looks like it's using the DW6/Gundam Musou engine.  can't wait to try it out.

Ive done the math on Gundam's Kills Achievements:

20 hours i've killed 27k or so gundams. First Achievement is 50,000. So at probably 30-40 hours of normal unfocused play ill hit 50,000. There's still the 100,000 Achievement. Now I like this game, but jesus.

Granted I can go ahead and take maxed out Heero and Wing Zero to the most populated fight and grind, but thats pretty guh. Plus I cant figure out how new skills are gained once you max pilot level.

the achievements are pretty ridiculous, so i just returned my rented copy and am going to play my ps3 import version for the hell of it.

I checked out the Japanese demo for the PS3 today.  It was pretty funny to see a bunch of European warriors speak in Japanese.  I couldn't figure out what the game was about and I didn't want to bother.  Graphics are pretty crappy, like most Koei games.  Everything is clean but it just looks like a high rez PS2 game.

Well I will get the ones I get from finishing everyones campaign, but god damn some of the official mode campaigns are hard. I've beaten I think all of the original mode campaigns for the people over there...cept maybe char.

Bladestorm is NOT a Musou game.  It's more of a strategy title along the lines of Kessen, from what I know about it.

I didn't like the Japanese PS3 demo back in July, and I doubt adding English will make me like it any more.

I had originally glazed this thread and ignored it cause I thought it was for PS3 only, but I just now noticed the demo was coming to 360 as well. Demos!

Well there's also some Looney Tunes game up as well. I'd rather have Simpsons.

The level they chose for the Simpsons demo wasn't the best one to go with. I already preordered it due to my wife's and my love of the Simpsons, and the fact that she'll play it with me in 2-player co-op, but a more straightforward level might have been a better choice.

Game is so awesome. I might actually buy this Dynasty Warriors-like game because its so cool to control all the different squads.
