It's still psychedelic, it still looks like a NES game gone very wrong, it's still got hyperfast violence, it's still a murder sim, the melee combat is still the best around. I'm only a couple of maps in, but it seems like they're more open space-wise than HM1's maps were, much more space, which has also meant a lot more guns, which I didn't really enjoy in the first one (Not as much fun as the melee), but here they are.

There's a checkbox to skip scenes of sexual violence, if you're not into that sort of thing. The australian version doesn't have any scenes of... anything... so that might be the version to get, if you're not into... anything.

I'd rate it twelvety hundousand outraged Daily Mail columnists out of six. I think you should probably buy it.

Ethics in Journalism statement : I did once speak to a woman.

So, assuming (rather generously) that the whole, or at least majority of plot was thought out at the making of first game...does it mean that the first one actually was based on Rambo?

I'm a big fan of this series. My fave character must be the Kung-fu fatty with nunchucks (Jake ?). I wish we had tabletop RPGs similar to it.

I've found the first game weak at first, then after I've finished the second I went back and managed to really appreciate the more.. visceral rawness of the first.
