The best word I can think for this is juvenile, but I'm not sure it totally fits it. I can definitely see the inspiration from Painkiller in the way the dialog works and the weapons. That being said, it's not a bad thing. Like Painkiller it knows what it is and doesn't try to be something different. Sure it's not the most deep plot from the look of it, but who cares you're shooting weird things across the whole planet. And the range or scale shown in the trailers there are really interesting, the "fatty" guy seems pretty standard and it has the look of a pretty standard boss; while the "godizilla" really looks and seems massive. The game looks like a shameless, fun, guilty pleasure.

I actually really liked how well the did the First person view. They've got the shaky camera from Gears of War, and the never leaving First person view (while in action at least) similar to Half-life. It seems like it could be really well done.

Plus the lead is voiced by Steven Blum, so that's another plus.
