I am surprised by the comments that are actually expressed about this game. I am also surprised by Synchronicity's comments. Besides, no one here ever said anything about taking anything serious. People were just commenting on how terrible this game really is. It is more than OBVIOUS that the violence here is not to be taken serious- in this game or ANY piece of media that contains violence. Practically all movies, videogames, shows that appeal the masses are violent. But the violence is besides the point. I do not agree with these young kids' view of "cool". This game is downright terrible. I purchased it based on popular ( and professional) web sites that review games- such as ign, gamespot- all of which practically praised this game. I went on and purchased it yesterday( March 27, 2010), and at first, yes I thought it was actually OK. But, several hours into the game, I turned it off today and really cannot believe how terrible this game turned out to be( Wow! what a waist of my precious money.) The game's story is practically silly: a plot similar to a movie that came out: millionaires fund an assasins tornament. The (supposed) hero Travis returns to the scene after being the previous champion in the last tornament. But this time, he's in it for revenge. Anyway, I was up to some boss called: Matt Helms, a spychotic weirdo with a flame-throwing axe. At this point is where I practically pulled the plug. Let me add that I have 22 games for the wii and I can almost say this is one of my worst purchases. And no I am not saying this because the "immorality" "FREAKED " me out. Hey, if there is going to be such, at least the game should have enough weight to justify and and make such eperience worthwhile. My wife (27) also played it, and backed out after the first hour and a half. Does not even want to look at it. The graphics are rather cheap. The game, in an effort to be "funny" takes on some ridiculous scenes. Like your're gonna fight some football player, and he all of a sudden gets into a robot in outer space along with the cheerleaders (literally). He comes back down, Travis gets on his motorcycle, and the motorcycle then gets into a robot that he had custom made from some chick Naomi. Just before this battle, you're fighting against a blackman (ghetto type, complete with boombox and gangsta' clothing), funny that he had to be black. Typical stereotype. Anyway, I am Colombian and my opinion of this game is not based on racial issues. Its the fact that all this boss could do was a cheesy and lame missile throwing from his boombox. ( ha- ha? that's supposed to be funny???) It took me a while to beat this boss, who after sometime in the game activates some motion sensing lasers who will activate machine guns if you cross their paths( and believe me, you will). then sometime later he will do some STUPID thing which will make the floor move all over so you can more easily get lured into the lasers or his heat seeking missiles launched from his boombox. Not to mention the falling chandalier in the center of the room made to fall on you if you pass under it. This is funny? Some french-accent chick keeps being shown and all you see is her boobs just fittting in her breast and her butt or crotch area. Beating each boss was not satisfying, nor gratifying. It just left a bad after taste in my mouth. A taste of cheap story, cheap graphics and on top of that the CONSTANT cursing, constant hiding from enemies to recharge your stupid blade. You cannot even begin to imagine how ANNOYING that gets. On top of that, the game has you in a CONSTANT WAGGLING of the wii remote that (with no exaggeration) left my arm soar. Because if you do not do it hard enough, the boss ( or enemy) will over power you. To what ever adult is considering buying this game for their console, I highly recommend you RENT it first. I don't know if you people will believe me, but I will most likely be trashing this ( in the garbage!!) Just as I have with stupid games like this one.
