The Maw Review

[Shuda7]

did anyone else get this game for free by Xbox?

[LukeHB21]

its actually a really enjoyable game

[Whatever4690]

It looks like a cheap platformer,but its actually quite good.

[roflsteaksauce]

this game kind of reminds me of Gex: Enter the Gecko for the n64 ...anyone agree

[XxhilfmirxX]

@roflsteaksauce kinda, but thats comparing a crappy game to the maw.. but i see what u meant

[jetblackc22]

At the end The Maw should vs the Prince from Beautiful Katamari

[AllThingsManly]

milly likes this game

[MiKEY83091]

oooo free gamer pics and a theme! WTF thats trash!

[RoweFilms]

@MiKEY83091 Actually, almost all games today make you pay for gamepics, and very, VERY few games give you a theme. It's quite generous actually.

[Spyrai]

did youtube just update.... the play bar is different

[DontEatPapa]

@Spyrai I know. It's weird... O_o

[Thechosendude509]

@Spyrai

Oh, I thought my computer changed the video player.

[chris97ong]

is this halo or what

[jlclvs2game]

Its 3 bucks for the game and expansions on steam until the 10th

[agentfire102]

@jlclvs2game the maw is for sell on steam well that's funny considering twisted pixel is a xbox live arcade only developer and i'm a proud member of steam an seen no such deal today i can't say you are telling the truth

[NerfSquad11]

Why the hell did I find this on a Halo vid? Oh..oh yeah.

[PazouwhProductions]

Might get this for my cousins y.. yeah ....my cousins.

[ricebunnee]

I'm sure the engine runs off SPLOSHIN MAN and not lucky charms :D

[forrest165]

Lilo and Stitch!

[MegaPandamusic]

lucky charemz :D

[MrHaon8203]

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!i got this game for free!!!it also came with a meh game called aqua.

[PazouwhProductions]

@MrHaon8203 how'd you get it free?

[MrHaon8203]

@PazouwhProductions i did a thing where if i got an extra month of xbl i would get sent 2 free games which was The Maw and Aqua

[PazouwhProductions]

@MrHaon8203 Cool :P

[Vincebandicot521]

Can't wait to play...

[oskarhellquist]

Lol, got it from xbox live for free :D

[ironmugg]

@oskarhellquist I was supposed to..........

DAMN YOU MICROSOFT!

[kumbaso18]

awesome! im sold!

[ajko000]

when i saw this i thought you would play AS the maw... sadly no, but you pretty much do, just very limited.... its still fun though, if only i had the points >.<

[ThaWhiteItalian]

I think this game runs off acid not lucky charms

[rubbe]

TO SHORT GAME

[blacksushi150]

@rubbe ITS A ARCADE GAME

[tidwindi]

"I'm pretty sure the engine runs off lucky charms" lol

[meowkid47]

lol if this was on Wii this *reviewer* would hate it.

What a fuckhead.

[Enayjay16]

@meowkid47 Yeah, I don't think it would be as appealing without the graphics...

[masterchief7771]

this game is lol, but its pwn

[Ufnym]

niiice!

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Holy shit did the maw just turn into a Doom Demon? 1:01

[thethrifter1]

If anything I prefer The Maw over Splosion Man, more my kind of game.

Damn short though.

[Biankito]

The Maw will be 400 Microsoft Points next week (begining on the 21st).

Shadow Complex will be 800 Microsoft Points as well.

Both games normally run for 800 and 1200 respectively.

Good chance to get them both!

[onemanarmy675]

Really? Now I can get 'Splosion Man and The Maw, I was wondering which one I should get

[Marzell765]

I would get this XD

[shanno63]

i got it when it came out i wasnt very satisfied with the lenght but it was an okay game

[smoke489]

Looks like a great game to me.

It's 1,20€ on steam. ( = 1$ 20c )

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

no, that equals like 2 dollars and 10 cents

[smoke489]

Yes technically, but steam don't convert the currency.

For steam 1€ = 1$

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

so that means that americans get a massive break and brits have to fork over double the money? aweshum

[Shaqstheman000]

is this worth 800MP

[lradmclovin]

get splosion man, i ahvent played the maw but that is awesome

[StoniestStoned]

ya the maw is. and it has 3 dlc each for 100 and a total gamerscore of 50. really funny too! youll laugh everytime u see ur favorite scene.

[Drivingnoobs]

@Shaqstheman000 it's more like a 400 mp game.

not worth it :(

[thatsupergirl]

I just played the demo via Steam and I want this game so badly now!

[punkmario06]

wow, i enjoy it, but too simple to easy to short, its a 400 pointer, get it when it becomes (if ever) deal of the week,

[death5639]

I love this game im 14 but its fun and fucking halirious

[jedidave132]

AND A FUGGIN STEAM GAME TOO

[DECA555]

taking "a page" from kirby?

try the whole fucking book.

[st00pidity]

if your saying all there is to kirby is eating shit, then yeah.. pretty much, because other than that it's hard to see how the maw has anything else in common with kirby.

