    amazing visuals, the PC version is 19.99 now, so PSN and PC have the same price. This universe would fit great in a MMORPF but its already cool as a sidescroller, I'll get it for PS3 next holiday

    A visual and gameplay treat. Definately worth getting.

    This is one of the best and most beautiful games ever. But I have to play it alone to see it's greatness. Also I played through it on hard mode... I could also say this is the most beautiful game ever. You need to see this.

    comes out on PSN on Oct 22. If I have enough cash leftover from Uncharted and Brutal Legend, I'm picking this up for sure. You don't see platformers like this anymore

    @gamerbaboo it runs great on my 9600gso 512mb ddr3

    I think I'm going to pick this up when it arrives on XBLA. This looks like a game that would be enhanced with online co-op. I'm suprised it only had local co-op on PC.

    looks like a castlevania/folklore mix sort of.
    I'm gonna buy it when i get my new rig

    Looks stunning....by far the best side-scroller I have seen in years.

    I hear alot of complaining about the prices but now its 22$ on steam, i highly recommend this game if anyone ever played the masterpiece The Lost vikings....man brings back memories when i was a kid.
    Heck im even dowloading it right now on steam. so run and get before the price goes back up, hurry!!!

    Demo was fun, but paying for sidescrollers in THIS economy? Meh.

  • potatopower1995

    Kevin! I thought you had declared you would make no reference to Lost Vikings on the Hot Spot! Meh, oh well.

    dudefist

    yes, i tried in on some laptops and it doesn't work, you need shader model 3 and physx enabled cards, (9800GT and above apparently)

    sorry to fall into the old game comparing trap but i feel it has to be said aztake really is superior to this game !!!

  • dudefist

    Posted Aug 10, 2009 12:21 pm PT

    I don't see what the problem is with the price, £20 seems fair enough. My criticism is that this looks more like something you'd expect to have found in the 90s. For a 2D physics based puzzle game I think I'll stick to the fantastic World of Goo.

    Five hours? My Steam stats said I spent nine hours getting through the story.

  • Blubadox

    Posted Jul 25, 2009 11:25 pm PT

    I bought this game, it's very entertaining.....a bit short though.

  • chandu83

    Posted Jul 22, 2009 3:17 pm PT

    its a little too steep at the moment.

  • MarcioHuser

    Posted Jul 21, 2009 6:31 pm PT

    The demo is awesome but the price is far too much what I would pay for it. For $19.99 we could start talking, but $29.99 is a steal

  • MaI45g9K

    wow its also on ps3 (psn) so downloading this on ps3

  • rambolito

    It looks cute. Been a long time for me having played a platform game, guess Commander Keen was the last one. I'll have a shot at this one, just for old times sake that is.

  • Eldramesha

    Posted Jul 18, 2009 5:07 pm PT

    Played the demo, it's solid but the price is a bit high for my taste like he said.

  • grove12345

    Posted Jul 16, 2009 9:28 pm PT

    this game looks great. But its for PC, PS3... not 360... its only like 600MB. So what gives.

    Maybe Lives strict rules upset the devs.

    Wait found out atlus is doing the 360 version

    Look pretty fun, I might buy it because of it's coop.

    Never played a game where the boxes are more helpful?
    How dare you besmirch my precious companion cube?

    hmmm, trine is easy but fun, frustrating but satisfying, its gorgeous but there's problems etc.... dude needs to make up his mind. he just keeps going in circles "it's good...but it's not" over and over

    Might as he tried, he did make a Lost Viking reference after all....!

  • sub-raid

    Posted Jul 14, 2009 2:00 pm PT

    wow i really want to play this game.

  • GamingFan96

    Posted Jul 14, 2009 3:26 am PT

    Game is really small.About 550mb.

  • GamingFan96

    Posted Jul 14, 2009 3:25 am PT

    This is great game I have it.

    Doesn't seem like a bad way to spend spare time on the weekends. It's nice to see some good looking side scrollers lately. I'll definitely have to give this a try.

    @UFO2012 You can download it on the PC from STEAM. http://store.steampowered.com/app/35700/ So you don't have to get the DVD.

  • GamerBaboo

    Posted Jul 13, 2009 8:10 am PT

    Well, looks like Im gonna have to skip some pizzas.. this one deserves a try finally, after x486 times.

  • UFO2012

    Posted Jul 12, 2009 4:08 pm PT

    He forgets to mention that the PC version is on a dvd and the PS3 version will be just a download. I'd rather pay 10 bucks more for a dvd in a case full of artwork than just something that fills up my PS3 HD.

    Best Sidescroller Ever Made!!!So wait , this game is not worth 30 bucks now? ROFL...Good Lord, How the hell does anyone expect any modern developer to survive these days, thinking hard/successful efforts are not worth the cost. The reviewer indicates that it's odd that it' s cheaper on the PS3 ??.... first off what exclusive game made it worth the money to buy that expensive console but , in his opinion, this game is too expensive? With 5 hours of quality gameplay and replayability up the a#@! ROFL! Lowering the cost of this game is the best thing that platform has done yet since it's launch. I mean what a generation of whinners this one has turned out to be. This game is F#$@in gorgeous and brilliant on a game mechanic level and still we get complaints boooo hooo it's not bobin on my knob for my 30 bucks. Look , if you have enough money to own a machine to run this side scrolling work of art , then you obviously have enough money to pony up to buy this game for the price it's worth , which is easily 30 bucks. If you've ever liked a sidescroller and wanted to see one become something all around amazing.. buy this game! On the flip side it's bomb enough to drag you in even if you don't like sidescrollers , so buy it anyway. It's the king of the genre now, IMO! Hat's off to FrozenByte!

    I'd say boxes were pretty helpful in Portal too
