...This game. Just... 0_0

I got no words to describe it. I don't even know where to begin.

Well, how about this: It's WEEEEEEIIIIRRD!

I mean, Guilty Gear for example may be a strange game, but there may be some interesting myths behind the characters or the setting. And the game itself isn't generally weird, it's mainly the designs of the characters that are strange.

This game on the other hand? ...No. It's just bizarre.

For starters, one of the fighters is a man dressed up as a dog, one of the arenas has a rock band consisting of fat guys in the background, some characters PUNCH doors open, some interludes in the story consist of breaking into somebody's rec room and beating up their bodyguards, when you defeat an opponent, they paint their faces?!... Why?! What?! Who? Huh?! What? Where?! WHY?!

But probably the strangest part of the game is the final boss. I might as well spoil it for you in order to explain this.

Get this: the final boss is a little girl (a princess apparently) dressed as The Pope, who wears shoes that have circular blades in them, and kisses a magic box that apparently can conjure up whatever she wants; including paranoid anthropomorphic frogs, muscular genies, and sword blades. She also has a boxing glove spring, and a ray gun.

I did not make a word of this up.

What's more is the final boss theme which you're listening to right now. As you can hear, it's a rock guitar version of a wedding song...

My mind. It imploded.

I could probably say this is simultaneously the weirdest, lamest, and most unique final boss in a fighting game I've ever seen.

Not to mention the theme, while good, deserves the spotlight, as it is a song that you could probably say: "Where am I ever going hear this again?"

Well except maybe a wedding of one of the AC/DC band members.
