"The Bouncer Release Date"

Does anybody know when The Bouncer is coming out over here? I've tried to look for it on sites but have found know luck.

Cant remember where I saw it, either in a magazine or on a web site - Somewhere states June 1st as the release date!!

I was initially put off with the fact that it can be completed in under an hour!! There again the multiplayer will last for a long time - There will be better games out so Im just wondering whether to hold out for those or just get this once its out!! From what Ive seen of the preview demos graphically its one of the best games around but gameplay wise Im not sure!! I mean will it have much replay value other than the multiplayer mode??

Have you guys seen that top posters list?

If you are thinking about getting it I recommend you go to ign and look at some movies. They`ll show you why it is such an exciting prospect.

Where did you find that out? I mean about June release.

I am hoping my next issue of PSM2 will have a release date.

Why would you even have to think about it. If you have a ps2 you must get it

I thought it would be out this month but its now more likely to be June - Im still deciding whether or not I should get it??

To beanz: Yes I`ve seen the reviews, and though it may not have been brilliant, it is still good, and extremely good to look at. It received a better score than most PS2 games released so far (with the obvious exceptions of SSX TimeSplitters etc.. [all the good ones]). I have also looked at many movies at IGN, examining both in game action and sequences. Both look very good. Whilst it may not have fighting like Tekken, it is only a scrolling beat `em up, so its never going to be that great in terms of move variety. Streets of Rage was great fun, so I expect this will be two. Besides, that`s the advantage of gameaday, if you don`t like it, then at least you haven`t wasted £40.

To khazar: I agree, and though er-no would dislike your use of screenshots to defend the game, any sane person would have to admit it looks fantastic.

Thats just one person's opinion. If you see tv screenshots you'll regret disliking the bouncer

haven't you seen any reviews about it?? it's meant to be really bad....nice looking but no fun to play. bad camera angles...whole game can be completed with each character in a few hours...easy fights...well you read about it yourself
