Was holding out hope for this to be secretly good, but that hope got tossed out the window the second it gives you control of a character. Lab-engineered to be the worst feeling brawler you've ever played type stuff. The good news is this game is like and hour and a half max + you can easily mash your way out of just about any battle. Oh and the game looks really good - it's a tech demo for the ps2 and the cutscenes are all phenomenal. They're also most of the game!

Other thoughts on "The Bouncer" - big fan of echidna's fit + hair, Volt Kreuger's massive rolled up jeans. Half trying (barely trying) to give backstory through unused script pages in the loading screens is insane + every time you die you have to brace yourself for THE BOUNCER and then the ritual of skipping at least six cutscenes to get back into it.

Fun to play with a friend, but also the kind of thing you will forget everything about a week later. I'm two days out while writing this and It feels like a lot is mostly gone already from my memory.
