Dust: An Elysian Tail, an entry in Microsoft's XNA Dream Build Play competition, is not only the best looking video game we've seen from the contest, it might be the best looking downloadable Xbox 360 title ever.

In fact, I'm having a hard time believing it's playable. But considering Dust: An Elysian Tail appears to be based on the animated film Elysian Tail, likely giving the developers access to top notch animation, I'm willing to suspend disbelief.

Watch this gorgeous teaser. Don't let the XNA thing frighten you.

Looks o.k.

yeah suppose does look quite nice but nothing special.

I cant see it

I've been following the development of this for a while. It had better fucking win!

OMG!!!!! indeed.

Looks gorgeous!

looks great visually but its not hard to believe. gameplay looks kind of boring though.

SONY needs to step there game up and shit like this....im so jealous..fuck fuck fuck

This won't get a good rating. I mean, the gameplay looks dull. It's the kiddie pool of game mechanics: hold right and mash the attack button.
