Great experience, with unforgetable memories.
The story is simple, an angry fetus in a jar bandagenapped Meat Boys' girlfriend, Bandage Girl who is made completely out of bandages. You gotta go save her. Now this is where the fun starts. You run around levels filled with traps to get to your girlfriend at the end. Now you die. And you die a lot. A LOT. This can be EXTREMELY frustrating, yet so fun, because at the end, you get to see all the little Meat Boys runnin' around blowing up into splatters of blood and meat. This is what makes the game fun though is the setting of difficulty. That sense of accomplishment when you finally beat the level you've been on for an hour, sweating from all of the rage that has built up inside your gamers' soul. This, on the other hand can piss people off. Half of these ratings were probably all about how this game is impossible and is so stupid. Well screw them.
The graphics and stuff are all so detailed and amazing like a Blu-Ray movie. No, i'm just joking. This game is in 8-bit so it's not like it's highly detailed but, it's still fun to watch blood pixels fly all over the place. The character designs however are pretty funny, like a giant, down-syndrome piece of meat, and a walking piece of poop. That's funny and creative stuff.....I guess.
The soundtrack is great because it's all in that retro-style synthesizer-like music. It kinda reminds you of the old times when string orchestras were lame and were for nerds.
Oh, and one more thing. This game is hard. At least hard as in the "you will die more than ten thousand times, screaming at your TV while you think about why you kicked your dog" kind of way.
Super Meat Boy is fun, and should be played by anyone that actually appreciates retro games that were actually somewhat difficult. It's a reminder to us, because we sometimes forget why we love the retro and retro-style games. Because theyre just plain fun.
