So Polos are pretty much just a rip off of Lifesavers? I know that Milky Way bars in the US are Mars Bars in the UK and Snickers are the same.
What shocked me was how different Lays are. Walkers have this really high quality texture and taste to them. Lays felt really greasy and crumbly. Though I tried Lays in China so that might have been something to do with it.

Can you even call games like this that when they use the company mascot and are pretty much all about the product?
I don't know, there probably isn't THE definition of product placement but to me PP always was more when the product is shown more subtly in scenes and such.
To me it would be PP if for example Bond instead of his martini drank or mxed his martini at the side of the shot with a can of Coca Cola - without focusing on the can.
It would not be PP anymre if it was about Coca Cola spy man trying to capture the evilton who has stolen the secret Coca Cola recipe and who turns to the camera with the can with the words "it's so refreshing!".
Though I guess what would you call those over the top PP games else.
