6633 Braid

Anyone here agree that this is probably the or one of the best arcade releases on the xbox?

EDIT:

Spelling mistake corrected. Thankyou to whoever did it (probably DC since I see someone voted for no xD) ^^

Anyway, forgot to add my opinion and a summary to this.

The common aspect of the game is holding down the X button to reverse time. This concept really goes well and makes an excellent tool when it comes to solving the many puzzles especially when the time concept differs in each world; whether it's time reversing when you walk backwards, creating a time shadow thing so you can open a door in one area and one in another (you'll see what I mean if you play the game), and/or simply undoing a mistake you made.

I have heard many podcasts comparing this game to Mario and from looking in that perspective it does have similarities. You do have to jump on enemies to kill them however, in many cases, this is used to enable you to reach higher places you couldn't reach with normal jumping, especially when it comes to puzzle pieces that are out of your reach. Puzzle pieces are needed to compete the world and you collect the pieces, put them together and you'll get a picture; simple as that. There are some achievement points awarded to you for completing the picture (which would be stupid if they didn't ¬_¬ ). Also like Mario, you're after a Princess.

I think Braid is an excellent game, definitely worth the amount of points is costs to buy it. Really enjoyed it especially since it differs from some of the generic arcade games (Geo Wars, etc) .

EDIT EDIT:
NO! There's another spelling error in the poll!
It should be 'Not Sure', not 'No Sure'. Why am I having such a baka day?
