Garcia "FUCKING" Hotspur. Even worse an idea to mess with him.

That was much more dramatic than the trailers before this.

I loved Tropico 3. I look forward to playing this when the price drops below 20.

I really figured that a game from the guys who did Vanquish (Shinji Mikami), No More Heroes 2 (Suda 51) and Yamaoaka (Silent Hill) would be ....more exciting some how. I mean, the game looks fine. I'm just not feeling quite pumped for it. And I LOVED Vanquish and No More Heroes - both of 'em. The visuals are really muddy here, it just doesn't look too hot. I don't think Grasshopper has very good texture artists and/or high res sculptors. To be fair, this IS their first HD console game. Considering they've just been working on the super-stylized NMH franchise lately, I suppose it's actually quite good looking. But something about this game just rubs me the wrong way. 
 
Still gonna play it though. Just not a priority. Not with Duke Nukem Forever to check out and both Alice and Alice Madness Returns to play through now, anyway. (Thanks for that sweet bonus there, EA!)

This looks better than I thought it would in a weird way. Might have to pick it up later in the year when I have more cash.

the color palette looks interesting, unusual at least.  The character models creep me out a little.  voice acting is kinda bad but doesn't bother me.  I'll check this one out.

Was that the voice of T. K. Baha? If so, that's the most interesting thing I've heard about this game so far.

This game really does not appeal to me. I just don't like the way it looks or the atmosphere. Suda games always seem to be every bit as juvenile and off-putting as the Duke Nukem Forever humor that everyone complains about.

While I know that this particular type of humor would not appeal to everyone, but comparing this to DNF shows exactly why that game is universally panned. Sure they both have dick jokes and juvenile humor, the only difference is that here it is self aware, sincere, not mean spirited and most importantly... funny.

And unlike DNF, hopefully there will be a decent game to go with the aesthetics.

Johnson is already so loveable.
I hope this game is amazing. Not necessarily good, just... you know, amazing.

Steve Blum makes for an awful Spaniard... but I think that's exactly why they cast him.

I dunno what you guys are on about, I think the game looks fine. Sure it's not mindblowingly beautiful graphics, but I wouldn't say it's "ugly".

Besides, I think the story seems to be the appeal here, much like Grasshopper's other games. Rediculous, and crazy, and really awesomely dumb.

Looking forward to it.

I still stand by my opinion that this game looks kind of ugly, and pretty stupid. Feel free to beat me up now, hope you enjoy it.

Damn, this looks great. Characterdesign and voice overs both match and crash (like that overkill demon with a regular voice. Excellent crash!), this game is shaping up to be a real great one.
