However, the NGC score was (although probably more acurate) still very harsh.
I have played the game for about 3 hours and am about 20% through, although I admit I looked at the guide that came with CUBE#14 once.
20% in 3 hours means, unless it gets much harder, I will take 15 hours to finish the game, which is rather different from the 30 hours of gameplay once estimated...

It's a bit small, though.
And those advertisment banners at the front door just get in the way.

That's where I went to.
The GAME at Braehead.
It's pretty near me though - I go there quite often. :-D

Nope, I think they were far too harsh on it with 72%.
They were just disappointed with it's overall outcome, I think.
If it was any game that hadn't been hyped up for months on end, then it probably would've scored around 80 - 90 percent, but seeing as it was a game that was meant to be a masterpiece, and was only just a good game, then I think that's why they gave it such a low rating.
Some people may not like it, but I think it's really good.

Yeah, went down to GAME and got it this morning.
Been playing it most of the day.
