Editorial Reviews :
The world's first 4-D action game! Play as a cool, clever cat on a quest to fix glitches in time. In this warped world, you'll use your tricked-out multi-purpose time sweeper to clear obstacles and collect items. Collecting time crystals allows you to actually control the flow of time for a fourth dimension of totally unique gameplay. Just like using a VCR remote control in the real world, you can pause or slow-motion the world while you move in real-time to get an edge over your enemies. Rewind the world to re-open hidden passages or get another try at a challenge. Record the action and then play the game with your pre-recorded character. Use your wages to buy more powerful sweepers to pick up things more quickly or move huge obstacles blocking undiscovered areas. You can buy other cooler gear to enhance your abilities. Check out over 30 fantastical levels in 'warped-reality worlds: Venice, Canyons, Caves, Ancient Ruins, even a 'forth dimension.' Hidden items and areas all over the warped worlds add hours of replayability.
Buyer Reviews :
Blinx - what is it? In some ways its a clone of numerous 3rd person 3D Mario-like games. Run around worlds, jump up and down, defeat monsters, save a princess. So why is it being so hyped?
Because it's worth the hype.
Graphics: Superb, a cut above other games of its kind. Each world has its own look and feel - with a color depth and detail that are astonishing. The underwater world alone is proof positive of the care the developers took in making this game.
Gameplay: Simple. You can jump in and figure out the game in minutes. Powers and new gadgets are not difficult to attain - but you do have to think a little to get them. As you get them, gameplay becomes deeper and deeper.
New Twists: The time powers can be described with one word. Fun. Dizzingly fun. It literally does add a 4th dimension to the game. What to do when the river's current was against me, and logs are falling on me as they wash down a waterfall? Simple. Hit rewind: the river's current reverses carrying me forward, jump on a log, and be carried up the waterfall to a section you'd never be able to get to without that power. The full replay of your completed level as your points are tallied is another great touch.
Replay Value: Tremendous. You have to go back to old levels once you get new powers and gadgets, because there is so much more to explore and hidden treasures to find -- and they can only be found with those new powers! Replay was built into the game structure. Add on the desire to get the fastest time on each level, and you have a game that's addictive in the most extreme way. (You have 10 minutes to complete each - another addictive factor. 'Hey, I have time for one more level...')
Final word: Blinx is an old concept that is beautifully executed, and adds new twists that make all the difference. Get this game. Be forewarned: you may not be able to stop playing.
