I'm suprised no one has mentioned this game much as it's released tomorrow night.

Anyone looking forward to it? I certainly am. Although I posted in a previous thread I hate a lot of the 2D games which are currently out, I saw the quicklook for this on giant bomb and got really excited. It just looks so original!

Review - http://www.giantbomb.com/limbo/61-30380/reviews/

Are people not interested or do not a lot know about it.
 
I can not wait for this!

I played the flash game recently but not much of it as it's a bit hard to play on laptop I felt. But I will deffo be picking this up.

I hope they release it on the Iphone or something too.

It's being published by MS as part of their Summer of Arcade so unlikely any time soon. That being said Braid was the same but eventually came to the PS3 a year later.

Like all here I can't wait for this tomorrow. Looks stunning.
 
I guess the overall game length isn't that much of a problem for me when I think about it, having paid 3 - 4x that amount for games that are only twice as long, i.e. CoD, but there seems to be no replayability other than doing the game again. From the gametrailers.com review there's about 7 achievements, there's little or no story to wrap your head around and there's no extra bits like side puzzles / extra levels. You'd think for how simplistic the games design is they could have shoved a level editor in and allowed people to create/share custom levels or something just to extend game life.

I'll probably still get it, it looks too good to miss, one of those rare brilliant games, but I guess I'm just a little disappointed at what you actually get.

Just had a quick look and for all the 'cheevo lovers like me there are only 12 most from what I can tell you should pick up on the first play through. Only 1 would require a replay and you might even get that first time if you are good enough I guess.

I will still be getting this as I think it looks utterly fantastic and is a break from the norm for what I usually play. Might even help mellow me out a bit lol :p

I'd imagine in a years time you'll probably dust it off and go for a full replay and love it!
