 Basically, this game is awesome. Its visuals remind me a lot of the film Planet Terror from Grindhouse, with its liberal use of film grain, visual artefacts, slow-down effects, etc. Unfortunately, the engine is kind of bad as it suffers from frequent slowdown, but the style is such an effective pastiche of 70s grindhouse films that I can't help but forgive the game. Again, a strong and distinctive style does much to overcome the game's shortfalls in comparison to more technically impressive games.

I really loved this simply for the simple reason that is was fun.  I mean laugh out loud, shoot the hell out of stuff fun.  It was the most fun I have had in a game in a very long time.  I mean, I enjoy games a lot, but this was significant fun and isn't that why we play games?  It is also cheap, so I think anyone with a Wii is mad not to play it, unless of course if they are easily offended and it is offensive.  You are right about the engine, but it didn't harm my fun at all.  As for Fragile, I don't have it yet, but desperately want to play it.  It is a game like this that really makes me annoyed at mainstream game retailers.  I have not seen a single copy of this game in any local store.  I saw it a few weeks back at JB and that is it.  How the hell is the public supposed to buy it when all the regular retail outlets don't even stock it?  Nice right up, and it just increase my desire to get it. "

I've never seen a post apocalyptic environment realised so beautifully in a game before. Fragile creates a wonderful almost dream like ambiance, that tugs on all the heart strings of the artist in me. I love the game despite it's few flaws, I honestly couldn't care less about the games combat, which I'm sure the majority of Westerners will have an aversion to. The prime focus of this game is it's ambiance and story, something I myself appreciate. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, I happen to think in some ways this game is ahead of it's time.
  
It captured my imagination, and I do love it for that alone

What the hell are you talking about? There is a difference between complaining about a press release issued by a movie company and a press release issued by a magazine that is suppose to be seen as a credible, reliable source of unbiased information.   God, you Nintendo fanboys will freak out about anything.

" Holy shit.  So much staff-fellatio going on here. "

Their both right dude. You should give up your hopes of becoming a designer :) 
 
I'm personally baffled when contemplating how any developer could use it in a way which brings about new gameplay. I think It may be impossible unless it's used in addition with another feature the 3DS may have.

No, this is not the stuff I'm talking about. This is nothing new, just a slight visual enhancement. "

" i feel this is relevant and may give some a little perspective:
