Really, well, the title of the DLC for The Maw was really confusing, "Deletes Scenes" is not befitting. I was late getting on the boat and it did bother me just a bit. The compression confused a lot of people and made them feel 'jipped', even though The Maw is an EXCELLENT simple game. I'm hoping for The Maw II, but a longer and retail version if possible. It was really refreshing and surprising and very colorful WITHOUT being 'girly'.

Hopefully Splosion Man will not get any bad press as it is an awesome game. Just keep the names simple, not based off 'movies'. You'd think advertising/marketing would have caught that.

It`s already on the marketplace on xbox.com. Go and grab it. I just bought the Fullversion straight away, because of the good reviews.

I see, well I heard there was some backlash about the for DLC for the Maw, but I didn't know it was such a big deal, certainly didn't know that the developers were upset about it.

I really enjoyed The Maw and I plan to enjoy Splosion Man just as much, Twisted Pixel are very talented, and the prices of their games so far has been really good for the quality.

I look forward to all future game releases from them.

Just thought I'd point out for anyone who might still be oblivious to that fact. But yeah, the developers seemed pretty upset about the amount of negativity they got over the Maw's DLC and they said they'd be very reluncted to bother offering any in the future, so I'd assume this won't have any.

Erm I not assuming anything. I am just wondering if there'll be DLC for Splosion Man :o)

Incase that was meant as a dig at the Maw, the "deleted scenes" weren't levels that were cut from the game, they were 100% new levels that were created once the game was out. They were only named "deleted scenes" to sound like a DVD feature, something the developers said they regreted and because of that, they likely won't be doing DLC again because of the huge amount of negative feedback they got from it.. Sigh, if only people would pay attention and not just hop on the band wagon, assuming all DLC should be in the game to begin with.

I'm getting this as soon as it's available. Any plans for "deleted scenes"?

LoL - This is what makes a great game,

A sense of humo(u)r from the Developers & great additional content.

This is what makes me spend additional MS Points on DLC - like the MAW :)

Sounds like something straight out of Toe Jam and Earl with that tutu. :) I am looking forward to this title.

I just read through the IGN review too. A couple things in it made me laugh like "Exploding near a scientist will cause them to hemorrhage neatly packaged deli meats, a sight that never gets old." and also "If you do get stuck, and you die enough times, the game will give you the option of taking the "Way of the Coward" and skipping to the next level. If you do, though, you'll receive a terrible score for that stage and have to wear a ballerina tutu until you complete the next area." Hahaha this game is just so full of awesome! :D

I am totally excited about this game! Especially because of all the incentives, like; 1-4 players, Avatar unlockables, free premium theme and gamerpics! Good times, and thanks to IGN's 9/10 review, I can't wait till Wednesday.

Amen to that, WinterSnowblind! Instead of all the old tired fighting games, XBLA needs more challenging puzzle platformers like this one and Lode Runner, and the return of more classic adventure games like Monkey Island.

If you're even remotely interested in this kind of game, you owe it to yourself to get Splosion Man. With 50 single-player levels, 50 multiplayer levels with 4-player co-op, and a FREE unlockable premium theme, gamerpics, AND the first Avatar accessories available all for only 800 points, this is definitely the best bang (or maybe kaboom?) for your buck in the Summer of Arcade! Bring on the Splosion Man!

Looking forward to this a lot, more original platform games like this are exactly what XBLA needs. Sad to see it ignored in favour of overpriced ports of old fighting games..
