8.3 biznatches!

Every once in a while, you play a game that reminds you of what you're missing. PC gaming is full of deadly serious games, from Call of Duty, to Rome: Total War to Max Payne, so running into something like Scrapland is like finding a balloon artist at a wake. Like all good humor, it's more than just funny lines or goofy-looking creatures. It's also about situations and slightly subversive overtones

* 9.0 * Presentation
The production values are something you'd expect from a triple-A publisher. *
* 8.8 * Graphics
Varied and very imaginative art style makes Chimera a neat world to call your playground. *
* 9.0 * Sound
Great voice acting, lots of sound effects, and a polished soundtrack. *
* 7.0 * Gameplay
It's fun, but it's also too linear, there's too much running around, and reconstructing ships is just too expensive. *
* 8.0 * Lasting Appeal
If you liked Beyond Good & Evil, you'll like Scrapland. If you never play either, you're missing out, in my opinion. *
8.3
OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

Sounds intriguing. But with so many games coming out this is going on my 'To buy in the future' list!

the demo was sweet! Must buy if you liked Metal Arms, R&C, or Beyond Good and Evil

Is this game still supposed to come out on Xbox? If so, I hope it's soon (but after the holidays of course)!

I love Metal Arms, gamespot says late jan 2005 for the xbox version, I hope that is still true.

These are Xbox screenshots, damn the game looks awesome.

Don't know... the demo was kinda fun, but unlike BG&E, it seemed to have a lot of arbitrary goals that weren't well-integrated into the plot. May pick it up eventually, though.
