So I bought this game, and played it because all the game mags and critics said how awesome it is.

And it wasn't so bad, the storyline was pretty good, the gameplay was aiight, and I liked taking pictures.


The absolute worst thing about this, (and Kionae can justify this by all my *****y emails to her), was the GLITCHES.

I had 2 major glitches - onece where HH is supposed to follow you into a room - he wasn't there, restarted about 7 times before it worked.

The 2nd was towards the end where Jade, Peyj and HH are supposed to stand on an elevator - my HH wouldn't stand on the circle.


Otherwise it wasn't so bad...

Meh, the book was better imo

But seriously, I couldn't get into this serie. It just felt really...weird. Not really an attractive game, even if I was all excited because of the apparently awesome storyline. Meh.

Game was great. Had no glitches and no qualms.

The story drifted in and out and it was too short...but good nonetheless. Made me feel like a kid again, playing Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. Truly innovative game.

I did like the stealthyness of it, because you don't really fight that much in this game. I also liked the puzzles as well.

The glitches ruined it for me though

Trust me, those are pretty isolated affairs. I've never witnessed either of them myself. The only glitch I've ever experienced was on the spacestation, where I somehow managed to fall through the scenery... and was able to walk on the moon!

There's not much I can say about the game, because not much needs to be said, other than the fact that it's one of the most well refined, perfectly made, and underappreciated games of all time. A hidden gem of a classic, if ever there were one.

You must just be one of those people that glitches track down and haunt, because I never had a problem with BG&E, and neither did any of the friends I lent the game to.

I bought it after reading all the hype about it. Thought it was wank and took it back.

Way overhyped.

i bought it for 7$ at media play + 40% because they were going out of business, so it ended up being 4 brand new.
I like this kind of game, the controls were clunky but not too bad. it reminded me of the platformers on the 64 i played growing up like banjo kazooie.
I really enjoyed it, and never had a glitch problem that i can remember. they should make more platformers. i just cant complain when i bought it brand new for less then what it costs to rent it.

I got a fairly good deal on mine as well, $9 used, and the music was absolutely awesome.

I just don't know why everyone thought it was this amazing game..it was good ,but not overwhelmingly awesome.
