    This game is awful!!1
    The previous Larry's were great - wry smutty humor with good game play. This game sucks! The game play is terrible, the animation is awful. I've managed to get the character stuck in a wall and between walls. You can't talk to other characters or look at objects like in the past games. I'm glad I only paid $3 - yet I still feel ripped off!!

    It's NOT a bust, but there are BIG busts in it!3
    I had to write this review since EVERY review I found before has thus been negative or downright brutal. Take it from soneone who ACTUALLY beat the game and didn't play it for five minutes because they were pissed off and don't know what a Larry game is all about. This game is fun! Granted, there are parts where the graphics can get choppy or the controls are frustrating. But as a whole the game is worth the play. If you are a LSL fan you are doing a disservice to yourself by not playing Larry 9 (I still haven't found the missing floppies for LSL 4...lol).

    The Game does start out slow. Once you get to the first dreamscape (the Western) I guarantee you will be hooked. The story line is entertaining and Loveage keeps you laughing with his one liners and off-the-wall behavior.

    No this one isn't written by Al Lowe, and no you don't get to play our beloved Larry, but it's fun nonetheless. There is a lot of crude humor, women in scantily clad outfits, and tons of sexual innuendos and puns (yes buns too my fellow pervs).

    The bottom line is simple, if you are a fan of LSL, you need to give this game a shot. The graphics are better than any we have seen before, but still hold that comical and cartoonish tinge to 'em. True, there is no full frontal nudity or gratuitous sex scene depicted in the cutscenes like a lot of games are heading towards, but hell that never stopped Larry fans before...we're used to not scoring right? Only in the game right? ;) I promise you though, this one has a "happy ending."

    To get there though is tough, this is not an easy game; it took me over twenty hours to reach the end and there are several scenes or scenarios that you will probably have to do darn near 10+ times (maybe even closer to 20-30...lol).

    But persevere and you won't be let down. You'll laugh and enjoy the ride...ahem... the whole way through. As Larry would say, "Oh yeah!"

    The game also has the usual gambit of minigames/challenges incorporated inside. You won't be looking for secret tokens (YEAH BABY!) but instead have to seek out 100 Larry Awards (golden statues) hidden throughout the film studio. There are also numerous girls to try and score with and also several stunt races to complete for special awards. Even if you've beat the main missions in the game and reached the grand finale, you can still attempt to accomplish these challenges for hours of extra gameplay. Good luck fellow leisure suiters!

    Be advised, I played the game on PS3 and had also tried it on the PC. For the life of me I couldn't get it to work properly on the PC with my controller. Using a keyboard was horrific and I don't recommend this at all. Go with the console version!

    Buy this! If you would like to own the worst game ever.1
    I was always a huge fan of Leisure Suit Larry, he's absolutely hilarious and I enjoyed the not-so-hard side missions, a nice change of pace and besides who in their right mind plays Leisure Suit Larry for a challenge? LSL has been more about relaxing and getting in some laughs. WOW! Is Box Office Bust a...bust. They even put in the title warning you not to buy it. Its terrible. Horrible. Horrendous and the rest of the words you can think of that mean 'bad'. I almost want to projectile vomit as Im writing this review because Im thinking about playing it. The camera views randomly change when you need them NOT to change, when u do want them to change they wont??? Thats bassackwards. Also, the inside of every building has 1 camera view and many things obstructing your view which is SOOO irritating. The controls are stupid, its the worst layout Ive ever seen probley (in my life). Not only that but he can sprint for like...2 feet then its back to a crawl. Ive spent more time trying to get Larry to get unstuck and go where I want him than my actual progression in the game. Some how, he has turned into a superhero and can do wall jumps and stuff now which are ridiculously hard to do, the timing has to be PERFECT. Anytime you have to jump to go somewhere, prepare to do it 1000 times because once again, when you dont want him to do something...he does it...wall jumping you completely away from your target area. Ive been playing it for about an hour and a half now and its already in my stack to take to Gamestop. I am stupified that the company who made this (Funsta I guess??) is in business at all. LSL is now dead, this game has killed any chance for LSL to appear on another box in the future, play and you'll feel me. Dont buy this, its a waste of cash...seriously. If you dont want to believe me thats fine, I have already fallen victim. I HIGHLY suggest renting (if video stores even have the patience to put this miserable attempt at profit on the shelves) prior to buying.

