Different, orginal, and classic - a perfect game!

Without a doubt, one of the best games I’ve played in the past few years, and pays great respect to those who have played them all.
Let’s talk about what the game does masterfully – it combines several dark elements together that have not been done so before. First, it takes the dark (horrific) story style of Rob Zombie movies, and combines it with the dark (lighting wise) art form of real people in a computer world, like the movie Sin City. Second, to lighten the mood, as was done in the past, the characters are over the top and somewhat silly in appearance. They also use 80’s rock and roll music for in game (as opposed to metal), which thrown all together makes a combination of arts you will find nowhere else… THIS IS AN ORIGINAL WORK OF ART… so of course some people hate it.
Next, it IS a challenge, just like the first games where. I remember throwing a PS2 controller across the room because of a Twisted Metal game… this version lives up to the name. But when you finish, you feel accomplished.
And if you didn’t finish... if sent it back because you couldn’t pass some “hard” level… there’s a new Kirby game that just came out for Wii – sounds right up your alley!
