If they make a squeal they should, seeing as they don't have to worry about story, do a parody of the 100 agent smith fight from the matrix reloaded except you've got 100 Nazi stick men......THAT WAS BE TOTAL WIN :D

Oh my God yes. I can see it now, Brad would be the player character, so that every time you fuck up it can say you 'pulled a Brad'.

Yeah, I agree with them. If it had better fight choreography, and it didn't just look like doofuses that don't know how to fight fighting each other, it'd be better. To me, this just looks like silly crap.

Wow, it's....it's not aggressively bad. An FMV fighting game and it's alright. Color me impressed. Bravo to the gentlemen who put this thing together. I'm glad I live in a world where this can exist.

This is actually pretty cool, I have to say. It seems silly but it is a great idea.

Edit: I needed to add that this game is available on the iPad for 3 dollars. Get it, it's really good.

Well, the company seems with it enough to realize it probably wouldn't sell on iOS for $10, but $3? It might get a little bit of attention...

I was surprised by how good the production seems to be. The moves, especially that third stage with the half-ass throws, aren't the best, though...

Only reason the swastika is blanked out is because this came out in EU and you can't have in a game released in Germany. This looks amazing, might go buy it for the lols

It's definitely worth 3 dollars. The iOS port is identical to the PC one as shown here as far as I can tell. I've had a good time with it. Also, as Jeff said, the game gets pretty tough. I highly recommend this game to people who like rhythm games, as that is what it is, but without the music... and way more fighting. Like, way.

I fully support what this product represents. I have been trying to figure out if the developers are in on the joke, but then I remember Nazi Man.

those graphics look real!

Also I hope the 5th guy (achievements went by guy and there were 5 rows), is the final boss and its just YOU with inverted colors and they never show the doubles face when both of you are in shot, like the bad twin effect on TV shows.
