Wouldn't it have been funny..

.. if the game was actually surprising, like the movie - in that it wouldn't have been all ABOUT the fighting, but about other things completely?

If this game didn't have any (or much) fighting in it whatsoever!

Wouldn't that have been funny?

Who would have ever guessed that the corporate machinery that thinks only of profit, would take a social commentary-type movie and make it just a simple, crappy fighting game, just because the name of the movie is "Fight Club", and there is some fighting in it?

Lots of people thought the movie was about fighting, before actually watching it. I can only surmise that the people who made the decision to make this a fighting game, were this kind of people - they probably never saw the movie (let alone read the book).

This game should've been about Grande Latte Enemas, Slaves to the Ikea Nesting Instinct, Frihala Sofas, Erica Picari (?) Dust Ruffles, Klopsk Tables, Little Coffee Tables in the shape of Yin/Yang symbols (that's really not a physical SHAPE, though - the SHAPE would be round, and the symbol just the coloring, but whatever), Svarvik lamps, Veksle Area Rugs, Brempfi Workstations and Hovetrekke Home Gyms.

I think Nintendō Wii has games that would have fit a lot of those categories (The Grande Latte Enemas could have been a surgery game, like "Trauma Center", the Hovetrekke Home Gym could have been part of a Wii Sports-style game, and so on).

The whole game could have been an adventure game, where you have to find a cure for the Insomnia of the Narrator, or find a way to commit a suicide for Marla Singer, or.. well, there's just so much material in the movie.

But what did they do? "Oh, it's called 'Fight Club', and there are men fighting in it - ok, make it a fighting game, obviously!"

S-I-G-H.

I don't think many things can be more IRONIC than that!
