What happens when the voice talent for a violent Anti-Zombie videogame sit down to play it for the first time? Well, some pretty strange things can be revealed, and some sad truths about human nature as well:

The celeb-packed hands-on spectacle includes snippets of pint-sized Kill Bill actress Chiaki Kurimaya – apparently a self-confessed fan of the series – having a go at the game’s battle system, and generally being a little freaked out by the undead hordes.

…

Next up is Jun Komori, who also briefly takes on the Shambling Hordes of Hades before indulging in a bizarre-looking mini-game, the purpose of which completely eludes us.

Editorializing aside (Hordes of Hades? really?), the videos are more or less as described. One actress, clearly a longtime fan of virtual massacres, mows down ‘hordes’ of the Differently Animated, along with, apparently, rock-men and some flying guy with a glowing heart.

The other has a less seasoned virtual slaughterer engaged in a bit of carnage, and then some bizarre mini-games. It looks like in ‘Yakuza: Of the End’, part of your time in-game is spent playing something akin to DDR, and part is playing… a dating sim? I think?

Yeah, I’m not sure what is going on there.

At any rate, ‘Yakuza: Of the End’ comes out soon in Japan and I’m guessing will make its way to America eventually, bringing our already saturated Anti-Zombie game market a mix of carnage, singing and romance all mixed together in one Living Supremacist smoothie.
