7.5

Watched that video review last night and am very interested in trying this game out. Looks very good fun.

Bought this yesterday and played it for several hours in local co-op, 7.5 is poor score for such a fun game.For me this is one of the best games of the year let alone best downloadable game. You lot that haven't tried it yet should.
Its exactly what the XBLA should be providing instead of endless scrolling shooter clones.

 

[Kyle009]

Rumple, how long would you say the game takes to complete? I'm definitely interested though, think it could be excellent fun.

Just bought it today and had an hour or so on it. Really enjoying it but it seems to get quite hard quite quick... or maybe I am just rubbish at it. If anyone fancies some co-op just let me know

Was really looking forward to this one but its not for me. 1200 points for Braid is fine, that game is genius, but for this? Granted I don't know what the multiplayer is like but I found the trial really repetitive and dull.

 

[Ol!ver]

Hmm, tempted by this and The Last Guy on PSN - how long before someone brings out a console that's JUST for downloadable games like this?

 

[dannyjo22]

Undecided tbh. Quite liked it, but pretty pointless if none of my friends/fl have it. Not bad.

 

[Soulja]

looks fun, i'll give them demo a go later.

 

[bakes0310]

dl demo now, no expectations on this just thought id give it ago.

 

[Shamikebab]

God the amount of XBLA games that i need to play is just queuing up, still need to get BCR and Braid as well

 

[bakes0310]

Played the demo now ive just bought it, loved for someone to join me in a game

This game is awesome.

 

[dannyjo22]

Yeah after another look at it, i'm going to buy it. Quite expensive but it is good fun.

 

[da_mic_1530]

looks too newgroundsy

GOD trying to find an online game on this is TORTURE.

Ok find custom game...

"Game is no longer available". What do you mean game is no longer available? I'm trying to load the list of games.

Try again...

Oh finally I get to the list...oh wait...what is it doing now? It's crashed.

Restart the 360.

Find custom game...

Finally it's loaded. Join game....

...

...

Game is no longer available. FFS.

Back to the menu... WHY BACK TO THE MENU? WHY CAN'T IT JUST REFRESH THE DAMN LIST?

Ok find custom game. Ok list loaded. Ok join this game. Ready. FINALLY...select char...everyone else is 30 levels above me. The host leaves the game because of this. OH MY GOD. NEED SOME KIND OF LEVEL RANGE SEARCH FEATURE.

HELL. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLY POOR.

 

[dannyjo22]

A bit expensive but it's the best XBLA game i've purchased. Just going through on my own. At about level 10.

Just played the demo, seemed pretty fun tbh. Still not sure though!

The game is huge, i've been playing on and off all day and i'm no way near the end. Then you have all the weapons, collectables, multiplayer, different characters etc. For the price about £7 it's fast becoming my favourite non music game this year.

I'd say at an estimate there are 20-30 hrs gameplay in this and i'm level 27 from 99.

Level 99 will take a lot of grinding, i managed to beat the end boss on one of my characters at level 26 i think. With a fair few hours on that character alone.

It's great fun though.
