That’s not cheap.
Never played it on the PSP- is it worth it?

i never played it either…so i don’t know…most of the people i talk to say yes though.

I picked it up for the PSP and found myself not playing it too much. It was a little entertaining, but the main thing that bothered me was that you always have to start each game from the beginning. There are no checkpoints like in Zuma that only push you back to the beginning of the main level. So, once you get going, it gets pretty annoying and boring when you have to start all over.

too expensive, dont like how the game is bought in packagese. A puzzle game doesnt seem worth that much after buying Marble Blast Ultra, shoulda cost 400 MSP.

Release party? Lol you late night forum posters. I do not understand why people are so excited about this game, I doubt it’s worth the money, for me at least.

It’s a great game. One of the best puzzlers ever made.

360 version = better graphics (bigger screen at least), sound, and online multiplayer.

yeah but its pick up n play style lends itself to a handheld.
