Okay, this is probably spam, but does anyone know whether Blinx is any good ? I know its something to do with being able to reverse time in the game, fast forward action and stuff, but does anyone think it is any good ?

I know one place is going to be bundling it with the Xbox GT2002 and JSRF package all for £179.99 starting 8th Nov, which sounds good...even if I did really want Halo and Buffy...

Blinx rocks (i played it at Stuff Live) its a different gaming experiance, try before you buy.

Otherwise wait for Splinter Cell or get Halo/Buffy.

Probably Autumn/Winter 2003. Let's hope it's worth the wait.

The time limits might cause frustration, but without them it might be too easy.

OXM say that even when you fail, it has that "one more try" quality.
And there's meant to be a shed-load of secrets to unlock as well.

Blinx is an important game for XBOX because it's the kind of game that can attract a different kind of buyer - perhaps younger buyers (?).

It certainly sounds original but I aint that keen on the time limit. Could be incredably frustrating.

OXM gave it 9.3 and claim that it's the second best XBOX game (the first being Halo).

I'll definately be buying it this Friday - the gameplay sounds original, and on top of that I like quirky cartoony games like Mario and Oddworld etc.

It's been described as a "strategy puzzler" done in a "platformer" style.
Each level has a 10 minute time limit, and you have to negotiate the puzzles and kill each enemy using the time controls (slow, fast, pause and record).

It sounds good to me.
Splinter Cell and Blinx are my most wanted XBOX games yet to be released this year.

I wouldn't say slating it but it isn't scoring as well as I expected. IGN gave it 8.8 and OXM gave it 9.3, other places have scores ranging from 6-9/10 which shows that you will have to make your own mind up about the game as others have mixed opinions about it. If you are unsure about it then rent it or borrow it from a friend, that way you can see how good it is for yourself and make your own mind up about whether or not it is worth getting. Personally I would get the SR package of Dead or Alive 3, Sega GT 2002 and Jet Set Radio Future all for £164.99, all of those games are great and the value is superb!
