Bought it a few days ago, and enjoying thoroughly.
But I'm pretty sure the problem is that it isn't very clear what sort of game it is.
Most games, you can look at the box and get some idea what's inside: big muscly guy with guns means it has got shooting in it; ninjas do ninjaey things; shiny cars means some racing; ugly guys in a city means GTA and a little guy with a sword means adventuring.
This has a picture of a snake and a spider.
But no indication of what you do with them.
Read the back it says you 'play as' a spider and a scorpion. Yeah, but play *what* as them?
I didn't expect a combo beat-em-up (usually steer clear, but having a whale of a time here), I didn't expect the relative linearity of the chapters - thought there would be more open exploring. Didn't expect the story, or the parallel plotting.
Got it on whim - and how many people are going to do that?
It'll sell, if at all, on slow word of mouth. And - a few irritating bugs aside - it'll get some from me.
