Splatterhouse does deserve more attention though.
Isn't that the very special game dev underground club site?
Over the top stylized action game with a sexualized protagonist.
How do you not understand that comparison?

Picked it up on my break from GS. Funny, they had received 8 copies, three of which were pre orders and I still managed to grab the final one. The manager also hooked me up with the pre order costume codes so the first to PM me gets them.

I've lost the thread on Splatterhouse, wasn't it supposed to be developed by the Mark of Kri team? I was super excited because of that but I hadn't seen any news about it since and the game came and went with no fanfare.Aside some serious bs on Splatterhouse (but yeah, it's me now, since I loved it

Yeah.. still haven't played Splatterhouse... while I still want those Splatterhouse shoes they made before the release of the game:
They're horrible, in a good way!
I am definitely going to pick up Lollipop chainsaw no matter what some reviewer says. The game looks like loads of fun to me.
I liked Bayonetta, these quirky games always get a day one purchase from me. When I say Bayo I am talking about the actual gameplay not the icing on the surface.

Hahaha, I clicked on the link, saw Tom Chick, and all became clear.
Also, I hate how metacritic translates his one star review into a score of 20. That's not how math works, metacritic.
Splatterhouse's development turned out to be kinda troubled... But the game imo was one of the best reboot/remake of the gen, such a truly brilliant 'modern' take over the formula of the classic brawlers.
In that review, Splatterhouse is called 'shallow' and - yeah, I'm no mothertongue english speaking but... - isn't it meant to be negative? As in 'weak', or inconsistent?
That was my gripe.

"Eww, Jim Sterling, fat internet troll don't listen to hi-oh, he gave it a 9/10! Great review!"
"Eww, 2/10, who's it from? LOL Tom Chick, that guy stinks. Useless review."

Even Wal-Mart has the costumes insert. Not gonna complain though~
It's a hack and slash with replay value in a humorous style and parody or reference to a few different shows and movies as made by people who created other games people like.
Also something about art style, over the topness, and music for some.

Very weird. I'm really wondering if that was their way to troll retailers, and make sure all people who bought the game at launch get all the costumes they want.
If you read Chicks review it sounds like he looked at some press footage and wrote it.

The card doesn't have Ash.
So the Ash costume is really the only retailer specific one, then? >_>

NOPE! Just bought the game from Best Buy and got zero codes. Even the exclusive Best Buy costume was not there.

So fun story: I went by Best-Buy during my Lunch break to try and confirm this. The guy at customer service didn't even ask me for any proof lol. He just rang it up as $44.99 and that was it. I honestly felt like I could have told him any price and he would have done it. Obviously though very ymmv as Best Buy isn't supposed to match online-only prices.

I'm assuming this DLC code thing is only happening in Canada? This is the impression i have gotten.

YMMV indeed. I had major problems price-matching at Best Buy in the past. They usually will not price match internet prices also the store you price match from must have stock on hand.

The writing in this game is so good.

Got my amazon order. No codes. Betting they'll email it like they did with Dragons Dogma.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is Yamaoka's best soundtrack since Shin Contra. Some really great riffs.
No codes, also a very thin instruction booklet, might as well not have included it.

How do you answer the phone when the prompt comes up?
I saw the tutorial for it, but it didn't say how (answered automatically) and when it came up the second time I couldn't figure it out.

Hi Guys, I love this game.
If Shadow of The Damned's score didn't exist, you'd be right.
EDIT: So I guess no one got their outfit code from amazon?

This. It never tells you the button in the tutorial nor in the in game controls!

I started on Hard mode since I'm a masochist and had a pretty rough time at first. The camera isn't as bad as I thought it'd be(I know it'll piss off some people though). I thought the combat wasn't too fluid at first, there's a pause between cheerleader moves and the chainsaw ones and you can't really use one without the other (especially on Hard mode) since the former renders enemies groggy and thus easy to kill with a chainsaw.
The escape button wasn't really impressing me either since it looked like a simple jump button that didn't seem to cover much ground. But then you find out that you can keep a good momentum by using Circle and another attack button to keep attacking and render yourself less vulnerable and it allows you to pseudo link Square attacks into Triangle ones.
Love the artstyle and the voice acting so far.

It seems that only Canada got all the costumes packed in. Oh well.
