Why didn't EXIT receive a lot of buzz?

[javeryh]

If you own a PSP you should really track this game down. It's a fantastic puzzle game. There are 100 levels in the game and 100 more you can download from the Ubisoft site.

I don't understand why it didn't seem to be popular - it's one of the better games for the system, IMO.

i was really curious about this too...but eh, sold my psp :-p

[whoknows]

BUT ITS A PSP GAME!! PSP HAS NO GOOD GAMES!! ALL OF THEM ARE PORTS AND HAVE 10 MINUTE LOADING TIMES!!


Seriously though, I am really bummed I didnt get this for $10 at the Circuit City sale.

[doubledown]

Yeah, I picked this up for around $15. It's a fun little puzzle game...nothing too exciting, but fun.

Why no buzz....do ANY PSP games get any buzz anymore? Great system, just lack of excitement about it anymore. I found that out when my local BB/GameRush only had maybe 20-30 PSP games to rent. They have more pre-owned games than rentals.

Yep, unfortunately even when there's some stellar titles that come out you never hear any buzz about them. I mean its a little over a month away from the release of the new GTA and absolutely no one is talking about it.

I got this for $8.96 at the CC sale and I did enjoy it for a little while but I felt as if it got really repetitive quickly. I traded it in.

[sky03]

the controls piss me off lol

[Decker]

Actually, it's one of my favorite games. Not your typical puzzle game with moving blocks, it requires thought, strategy as well as a good amount of trial and error. To me, that what a puzzle is.

The controls take some getting used to, especially the long jump, but overall it a wonderful game with a great style and cool music. Too bad the voice-over was so goddam awful and annoying.

the sequel is out next week in japan

Wow - really? Nice!

[darkchild81]

I picked it up at the CC sale too. Besides some pathfinding problems and the annoying people you rescue, its a great game. Not one I'd play straight for 3 hrs. But I put it in every once in a while and do a couple levels. Its a good addition to anyone's library.

[CaptainCarnage]

same here, got it at the cc sale. it's a good game if want to kill some time, but it gets old fast.

[Kawnhr]

I <3 EXIT. It's absolutely perfect for short bursts due to the length of the levels, but I can't keep playing it for an hour or two. I still play it every once and a while, of course.

The extra 110 levels got through downloading should keep me busy after I beat all 100 levels, too.

[Sinistar]

Great game some of the puzzles are really tough, though.

[NamPaehc]

The second game (Which hasn't been mentioned of in the US, so it may never make it over here), was only a few bucks on play-asia for a while and I imported it. I had already played the first and loved it, so this was a no brainer. Price has gone back up on it though but if you can find an imported copy it is mainly in english.

Essentially yeah. Any non-established title on the PSP beyond Luminese has been pretty much dead in the water until it gets ported to something else for the bias against the PSP. A shame really since Exit was a cool game.

Also, if you're at your local TRU clearance, do yourself a favor a pick up Mercury 1. It's a neat little puzzle game that plays a bit like Super Monkey Ball crossed with Wetrix.

But it's Marble Madness with liquid and neat chill music!

[Thomas96]

I got it... but I haven't played much of it.... didn't like it that much. I don't know... I'll give it another shot.

Cool, I just picked up Mercury today. I have Exit too, but just bought it last week so haven't had the chance to play it yet.

[FriskyTanuki]

I just got Exit today from Fry's for a nice $12 price tag and I'm loving it. It's definitely a thinking man's game. It's always nice to have that "How the fuck do I solve this puzzle?!" feeling and realizing that changing one thing completely fixes the problem.

Is Me and My Katamari a hard game to find? My Fry's has the import version for $20 and I'm wondering if I should hold out for an English version, whereever I can find it.

[stainremover]

i didn't like it because it was tooooooo slow. i spent so much time waiting. and its frustrating when you almost solve a puzzle than because the guy is so slow he ends up trapped behind a door and you have to restart the whole thing.

[stainremover]

oops double post

[TLR]

Same reason most great PSP games don't get a lot of buzz... Sony keeps ghost-releasing great software without paying for advertisement, so no one really knows about it.

I still have yet to get Exit. I've heard nothing but good about it though.

[foundation]

I felt it was too slow and could have used a bit more panicky rushing (i.e. hurrying through 8-1 in SMB.) Mr. ESC felt like he had no experience rescuing people instead of a bad ass rescue master. Who knows exactly what they were going for though.

[ninjalunchbox79]

I've wanted to try this game out for a while now , i'm a sucker for puzzlers!!! So where would be the best place to pick this one up on the cheap??

The internet. Actually, Amazon had it for $10 a while back but it might be tough to find now.
