I haven't even bought Rising yet, and the thought of a Rising 2 gets me excited. All of my money Platinum.

Listen to this music.
The first kind of action scenario that pops into your head is likely to be an exact replication of the entire game starting from the first ten minutes, and it gets better.
Really? I would never describe Zelda or Heavy Rain as an action game.
But as the other poster mentioned: Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, or Bayonetta would be the most appropriate comparisons.

You sure are.
Nah, keep the ratio as it is. Let Kojima work on Ground Zeroes and MGS 5.

Great news! Now work on Rising 2! Now if only DMC gets this kind of treatment... Doubt the series will get a second chance now. :/

I am extremely happy this game is doing well. I was nervous for them at first, but man did they really do a damn good job with the limited time they had.

This makes me happy. I finished this yesterday and it's an amazing game. Arguably my favorite hack and slash of the generation. (Bayonetta
Thanks, now I gotta start my third playthrough. This time on Revengeance difficulty.
If you like weird ass stories then this is CHEESETASTIC! *thumbs up*
This is the two best friends play and it gives a good impression of the game.
This shit is weirder that the weirdest Metal Gear stories..
No its needs more batshit crazy like the last chapter and end boss section of the game. Kojima left Rising in other peoples hands so he could concentrate on other things no point dragging him back for sequel

Story is generally awful, but in a good way.
Lots, and I mean LOTS of optional codec calls. They contain some really cool info and references to older games. Sometimes they drag on though.
All in all, you should buy it for the amazing gameplay more than anything.
Isn't that like super spoilerish?

Excellent excellent game. Glad it's selling well. I still want skull suit and mask Raiden from MGS2, guys.

No, you're going to rike it.
If I recall correctly, the majority of the story was done by KojiPro, so it still has that distinctly Metal Gear flavor to it, but with more absurdity. One scene in particular from the third mission is absolutely outrageous way that you're not sure if it was a Platinum or KojiPro call. It's got the codec conversations and there is plenty of philosophical dialogue throughout, so if that's the part of Metal Gear you love, it's all there waiting for you.
Well, that's true. I was just being sarcastic.
He said "non-spoiler", as epic as this trailer is, it has MAJOR SPOILERS in it.

Great to hear. I wonder if Rising came out before Vanquish and Bayonetta would they have sold better ?

Yeah, the Kojima trailer basically shows everything in the entire game. Not what you want if you haven't played it yet.
This game is already a classic. It deserves all the success it enjoys and more.

I might be annoying people by bring this in this up in every thread but I think its worth reminding people that this game was built from the ground up in Platinums engine in
Less than one year.
In some ways that makes Rising their greatest achievement.
Yeah Id go for that too. Don't want P* ego to get any bigger. Gaf seems to think they can do anything

It seems closest to a mix between Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta in terms of the gameplay system but it's a pretty unique action game (which is why I'm struggling to think of anything it's comparable to). You really should try the demo if you aven't been convinced by the huge praise surrounding it or, better yet, just go out and buy it right now and experience the amazingness yourself.
EDIT: Oh and one thing I'd say is that the story, I feel (others seem to think the exact opposite so take this as you will) is a parody of Metal Gear Solid games in many respects. If you're buying it, do it for the incredible combat system and huge amount of combat (keeping in mind that it is a short game). I was hugely hyped for the game before release and I was expecting to be disappointed but I can confidently say that it has surpassed every one of my expectations (particularly in the game's pacing). The only caveat is that it is a short game in a single playthrough but there is such a large amount of content in the form of collectibles, upgrades, new game plus and the ranking system that, I feel, it's negligible.
Anyway, I'm glad to see this selling so well. Hopefully it increases awareness of Platinum as a studio and provides them more leeway with publishers. I really do think Sega should release a cheap Vanquish-Bayonetta bundle in a few months to take advantage of the buzz praise surrounding Metal Gear Rising (emphasising that Platinum is the creator of it, if possible).
