Sideway: New York is a nice mix of platforming, exploration and action to keep things fun and interesting throughout. The game is easy to pick up and play, but it gets more challenging as you progress. There are a ton of unlockable paint powers, speed runs, puzzles, hidden tags and areas to find, and the levels and enemies get more and more twisted as you make your way through a single day trapped on New York buildings all the way to Times Square for the big finale.

Yessir, you can have all of that awesome permanently burned into your mind today for $9.99 — $7.99 if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber (this week only). In a lot of ways, Sideway was a way for us to bring some life back to the platformer genre, a genre that I think gets a bum rap as as being stagnant.

In any event, it’s been a positively rawkin’ experience getting the game ready for you guys, and we really hope you like it one-third as much as we loved making it. And hey, maybe one of you will be the first to find all of the score tags in the game…I’m not sure any our quality control guys or level designers have gotten all of them, yet.

Really, on behalf of all of us at Playbrains, Fuel Entertainment and Sony Online Entertainment, thanks for reading and following us throughout the game’s development, and I hope you get a chance to check it out on PSN today. And once you’re done playing the demo, you should definitely buy it, you cheap goober.

Anyone else pick this up? I'm really digging it so far. Definitely has its own unique style. Pretty fun. There's a demo to check out too.

PS- couldn't find a thead on it, if there is Toxa or Shin can move it or delete it or yell at me.

After I tried the demo I bought it. I was surprised that I liked it.

I fired this game up a couple of days ago and it's pretty fun. Cool art style and the game mechanic of being able to alter which way is "up" is pretty neat.

Not a terribly difficult game from what I could see, but worth the price of admission for the great presentation and mind-bending gameplay.

Just wrapped up my 100% on the game, and no, it's not that difficult. The hardest part is the repetition, i.e. one boss fight requires you to do something moderately easy, but 4 times. Die once and start over.

All in all, really fun game. A couple of the harder levels had me thinking about my approach because of the 2D/3D contrast. Definitely recommend this game.
