Ok, so the demo really impressed me so I know I'll have the full version soon. Plus, this game definitely deserves it's own thread! :heart:

What are your impressions of the game? Share your thoughts with the rest of us on either the demo or full version. :beer:

I love this game!!! I have to admit that the trophies are a little harder than I anticipated especially when compared to SSHD

How far have you made it? I hear it really steps up in dificulty around level 4?

This game is quite hard--a common theme amongst PJ games.

I've gotten through level 5 (I think). I honestly don't know if I'll be able to get all trophies

it definately does. I got all the seeds in Garden's 1 and 2 and just reached the 5th garden. I can't get 2 spectra's in garden 4 though because that one is rough!

This thread fell off quickly

I've now completed all spectre and seeds through garden 4. Trying to decide if I want to move on or try for some of the other trophies.

I'm sad to admit that the trophies are contributing quite a bit to the replay value.

I played the demo...took me a long time to figure out what I was doing, but I quickly picked up on some techniques. I just wish I had extra money right this moment to buy it.

The game is a great enjoyment. It takes a while to figure out the controls, and it's a bit on the tough side. However, it's a unique experience that I recommend anyone with a PS3 at least try.

LOL, people have figured out how to do the 3P trophy with one person

I am a little farther than you right now. I got all seeds and spectra through garden 5. Garden 7 is trippy as hell. Garden 8 is "different" and in Garden 9 you can't swing through pollen anymore (you'll see what I mean).

like mlm says, trophies definately play into me wanting to push further in the game.

I thought I was really gonna like it, but the demo just hasn't captured my attention yet. Its fun, but I would rather play PJ Monsters.

I finally got a chance to sit down and play this game for longer than 10 minutes last night, and I got to say that really enjoyed the experience. What a unique game this is.

I was surprised to find at the end of playing that it actually turned out to be a really relaxing game. It possesses this, sort of, zen like quality that I don't recall finding in other games. Anyone else get that?

But as far the actual gameplay goes, I had a tough time for the first hour, adapting to the movement because I'm so use to the left stick moving your guy around--but here it moves your web-spindle-pointer-thing. So you can jump in the direction you wish to go. Once leaving the ground and you kind of control you movement a la Mario, so you can shift to the left or right slowly. You can also swing and use the enertia you build up to grab pollen by throwing yourself in vertain directions. It probably sounds like a frustrating experience, but it's totally not!

Everyone with a PS3 should, at the very least, check out the demo.

Play it with 2 other people for awesome coop bug swinging action. Your buddy is just short of making that jump to the branch, but you shoot out and swing him up to safety. Or the other end you might accidentally jump and knock your buddy off and fling him to his death Its very fun with friends.
