GamePro writes: "In closing, Trine is an excellent downloadable game that will take you roughly four to five hours to complete. The graphics are amazing, the three characters are fun to play, and the fairytale story is cute. You might even be curious enough to finish the game and see what happens to the three hard-luck heroes. GamePro's final suggestion, however, is to hold out for the Playstation 3 version which is $10 cheaper".
Poor reception hasn't killed this series. A document released this week by the EU Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), confirming projects it plans to help fund in 2018, has revealed that a number of indie studios are working on new games.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Pulkkinen is a relatively new face in the video game industry. Thus far he has worked exclusively on games developed by Finnish game studios, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the near future his music begins to attract attention from elsewhere as well. Given that he is only 34 years old he likely has many more years ahead of him in the video game industry."
"One of the oldest and most integral genres in video gaming is platforming. In the simplest idea, these games involve progressing an avatar through a series of obstacles by jumping from one platform to another. Originating back in the 1980s, platformers are not a pure genre; there is a tendency for other game types to mix in with platforming. For example, Contra gave rise to “run and gun” games; these are a cross of platforming and shooters."-- PlayStation Enthusiast
Was the 360 version canceled, or never confirmed, or what's going on with that? It says to wait and get it for Playstation Network because it will be 10 dollars cheaper. No mention of a 360 version. So I did some digging, and it's not listed for 360 on the Wikipedia page. That's just my standard, simple first stop though, before choosing to look for more legitimate sources. A first indicator, if you will. I decided to go directly to www.trine-thegame.com ... and it only mentions PS3 and PC. I went to www.atlus.com -- because it was rumored at E3 that Atlus had picked up the publishing rights for an XBLA release -- and they don't mention it either.
So is Atlus still supposed to publish it for 360, or not?
