Rampage shouldn't be in teams imo. If there's a glitch and three people end up doing the mashing then the two on the same team automatically loses. That caught me off guard tonight.

bad gameplay lol
You have to complete the entire campaign before you can play through the stages with any character.
I thought there was plenty of variety in the missions, between one on one fights, brawls, vehicle missions, gun missions, death ball or whatever it's called, tornadoes, krakens, etc.
I love how between missions the game just let's you go do whatever you want as things continue to get more insane. Its extremely "gamey" and awesome.
Man I almost got on the Giantbomb stream last night but the invites failed. I guess it's a NAT problem, haven't had to worry about that in so long since I haven't played a console game online since...I don't even remember.
Gonna have to call my ISP I guess since I have some locked-down VOIP router that nobody has ever heard of. I think the real reason I can't find matches is that nobody has the mode I want to play though, the 360 leaderboards for Mad Survival are nearly empty.
On a related note, holy hell at the 3xBar-Bot and 2x Max wave. The best I've managed to do is take out the Maxes and one Bot, and that was only once. The first time I encountered that our whole team was wiped by the Bar-Bots in about half a second.

It is just plain fun and easy to get into. Hope the pricing gets even more people to pick it up.
My only wish is that I had more time for it. Hope for more this weekend.

Is game really needs an options screen region select setting. JP disc owners in NA for example cannot create custom games in another region(like NA). So a NA player with a JP disc cannot create a NA room. Quick match also always defaults to JP region so that becomes useless.
Other than that i still love the game even though I suck. Are there any tutorials or combo guides out there? It seems like other players know something i dont lol

Oh wow all this time I wasn't aware region mattered

there's another one too, at least for some characters. I haven't tested it with everyone but if Jack and Douglas land their fully charged strong killer weapon within a certain range they get a little cutscene move.

When you're looking for a custom match, or looking to set up custom match, there's an option about which region you prefer. Pretty handy.
Practice combos in the practice mode. It displays a move list for each character and lights up as you do it.

I didnt know that. Thanks Serra!
Thats not entirely accurate. You cannot select the region you prefer when you set up a custom ranked match. It defaults to the disc region and you cannot change that hence my post.

How is this as a single player experience? Obviously it's a multiplayer game but my Internet occasionally decides to die.
How is the practice mode? Is single player only jack and Leo? How are the bots?
I might impulse this today off of the strenght oh revengence demo to give platinum more of my money.

There's a practice mode, a training room and you can play with bots yes. None of the achievements require online.
The singleplayer isn't that long but as I've said, it surprised me with how good it is. The demo had me thinking that it'd be super boring 'kill 50 trash mobs or this basic CPU opponent' all the time. It kept reminding me of God Hand although once you get the hang of the game it's super easy on Normal (especially as Leo). Plot's pretty simple but some of the characters are great, I want to hear Max tell old cop stories all day.
You primarily play as Jack and Leo in the campaign but there are frequent missions where you can use someone else (and I believe at least one where you HAVE to). Once you beat the game you can play any mission as whoever you want, I believe.
So yeah, most people would argue that this game isn't worth it without online but I feel I've gotten 30 bucks out of it despite barely touching the online. Although I love Mad Survival and I wish there were more co-op online modes.

So how do I get Leo's Red Side? I beat the story with both characters and got Jack's Red Side and I still don't have the Gargoyle. wut do?
Start a new campaign except play Leo's side first. Yep.
I suppose it won't be so bad since I wanted to play through on Hard anyways. And Leo is basically easy mode to begin with.

Thanks Retro.
Next week, I'm going to continue covering this game. Probably just tips on the characters, levels, and modes. It'll have to take a backseat to another project, depending on what happens, but I'd like to keep the ball rolling with this title.
After 3-4 hours it still feels like that to me personally. That said so many people in this thread seem to dig it so maybe try to rent or borrow it. It drives me nuts pubs aren't more flexible with price so I wanted to love this game so bad but I just don't.
The closest comparison would be dynasty warriors with random set pieces that are dumb in a bad way instead of dumb in a funny way, also lots of really poorly written puns and family guy style awful random for the sake of random humor.
Sending it back to gamefly today.

