I do not have my copy yet but I am sure many others will begin to obtain theirs today, so here is a section for those people to post their comments on their experience obtaining the game, the box art, the booklet and of course the game!

Well, I got out of class and went to my Gamestop to pck up my copy, but they have not got their shipment in. They taid they would most probably have it by 12:00. It was very disappointing to say the least

That sucks.

I went up to eat at chickfila and stopped by Best Buy afterwards, they had it! So I bought it!

I was hoping the booklet would be the comic booklet like the japanese version but it is just normal. I will not be able to play for a little while but I will tell you all what I think as soon as I do!

Those living around Providence, RI should be able to find the game at yr. local Best Buy. I bought a copy at the Seekonk, MA location. It was not on the shelf so be sure to ask one of those guys in the yellow shirts if you don't see it there.

Hey! I live near Providence! Which Best Buy? The one in Warwick?

Hey Rage, I didn't buy it at the Warwick store but the Best Buy website says they have it in stock. Just make sure you ask someone for it if you don't see it on the shelf. If for some reason they don't have it in Warwick despite what their inventory says, then go to the Seekonk store because they definitely have them there (as of noon today).

In the metro Detroit area most of the GameStops list that they do not have any copies for purchase, but in reality most just have it only available to people who had reservations.

I will be back on here later once I am able to go and pick up my copy!

Well, "I baught it!" Played the first level. Absolutely kick ass. Travis' intro is one on the very best intros I've witnessed. The bloodshed begins right when you press the "A" button and it doesn't stop till the last body drops. The cinematics are really fun. There's a good veriety of moves and attacks to use, so even though there's a lot of enemies to face, you can try different ways to kill them: high attacks, low attacks, high charged attacks, low charged attacks, high kicks, low kicks, and wrestling moves. Not to mention the three different super combat modes you get when you achieve a slot combo (RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE SUNDAE).

I am already rank 8.

It is fantastic! The only thing I have trouble with is driving the bike, I am a terrible driver! I also take so much time in between the missions to power up my blade and stuff that I end up not having enough to enter into the next contest, which means more work to do. But it is worth it!

Oh and for all of you who just started make sure to watch the video of the first trailer as soon as you can get to your apartment, it shows the fight that should have been the first cutscene of the game, but instead they throw you straight into the action!

While the overworld is a bit annoying, I love the style and absolutely absurd amount of wrestling references. I just wish there was a RIC FLAIR BUFFET or something really insane like that.

I thought Death Metal was easy, Dr. Peace was a bit boring, but Shinobu was owning my face. I think there are intricacies to the combat we'll have to experiment with to truly understand.

I have been played the game for 2 hours now and love it. The overworld can be annoying a little bit, but probably the worst I will find anywhere in the game is having to go back to the place where you decide to do an assassin mission if you fail an assassin mission and then go back to the place where the assassin mission is.

The combat, boss battles, style, music, script, and cutscenes are just superbly awesome.

Shinobu was easy at first but then she whooped my ass out of no where! I had to refight her and she was a bit easier the second time. So far it is not hard but the bosses are intense! I love it!

Beat the game. Finished in 11 hours and 15 minutes exactly. To be perfectly blunt, I have not had this amount of satisfaction from beating a game in over a decade. The ending is awesome/hilarious/wtf. When you beat the game you will know what I mean. And a tidbit of info for you all, after you beat the rank 1 assassin, choose to view "The Real Ending." I did not at first, no big deal really, just means you have to watch the credits 2x. Oh and also after you beat it wait tukk the end of the credits for an additional cut scene. Hope yall have fun.

Anyone notice those notes left in a wrestling mask from a mister "M.S.?" Don't spoil anything, just wink

I bought it yesterday afternoon at about 1 o'clock...I am playing on mild and I am not going to lie..this game is very difficult for me. I am not a bad gamer in the least bit, but I think I may be missing something. I have been trying to beat rank #8 fight for prbably almost 2 hours played now. I cant seem to beat that stupid chick.

Any help?

I bought it yesterday at around 1:00 also. I'm playing it on mild too, but mild is supposed to be the "hard mode" so it might explain why it takes a bit longer to beat bosses than usual. It's not difficult but some of the boss fights can take a bit getting used to sometimes. I haven't played too much since i got it but I'm rank 5 now.

Yeah I am on Sweet mode, it does not matter which one you play because you get the Bitter mode if you beat any of them. I am terrible at video games so Sweet mode is just right for me.

I got this game today at Best Buy and there were 5 other copies still there. This game is hard to find to be honest, I called EB Games today and yesterday and they only had it available for people who reserved it. I called Target and Walmart today and yesterday and they didn't have it. I called Best Buy yesterday and they didn't have it but they had it today and I rushed over as soon as possible. Anyway, for those of you still trying to find it don't give up!

Best Buy seems like the place to go, the game stores only have copies for people who reserved them but most Best Buys have gotten at least six or seven copies in.

Off topic: Hello, I'm new (blah,blah etc.)

On Topic: My brother waited in line for the game,and got the last copy. I have to say it's really good. But it's no Killer 7.
