guys it dont matter if this shit doesn't sell, cause like no more heroes, once you pick up the controller and play, it'll feel like you're taking cocaine every day! Suda's games are like that, might not sell for shit but are fun as hell!

Well, in that case I'm buying it... xD

The game looks promising anyhow and the story and setting kind of reminds of
Dante's Inferno in more modern times with a comedy type of feel that may twist
around and have some drama along.

Gamespot Preview

That seems like an amalgamation of Robert Rodriguez and...uhh...even more insanity. Seriously, what the hell can you compare this to?

Jesus, I just hope the game's long enough. That's one reason I still haven't picked up Vanquish for its relatively deflated price. I'll wait for it to hit $20.

It'll be interesting to see what does better, this or Alice. Both EA published games, both horror orientated, both being released within a week of each other and both going up against Duke and his over-hyped mass of nostalgia. Personally for me Alice wins hands down, Shadows just looks like DMC with the pre-teen appeal jacked up a thousand points.

This game is pretty much Dante's Divine Comedy + Machete LOL. Not saying it's not awesome though.

Oh my god. I've been playing for only about two hours now, and I just started Act 3, and I gotta say I love it so far. You can hear Yamaoka's musical influence almost immediately, and you can see Suda's humor right off the bat. And I'm sure Mikami had a little to do with this tiny spoiler in Act 2-3:

In the graveyard, where you see the giant bloody X in the middle, you hear Johnson say "Who did this? Mr. X?"

I lol'd.
