Saw some of the cutscenes and I love the sense of humor this game has. I don't think it's worth 60 bucks, but I may pick it up when it hits the bargain bin. Dad is awesome.
Ah, now I know why I like this game. It reminds me of Godhand.
How so? Your answer will determine whether I check this game out or not.
I've been getting that Godhand vibe too. Unlocking combos, the humor, the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously, pretty cool soundtrack...

Whelp...beat the game and my mind is just full of fuck and stars after that final stage.
Boss 1 - Love MSI and really set the tone for the rest of the game
Boss 2 - SO fucking metal
Boss 3 - Really the worst of the bunch
Boss 4 - Over so fast I had to think if it really was it. Still a neat fight even for the set dressing
Boss 5 - Almost felt like some Rob Zombie needed to play for this fight.
Boss 6 - I...Words can't describe
Also this might be one of the best game soundtracks to date. All the songs fight so very perfectly.
Keep in mind that there is no actual special edition for this game
I love this video, and love what I've seen of the game. Sounds like those of you who've played it love it.
I'm a bad person for waiting for bargain bin aren't I?
Keep an eye on cheapassgamer.com and hit it up when a store has a really good deal. Best Buy will pretty much price match any brick and mortar store in your area. If you have a fry's electronics they'll price match any Internet retailer.
Beat the game last night. Game goes from poo at the beginning to awesome by the end when you have some decent combat abilities. I liked how the final boss's influences were all these awful things like rape and genocide, his one musical influence?

pffft ha!
Got the "sad" ending, I'm wondering if you have to obtain all the collectables or beat the game on very hard to unlock the happy ending. I'm also wondering if lollipop wrapper and named zombie spawns are tied to the difficulty levels. I think they might be, but when I replayed the prologue and the school, there were two named zombies I hadn't collected before and I hadn't bumped up the difficulty. I'd rather not bump it up if I don't have too...
There's a bunch of costumes available for purchase when you beat the game too. Picked up the "Sexy Seashell Bikini" and the loading screen told me "Playing the game in that costume is scandalous! You pervert!"
Edit: Ah, to get the good ending, you have to save all your classmates throughout the game. Have to play on hard to obtain all the lollipop wrappers though. I think you can play any difficulty you want for the named zombies, but some of them only show up in ranked mode. Also, the stores in ranked mode turn into creepy murderous chicken mascots...
Uhg I know I already let two die in the school. Can I go back and replay that level and save them on that time to get the ending?
Yeah, you can go back and replay levels to save the students you missed. Apparently I saved everyone but one student in stage five... oy -_- Also, you don't have to "re-save" students you've already saved.
Also also, the only similarity this game has to Onechanbara is that Juliet has a couple bikinis she can wear, and there's zombies. I don't know how you take a concept like Onechanbara and make it one of the most unfun things to play ever, but the Japanese found a way!
That stupid gondola game in stage 4 is driving me mad! How the fuck are you supposed to do that without firing?! Also, collecting all the medals on the rooftops in stage 2 while chainsaw dashing appears to be impossible.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

It's still just $45 on Amazon. How much cheaper do you want a brand new game to be?
Yeah, so... I'm actually way happier with this game than I thought it would be. Once you unlock all the combat moves, crowd-controlling zombies to get a seven-in-one-blow decapitation is seriously satisfying, and you really feel like "ohhh this is how the game is meant to be played." And then Juliet's just dancing around the stages, bopbopbopping zeds, cancelling move strings with jump, gliding into position and bopbopbopbrumm!wham with the chainsaw.
I can't say enough positive stuff about the writing, and the music, the creativity, the art direction that does a great job of making you forget how cheap-looking the game otherwise is...

The beat-em-up style, retro throwbacks like coins sparkles and power-ups, the crazy characters, humor, the general sense of, "Yes, this is a video game and we're gonna go crazy with it until you have FUN" attitude.
The combat doesn't seem to have the depth or custom combos of Godhand, but it sure seems like it was cut from the same cloth.
While not really in the same world, the mechanics are really similar as is the sense of humor/dialogue. Its pretty much NMH without the part time jobs or overworld, levels just flow from one to the next. Combat felt better from what I recall in NMHs, especially once you start unlocking more combo attacks.
Pretty much the only bad thing i can say about this game is that it has a poopy camera sometimes. That and the boss battles are kind of "meh". Everything else is just wonderful, though.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
So I just got the game today. I hope I enjoy it, because I was promising myself I'd wait until it bumps down in price, but I caved. I always cave.

Just wanted to chime in and say this game is fun. I had a couple issues with the combat in the prologue, but once I figured that out, it became much more enjoyable. I'm having a great time with this game.

"fuckin' giant letter bullshit!" made me LOL IRL for significantly longer than it should have. Nick's dialogue, and the voice-work across the board, is excellent.
So, question. Does this game have more than one character/weapon/playstyle in general, or is it just the one?
Either way, seriously considering grabbing a copy.

It's only Juliet with the chainsaw, but you unlock enough moves to keep it interesting. I wish you could skip some of the cutscenes and tutorial garbage once you beat it, though. I would also like the shop to be available outside of the levels, but I'm mainly buying up combos and powerups at this point so it's not too bad.

I got very bored of No More Heroes: loved the boss batttles, combat felt a little...janky to me at times, HATED the overworld, didn't really like the plot, didn't much like the crazy "dark side" (or whatever) moves, I'm not against 'crazy' it's just something about them didn't sit right with me.
This game, however, looks hysterical and a bit more polished than NMH. So, to get to the point, has anyone picked this up that disliked No More Heroes and thoroughly enjoyed it?

The combat is similarly not-great, but there's no overworld, and no "jobs" for you to do. Your job in this game is killing zombies. It has a much better sense of humor than No More Heroes, and oh yeah, the main character isn't a completely insufferable cunt.
Man fuck that gondola minigame. I died -37- TIMES on that damn thing.
Aside from that, fun game. The dialogue was easily the best part, and the game was solid. Doubt I'll replay it or anything, but still a fun game.
Really? I died twice, and only because I was going for the achievement for no shooting. I said fuck it and just started blasting everything to get through it.

The gondola thing only sucks when you're trying to get through it without shooting (which is impossible). Other than that, you can just blast the hell out of everything. This includes the guys in the windows throwing plants and shit at you.

Even though I got the bad ending
I did it on Easy the first run through, but your moves and unlockables carry over, so I started a second game on Hard just now

can't tell if serious
I was super skeptical at first, maybe just in a bad mood for the first 2 levels. I played the third and the charm of the game alone sold me.

Really fun stuff, soundtrack was fantastic and it was funny throughout.
Not sure how much more I'll play for achievements, but definitely glad I picked it up.
