It's not a difficult or long game - three hours should see you through it - but you'll want to replay it to catch things you've missed and to chase the achievements you didn't first time round.
I know that sounds weird but, trust me, it's epic. The game is worth playing just for the feeling it gives you once you realise what's going on. There is a moment towards the end of the game, and I can't tell you what it is because it would ruin everything, that is nothing short of game design genius. In fact, as the story progresses the bond between the boys and with the player gets stronger. There are still moments when your right hand is controlling the character on the left, but you get used to it - think of it like a bit of brain-training thrown in for free!Īs I said, the game looks great, and it plays smoothly, too, but the thing that makes Brothers a stand-out title is the story.įrom the very beginning, you feel an attachment with both boys and this is not lost throughout their journey. Initially, this is a bit like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time, but it quickly becomes easier.
You control both brothers at the same time using one control stick for each. I won't go too much into the story as it would ruin the experience of playing the game, but you are taken from your little village, through mountains and battlefields to caves and rivers, all of which are incredibly detailed and beautiful to look at. I know that may a bit sound daft but bear with me.īrothers tells the story of two boys' quest to help their ailing father.
Until Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons - which is a masterpiece.īrothers is a co-op game that you play on your own. State of Decay is a prime example and was, I thought until recently, the best XBLA game I'd played. Lately, though, there has been a steady stream of genuine top-quality titles available to download, most for a just few dollars. In the not so recent past, the Xbox Live Arcade was associated with pretty puzzle games, indie releases and HD remakes of ''classics''.
