Honestly I don't see the big dea
Graphics and music even though they are quite beautiful (in this game) do not make a game. I made the mistake of buying this game first instead of playing the demo, and it is not worth the price. I got very tired of jumping on the baddies heads to reach higher zones to collect puzzle pieces. I never was a fan of Mario for the exception of the Mario game on my TI83+ and 89 graphing calculator that lasted me hours of fun during math class. Braid was just not for me, I never bash games and I won't bash this one. Braid is simply a love or hate (dislike) game. In my case I did not care for this game and its pricey tag. i find the speed of the game too slow. so if you want a fast pace game with quick action Braid is not for you, so be safe and try the demo first.
I told you so,
