At it's highs - it's awesome. But at it's lows - it's kind of a slog.
Humor and simplicity of it are it's strongest suits.
Graphics are good, explosions and fires feel impactful, although sounds layer on each other weirdly.
Player's character has a very inconsistent speed. Sometimes setting trees on fire gives you so much speed you can destroy entire camps just on that one boost alone. At other times, speed bonus is so negligable, that it becomes virtually impossible to outpace hippies and you just die.

yep this was a deliberate design choice - there is no speed bonus for lighting trees on fire, instead you gain speed when you're surrounded by fire and lose speed when you're out in the open. Without this the game was too easy. The best strategy is to light a few trees on fire in a circle, build up some speed while distracting the movers and then dart out into the open field to capture the tents.
