Looking pretty awesome. I just wish it had some actual depth and challenge to it like God Hand, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

Looks pretty cool for a Wii game, but is there anything else you do besides killing dudes in a gory fashion?

Seemed like you missed all of the Mayhem Dispensers - too bad, I was hoping to see what the Spiked Bat would do.  Standard Beat-em-up fare here, might be a pickup since it seems standard to final Fight / Streets of Rage / etc.

Wow...is Nintendo that desperate to put mature original games on the Wii?
It looks like something you would get from the bargain bin.

Why I'm eighty of course! Not liking how calm and accepting of their fate people are when grabbed. Its like they're hypnotised or something. Surely the'yd want to avoid the whole rectal impalement thing.

Good voice actor for Jack. Sounds like Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop.

Great to see you guys continuing the tradition of sucking @ the first time. No offense. Game reminds me too much of God Hand.

I'll get it when it hits $20.  The boss battles look like they might be worth that.

This game is banking too much on its style/gore/cussing.

First age gate. Im 24 but I still choose 80.  Ethical or not, it makes life easier. Just scrolling to the bottom and clicking.

This game seems too over the top in violence. The gameplay itself looks like an average beat-em-up. How is this any different from Watchman's game. Violence passing off as good gameplay isn't the answer Nintendo.

haha, it is ironic that the wii is the console to have the most violent game I have seen in ages, classic.  Nintendo's answer to the hardcore fans of the wii.  I like it.

I like how the age gate starts at '1'. If a 1 year old can navigate this site, they can watch a beefy man person be sodomized with a traffic cone sized spike.

Thanks for the quick look.  BTW, get to work on learning those combos, you made the game look dull in the way you played it.

Agree with Linkyshinks, they made the game look boring in this quicklook bc they suck at it...imagine a quick look of a DMC game only using the basic 4-hit sword combo. Thats what this was like.

this game seems to be a gimmick to me. it's trying too hard to be violent and yet its on the Wii. i bet this game won't sell that well with the casual gamers.

Age gate is balls, at least it doesn't ask me to input my birthday, those suck. Why must there be an age gate when I'm logged in?

This is the most wildly inappropriate thing I've ever seen. Thumbs up for absurdity, but I don't think I could pay full price for this in good conscience.

Ugh, the color scheme on this thing makes my brain hurt...I'm all for violence but there's no way in hell I'm playing this thing.

The commentary between Ryan and Jeff is priceless, though. =D

Seeing all the previous coverage I was interesting in seeing how this game would turn out. But after watching this video - besides the art style - this seriously looks mediocre to me. Completely lost interest.

Not diggin the heavy black n' white theme but looks like an insanely fun game if you like a lot of blood and killing dudes in crazy sadistic ways.

THIS should totally Giant Bomb's next Endurance Run! :)

Wow, probably the first wii game that has ever impressed me.
Very over the top, and with loads of style. Looks like fun.
Any chance of a 360 version???
