Because if a Japanese developer knows how to do anything, it's 360 exclusive shooters.
 
Yup.

We're being put off by it, and showing our concern for the game.

But has anyone tried to make a 360 exclusive shooter embracing Japanese-Fucked-Up-Craziness? Most of them have been pretty straightforward, "serious" and "gritty" affairs. This looks like they are actually enjoying the Japanese-ness of it, instead of trying to be "American" with it.

So this game is a re skin of The Club that failed to sell and was crap. Pretty much they had some copies left over, put a bunny suit on one, a clown on the other, and said BRAND NEW CRAZY GAME CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!
 
That game was shit and this looks even worse.

How many terrible games out of Japan can we chalk up to "well it's deliberately bad, right?" before it gets too much?

Uh...Mortal Kombat, anyone? Or is that supposed to be serious and mature? I think it's pretty dumb. This looks stupid too, by the way. I'd be surprised if it turns into anything good.

Idk, could turn out alright, I never liked sliding mechanics in multiplayer (they tend to be overused, even when its not beneficial). But I could see it being a interesting game if its balanced right.
 
But, I really can't see any decent singleplayer coming out of it, besides some random sandbox world thing.

It's as though someone wondered why Americans don't play pretty anime games and decided to make the ugliest non-anime game possible.

Wait. . .how. . .what? What does Mortal Kombat have to do with anything? I think to make the point you're going for, you have to name a Japanese video game comedy that's serious and mature, not a. . .I'm not even sure what you're trying to say.

This game was made by Square Enix EUROPE, which was formerly Eidos. Eidos, was a British company. This is simply a bad looking game, not an attempt from the Japanese to  "meet American needs". Companies are not people, no matter how much they want you to think so.

A more appropriate analogy would be if Toyota bought out Ford and re-named the company Toyota America. Just because a company bought out another one, doesn't mean suddenly the whole chained of command was replaced.

I liked it better when it was called The Club... Well, actually I didn't even like it then...
 
Also, ya'll are kinda thick if you think Square Enix only publishes JRPGs. They are a huge publisher now. 
 It's like how Koei have become Tecmo-Koei so that Dynasty Warriors and Ninja Gaiden are on the same label now.
