Another let down...this time it\'s Blinx.

I could write up a review right now if I wanted to, but to be fair, I\'ll play the game for a few more days (or hours) before I do so. I\'m not sure how much more I can play though. It\'s gotten so boring and frusterating at the same time.

My vote for the worst camera ever.
Trust me, if you expecting something cool with the time control feature, you\'re going to be dissapointed. It\'s nothing special. Graphics are not bad. There\'s not that much slowdown like Gamespot and a few others said there would be but mainly because it only runs are 30 fps.
Blinx himself is the slowest cat around. Which makes the 10 min time limit per round very frusterating.

Damn...I can\'t take this anymore. Shenmue is my last hope.


I\'ll post my review soon.

hey Sky, Disappointed? Then play Sly Cooper the Thevious Racoonus. Now that is how a platform game is supposed to be! Not only is it fun, but you gather cool spy moves along the way, get to do some cart-style racing and some rail gun shooting. The maps and bosses, alhough nothing new, are fun to play and get through. You can even go back to levels you already played to get more clues. In most games this is a secondhand feature added for lenght, but I actually had fun going through levels. A lot of added depth in this game: check it out!

I would have to agree on this one. After all the hype surrounding this game concerning the fact that it will really use the XBox hard drive, it was quite frankly, disappointing.

I made it to the last boss already. I bought the game yesterday...WTH!!!!
Not sure if I want to play anymore. You have to fight some of the bosses over again and I don\'t feel like doing that.


Come on Shemue...don\'t dissapoint me.

Well if you only got it yesterday you can still take it back right? Consider it a Bruce lee experiance. (I only hope it isn\'t half as bad as Bruce Lee was.)

No, no, I\'m exaggerating a bit. The game was hyped so much and my expectations were so high, that this game needed to be perfect. Anything less would be considered a bomb.

It\'s a good game...just doesn\'t set any standards and is certainly not a system seller. The holiday season is about 2 months away. They should fixed up the camera, whiich is Blinx\'s worst enemy and added a run button, then released this game 2 months from now.

Rent this game for sure..


EDIT...remember, these are my own opinions. Some people might get this game and love it.
