OK, so it may not be the best game ever. (We all know which one that is). But imagine Gitaroo Man swinging off a rope towards FF3 standing on a pedestal, as if this were Best Video Game Gladiators and we were playing Human Cannonball. GM connects head-on, FF3 gets knocked off balance, sways frantically, but just manages to stay on. That’s how good it is.
Speaking of best game ever, if you haven’t seen The Jaded Gamer’s “100 Greatest Games?” feature, I suggest you do so right now. Thing literally took about four months to complete. Just goes to show you that even the greatest video game of all time can get ripped to shreds if you’re cynical enough.

HELL YEAH!
Which in all honestly isn’t a bad game, considering the fact that they spent six weeks on it.
Well, that’s certainly better than the numerous “Dynasty Warriors” and “Samurai Warriors” Koei keeps releasing although it’s the same damn game in each one. Yet, the fans keep eating it up.
You know, having actually played DW2, 3, 4, 5, and SW, they all seem like different games to me. Similar styles, sure, and the basic gameplay is the same, but that doesn’t mean they’re all just “the same game”.
Talk to the folks at G4’s X-Play about it.
And what, I’m supposed to give a care about anything on G4?
Gitaroo Man is undoubtly one of the coolest games out there. Glad you found it!

Haha. I “found” a “used” copy today at EB for 39.99.
Rumor has it it’s been reprinted. Why these are all surfacing as used instead of new copies, though, is anyone’s guess. Here’s a bunch of new ones:

Rez also is on the “recently reprinted” list.
Yeah, I heard that as well. Would explain why the eBay prices have taken a nosedive recently.
Rumor also has it that they’re working on a sequel. If it turns out not to be true, I’m going to hurt someone. Badly.
