Quick Look: Ms. Splosion Man

'splode!

cool?
 
ah finally
 
holy shit 55min

yes!

whoa

As good as the first?

Maybe...

Awesome

Always be full motion cut-scenes! Oh, Twisted Pixel.

Mildly sexist, but in good spirit.

So yeah, I'm sold.

Is there a list of how MANY times Brad dies in a QL rather than how soon?

Kelly LeBrock was the chick in Weird Science. Awesome movie, awesome reference.

'Splosion Man was my favorite game in 2009, so I can't wait for this game, it's going to be awesome! Also, 55 minutes, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

its splodin' time!

Dammit Brad, use the fat woman to propel the bomb!

RIGHT ON BRAD!...at 7:00 in. And no lady gaga,no fucking lady gagag...oh thank god! Ms. esplosionman is born her own way

Twisted Pixel sure loves them some Total Recall.

Weird Science is 8 years older than me and even I could have named Kelly LeBrock

First one was too hard/frustrating for me to really enjoy it, seems like this one has the same problem times two (at least).

Unreal ain't got nothin on Beard! 

I don't know that she's as charming as the original 'Splosion Man, but the game certainly looks better.

ha brad's ghost data

At 800 points everyone should pick this up day one, at least please try the demo. 'Splosion Man was like the best game on XBLA, from playing the beta this should also be at least well worth 800 points.

I love the original. Still need to finish the last world on multiplayer, but the single player experience was amazing (sans hardcore mode... ouch).

Also, this looks great. I think Brad has some serious Quick Look anxiety. I'm sure he's quite good at games, but I think he psyches himself out on QLs.

I kind of don't like the hard puzzle stops. I prefer the always be sploding of the first world and most of the first game. Still looks awesome however.

I'm sorry but you guys are not good with puzzles. Still it is a nice game.

Not sold. Twisted Pixel are slowy losing me... That dig at Capcom in the game is just fucking stupid. Two wrongs don't make a right eh?

@bybeach: There was Lady Gaga all over the place in that video.

I like the over the top women-ly-ness of the game. I found the first game lacked personality.

Brad is soooooooooooooo fucking terrible at games. He makes barriers that aren't there. He always finds problems based soley on him being confused by the simpliest of game mechanics.

Oh wow, I want that soundtrack.

There is one design decision here that is bothering me with the multiplayer. 
 
In the original, the multiplayer levels often had switches that had to be hit simultaneously by everyone in the game in order to proceed to the next checkpoint; they ensured that the players pulled off the jumps well enough so everyone got through the room in one piece. From this video, and my experience in the beta, they seem to have done away entirely with that aspect. 
 
It's a shame, because I really thought it added to the co-operative nature of the game -- you had to make sure your partner survived and not just yourself.

Well, since they established a precedent by making the soundtrack for the first game available for free on their website, you'll probably get your wish... ;)

Brad doing some Brad.

Hahaha, so cool. :D

Twisted Pixel dropped the ball on the fat lady song. Otherwise this game looks exactly how I expected it too. BUCK WILD.

Yessss!  Day 1 purchase for me!  =D

Loved the first one, so buying this is an easy choice. Looks great.

Nothing like seeing Brad pulling a Brad for 55 minutes.

55 mins is not quick.....but it is awesome.

Fucking fuck this is not on fucking PSN. Fuck.

"I got through this the first time" And brads ghost is still struggling on the first puzzle as he says that :D

Game looks both hilarious and awesome, just like the first one. Planning on buying this on day one.

Brad Shoemaker: kicks ass at highly complex and competitive RTS, but can't figure out basic platforming puzzles.

Powered by Beard. Both genius and surprisingly good looking.

And Comic Jumper is arguably the worst game to be released on a console ever. That was also the last time those developers will see my money, Never again. Seriously bad :(

@sofacitysweetheart: You wont give them money for an arguably good game because you once gave them money for an arguably bad game?

Bought, bought and SPLODE !!!
