Before I begin the review, I'd just like to ask why are some of you complaining about the title of the game? You act as if it's the worst name in the history of flash games, but it isn't even one of the worst names out there. Well, at least to me it isn't, I find it rather decent. Not great, but it's not bad either.
The year is 2540 and it is referred to as the dark times. You are Jack Van Cell, and you are an underground militia agent working within the city of Pragora against a bio-robotic regime called the Stingers. The stingers are synthetically grown in laboratories and comes within 2 different grades: grade 1 stingers are the guards that enforce the law, and grade 2 are the stingers that are much like humans, but are in disguise.
The gameplay isn't exactly as difficult as EIKkshi said; it isn't way too difficult in the slightest because once you know what to do, and after you beat the game it will be much easier the second time. You can really breeze through the game quite easily, and I happen to have reached in 4th place within the Scoreboard for the day, and I made it in 20th place for the week. Too bad it doesn't say much about the month, but if anything the game isn't too hard at all. Again, once you know what to do and know where the enemies are, you'll breeze through this very easily. In fact I have beaten this game 3 times in a row very quickly without a single failure.
What I love about the gameplay is how it blends point and click with sniper gameplay, and I personally find this to be unique as I have never seen this sort of hybrid before. And it really does work really well together, but there are there is one complaint I have with the overall game in regards of the campaign: in one particular mission you are to head up the stairs to do your next mission, but only staff is allowed. The mission takes place within a restaurant and a guard is pretty much monitoring the location, but you can somehow steal the uniform of a staff member without him noticing. I find this to be very problematic because he is facing within the proper direction for him to see you disguising yourself; after all, the door was still open, so he should steal see it from his perspective.
Other than that little problem, the game does suffer from another problem and that is being too easy; I really do find this game to be a bit too easy, it really doesn't show much of a challenge.
But the gameplay over all is still fun, and I do like how you don't necessarily
have to read the entire briefings for each mission; you can just read the Objectives and the Information which tell you all what you really need, and then you are off. Very quick and simple.
The graphics are really fantastic, and I would argue amount the amount of redness there is in the whole game, but I think the red kind of represents the dark time of the year and the Stinger regime running the town of Pragora. So, the redness of the visuals really does help with the storyline of the game.
Now, if you played the Bowja the Ninja, you'll notice some graphical similarities, and the animation is also rather the same; this isn't a bad thing, as the game looks great and animates really well. The environment and character designs are really impressive.
The sound is also another great aspect of the game, and it is nice that the game doesn't have the comedic effect that Bowja the Ninja had. Not that I had anything wrong with it, but if that was in JVC I definitely be rating the sound much lower as I don't believe it would work well. The sound here is actually more serious than it is in Bowja the Ninja, and you'll notice that within the good music and good sound effects. There not being any voice acting actually is a plus because I believe adding in voice acting will only ruin it, rather or not it turned out to be good voice acting.
GOOD - Decent storyline. Unique hybrid. Reading the full briefings before each mission is not a must.
BAD - Too easy. Some problems within a specific mission mentioned earlier.

I reviewed the first one, and I have to admit that my review wasn't really all that good; my grammar was terrible back then. This is really why I want there to be some sort of editing option for reviewers. I did ask, but I got no response. So, to make up for my poor written review of the first one, I'm going to write a much better one for Hobo Prison Brawl.
This time the Hobo is in prison. And what is he doing? What he does best of course: punch, kick, throw, spit, puke, shit, and more.
The gameplay is still the same as it was before. It really isn't a bad thing, but a few changes would have been nice; I supposed you didn't want to bother to change much of anything 'cause of that one saying: If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
While the gameplay is the same, and you're doing the same good things as the first one. There are a couple of new moves that I don't think were in the first one, like the one where you get to piss on your enemies. The old moves you got from the first one when they were specials are now your basic moves; the newer ones you find here are the specials. And those passwords are still here, so be sure to write them some where if you want to keep continuing without starting all over.
The graphics haven't changed much either; the animation is still the same, as well as the overall visuals. Kind of wish they were a bit more improved, but they're not. Not to say it looks bad or anything, but it would have been nice for it to be improved.
Sound also isn't much different; you got the same soundtrack, and the sound effects are the same. Although they still sound pretty good.
GOOD - Just as fun and enjoyable as the first one. Some new moves.
BAD - Perhaps a bit too much of the same as the previous one.

"Really don't know about rating this one"
Firstly, I am not gay. Otherwise my DeviantART account would not be the way it is. But, the problem I have is, obviously not all the artwork is done by Glover85. So, what good is rating him going to do? I mean, he hasn't done the work, all he did was spent an hour just to find all this stuff online. This is something anybody can do, and already alot of people have done it. These people would search online for good hentai, added to their flash gallery, and then post it. These people haven't done the artwork themselves, they didn't spend weeks or months creating this amazing drawings; they just found them off the web and they really don't give any credit.
And even if Glover85 did some of these, which ones are they? And for the ones he hasn't done, why didn't they credit them? I think it's rather unfair to just take artwork from other sites and not at all credit them. And because the artwork isn't done by the author of this flash, I cannot give it a rating. 'Cause what can I say? The artwork is sexy and makes me wanna cum? Well, yeah, but it'd be more of a compliment towards the artists themselves.
Bottom line is, I can't talk about how good or bad anything is in this flash 'cause Glover85 didn't do any of it, other than the back and fourth buttons and the background. I can't say the music is good, because it's not his, it's by Tenacious D. I can't say the artwork is spectacular, 'cause they're obviously not his; they all got different art styles. So, really all I can say is: The background is too plain, but the buttons work fine.
I got a strange feeling people are going to mark this review useless; if you do, remember one important thing:
This is my opinion; I'm not going to sit here and lie just to make you feel better.

"awesome. purely awesome."
I've first of this in Crazy Tracker, and I must say I absolutely love this song. I really think you should do an expanded version of this, that is if you haven't already.
