Funny thing is, I ain't got it yet, but I'm off to town now to buy it :)
I'll post my first impressions and what I generally think are "claws & flaws" later.
Bosses should be banned. And anyone found programming one should be burned.
Not really, I'm just frustrated I can't finish Blinx :-)
The last boss sequence is bloody hard - 30 plus attempts later and I'm resigned to the fact that it's beaten me.
God I hate bosses. They are cliched, boring and ruin games in my opinion.
Who invented videogame bosses anyway? It wasn't Miyamoto was it?!
A bigger adventure still utilizing Blinx's time controlling powers would be very nice indeed.
Another criticism I have of Blinx is that the levels are too cliched - in that there's a snowy level, a fiery level, a Indiana Jones temple level, etc.
The Time Controls are the only thing that's in any way original.
I'd like to see Blinx in a bigger and proper adventure, like Sonic and Mario. Blinx 2 perhaps.
I really the music, especially the strumming guitar tune on the level select screen and the music that kicks in when Blinx completes a level and you watch the replay.
I think end of level bosses should be banned. Can't stand 'em. They're always boring in my view.
