Same. I think some of the videos for the later levels, such as the head banging army are hilarious. Its a definite renter for me, added it to my gamefly queue.

I was thinking about getting this game and watched the IGN review of it which was good except for one thing, you can't jump. I found it odd to be a game this massive with interactions galore and yet you can't jump. If someone could tell me how this works with no jumping I would be grateful.

This may actually make me buy this game. I hate jumping games.

Wait. Are you saying you don't like jumping games? Like the ones where you jump from platform to platform only to possibly fall to your death and have to start over? What is wrong with you???

Anyway, no jumping = sold for me as well.

I hate jumping games.

Strange reason to hate games. Must be a childhood thing.

I'm renting this game from gamefly right now, and frankly, I'm a little disappointed. The demo was mostly awesome, but the game kinda slows down after the content that was in the demo. There's still plenty of cutscenes and dialog, but a lot of it is just not as funny as the beginning of the game. I didn't make it super far in the campaign yet (got 3 achievements so far), but as of right now, I'm feeling a bit disappointed.

Jack of all trades but master of none is spot on. You have a mish mash of RTS, open world sandbox style, hack and slash, and racing all mixed up. If it weren't for the story and theme, the game would've been bargain bin in two weeks. I'm glad I'm renting, but I'll continue to play it.

Played the game today - it's amazing! So much fun ! And the dialogues are funny and very well written. The game is full of heavy metal tunes and just the right amount of "cheese". The only two issues I have encountered were that sometimes the volume of speaking changes in one dialogue. One sentence is loud and another very quiet. Not very frequent though. The other one was the Druid Plow getting stuck. But all I had to do was exit it and "resummon", so no biggie.

Love the game Well worth the money. I've spent around 10 hours with the game already - did every secondary mission there is on the map and I'm around the middle mark. The side missions are very short and not tedious. And while looking for them you find other neat stuff - relics that add new songs that play in the car, legends that tell you the story of this wicked world in a really nice way and dragon-thingies that you free - every 10 freed dragons = extra stuff (have 3 now, +10% hp, +10% hp regen and +5% allies hp regen).

I honestly think some of the reviewers are on crack, no its not a 10/10 but its certianlly not a 6/10 like some people have given it, its a solid 8.5-9.5 depending on how much you like this type of game, id give it a 9/10 its great IMO

my biggest issue is driving the car, i suck at it because i want it to function like driving the warthog in Halo

I really liked the story driving the game and the humor. I'll probably rent it. It doesn't seem that it would have alot of replay value.