    Interesting idea, poorly implemented1
    Don't let nostalgia cause you to buy this game. When people say it's hard to play, they mean it!

    I adore Lemmings games. I've played them all, and this is pretty much the only one I gave up on without completing.

    The controls are a mess. Much of the challenge here is just figuring out how to move around in 3D and view what's happening. This was a very early Playstation game - and it shows.

    It's addictive!4
    This game is mindless fun! Lemmings is a popular computer game which has been available for several years. It was made for the Playstation 1, but will play on the PS2. It's not a violent game like Quake or Doom, but don't let that stop you; it's still a blast! How it works: You must control a number of lemmings as they make their way across hostile landscapes, directing them into the exit which you must find. Your lemmings drop out of a trapdoor and will go to their demise unless you stop them. Your lemmings, fortunately, have useful skills like building bridges or blocking other lemmings, thus assisting you in preventing disaster. But they just keep coming! Not complex, but totally addictive!

    nostalgic fever5
    this game is the reason of who i am today, it is the game that gave my life a meaning for the first time, it will always remain in my heart as the 2nd best game ever created after the legend of zelda: ocarina of time...

    A sci-fi/action RPG from acclaimed developer Gearbox, Borderlands combines the best in first-person action gaming with elements of a traditional role-playing game (RPG). The excitement of this hybridization is further magnified by the game's groundbreaking content generation system which allows for a near-endless variety in missions, environments, enemies, weapons, item drops and character customization, making the game's single player, multiplayer and online campaigns not to be missed.

    Story
    In a distant future, the planets at the outer edges of the galaxy have become a beacon to fortune seekers and those yearning for a better life off world. But there are no guarantees in deep space. Pandora, one of these distant planets, was reported to be rich in untapped mineral wealth, and so drew many hoping to get rich quick, but in the end little was found beyond the scattered ruins of a past alien civilization. With nothing to gain, any who could soon abandoned Pandora, leaving those who remained to deal with the lawlessness of a world gone bust, and the mystery of the long-dead alien civilization. But as chaotic as these times were, there were worse days yet to come. After several years the planet's huge orbit slowly brought it near to its sun and once unknown and horrifying creatures sprang from their long hibernation to terrify the stranded colonists. The only hope of the colonists seems to be a vault discovered in the side of a mountainside, rumored to contain alien technology and secrets about Pandora. Will this discovery be the colonist's salvation or their end? Discover their fate in Borderlands.

    Gameplay
    As in a traditional RPG, Borderlands is built around the continual leveling of characters as they delve into quests. These quests include both story-driven adventures and side quests that offer players rewards such as items exclusive to quest completion and/or forward movement of the story. Players can look forward to action set in both single player and multiplayer modes--including co-op play--as well as vehicular combat, literally thousands of different types of weapons that change each time you play and randomly generated maps and map features.

    Playable Characters
    Borderlands features several playable characters, each with its own unique backstory, abilities and skills. Skills can be leveled up, allowing for improvement of things like health, accuracy with weapons and capacity for items. In addition to this, characters possess unique skill tree development, ensuring that each will develop differently regardless of time spend leveling them up.

    Key Game Features

  • Co-op Design - Borderlands is built from the ground up to be an exciting, intuitive cooperative experience for up to four players simultaneously that rewards players who work together and invest in co-op skills. Split screen is also supported.
  • FPS Gameplay - In this role-playing shooter, choose one of four distinct characters, each with their own individual skill sets. As your character grows throughout this fast-paced FPS, you choose and customize your abilities to suit your style of play.
  • Art Style - The game's distinctive art style combines traditional rendering techniques with hand-drawn textures to paint a bold and eye-catching spin on the FPS genre.
  • Vehicular Combat - Jump behind the wheel and engage in high-speed vehicle-to-vehicle combat, complete with spectacular explosions and road-killed Skags.
  • Frontier Planet - Search the wasteland planet of Pandora for the legendary alien vault. Fight your way through bandits, discover nine native (and aggressive) creatures, and help the few settlers on the planet in your search for a Vault rumored to contain a great prize - if it even exists.

