    Rented it when it came out, thoroughly enjoyed it. If you buy it you get a code to download and play the original so can't comment on that as I rented it.

    I had more than enough time to play it and finish it in the week I had it.

    just picked it up online for 23 quid, looking forward to playing it. the first game included is a good selling point. how many hours gameplay do you reckon it took to complete calex71?

    Long game.... 20-ish hours on Normal I think (if going for collectables). Another 15 on Nightmare (if going for that achievement) and 5-7 on the original Alice.

    Finished it a few weeks ago, I thought it was brilliant. One of my favourite games of the year, I read the reviews and they were fairly average but I gave it a go anyway and I'm glad I did.
    It was much darker than I thought it would be, but I found that interesting.

    One of my favourite games this year. Fantastic art-style, great story, simple gameplay, hot Alic, and generally just a joy to play.

    just completed this today. i have to say i havent enjoyed a game this much in a while. i would urge anybody who grew up with platformers such as mario 64, banjo etc to give this game a go, its one of the most underated games on the 360

    Good to see so many people enjoying this. Personally its tied for GOTY with Dark Souls for me. It was a joy to play, has one of the best stories ive seen in a game, amazing art style, and all round fun to play. Sure its got issues (the padding of certain chapters being the most obvious), but id rather play a padded level set inside a Fuedal Japanese Ant hill fighting samurai Wasps or staging a theatrical performance for some singing oysters than spend 5 minutes in another gritty brown terrorist simulator.
    Fantastic game, and i hope its sold well by word of mouth. I know it didnt set the charts alight on release, but it seems like its been a slow burner if forum imrpessions are anything to go by

    edit

    Also, f*ck eurogamer and their sh**ty 6/10 review for this
