UK-based Onion Soup Interactive?s Nippon Marathon has a bit. That bit is somewhere in-between ?Japan is wacky? and ?bad, on purpose, is actually good.? After spending time with it over a weekend, I?m still not sure if I don?t ?get? it, I?m not buying what it?s selling, or if I fell into a time portal to a distant, meme-y past. Wherever the truth lies in terms of this game?s goals or authorial intent, at the end of the day I can?t say I enjoyed my time bumbling around a bunch of almost sardonic-feeling Japan humor and gameplay that seems to have been inspired by QWOP.
