($10) and comes packed with 240 stages, ten challenges and an extremely '80s-inspired neon pink logo.

Cripes. I'm still less than a quarter of the way through the first game. And according to this: http://360voice.gamerdna.com/game.asp?game=EXIT&type=3, so is most of the rest of the XBL community.

Given the insane amount of content in the first game, I can't see this selling well. Either people bought the first game, in which case, they still have a lot of it left to play through, or they're not interested in a 2D puzzler, in which case, they're unlikely to buy this.

Am I alone in not finding Exit to be all that interesting. The first game really did nothing for me when I tried it.

Agreed, its okay on a handheld to pass time, but its not really the sort of thing I'd play on my big screen :S

I agree for the most part. The XBLA version is kind of underwhelming. Sure, it's stylish, but the gameplay feels stilted, with each level being a case of 'kill-yourself-10-times-in-order-to-figure-out-how-the-level-is-supposed-to-work'.

Somehow, the controls feel wrong too. Not responsive enough: half the time, Mr. Esc does exactly what I don't want him to. Which of course, leads to failing the level again...
