Limbo 3 Pack for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

It's definitely worth a rent if you wanted to play any of these.

Trials HD 10/10
I actually own this one, and it's expansions. It's fun, but it does require a LOT of practice to get consistently good, especially at the medium and higher difficulties. It's probably not going to have as much appeal as a rental, and if you were going to outright buy any of them, this would be the one as it has lots of replay value.

Limbo 9/10
Very good and atmospheric, with excellent puzzles. However it is short, at 4-5 hours, and has no replay value. Rent it to experience it, but it's not worth buying.

'Splosion Man 5/10
It starts off okay, but becomes unforgiving at about level 15 of 50, and the controls are just a little off. The camera seems to hate you a lot of the time, so you're going to die a lot. And then restart at a checkpoint that's too far back. N+ and Super Meat Boy are much better executions of the genre, helped by the fact that they are pure 2D. I stopped playing around level 23.

Limbo, clearly the standout title in this 3-game pack can be best described with those three adjectives. In this title, you have to guide a dark shadow of a character through environments that range from murky swamps to industrial tunnels, using fantastic puzzle elements to keep him from dying. Along your path are bear traps, falling storage bunkers, giant spiders and savages with poison darts. The unique art style of this platformer, along with the accessibility and sheer simplicity of its controls make it a definite must play. And now that it's a rental, there's no excuse to not give it a try! Limbo's story can be completed in a couple of hours, even with collecting all the easter eggs.

Trials HD comes in at a close second. Glorious stunts and crashes are fun to enact, and it gives you a daredevil feeling from the safety and comfort of your couch. With a level editor and bikes and tournaments to unlock, Trials has quite a bit of replay value.

Splosion Man, in my opinion, is the least appealing of the three games. I should have guessed I was in for sensless entertainment when I opened the Options menu and found all four face buttons were set to "SPLODE!" A "splode" is essentially an exploding jump. You can splode three times in one jump. Unlike Limbo, whose simplicity comes off as artistically genius, Splosion Man feels more demented and uninspired.
