um no Mr. Silly Assumptions. It's a good game with a lot of fan service but still pretty flawed in some areas.

Silly Assumptions?
All games have flaws in some areas.
I have never played a flawless game, have you?
I love the way objects/weapons can be used in juggles with your combos.
Huge RCR fan here, this is a worthy successor.

For what this game is a PSN/360 downloadable title it's among the best.
A definite 8.5 pushing 9 in my book as far as downloadable titles go.

 

[firehawk12]

Guh, this is local co-op only?

 

[Baha]

Guh, this is local co-op only?

Yes.

 

[KiNeSiS]

Guh, this is local co-op only?

Yep, everybody is hoping for a patch....

Yes, that was a silly asumption (err opinion justification?) I bolded in my previous post, as I started gaming with the 2600.

Yes all games have flaws, some of them could have been avoided in this title. It's not bad, but not the most enjoyable beat-em-up as others have already mentioned.

I like the game fan service, but its not enough for me.

and the lack of online doesn't help.

 

[donkey show]

Not to sound condescending or anything, but some of these bosses are a lot easier than you guys are putting yourselves through when you level up to get the weapon skill.

Finally beat the second stage skateboard wielding asshat last night. Fuuuuuuu it was hard. I needed a friend to co-op with me, and we barely just KOed him on our last legs.

His skateboard attack is pretty brutal. I still haven't figured out the block. I seem to just get hit anyway. Is there a way to break out of just getting repeatedly hit once an enemy's first hit connects?

Easy way to beat Lucas: Just grab one of the flood light stands a bit before and smash him into the corner. He'll never get a chance to hit you at all.

As for the last last boss, make sure you keep the wrench that's at the beginning of the stage. It will never break and does good damage at nice speeds. Smash accordingly.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

I'm not. It's the type of game where you have to be able to punch your friend in the arm.

 

[JoeFu]

I never used the wrench on the last boss, I always use the electric stick that the robot girls drop. It shocks him and you can just trap him in the corner and barely get hit.

 

[soultron]

Anyway, can you buy lives anywhere or do you have to beat it with 3?

Go to the shopping district, when you reach the underpass with the 2 cars that trigger !!!, there's a wall panel marked with a star. Go near it and it will open up into a blue void. Go into the void and it will be a shop. In there you can buy things like Ambrosia, Bionic Arm (GREAT for STR upgrade) and something that will give you an extra life. Just read the descriptions and you will know what I'm speaking of. It costs around $50.

 

[mrgone]

I don't think they'd patch local co-op out. It'd just be nice to be able to play with people who are not within the same state/province/territory (ie. punching distance)

 

[TimmiT]

I'm not. It's the type of game where you have to be able to punch your friend in the arm.

How about having both online and offline co-op?

 

[UnluckyKate]

The photographers are anoying me in the seond level. They are such a pain chaining you in the distance

 

[BobTheFork]

Honestly I don't think there are any flaws with the combat; I love it. It's practically choking on River City Ransom and once you stop trying to move while slamming the button, it's perfect.

 

[Burli]

GAAAAAH, I have a PS3 and a 360, would really prefer to have this on 360 but I'm not sure if I can wait 15 whole days - damnit!

 

[Crisis]

The only thing I would change is to let the player get up faster. That's it.

 

[The Elite]

Yeah, that's my only gripe. Now that I've leveled Scott to near max stats, I never really get knocked down.

 

[BobTheFork]

Yeah getting up is slow but once you can air-save it's not much an issue to me.

 

[The Elite]

The air save is a huge bonus! Love it.

 

[VeryGooster]

I wonder if I can pretty much head-stomp my way through the rest of this game. :lol

Spam circle or B once you learn to parry.

You can parry the actual flashes of light? :lol Bad ass.

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Also when playing multiplayer does it really not save 2p level and stats?

 

[Baha]

Spoiler

To get nega scott do you have to beat the game with all the characters or all the characters at the same time?

Also when playing multiplayer does it really not save 2p level and stats?

No, just you can get him by beating the game with each character if you're playing solo. There are ways of speeding up this process such as

Spoiler

lending money to a level 1 character ON YOUR PROFILE, do not lend money to a character on a guest account if you're doing this alone. Best method is paying Scott's late fees off for every character so they can level up quickly. Using the sword code is faster for farming too.

