Gamescrap World's Greatest Trashcan Award Winner: The flatout ugliest Action 52 character.
Now this spells relief. You’ve got what is pretty much the ugliest mascot this side of Jersey Devil in a ball of matted (and no doubt whiskey soaked) beard. Mix that with gameplay that tries to mimic Sonic the Hedgehog and manages to fuck the execution up beyond belief.
Fuzz is on some sort of hair-related mission against hygeine apparently, since he refuses to part with his billowing, whiskey soaked bristles. The denziens of this hair holocaust consist of practical things such as hair dryers, combs, straight razors and apparently the guy in the apple costume from those Fruit of the Loom commercials are all out to strip Fuzz of his flowing neck mane.
Fuzz is capable of taking damage, but will lose hair in the process. Once Fuzz has lost all of his hair, he shows his true form…turns out he’s one big walking windsock of a flaccid cock. What’s worse are conveniently placed boulders like these:
Things start off hairy enough with the extremely brutal first level, which is only beatable by some stroke of luck. There's no strategy to it really...just charge forward and attack lest you get some hot air to the face from the cheaply placed hair dryers in your way. Levels two and three are much easier and actually almost feel like a real game, if the controls weren't as stupid as shit that is.Unfortunately, you never know who is behind this horrible hairtastrophe since there’s an impossible jump in the third level with a conveniently placed hole nearby to let you know that your $199 suggested retail price was very, very well spent.
There's also an awesome glitch when Fuzz is at half beard. If you jump and attack just right, he'll start walking in place at double speed, making you invincible against everything except pits.Those god damned pits.
And thus ends the story of Fuzz, the hobo clown angel nobody loved.
