"This isn't just a great game; it's also an outstanding value. The single-player campaign is lengthy, and with hidden collectibles to find and leaderboard times to improve, it's rewarding to return to these levels again and again. When you toss in the separate, excellent multiplayer campaign, the sheer amount of great stuff you get for your 800 Microsoft points is pretty amazing. Whether you're a fan of the original game or you've never sploded before, you're sure to have a blast with Ms. 'Splosion Man."

Wow, Gamespot really loved it! Might have to download the trial and see how it holds up.

Yea it really does. Arcade games can be fantastic, but they need more.

Great score. I've noticed that GS gives high scores to arcade games. I guess they are casual gamers.

obviously you've never played the original splosion man, or super meat boy for that matter, or trials hd (i can keep going if you like)...

nothing casual about these games.

Just add in Shadow Complex because that's the best one. Ok now you can stop.

There is no need to label gamers, but unfortunately people often do this to maintain the "us versus them" mentality.

Deserves higher. Splosino man is one of the best if not best xbla games this generation with geometry wars 2, castle crashers, snoopy, catan, and braid. I didn't care for any other xbla game but somehow every game scores high. Get some standards in place for reviews. Journey is going to score 9s and 10s across the board and I will die before I play that pos.

You realize their last game, Flower, has a lower metacritic score than this game, right? Not sure why you even brought Journey into this, nor why you believe it's a "pos". :?

Art direction looks poor, but the gameplay looks decent enough. Might check it out during a Steam sale.

A Steam listing popped up earlier this month so I figure it's just a timed exclusive like Limbo.

Oh yeah? Well that´s good.

Seems quite odd to me limiting yourself like that, whatever floats your boat though I guess.

I pretty much do that too, although not because I'm on some silly crusade against MS. I only buy LIVE if there's a game coming out I want to play on it, and I really only buy 360 exclusives at that. Seems stupid (a 360 for exclusives? :o ), but hey...

Not really the same thing as him. He isn't buying a game because it's on the 360 and waiting for a nonexistent PS3 version. I just find it odd to limit yourself if you have the option to play a game, gamers shouldn't really care about the system that much (at least that's what I think).

Downloaded it. Haven't played it yet. I'm assuming it's as good as Splosion man though so I'm expecting it to be good.

You do know that not every XBLA game ends up on PSN? Twisted Pixel have never released a game on PSN.

'Splosion man was pretty darn good...better than a lot of disc based games this generation. Ms. 'Splosion Man looks to carry on that tradition.

Arcade / PSN are both really getting some quality games.

Some of us own PCs and other platforms too, and prefer to play the better versions of multiplats and/or the ones that don't make me pay for 60$ LIVE.
