I don't know if there's many Dishwasher fans here, but I enjoyed the first one and it has a sequel in the works. I like to think of the Dishwasher games as the 2-d equivalent of Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden games(particularly the original Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360). The gameplay really feels like those games, but in 2-d, and they're just as difficult, just as fast paced, just as violent and just as cheesy
Though they benefit from a bit more of a heavy metal feel(thanks in large part to the soundtracks)
So with this, Scott Pilgrim,Batman:Brave and the Bold and possibly Shank, it's nice to know 2-d beat'em ups are really and truly not dead. Here's a video:
