The game has quick-time events. There is one particular boss fight that reminded me very strongly of God of War--only instead of "Press square! NOW PRESS TRIANGLE!" you get prompts for how to waggle. It works surprisingly well--not only does it make more since to swipe the remote up when your character is delivering a right-handed uppercut, but playing a brawler is pretty energizing--there's something right about moving around as part of the game. It doesn't seem overdone, but you'd have to ask Mike about that.
The camera and lock-on/aiming system is a bit wonky--Mike's comment was that it works in boss fights and not so much leading up to them. The plot's a joke and the main character is a sad sack of flesh. He's made out to be badass to the point of ludicrousness, but the game doesn't appear to be aware of just how goofy he is. It does fit in with the comic book theme, though.
The game is conveniently set up into stages with a boss, as it's a sort of bloodsport set-up. I mention this because like with any sport, there are a couple men running inane commentary on the game as you progress through the level. They are fan-fucking-tastic. They make the game worthwhile alone.
4 hours to get through one round of the game, then you unlock stuff (double chainsaws!). Neither of us have beaten it a second time just yet (never been a fan of fighters or their derivatives, but I'll be playing this one). Whether or not to buy, rent, or ignore comes down to how much you like the genre, what price you can get it for, and how many people will be playing your copy.
