Anyone gotten this one? It's an oddly out of place, yet perfectly fitting Wii-game: A base, vulgar, glorious celebration of kung-fu violence, blood, guts, and massive amounts of swearing.
It's like somebody dropped a lot of acid and made a bastard child out of Grand Theft Auto, Kill Bill, and Afro Samurai.
The game itself is oddly flawed--it has some truly bland open-world segments in-between the relatively similar stages (where you basically have to kill a wave of enemies until doors unlock, though they have made a point of having something new and different occur in each stage.)
The game's biggest appeal is the amazingly amazing boss fights--there are a bunch of assassins who form the crux of the game's plot, and you must kill them in order to become number one. The first couple are relatively easy--just intense and fun, but once their patterns are memorized, there's not much challenge.
I just beat the third boss, though, and holy FUCK did they amp up the difficulty. She has a pattern, sure, but the basic strategy is just to dodge constantly to break into her block--which can be hard when you get too deep into a combo and are struck by her counter-attack. But the REALLY obnoxious thing is that she has a fucking instant kill move where she hits you with a charged attack and then proceeds to cut you into sushi.
Oh, you fight her in an empty storehouse next to a highschool.
And she's wearing a school girl outfit.
Aaaand she kills a bunch of unarmed people tied to chairs.
aaaand to charge your weapon, you have to jerk off your Wiimote.
The game is super sweet. ^_^
