  1. Just finished and I can't really add anything that hasn't been said already: It's only bloody brilliant. I'm glad that

    Murray

    was back even more glad that he actually had a part to play, not just some tacky fan service shoehorned it. Also the reuse of MI2 and CMI music was a bonus (the music from the stomach of the Manatee was from CMI somewhere, right?)


  2. As initially skeptical as I can't help but be by the prospect of an unnecessary sequel, more screens have been released and there no denying just how god damn cute they are! Also to answer the question above it's developed by Capcom. They did a pretty good job porting it to the Wii so it's not as blasphemous as it seems


  3. I still need to complete the first one. It's a game I keep stopping and starting and I'm not exactly sure why. I got to the ranked fight where you fight the witch? I think it's III or something, pretty far along the game but for some reason I turned the game off and haven't touched the Wii since. I should probably get back on that...


  4. When I was blasting through Super Metroid I consulted a long play incredibly often because I wanted to 100% it. I did and it was awesome, if only I realised it was done on speed, not so much on percentage.

    And that brings it round to the other thing which I don't think anyone's mentioned yet: SPEEDRUNS! Speedruns are always awesome when they're just ridiculously flukey versions of games you know well. The

    is a prime example.

  5. My first game was probably either Citadel of Chaos on the BBC or Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga. These two after Delux Paint of course ;) The reason I remember Shadow of the Beast the most is because it scared the crap out of me! Did this happen to anyone else? Terrifying stuff.

    I think the first game I REALLY played all the way through (like, to completion) was Toonstruck, an awesome game which doesn't seem to get half the recognition it deserves. Graphics and humour that blew my mind back in 1997 or whatever, and puzzles which took me like a year and a few calls to the helpline (damn games were harder before the internet) to get through.

  6. I can't understand how people can say it should be in 2D other than for just some nostalgia factor. The game looks gorgeous, better than either season of Sam and Max did, and I think we're all far enough into the age of 3D to make games that won't look bad within a few years time. Am I really alone on this?


  7. Just finished it and it was great. If my memory serves me well it surpassed the first one in pretty much every way which was already excellent :tup:

    Now we've had a bit more time with it I'm so glad they've gone with a truly

    original story

    and not just a

    rehash/update of an old story like in CMI and EMI

    . Spending some quality time

    with LeChuck and Elaine

    confirms this and it feels that for once there doesn't need to be

    an evil guy

    . (I've been a bit over diliegent with the spoiler tags there...)

    Great stuff! I do kind of agree with what Vimes was saying though.


  8. I've been trying to remember and I have no recollection at all about what happened at the end of EMI. Can anyone shed any light on it? I remember the last puzzle was

    the Monkey Kombat between the robot and the LeChuck statue or something

    but after that I'm drawing a blank. How did the story end?


  9. Wii peripheral that you bounce on, right?

    Wii peripheral that monitors your heart rate, right?

    How long till we get Wii Sex?

    'It will please you, in a way that will excite you' (said with creepy eyebrow motions)

    Who said the Vitality Sensor had to go on the finger..?
