The Frenetic Five vs. Mr. Redundancy Man

Part of Frenetic Five

Author:Neil deMause
Genres:Humor
Superhero
Released:1999
Review:

Smaller and tighter than the first entry in the series, and funnier as well. You and the gang are chasing the title character, and you overcome some amusingly mundane obstacles. Mr. Redundancy Man is hilarious, as is another fellow named the Validator, who praises everything you do, and your sidekicks have lots of funny asides. An immensely amusing half hour or so.

Rating: ****
