It's Not the Size of the (Snoop) Dogg in the Fight...

...it's the fun of the game in which he fights. And even though our favorite ginned-and-juiced hip-hop star may be calling himself a lion these days, the Blaxploitation-inspired fighting game is still Way of the Dogg. Though it would appear to be less Street Fighter and more Parappa the Rapper, with button combinations appearing onscreen that need to be matched to the beat.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind...Of course, when you're stoned off your ass, most things are.

Check out some video of Snoop in production after the jump

So the way I see it, this will end up as either a surprisingly good rhythm game, or the next Shaq Fu. Either way, we all win! Also, kind of impressed they're going for a full XBLA/PSN game instead of the standard iOS route taken these days.

Also, I'm getting some subtle hints in the video that Snoop may have indulged in marijuana during his career, which I found quite shocking! Has anyone else ever noticed his endorsement of cannabis? Because he hides it really well...

Nice!  It sounds like Bust-A-Groove, and that was one of my favorite games on the PS1!

@Someguy 'Race For Your Life Charlie Brown'

"Hey, lets send our kids to a summer camp with no parental supervision, substandard food, inadequate shelter and a draconian pecking order. And it all culminates with a week long rafting race through dangerous rapids, below freezing weather, construction zones using TNT, and the contestants are encouraged to try to murder each other."

Its like Charles Schulz meets The Hunger Games.
