I was looking forward to this game and planning on getting it at launch but reviews have been off putting, mentioning the camera, platforming, AI, and several other issues.
Seems it had alot of potential but failed to deliver. As dartmonkey said, Spector does remind me of Molyneuxs, in that he talks the game/series up too much and the end result is disappointing. (I love Fable 1, 2 was good but such a buggy mess and 3, well, don't get me started after all the talk hyping it up)

I would dip into the series if a third epic mickey was released but only if they actually made some improvements and not release a rushed and unpolished game.

Played this earlier today and I was very impressed. Loving all the game-pad features such as tickling monsters, moving platforms and omg, the music to the last stage, so catchy, i could listen to that all day...please ubisoft, release a collectors edition or something with an art book and soundtrack, that would be amazing.

Day one easily

Although i haven't got the game just yet (waiting on the demo), Ubisoft deserve credit for doing something other devs wouldn't have. They took a risk, put a new spin on a genre and sat back waiting to see where the path took them. I've followed the game through onm and each time, it amazes me how much creativity they've put into the game.

As far as reviews go, it seems like Marmite, you either love or hate it. Although i'm not keen on horror games, this game has sparked my interest. High difficulty, no hand holding, pure terror, a showcase of what the game-pad can do...what game offers that nowadays?

Hopefully come next week, ill be experiencing the game and cacking myself....its all good. I would love Ubi to work on Killer Freaks/They came from outer space (with the man-eating rabbids)that would be sick

Just picked up my Nintendo-Land bundle from Game about an hour ago along with NSMBU and Batman but due to work, won't be able to set it up and play til five or six. Looking forward to playing N'Land the most.

Just need Royal Mail to drop off Sonic Racing and I'm all sorted.

@ Ath Well I hope it gets sorted out for yourself and others affected and get your promised game as soon as possible

@Ath Sorry to hear. Have you contacted Amazon yet?

Thinking out loud, you don't think that Nintendo have downloaded it onto the console when it updates or comes with a code to input to get it off the eshop?...

Sorry to hear. I'd be gutted if it happened to myself tomorrow as Nintendo Land is the one main retail game I'm really looking forward to the most

@RupeeClock
Same here. I'm going down early to pick mine up from GAME as I don't have work til midday so I'll give me enough time to collect it, check its all there, head back and hopefully set it up.

Defo bagging Trine 2 come tomorrow and possibly Nano Assualt...oh and Little Inferno. Actually all the eshop downloads sound really tempting.

Sounds good. Does anyone know when this is out in the UK/Europe. If its on the 30th, it may sway me from getting AC3 on Friday

Thankfully its pay day on friday and all my overtime will pay off

Mmm mmm mmm, loving that line up. NintendoLand, NSMBU and Sonic ASRT are day one.
And possibly, Little Inferno, Nano Assault and Trine 2!!!

Still on the fence for AC3 though

Looking mighty tempting, and reminds me of Super Mario 64, which I love. That said though, I am torn between this and Assassins Creed 3.

Shame, was my most anticipated game but I'm sure the extra time will be worth while.
Another game to look forward to in 2013 alongside Monster Hunter, Game and Wario and Pikmin 3.
Leaves me with:
Nintendo-Land and Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed as getting on day one and Assassins Creed 3 and NSMBU as possibles

I'm really hoping though that The Wonderful 101 and Scribblenauts Unlimited will make launch day/before Xmas in EU

Maybe Borderlands 2 but putting in the hours is a bit difficult due to work so probably Rhythm Thief and SM3DL instead.

Pokemon White 2 would be nice but thats still a week away (EU)

@ Capt N

First time posting, but i've been following the site for over a year now, its a great site.