    Borders on Game of the Year territory...5
    this is my first review, hope it's helpful (feel free to leave a comment and tell me what i did wrong/right). anyway, on with the amateur ramblings!

    when i first saw the trailers for Borderlands a couple of months ago, i said to myself "that looks amazing (in both the graphical and gameplay departments), but it seems to be trying way too hard". i also thought it looked like what Fallout 3 would've been if it was a FPS with RPG elements as opposed to the RPG with FPS view that it is.

    as a bit of side information, i got Killzone 2 a week ago and have been playing it nonstop. i've already beaten it twice and i've spent pretty much every waking moment (to my girlfriend's annoyance) playing the campaign or the multiplayer. when i woke up today there was a delivery on my stoop. i told myself i'd open up Borderlands first (i also bought Resistance 2 and a few old school PS1 games (FFIX!)) and play it til the first save or checkpoint. this was at 11am, i'm writing this review at 11:30pm and save for going to dinner with my friends and dropping my sister off at the dorms, i've played the entire time. this game is just that engrossing and sheer fun

    i don't think i can explain exactly what makes Borderlands so fantastic... there's just something about it. reviews i had seen on a few sites said that it takes a while for the game to get going and that by the 10th hour or so it really starts to be fun. well, if the game gets much more fun than this, it will be close to my game of the year. everything about Borderlands oozes style and love (meaning you can just tell how much the developers cared about this project). the pacing of the game is fantastic, the difficulty is a little up there, but it works and is never frustrating. the controls are spot on as far as responsiveness, but some of the button mapping is a bit strange (who maps fire to L2? and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it). the AI is fantastic with weapon-based enemies finding anyplace they can to duck behind and fire for cover, while the dog like creatures just get right up in your face. this can be frustrating, but it really makes you feel good when you finally blast them away.

    the RPG elements are just kinda... there. while i don't think they detract from the game, i also think that they could have been implemented differently without the overall game changing on a base level. that being said, Borderlands does a great job of Diablo style leveling-up. part of the reason i couldn't stop playing is cause you're ALWAYS building up your character in some small way. it's just incredibly addictive and fulfilling. the one minor nitpick that i can throw in here is having to press square every. single. time. you wanna pick up an item. you can hold it down to pick up multiple items that are very close to each other, but you'll be pressing square A LOT. i know tehre's some things you might not want, but you spend so much time in your inventory screen anyway, they may as well have made it so you just run over something to grab it.

    Borderlands sells itself on the concept of it's "87 Bazillion Guns". i've heard real estimates that say there's at least a few hundred thousand and that sure seems to be true. you'll NEVER stumble on the same gun twice. it's both a good and bad thing. obviously it's fun to try out all sorts of different combinations, but a lot more often than you'd like, you'll wind up with a weapon that, while not useless, is just pretty lame and underpowered. when you do find that perfect sniper rifle that shoots lighting, has a 500-round clip and a 120x zoom (just as one of soooo many examples), it'll all be so very worthwhile.

    the rest of my nitpicks, and by the way, that's all they are, cause i don't see a single legitimate big complaint with this game, would be as follows: while the game looks cool in it's own way, it think it's almost like a cop-out art style, maybe they didn't feel like doing textures or something. there's also severe framerate issues where you're in the middle of large battles. the vehicles, which make getting around so much easier,don't handle good at all and you get less Exp when you kill an enemy with your car as opposed to being on foot. i wish there were large online multiplayer deathmatches and CoF battles and the like. i'll have to check out the online "duels" at some point, see if they almost make up for that.

