[Hiryo]

[Grif]

This game is so good i did have questions about how solid the controls would be but after playing the beta i have no doubts.

[deshende]

"Sorry!
Down for maintenance."

[Grif]

There's no more keys anyway.

[Mikayla]

Oh god it's so good. lol. And yeah, I had my doubts about some aspects of the game, but after actually playing it now, they're all gone. This game is going to be amaaaazing.

[Doombear]

Happy to hear that Mikayla, if you don't mind, what are a few quick bits that squashed the doubts for you?

[Katlan]

I'm now sad that I missed the chance to try it... I've been sceptical also... but from the way your raving Mika I don't think i should be that worried anymore

[Mikayla]

One of my biggest worries was if the control scheme would be easy and maneuverable, which it turned out to be. Everything flows pretty easily on the controller, including movement, using the various emotes and the like. The sixaxis is responsive for the head and hips, and all the menus are a breeze to navigate. Aside from that, the game is just downright fun.

[Doombear]

Damn you! Have fun with the Beta =P

I have seen tons of emote vids for this, but this Beta Vid just had me excited more than the others. You can really see the detail (in the game, not so much a Youtube Video)

They really need to work on the netcode i accidentally played a level online and suddenly the game became so frustrating. While in the pod i was trying to place a sticker in the host pod but it was very unresponsive and would jump around alot. I can now see why online create co-op was delayed. Outside of that it's been great and some of the created levels are really nice.

[Tyche]

I fucking hate you grif I was a work and couldn't nab a fucking key...

[Mikayla]

Yeah, I barely managed to F5 my way into getting one. It was a huge mess though, lol.

[Grif]

But i love you Tyche =(

It's so good.

[Kyo]

Ive been sick all day, so I didnt get to get one ; ;, hope it pwns.

[Jefe]

Hell, as soon as I got out of class I had to finish some homework... I'm having a shitty quarter, prolly won't have time to play at all

[Mikayla]

Hey Grif, out of curiousity, are you playing using your NA PSN account, or are you sticking to the EU PSN account you had to make to download the beta? Obviously, if you're European, this is a stupid question, but I was just curious. I've been using the EU account I made to download it, but wasn't entirely sure what others were doing.

Mikayla, any updates or personal reviews are welcome, give us more info if you can, im so excited.
