Yet there were only negative reviews of it, the very few that I've found. But the characters and localization sound so intriguing, Lewis Cannon, good one.

The only review I have read went on about the game having "poor control" which is a lot less subjective than other complaints. I would hate to blow $29.99 on this and have if suck.

Creative and interesting name puns make the quirky chars even more memorable. I don't think this game sold too well in Jpn right? I'm not sure, but I hardly see any reviews of it, maybe 2D beat'em up is not the most popular genre now.. And out of the recent Deka games, I think this one is the most interesting (there's another one w/ grilling the suspect in the interrogation room that looks very weird..)