    when you get right down to it though, this is just an amazing game all around. the graphics have a sheen and polish that not many games have (it's fun to see little HP numbers rolling off someone as you shoot them in the face). i still think Borderlands is trying a bit too hard to be "cool" in the way a Tarentino or Guy Ritchie movie would be, but it just works anyway (much like a Guy Ritchie movie haha). in the end there's just something about Borderlands, some intangible quality, that makes it such a worthwhile experience. i haven't played the online co-op yet, so i can't speak to that, but the single player is one hell of a ride. the areas might all look a tad samey, there's only four character classes to choose from. the driving physics are pretty bad and there's not much variety in your enemies. thing is, none of that matters, Borderlands is amazing in spite of all of it's very minor flaws.

    if you've ever liked an FPS, if you've ever liked level-up-fests like Diablo, etc, hell, even if you wanted more action from Fallout 3, you owe it to yourself to at least give Borderlands a chance. this, along with Killzone 2, BlazBlue, Uncharted 2, Dirt 2 (and i can only assume the new Ratchet and Clank game) is one of the top 5 best games of 2009. there's a damn good chance that this game is considerably better than any other videogame you're looking to get on Amazon... pick Borderlands immediately. you won't be let down.

    enjoy. hope this helped. =)

    great PSN game5
    This game is very fun to play online! I think the single player option is nice but not the true way the game was meant to play. Its easy to pick this game up and run through a couple quests in half an hour or even join on someone else's game. the action is great and if you minimize travel time between action can be rather short. cars are fun and the addition of challenges make for a fun addition to the game. The four classes are a nice idea but the ability to develop their skill trees differently give these classes more variability.

    The mods for the grenades and class skills are excellently done. Also the ability to level up in weapon skills prevents any class from being limited in weapon choice. This game has many layers to it that keep it more fresh than other MMO-type games.

    i would recommend it to anyone that liked Diablo/Diablo II's action/RPG elements. The First person shooter element of this game is great!

    Putting in the all nighters.5
    If you could only describe a game in one word, that word would be "insane." I've just stayed up till 7:30am and it was all worth it. It's like Killzone2 frantic and the RPG elements of the first Baulder's Gate on PS2. I'm a level 28 soldier. Now the weapons are insane, I've had a shotgun that shot rockets, an SMG with explosive rounds, an SMG with a four spread shot so each round is four projectiles, a heavy machine gun with fire rounds, and a revolver with 303 damage and zoom scope (meaning it's my sniper rifle for medium range, HAND CANNON!). The only thing that sucks is if you have a rocket launcher it has no hit detection (if you think your going to hit a target aim at the ground at its feet, its the only way to cause damage, GEARBOX please send us all a patch!).
    Other than that, see you on the Pandora on PS3.

    Jason Bourne: Predator and Prey
    Players experience a new storyline in The Bourne Conspiracy, becoming Bourne and playing both as a trained assassin and a marked government agent trying to uncover the conspiracy shrouding his origins. True to the Bourne franchises trademark blend of precision hand-to-hand combat and gunplay, the core to the gameplay is Bourne's definition as a 'perfect weapon,' with heightened combat instinct, where players use his characteristic capabilities to recognize threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use the environment to overcome deadly situations.

    Adrenaline is Your Friend
    True to the frenetic pace of the books and movies, the action of The Bourne Conspiracy is not only non-stop, it’s integral to the gameplay. As players struggle past enemy after enemy, utilizing hand-to-hand combat staples like punches, kicks and blocks they will notice their on-screen adrenaline meter rising. Once Bourne has built up enough adrenaline he can dispense with the usual combination of moves needed to take out a foe and instead instantly take an enemy down with a single push of a button. If he builds up even higher levels of adrenaline he will be able to take out several enemies at the same time with the same single push of a button.

    Complete Features:

  • Seamlessly move between hand-to-hand combat, shooting and escape & evasion.
  • Harness Bourne’s combat instinct to recognize threats and weaponize every inch of the game environment.
  • Distinct Bourne combat style recreated by Jeff Imada, fight choreographer for the Bourne movies.
  • Unique combat adrenaline system lets you execute devastating takedowns
  • Experience Bourne as both hunter and prey.
  • Combat and dramatic escape scenarios weaved into frenetically paced action.
  • In-game real-time cinematography engine.

