Just finished the first world and I'm not seeing the difficulty people are on about. Don't feel like the framerate is an issue either. It only chugs in situations where I don't have control, at least so far. It's never made me miss a jump or anything.
I'm having fun with the game and I'd maybe double dip for a steam version. I only bought on XBLA because I have so many points left over from ages ago.

My body is ready.... TO SPLODE!
If its anything like the first, the difficulty will spike up drastically closer to the end. I hope not.DeadRockstar said:
Played the demo and ahah I enjoyed it!
I'm probably gonna wait until I've heard more impressions of later levels though, finish up some other downloadable games first.Seraphinianus

Yeah, I'm sure you guys are right about the difficulty ramping up. What prompted my comment about that was really this weeks bombcast. Jeff said he'd only just started the game but it wasn't fucking around with the difficulty and it was on from the start. Brad was talking about how it was cheap difficulty as well. So far I don't agree with them but we'll see how it goes.

Unlocking "Splode beneath my splosion" in the mall is the best 20 virtual coins ever spent.

Ran through the first world and most of world 2 Co-op online(4players the whole time). Minimal lag and great teamwork since we all had mics. It was great. Played from 9:30 to 3pm. I feel like a gamer again.

Played the first level over lunch. Can't wait to see more. Also, I just read what they're planning to do with the Title Update System.
Via Joystiq
"...One such indication of this is today's launch day announcement that the "TMS" (or "Title Managed Storage" system, as explained here) will add "special rules and new content" to existing levels on a rolling weekly basis. Like previous TMS-assisted titles (Super Meat Boy, Monday Night Combat), no patch or update will be required for the new content to appear in the game."

getting up to 1-7, I probably died about 30 times...many of those were just from not paying attention. Each level is harder than the one before, but there were only a few parts in 1-5 that were kinda cheap, but they are easy once you see what you have to do.
I think those guys generally get intimidated by harder games, don't they? I might have them confused with somebody else though.

Just got this myself for 800msp, going to be fun getting back into the Splosion-groove again!
On another note, I never considered the original any sort of legitimately hard platformer...is this one any different? Would be great if yes, I always thought the original could have used a bit more difficulty in it's level design.
I also wonder what the new "donuts song" will be...

Played the trial, and Ms. Sposion Man is hilarious. All of her dancing, and quotes are great. Will pick this up as soon as I have some points.

This game is an absolute blast to play and the whole experience is greatly enhanced with all of Ms. Splosion Man's idle dance moves and pop-culture references. I just can't get enough of what the game offers and I'm really enjoying the difficulty thus far. The game just makes me crack the biggest smile. I almost lost it when I went to take a sip of my drink and Ms. Splosion Man is saying an Ace of Base reference, followed by doing the Dougie. I just love all the attention to detail, it's amazing IMO.

I loved 'Splosion Man, so I will definitely pick this up soon. Good to hear it's humorous and challenging. Just the way I like my 'splosions.

All right, I'm going to skip the "this game is amazing" for later. I just want to say...
I LOVE the music to this game. I liked Maw's music, really liked Splosion Man's music, so-so with Comic Jumper's, but Ms. Splosion Man is really excellent on the music side. Very excellent. The main-ish theme in the first word, called something "city" in the mall of downloadables, is incredibly well-done and super catchy. Is it just me? Really, well-done to the composers.

Well there you go.Nert said:
Man, just took 20 minutes to clear 1-12 while getting the shoes. That level was waaaay harder than anything from the first game already.
I know Jeff is different, but does 4/5 seem like a good score for a game that everyone agrees had really boring, tedious gameplay? Yeah it was funny as hell, but so is Ms. Splosion Man, and the gameplay here is solid. It just looks weird from an overall perspective.
