Metal Wolf Chaos (a Japanese game to be published in the US in March for the Xbox) puts you in the shoes the President of the United States.. who, uh, at the begining of the game, jumps out the window of the Oval Office just before the entire second storey of the White House explodes. You then must kill everyone you see, including helicopters, marines, tanks, the works - as you make your way to Air Force one, which launches out of the Washington Mall Reflecting pool and clips the roof of the Lincoln Memorial.

I’m not kidding. Oh yeah - the President is seemingly wearing his everyday clothes - a suit, armored, mechanized, and bristled with ginormous guns.

Check out this gameplay video. The audio translations stink of Zero Wing.

This game just looks AWFUL, but still could be a blast while drunk, or alongside a bunch of your friends who .. uh.. proabably should also be drunk. I gotta admit the weapon-switching animation is damn cool - especially when the Presdient goes all Death Blossom.

You’ll see.

Anyway, if this thing plays anything like a Genesis-style shooter than it might actually be a runaway hit, so long it never, ever, attempts to take itself seriously.
