I just want to swing forever~♥. | * The Blueberry Hill: I'm really enjoying swinging about in multiplayer, to the point where I wish there was a racing mode with no guns.

| * Felix: The physics (particularly on the weapons) feel totally one of a kind, the game has really nice colours, the game encourages you to diversify your weapons in order to level up, and getting all up in the level geometry is just terrific (when the game allows you to do it, which isn't always). The production is all over the place (not atypical of big studios contracting smaller devs with cashflow issues right around the era when Japanese companies were finally starting to get the hang of PS3-gen development) and I think that's where the game's negative impressions come from. | * Felix: The physics (particularly on the weapons) feel totally one of a kind, the game has really nice colours, the game encourages you to diversify your weapons in order to level up, and getting all up in the level geometry is just terrific (when the game allows you to do it, which isn't always).

| + | * nickperson: There's nothing else quite like it. If you're not feeling it by the time you get through the Ancient Hospital, it might just not be your kind of game. It absolutely does not reward you for spending a lot of time exploring, talking to NPCs, doing side quests, etc, so try and blow through it as quickly as possible and don't let it overstay its welcome. And for the love of god, set the voice track to Japanese. | ||

In the game though the //Bullet Witch// cartwheeled between two flaming buses that were being hurdled at her by a [[character:hover_brain|floating brain]]. She then proceeded to unleash a tornado that tore down the nearby buildings and sucked up the brain. That wasn't a cutscene either! | * Rudie: I have no clue what drobe is talking about up there!

| + | * nickperson: Legendary game. The level design will expand your brain (horizontally?) and the setpieces are as carefully crafted and abundant as in any classic 16-bit game. The thing that pushes it completely over the top is the jaw-droppingly hilarious, endearingly idiosyncratic physics engine. | ||

| *P1d40n3 : It's //MW//! A crunchy and well-paced campaign, enjoyable multiplayer...what's not to love? Consensus puts the best difficulty at Hardened; Veteran degenerates into memorization of enemy placement (no Halo style dynamic combat here; one mistake is death), and everything else is far to easy. That being said, Mile High Club (Epilogue mission) on Veteran is the providence of the Elite, and almost worth the price of admission.

| + | * nickperson: I liked this one a lot more than //Earth Defense Force 2025//. There's no Havoc physics, no individual human bodies getting gored by ant mandibles, no innocent bystanders screaming actual words. Witness the screen filled with bug juice, frame rate in the single digits, and feel the power of true love. | ||
