not seen much on the board about this one, out next week on XBLA (01/08/12 1200msp).
looks to be the best of this years Summer of arcade.

anyone else looking forward to this?

"Surviving is much more than a daily routine in the original cinematic puzzle platformer Deadlight, where players cross the American west coast in an apocalyptic world where there is no reason to exist but no alternatives for those who cling to hope."

Damn, didn't expect to read a review like that, even going by the quick look (which must be early in the game) it looked really good.

Hmm, might have to wait until it goes cheap now.

Im going to get it anyway, been waiting for something like this for a long time so even if it is short I think it will fit the bill nicely. Also I got THPS HD so all i need is 1 more game (dust) from summer of arcade to get 400MSP back.

Oh I dunno it depends on what you are into.

Only thing that didnt really spike my interest was the Kinect game. Everything else seems good!

Eurogamer have given it 7/10 but said it only lasts 2 hours :eek:

8.5 from IGN. Quite mixed here!

most are saying that it starts strongly, but goes way downhill after the gameplay change in the second third.

Musty Pie · 1 Aug 2012 at 11:12

Meh just bought it! Have loads of points sitting there doing nothing.

Cant get home to play it until tonight but looking forward to it!

I like what i have played of it so far. The checkpoints are also quite forgiving, I hate having to recover loads of ground after dying.

Im stuck on last section of rats lair cant make the jump over th water to bridge

I think this game is awesome and is the best Arcade game for a long time. Graphics are great and the overall experience is smooth and worth playing although the price is a bit steep considering how short the game is but there is a degree of re-playability to it so it's not all bad I guess lol.

To the guy stuck on the rat bit. It is where you use a lift to get to a higher part and the bridge you need to jump to is raised upright? If so there is a crate at the bottom of the lift that you can put on the lift and use that to make the jump?
