It looks rough. It doesent look like the technical end of this game isnt as good as it should be.

The dialogue seems awesome, not really sold on the combat or graphics. But it will be a definitive buy for me.

More and more this seems like a game I'm going to need to buy. And unlike some I still like Jack Black, not as much as I used too since he is kind of played out, but I certainly don't dislike him.

Playing through Grim Fandango at the moment. I love Tim Shafer's style of humor.

Looks hot! I think Jack Black is doing a good job, not too over the top, but just absurd enough. And Schafer is THE MAN!!!

Wow, this game wasn't even on my radar.  I have heard great things about Schafer games before but have never played one myself.  This short look has sold me.  The game looks awesome - decent action but funny as hell.

"Oh, man, don't tell me I've been slaying hot girls this whole time." Brilliant.

I'm not a fan of heavy metal or Jack Black, but this looks like a pretty good game.

Looks awesome definately has the style I was looking for, but unfortunately, like Psychonauts, I get the impression it controls like shit. Oh well, hopefully this isnt the final build, some of the animations looked a little whack, specifically Eddie's walking animation at the beginning.

Still, the loss of Dio means this is not a day one purchase for me, but I will definately be buying it at some point.

I don't like Schafer's style of humour much but I always love the artstyles in his games.

@The_A_Drain: I know what you mean. The guy controlling the car didn't make it look easy. Also, when he was running over the nuns the animation was a little funky, the way they got "pushed" and then sort-of collapsed. And I don't think I remember seeing any ragdoll physics, either. Still, it looks fun, and I do like the art direction and humour. It's not revolutionary or anything, but it's still good.

I was getting really pissed because I couldn't figure out what song it was that comes on near the beginning.

It's Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave !

I hope they put more awesome music in the game; the theme of the game is awesome, I just hope the gameplay is up to scratch.

That was just the intro??! I'll impressed but then the amount of content in most games these days is insane. Oh, and Eddie from Iron Maiden NEEDS to be in this game, it's a must.

Oh man, I'm glad it didn't really spoil anything but the tutorial stuff and I can now safely say  this is a must by for me. October is going to be one hell of a month.
