The graphics look a lot like ToV or Eternal Sonata. And Gunslinger face is the best thing i have ever seen.

Looks good, but right now I prefer Ultimate Ninja Storm; even if it is a Naruto game it's badass.

Thanks Jeff, I've been interested in this game for a while now but haven't seen much for gameplay videos. After seeing your demonstration and reading a few reviews I probably will pick it up.

Guilty Gear XX is my favorite fighting game that I've ever played, so I'll probably be checking this out.  Thanks!

I'm really liking these quick looks... honest, spontaneous impressions and unedited gameplay give me a pretty good idea of what it woulld be like if I had this game.  As for the game itself... looks pretty sweet.  I was a pretty avid player of Guilty Gear X2, and if the combat system in this game is as deep, then I'd totally be in... if I had a 360.  Oh well, it's nice to want things.

Hope you do more of these "quick look" vids. Been wondering about this game, and it was cool to see all of the characters in action.

Gotta say though, that was pretty mean when that girl spun you around and kissed you, and you replied with the Roadmaster. Cold, Jeff.

I was very close to picking this up the other day but it's being sold for 59.99 which is way too much money for this especially since Guilty Gear is coming out like next month sometime.

Weird thing is that the game's Cedric looks like the Harry Potter IV Cedric Diggory.

I really like the "Quick Look" vids... Keep them coming please!?!?

Also, I want to say kudos for taking a look at a game that isn't highly hyped and a little obscure.  I might have to give this game a try not, the action looks pretty good...

Also, don't mess with Gunslinger Face!  That guy is a gunslinger! And I'm pretty sure his face is a gunslinger as well, with a FACE!

I'm more entertained with the commentary. A little disappointing not seeing Gunslinger face.

I'm really glad you covered this game.  I seen screen shots here and there, and I'm a big fan of guilty gear.  I'm most likely going to check it out (if I can find it.)  Love the quick veiw videos.  It feels like how previews should be done.

I really like these video preview/talkthroughs. Keep them up.

The game seems interesting, I mean, the dudes gota  frickin chainsaw/scooter and there's a dude named Gunslinger Face. You can't beat that. With a stick.

I actually have the game and it's not bad at all, the online play has zero button delay lag it feels like your playing offline. It has the old school Street Fighter feel with a small move list with some juggling, parrying and counter parry where you can knock them into a wall and follow that up with a combo.

And the D-pas works perfectly in this game, unlike other fighting games on the xbox, doing directional moves seem very easy to do in this game.

Gametag: PsYuSoFly if you want to play. THAT MEANS YOU JEFF!

I'll wait for it to be cheap. $60 bones is Over-G Fighter territory for this game.  Does it have a level up system with XP and stats?  Does it have shop?

I'm still waiting for a game like Red Earth (or Red Earth for that matter) on a home console.

Looks decent, good game to hold me and my buddies over till Street Fighter 4. Thanks Jeff! You are pretty fucking good at it lol! Oh and does the terrible 360 d-pad hinder it much? If so I think I will pick up the PS3 version.

If it's by the guys that did Guilty Gear, it's alright in my book. Might have to pick it up if I can find it.

Oddly enough, last fighting game I've played? Guilty Gear X2 # Reload like four years ago.

So the girl tries to kiss you Jeff and you respond by cutting the sh*t out of her with a chainsaw ? What the f dude ?
Game looks cool though. However I seriously doubt that it will ever come close to release here in Denmark. We only get the mainstreamest of the mainstream unfortunately :/

I played this in a Japanese arcade last year, it was on X2 so I expected it would come to 360. Graphically it looks great, the animation is certainly stunning. But, does it have the gameplay?, well the Japanese peeps in the arcades seemed to like it, but then it was only just released when I was out there.
