Braid is released on XBLA today and it looks like a fun little game but it costs 1200MS points. It's getting very good reviews, Eurogamer have given it a 10/10 and IGN gave it 8.8. :)

I'll be buying it as soon as I can get more MS points.
Has anyone got this yet and what do you think to it? Is it worth the money?

Played the trial this morning, very nice game and very stylish. 1200 points is too much though IMO, so I don't think I will be buying it.
 
That is an odd game. I thought it was pretty standard at first but the latter levels seem pretty cool and the artistic style is really nice. Bit expensive, might read a few reviews but I enjoyed the trial.
 
I've seen two very positive reviews now, in EDGE 9/10 and 10/10 on Eurogamer. There's also an argument on that site for why it's at a > $15 or 1200MSP price point (summary economics of not being another high acclaimed but low selling title).

Very tempted but have loads of games on the go, so like Lost Winds on Wii may put off until a rainy day.
 
its really nice but I cant justify the points. I wish it was 800 and id snap it up. I really like it though.
 
Demo is quite fun! Fun little game very lush looking art and great music.. I don't think its worth 1200 points though, i'd say more like half that
 
IMO not worth 1200 points.
Looks great and plays well, although i just couldn't get the last two pieces in the first world :confused:
 
I played the trial last night and really enjoyed it. 1200 points is a bit much though, annoyingly I also have 1100 in my account just now.
 
Is this the game that they were saying its the most expensive arcade game to come to the marketplace?

Seen some gameplay videos and it does look pretty good.
 
Its expensive but a very clever little game, have done all of the first world but some in the 2nd have got me absolutely stumped!!
