G-Force for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This one was disappointing. Rented this for our 8 year old. He really like it at first, but then the puzzles started to get more and more complex and he needed my help to figure them out. He's a bright kid and has played many similar video games, so that's not the issue. Eventually as he got farther into the game (I think he was fairly close to the end- some kind of big room where you had to turn on some generators or something) the puzzles got quite complex, and because I didn't have time to re-do the whole level with him, even I couldn't solve it. After we tried several times and I even found several walk-throughs on the web and we still couldn't do it, we got frustrated and sent it back. I wouldn't recommend this one for eight year olds unless you're prepared to play it with your kid.

I went into this game thinking it was going to be another lame movie tie-in experience. What I found was a deep, engaging, fun old school platformer with great visuals and clever puzzles. One of the best platformers I have played in years. Definitely worth a rental, if not a purchase. 3D mode is nice, but you lose most of the great color the game has to offer. I played the first couple of levels with the glasses on, but had to take them off because of the loss of color. The colorful surroundings make this game. So, it is a trade-off really. It is fun in 3D though.

The game is about 10 hours long, more if you try to find all of the hidden objects and play on hard to get all of the achievements. I got 560 achievement points without too much trouble.

Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
