Sounded cool in theory, but in practice, I guess adding a piranha to a giant snake doesn't really do anything. I mean what does a piranha add to the table? Sharp teeth and the ability to go underwater. But an anaconda's already got both those, so...

But I digress, Wynorski is a veteran when it comes to this sort of thing, and I'm always on the lookout for the odd gem like Chopping Mall. But they don't often come, and by-and-large it's wading through a river of crap. Piranhaconda is just another dump in that stream.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
