The location of the final Thong, the Thong of Peace, is still a mystery. The Thong of Generosity belongs to jolly old Santa Claus, while the Thong of Justice is worn by DeathSpank himself. The Thong of Compassion is in the possession of an evil nun, and the Thong of Cuisine is worn by a famous TV chef.

One of six corrupted Thongs of Virtue, Sandy is on a mission to collect all of them together so that they might be destroyed. With the defeat of Lord Von Prong, the mysterious Sandy has revealed to our venerable hero the secret the villain bears beneath his knickers, and source of his corruption: the mighty Thong of Courage. Luckily, the gameplay was already solid while the plot and humor is really what drove the game forward, making Thongs of Virtue a perfect, if near-identical, sequel in every way. This should come as little surprise, given the short time between the games’ releases. While the story and world are all brand new, the core of the gameplay remains identical to the original title. Unfortunately, that also means that there’s very little to say about DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue that hasn’t already been said. But a shock though it may be, it’s a welcome one, because Thongs of Virtue is every bit as witty and entertaining as the original. DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue‘s announcement and subsequent release was a shock, especially when it was revealed that the game was actually completed prior to Ron Gilbert’s departure. The last thing I ever expected was to not only be hearing about, but actually playing that sequel less than three months later.

With creative mastermind Ron Gilbert departing Hothead Games shortly after development finished, the future of the Dispensor of Justice was precarious. When I reviewed DeathSpank back in July, one of the things that I lamented was the uncertain nature of a sequel.
