I respectfully disagree with this review almost 95% of the way. The Loading times are annoying, yes, but that is about it. I went into this game knowing it was going to be a mindless brawler, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
First of all, the story: The story is exactly what it needs to be: Your girl is kidnapped, your dead meat, but you get a second chance so you can get the bastard who did it to you. Honestly, any game that says it's the bloodiest is not trying to woo you with a story. Anyone going into this expecting Bioshock is setting themselves up for disappointment.
The Combat: The combat is visceral and bloody. Like other users have said, you can rip arms off of your opponents and beat them to death with it, or you can use your own severed arm. Or you can use any weapon from the original games. Weapons do not break easily, unless you use them on the larger enemies, which causes weapons to break in one hit, the exception being the Shotgun.
As for the game being "a step back for the medium as an artform": Games do NOT HAVE to be art. Games are interactive, not watchable. While I enjoy my Bioshocks, my Brutal Legends, and all other video games that could be considered Art, I play games to have fun, and "mindlessly" ripping apart uglies is a good way to have fun.
Now, as for the boobies, I have two things to say: First of all, you do not have to collect them. The only reason you would want to is for the Gamerscore, and I'm sorry, personal view upcoming, but if your only in games for the gamerscore, you are what is killing this hobby.
The Second thing about the boobs, is that this game was made to be a B Horror Game. B Horror has three things in large ammounts: Swearing (Check), Boobs (Check), and Blood (Double Check). So it has a purpose being in there. This is coming from a nineteen year old who has been gaming for eleven years, FYI.
In closing, this game is very, very good, as long as you know your just going into it to rip some people apart. Don't expect to come out of it with modified views of the world.
P.S. The Splatterkills (QTE's) in this game are the only QTE's I have EVER enjoyed playing in a game.
