Hmm, no mention of the somewhat lofty price. I'll probably wait for the 360 version on this one.

@Kraznor: He did in the written review I think.

However when did this go up it only has 6 comments?

And how often does Brad say stop me if you've heard this one before =D

Also finally I really do like that end music at the end of the review.

Sweet, so it's pretty much an unofficial sequel to The Lost Vikings.  I can dig it.

Sorry Brad but I think you overrated it. I found the combat tedious due to the respawning enemies. I did not get a sense of satisfaction out of solving the puzzles because I felt that I was just brute forcing them with a combination of the thief and wizard powers. I also managed to complete the game without improving any of my skills (I didn't realise I could do this!). I am not sure if that's a testament to how well or how badly the game is designed.


That said, I feel that the game is well formed as an complete action/platforming experience and no one can dispute that the visuals and sound are finely crafted.

Games like this remind me that side-scrollers are still viable, even in this day and age.  Bravo.

The games in game art is fantastic, but the 2D story art is simply terrible and such a let down in contrast. They should have got a top fantasy artist to create all those scenes. ...

@Detlionfan: Any word on the length of this game? Replay value? Is the co-op the same levels from the single player or do the puzzles change since more people are playing? Is the co-op online or 1 system only?

The review is fine but doesn't give me information I want to know that'd make me want to BUY this. I mean is there a story to this game? If there is is it compelling or just thrown together? Is the sound effects and music score worth mentioning?

Sorry but the more I think about it---this review sucked and I retract that it was a fine review. We get you liked the game, but you don't really say why and give us the fine details needed to know what we are paying for here.

Good review, but I wish you'd mention how long the game is, and if it's really worth 30 BUCKS.
