That's what I thought.
Oh and they were sitting next to a big Rock Band box, which is coming out soon too ... so that made me even more confused.
Oh well, have to wait and see if it gets released early, hope it does! _________________

One complaint, the text is **** TINY. I can hardly read it at all and some words I just have to improvise because I've got no idea what they say. This is on a 51cm CRT though but I've heard complaints from people with HDTVs who are having the same problem. |
Yeah the text is a little small, but no were near say... um that zombie game thats name escapes me at hte moment.

I know it's a double post but HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THAT SUM BANKSY IN MY BANJO KAZOOIE!
On the wall next to the scaffolding is "This is not a photo opportunity" spraypainted on the bricks in the exact same font BANKSY uses.
This just brought the game from "Vehicals are rad" to "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THATS AWESOME!" _________________

^ That is one of the worst reviews I've ever read, from reading that you almost wonder how much of the game he played. Really skimmed over, giving you next to no detail on how it handles, how much there is to do.
It's good to see a very positive score for it, but still an awful review. _________________

That's for sure, you can hardly call it a review, maybe an overview. _________________

There's murmurs abound that the review is based off the demo by the fact they mention the 'small text' as a con, apparently this is fixed in the retail version.
Makes sense considering how early this review is out. _________________

^that's what I was thinking while reading it, but thought how can you give a game a 9 for value when you're playing the demo.
I'd wait for a website I've actually heard of to do a review before I get too excited.
Hard though, cos I can't wait for this game, something I never thought I'd be saying. _________________

So this still isnt available to silver users then? I dont actually use xbl as my xbox requires a bit of hassle to connect to the interent - its been up for 7 days now so i plugged it in and its STILL only available to Gold users. Is there any way i can tell when it becomes available to the lowly siler guys? _________________

^.......Yeah, but IGN UK review gave it a passable 6.5.
Still getting it though, but I expect it will get alot of mixed reviews. _________________

Anyone pre-ordered this and got the code to download the arcade title? Or will this be a case of 'you'll get the card when the full game is released'. Be nice to play the arcade game before I got the new one since it's getting released 2 weeks earlier for people who have the codes  _________________

I haven't seen any info from retailers stating that there will be a pre-order bonus with it.
Did they say they were giving out codes where you pre-ordered? _________________

Nup it's definitely an offer in Australia (and most of the world it seems)

Thanks sploggers!
I remember that news story originally had Australia's participating stores as TBA, and I was waiting on a site to report which retailers would be offering the pre order deal before putting my money down on it.
I guess this means we'll receive codes from the stores when we pick up the game.

No problem
Yeah it was originally TBA, but someone on the official banjo forums asked and the moderator there who works for Rare found out for them! _________________