    Bourne Instinct: The Way of the Gun
    Because firearms are as important to Bourne gameplay as hand-to-hand combat, the development team at High Moon Studios has ensured that players will get the same whirlwind combat experience when they pick up a gat as when they are kicking, punching. This is achieved via the game's 'Bourne Instinct' targeting system. With this system when players are using a weapon all the they need to do is tap a button and enemies will be highlighted in yellow, with the nearest foe automatically targeted. In addition, as with hand-to-hand combat, as opponents are taken out players will also build up their adrenaline, eventually allowing for weapon-based takedowns, where most enemies can be dropped with a single round.

    Whether with his skills with his fists or with firearms Jason Bourne is the "30-million dollar weapon." For players the challenge is to become the perfect weapon; to become Bourne and solve the mystery of his past or die trying.

    Bourne plays like the movie, Heat with a few Bourne hand to hand combat moves1
    I don't know if Bourne Conspiracy developers got confused with the movie, Heat because the game plays like Heat with a few Bourne scenes from the movie and a few repeating Bourne close combat moves thrown into it.

    The game makes Jason Bourne very unlikeable character and only knows a few hand to hand fight moves over and over again. In the movie, Bourne is a thinker. In the game, he behaves like a psycho killer.

    It is 100% point A to B. You cannot do anything else. Most illogical about the game is when it's timed escape with very limited time, Bourne loves to go into hand to hand fights than trying to run as fast as he can to escape.

    Unless you like Bourne Identify too much, this game gets boring very fast because all the fighting are very repetitive with not creativity.

    Impressive cinematic presentation, decent gameplay3
    This game's rating falls badly due to the terrible boss battles. But I'll get to that in a minute.

    The cinematic presentation of The Bourne Conspiracy is actually very good. They did a great job of capturing the feel of the movies with that unique style of fancy camera work (the moving camera with quick edits). And really, that's what saves this game from being just average.

    The graphics in some areas are impressive. One drawback however is the characters faces, they look pale and sickly. Towards the later part of the game there is an explosion that is one of the best I've seen in a videogame, the developers knew it was good too because they put it in slow motion! The voice acting is serviceable, but I didn't like how Bourne was done. He's too laid back and speaks in a monotone. It takes some air out of the game because you're spending your time with this guy and he barely even registers as a person. The story? I don't know it wasn't much really. I guess they followed some parts of the movies but really everything was just an excuse to have gun fights and hand to hand combat.

    The game is in third person and there's a pretty good cover system. You can peak from behind cover and it's very simple and it works, unlike some games I know (ahem GTA4). However, it can be unresponsive. You'll be standing near a wall and pressing the button and it wont register. I like TPS games with this type of cover so that's one of the main reasons I enjoyed this game. You better like it, because that's basically all you do in this game, besides fight.

    Fighting is interesting, but basically it's just button mashing and very simple in medium difficulty. There are combos but it's not deep or anything. Extremely cool is the takedown. When you build up enough adrenaline during a fight, you can press circle and you'll bash the guys head into whatever is in the environment. It's pretty cool and a nice job by the developers to pull it off. There's a long car chase in the middle of the game, and it was fun and looked cool, however there's not much skill involved. Also, there are many quick time button pushes throughout, and I guess it adds to the game, but again, not much skill involved there. You do need quick reflexes sometimes though.

    And now the major flaw in this game. The hand to hand boss fights. About 4 of them. It's basically broken. You'll be fighting the guy, trying to land some punches and for some odd reason they keep switching to a quick time cinematic and you have to push a button to land a punch. It does about no damage and it happens over and over and over during the fight. You can barely get any momentum going because the fight constantly keeps getting interrupted by this cinematic. It's awful. I swear I thought the game was broken so I went online to watch a walkthrough and I noticed the guy was having the same problem as me. So I knew it wasn't me. I couldn't take it anymore so I put these boss battles on easy mode. And I never do that. The game loses one star because of that alone.

    Other than that, I actually enjoyed this game more than I thought considering all the lukewarm reviews it got. Cool game. Is it worth buying? No. But absolutely worth a rental.

