"UnMetal is a hilarious spoof of the Metal Gear series that manages to forge its own identity through clever inventory-based puzzles. With that in mind, it&s;s hard not to get frustrated whenever you bite the dust due to some unexpected …"

"UnMetal is an entertaining adventure. While the brash, joke-a-minute pace and low-brow adult humor might not be to everyone&s;s taste, the stealth gameplay and variety of challenges are enough to recommend at least taking a look or trying a demo."
