Guest C.M. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 i plan on putting in a good 2 hours. from the sounds of it, this game is almost as long as a full retail TR game. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. The XBLA style games push is the best thing MS has done this gen. (and achievements for those who like them ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,051 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 it seems pretty damn long. i did as much as possible in the 2nd level and it took me 45 minutes (still ended up missing one of the trucks ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,920 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 hell yeah. i love what xbla and psn have done with their arcade games. lots of innovation and value on both platforms. i have found braid, limbo, flower, echochrome, trine, splosion man, shatter, shadow complex, wipeout, and joe danger to offer some really fun gaming experiences. i look forward to adding tomb raider, journey, and hydrophobia.

It sounds like a must play (not gameplay wise, but experience wise). So I guess with TR, you will have bought 3 XBLA games right? I think you can register for a 400 MS point rebate with a deal they have going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest C.M. Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think it was on the dashboard. Buy 3 summer of arcade titles, get 400 points. Buy 5 summer of arcade titles, get 800 or 1200 points back. http://www.xbox.com/en-ca/community/events/summerofarcade/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
