downloaded this game this weekend on PSN. Absolutely fantastic. So different than any game I've played to date.
It's only $15 and reviews really can't put into words what it's like to play it.
The game just sort of lulls you into this peaceful tranquility like trance.
The realism that they've put into the sand is something that has to be seen to be believed. The wind pushes the sand dunes around and reshapes them and as you're running around, every grain of sand seems to be rendered. footsteps in the sand, when you fall from a high distance you hit harder and roll and the sand moves under you realistically.
It's pretty much like watching artwork in motion. There's cell shading stuff they've done but the way the light reflects around and shines off the sand looks amazing.
