The game is pretty well made – funny with combat thats interesting and reasonably challenging.

But for the price, its really short – I don’t think I will get the other episodes until theres a discounted bundle.

I'd love to buy Penny Arcade for my Xbox 360, but it's 1,600 points. This means I can either buy two $30 vouchers that are each worth 1,500 points to get the game, a total of $60, or one 3,000 points voucher for $50.

I just checked, and the game costs $20 in the states (AU$20.80) This level of customer-screwing is just intolerable. I'm not getting it - blame microsoft.

You know what, this was going to be the first game I was going to buy on Marketplace; and now I'm never buying any - ever. Excuse me but I must go and be ridiculed by my friends who have PS3s and as such are able to pay for digi-dist content the way God intended: with a credit card.

I liked the game, but the demo doesn't really give a true feel of the combat system as it doesn't really show itself off properly until you've got a full party with special attacks vs. a large crowd.

If you are not a PA fan already though I doubt you would like the game

I have to disagree - I knocked the 360 version off in 4 hours or so on the weekend and it was a bit disappointing. There are flashes of PA humour (which I love) but combat was very repetitive, and the puzzles were incredibly easy.

At $25 it is by no means a rip off, but maybe I expected a little too much from it. Definitely try the demo (especially if you are a PA fan) but don't expect to be blown away.

I’ve been playing Penny Arcade Adventures on the PC, and I must say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I don’t really know what I was expecting it to be, but what I got was a great-quality point-and-click adventure game with Penny Arcade humour. It’s totally worth the price of admission.
