"Michael "TYP" says: A game based on Walker Texas Ranger or Conan O'Brien is bound to be better than this (and cost the publisher even less)!"

A Conan O'Brien game would rock! As long as playable characters include the Mastrubating Bear and Cactus Chef playing 'We Didn't Start The Fire' on flute.
Oh, and of course, a minigame where Triumph poops on celebrities.
