Hi guys. I just played through Braid. It on the surface appears to be a platformer, but is actually a time based puzzle game. It has Japanese language available and an interesting story. I highly recommend it.

I wasn't aware it was available outside the xbox. And it's on steam too. Nice! I'll have to try to see if I can set up Japanese stuff on the steam demo version or not. It doesn't look like you spend much time reading in this game though.

There is quite a bit actually.

Very good game.

I found the story so very confusing. I was reading through all those books that you come across, but usually come across even more confused. This was in ENGLISH, let alone Japanese! It doesn't help that the story is played out sortof backwards or whatever either -_-

Great game, but there isn't a huge amount of text in it, English or Japanese. If I was going to play something in Japanese, it'd be one with more to read, just to immerse myself in the language.

The game is incredible, and I love the music, but aside from (*SPOILER POTENTIAL*) the end sequence which I thought was quite brilliantly done, the story was... nonsensical, to say the least. Even if you say you're supposed to interpret it, I think the developers were taking refuge in post-modern deconstruction in order to be pretentious.
