Sterling was going on about replay value and buying upgrades after your initial playthrough. Do we get a New Game +?

Is there a time limit in each stage that if drained can lead to a game over screen or does it only matter to end level scoring? For a first run Id want to explore for the collectables and rescue as many classmates (unless that alone is based on time)

Too late to get the Amazon costume?

Ok will be hunting down and buying on my lunch break.
Odd that there's a lack of trophies/cheevs for beating it on harder difficulties. And Im hearing Normal mode is way too easy...

oh snap! I guess it's Normal difficulty for play 1 then hard for the 2nd time then. Excellent

Yeah unless NG+ doesnt carry over for higher difficulties, only on the Normal mode you beat it on.
I need answers.

Amen sister.
Did Gamestop actually give you the display case with that horrible sticker on it?
Haha no this was me waiting in line. The guy was kind enough to include the ash preorder code and the inflatable chainsaw without me having preordered the game, though.
But 5 codes to redeem? Crud.

So ive heard reports that the game is only 4 hours long?
If so thats disappointing.

its between 5 and 6 and it's MEANT to be played over and over again so it should be more like 10-15.
Im gonna do my first run on hard and try to collect as much as I can in terms of wrappers, phone messages and rescuing classmates so it should take me a bit longer. 5 and 6 hour length seems fine for an arcadey brawler like this. Anything more and I'm afraid it would start to become too much.

at least you'll probably get it during the day. I have to wait until the end of my shift at 5, then fight rush hour traffic to my local Best Buy to pick it up. I'll be lucky to be playing it by 6:30 tonight. I plan on installing to 360 hard drive before playing as well, arrrrgh!
edit: and to add insult to injury, I'm not even sure I'll be receiving the preorder code from them. There's nothing on the preorder receipt about it

My copy shipped yesterday. The 4-5 hour game length means I actually might finish a game. Being married with a 3 year old means the long epic games go unfinished for months.

PS3 or 360? If they're PS3, I call dibs!
PS3, and you only get one, greedy! But pick one of the two and I'll PM you the code.

Its good to hear so many people are getting extra codes. The first time I didn't mind skin preorder bonuses in a long time and ironically all of you are still getting them free without pre-ordering.

Foxy funk for me! Thanks! Now all I need is the Ash costume, and happy I will be!
I'll take the other if it's not already gone.
Sucks that it comes out on Friday in Europe but hopefully shopto get it to me a day early.
It took me closer to six hours but yeah, like everyone else has said, the game is meant to be replayed. The first time is a ride to enjoy the sheer insanity and the others, assuming the harder difficulties do indeed change AI patterns, are for refining techniques, leaderboards, and unlocking everything.
also I repeatedly encountered a pretty weird bug with the PS3 version. A couple times every level you'll have to chainsaw your way through something to 'unlock' a new area. Almost every time I would do this, Juliet would lose the ability to move afterward. She would just stand there and the analog stick would do nothing. I would have to jump/cartwheel a bunch of times in order for her to regain proper movement.

If anyone is in toronto and can get to yonge and dundas at 12:00 I can get them 30 dollars off the game at ebgames. I have an extra 30$ off coupon for the game that I don't need.
If you have any 360 codes left I'd be your new best friend.
None! Though one of the GameStop codes, the Ash preorder one, is just taped onto the copies behind the counter. Zoom in with your phone and steal a code! No just kidding be good.
What am I to do with this inflatable chainsaw though..

i'm grabbing my copy shortly too. my wife has seen the trailers for it and loves the look of the game and wants to watch me play some tonight. she loves Slither and Michael Rooker and bewbs. she also thought Shadows of the Damned was hilarious from what she saw of me playing that.
I know, I know, I'm just bragging at this point.
Same here; but the $45 price tag means a lot, too. Game looks like something I'd enjoy (loved No More Heroes 1 and 2), but there's no way I'm paying $60 for it, esp. considering how fast prices drop these days.
I'm bored, need a game to play. Other than walking by this at PAX, I know nothing about the game. On my phone at the moment at the store.
Is the game really good? What would it compare to the most? Dead Rising is all I can think of at initial glance.
Edit: also, is it on sale b&m? all I see is the amazon deal.

Amazon has the "Rockabilly" costume, and they should be sending out codes anytime from today to two days from now.

No More Heroes I'd say...with rainbows and zombies

Getting older sucks doesn't it? Worst thing is I still buy games like when I was younger. I've got 30 some odd titles across various platforms that I've only played about 1-4 hours of and yet I still keep buying. My heart sunk last night when I saw that Best Buy had Downpour for $20. Bought that the first week and still haven't finished it :/
I thought the codes were retailer exclusive, but my copy came with a separate code, the Ash one, but also a card with 4 other costumes inside the game box.

Really? So you got ALL the costumes?
Here. Like mentioned earlier, the actual GameStop costume code (aka the only one I thought I'd be gettig) was just a small paper piece taped to the outside, but this insert has the others. Why does it come with amazon, bestbuy, and GameStop costumes? Oh well holla.
