^Yeah but he's way too cool to have to explain why...

I thought it was ok.Had some cool features there, I liked the boost-sliding thing and slow-mo's of an enemy receiving a head-shot look amazing.Voice-acting's crap among other issues but it's quite playable...
Why, I think I even caught myself enjoying it at one stage

Had a go last night and its cool, but very Japanese (surprise I know), robots, bad voice work and very chaotic. I'll get it at some stage but not a day 1 for me.

GameSpot like it;

Edit; 6-7 hours long, but most reviews seem to be glowing otherwise. Hmmmmmm.

I downloaded the demo and had a blast with it. I love Japanese games, and this is crazy over-the-top awesome. It's like Gears of War but three times faster—I like.

Oh? This sounds interesting now. I'm watching my transfers, but might go check the demo out.

The demo is pretty good value, there's a two-phase battle ending in a two-phase boss-fight. I've played it a couple of times Since it's such a short game without multiplayer I don't think I'll buy it, but it's definitely worth a rent.

This is pretty fun to control, actually. There's a lot going on and it's like peow peow boom. Not so sure about any other aspect of the game, but it's really fun to control the dude and shot the robots.

edit: Oh, this is by Platinum games - that explains a lot. I should try to keep up with news.
The sound is good too.
