"Eat Lead: The Return Of Matt Hazard" is a real mixed bag. The standard of the animation is often pretty poor, although sometimes it’s difficult to tell whether this is intentional or not. Howevere, what it does mean is that a lot of the humour falls pretty flat. It’s also very specialist stuff, so unless you’re a pretty hardcore gamer, and have been for many years, you may find that a lot of the jokes you just won’t get anyway. Read more
- Good mix of levels, Lots of weapons, Some specialist jokes do work
- Not very funny, Dumb A, No multiplayer

In the end Eat Lead simply isn't a good enough game to make the most of the brilliant script and isn't the game to get Matt Hazard's career back on track. Read more
- Often funny, Good script
- Dull gameplay, Controls feel off

on paper has everything to be a good game but due to the lazyness of the developers it's reached a new depth in game development. The only positive points are the voice acting of Will Arnett and Neill Patrick Harris and the way too easy achievements or trophies that can be gotten. These don't manage to compete with the many downpoints this game contains though. Read more
- Comedy, Easy achievements/trophies
- Sub-par graphics, Repetitive shootouts, Sound stops at times, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard

The defining moment of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard happened in first of the game’s two "generic warehouse" levels (not to be confused with the "generic dockyards" level, which features warehouses). I'd just passed a checkpoint after killing a few water-gun-toting enemies (no doubt an incisive dig at the briefly-popular-five-years-ago trend of non-violent shooter games for younger kids) when I walked through a door and found nothing on the other side.

It's not a very good shooter, but it might make you think (and laugh) about the games you play. Read more
- Will Arnett's voice work is quite funny; interesting work of parody, satirizing game design history.
- Points out some of the worst parts of gaming by example, which often isn't fun; not a great shooter.
