Putting aside fan reaction to the 'hack and slash' approach I'm anticipating this title being banned in Australia due to the 'cut anything you want lots and lots' attitude. It might get a pass if it was just robots - but there's footage in this video of people getting slashed up real good...we'll see.

It's interesting how open Kojima Productions is in the video about how they got lost in the development process almost to the point of cancellation; it makes me wonder what fans think about the alternative (no game). I always thought the game was going to be pretty action-packed - so I'm not entirely sure what the fuss is about. It's not the most amazing thing coming but it's certainly got my interest. Assuming it's actually released here I'll check it out.
