I live in South Korea and saw this game for sale (Japanese import) for $100 yesterday... had to pass. Will wait for the larger release in January. Wouldn't mind picking up the demo though, the game looks pretty tight.

EDIT: Just tried the link and gave me an error: only available for USA and Canada residents. Obviously recognizing my IP as from Korea. Guess I'm out in the cold on this one. :shrug:

The demo has been on Japanese PSN for like three weeks.

I like it... but it's got one hell of a learning curve.
 
Not till i believe the 15th then i will know if i got a code or not. The thing to get a key didn't open till about 11 am eastern time. I was at lunch using the shipping area's computer checked and bam it was their lol

I had been checking every hour since 12 am midnight that day lol. setting my alarm can't help it i'm a sucker for beta's and early demos lol.
 
Did you get the demo, rumbl3? Impressions or opinions? Like rainless mentioned, looks like the learning curve could be quite steep.

I'm pretty sure once you learn the particularly complicated control scheme... it's probably a hell of a lot of fun.

Hell, I think it would've been easier to play as a Wii game.

It's similar to No More Heroes in a lot of ways... it kinda plays like No More Heroes without a Wiimote.
 
Yeah shes got two handguns one on each leg and two in her hands? Isn't she supposed to be a "bullet witch" or something lol Don't know to much about the game i just seen that Famitsū rated it perfect score on 360, not that they are the final word but i'm guessing i can count that as it's a really good game lol.

That sounds about right. HERE is some info about the game itself.

After watching some gameplay footy on YouTube, looks like the combat may be similar in style to God of War... not such a bad thing imo.

EDIT: A LOT of comparison to Devil May Cry series floating around this game, which makes sense due to the connection with Hideki Kamiya. Never played any of them, so that comparison doesn't really mean anything to me :/

Glad to hear that its living up to some of the previews that I've read online. Screens and footy look amazing. Glad that it plays as well as it looks. Will definitely have to snag the demo when its out on general release. Sorry that I missed that chance for a demo code from you rumbl3, can wait a couple weeks 'til the general release anyways.
 
Well I got to play the demo some on the 360....it's definitely a fast moving game. Game pace wise it feels like it should be a button masher but there is a combat system and you can tell that the crazy moves she's doing are related to your input. The graphics on the 360 version are awesome! And butter smooth framerates....but there's so much going on and the camera is pulled back enough you don't really notice the detail except in the particle effects and cut scenes. If your a fan of 3rd person beat 'em up's you'll like this game.
