Got this at the local Gamestop. The clerk didn't know what I was talking about and they didn't have it on display, so he was like WELL, SIR, I'LL CHECK IN THE BACK I GUESS. He came out with a copy and said that it was the only one they were shipped. Christ.

Anyway, this game is really good, but more of a 'cult good' than a really 'good good'. Like how Illbleed is 'good' if you know what you're getting into.

It's averaging a 9 on critic reviews (and even got over a 9 at Gamespot, who hate the Wii almost as much as Zomboid), but IGN gave it a 7.8 with the reasoning 'this game is great, but there is 'pop-in' and other technical issues with the free-roaming map but srsly your team didn't pay us nearly enough money to rank this higher'. The same game without all the style this one has would probably rank about a 6 or 7. Hope you like style! The dialogue is corny and fantastic, and so far all the characters have tons of personality.

You can also go shopping for clothes and stuff, but honestly Travis's default outfit is great and the options (so far) are just palette swaps.

How much does it go for? I might get a few extra if it ends up achieving cult status.

in the first 10 seconds, you crash a motorcycle, then strike an extreme pose and shout "FUCKHEAD!" while everyone's heads pop off and blood spews everywhere.

It really sets the mood.

It's one of those games that will give you plenty of reasons to hate it if you're looking for them, but all the bad shit just fades into the background if you come in with a neutral or positive bias.

That's not really fair, though; it's the kind of game you have to see as a whole before you can really appreciate it. The extreme lack of polish really offset me at first, and the combat system isn't something you can just pick up.

Without the personality this game has, I don't know if it would have a leg to stand on. It's like a 3D beat-'em-up to me and as much as I love the genre, it gets dull real quickly. It's a credit to the game that the style is so integral to the gameplay, but I don't think I'd like it so much if I rounded a corner and didn't kill nine men in a row with a single baseball.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a really good game and all, but to say it transcends consciousness is a pretty hefty claim.

Through the many complex opinions I've gotten on the game, the one thing I gather is that it's worth the price of admission. Tell me if I'm wrong.

The link Codiekitty posted reminded me that I haven't played Dungeon Keeper for ten years, I'm going to fix that.
