I reckon I might manage it

Got no idea how far I've progressed yet though

But it feels like a fair amount so far.

Ah right I thought the time kept adding up. I might just make it then. Not that worried its only a 10 pointer hahaha.

I will get to the palace and do the save then carry on and come back for the other speed achieves. Not fussed about the lightseeds or the 14 hit combo.

I didn't make it first time through under 12 hours

Didn't get the Elika saves me less than 100 times one either.

A second play through will be required

Well, I said I wasn't going to bother trying to find all the light seeds, but after about 90 mins spent on it over the past 2 nights I've gone from around 650 orbs to 984 orbs. I know I'm missing 6 in one zone, and then 6 spread over 3 different zones. None of them are instantly obvious but I'm sure I'll find them easily enough now. After searching for them for a while I think you kinda develop a feel for where they might be hiding. If my review game doesn't turn up today or tomorrow then I'll probably go back through it again over the weekend to 1k it and put it to bed.

After doing about half the levels I'm finding this tediously repetitive. Made more obvious by the 15-odd achievements I picked up at the start for basically walking and talking, while the rest are for collecting light seeds and finishing levels. There's some fun to be had but the combat and so-called puzzle-solving are not where it lies. I like the movement system and camerawork but it's always the same four or five movements - wall run, grab a ring, hang off a trellis, grab a column, slide... will probably go through once, clean up the light seeds and then pass it on to someone who'll enjoy it more.

I know what you mean about being repetative. I collected all the light seeds, finished all the speed runs, and did all the weapon achievements, so only need to go through it once more without being saved 100 times to get the last achievement. I've done about 4 fertile grounds and it's starting to grate on me now. I really need to hammer it as quickly as I can before I lose all interest in it.

I agree, this game should have been helped with some thought and effort with the achievements... hell, they all have the same icon!

Danny · 13-01-2009, 21:53

Finally finished, took me much longer than 12 hours and I got 700 seeds. I ran into them more that went for them.

Had a hell of a job getting the all combo's unlocked so that pushed my time up and so did one of the speed runs.

Doubt I will bother with a sequel I will just watch the story on youtube.

Davey_Pitch · 13-01-2009, 23:22

That's why I did the combo's and speed runs after I finished the game, just loaded up a previous save and did them, then went against the final boss and did all the combos against him.

Danny · 13-01-2009, 23:37

Did you get the 14 hit combo against him?
