    I was really looking forward to this game, because I liked the very original Trailer. But now that I played it for about 10 Minutes….NO. Not worth 400 Points in my opinion.

    I haven’t felt the need to buy an XBLA game since Splosion Man. I’ll take this if I can get it free, but that’s the only way.

    Wow people, if Perfect Dark is 1200 points you won’t download the demo either? IGN gave it an 8.9 and said it was one of the best XBLA games in a long time, 10 hour single player, multiplayer with 5 modes with bots? What do you people want? It’s 2 $15 dollar pc games packaged into 1 $15 xbla game. All these people who rail on a game without playing it because of its price are starting to piss me off. This game has more than some $60 games. Think about Terminator Salvation, 4 hour terrible single player no multiplayer. This has more than 2x the single player plus legitimately good multiplayer.

    Looks really fun and all, I liked the demo but I am not going to give 1200 ms points for it.

    Sorry, but that’s just too expansive.

    @Shadow0810 – That’s Perfect Dark, this is Darwinia (moar like Darfailia lolol). I agree that people should try before they (don’t) buy though. It’s only 65 meg after all.

    People on here are so annoying! This game was amazing, and has lots of content… looks like when I go buy points for the new Dragon Age DLC I’ll be getting 2800 instead of 1400 so I can buy this as well!! Amazing game..

    Omg so overpriced. I can’t believe they want $15 for a $30 dollar PC game. 50% cheaper isn’t enough. it should be 47.3 MS Points!!!11

    I tried this on the PC years ago and didn’t care for it. Poor choice for translation to XBLA. Where the heck is Bookworm Adventures and Zuma’s Revenge??

    To those trying this out, after doing the 2 single player, definitely try out multiwinia, my favorite part of the package.

    So it’s okay to spend $60 on 20 hours of fun, but not $15 for 10? I don’t get you people.

    For a company trying to stay afloat by this game, you’d think they would have priced it at 800 points. I honestly dont see this doing well at 1200 points.

    Nice game, hence the prizes it won… back when it was released. I do agree, it’s good, and it’s 2 games in one (Darwinia + Multiwinia) but still is overpriced. And it’s not cause the graphics or being old, is just the contents. Compare it to shadow complex in example, and you’ll get it. And there is no point defending so hard develores and microsoft like they were your pimps. 1200 being overpriced is as true as 400 would be hella cheap.

    Besides, to all naysayers not giving it a try I’ll tell ’em the game plays somewhat like the old pc games “cannon fodder” and “lemmings” mixed together with a geometry wars / tron twist to it.

    I’ll be happy to get it at the corresponding deal of the week, when it will be 800 or 560. Oh, it has AVATAR AWARDS (now you’ll see part of the haters jumping in, lol) By the way, don’t have any spare points at the moment and this one won’t be the excuse to buy a 4200 card.

    Cheers.

    I used to enjoy reading the comments on the Major’s site, but now every thread seems to be dominated by people whining about something, usually the price of XBLA content.

    Having played Darwinia on the PC and enjoyed it, I naively thought that there might be a few messages on here commenting on the gameplay, how it compares with the PC version, extra features etc.. How stupid of me – I now see all that matters is how many MS points it costs…..

    Great game, bought it day1 (also bought the pc version when it came out, but didnt play that one enough), keep up the good work introversion.

    I hear a lot of folks here complaining, and sure, it could have been 800msp but c´mon, this is a developer who has brought us uplink, darwinia and defcon and these are all really really great and unusual games that most developers wouldnt even try to make, and if they(introversion) alienate the 360 because of the long dev cycle on this game = no profit or if they go down on this, it would really be a shame. I´d love to see defcon for XBLA!
