Japan Gaming Guide

This game is looking better every time we see it. Soda 51’s ultra-violent free roaming assassin simulator is hard to pigeonhole – but looks full of originality, and will provide something stylistically very different to what we’re used to on the Wii.

Famitsu just posted some new screens and info, mostly concerning the skills you’ll be learning as you progress through the game. Travis, the game’s hero, has to consult his drunken bar-fly father for details of the new skills, which he’ll then have to go out into the free-roaming world to acquire.

The screenshots below show off some of these abilities, including the ‘Memory of Demon’ attack and the super speedy ‘Memory of Child’. Naturally a lot of them are going to be activated using some kind of Wiimote movement, and will be needed to progress past the ten rival assassins that stand between Travis and his goal of being the number one hitman in California.

Your Father may be a drunken reprobate, but you’ll need his help if you want to locate the skills you’ll need to be the king of killers.

The memory of demon attack. We can’t translate exactly what this does, but it sounds like it hurts.

A power up! Father’s drunken nonsense turned out to be true!

Those tedious jogs around the free roaming environments will go a lot faster with the ‘Memory of Child’ power. Cuts journey times and keeps you trim.
