"As I've mentioned, VVVVVV is fairly short, taking around three hours to complete, and another couple - plus a great deal of skill and patience - to retrieve all of its collectable trinkets. Bearing that in mind, the asking price of £9 ($15, €10) might seem pretty steep. Then again, look past its lo-fi style and you'll realise its production values are hardly stingy, with unlockable time trials and other Easter-egg modes, and generally slick presentation. More to the point, it's excellent for its entire length. How many big-budget developments can say that?"

It was fun from what I played but not worth that price tag to me.

From Giant Bomb's Quick Look, the game looked like a lot of fun. I just wish it was on PSN and XBox Live. I also really hope they lower the price. As fun as the game looks, $15 is just too much. VVVVVV is clearly better suited at a $10 price.

Looks quite fun. Might give it a go when the price drops.

Yeah it is awesome, but at about 2 hours of gameplay, not terribly worth $15.