[DanTheGerbil360]

I got this in the rlease week and completed in a few hours. Great fun 10/10 I may go back to ti to mop up the 70G I missed to show my love for this game. er...

[jatfar]

Just completed it. Great fun. Funny characters and a good little story. Definately worth getting. Xbox could do with more light hearted stuff like this. Hope twisted pixel's next XBLA release, "Splosion man", is just as good.

[RaoulLikesEther]

haha

at the end, when the Maw ran away

He was just like "...where the fuck are you going?"

[roelvy]

looks funny

[findlay27]

"So any looking for a game to let their young child toy around with should definatly check this out"

Wh.. WHAT? I'm 17 and I think this game looks AWESOME! I'm actualy planning on buying the full game =D IGN... that comment was just insulting and wrong! Fair review

[Stradivari91]

mmmmmmmm

[falmouthleedsfan]

i thought this would be the last level of halo combat evolved

[mathsquadforlife]

lawls

[lemonystuff]

im getting the steam version demo, is that version good?

[MagePriestLock]

u cant even play the demo. it just send u to the buy page of

The Maw

[YouNeverIever]

this game is very funny

[beobug]

just bought it and im stuck on the second level where theres this eletric flower thing with some question marks on it but the maw wont eat it

any one help?

[bartpetat]

press B, I was stuck at the same point for a long time :P

[CappuccinO80]

I love this game. It's just the quota of cuteness/fun that XBOX 360 is missing from its games. Shooters are starting to bore me a little.

[KarlBryannTe]

Fuck You.... You are retarded

[fonzie2233]

Great looking game... i downloaded it. Over before you know it about 2 hrs. Wonderful for young gamers... 4-12. I played through it once but will play again to collect all the hidden monsters you have to eat. Great main character and sidekick rocks. thumbs up!

[grn100cash]

I like this game its fun. Im tires of street fighter for and the kens/akumas children that only pick them

[bobbydee30g]

Nope sorry I'm more of a Ryu man.

[alston2reel]

its made usig XNA and its a very fun game i love this game

[ShoobyBugger]

Kind of a rip-off of Katamari, i think.

[nacholover94]

yeah like a combination of kirby and katamari

[EdenEdits]

I will download the demo through steam, looks interesting

[AmorxSabroso]

I got this game knowing how short it is, and it's lots of fun. My daughter fell in love with it the first moment that I started the game. It's pretty easy for me, but my daughter will take days or even a month to figure it out (of course she is only 4, but a pretty fast learner).

[Einhanderkiller]

Get this game on Steam.

[1stef3]

ign ur reviews just keep getting shorter and shorter, u didnt actually even get into the game u just sumed it up in a few sentences, i know u guys dont have much time but common at leat 3 mins would be good!!

[weegit99]

shiz shiz shiz shiz shiz shiz shiz

[fishspoons]

ahh ign, in just under 2 minutes, you told me almost nothing about the quality of the game.

this was more of an advert then anything.

[Tusumaki]

livefan23

its a arcade game and in the maw u create nothing so it isn't like LBP in anyway, shape or form. Only thing that connects them is they are both games so get over it and stop being a ps3 fanboy.

[livefan23]

Maybe I was wrong comparing it to LBP and so what if I'm a PS3 fanboy and have one too.

[Animespara]

amazing..to bad it isnt for the Playstation Network but its ok, I cant wait for Flower and some other games :)

[thenewf01]

i got this game its so fun XD

[iwanttoliveinawigwam]

This looks like fun, too bad I don't own a xbox.

[JalstonFilms]

ok.. little big planet is an awsome game... but what hell does that have to do with this game??????

[Madchimpz]

What the hell does this have to do with Little Big Planet?

[iTsTimeToBBQ]

I don't see how this relates to LBP...

[livefan23]

It's a platformer and think of the maw as your creation

[iTsTimeToBBQ]

Thing is, its different, LPB you walk from side to side and could customize your chracter, While this one you cant customize it and plus its an arcade game.

[clsk8er]

why are u comparing this to lbp dumbass, lbp is a completely different game. but i do love lbp

[iTsTimeToBBQ]

I was comparing it for livefan23

He said the maw was a LBP wanna be, and i was telling him the differences.Look at the comments below.

[Lee038]

...Are you OK?

[deluxedookie]

people arent too smart theses days.

[iTsTimeToBBQ]

LOL, You made my day. :]

Now i feel stupid Haha.

[Retrogamer71]

Neat.

[sonicpacker]

eh...

[Nintendohead117]

Kinda odd though, every time i hear the name I think of the last level of halo, oh hey, almost all the related videos are of the maw in halo, roflmao.

[Thrall320]

Same with me.

...lol, your right!

[killerbandit]

Sweet...

[FreakguyX]

Can you tell why you say first, knowing you'll receive tons of thumbs down, mean comments, and nothing more? I actually wanna know.

[hsapin]

looks cool

[jtarrant617]

look good

[TechnoPandaa]

Looks cool.

[DawctaPhail]

shut the fuck up

[Outsider001]

Epic fail, the both of you.
