Never played the first game or games, but this looks awesome.
The combat looks very promising with counter moves and playing as the dog looks unreal!!
Only thing I'm concerned about is the camera angles during combat. Sometimes you can't see the action. But it looks positively violent.
Can't see a release date yet, but it's piqued my interest.

I loved the first 2 games, so I'm in.

This was it for the Dead to Rights thread eh? LOL

Well, I finished my playthrough of the 360 version last night. Enjoyed it. If you can get it cheap (and I'd wager that you can) I'd say it's worth picking up. Gives away achievements like candy.

LOL. I have sold my xbox since posting that.

I rented it when it first came out but didn't expect much. It was mediocre, but fun. An enjoyable rental that was easy to pick up and play, but didn't have any lasting appeal. Definitely not a terrible game but not really a good one either.

The only other one from that series I've played is the first one on PS2. I remember that being better than this one.

I picked it up for $8 at Amazon. Having fun with it so far.

I picked it up used from hastings for 6 bucks and am having a great time with it about 3 chapters in.
