lol =D

but anyway.. get this game! The reviews are right on this one.

If you like a challenge, like to think that you're a smart dude, and want a sense of true accomplishment, I'd not wait one second longer.

Well, you've all convinced me to buy it, atleast. Thing is, in the gaming stores around here, it's still full price - 500kr. There are so many games coming out this fall, I don't know if I want to "waste" a full-price purchase on this, when it should be a lot cheaper by now :/ Any tips or thoughts?

Holy crap, didn't realize they were still charging full price over there, and I can't find it on Sweden's eBay site either.

Check whatever your equivalent of Craigslist is, or try to track down a used copy. Not very good advice, I know, but I'm not really familiar with the situation where you live, so there's not a whole lot I can say. Sorry.

Frankly I wouldn't buy it for full price
some of the puzzle are fun, but in general they're only so-so, and there are too many deaths that are a result of simply walking were you weren't supposed to

Plus I found the characters genuinely obnoxious, if you can't stand loads of beebleese or what they call it's gebberish coming out of really annoying looking characters you wont' be able to play through it

wait for sam and max

Thanks for the tip, you reminded me of Pricerunner :) I found it fairly cheap, and ordered it.

There's no Toys'R'Us in Sweden!? Globalization has truly failed us.

Things you'll like: The puzzles and unique game style

Things you won't like: The dialog.

So if you buy the game for the game play then it'll be well worth it. If you think there might be a good story to go with the game play... well you won't like what you get.

Please, I would never be so brutish to resort to physical violence as a means of persuasion. That's what public humiliation, extortion, and framing people for crimes they didn't commit are for.

That stinks that they haven't dropped the price on it where you are, though. Still, I paid $45 and don't regret the purchase at all. Charming characters, creative interface, and the best puzzles I've found on Wii so far. The interface is a little clunky in a couple spots, but I've also learned a lot about using the Wii remote since I got this game. Let me know if the music minigames give you trouble, I know the secret to them. ;)

You should be able to hunt down a used copy somewhere, I would think.
