I had it and got really bored with it. For the first couple of hours its pretty cool and the puzzles to solve are neat and thought provoking, but after a while I just couldn't stay into it and would think of playing something else.
If you can, drop $4 ro $5 on a rental to see if you like it. And yes I heard it was short, but I never finished it.

I didnt really like it all that much. It just didnt interest me at all. It got kinda boring after awhile.

i thought the game was awesome. and it is a bit on the short side if all you do is run like mad from one puzzle to the next. take your time, enjoy the scenery. they didn't make it one of the best looking games of all time for no reason. they give you great camera control...use it!

hmmm. thats a tough one. i really liked this game. and the ending almost brought a tear to my eye. but i don't know if i would pay $50 for it with all the other games looming over it. i would say get a used copy, or perhaps trade for it if your into that (gametz.com)

I almost always buy used games. I suggested renting it even, you could probably finish the game over a week or a weekend. I guess you weren't talking about us in this thread though were you?
'Bout the only games I buy new are the big race games ie. GT3, and I did just get WRC, but I had paid on it until it came out so I only owed about $18 when I went to get it. I like pre-ordering because it is almost like layaway, plus if the game stinks or I just don't like it I trade it in for something else. That is one thing I like about Software Etc.
I have gotten several games off eBay, and even sold several. I hope you rent it first though because although it is a cool game, I think you could finish it pretty fast, and once you have played through it I don't think there would be a reason to play through it again.

Well, there are a few lurking at these forums that assume that we can all just go out and buy any game that comes along. But mostly the online reviews that almost always end in "This is a MUST BUY game! Get it today!" That is so irritating.
If I can find it to rent, or find it used or something, I'll probably give it a go. Thanks for the input (:

Your welcome for the input, and your are right about that. And those are the guys (or gals) that don't have to work to buy groceries or pay the mortgage.
I think the developers get on these review sites (videogamereview.com comes to mind) and pump up the games they did.
That is why I like renting or getting a game from Software Etc. - If I don't like it, back it goes. :thumbsup:

make sure you're thinking like your in the game world. don't think hmmm wut would i do? think hmmm wut would the lil twig boy do? (besides hit up the girlie doggie style ) and make sure you look at everything. use the camera control, lots of time it's right in front of you, but you didn't see it
