Tokyo Jungle Will Be The Best Game Of 2012

Forget Assassin's Creed III, Halo 4, Borderlands 2, and any other game coming out this fall. I've seen the best game of 2012, and it's called Tokyo Jungle.

Tokyo Jungle is a post-apocalyptic action/adventure game set in a Tokyo that's been overrun by wildlife. You play as a variety of animals, including a horse, baby chick, deer, and my personal favorite, a Pomeranian dog. If that sounds insane, you need to watch the video right now. It also contains a monkey wearing pants, a panda mounting another panda, and dinosaurs. Where the heck did the dinosaurs come from?!

Tokyo Jungle will release on June 7 in Japan. It is now my life's mission to get my hands on this game and play it.

....words....do not describe this.....

You MUST do a Test Chamber on this.
by NinjaSquirrel Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 02:13 PM

Im so confused right now.
by pariah Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 02:42 PM

We need to start a localization petition right now. This looks like the greatest game ever made.
by WUMBOL0GY Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 02:42 PM

HAHAHAHAHA

I agree with @UndKeineEier. TEST CHAMBER PLEASE!

A fun idea that will inevitably be ruined by terrible gameplay.
by Chief Beef Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 04:26 PM

So I'm going to call this the first "Super Reported".

1:17 is going to haunt me.
by Darth-Carbonite Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 04:45 PM

My mind is officially blown. I WILL have this game!.
by drownthefish23 Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 05:13 PM

I expect a super replay. Anything less will not suffice
by John Hunter Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 05:21 PM

Omg this looks amazing, test chamber ftw!

Thanks for bringing this up, Hangtime. I was actually wondering about what happened to this game the other day, good to know it is coming out.
by Charlie FoHammer Thursday, May 24, 2012 at 10:44 PM

You know what would be REALLY mind-blowing? A Japanese game developer rejecting a concept pitch because it's too stupid.
by Castille Friday, May 25, 2012 at 12:51 AM

Wow...no words really. I call dibs on the dinosaurs though.
by The Mighty Atlas Friday, May 25, 2012 at 10:21 AM

GAME. OF. THE. CENTURY.
by CLock6919 Friday, May 25, 2012 at 11:27 AM

What on Earth was going through the minds of the developers...are Japanese people really this strange?
by Romars Friday, May 25, 2012 at 12:52 PM

I get it, that Dog is God, because dog spelt backwarsds is God. NOw to figure out why a baby chick was karate kicking a velociraptor...
by Another Matthew Friday, May 25, 2012 at 04:09 PM

A gritty wildlife game?

SOLD.
by a123sd Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 12:59 PM

That Deer was sneaking under a box...

MGS5: The Deer Imperative!

No?

Thanks for bringin this game up Jeff. Never would have heard of it otherwise. I agree completely, this is the must buy game of 2012. Just jumped to the top of my wish list. Question though...i found it for sale on play-asia, and it says there's no region protection. Does that mean I can play it on my US PS3?
