This game is a lot of fun. You really do feel like how Brad acted when he played it. It's nonsensical and strange and amusing and on some sort of primal level just...fun.

That said, it is pretty broken. At one point you take the submarine under the ice to do some things and I got stuck on a corner in a pipe. I hit the transition to a new area then and ended up stuck outside the world. I could move around fine but the buddies hanging on to my submarine let go since it didn't really register me in the sub and they started drowning. With a lot of struggle I made it back through the transition and ended up in the space between the inner and outer walls of the pipe....buddies still drowning. My last save before that happened was about an hour....I don't really see me going back to it after that little setback.

THAT said, it still is a lot of fun. I found myself racing around with the buddies hanging on just to watch the fun climb higher and the buddies explode into flower-effect fun-gasms.

I had that happen multiple times, but I never thought of quitting the game. It's too much fun for that.

I can't even play the damn game. I bought the retail version, but I cannot find a serial key anywhere, so installing it is impossible.

im in the volcano NOW and i got the buddies nd started the music but whenever i pick up an object the game freezes wat shud i do

Considering the scope of this game and the small amount of people who worked on it, I'd be surprised if the game wasn't broken in a lot of ways.

so wat now i just throw the game away i cnt pass the damn level and bring spring :D

Is the game really that fun? I watched the Quick Look and was intrigued by it though whether or not I pick it up depends on if I can get it digitally,what price, and what libations I have on hand...

People keep talking about like, building crazy shit Nuts n' Bolts style: but why not play Nuts n' Bolts? Its 20 bucks on XBLA (right? am I right?). I mean, I'm very on the fence about it. I feel like, if there's ever going to be a time to get this game... its during this.... almost Giantbomb Community Zeitgeist Bubble, which, once popped will make the 20 bucks kinda... wasted. 

I bought it for no other reason than to support the poor russians who need all the money they can get to keep their LSD addiction afloat.

This game is awesome. ..I was just doing the story and got frustrated and bored a bit on the submarine part, because I didn't know how many buddies I had to rescue, some were stuck swimming, and I was frantically trying to figure out what to do.. until I figured it out and had enough supposedly. Once Spring hit, I started with building more... and got addicted.  Made a sick car-boat-plane.. and I think Vinny, Brad, and Will would be proud. I managed to save it with most of the mods I'd done to it before it froze up the game.. : /  It should only take a few min's to add the alterations since the last save though..