    At Best A Rental...2
    After first playing the demo for Bourne Conspiracy I was pleasantly surprised to find a fast paced and seemingly well made action title. While considering purchasing the game outright, at $60, I decided to rent it first and I'm awfully glad that I did.
    Bourne Conspiracy follows the plot of the Bourne Identity movie with a few extra missions and deviations from the script. Fans of the movie will generally know what to expect when playing the game.

    Most video game players probably approach movie-based games with trepidation thanks to the industries spotty record with the genre. Bourne Conspiracy, however, is deceptively wrapped in an attractive package. The games graphics are a highlight of the title and the frantic pace of the action sequences will initially draw you into the title.

    However, things quickly start to unravel after the first hour of game time. What is at first fresh quickly grows stale. The combat mechanics of the game rely on 3 buttons - a quick attack, power attack and block. Again while initially satisfying, the melee combat quickly becomes repetitive. Add the overabundance of quick-time events (key moments where a certain button press or combination of button presses) and the combat becomes boring very quickly. Boss battles will largely rely on your performance with the block button and mashing the appropriate button during one of the countless quick-time events. Combos are extremely limited due to the fact that only two buttons are available and most are limited to 3-hit strings. Generally combat goes like this: Mash attack buttons -> Block -> QT Event -> Bourne Instinct (more on this later), rinse and repeat.

    The game also features one driving level that recreates the great chase scene in Paris from the Bourne Identity movie. While not terrible the chase sequence is extremely linear and perhaps because of it the entire sequence feels drawn out.

    The shooting mechanics of the game are done quite well and anyone familiar with the mechanics used in games such as Uncharted: Drakes Fortune or Gears of War will be familiar with the cover mechanic used here.

    The highlight of the game is the ability to use "Bourne Instinct" to immediately take down regular enemies with either hand to hand combat or weapons. The ability works in conjunction with an adrenaline meter that builds as you inflict damage on enemies. Build enough adrenaline and you'll be rewarded with the ability to see Bourne unleash with his fists or weapons. The adrenaline meter builds up to three levels and that corresponds to the number of enemies you can kill simultaneously. The only drawback to this ability is that this too grows quite repetitive. There are a few deviations as Bourne uses his environment and finds possible weapons in everything from shovels to desk chairs, however, all of the animations will look very familiar halfway into the game.

    That brings up the last issue I had with the game: It's Short! Bourne Conspiracy can literally be beaten in one sitting or about 5-6 hours.

    Honestly by the conclusion of the game I was glad that it was short as I was finding the repetitiveness of the combat to be excruciating. All in all this game is a solid rental and even for die hard Bourne fans I suggest renting before buying.

    Ace Combat 4 is still the best.....3
    Although I have only played through the first few levels of "Lethal Skies 2", I thought I should review it since no one else has at this time. The graphics are a notch below what they should be, especially since "Ace Combat 4" came out 2 years ago, and it still looks better than this game. The planes themselves look somewhat choppy, and the levels are lacking detail badly. The music, though you can choose the track before you play a level, is all generic rock that gets on your nerves fast. (There are 25 tracks or so to choose from and I could tolerate only a few.)

    Now on to the gameplay and control...which needs help too. If you are familiar with "Ace Combat" controls, this game will not feel as tight. You dont really get a solid feel/control of the plane, thus making it more difficult to dogfight than it should be. The missle targeting system is flawed, where once you launch a missle it automatically locks off the target, and in order to fire that second missle (to complete the kill), you must lock on again.

    For those of us expecting "Ace Combat" quality out of this game you might be a little dissappointed like me. But if you need a new jet fighter game, get this game but dont expect to be thrilled.

    For the Good Gamers4
    Leathal Skies II may not beat to Ace Combat 4 (Its only real competition) on the graphics front, but it has it in every other aspect. I own both games, and got bored of Ace Combat 4 within two hours. I'm still playing Leathal Skies.

    This game has very realistic flight patterns, and you just can't do anything that's physically impossible. Your payload (missles, et cetera) is also realistic. You can actually see your missles in the replays, and when you launch a missle, it is gone. You see it depart from your wing, and when you see your plane next, the missle is gone! Let's see Ace Combat compare to that. (With its 52 missles in 3 cubic feet)

    Even on the graphics front I am liking it. It has georgious landscapes, although they do get a little sketchy if you're too low to the ground (id est, about to crash) The plane graphics and HUD are superior to Ace Combat 4.

