Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Dark

I was reading about this and its very tempting - also very cheap - has anyone got this ? is it any good ?

i downloaded a demo for it on xbox live not too long ago. it seems pretty entertaining, it has a reflex-driven turn-based combat system (similar to games like Paper Mario) and can be played in a co-op mode, from what i can understand. the humor's mostly hit-and-miss, and the demo did have an obnoxious narrator acting as a tutorial. overall it seems like a pretty good game, but $20 for an xbox live game is a little much for me, especially if it's only "part 1" of a series that will supposedly run to either five or six.

i think it's pretty solid, but i'm only judging it on a 20-minute console demo, i have no idea what it'd control like on a PC.

Seriously? I've beaten it twice on 360 and never noticed. It's a great game. I'm not sure if it's worth $20 to most people, but I'm a PA fan so I think it was worth the price.

it looks like you're right, the game was apparently expected to have co-op mode (a friend of mine was considering buying it on that reason alone), but after reading the reviews it's pretty clear that there is no co-op mode. my mistake.
