How come the demo's been out for days and I haven't seen any posts of "this game roxorz!!!1"
On the strength of the demo alone I got myself a US copy (it came out here on the 17th, I think, according to SR, so it should be out now) and I've been slashing on burning bodies, shooting police officers, hitting people with spades, throwing cats at people, eating doughnuts and pizza and helping mental patients escape. Not to mention stopping a bank robbery (then killing everybody in the bank anyway) killing some hippies who are burning down the library, stopping a bunch of protesters against game violence taking over Running With Scissors and taking on suicide bombers at the church. Shaba.

It's fun.
The first ever game in history to receive the "Intensely Violent" rating.
Great.

I got the UK version and it's not edited at all.
AND I made a post about this game about 2 months ago and another like 3 weeks ago when the demo was first released. . . so I win.

Hmmm, well, if it's crap cos they edited it, I shall take it back.
That's why I got me a US version. Niiiiiiice.
From what i've read about it, I bet the UK version's been cut to pieces by the BBFC.
I would reckon it's got an 18 certificate, since it has the naughty "F word"
Swearing is bad, m'kay?

This sounds like one cool game.
I am sooooooo gunna have to get this. What age rating is it? If it's an 18 I shall go in SR and pick up the game. If the guy gives me a funny look, I shall throw some scissors at him and then pee on him, whilst shouting "I AM NOT INFLUENCED BY THIS GAME!"
Then I shall pay for the game and leave the shop.
Sorted.

There's the usual "local store" (with terrorists upstairs) and there's loads of others, such as clinics, motels etc. Then there's stuff like the mall (full of shops) and garages, factories, junk yards, churches, police stations, libraries etc etc. Loads of places to go.
No, there aren't any vehicles in, shame. There isn't much interation really, you can go into shops and buy stuff (food for health, and weed for, um... health) and one of your jobs is to get signatures for a petition (you can threaten 'em if they don't sign) Other than that, they just look at you funny, or laugh at you. So you burn 'em up.
The objective is to live 5 days, doing chores. Simple stuff like going to the bank goes insane though, as usually when you complete a task, people run in with shotguns, or napalm. Your list of enemies grows as the week goes on (I had protestors, hippies, rednecks, butchers and postal workers after me)
