This review is from: PixelJunk Eden [Online Game Code - Full Game] (Software Download)
This game is part of the popular PixelJunk series, in which you must control a "grimp" who can jump from and attach to plants and other objects on your screen. The idea is to enter a level from the "main screen", and collect "spectra" by catching pollen from "prowlers", to grow "seeds" which allow you to get to all the places in a level. Your grimp can either jump or swing from branches (for a limited amount of time) to break open prowlers and capture the pollen that comes out. Finding a spectra completes 1/5 of the level and takes you back to the "main screen". You then reenter the level and re-clear it by finding 2 spectra, then 3 spectra,..., until you find all 5 spectra in the level. Finding spectra in the levels causes plants to grow in the "main screen", which lets you reach harder levels, 10 in all. Additionally, you have a timer in the form of "oscillator crystals", so you must collect crystals to keep the meter from emptying or risk game over (you may continue from the last spectra reached, as of the latest PSN update).
There is also an expansion pack, PixelJunk Eden Encore, which adds another 5 levels to this game, though I believe you must complete the 10 levels in Eden before you can access those 5 levels. The art in this game is very abstract and distinguishes it from any other game, and having an HDTV is very helpful when playing this game, which looks sharpest in 1080p. I have spent at least 30 hours in this game over a six-month timeframe, collecting all of the spectra and beating the game. Up to 3 players can play, though it is frustrating to play if all players are not at the same skill level. There is an online leaderboard for level scores and overall scores. Overall, this game is better suited for an average gamer with a lot of patience (mainly because the grimp requires precise aiming before you jump, and you'll often miss your target or fall short, causing you to fall long distances, and backtrack many times), although it can be enjoyed by playing for shorter intervals. It is a very unique game that is only available for PlayStation 3.

"oddest" Pixeljunk but fun kind of odd,

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: PixelJunk Eden [Online Game Code - Full Game] (Software Download)
Unlike most game developers where they tend to have their bread-and-butter (Bungie and FPS, Bethesda with open-world games), the guys at Q Games can be surprising yet potentially frustrating in that they never seem to stick in one place for too long and once you find the game and genre you love, they go off and do something else. Initially they began with Racers, a top-down racer that reminded me of a lot of old-school racing games yet wasn't well-received. Monsters on the other hand, a cute tower defense game, was praised for addicting gameplay yet offering a significant challenge. So what's Eden about? Essentially it's a 2D pseudo-platformer involving a garden. Yeah it's hard to describe but if tower defense isn't your thing than this and the recently released Shooter will be more up your alley but be warned there is a slight learning curve with Eden and at times it can get slightly frustrating but it's still quite fun to go through.
Story: You play as a "grimp", a cute little bug-like thing that tries to find "Spectras" in the level. Since these are waaaaaay up high in a stage, you have to grab pollen and activate seeds which sprout more vines, flowers and twirly lines to attach yourself to so you can get higher. There isn't much of a story since essentially it's just find all the spectras but it's got a smooth difficulty curve that slowly introduces more gameplay aspects to keep things interesting. Graphics: The Pixeljunk games post-Racers can always be described as "cute" with an undeniable charm. While Eden doesn't have the color palette of Monsters or the cool physics of Shooter, Eden is absolutely unique in look to the point where it's almost hard to describe. It's not really a HD showcase in the way Wipeout HD, Flower or even something like Trine are but Eden certainly has a great art style. Sound/Music: The pre-loading screen for Eden on your XMB pretty much sums up the music of the game: electronica, trance with a bit of eerieness involving synths and organs. It's got a nice bouncy soundtrack though nowhere near Shatter levels but it's got a nice vibe going on. Sound effects are generally low-key though it's not a big deal. Gameplay: You don't control your grimp so much as fling him at stuff. See all the flowers, leaves and vines act as surfaces the grimp attaches itself to in order to get higher but only way to do that is by using the analog stick, you "jump" in that specific direction while holding down the jump button attaches you to the surface Spider-Man style in which you can spin in a circle and grabbing nearby pollen and other goodies. It's also a good way to get a bit of a boost for higher areas. The trickier thing is when you're falling since you can control slightly the direction so if you're high in the air and you miss, that can be a long fall which can be frustrating when your grimp fails to grab anything. Online leaderboards are available so for competitive types this one can keep you busy; not to mention the trophies lean more towards the skill side which makes them slightly harder to get. In a way it's hard to completely recommend Pixeljunk Eden in that it's kind of like Flower: you'll either dig this kind of game and get into it while others might find it a bit too laid back and not as "exciting" as something like Shatter or Super Stardust HD. Check gameplay videos online but if you happen to find it cool than definately check it out.
