How many Lara Croft 'boobalikes' will it take before we actually say, "That's it. No more!" We're not sure but there certainly appear to be more clones than the aging Tomb Raider genre can handle right now. Apart from Tomb Raider and its sequel we've had to endure the likes of Excalibur 2555AD, Death Trap Dungeon, 5th Element, Montezuma Returns et. al. None of these aforementioned titles could be called sterling successes either.

Nevertheless, Ripcord Entertainment made a rather large fuss about Space Bunnies Must Die! when opting to publish the game. Anyone that went to E3 can't have failed to notice their huge (in every sense of the word) marketing effort. There were Bunnies and Bunny Girls roaming the show floor from dawn 'till dusk. Sure, they attracted attention but marketing campaigns are only of passing interest to us at Sharky Extreme. Somewhere, hidden inside the glossy silver box, there is actually a CD with a game called Space Bunnies Must Die! (SBMD! from now on because the name is so bloody long) on it. What you really want to know is whether or not the game actually cuts the carrot. Although what you probably won't want to know is that the story is left open ended, thus allowing for a sequel…

Let's start off chronologically and rather positively with SBMD!'s 1950s B-Movie story shall we? You play the role of a truck-stop waitress who goes by the name of Allison Huxster. Our little 'earth honey' isn't just a waitress, she's also a part time rodeo-rider. Anyone smell cheese? She might well be a 'honey' but she's not content to simply serve up greasy eggs and bacon because an evil horde of mutant alien bunnies (yep, BUNNIES) have kidnapped her sister Jocelyn and shackled her up at the Bunny Complex. It only gets worse from that point on. Lothar Lacivious (the king of the hill and king of the bunnies) has taken a fancy to Jocelyn and keeps the country singer 'singing' to his tunes somewhere in the depths of Space Bunny Mountain (a dormant Volcano to be precise). What a silly bunny. Are we having fun yet? Need we continue? Painful as it is, as Allison, you're supposed to rescue your twin sister and fellow honey bunny. Off you swan in search of your 'sis' and enter the Slaughterhouse, where mutant bunnies are oppressing and torturing humans and animals. Thank you very much, we'll stop there.
