arcade-like replayability. Breathtaking, visually stunning
special attacks. Every enemy & every obstacle is a strategic

We
say: If it is anything like the comic book, it will
be a gorgeous looking game with a dull storyline. Gameplay
looks like your average top down perspective shooter. Been
there, done that.

They say: A no-holds-barred realistic
fighter, the game portrays the brutality of street fighting
while encompassing the artistic style, settings, storyline

every punch and kick from delivered from the shocking visuals
of broken bones, blood-stained ripped clothes and real-time
facial deformation in fully interactive environments from
the film and book. Features 3 different fighting styles
and intuitive controls, the ability to create fighters,
and online gameplay.
We say: Our prayers have been answered.
It would be even more rad if you had to steal human fat
somewhere along the way to make soap.
