Best game on XBLA? Wow. Especially so coming from someone who has played more XBLA and Indie games than I care to think about, too.

I have not been following this too avidly until a couple of podcasts I listen to mentioned it at E3; the basic impression I get is that it's N+ on crack but with some good characterisation thrown in. Sounds like a solid premise and I am very keen to try out the demo - not sure the 10 score is appropriate for all gamers, but I'm guessing you can probably tell if you're in the target audience for the game pretty quick, and it does definitely seem to have the 'love it or loathe it' impression about it.

If you like N+, you'll definitely like this. It makes N+ feel like a kids game in places though

I'm going to try the trial on Wednesday but from what I have seen it's leaving me cold. I didn't like N+ either so maybe that's an indicator.

[rmoxon]

N+ was really hard in the later levels.

If this is alot harder still, well that scares me a bit.

Been watching someone here play it on his lunch breaks. And to be honest, it doesn't look like my kind of game at all.

Try, die, try, die, try, die...

No thanks.

[Matt]

That kind of score demands you at least check out the title. Downloading now....

[SUMIRE]

Downloading now? is it even out yet? ...a 10, jeez, it must be amazing.

I am ALL over this wednesday.
Loved N+ and this style of game generally.
Also Teh Internets! giving you free DLC with new levels, a massive PLUS!

[Matt]

Is this out yet? I followed the link and it was just the trailer.

[Family Fry]

It's out Wednesday for 1200 points.

[Matt]

Caught me out - didn't think this site reviewed games until they'd been out at least 6 months!

[toythatkills]

That'll learn ya

Not massively clear, I can't get a good photo, but this is my hand after a short session on Super Meat Boy.

[Synthesthesia]

How/why is your hand like that?

I can't wait for this, been watching it for ages N+ is one of the best arcade games on there..so I have no doubt that this is probably going to be my favourate one yet. Even harder sits well with me, loved the later levels in N+ and considering the amount of control it looks like you have over meat boy even in the air...

I'm buying this one without even trying the trial
