Tight-knuckled old school platforming fun Aug 17, 2009
By Michael R. Hollender
Make no mistake: this game is HARD. Not at first, though. It eases you into it, making you think it's gonna be a breeze, but then they ramp up the difficulty and 'splode timing. If you like old school platforming games, this one is not to be missed. The only difference here is the frustration factor present in most of the older games is missing here. It is just pure fun. 40% platformer, 40% puzzle game, 20% time trial racer = 100% awesome.

Remember the old days? Dec 11, 2009
By Daniel V. Velazquez
"The Professor"
If you are a person who played games over 20 years ago, you might remember a time when most games were in 2D, that is to say, you were usually a character that moved from left to right, jumping his way past obstacles to reach his or her objetive. If any of this brings warm and fuzzy feelings of nostalgia, you might want to check out 'Splosion Man.
Not only does this appeal to the old school gamer sensibilites, it also harkens back to a more fun oriented design of games, when the were simple by necesity, but also fun by a careful balance of said design. You control the 'Splosion man in this game via the Dpad or thumbstick, while all the face buttons make you explode. This simple to get control scheme actually opens up the game, making it more about you being good at it than learning 20 odd moves to finish a game. It's all about you and the levels, many of which will make you remember those days of throwing fits and controllers out of frustration.
While I do admit the game gets very hard at points, it's possible to skip levels and even play levels with friends. It's the kind of game that makes you feel very satisfied at the moment you get past that tricky obstacle or clear that maddening jump that had you screaming. If you can take that with a little sadistic smile, than I recommend you download this game today.

An awesome 2.5D semi-side scroller! Highly recommended to everyone! Mar 31, 2010
By CJ Barlow
This game is totally worth $10. In my opinion it's worth $20.
The game can be really hard, and frustrating, especially when playing multiplayer for the first few times but the learning curve isn't a very big one. Using 'Splosion Man's unique 'Splosion ability you can jump off walls, 'Splode bad guys into steak, and race around to the end of the levels. Some of the levels can get quite frustrating but the game contains enough easier levels to balance out the frustrating ones.
The game also has some nice replay value due to hidden Cake to collect and the time trial aspect. If you have a group of friends (it's a four-player co-op!) the fun really begins as the multiplayer levels are 100% different from the single player ones. You need to work together to get past the multiplayer levels which adds the fun.
Once you get past the initial learning curve, which isn't very big, I'd give this game a 10/10.

Pure Fun! Aug 17, 2009
By Calil Genova
"daCamel"
"Everybody love doooOOOooonuts" -this is just one of the quirky highlights of this game. This 2.5-D sidescrolling game is one that stands out from the rest in it's humor and interesting puzzles. It's a difficult game at times, but one that you won't want to stop once you start. And at $10 (800 MS points), it's a steal!
 A super fun platformer Mar 28, 2012
By Richard Baker
"Gaming Guru"
The Good: Great controls, super funny, lots of levels, looks great
The Bad: Can be hard to master for some, tough boss fights, it ends
Remember games like Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT, Kid Chameleon, or even Mario? Yeah, well we haven't seen a game like those in awhile (especially a 2D one) and that's what makes `Splosion Man so great. It brings back that classic challenging platformer goodness with a great sense of humor, and a loving character. `Splosion Man pits you against a bunch of mad scientists obstacles and traps trying to capture while you run rampant trying to escape.
As the name implies you have the ability to explode, but not just as many times as you want. You can explode three times in a row then you must "recharge" yourself by staying on the ground for a few seconds or clinging to a wall. Exploding allows you to jump, break glass, hit switches, and pretty much do anything because this is the core gameplay. You have different obstacles to overcome such as jumping gaps; you may need a green canister to shoot you across a huge gap, exploding barrels will give you a slight boost since there may be huge open areas above a death pit that are just barrels. The idea would be to explode yourself on each barrel and "hop" across the huge gap. Most of the time scientists will pull levers that block your way and you must solve how to get to them. Giant closing walls may come down on you from either side and you'll need to jump your way up and out. You may run across electrified fields, and you must find the switch to turn them off, then you can kill the scientist and be on your marry way. There are dozens of different traps and obstacles and it would take forever to describe them all, but one thing is for certain and it's that you need to use your exploding powers to get through them.
When it comes to boss fights they are epic and rather tough. They all involve some form of exploding and evading which must be mastered. That's the beauty of this game; you can conquer the controls, but it takes practice to master them. The later levels require precise jumping, exploding, and timing or you will meet your death. Speaking of death (unlike older platformers) checkpoints are fair and plentiful so you are sure not to get to frustrated. Trial and error here is abundant, but it's forgiving. What I mainly love about the character you play are the noises he makes. He runs around looking goofier than ever making airplane noises, barking noises, and just overall maniacal laughs that make you laugh every time. The achievements on the the other hand are pretty easy to get and take a bit of thinking to figure out. Most of them require finishing certain objectives and some require finding hidden items. Like any platformer the game has impossible to find items and these are cakes. Yes they even make a joke about the Portal reference in the achievement description. Hell, there's even a real life `Splosion Man video during the credits roll. Speaking of that the game has a great co-op play both online and off so you and a friend can master the power of exploding. You even unlock a theme and gamer picture for all your effort.
So to conclude, `Splosion Man is a fine platformer which does something original that we have never seen before. Whether it's the epic boss fights, the ability to explode, or the levels that just make you feel giddy `Splosion is worth every penny and will hopefully make an explosive sequel.
