5 gorgeous gameplay videos.

This game is looking extremely promising.  It's A Boy and His Blob...actually playable this time!

Looks very very good, although I am turned off by how slow it seems to be.

The amount of shouting seems kinda annoying but it seems IGN already pointed that out to the devs. I wonder if there's a gameplay function for the hug or if it's just because they found the blob so adorable they wanted to hug him...

Those videos are gorgeous. Wayforward is doing a great job with the game. The shouting is a bit overdone and hopefully will be toned down, so I don't have to turn the volume off while my wife is around.

First review I could find, as I was thinking of buying this next week at the Toys r us but 2 get 1 free sale.  Man, the night level graphics look so stunning.  It looks like the main issue is the controls which is a bummer.  Bad controls can really ruin a game.  I'm still renting worse case senario though, I gotta try this.

On the upside at least it's only confusing controls, not broken controls.

You know, you'd really think after all these years of practice that companies would finally have a handle on how to do 2-frickin'-D platformer controls.  Apparently, between Scribblenauts and Boy & His Blob it's just too difficult for modern gaming companies.  :rolleyes:

The review sounded like there are simply too many different buttons involved, Scribblenauts had problems where the controls tended to do the wrong thing, here it's just that you have to remember how to do things.

Very true.  And Matt was probably playing Afrika at the same time, which would make it all the more confusing.  I wonder if he still thinks Afrika is amazing as he said it would be.

Come to think of it, the details in the NMH controls were a bit confusing if you went back to the game after not playing a few weeks, but that certainly didn't spoil the game for me.  But overall, confusing controls are much better than broken.

The IGN review of Afrika I read was VERY negative. I was wondering if the reviewer would have liked Endless Ocean.

It was Greg Miller from IGN who gave Afrika a 3.5/10.

Haha, just picturing Greg trying to play endless ocean or afrika cracks me up.  I can't believe they let him review it!  Dude is great for many games, and funny on the podcast, but ADD as all hell.  Even if a game like that was great, no way he could get into it.

Sorry to revive this after two years, but here's a little something that I think no one has noticed--


the entire soundtrack for this game is available for purchase on iTunes. I went and bought it as soon as I discovered it there.