Can you skip cutscenes? Sure I tried everything but couldn't seem to do it.

Are you talking about the single player?
While it's not bad, the meat of the game is in multiplayer. Game is surprisingly deep and tech, good combat system. Beating up on the trash enemies in the campaign hub stages doesn't really represent the game at its best.
Doesn't seem like it the first time, anyway.
Beat the White stage 2. Really enjoying it. I quite like playing as Leo.
Trying to go online with it but unfortunately my ISP has picked this week to screw my internet up. Can't hold a steady connection to the PSN.
you can, press...uh...select? back? What's that button called on these newfangled systems again? Having a senior moment here.
I think you might need to have seen the cutscene once before skipping. Not sure. You can skip the talking head sequences too.

I couldn't disagree more with you, I think the singleplayer's utterly abysmal and it was really short sighted of Platinum to make players go through the campaign to unlock all the skills in multiplayer. I've only finished the shit side but "kill 50 trash mobs" and "beat basic CPU opponent" is exactly what it is, albeit with the occasional shitty turret/monster riding segment thrown in. The whole thing felt monotonous to me with the only somewhat challenging mission being the one where you unlock Douglas. On top of that the budget cut-scenes and god awful dialogue didn't make it any less painful for me.
With that said the multi-player alone makes the game well worth the price.
Is this your first brawler?

Nice argument.
The fact is it's boring as hell due to the lack of any threat, God Hand wouldn't have been considered a good brawler if it had been an easy game. Also the lack of variety of enemies feels lazy to me, splitting the campaign into 2 so they can use all the levels twice doesn't help with that, then locking the red chapters behind the order which the campaigns are finished so you need to complete them both again is ludicrous.
I think the single player's really bad even by the standards of a brawler.

No you need the DLC to play in the modes
Lame. Not gonna bother, then.

I don't like how the game is organized either, but it does the same sort of thing every modern action game does. It breaks up the game by requiring multiple plays to unlock everything, and has multiple difficulties which I feel compromises the balance of the game-- since it's up to the player to find the right difficulty, which is sort of a chore. I'm probably in the 0.0000001% minority here who would love for there to be just one difficulty mode (a really tough one, that would take weeks to beat something just a few hours long), one campaign, with all the characters selectable from the start in single player. I definitely like the game, but probably not enough to play through it more than once in single player, much less on multiple difficulty modes to try to find the "best" experience.
The way the stages are designed as hub worlds with missions made me think this would work great in a Smash Bros. game-- and it fits the style of the game since it's more of an arena brawler than a traditional beat-em-up-- but I think I was secretly hoping this game would be more like Spikeout than Power Stone. I guess it's sort of a mix of both.

I just finished White Stage 4 starting on the white side, and you do face Max in the end with Leo.
Now I unlocked it in stage select so that's good.
Just finished the game and one thing stuck out to me. Although the story wasn't great and the dialogue was completely forgettable. They way the cutscenes were shot and how the action played out in them was amazing. They played really fast a loose with angles and made some crazy cuts. Makes me so excited for Revengeance.
PlatinumgamesJP said that you can unlock things via MP alone if you want. Just keep leveling up.

That's my bad then. Just the unlock text for some of the upgrades have the specific requirement of killing 100 enemies in each of the campaign levels for both characters.

Just grabbed my copy from GAME today, wouldn't mind seeing Platinum take on the SoR franchise, although it would have to be a little slower then their recent games.
Looking forward to playing the story mode later!

Ya I hate it too. The game suddenly turns stupid once the players start hitting full rampage mode... which is usually toward the end of the clock.

Is this when you get electrocuted and the analog stick and buttons come up on the screen and start flashing? Because I havent figured out what to do when that comes up, so I just start mashing. I have no idea if it does anything though.
