Lawyer's Fate Pushed Back To 2008

Mujah — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:20:27 MST

However, inside sources state that the delay is only to polish the rough edges on an otherwise supremely satisfying experience. Rumors have also been circulating that a sequel is already planned, tentatively titled "Lawyer's Revenge" and focusing on the main character's personal battle against the system that "betrayed" him.
"You think he'd just give up because of how this installment ends?" An employee laughed in an interview (given under the condition of anonymity). "I'm not giving much away by giving away this plot point, because we all know how it's going to go, but I promise you, you won't walk away from the experience any less content."
A Limited Collector's Edition was also announced last week, containing a figurine with real-time flower-shunning action and a DVD collecting all of your favorite moments from the games Career Mode, as well as some behind-the-scenes documentaries featuring interviews with various NPCs from the game.

@gwangi:
Take That! Interactive has instead blurred the scenes and pan away from the "action" when it's happening. The ESRB found this change to be acceptable and changed its initial rating.

Lawyer's Fate Pushed Back To 2008

gwangi — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 11:32:58 MST

I believe the rating on the game box is incorrect. Shouldn't it be rated M due to the inclusion of gay porn, both submitted by JT in filings and the final jail level probably has some too.

Lawyer's Fate theme is up on Live, 800 MS points and a 50/50 chance it'll either brick your console, or replace the power-on 360 logo splash with a recording of JT warning you that you're using a murder-simulation machine.

I tried a demo of this game, it glitches a lot. I've numerous times to make JT jump off buildings, run into oncoming traffic, throw himself into dangerous machinery, or actually turn him into a decent human being.

With that said, the screen locks up, and I hear this lecture on violent gaming, and how suing everything in sight makes JT feel more like a man. Also he reveals himself to be an alien, and then everything crashes.

Don't buy this!

This is only going to give JT more time to find some legal loophole and squirm his way out once again like the worn he is. 2008 was going to be diffrent but no!! why can't they just take a day where they ask him to go court and just say guilty and get this over with?
