This game rocks. No more Heroes > Smash Bros

found a copy at best buy and yea this game is fuck awesome so far. it would've been wayyyyyy better on some REAL hardware though. the jaggies are killing my eyes. a few things i like/dislike about it:
+ great style -- love the retro ui design and busy effects
+ non-intrusive waggle controls (a couple misfires here and there as usual though)
+ story is entertaining & funny
+ special attacks are awesome
+ grapple attacks are awesome
+ tons of collectibles (clothes, trading cards, weapons?)
+ bloody and gory as hell
+ fun fun fun
- lack of true widescreen support (black bars for the fucking LOSS)
- jaggies oh the jaggies
- framerate is ASS and inconsistent
- open world navigation is boring
- side missions are kinda meh
- load times
the game reminds me of a god hand + devil may cry + gta hybrid. well at least, it pulls some aspects from those games. technically it's nothing special, but the art style and ui design makes up for the graphical shortcomings. the game feels a bit unpolished as i've run into a couple huge bugs already (got my bike stuck once). overall, the fun factor makes you overlook a lot of the problems the game has. and as far as originality is concerned, it's one of the few unique titles on the wii, already better than the majority of crap on the system. definitely worth checking out if you're hungry for a decent wii title.
