I picked this up yesterday even though I have the original on Xbox. I wound up buying that one after succumbing to morbid curiosity and a recommendation from one guy who goes by the name of Broken H 'round these parts. Yes Ben it was your fault. LOL
I gave up very early on the 360 version because I found the controls hard to get used to and other reasons I don't quite remember.
I've had far better luck with the PS3 version and have actually cleared the prologue. Let the bells ring and the people sing!
If I had to sum this game up in a sentence I'd say, er, well I'm not sure what I'd say except maybe "It's fucking weird". It's like Twin Peaks on acid as if Twin Peaks wasn't already on acid to start with.
It's cheesy, it's odd, it's very Japanese, and it's cheesy. I'd go with the "it's so bad it's good" except that's a cop out. In conclusion, If you get it you'll love it and if you don't, well your mileage may vary. I'd hazard a guess that there's really no middle ground for this game.
The Ultimate version of this game is on sale right now on PSN at the same price as the regular version at $19.99.
I have it for the 360 in my "I really need to get to this someday soon" pile. Purchased on the recommendation of that same Broken H, by the way.
As for Twin Peaks, I've been to Tweed's Cafe, which is the coffee shop in the TV series, and I have the mug to prove it. Also went to Snoqualmie Falls, which is where the lodge is.
Well then, .... :P
Seriously that's very cool. I loved how different and quirky that show was, I enjoyed the music a lot too.
The games narrative is more like a comedy. The way the main character talks to himself and the open world GTA town make it unique and interesting. It is by no means perfect in any way, it is however a one of a kind game for sure.
I'd love to try it sometime.
This one is Steam, so if I get interested enough, I may give it a try.
And yet another game I hope to get sometime 
Read about this game, sounds weird enough to be worth a shot.
Oh it's weird alright. That's the appeal to me.
I loved it. It was like "GTA in Silent-Hill". lol. Not quite but that's a pretty apt description for me. 
You were the one who convinced me I had to try this game Ben. I wasn't sure when I played the Xbox version but I made it through the prologue in this one. I'm definitely going to play more. It's just so odd. LOL
ah my #1 game for last year's Octoberween celebrations it was for me. I regret nothing with this game, but I wish they didn't pull this Ultimate version crap as a digital buy only.
