This one spoke to the Guitar Hero fanatic in me as, by picking up either the banjo or sitting at the piano, we were able to create some dulcet tunes as we held together a combo made up of only three buttons. Crushing it for a home run will even net you a trophy if you’re capable. Whether you take the bat or the ball, this is definitely a bit of fun. Once you get to the trailer park when going to visit Leo’s family, you’ll both be free to line up and try your hand at America’s favourite pastime. Is there anything more embedded in American culture than going out and hitting the god damned ball out of the god damned park? I don’t think so.

These are pretty rudimentary button-mashing exercises and there isn’t a whole lot to strive for as, apparently, you max out at about twelve reps, which is far less than we on the Press Start crew can manage in real-life.
