This is released today on the Live Arcade, anyone getting this? Looks quite good and I'll definitely be checking out the trial later today.

Abooie · 22 Jul 2009 at 08:22

I loved the Maw so I'll definately be checking this out.

Looks very Cloning Clyde, which was a good game.

Soulja · 22 Jul 2009 at 09:58

That actually looks quite good and quite mad. I shall give the trial a blast.

Boom tish.

Looks pretty good.Think i'll try the demo and see what it's like.

Wyrdo · 22 Jul 2009 at 12:57

Someone must have played this by now? Any good?

JaFFa · 22 Jul 2009 at 21:18

Played the trial, the presentation is top notch, it's essentially a N+ type game, reviews are very high for this, but I don't think I'll bother. might consider it on at half price.

Demo was good, but not sure if it'd keep my interest for long. The gameplay was fun and very slick but there's simply too many games out there to play for me to pick this up just yet.

Got to save my little points for Shadow Complex!

Very slick, very quick and easy game to get into!

Enjoyed the trial and I'm going to buy when I've bought some xbox points

Abooie · 23 Jul 2009 at 14:07

After the Maw and the first few levels I was expecting an easier ride; not that I'm complaining though.

I'd describe it as a cross between N+ and Cloning Clyde and it's going to see a lot of my time.

thought the demo was pretty good, but can imagine getting really frustrated with the full version

Psyche1873 · 23 Jul 2009 at 23:49

I thought the exact same and I'm still undecided whether to just take the plunge or keep the points to put towards shadow complex.

MikGriff · 24 Jul 2009 at 00:49

Bought this today, it's a little gem

Margaret · 2 Aug 2009 at 18:45

I think it's great and definitely worth the buy, good humour and achievements aren't too hard nor too easy.

Enjoying what I've played on it though I tried playing multiplayer at the weekend with Soulja and the lag made it unplayable

Not sure if that's the fault of the game or his poo connection though

I tried the MP with 2 mates as well and it was fine for about 20 mins and then it became completely unplayable.

I finished the single player and whilst I really enjoyed 90% I did find some of it rather frustrating. I would recommend though, a ton of stuff to do for 800 points.

Yeah that's pretty much what happened to us, was great at first.

OI! I have an awesome 33.6k connection actually!

I got this and i'm enjoying it.Mostly.
Some bits are frustrating.The first boss had me shouting a bit!
A lot of the levels just require you to remember things.It tends to shove you somewhere that'll kill you first time around so when you restart you just have to remember what killed you.
