Enter the Comix Zone in new Unbound Saga trailer

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 8th 2009 at 11:40AM }

Looks like the PSP resurgence is kicking in just in time for Unbound Saga, a PSP-exclusive beat 'em up that's heading solely to the PlayStation Network. When we saw it months ago, we were worried that no one would notice a PSP download-only title. With Patapon 2 and PSP go, more and more people have been paying attention to the download capabilites of the PSP. Who knows, perhaps this Comix Zone meets Duke Nukem-ripoff will actually have a chance at selling some copies.

Wow...this game makes me want to buy a PSP...and I've not been able to say that about ANYTHING that has come out for it. Color me impressed.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to copy Comix Zone's theme and setting. Comix Zone was one of my favorite games for the Genesis.

Mmmm...it looks alright. It doesn't look like something I'd buy right away although I probably would after playing must-have type games on PSP.

i'd download this if i like the demo and/or the price was right.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to copy Comix Zone's style. It was one of my favorite games for the Sega Genesis.

So it's posts this comment but not the one I've tried submitting 8 times now? What's going on with you Joystq?

Heh, happens. I sometimes have trouble posting as well... thing doesn't post at all or gives me that "email has been sent" crap. But oh well.

cafecito @ Jun 8th 2009 2:58PM

Yeah, board gives me some trouble sometimes as well. Doesn't post at all or gives me that "We sent you an email" shit. It's terribly flawed, and it has been forever.

This looks like the old Comic Zone, but better! I used to love that game!!

i got a chance to demo this and its a good throwback to the side scroller brawlers common back in the day. Think golden axe and doubledragon but with a modern independent comic flare. Definitely pick this one up!

Looks pretty decent, I'd say. Kind of a Streets of Rage - Comix Zone crossover. But what's important is the gameplay itself... no fun in a beat-em-up if the fighting engine has no substance.

Nobledevil @ Jun 8th 2009 3:18PM

Come get some!

At least the game knows what it's ripping off and has a sense of humor about it.

David Black @ Jun 8th 2009 3:45PM

This looks like fun and I like the style. If it's priced right it could be a day one buy for me.

Roto13 @ Jun 8th 2009 3:52PM

Well no I don't know what to feel.

Roto13 @ Jun 8th 2009 3:53PM

*now I don't know etc.

Stupid lack of an edit button.

Not like Comix Zone. Comix Zone actually looked like comic book style artwork, and Sketch interacted with the pages and layouts in unique ways.

This, on the other hand, seems only to use comic books for its story. Artistically, it draws from the *omfg super edgy* comics, because dark and broody and emo and edgy is all the rage right now.

Also, Howard Drossin's Comix Zone soundtrack was pure win, in a way this game can not possible live up to.
