  I think it was £11.99 if I remember rightly. Any pricier and its a 100% no buy fro me, tried it on PC and it was a bit more than OK at best.

    Excellent game to be fair, but cannot help but fear the price will hurt it’s sales. The inclusion of online co-op (which the 360 version is supposedly getting) would have gone a long way towards justifying the price in my opinion.

    At £16.99 its massively cheaper than any retail game – An absolute bargain!
    
    You do know this is a retail quality and sized game, and not something akin to noby noby boy don’t you?

    Yeah yeah I know the spiel about it being a retail game. But I played an hour or so on PC and felt a bit mediocre about the whole experience.

    Not so sure about the retail size and quality bit, it’s eight hours long at a push with little or no replay value. Brilliant game like I said, but the price is a little steep (even more expensive on PC though!).

    8 hours?
    So longer than inFAMOUS, CoD and many others then?

    CC has a good point. 8 hours for £16.99 is incredible value compared to so many of the big titles. Lets take Batman. Wonderful game. VERY short. I had done everything except push my scores higher in the challenge modes (i.e. I got the Platinum trophy) by the end of about 12 hours. That’s a £39.99 game. Trine’s £/per hour ratio is much better here.
    That said, if the quality of the product isn’t great, I can understand people’s misgivings.

Excellent :) I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. I hope there’s a demo to try it out first though, as I’ve only seen trailers for it so far (which look great!!)

  Aye! I myself am not into sidescrollers (apart from LBP) but whith all of the hype and the seemingly interesting videos I’ve seen, I would really like to try this out.

  Hmm a platinum trophy is definitely uncommon, but not unwelcome :D

  yeah co-op’s there – one review i saw said that it kind of made the game less fun though……you just stroll thru the levels literally taking turns using your special power to pass obstacles.
  
  i think they felt the best game mechanic ( switching roles mid action ) was erased with co-op.
  
  im holding off at that price.

Hopefully there’s a demo, I have no idea what to expect from this, and at the price it’s gonna be I’m not gonna buy it on impulse!

  If you have a PC, there’s a demo – just get it off Steam, it is quite graphically demanding though so you’ll need a reasonable setup

    I have a Mac that can only just play Sims 3 on high settings, I’ll hold out for a demo on the PS3 I think!

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

Sweet this will fit nicely as a buffer between Dirt 2 and Need for Speed: Shift :)

I may have thought twice about getting Trine, but now that I can get cheaper credit on PSN(Thanks Zavvi!), I guess it might be worth a chance. No hope of a demo, is there?
