    I'm really enjoying it. I don't think it's quite as funny as it wants to be but it has managed to make me laugh out loud a few times. The bosses are epic and the gameplay does have some depth thanks to a chaining mode.

    I think the graphics are really impressive for a Wii game. They nailed the colours and the "sci-fi/horror" look entirely.

    Really enjoyed the Carnival level too.

    Music is fucking brilliant.

    I will get it. It looks pretty awesome and I loved RE: Umbrella Chronicles, so this seems like a natural fit.

    I'm loving it so far, I just had a question about the Gun Store.  I thought I could just replay the same level over and over again to rack up some cash, but when I replayed a level right after I beat it, it didn't keep my cash from the first run through, it just overwrote it.  Can I go back and play other older levels and still keep my cash?  Otherwise it'll take forever to unlock all the weapons.

    Haha I just finished the story mode, the cut scene right before the final boss battle was hilarious, one of my favorite game endings that I've seen in a while.  Back to Directors Cut Mode!

    Not yet. Unfortunately a pre-order of Killzone 2 and SF 4 took away all the money I had. Maybe in a couple of months.

    the fact that the detective in the game sounds alot like Samuel L. Jackson is enough to convince me to purchase

    also it seems like fun, like RHCPfan, I enjoyed RE: Umbrella Chronicles alot... so this should be great (I also really like the concept)

    Would I be able to play this without the zapper or the hand cannon?

    I want it but I have to get SFIV, then Killzone 2, then we have Madworld and RE5 coming out.  Hopefully buy time things settle down I can get the game and a zapper.
