Deathjam Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Hmmm. I must be the only one that wasn't getting that immediate 'WOW' factor that everyone else got. Must be because I had just played Dead Space after getting it that day and was already..'buzzing' after that. That and I did suck at the controls a bit. Will have to go back and give it another go.
Cube Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 This game is awesome. Looks like I may have to increase my list to four great platformers. The time trial mode is amazing. I've only done the tutorial level in the time trial mode, but after a lot of practice I'm currently 3rd.
gaggle64 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Just played the demo. I need this. I need this in my life. Now.
Goron_3 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Just played the demo, and yeah, it's incredible. The controls are VERY well thought out too, i'm very impressive. Now gotta choose between this, gears of war 2, Far Cry 2, Dead Space, PES 09...eugh so many games so little time/money
spirited away Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 i'm very impressive. Are you now? EA might be my Publisher of the year at this rate - they're getting so many things right atm.
flameboy Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Just played the demo again...Cannot believe how different this feels to everything else. Like I said though can only afford Resistance 2 and LBP so this will have to wait, unless something else gives....
Cube Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 EA might be my Publisher of the year at this rate - they're getting so many things right atm. The strange thing about EA's good games is that I never associate them wit EA. After playing this demo, it feels a lot like the "Portal" of Orange Box 2. Edit: I also had to swap the shoulder button controls around. I could not jump at all with LB.

After playing this demo, it feels a lot like the "Portal" of Orange Box 2. Presentation-wise I can see the resemblance; but to me it doesn't feel like Portal - pace-wise especially. Thinking about it...how cool would a level editor be?
Daft Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Really enjoyed the demo. It's really exciting to play. Can't wait for the full game.
tapedeck Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 The time trial mode is amazing. I've only done the tutorial level in the time trial mode, but after a lot of practice I'm currently 3rd. It says I need a code to g tinto time trial mode?! (PS3)
martinist Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 It says I need a code to g tinto time trial mode?! (PS3) you need to pre-order the game to get the code. I pre-ordered months ago and they still haven't e-mailed me it yet.
Shorty Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I really like this! The control scheme totally took me by surprise but it really works and makes the game great fun. The demo really left me wanting more, the way you could see the next red jump but not get to it because the trial was over... sneaky! Totally looking forward to this game now.
Ganepark32 Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Downloaded this after Banjo and I have to say.... wow! I had only seen little bits and pieces of this and it wasn't even on my purchase radar but after playing the demo through several times, I have to say I love it. It's replaced Banjo on my list for games this xmas. This is why I love my 360. I can download a demo of the game before it's out and see what it's like. If I hadn't of been able to download the demo, I'd have probably not bothered getting this. Edit: Scratch that. Got the song.
Shorty Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Demo was ok. It was too much to learn in the tutorial which made a little difficult to enjoy it fully, but the concept looks good. I was just about to pre order it but the price got me worried. I'm used to high prices here but 55 plus shipping is pushing it. Eh? Too much to learn? LB=up moves, LT=down moves, RB=turn around, RT=punch/shoot, Y=disarm. That's really all you need to know, and I remembered all that from my first play through, I didn't look it up just then to type it...
Guest Stefkov Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 It wasn't too much to learn. It was all you needed to learn to play the game. It was only a few button presses... I thought it was fantastic. Completely sold it for me. Now to find the money.
Tales Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Played the demo this morning. I like the concept and the graphical style is pretty cool. I was about to pre order it just now but the price got me worried. I'm used to high prices over here but 55 plus shipping is pushing it.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Think i will go and download the demo for this now... Don't know anything about it but with so many ppl saying the demo is good i shall give it a go!
Dyson Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 *looks at all Battlefield games post-BF1942* Also I pay for Gold for more than just this demo, but nice spin you got there.
Cube Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 too bad you have to pay for Gold to get the demo. Its DICE it was going to be a good game. Since when have they ever made a bad or uninventive game? I'm fairly sure that this is their first good console game..
Dyson Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Unless you want them early, in which case you have to pay for Gold Qore.
Cube Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Unless you want them early, in which case you have to pay for Gold Qore. So it really isn't that much different to how the 360 does demos.
Dyson Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 So it really isn't that much different to how the 360 does demos. Yep, exactly.
flameboy Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Unless you want them early, in which case you have to pay for Gold Qore. That's not how Qore works though...thats only for beta's mostly.... Plus Qore is only in the US so doesn't really matter to most users on here.
