Video Review 8: Lode Runner
Format: Xbox 360 (XBLA)
Lode Runner is an update of an 80s classic and as usual for platform games I am completely useless at it!!

Thanks for the quick review and the history part in the beginning. Good stuff.

Thanks

I initially looked up the history stuff before the game was released, but it turns out there is actually a good background section included in the game itself

@kaitengiri

Jumping define a platformer...

And its not a platformer, I agree. It's a puzzle-platformer.

This is about one of 8 XBLA games I want to get.

and there is also a good and simple level editor included so yeah 1200 ms points is a good price

Good review, but it isn't a platformer. Not by a long shot. You can't even jump in any of the incarnations of Lode Runner!

how can people think that this game isn't worth 1200? there are so many levels and the 50 puzzles are very tough (not the first 15 or so) i still am having a very hard time finishing 30 of them. plus add on the vs. and the coop? DEF. worth 1200 even if you arn't a fan...a well made very tough puzzle game.

great vid btw, really shows you what you can expect

Seems that it was priced wrong the first day or so.. Now it's 1200 msPoints. Guess i got lucky :)

[Afroknas]

The game is 800? I bought it for that!

[MrAppleby56]

it's 1200? fuck, that really is the new 800 now :(

[ninigou1983]

i tried the demo this morning and my conclusion is that this game doesn't worth 1200 MS points at all, 800 at best
