(More customer reviews)OK, you may be inclined to ignore my advice because of my lack of gaming experience, but that will soon change, due exclusively to my experience with Bugdom 2 (on the Mac).
The first thing that drags you in is the graphics. The characters are all creative and engaging, and the levels are unique and lush, and just invite exploring.
The 2nd most important thing for this 42yo was the skill requirements. I have tried to play so many other games, but fail so miserably at the start that there is no point in continuing. The first level here is moderately challenging for the 1st-time gamer, and the rate of acceleration of your skills as a gamer is paced EXTREMELY well, so that levels that would seem impossible before you stated playing, all seem just as challenging as the last, due to your improvement.
In terms of game analysis, here is what worked for me that seems different from other games -
1) not sci fi or fantasy - engaging characters and environments, but no blood or gore. No overly complex storyline to get in the way of game play.
2) limited repertoire of "moves" never challenges coordination of 29 buttons more than the mind,
3) linear game play allows some exploration but never lets you lose the trail or sit there bewildered like I did during my 1st (and LAST) 30 minutes of Myst.
Because of this game, I have spent hundreds of $$ trying to replicate the Bugdom 2 experience, via other Pangea games (Otto Matic, Bugdom 1) other "3D Platformer" games (that's what this genre is) for computer, and a host of used games for my new GameCube.
Bugdom 2 is in a class by itself, and the number of 1st-time gamers who have rated this game so highly should be a sign to game developers that there is a whole audience out here who would buy more games if they actually made games for us, instead of Mortal Combat IXX, Resident Evil VII and Unreal Tournament MCCXIXMCC
