Spelunky - Mossmouth - X360

[UnSub]

This the X360 adaption of the free PC game. It's undergone a massive graphics overhaul and the controls feel a lot better / easier on a controller than a keyboard.

For those who don't know the original game, think Pitfall but with randomised maps and destructible terrain. You can blow up walls / floors with your limited supply of bombs or throw limited grappling hooks to get to higher platforms. You could also find / buy other items, such as a jetpack that gives limited flight or weapons like boomerangs or shotguns.

It's still an unforgiving game, and very much still "just one more shot". Do not play if you have high blood pressure.

It's 1200 points and all achievement discussion is usually couched that getting the full 400 points will be one of the greatest challenges in X360 gaming to date.

Spelunky also has lots of hidden elements, like character skins, secret items, hidden areas and the like. You can't finish the game 'properly' unless you find the right secret items over your playthroughs.

Rating: Buy It.
