I hope sega doesn't think this game is a flop just yet. They'll understand that this game will sell slowly, right? I see it reaching a million by the end of the year, but hopefully quicker.

Great game with an over the top story. Agent G and Washington are the best odd couple that i have seen in a video game. You can feel the love between them. One thing that was kind of a bummer was that it was way to damn easy and short. Playing the story mode and updating just the regular hand gun and the regular shotgun I beat the game in less than 3 hours. Playing in the directors mode, the first couple chapters were a bitch with more zombies coming after you. Then I updated to the automatic shotgun to the max and the Hand cannon. Flew right through the game. One shot kills are great but it made the game way easier. I am not a fan of on rails, but this game made me a believer. If they add an online to the sequel, that will be bread and butter.

okay. The Wii install base is roughly 1/20 of that in America. Assuming that the tie ratio is fairly even, then that would mean that at this time of the year the 6th top selling game would sell around 1400 copies...

So, not very impacting on others, is it?

Whoever thinks that is insane. Thats very good.

It also makes me think that the sales are undertracked because that would suggest that the top 6 game in the country of australia was less than 20,000

Game will not sale as much as it could have in the US. When I bought my copy at Gamestop the clerk let me know that they were almost out because they only got 6 copies in and that would most likely be the last of them. He was trying to get me to pre order a copy of Madworld while doing this. Also saying that they would only be getting in 3 copies of the game.

@boneark, ive never seen commercials for those, but you're probably right aboud CoD having them. It's just rare for me to see the Wii version advertised anywhere else though. (it takes too much ink to add "Wii" after "avail for 360 and PS3" on most store paper inserts)

Anyway, this game is a blast. So much to unlock, a directors cut that adds a surprising amount to the game, and lots of fun gore. I hope this does well, and not just from a hardcore M rated standpoint, but its just that fun of a game/well put together. This gamed also comes with an ad for Madworld (as well as an unlockable trailer in the game itself) and an insert for Conduit, so I'm all for spreading the word on other good looking games.

Easily the BEST rail shooter available for the Wii. The style is fantastic and the music is really really good. Add in a funny story with excellent voice acting and tons of unlockables and upgradable weapons. This game is really fun!

You will NOT see commercials for this game, it is VERY hardcore and the marketing budget is small. Its hard to get a screenshot that doesn't have blood, brains, and guts all over the place ;)

Spread the word about this one, very good time!

This will blow away all other light gun games for some time to come. Unless of coarse they decide to release an updated Panzer Dragoon Orta or sequel ;)
