Make no bones about it, this one is not for the kiddies. The folks over at Microsoft take the "this is a serious entertainment device, for adults" product positioning of the Xbox very seriously indeed, with some only slightly veiled references to all sorts of things that would normally remain private. Think Jerry Springer meets South Park, with a pinch of Mario Party. You're not even close.
The premise is simple - it's a gameshow. You've seen them, TV is obsessed with them. This one, however, is slightly different - it's dangerous, quirky and just downright difficult to explain. Instead, let's take a look at the features it has to offer:
- * Fast and Furious Combat
Utilise power ups and more than 40 weapons (like giant staplers, rubber ducky grenades, circus cannon) to flatten your opponent
* Zany Cast of Characters
Choose from 8 truly bizarre (and occasionally unidentifiable) characters, as best suits your personality. Bit of an extrovert? Choose Lucy, the hot (and shapely) humanoid dressed only in stockings and strategically placed black bars - we think they may have been added later.
* Eclectic Gameplay Variations
The already hinted at "Combat" mode is (of course) present, along side the never-before-seen "player vs a horde of man eating chickens" mode and some more familiar "Capture the flag" and "King of the hill" variants.

We'll have a full review of the game for you in the next week or so. Stay tuned.
