Have you got Gold on all the levels? I severely doubt it.

This is true. It is pretty easy to get through all the levels, but getting gold on them all is bloody tricky.

Why would you bother? Its massively boring!

I WANTED to love this game so much, but its not the perfect pick up and play party game people are starting to think it is.

For a challenge, perhaps? Like you just mentioned, y'know?

Nope but I know that people would appreciate a good deal for the game so I post it if I see it. I'm waiting for it to be around £10 before I get it.

Bah, sorry.

Well, when people came mine to play it it was often unwieldy, and often the game registered input mistakes. It just would be so much better with 1:1.

I'm obviously not slating it for the sake of it, as I bought it for £39.99 on release, but it went back within ten days. Theres just quite a lot of better party games at the moment. The ideas great, the executions not quite there though.

Look, stop putting me off ! I've ordered the bloody thing now and play.com won't let me cancel it.

FFS Play.

Procure yourselves some strawberry floating stock you strawberry floating strawberry floats.

Make sure you check out Woolworths, they were selling it at £19.97 instore when I checked earlier today, unfortunately they were out of stock at the time.

I looked in Game and they were selling a pre-owned copy for £34.99!!! EA fixing second hand game prices FTL.

Argos are also selling it at £20, with the benefit that you can check stock and reserve it before you go.

Not sure how you proclaim that its not a great party game 4 wii motes 4 people is an absoloute blast played it for hours and the single player mode is quite great really. When you unlock the Hard explore part and adventure modes god some are so hard its a very good game i bought it at £30 and never looked back ploughed loads of hours into this single player and multiplayer.

The Controls only have issues at times but i never seem to find many problems. MP would make it better and i do hope we see a second.

Now for anyone still playing I have managed to get gold on all/most of the normal levels but when you unlock the hard explore or whatever its called i'm getting stuck and the adventure the harder version some real tough ones just wondered how far some of you have got.

Zavvi seem to have more stock @£16. The delivery time has gone down from 8-10 days to 1-2 days.

I think I might bite and try and cancel the Play order. I guess I'm going to have give them a ring?

Try the old - 'I've ordered it as a presnet and now its too late' excuse - works every time !!

My copy arrived today (from Zavvi), so I suppose I should probably attempt to rectify the Play situation.

And maybe actually play the game.

I've been playing for a couple of hours.

The game is pretty much as fun as expected, but the presentation is a lot worse than I was led to believe. I thought people were just being sniffy at all the cutesy animal stuff, but everything from the menus and interface to the music just feel really amateurish.

Luckily the game mechanics are incredibly tactile and intuitive.

Bomb Blox > all (based on what I have tried so far).

Oh balls. My order from Play arrived today (exactly one month since I placed the order).

Oh well, back it goes.

This is going for £15 on game's website

Play.com posted mine on the 31st October and it still hasn't arrived.
