You've heard the tales, and you've been given a chance to play a twisted fighting fairy tale version of the classics. We've tried out the co-op in Fairytale Fights to ask Mirror, Mirror if this game is the fairest of them all, or deserves to be ground into bone-crunchy Giants bread.

Fairytale Fights has already been released, but that didn't stop PlayLogic from releasing a launch trailer for the four player co-op title.  What's in store?  Blood.  Lots and lots of blood.  I also thing I spy some dismemberment, some kicks to the head, some matrix style camera work, and a handful of big dead wolves.  

This isn't a bedtime fairytale by any means.

You'd be daffy not to take advantage of this
 

Today is the day that Fairytale Fights hits store shelves in all it's brutal glory, and the team would like you to enjoy a bit of DLC for free for a short time. This free DLC will include 4 new playable characters, and 3 additional PvP arenas on both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 versions of the game.

In order to get this otherwise $15 DLC for free, you have to register your copy of the game here - no cheating guys, this is actually a pretty cool incentive for those that purchase the game. After the 90 days, the DLC will still be available, so no one is completely left out.

When promoting a video game to young men, nothing grabs their attention like porn stars. In the short advertisement for the four player co-op Fairytale Fights, there's even something for the ladies, namely Ron Jeremy.  I kid...I kid.

The advertisement, which is probably the first of many, is filled with poetic words, sexy costumes, and sexual promise between the ladies.  What it's not filled with is gameplay.  There's a whole 3 seconds of that, and if you blink, you just might miss it.  Despite the acting pedigree and costumes in the video, the video is fairly harmless.

Fairytale Fights is out on October 27th for the 360 and PS3.

Playlogic just sent over the achievement and trophy list for their upcoming four player co-op game, Fairytale Fights.  From what we've seen so far of it, the game is a brutal and violent take on classic children's fairytales complete with over the top humor.  

With achievements that count the gallons of blood spilled, the distance skated on blood, and many others, there's plenty to entertain.  We only spot 3 co-op specific achievements, those awarded for finishing the game with friends on the three difficulties, but all of them can be earned in co-op.

You'd be daffy to miss this one.

Getting closer to the games release, Fairytale Fights is showing us a little teaser of the brand of humor in the game through this new theatrical style trailer. Starting off with what you'd expect to see from a Fairytale story with sweet music and mystical glimmering text on the screen, and quickly melting into the hardcore gore-fest you will actually see with the game. All four characters show off their sweet moves in this one, co-op style!

Game Name: Fairytale Fights
Co-Op: Yes
Co-Op Type/Multiplayer Type: Local/Online
Publisher/Developer: Playlogic
Release Date: October 27, 2009

If we were to judge a book by it's cover, Fairytale Fights would appear to be all too full of bunnies, flowers, and everything nice. Fortunately for us, Playlogic took the fairytale angle and ran in the opposite direction with it. Fairytale Fights encourages you to slaughter giants, skate on blood, and have the best time in the many fairytale provinces possible.

PlayLogic has announced the released date and features of Fairytale Fights.  We've kept a watchful eye on this brutal hack and slash since it was announced, and it appears we won't be waiting much longer.  The game is set for an October 27th release date on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  Unfortunately PC owners are going to have to wait a bit longer as a 2010 release date for that version of the game has been announced.

The really good news for co-op gamers is the inclusion of a four player co-op mode through the game's storyline.  Previously Fairytale Fights was said to have a two player co-op mode, so that's definitely a treat for us!  With the promise of "Deep interactive DLC" - we can only imagine we'll be seeing plenty of other twisted fairytale characters joining are quest soon enough!

I'm going to go on record right now and say that the Naked Emperor from Fairytale Fights may be the most disturbing and the most awesome character I've seen in video games in quite some time.  There's something psychotic, and yet hilarious, about a naked guy running around with a sword lopping heads off colorful characters.  Perhaps it's the little green leaf hiding his man parts.

Don't believe me?  You need to check out the new trailer we have posted.  We also have some really slick looking character renders of Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White, the Naked Emperor, and Red Riding Hood.  If that isn't one of the craziest four player co-op teams in a long time - I don't know what is.  Too bad the game only supports two player co-op.
