The young man responsible for “The Torture Game 2” doesn’t think you should take his little creation too seriously. Sure, it’s a computer game in which you, the player, are asked to do horrible, unspeakable, and totally sick, sick, sick things to a defenseless man-like person tied up in some dark room from which he has absolutely no hope of escape. And, sure, one of the horrible, unspeakable, and totally sick, sick, sick things you might, perhaps, do to this man is put a chainsaw to his neck until his head falls off.

But it is, after all: Just. A. Game. As in, nobody really gets hurt. Here, a pale, androgynous human hangs from ropes on the computer screen before you. Among the devices at your disposal — a chainsaw, a razor blade, spikes, a pistol … and a paintbrush (take that!)

There’s little in the way of instructions and no points to be earned. Instead, this dangling ragdoll offers you a canvas to do with what you will — stab him with spikes, flay the skin from his body with a razor, pull his limbs off with your bare hands, paint him every color of the rainbow. No matter what you do to him, he never screams and his expression never changes. He only utters a vague “uuungh” when you’ve inflicted enough damage to kill him.

And that’s pretty much it.

I admit I have never been much of a gamer…short attention span, maybe. The few games I have played all had an addictive quality to them, but there was some skill, some involvement to them that kept you coming back for more. But I see no redeeming value to this piece of crap whatsoever. It doesn’t even qualify as a game.
