Its not based on anything. Its not an 80s shooter or a 90s Saturday morning cartoon. But its intentionally supposed to feel like the latter, I think.

It first showed up as a game that was supposed to be like a 90s Saturday morning cartoon with a Ratchet and Clank-y artstyle and platforming and minigames, then it disappeared for a year and resurfaced as a beat-em-up with a less cartoony look.

Ryans jackass levels just rose to new heights. First hes complaing about Vinny not helping when Vinnys is acutally telling him how to play the game, then he complains about it when Vinny is actually helping and THEN he dies and unplugs the nunchuck. I swear, when it comes to playing games with others Ryan is acutally 14 years old =D

So are the three different characters kinda like Cody, Haggar, and Guy? The robot thing kinda reminds me of Dog from Half Life 2.

Man, this quick look was great. I loved the antagonism that Ryan brought to Vinny's nice-guy character. The Vinny-Ryan team has great chemistry.

Huh, Vinny seemed to be kind of digging it while Ryan was completely disenchanted the entire time. And he made that known, repeatedly.

Ryan´s humor is two fold. Its clearly not jokes all the way. He is actually mad competetive and has a very short fuse when it comes to gaming. Defend him all you want but sometimes it just gets on your nerves.

He´s often a funny guy but immensly immature in some regards, joke or not.

Sorry, didnt mean to rain on your parade... sigh..

I miss the original Spyborgs. I hate it that they made it into a beat-them-up. The original version looked so great!

This. 
 
Also I think this game, visually, looks pretty good. Otherwise, rather generic.

lol, first time I've seen someone pulling the plug on a quick look.
Looks all right.
Maybe kinda mindless, but looks better than that new republic star wars whatever that they showed before.

I'd recommend developing a sense of humour beyond that of a 14 year old's before passing judgement on anyone in the way you did with that first sentence.

@sammpoo:  No, I haven't, guy that signed up a year after I did. Brad has actually been doing pretty good in the QLs as of late. If "pulling a Brad" is so universally accepted, why isn't Ryan being a dick? They happen just as often. :P Don't mean any if it as a bad thing, they are who they are and it's why I love the site.

@ez123: what a horrible elitist attitude, you think that just because you signed up a year earlier than me that you have the right to call Mr Davis a 'dick'. Dude grow up, and if you really want to know I've been checking out this site since the summer it blew onto our beloved interrnet but didn't make an account until the forums got more interesting and had more members. DUH!

Dude, who gave you the right to call ryan "mr. davis"? I just find it amusing you are all discussing the psyche of a person you don't even know, will most likely never meet and doesn't even know who you are, who ultimately cares? You should just come here for entertainment

Man, did anyone think Ryan was really old when he mentioned Fox Kids? It's 4KidsTV, old man!
 
Also, I really miss when this was, like, TV-based, rather than a generic brawler.

This confirms my fears that the Giant Bomb community has become fairly shitty.
