" I really like the look of this game, I think it would be great to play drunk at a party. "

Also, why had Ryan to leave so quickly at the end? I was actually interested to see more of this game. I think I would pick it up once it hits 10 bucks.

The comic style reminds me of those flimsy little booklets you'd get with He-Man figures.

I fully expected Marcus to yell out 'HEY SON' at the start of the match.

After Hunter The Reckoning, The Conduit,  and Tournament of War Gods,  I am calling it: High Voltage is the  LJN of this generation. You see their logo, and you are right to assume the game is shit.

 So many quotes...
 
"What? How do I know what's happening?" 
"We're fighting." 
"Oh, okay." 
 
"I hit A button and... shit happens." 
  
"That sounds like a lady's name."
"BUUUURN!" 
 
"He just kissed his own bicep, and now he's doing a bit of a dance..."

This looks really awful, but I kind of like the idea of a slower paced fighter. But, you know, a good one.

That looked kind of fun in a silly way. I agree with the other commenter who said that this would be fun after a few beers at a party.

Seems like the controls are the biggest problem, which is the case with most Wii games anyway. If this were on XBLA or something, I would give this a try.

Yeah. It hasn't changed since the NES days. It might need to be updated, since pirated games are no longer being sold on store shelves along with the real ones.

they should have made this as a dungeon crawler where you hack and slash your way through stories of different mythologies. Not saying its a good idea but still better than this.

I had to stop watching the QL for a while as I couldn't concentrate from racking my brain trying to remember every game I'd ever played to figure out where I'd heard her voice before.  
It appears I really needn't have thought that hard as apparently she ( Lani Minella) has voiced around 500 games.   Eat your heart out Nolan!
 
At least now I can sleep easy.

I love Ryan and Vinny's Quick Looks of garbage Wii shovelware. Almost makes me want to play these games because of inside jokes...but I'm smarter than that. I think.

Actually, no, it doesn't. In 2004 or 2005 (I forget) it changed from that "Official Nintendo Seal of Approval" to just "Official Nintendo Seal." They don't flag anything, as long as it theoretically runs on their console.
 
That's why, versus the PS3 and 360, the Wii has so much garbage. For every "Hour of Victory" on the 360, there's about 60 games you've probably never heard of and may not even be on this site on the Wii. Stuff you see at ShopKo or Walgreens but nowhere else.
