Xbox Live Arcade/ PC: Limbo Short but Sweet

Limbo:  a dark creepy beautiful world and although i romped through it in about seven hours the artwork was magnificent with very little reason to return, and although a little expensive for what you get, i did have a great time with it.What developer Playdead has brought to the table is a dark creepy world with death at every corner, 

 This tree may not be what you expect.

Limbo is a game about trial and error, and trust me theres more errors then trials and by that i dont mean its a bad game because its not its actually beautiful and addicting and its black and white with only one other color and unfortunately when you see it its when you have ended up dying and with danger on every screen it will come often.

Looks like Bates Hotel lol!!

Limbo is a action 2d puzzle platformer, and is mostly a puzzle game for the simple fact you find yourself stuck on a screen where you have to figure out how to get to the next one and with strange creepy creatures and traps which most the time you will not see until its to late. The premise of the story is simple your a boy looking for your sister and thats all you need to know.

                                       This is you in limbo 

This is a decent arcade title, its original, creepy and challenging, and although short its a good game, the price is steep for a seven hour game with no replay value but if you dont mind the price, its a fun and challenging puzzle platformer that i would recommend.

My Score 4 out of 5 Very Good

I almost bought this game when it was on sale.  I don't know why I let it pass.  If it comes up again, I'm gettting it.

I just checked...., I bought it already.  I thought I didn't.

I got this in one of the Humble Bundles. Haven't played it yet, of course lol. Sure looks cool though.

I'll be playing this eventually. I love the black and white art style - the creepiness.

One of the few games on my Steam collection that I actually beat. Really nice atmosphere and a great ending.

I got stuck on one particular puzzle and rage quit. I'll have to get back to it, because I really liked it up until that point.

I LOVED Limbo. I got through it fairly quickly, I intended to replay but got stuck, not sure why I didn't get stuck the first time but did the second.

I know I am one of the weird ones that thought this game was pretty good, but I wasn't totally in love with it.
