I just hope this game is awesome as this award implies, for Phil Fish's sake. If the game isn't revelatory or great, and is merely good, or fails to execute on some concepts, both the 5 year dev time and the comments Fish has made will come under even heavier fire.

If you make a good game, at least you can criticize others that aren't as good. But if this is a one hit wonder for Polytron.... Good luck.

2nd sega one could be either ulala or robotnik maybe?

I think the controls are purposefully loose. It means you have to time how long you hold the keys and whatnot, and while an analog control scheme would make the game more playable in a sense, it wouldn't feel... right. I think an option would be cool, or maybe just tighter digital controls.

This def feels like a Cavanagh game though: gave me VVVVVV flashbacks

Both expected (it was either going to be this or Escape Plan) and appreciated. Seems that it's one of the better launch games.

I thought it was a video game based on that old IGN podcast.

Was gifted it through a friend to review through GameTap, of all sources. No, I'm on a laptop with an nVidia G210m. Not a stellar card, mind you, but I can and do play through new games at 720p at medium settings at 30-60fps all the time. For GCI, at 800-600 min settings, I get 15fps... in challenge mode. Agreed on the matchmaking as well: no joining current games, wtf monolith.

PC version is to be heavily avoided as well. This game is a travesty on the PC. People, myself included, are having a terrible time with the frame rate. There's no discernible reason for this: none of the systems reporting these problems should have them. This game is so poorly optimized my head is reeling. Worse than launch day BLOPs, even.
