I bought this last night on XBLA.
My first XBLA purchase.
Brilliant little game!
Anyone else played it?

Not yet. I recently spent all my points on Sonic CD and Beyond Good and Evil HD so Fez will have to wait. It looks very good though.

It is. The thought behind the creation is amazing and the thought you have to put into playing it is a lot more than you would expect. You begin to learn tricks about how to move across gaps that are seemingly unpassable. I've also never got lost in a 2D platformer before

Hehe, not quite Anyway, this is no normal 2D platformer. I'd call it a 2D puzzle, platformer, adventure wrapped around a 3D world. I think that genre name will catch on, definitely.

Ah, no, 2.5D would be something like Streets Of Rage or Double Dragon. Fez is strictly a 2D platformer but you can rotate the camera perspective through 90 degrees at a time. i.e. you might be on one platform with the next platform at the other end of the screen and no way of crossing the gap. But, turn the camera through 90 degrees and now you find the platforms are actually next to each other. Move across and now rotate back to the original view and you're now on the second platform! Here, take a looky... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6aXJo3OWXA

OK, this game is starting to really annoy me!
There are puzzles everywhere that are a complete bitch to solve!

What a cool looking game!
Is it XBox only?

I think it's only XBLA at the mo. I've got to the point now where I'm trying to decipher the language of the people in the game to try and solve some of the puzzles, lol!
