It's finally here.
Sure, I could have played on PC in 2009, but I didn't feel like it. Because my PC is connected to my TV and using a PC on a couch blows.
Anyhow - I've had my eye on the 360 release for quite some time and instantly bought it when I found it out was released. I then spent the next 4 hours straight playing it and it's bloody awesome. If I may offer one recommendation though - play it on VERY HARD if you want a challenge, or even hard core (permadeath). Otherwise it feels too easy. Even on very hard, if you have a brain, it's not SUPER challenging but still tough enough to be fun and kill you if you get too lazy / overconfident.
Then I wondered - why is this the only randomly generated dungeon crawler featuring tons of loot on the xbox 360 to date? Sure, there's titles like Sacred 2 (which I've played 300+ hours of) and Deathspank (couldn't get into that one) - but how is it that this is the first diablo-style loot whoring dungeon crawler released on current gen consoles!? Myself and many other included have been waiting for a game such as this for so long, that I almost gave up. It's rather funny that the only diablo-style (read random levels) to hit the next-gen consoles actually has team members that were on the original diablo project!
As you may or may not be aware, Runic games completely revamped the interface and controls for the console (obviously this was needed as a point and click scheme wouldn't work). What I like about the xbox 360 version of Torchlight, much like Sacred 2, is that the action is much more involved. You don't just click on an enemy and hold down a mouse button. You control your guy manually, go in the enemy's face and hit/hold X. It gives it a much better "actiony" feel to it.
Everything else about the port is great, with the exception of some frame rate / game slow-downs if there's a lot of monsters on the screen at once, but these have been fairly rare.
No sense in trying to convince anyone to buy this - it's a live arcade title which means it has a free trial, so I will try to convince you to TRY IT OUT NOW :)
