KRS Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I saw over on CAG that the game was only $9.99 new at GameStop, so I printed out the achievement guide and snagged a copy. I played two sessions which totalled just over 3 hours. The roadmap estimates 2-3 hours, and usually I find that the estimates are on the short side, but not this time. I could have gone through faster had I not missed the trilobyte minigame which meant I had to play part of that level again to get Fossil Fuel and to get the final achievement for getting all the other achievements. But all in all, the guide isn't even needed to get through the game. Most of the collectibles are out in the open, with only a few hidden behind a crate. Some of the paint tubes might elude you if you don't repair all the paintings in that level, but the rest are there for the taking. So basically, as long as you collect everything in each level (except for the pointless audio guides and graffiti jobs), you will get all the points the game has to offer. Check your stats before leaving an area to be sure you have gotten them all. There is a section of the roadmap that lists what achievements you should have by the time you complete a level. Consult this and it will be a breeze! Rent, buy cheap, or borrow from a friend, and you will be +1000 in no time, with very little hassle. Some of the cutscenes are kind of funny too. At ~ 3 hours, the game doesn't get monotonous or annoying. If it were 10+ hours, it might be another story, but for what it is, you might as well give it a shot.

Kamakazi Pear Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah I actually loved this game. I got all collectibles without guides, and only used the achievement guide to see which achievements I should unlock in each level. Great fun, about 2-3 hrs as the Road Map says. I only rented it, but wouldn't have minded buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozia Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have just finished it now and spent just under 3 hours on it, and I actually found it quite enjoyable. It was fun and didn't get stale for the time it was played =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadvilNE Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Definitely agree. It was an easy 1K, with no annoying glitches and an enjoyable presentation. Absolutely worth the $8 I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsUpS32 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Agreed 3-4 hours for me, got stuck on one part but figured it out eventually. Got it and sent it back to Gamefly the same day, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyanite Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I agree that this game is worth playing through. It has good voice acting, acceptable graphics, and you're rarely at a loss for where to go or what to do next. The monkey sounds get annoying in one level, but that may just be me. Some of the spoken lines are amusing even if they just make you roll your eyes. The gameplay isn't bad at all, either. This is only the third game I've sat down and, in one sitting, banged out all of the achievements. Unlike "Lost: Via Domus" and "Avatar: The Burning Earth", I had a good time doing this.

Neverender Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I agree. I was completely expecting it to suck as bad as Lost in getting the achievements, but it never got boring (and it was a lot faster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
