So it's the first of the 'Summer of Arcade' (SOA) games "Brothers - a Tale of Two Sons."
I tried the demo today, notice these things:
It just drops you in - and you have to figure stuff out. Reminds me of Limbo, but not so much dying and brutal murder.
It's really pretty - I felt like I was watching/playing a Myazaki movie (Which is a huge complement.) It's from Swedish film director, Josef Fares Some of his movies include: 'Balls', 'I Leo', 'Zozo' and more. You are in a charming little picturesque world - looks great on my big TV.
It a single player co-op. Interesting way to play. I wish you could spread it across two controllers for my nephews. As a non violet game I think many parents would approve.
It's an adventure - you probably don't kill things (unless you do like me and drop a poor sheep off a big waterfall - sorry sheep!) So it would be good for little ones - or for people wanting to be mello (like some of the Lego games.)
Wish I had realized the should buttons control the camera. (Helpful tip!)
Here it the game if you are interested: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Brothers/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584112a5
It's out now on the Xbox 360, 9-3 for the PS3, and 8-28 for the PC.
What do you think of the game? Did you get it? Is it worth it?
