This game is a breath of fresh air.

The last awesome game I played was Castle Crashers.

I wonder why are all of the fantastic games that I've played recently have been purchased from Live Arcade... :confused:

Ah well, I'm not complaining. Some of the recent Arcade titles have been spectacular (not that retail titles have been lacking).

I have to agree that this game is truly enjoyable... marvellous!!

I'm stuck

I assume when I'm looking for the foam I'm supposed to be blasted up by a robot onto a ladder, then hop over to the left and somehow use the crates to get across? I simply can't do it.

The little robot that comes out of a hole with a ladder is up on the right? I just did that part before going to bed last night

Bloody hell, well done

I'll have this finished this afternoon, I think my time might be quite high though.

Edit: Video review up on Giantbomb now.

Cheers guys.

I'm not entirely sure how good my stats actually are though. I've been demoted to 137th now.

(Maybe I was just the sixth person to finish

)

I'd love to know how many people have actually finished the game so far, as your score jumps a lot at the end of the game. The leader boards seem to crash my game if I look at anything but friends.

Wyrdo · 20 Aug 2009 at 09:37

Without trying to spoil anything, I just acquired the ground slam ability before I stopped for the night last night - how far roughly through would you say I am?

orderoftheflame · 20 Aug 2009 at 09:45

Between half and two thirds done I'd say, but it depends entirely on if you're going to get all the items.

I spent ages in the last half of the game hunting everything down and and sort of dawdled with the main objectives. So it might be pretty quick if you just follow the route.

Wyrdo · 20 Aug 2009 at 09:47

I definitely want to 100% this

It's well worth it for what it gives you imo.

None of the collectables are useless.

And it's definitely not as hard as it looks thanks to the map, it's just those last three or four that don't show on the map that are evil.

simo182 · 20 Aug 2009 at 11:02

I want to 100% it as well although I don't think I'll do it on my first play through. I'm sure I missed a grenade pick up that I collected but then died. I'll hopefully complete it tonight or at least make it to the final third. I got the foam gun about 10 minutes before I turned it off.

Vonsteve · 20 Aug 2009 at 11:24

Really like the look of this, I'm going to download the demo and see what it's all about, I'm really into my XBLA games atm.

johntmanic · 20 Aug 2009 at 13:13

Hi people, just a quick question!
Is this one of them games that when you complete it, whatever equipment/upgrades you get you have them on your next play through?

Level yes. Equipment/upgrades no.

The game wouldn't really work if you kept your equipment.

Fair enough! I may have to purchase this game!
Ill have to see if I can get some points from somewhere at a good cheap rate ha ha!

Really thinking about getting this game, played the trial but still undecided. It was kind pretty relaxed play, anyone name a few things that I can get excited about in the full game?