    And now for the best part, the gameplay! Wheras with Ace Combat, you can practically beat it with your eyes closed, and it gets very boring as a consequence, in Leathal Skies I'm finding it hard to get past the 4th level! And that's on easy! I can almost gaurentee that you will only stop playing if you are stuck, not bored.

    It has a nice little plotline, and although you as a pilot don't have a uniqe personality, your wingman (and wingwoman) do. They don't just send you on some randome arse mission, you are actually sent there for a reason, and that reason is explained.

    However, due to its dificulty curve, I would recomend Ace Combat 4 to any gamers who outright stink at games. But if you're average or above, this is probably the game for you.

    5 of 55
    This graphically gorgeous game desrves praise!!! One of if not the best simulator games i have ever played. Beatiful in game graphics, and lots of airplanjes, in one game. (all other flight sims only have a few planes) this one has 19 of them! Even X-play on techtv gave it a 4 out of 5, a five is very rare.

    An absolutely unique game5
    Braid has been out on other platforms for about a year already, but has just recently been released for the PS3. Nothing significant has changed between the PS3 version and the original Xbox 360 version of the game, but if you haven't played this game yet you should seriously think about getting it.

    Braid is a puzzle game set in the guise of a 2D platformer. If you are even vaguely familiar with classic Super Mario, then you will recognize all sorts of references to monsters, levels, and themes from those games. However, Braid's central mechanic is the ability to "rewind time", which lets you, among other things, undo mistakes that you might make, whether that be accidentally walking into an enemy or jumping into a pit full of spikes. As such, you can't really "die", and you can easily experiment without fear of failure. As you progress through the game, new mechanics (which all are based on manipulating time) are gradually introduced.

    The main objective of this game is to collect various "puzzle pieces", and these form the core of the puzzle aspect of the game. To obtain these pieces, you will have to think about how you use the time-based mechanics to reach those pieces. By the end of the game, some of the puzzles are quite challenging, but because of the time-rewind mechanic, you can easily experiment with many different ideas without any downtime.

    The art and music in the game are both wonderful. They compliment each other very nicely, and the music also interacts well with the time-rewind mechanic. The story of the game is actually quite mysterious, but I really shouldn't say anything more about that. If you are even remotely thinking about playing this game in the future, make sure you don't consult any Internet sources which could spoil the story for you - this not only includes game guides but also websites like Wikipedia.

    I only have a few minor complaints about this game. I'm not sure if the Xbox 360 version has these minor problems, but I kept getting random errors after obtaining puzzle pieces, which thankfully don't crash the system and can be ignored with a click of a button. Also, the online ranking for speed runs seems to be somewhat buggy. Finally, the game is quite short. The length of the game obviously depends on your puzzle solving abilities; I was able to finish the game in about four hours without any outside assistance. However, the quality of the gameplay experience is so high that $15 is not an unreasonable price for the game. After all, going to the movies costs around $10 for a few hours of entertainment, and Braid is better than most movies out there. If there's one substantial negative about the game, it's the fact that it ends!

    Awesome5
    This is an awesome game. Definitely, try to make your way through without using any walkthroughs. The puzzles are all solvable if you take some time to think about them (and there is not much to the game other than the puzzles, so if you don't take the time to solve them you won't get anything out of the game)

    My one complaint is that, despite being expensive for a PSN title (most games are in the $5 to $10 range; this is $15) is it really, really short. If you're good at puzzles, it should not take you more than a day or two to finish the game. Having said that, there is a little replay value -- the full-game speed run is not easy, and collecting all the stars is quite challenging if you don't use a walkthrough for them (and not that easy, even if you do)

    It's an excellent game though, and if the extra $5 that you will spend (over other PSN titles) doesn't matter to you, it's worth it. It is definitely not "just another game".

    Great gaming experience5
    This is one of the most creative puzzle games to date. It makes you really think. Once you figure out all the puzzles, however, there isn't much incentive to go back to replay the stages. For $10, it's definitely a must play game.
