Me and my homes were playin dis game, and at first, it seemed why this game was perhaps the Xbox E3 game of the year, but my homes shouda listend to gamespot, but he didn't and the game got frustrating down da road, basicly on controls, and and time sweepin, and the story is rather dull, and we were lookin up stratagy guides to find an easier way to go on on this part, but we had to look up reel good, and it took us a while to beat this game. Frustrating, but fun going through the levels, cuz my friend basicly did all the work. So I recomend this game to people looking 4 a frustratin challange that'll make em' slam their controller, others, maybe a rent.

Peace

the the only...BLINX!

blinx the timesweeper is the best game you will find anywhere. The graphics speak for them selves and the gameplay is amazing,i have already pre-ordered 6 copies. the story is about blinx an average day time janitor who cleans up magical crystals so they don't mess up time but when he hears that a princess is taken hostage and someone is stealing the crystals to use their magic fo evil he take matters into his own hands.control blinx as you have the power of time to destroy enemies and collect time crystals before the bad guys get them.along the way you might want to try and free the princess.Who needs 9 lives when you control time?

AWESOME game to play on the Microsoft Xbox game console

I wanted to buy Blinx just because of what I've seen and heard in reviews. The game is fun but a little tough at times and it does get a bit frustrating. I haven't been playing it as much as I thought I would. Honestly, either rent it from the video store or buy it on ebay.. don't pay full price for this game.

Time and Time again, Blinx is an awesome experience.

Mascots have to be the hardest thing for a video game company to establish. They are truly hit or miss when it comes to success and are beloved or hated by gamers based their appeal and gameplay. Mario wasn't actually an overnight success but now there cannot be a Nintendo system without a Mario game to go with it. Sega made one of the only *slight* successes at making a rival mascot with their blue-blur Sonic. But after that many have tried and many have failed...Sony first tried with that strange polygon head Enos (sic) and then almost had Crash Bandicoot but that didn't last and a change in developer may bring the marsupial into obscurity. Microsofts first outing gives us Blinx, a time sweeping cat that is out to clean up time, using his trusty time sweeper he can control time and use it to defeat enemies and complete level objectives. With Artoon being the developer (former Sonic Team Members) a very unique and cool premise plus an awesome character design things are set for greatness. But a few minor flaws and some closed minded individuals keep this game from rising towards the top.
Graphics: Everything works here, lighting textures, animation. The kooky world is set with odd building designs and bizarre creatures. Blinx looks and moves amazing with awesome facial expressions. Lighting is colorful and well placed. Sound: Blinx does say much and the music isn't the worst or always the best. All the other sound effects work and fit in with the setting. Control: Blinx handles marvelously jumping from ledge to ledge aiming at enemies traversing the terrain is all pretty simple and easy to do. The time controls are setup nice and wrap up Blinx control package nicely. But then there is the camera, the tight level design leaves the camera nowhere to go and the control range of movement they give for the camera isn't enough, not the worst camera in video game history but it can get in the way from time to time. Gameplay: Its all about using your imagination and experimenting with the time controls. The unique concept for the game lends it way to very cool and original ways to find items, defeat enemies and complete levels. Some of these ideas could have been implemented better and the level designs are nice but the areas are sometimes a little to tight and narrow. Replay: Tons of levels to explore and given the games premise you have to explore a level a couple times over making for a decently long platformer, but the ramping difficulty of later levels may turn may people away (not as frustrating as some Sunshine levels though). Tons of secrets and unlockable items (though some of the early secrets are rather bizarre and quite useless) still a lot to see and do here. Overall: Like many games I play this is NOT for everyone but if you like having to really think your way through a game and are looking for something is unique, original and fun to play Blinx is definitely worth a look.

Awsome,amazing,Challenging,best thing

This game is the ultimate game. It's a bit hard, and the controlls take a while to get used to, but this game is the best. The TS-X7 is the best weapon in the game.

ODD, yes, but amazingly good!

Blinx is an amazing game all the way around. It is the weirdest game I have player yet, but that is what makes it sooooo fun!
Here is the lowdown...

Graphics: 4-D! Great graphics! The worlds are really cool, and everything about the graphics are cool!

Gameplay: VERY ODD! This is the first game where you can pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. and this is what makes the game so much fun! You have to use strategy to beat this game. You can't just be good at video games to beat this game... you have to have a brain.

Fun Factor: Very fun! The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is because it can get a little aggravating when you can't get pass that certain level or you don't have an item you need, so you have to die.

Pros
-VERY FUN!
-GRAPHICS (4-D)
-Lots of levels

Cons
-1 hit your dead
-short levels
-odd

Overall a great game! Depending on what you think by this review, this could be a must buy or a rent!
