I have to remind myself not to be "brainwashed" by the abundance of 99 cent games out there--game price should reflect game quality and value, and in applying that model Spelunky is a bargain :)<br /><br />Personally, this is one of the rare cases where I actually like the new art better. I've always been a fan of Yu's unique style. I think it adds another dimension of personality to the game; it wasn't exactly lacking before, but develops it even more!Peter Redmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03632470805326611341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016535740516105777.post-22316505257784610782012-07-13T07:25:50.160+01:002012-07-13T07:25:50.160+01:00Utterly agreed, I've been playing this a lot s...Utterly agreed, I've been playing this a lot since it first arrived, and was initially a bit apprehensive about the 1200 MS points price point - but felt I'd already had that much fun on the PC (and later Mac) versions, so coughed up.<br /><br />And since the Xbox version came out I've basically played nothing else. Trials HD style restarts of levels have kept me in front of it for RSI inducing periods. Not sure about the soundtrack - I ended up turning it down, and listening to other music as I played as the music was a bit repetitive when played for marathon sessions.<br /><br />Whilst the multiplayer deathmatch is far to chaotic to be fun, the multiplayer adventure mode is a good laugh (in two player at least) - and playing as a ghost (once you've been killed) is a nice addition, with the living player being able to resurrect you from a coffin on the next level.<br /><br />Overall, utterly brilliant, and well worth the investment as an XBOX game. (Although I miss the old graphical style just a bit). Any game where I can get a monkey companion who poos gold is pretty much essential.uglifruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699760762655395914noreply@blogger.com
