Just smacked down Chromehounds on the Xbox360 here at the end of the week – this is a game that on one hand it beautiful and original, and the other frustratingly bad.

I love the premise, but the storytelling and lack of guidance during the missions is unacceptable. I’m happy to have conquered it and it’s definitely worth playing, just know that on some occassions you’ll be ready to toss your controller at the plasma screen. That’s why it took me 13:02 to complete and 17 attempts at the last “secret” level. Argh. Grade: C
