Demo is horrible
Find things in the picture? Surely there's more to this game than that? Surely? No brain required? Sheesh. etc

Re: Demo is horrible
This genre of gaming (find stuff hidden in a over-detailed image) is pretty popular among the casual PC crowd, so it had to show up on XBLA eventually. Not that I really know why... The XBLA portfolio manager is off his rocker.

It should be an easy 200 at least, I guess?

Unless you have a standard def TV because then it is pretty much unplayable.

I agree this game looks so bad on my HDTV, it's all murky and blurry. To bad I so wanted to buy it.

Yeah, even in HD it's too small! I have a second screen on my computer desk which I play on, so I'm always sitting close, but I can only imagine how much of a pain this is to play on a 42" HDTV across a living room. Has to be impossible...

Yeah I'm suprised at how blurry and hard to see it can be on some maps even on a nice HDTV.  I have to assume this is done on purpose...but IMO they can still make the game challenging without making it so blurry.  Still fun though!

I think it's plenty of fun.  I got a chair up really close to the TV while playing.  It's the same way people play Geometry Wars.

Re: Demo is horrible
It's only blurry because it seems like a port (it probably is). Feels like one of those MECC titles of the 1990s. Even the music has that video games 1990s style to it. Anyway, I was playing with my family earlier and we all had a great time tracking and collecting the objects. It was a real blast and got through right to the end in no time. Sure, it's not much of a challenge gameplay-wise but hey, it's a find and seek title. If it's not your cup, then move on and find something else from the catalog.
