Lollipop Chainsaw (new Suda game!)

[noiseredux]

I wants! I am about to beat NMH 2 after putting it off and LOVE it! I'm in a Suda 51 mood and plan on picking this around launch. Hey Noise, have you played NMH series?

yeah, the first game was re-released for PS3 in 2011 and I love it.

My gosh, the sequel improves on the original in almost every way possible; better jobs, more bosses, more moves, no traveling on motorcycle, and supports the classic controller!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... dition=new only $15 new!

My brother wants me to get NMH: heroes paradise if only to have some more Move compatible games

[noiseredux]

yeah. I hope they port it NMH2 to PS3 as well.

Hmmm I'm not so sure about that. The sequel is definitely good. I played it before I played the first one. But, it feels really forced. It's not as funny and doesn't feel as original. Suda himself said he was kind of against making it, and intended NHM to be a one shot go. The side jobs are definitely cooler though, and more moves/weapons was a nice touch. I would argue that the OST is better as well. NHM 2 is worth a play for sure but I can't help but feel like the original would have held more weight if they didn't sequel-ize it.

NHM 2 spoilers (kinda, avoided direct spoilers)

The Travis/Henry relationship is my biggest gripe. That whole dynamic was so amazing in the first game, and after playing the first game and seeing what the relationship between them was meant to convey to the player, I feel like NHM 2 ruined it. Really regret playing NHM 2 first to be honest, but don't regret playing it overall.

Loved NMH series, rented an Onechenbara game and liked it, so I'll definitely give this game a go.

I too did not enjoy NMH2 as much as the first game. The first game came out of nowhere, was amazingly fresh and showed that amazing hardcore games could be done on the Wii.

The second one felt way too forced. Like Suda wasn't enjoying himself with it. Not even the amazing characters were as much fun as they were in the first game (for some reason, sex was a much more appropriate motive for Travis than revenge )

Then again

there's nothing quite like the giant mecha boss fight parodying mecha anime

Anyway, this game looks too much fun to pass. Hopefully it will be way more Suda than SotD which I gave a pass after hearing people saying it doesn't feel like a Suda game.

As previously detailed, the Japanese version of Grasshopper Manufacture's new action title will be offered in standard and Premium Edition packages. The standard version tones down the content enough for a D CERO rating. Premium Edition has a Z rating (the same rating that games like Grand Theft Auto get), with selectable gore/violence levels.

The Premium Edition also allows you to switch between Japanese and English voices and includes exclusive costumes.

Kadokawa is readying three different package designs for the game. PS3 and Xbox 360 share the same packaging for the standard version, but have different box art for the Premium Edition.

Yeah dude haha, that was probably my favorite boss fight. I was laughing the entire time.

How exactly do you pick someone when it seems like anyone who is blond and hot should qualify? Are there other judging criteria I'm not aware of?
