    Looks awesome, think I'll get it.

    Reminds me a lot of psychonauts

    I'm a little hesitant to buy anything off PSN now as it may show up on PSN+ at some point. Sony are saying on the EU blog that they'll try to include new stuff, so fewer people get content they have already. Who know it may be a long shot but getting it free would be nice, What a terrible world we live in when ninjitsu can't solve our problems.

    I really, really don't like the voice acting. I know it's meant to be all hammy and Saturday morning cartoon, but it does my head in.

    I actually really like the voice acting for the Saturday morning cartoon feel.

    I got it for *cough* that other console *cough* and I love it. The voice acting is fantastic and very funny (especially deathspank).

    Bloody huge game too....

    Was wondering about this game myself, seems to have all good reviews. May buy it at the weekend.

    Doubt PSN+ will get it for free, but €1 or €2 off might be expected.
    Any free stuff for PSN+ would probably come from Sony published/developed games.

    Yeah, only played for half an hour and it started kicking my ass everytime I wandered off the right path :pac: Seems like good fun though, nice satirical take on RPGs.

    The graphics and art style are great. Voice acting is too over the top to be funny and becomes very annoying. The quests are so RPG 101 that I got bored. My girlfriend likes it, so it wasn't a huge waste. Not worth €12.99, in my opinion.

    I picked it up the day it came out have been playing it off and on since I got it. Finding it enjoyable, but not compulsive gaming. Like the art style and humour. Have started playing it while listening to podcasts so turn down the volume on the voice acting and just read the text which I'm actually prefering. Really like it though. Have a feeling that Limbo on 360 is going to tear me away from it from Wednesday though.

    Yeah Limbo is going to be epic. Broke though, don't think I can indulge in another game this month.

    This is the most enjoyable PSN game I've played since Bomberman. For such a jokey game, it still has a lot of depth aswell. The voice acting is gas aswell.

    This kid is seriously taking the "fun" out of "orphan" :D

    Anyone else enjoying this as much as me?

    I had a proper go of this the other night and have gone from being wary of it to actively enjoying it! A fine game, a dungeon crawler of sorts with a sense of humour :) Combat system is easy and fun, although you can still get destroyed if you don't try to pick a group off one by one. The writing is full of humour, taking the piss out of and/or embracing RPG tropes (love the description of items especially - "+50 Undeath" :p
