Quote:
Players navigate the open world metropolis Sunset City in 2027. The dystopian world is controlled by the corporation FizzCo. The player character, whose gender, skin tone and body type can be customized, is a FizzCo employee, tasked with cleaning up the mess left behind from a party FizzCo has thrown in celebration of the launch of their new energy drink, Overcharge Delirium XT. Players fight the OD'd humans who have mutated from drinking too much of the energy drink.
The game focuses on "agile combat", including wall running, zip-lines, and acrobatics. Players use grind rails to deftly navigate city streets. On-foot, players cannot run or take cover, but instead must rely on agility to survive. Players can carry up to eight weapons at once, including the standard assault rifle AK-Fuckyouup, and the TNTeddy grenade launcher that fires teddy bears strapped to sticks of dynamite. All weapons eventually run out of ammunition, but do not need to be reloaded while being used. Players unlock more weapons by progressing through the story or purchasing them from shops. Weapons can be upgraded by applying "Amps" that increase their lethality. The Style Meter in the head-up display (HUD) increases as players perform stylish moves like pulling off headshots and grinding on-rails without touching the ground.
In the online co-op mode Chaos Squad, up to eight players defend vats of Overcharge Delirium XT from waves of OD'd. Although they work together, players also try to earn more Style points during play than their co-op partners.
It looks bright and colourful but I can't say much more about it. I don't get the interest in this game, it looks like something you would play for a bit and then get bored. The things that look entertaining will just become stale as I just don't see the lasting story/gameplay (IMO)
it just looks like something I would get bored of quickly. it would be fun for an hour or so and then I'd get over it, but then I felt the same with dead rising.
Just played it , it's insane Im pleasantly surprised and I was pretty sceptic when they announced it ..looks gorgeous , I love the style , colors and lighting..so nice to look at. I still got to used to constantly moving around..game simply doesn't stop. Ppl who loved silly humour in Saints Row gonna enjoy it in this one too.. So far game holds me..
It's free for 24hrs starting Saturday but I don't think I even want to play this crap for free.
wut
Is this some subscriber privilege or something? More than the standard XBL Gold stuff? A less-than-half-dedicated gamer could finish this in less than 20 hours.. they've effectively just given the game away in its first month!?
