IGN: Noby Noby Boy UK Review

IGN: "Noby Noby Boy is going to provoke arguments for months between people who claim to Get It and people who don't, which is ridiculous because - in truth - there is nothing to get. Once you've accepted that, Noby Noby Boy becomes one of the most soothing, effortlessly playable things you've ever likely had the pleasure to experience. It's a surreal and simple sandbox with no hidden subtleties or complex underlying system of progress and reward, no contrived meaning. It's appeal purely lies with its gentle, happy-go-lucky lunacy, and that's what makes it so bafflingly absorbing. For slightly over £3, it's something everyone should try, especially as its emergent nature means that it will keep stretching and stretching our imaginations well into the future. It's just the sort of mad experiment that the PSN Store was made for, in fact."

Downloading right now.....but I'm addicted to SOCOM so it's on hold.....

[japwow]

I bought this game last night.

[chrisnick]

another AAA...damn.

[Viper7]

same here

I was a bit scared that the game would not have enough content but damn theres so many maps to just explore. So far I have seen cheerleaders riding lions and Ninjas flying on ufos.

I wonder what will I see next :D

[PirateThom]

They need to get a Katamari game on PS3 now.

[Megaton]

Definitely. Was pretty pissed that they jumped ship to the 360 for that series, if it even continues as a series.

[Neoraf]

Just go buy a Xbox 360.
Beautiful Katamari is often sold for less than 30$.

If you truly love videogames, you need more than 1 console.

I'm happy to play Braid, Flower, Echochrome, Rez HD, Wipeout HD, Castle Crashers... in the same living room, on the same evening.

My PSN iD = Neoraf
My Xbox Live iD = Neoraf

yikes

[GEESE]

I have been up all night (again) on SF4.
I am wreaking havok online with Zangief. The sweetest thing pile driving cheap shoto losers who only choose ken, ryu, or worse...akuma..Gouken...PILE DRIVER..
..then they RAGE QUIT! The greatest.

[MrJack]

Home of originality?

[PotNoodle]

The creative freedom sony give to devs of PSN games is the reason why i prefer the playstation store original content over the xbox live original content.

Whenever someone is asking me what is better, live or PSN i always mention the original store content - even if i do say live, overall is better.

[Dipso]

Has anybody else managed to snap Noby Noby into two pieces? I was wondering how to fix him and then it dawned on me..YOU EAT YOUR OWN ARSE.

Those crazy Japanese.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

That's funny! How did you manage to do that? Just by forcing Noby Noby Boy to stretch?

[Cajun Chicken]

Indigestion; if you don't 'release' what you ate before stretching (have bumps all over you), it rips you in half. Great sound effect when you eat your own arse again.

[dan88123]

It is a very unique game, but there is no objective really. You just launch items out of Noby's @ss, and get bigger.

[Pennywise]

Noby>Halowars

[PotNoodle]

Be realistic.

Seriously, i like what they have done with noby noby boy, i think it is a great "game".

Noby noby has no substance, there is little objective and won't last even half as long as halo wars would.

Oh and my noby noby video:

[Pennywise]

lol come on, it was a joke. I still have no clue what the game is about.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Another fantastic game only on the Playstation 3.

IGN understands what great gaming is

[poeo]

custom soundtracks for the win for this game, gets SO TRIPPY when i play some ambient/experimental music on the background. also the Youtube upload feature is awesome.

though im kinda frustrated at the moment with my Boy, i shrunk his head and butt somehow and now i dont know how to get them to normal size, my mouth is too small to eat any larger objects :(
