Fez Xbox 360 Game Review

Since its introduction at the Independent Games Festival in 2007, many video game reporters wonder when will Fez be released. You cannot blame them from getting too excited as Polytron releases the game for Xbox Live Arcade.
Fez is a 2D game with a 3D perspective, a gameplay that is reminiscent to Super Paper Mario and Crush. The character manipulates his cubic world by shifting between its four sides. The use of Escher-like optical illusions reveals new pathways or secret passageways on specific sides of the world.
The story even pokes into the game’s play on dimension. Gomez, the sprite-like protagonists, wakes up one day realizing that his peaceful flat village is rocked by the arrival of cubes and the third dimension. It is up to him to uncover the mystery behind this change before time and space themselves become ripped apart in the process.
The visuals would remind you of classic 8-bit games, with shamelessly pixelated characters and surroundings. However, do not be deceived by its throwback look as Fez offers an extremely cerebral puzzle game that you can enjoy for hours.
Fez is now available on Xbox Live for only 800 Microsoft Points.
