There's an auto-advance through the cutscenes, even in the demo. I might have to run out and grab a points card. This game looks to be worth the 1200pts.

It looks like I'll have to get my xbox fixed for this! I'm actually surprised that an xbox live arcade game is actually this good, or maybe that's just the Furfag in me talking.

I just looked at it. Doesn't look bad, but I have Muramasa on the Wii. And Dust looks...cheap. To me anyway. I think I'll pass for now.
Wrote a review if anyone is interested: http://www.giantbomb.com/dust-an-elysian-tail/61-27691/user-reviews/?review_id=23863
As much fun as a sidescrolling game can be, I think that if you must have an RPG with a Furry canine hero, Solatorobo is also good. And don't tell I'm comparing apples to oranges here- you've got a much better combo system in Dust, but what's the point of having a Furry character when he is just a generic hero with no personality who runs from right to left and slashes things? You could have a human character for Dust and it would not make much difference. Granted, slashing enemies in a thousand different ways is awesome but why does he have to be Furry? I like it but the Furriness of this character is just slapped on.

Yes, we Furries will buy everything with pointed ears and a tail.

True, but you didn't understand what I meant. I meant it appeals to the dude who MADE it.
Also, reading over your previous comment it occurs to me it's both nonsensical and frankly you've no grounds of definitions to defend it with. Which makes me wonder why you even said it in the first place.

I found the combat in Muramasa increasingly tedious and ultimately boring. Dust handles its combat system a lot better even though it has way less crap(items) to worry about and is a bit shorter.

Not to throw huge spoilers in but there's basically a huge amount of the plot involving genocide between warmbloods (mammal species) and moonbloods (lizards). I'd say it's a little more then slapped on.
Having actually beat it, I can say the game is pretty awesome. Fairly well written story and pretty solid combat and platforming.

What does it mean to "slap on furriness"? Why not have something different? Not everything in a game needs to be explained.
Strictly your opinion.

Yes, that was a fascinating experience.
I didn't do all the side quests, especially the ones for Mudpot because navigating that area is a pain in the balls.

I'm pretty sure I found almost everything (all the maps were clean and complete), but for some reason the completion percentages didn't add up to 100%. I finished the game with a total of 109% even though some areas still said I was missing stuff.
I also found a way to glitch myself under the ground and get stuck in the walls Sonic style (trapped and can't go anywhere, had to load my last savepoint) in the snowy mountain-top area. I did it by pressing L-trigger and A in quick succession (I found this little trick makes you move quicker, like bunny-hopping), but apparently, if you do it while moving up certain slopes, you fall through the ground. I was able to repeat it several times, so I know it wasn't just a fluke.

What the Hell I'm doing here?
Try to do it on hardcore, navigating between all those one-hit kill spikes and those damn bubbles that launch you into them.... ughhhhh....
Well, completed it 117% (Halo reference?) in the morning in hardcore. its soooo easy when you get in your hands those rings that give Fidget x3 and x2 power
