The trailer reminds me of the stuff I thought was hilarious in grade eight (no offense). I hate games marketed to audiences officially too young to buy them (it was terrible when cigarettes did the same thing, yeah?).

Terran: Ultra-violent entertainment is the symptom, not the cause. Only a matter of time before health care systems recognize our instability and start packaging Prozac and tranquilizers with games. Can’t wait:)

Wow. I wish people would just look at this fed up world. Rape and murder are at an all-time high, serial killers are treated as breakfast stories, and newspapers are filled with the killings.

And why do people do such? Most would think mental problems, maybe a fetish for blood?

I see a problem in recent video games and movies. Remember the good old SNES? Kids could get together and have a bit of classic fun.

Now we look at games in the 21st century. Games with excess shooting, killing, even raping. Blood and gore are a natural part of our lives these days. People think ‘Oh my GAWD! Can you believe what that women lets her CHILDREN play?’ when they themselves care naught for their own mental stability.

I do NOT see how mindless, brutal murder is enjoyable. It is sadistic and cruel. I’m not some high and mighty priest of some god or such. Just a 15 year old caucasian male who’s sick of this world.

I say go to hell. This place has turned into a hellhole.

The Simpsons Arcade Game + Pandemonium / bad framerate + soulless graphics = fail?

It’s like a 3D castle crashers.

I wish this was just a reskin of the Xbox Ninja Gaiden. I would play that game.

That opening scene genuinely unsettled me.

@Scandalon

By Capcom in particular, the best are probably Alien vs Predator, the two Dungeons & Dragons games (Tower of Doom and Shadow Over Mystara, I believe), Armored Warriors, and Battle Circuit. Those all in particular have quite complex fighting systems and oodles of charm, and stand up very well to multiple replays.

Also, if you can find it, Guardian Heroes for the Saturn is just in a league of its own. It also emulates perfectly via the emulator SSF, so long as you have some sort of dual-core processor.

Wait, are you people saying there were some good, co-op brawlers I missed? After FinalFight, Streets of Rage and a couple others (there was one where you could pick up lamp-posts, backflip off walls, etc) I never really saw another…
