I played the demo on the 360, and I have to say while the gameplay bored me a great deal, I just loved the writing and the whole setting so much I didn't even realize it until after I finished the demo. It surprises me that the adventure game elements are a bit shoddy because of Ron Gilbert's involvement--you'd think he'd make sure it was all top notch.
The only thing I really don't get is the 3D stuff. Maybe it's just me, but it looks pretty terrible. Since the game also includes a lot of 2D (all the dialogs are in 2D, and look fucking fantastic), why not just make the whole game like that? I guarantee it would've looked about 5 million times better, and more true to the Penny Arcade pedigree as well.
Anyway, I'm a little hesitant to spend the $20, but on the other hand I enjoyed the demo enough that I'm probably gonna cave sooner or later. Thanks for the review Mo0!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
