Ah you guys are no fun. That\'s what EB is for, buy it, and if you don\'t like it, return it. :)

My own *cough* rental store. ;)

I get to test drive it, for free mind you, at the Sony Metreon this Saturday.  I\'ll have first impressions of the US release for you later that night.

I am no matter what. I have double dragon on my nintendo and i still play it(sometimes). I will do the same after i beat The Bouncer, and to top it off, they have multiplayer.

I\'m going to buy it because I have lots of money. I preordered just about everything in march. Ah, I love plastic.

Guys, seriously, I have heard nothing but bad things about this horrible travesty of a good game idea gone horribly wrong.  I hear it looks great, which is fun in its own right, but that the game lacks any kind of interactivity with the backgrounds; therefore that picture of the guy lifting up the table is not something which is possible for you to actually do in the game.  I will rent it for some eye candy, but there\'s no way in hell I\'m shelling out any more than five bucks for it.

Nice, please do that. Are you going to post them on the main page or the forums? Please post it in the forums because this is the first place I go to when I come to the page.

I\'ll rent it. But there is no way in hell, I\'d buy it. I don\'t expect it to be that good and it is short, so it doesn\'t warrant a purchase in my opinion. I\'ll rent it though, just to see what all the fuss is about (other then the obvious graphics :facelick: ) .

I dunno what Bjorn\'s stances are on first impressions on the main news page, but in any case, it\'ll be posted here first.  Hmm... I should really post my StarFighter review... damn, I\'m one lazy bastard :)

I\'ll probably buy it... after Onimusha and Shadow of Destiny.

I bought this game & its a very very big let down. Good graphics that\'s it. No interaction, boring limited fitting moves, crist even in double dragon you could pick stuff up grab people from behind while your mate beets them up, honestly do yourself a favour don\'t get it. Only one person can play through the story mode WTF(that mite of saved it a bit). There are way way better scrolem beatem ups out there. This game is just a big pile of steaming ****! Look I tried to like it, I even managed to convince myself for a while that it was good, then my sanity returned.

Sorry to the people that have pre-orderd it, think of me a payed £70(import) for it & got £15 back when  I traded  it back in for Omniusha (now that game is fun).

Hmm I tried that, lets hope they don\'t know anything about gamplay or for Crist sake don\'t let them play it & you should be ok. Now a lot better idea is to show them the MGS2 demo when you buy Z.O.E & really blow there socks off :).

SO you buy it for 50 bucks, then return it to EB for about 20.  That makes no sense.  You could rent it for a month for 30 bucks.

Umm, when I return software to EB I get my full money back. :) As long as it\'s within 10 days.

Also, I know lots of people have criticized the game, but like I said, I want to try it out for myself before I pass any judgment.

Oh, you do a full return?  THey do that??  Or are you lying and saying something is wrong with the disc?

Post by: StriderHiryu on March 03, 2001, 11:44:56 AM
Just rent the game, I\'m playing the  US version and Im almost finished it and its my first time. On the other hand Onimusha(US ver. as well) is another story that game kicks ass. Bad dubbing though but you can change it back to japanese.
Title: I\'ll probably end up buying it
Post by: Lynx on March 03, 2001, 12:09:19 PM
I have already played the Japanese version..and it\'s not that bad.  And besides..if I\'m just sitting there and in the mood to play a game where I just beat up a bunch of goons then the bouncer will come in handy.  Hey it worked for streets of rage ^____^.   Then again I might skip this title...right now I\'m kinda waiting for Onimusha and Z.O.E

Post by: nO-One on March 03, 2001, 12:32:57 PM
This game is basically walking around beating it up right.And you can pick up stuff and use il as weapons.If so the game sounds fun enough for me

YES ! we do that..as long you have the original receipt, the original package and the way you bought it..we will give you a FULL REFUND or an exchange..you have 10 days or the store warranty is voided

so you can buy the game..and if you dont like it for some reason, you can return or exchange it for another game.

if you lost your receipt and you dont like the game we can ONLY give you trade-in value

Post by: Halberto on March 03, 2001, 01:18:18 PM
Does anyone know when Onimusha is coming out.
Title: Bouncer next week... who\'s getting it?

pre-order it from EB and you get a FREE T-Shirt..for me i just get the FREE T-Shirt without pre-ordering it ;)
Title: Bouncer next week... who\'s getting it?
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on March 03, 2001, 01:31:22 PM
still looking forward to it, But i have to get ZOE instead, cause all my games so far are TTT, SSX and TS so im really looking for a game that offers a lot of depth rather than just multiplayer fun, cause i already have that

had they left the interactivity with the backgrounds in (i.e. that early screenshot showed earlier in the thread), it might have ben a must have, but...ill rent it

As someone already stated, yep they do that. The main reason why I always buy my stuff @ EB. Buy a game, if I don\'t like it, it goes right back. (for a full refund)

Anyhoo, I know the odds are against Bouncer being good, but seeing how my PS2 has been drying up as of late, I need to feed it some new games. :)

Of course Onimusha and ZOE come out this month, so my PS2 will be full soon enough. ;)

Post by: videoholic on March 03, 2001, 05:38:23 PM
Well, that\'s a good enough reason for me to startbuying from EB.   Thanks for the info.
Title: Bouncer next week... who\'s getting it?
Post by: magikman54 on March 04, 2001, 01:24:53 PM
I\'ll probably rent it, whenever I get around to it. From what I remember these types of games tend to be too damn repetitive. And with Onimusha and GT3 coming out, who needs Bouncer anyway?! :smokin:

Pfft! Not for $85 CAN (tax inc.), considering it\'s selling point is exclusive only to it\'s visual splendor.
