That's the really interesting thing about the whole presentation of the game: it comes off as avant-garde in graphics while going for your most base animal instincts in gameplay. And the coarseness also bleeds into the dialogue, as the whole level we played was commentated like a televised sports event, only the announcers reveled in the hideous acts of violence. They also shocked us with really, really explicit dialogue between the two guys. By the way, we’re 99.99999% sure we know the voices of the profanely funny announcers, one of which was Jon Dimagio, the voice of Bender (Futurama) and Marcus Fenix (Gears).
That's about when our time with it came to an end, which was too bad. We were getting pretty interested in seeing as many different slow motion kills as possible, and they don't look to be in short supply. We do wonder about the length of the game - which we were told had at least 10 different areas – but this really stands head and shoulders above the Wii crowd, though that might be due to it decapitating the rest of that crowd. March is when we get hope see this promise fulfilled.
