Anyone else tried it ?

I've downloaded it today (360 Live Arcade) and it is GREAT !

It's basically a plattform based puzzle game, but it's SO original, MUCH more than simply a puzzle game. It's filled with...philosophy, vision, it's...inspired...and it makes you use ALL of your brain. I've finished the first 2 worlds going on gamefaqs 2 times, but I wish I didn't, I'll try to finish it with no help, but it will be HARD ! :wink:

Anyone else looking for an original and challenging game shoul definitely give it a try ! :wink:

I completed it with a mate, as in between us we worked it out in one very long evening

and I completely agree it is rather good, but its a huge shame no one will play it cos they would rather complain about the price.

pfft

1200 MP, which I think is about 15 $. Don't think about the price, just BUY it and ENJOY ! ! :wink:

I agree with the OP. Braid is an amazing game and is the best 2d game I've played since the SNES.

From what I've seen of the title, it seems to be a spoof of many other games. I think I saw screenshots that looked remarkably like Mario (the original one with barrel jumping and ladders), and Super Mario Bros (the princess is in another castle!). Is that an accurate evaluation?
