i was skeptical, but i actually like this game! the animation is the best i’ve ever seen in a game and the games are fun. miracle max’s lair is trippy and cool to watch, my daughter and i played for what seemed like forever. then i played by myself and had a great time. needless to say i did download it…

Do they not understand that their target audience is pushing 30?

This is a game based on a beloved 80s fantasy movie. Not “based on” as in “completely reimagined for a new generation” — these characters look exactly like they did in the film. Since the minigames probably aren’t all that compelling on their own, the main reason to buy this thing is that you grew up screaming INCONCEIVABLE!

It’s fine to have a kiddy mode to play with your daughter or something, but “too easy to be fun for the grown ups”?

Please.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go download and probably register a copy. o_o

As one of those cynical RPS readers, I’ll go sit in the corner now :D. I think I’m just scarred from the voice acting from the terrible mini-game that was on the newest Princess Bride DVD release.

The Princess Bride was the sweetest movie ever. The game had no chance, it could never compare.

Last time I checked, he even includes an explanation in the FAQ on his official website. Though I suspect 90% of those doing the asking do know and just think they’re being really bloody funny.

The fact Stephen King STILL gets long, occasionally aggressive begging letters to release the rights is one of my favourite features of contemporary literature.

Tsk. Stephen King, shurely?

Game seems meh, but let’s all buy 17 copies of this each, maybe it’ll cause the developers to get proactive, kidnap William Goldman and force him at knife point to finish Buttercup’s Baby, which they can then adapt into a sequel while we all get to read the book.

You know, I might get this on the strength of Patinkin’s performance in “Elmo’s…” alone. Wicked supervillainy.

This fills me with foreboding. Also, hindboding, eightboding, and illboding. Sounds like they’re planning on a remake of the film. Hope not.

Sounds… interesting, to say the least. Except for that “Clique Girls”… thing.

I would do some lamb-basting, but I need sleep before work.
