I really like the art-style but the AI looks pretty bad. I don't really understand what you're supposed to do in this game either, are there levels? Is there a story? Sorry, haven't really followed any press releases for it.

 

 It's made by the makers of Okami so you can bet there's a good story but it hasn't been the focus of promoting this game.  Basically Terrorists or someone have turned Manhatten Island into a death sport TV show for unknown reasons and you're going in there to find out who and why - if you live long enough.

The AI is terrible but that's a design choice 'cause they want you to do a lot of imaginative killings.  The more imaginatively your can kill the person the more you score.   There's various 'mini-games' where you have to achieve specific tasks (like knocking so many people into a press to be crushed) and boss battles.

The designers are known for making top notch but unusual games like Okami and Viewtiful Joe.

While it appears like lots of mindless killing, I'm expecting a lot more depth than anyone would expect.
