I used to love beat-em-ups as a kid, but even at $20, I don't think I'd pick it up. I'd much rather play the games in the genre I loved as a kid. But if one of you guys picks it up and finds it to be worth the $20, I'd give it a try.

You're very correct in that, Mike. What the game looked like initially could have been great fun, a throwback to the awe-inspiring-yet-cheesy nature of Saturday Morning action cartoons of the 80's and 90's, but then they switched it up to something utterly unremarkable

 

The sad part is, they did so based on the tremendous negative reaction that their original idea got...

Yea. I had planned to buy this under its first incarnation -- but now under its second, I won't even drop $20 on it.

What it looks like here is that Capcom has a "camel" on its hands. In other words, a horse designed by committee.  Basically, it sounds like Capcom listed to the wrong people -- gamers who weren't going to buy this title because they play these type of games on other consoles -- instead of seeking the input from interested Wii gamers.

You got that right, mike

 

In its first incarnation, Bionicle Games told that they want to make a single character for each Wii periferal

You have a balance board? We have a character that uses that. Motion Plus? wii Zapper? Something for everyone.

 

"Gritty" internet posters came, cried out, made everything worse. We were left with a semi-dark brawler that feels like a PS1 game. There´s just nothing special in it.

Its a "game about nothing", but in a very very horrible way

i wouldnt pick it up even if it was $5 but then i hate beat em ups. Good for the people who like these kinds of games, lets just hope this doesnt make capcom turn away from Wii.

I was hoping for a Ratchet & Clank Clone (can't afford a PS3 yet to get more of the actual series), but as it is just doesn't interest me.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Nah, Resident Evil: Dead Space Chronicles will sell its million.

i've rented it..... it's a great game and has awesome graphics!

the reason it does not sell is that it does not use the Wii-remote in a smart way, it's like a usual Ps2 game with awesome graphics, which makes it a good game, but not a "must buy"

developers should have been a bit more creative on gameplay to make a more special game



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I might pick it up for $20 as I need a co-op game to play with my nephew for a couple of days next month and this seems like something he will enjoy.
He liked Castle Crashers, I dont expect this to be that awsome but how does it compare?

another bomba for the wii, shame for capcom, they're better of making games on the HD consoles. Will pick this up once its $9.99, because i trust this is a quality Capcom game.



Kenology on 19 October 2009

Ari_Gold... at it again! lol!

At least the games that Capcom puts time and effort in don't bomb.
