''DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue'' is an action role-playing game by game designer Ron Gilbert and is the sequel to ''DeathSpank''. It was announced on August 23, 2010. The game adds new environments, modernized weapons, increased boss fights, and a new multiplayer character. ''Thongs of Virtue'' was released on September 21, 2010 on the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network and on September 22, 2010 on the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. The Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X versions were released November 30, 2010 and December 14, 2010, respectively via Steam. ''DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue'' follows the titular character DeathSpank as he searches for the six mystical Thongs of Virtue. The game is the second of a two-part series, and the story begins immediately after the end of the first title. The first half of the series, entitled ''DeathSpank'' was first released on July 13, 2010. Gilbert described ''DeathSpank'' as being "Act I" in the story, and ''Thongs of Virtue'' as being "Acts II and III". Critics received the game with generally positive reviews. Initial sales have been strong, with the Xbox 360 version selling nearly 32,000 units and the PlayStation 3 version nearly 39,000 units in 2010. Xbox Live Arcade sales exceeded 54,000 units in 2011. Critics enjoyed the continued humor, visual design and gameplay from the original game, however some critics felt that it was not different enough from the first game. ==Gameplay== As with ''DeathSpank'', the gameplay world of ''DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue'' is cylinder-shaped and is rendered without load screens as the player explores its unique goings-on. Gameplay is similar to ''Diablo'', featuring hundreds of pieces of armor and weapons. Advanced dialog options, similar to LucasArts' ''Monkey Island'' series, also play a large part in unfolding the game's story.〔 The game is being designed to be playable in short segments, and has three difficulty levels. It contains from 8 to 12 hours of gameplay depending on choices made during gameplay. In addition to the thirty-three main quests, players have the option of performing a total of 79 side quests.〔 After defeating the final boss, the player can continue to play in the environment, with money in the form of green currency rather than gold coins. ''Thongs of Virtue'' includes modern and sci-fi elements, including ranged weapons such as automatic firearms. Extraterrestrial aliens are also introduced as a new enemy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
