so this is pretty chill

I just finished it. A very unique experience. I've certainly played no other game like it. The art, music & motion control + vibration worked together really well. As original as it is however, I just didn't find it terribly compelling. There's really not much game there. As you say, "pretty chill." So chill, it provides about the same amount of fun if you're holding the controller or not. The next to last level is really the only one to offer any gameplay, and at that, just barely. Anyhow, I'm glad I experienced it, but methinks some of the praise its been getting is a little over the top. It's also way fucking schmaltzy.

ya.. i agree... but i did enjoy it. definitely unique, definitely satisfying on some half-game, half-aesthetic level.

so I pretty much love this a whole lot. I'm not quite know sure how to talk about it without sounding like one of those Games As Art turds, but this game is so great and I apparently haven't even gotten to the revelatory part yet (fortunately the game gives you a trophy for sitting at the start screen for 10 minutes, which is conveniently just enough time to write furious emails/posts to e-bros to get off they asses and buy this game NOW NOW NOW) that it may be unavoidable.

also it pretty much single-handedly justifies the purchase of a 1080p tv.

but then again Music for Airports is one of my favorite albums ever so YMMV.
