"The brothers' commitment to their goal and to each other is so strong, the various parts of this game so superbly crafted and woven together, that it's hard not to feel deeply touched when you finally reach the end of the road and see how deftly this game marries its gameplay to its themes in a way few have before." ...

Extremely cool and original game. Not many hours of gameplay though, but quite heart opening experience. I can recommend for younger players.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Revolutionary and original gameplay with a beautiful atmosphere and a toucing story. Great music/soundtrack, beautiful graphics (especially the colors of the sky when the boys followi the witch to her lair). A little short but an unforgetable experience. Maybe the game of the year. Surely will ne in the nomination list. Expand

About 80% of the game I passed myself, and the end has already passed with my brother. And when I started playing with my brother, I felt completely different emotions of the game.
This game will be more interesting with my brother. You will play together and solve puzzles together. But this game can be easily passed alone. (Personally, I felt the plot when playing one)
This is the best game for two I've ever played!

The game is incredibly beautiful and the story is also really fascinating and really sucks you in.
Unfortunately the game-play isn't terribly exciting or varying. Also it's a bit short with no real reason to play it all over again. Through this I have to say that the two hours this play through took was emotional and really great hours spent gaming.
