What are people confused about? He just wants to know your impressions about the game/trial that is available on XBLA and he wants to discuss how it was a horrible idea to use Comic Sans font as subtitles.

The annoying go to font when you're 12 and you don't want to use Times New Roman because it's crap, but you haven't discovered the formal loveliness that is Arial.

And you use Arial if you're a noob and haven't discovered the much more classy Helvetica.

Helvetica isn't free though, and there really isn't that much different at a glance.

For titles.

It's enticing in that "wonder if it's badfunny" way. Other than that I'm not so sure. Don't think the game is lying about the three hour limit, there appears to basically be no story and the trial plays like a bland installment of the standard modern first person shooter with peculiar controls and a player character that has to catch his breath every five seconds.

Oh yeah, I forgot, they placed an enemy on the billboard ad for The Green Hornet so you have to look at it. And a section right around the enemy can get shot out, but not the rest of it, where the title is. Thought that was pretty funny.

Beyond Good & Evil HD is 800p as well. I'd advise everyone to buy that instead. Alternatively Guardian of Light is currently 600p.

It's enticing in that "wonder if it's badfunny" way. Other than that I'm not so sure. It's going to be around 3 hours, there appears to basically be no story and the trial plays like a bland installment of the standard modern first person shooter with peculiar controls and a player character that has to catch his breath every five seconds.

got beyond good and evil,its worth way more than hthe asking price, havn't played it yet though,already played it on GC, saving to busy playing torchlight, which is well worth 1200msp as well

It's a bad font if you're using it for movie/ video game subtitles.

I'm hearing the three hour time limit the game tells you about is actually not true.
The game lasts for about one hour.

Here's a 50 minute walkthrough.

I forgot to mention that when I played the trial I was actively trying to break it, which extended the length, so if you've accidentally bought this game you could give that a shot.

juliankennedy23

Well I guess that depends on your expectations. After having been exposed to the Comic Sans I was impressed the actual game looked as good as it did. But impressive is not the word I'd use to sum up my opinion of the trial. It feels like an average FPS produced with a low budget. And evidently it's not a very substantial one.

The annoying go to font when you're 12 and you don't want to use Times New Roman because it's crap, but you haven't discovered the formal loveliness that is Arial.

Times New Roman is better than Arial!

:P

Seriously though, is the game any good?
