Yes, everyone should be buying it! Support the developer for creating such a fun experience. The gaming community finally gets an excellent platformer and the only people that take notice are the gaming reviewers!
29.99 is a great price, it probably should have been released at 49.99 instead of 59.99, and on a different week than COD MW and Skyrim. I already bought mine on release, Ill buy another for my nephew. Thanks OP
[quote name='Achilles00']I've heard lots of great things about this game, and recently picked it up for $35 on a Lightning Deal. My brothers and I started playing it last night, and I can't say that I see anything special about it. It's repetitive and has virtually no narrative or pretense of one. It's a fun enough little game, but I don't see where all of the GOTY talk is coming from. Maybe we need to play it longer? We put in about 2 hours.[/QUOTE]
You heard lots of great things because it is a great game, imho. If you do not like platformers, gorgeous graphics, artistic creativity, perfect couch co-op, excellent soundtrack, changing backdrops and power ups, rewards, being challenged, unlocking new skins, and slapping your co-op buddy..then no, this game is not for you.
In all seriousness to each his own. Not every game is for everyone.
Some games, mostly platformers are not specifically geared for an in depth story. This game does not spend 20 minutes of interactive clips, it has hours of gameplay instead. The only gripe I truly have is they left out online MP.
