Check it out, if you have Complete I guess. I had forgotten exactly how downloads worked for non-Completists.

Check it out.
It would be nice to see... but I'm not going to pay gamespot to see it. The new screenshots look nice though, I was already already convinced I was getting this game.

I've always wondered if Mosquiton works for Gamespot...

The game looks very nice, but I'm a little anxious because DreamFactory is working on it. Ever since Tobal 2, they really haven't had much success with their projects. Most of the time, the graphics end up being out of this world, but the gameplay turns out really lousy and really annoying to play through. It's nice to see that Capcom's bringing it to the US, but I hope that the game ends up being more than just a pretty graphics demo.

That's my concern about the game as well. The way the game is set up sounds like fun and graphics look great but I'm a bit worried if the game itself is going to be up to snuff. Hopefully there will be good news on the gameplay front once the Japanese version gets released.

I write for several different places, but I technically work for myself. I don't write much for GS anymore. Actually I may have a steadier, more gainful employment situation in the next few months so wish me luck there... unless you're the kind that likes to get your schadenfreude on.
Since I'm not that type of guy I'll fill you guys in who don't want to pay two bucks a month for game footage.
You can probably tell by the screens that its all free-roaming. There's an auto-map for the randomly generated levels. I only saw similarly sized (on the map at least) rooms separated by short passages, which is a little disappointing.
Looks heavily combo based. It didn't look too difficult to get up to 20+ on three or four enemies. The counter display is quite large... maybe even IN YOUR FACE.
Enemies pop out what must be currency and other goodies (I think I saw a book?) as you beat them up. When you've offed them they disappear into an EXP earned message.
Looks like all three characters can use a variety of weapons. When you run into bosses it gives a complete stats rundown (level, attack and defense values, etc.) and lists a skill like "Liquid" or "BigQuake".
Didn't see any throws or counters outside of an in-game movie. I'd hope they'd be in there. I really wish I'd hear something about a create-a-character and online play in this game (since it's all about customizeable weapons and random maps) but I'm not too optimistic. :/
I was a little disappointed with the video, but if it's even reasonably cool I'll probably pick it up. I'm hurting so bad for a good 3D beat-'em-up...

Have you tried Alter Echo? I just picked it up $15 new and it's a very good beat-em and shoot-em up. You can morph between three forms, even in mid-combo. It's no Ninja Gaiden, but its more than worth the asking price. For PS2 and Xbox.
As for this game, I haven't seen the video, but I have very low expectations considering the developer.