It does save stats on a guest account from what I've seen.

 

[Chao]

Thanks for those spoilers Slasher!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Am I crazy or are there really no configurable controls in this game?

What if someone wants to play with an arcade stick or similarly non-traditional controller?

 

[Captain_Spanky]

How about having both online and offline co-op?

Maybe they didn't have time? Maybe it was a stylistic choice. Perhaps they didn't want people to play online.

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Thanks for those spoilers Slasher!

Didn't really think it was major or anything but I'm sorry.

 

[Oli]

Maybe they didn't have time? Maybe it was a stylistic choice. Perhaps they didn't want people to play online.

I'm sure it was just a time/money issue. Considering it's a licensed game that had to get out in time for the movie. A shame, but the game seems pretty solid for a licensed title anyway.

 

[MNC]

Is the second unlockable character still unknown to the internet?

 

[donkey show]

I had no problems with the default controls on my HRAP3.

Hell, there are still codes we have no idea about! Speaking of which, someone try this out and figure out what it does exactly. On the title screen with a second controller, input the following Up, Right, Down, Right about 5 or 6 times. You should hear the cheat unlocked jingle, but I haven't seen anything in the game or zombie mode that has changed.

 

[The Elite]

WTF at Scott's ending.

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Yea I know so random so fast so bad.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

Yeah probably. It wouldn't be the first nu-retro downloadable title to purposefully leave out online in favour of "punch your buddy" multiplayer. Joe Danger did something similar.

 

[Dead Prince]

how come i didn't know you could dodge roll in this game :lol

 

[KibblesBits]

how come i didn't know you could dodge roll in this game :lol

I'm amused that a lot of people didn't even bother to read the help file. :lol
Dodge rolling is good when an enemy is blocking too much.

 

[donkey show]

how come i didn't know you could dodge roll in this game :lol

Wha? Do you guys not try out new moves immediately after you get them? :lol

 

[SuperSonic1305]

No online play + 360's horrible dpad makes the decision too easy.

 

[BocoDragon]

I kind of half defended the lack of online co-op in the pre-release thread.. But I'll eat crow on that. It really should be there. A patch would be nice.

 

[thetechkid]

No online play + 360's horrible dpad makes the decision too easy.

So there is online co-op in the PS3 version?

 

[Baha]

So there is online co-op in the PS3 version?

No, he's saying that since it's offline in both versions he could go with the PS3 version instead of waiting. Also better D-pad but I like using the analog sticks more.

 

[SaitoH]

Played 4 player coop for 3 hours and it was a blast. Really enjoying this game.

 

[BocoDragon]

No, he's saying that since it's offline in both versions he could go with the PS3 version instead of waiting. Also better D-pad but I like using the analog sticks more.

Interestingly in this game, the analog sticks work a little differently than the D-pad... you don't have to double tap to do a dash with the stick, so I find myself using the D-pad and analog stick for different reasons. D-pad for combat... Stick when I want to dash around easily.

Where if your avatar from?

The IT Crowd.

 

[The Elite]

Anyone make it to the Radio Tower yet?

 

[DonMigs85]

You know, I wonder if the Neo-Geo could have handled this game with the right coding... Graphics give a strong Metal Slug vibe imo.

 

[Pancho]

Anyone make it to the Radio Tower yet?

I'm beginning to think there's conspiracy afoot! No one answers with at least "No one knows yet" everyone knows except US!!!!

 

[HeresSomeWeapons]

I love that the internet wasn't able to discern all the game's secrets within hours of the game's release. It's like the old days, where secrets were actually secret, and it was up to you to figure it out. Or read about it in Classified Information.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Holy shit! This was all done in flash? It makes sense now how they were able to get this out in a shorter turnaround time.

Great game... I cared more about the game than the movie but the game makes me want to see the movie now (or read the books first)

 

[Randam_Hajile]

I played the demo on Tuesday night and bought the unlock key last night. Since unlocking the full game, I've lost Dolby Digital surround. I know for a fact that it had it in the demo (I was surprised at how loud the volume was by default) but it just won't work anymore in the full game. I know people have been mentioning audio glitches but is anyone else having this same problem?

P.S. Saw the movie almost three weeks ago. Best gamer/geek movie ever!!
