Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is, much like the show it comes from, an odd mix of randomness and crazy fun.

At its core, Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is a golf game ... there just happens to be a good bit of fighting and action mini-games sprinkled throughout. The premise is that Frylock has been invited to join the Jersey Pines Golf Club and Master Shake is appalled that he cannot join. So he is determined to show Frylock that he is a better golfer than the red-one.

The trio, yes Meatwad is involved, he just has a much smaller part in the actual game, take off to the golf course (in Carl's car) and play a few holes. So how do the fighting and action mini-games fit in? Well, once you swing your club and launch your ball towards the hole, you have to walk to the ball. As you make your way to the next location, various enemies spring up (like tree aliens and Carl's crabs) and Shake and Frylock must dispatch them before actually being able to continue their game.

Along the way, you can pick up various weapons and when you are back in golf-mode, you can use those same weapons as clubs. It was rather funny to see Shake launch a golf-ball 150 yards with a sword, but fans of the show should expect nothing less.

Though the game is not directly related to the upcoming film, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters," it is just another example of how much this show has grown.
