New PS3 exclusive next week(it seems) - Anyone heard of it?

It's called Monster Madness it seems, and I have to admit (maybe I'm the only one), that I've never heard about that. Was wondering if it is any good if anyone know of the title...

Monster Madness: Grave Danger Swarms Retail Shelves Throughout North America
Store managers brace themselves for invasion of zombies, werewolves and vampires

SouthPeak Games announced that Monster Madness: Grave Danger, its first title exclusively for the PLAYSTATION 3, has shipped to retail stores in North America. It's a top-down, four player beat-em-up bringing classic arcade style gameplay to gamers.

Staying true to the original comic book art style and hard hitting gameplay of the first title, Monster Madness: Grave Danger boasts vast improvements across the board. Now running on the Unreal 3 engine, the graphics look even more crisp, vibrant and enthralling. The control scheme has been totally revamped to get players knee deep in zombie carcasses in a flash. With 25 brand new single player challenge modes, unlockable costumes for all characters, online and local cooperative story mode and over 100 new power-up items, Monster Madness: Grave Danger is set to put top-down gameplay back on the map.

Players enter the world of four suburban teens as their town is completely overrun by creatures of all shapes and sizes. Follow along with our heroes as they battle their way to the bottom of this deadly mystery, making a few friends (and more enemies) along the way. Equipped with an arsenal of homebrew weapons and devices, the fate of the world balances on the shoulders of four mismatched high-schoolers.

Already out for 360 without the Grave Danger subtitle (hence the 'exclusive' I guess), not very well received. PS3 version's upgraded but also hasn't been well received.

Should be a demo on the PSN Store.

Demo was so-so. I'd pass.

There is a demo on PSN, it was okay....

I played it myself, multiplayer might be more fun.

played the demo, didn't really like. Seems like it would be a good "PSN only" game as the graphics bring back a kind of nostalgia for the old school beat em up arcade games (any one remember avengers?)

Liked the demo enough to plan on buying it on sale... when it hits clearance for ~ 20 bucks, I'll probably grab it.

[Psx0005]

Liked the demo, but if the game's gonna be priced @$60 I'll pass. I may do a $30-40 price point purchase only because I happen to like the whole horror tongue-in-cheek comic theme that Monster Madness brings
