[Story]
A classic story. And I mean classic. Like really, really classic. Meat Boy has a lover, Bandage Girl. The two of them are really happy together, until the moment when dr. Fetus shows up. What do we know about dr. Fetus? Well basically, he's just pissed because nobody loves him. But anyway... Meat Boy is pissed now too, and follows Fetus to different worlds to save his girl. Cute huh?
                                        
[Graphics]
It's a 2D game, but that doesn't take away the fun. The cutscenes are well animated for a cartoon-style game. But if you're looking for realism, this isn't quite your game. Then again, what can you expect some pieces of running meat to look like?


[Sound]
The music is simply amazing. It fits perfectly what you have to do in the game. Epic orchestra pieces for the bosses are the best. I also loved the sound of Meat Boy sprinting and wall-jumping. Since he's a piece of meat flapping against the wall, it sounds like... a piece of meat flapping against the wall.
                                 
[Gameplay]
Looking for the ultimate rage quit game? Super Meat Boy calls dibs.  This game is extremely difficult and frustrating, having you die at the exact same spot all the time. But then again, it is extremely fun to play and not long after quitting, you want to play it again. To make it even more frustrating, there are collectables called bandages, and by collecting them you gain extra characters. There is also a Dark World, which is even harder than the regular one, and after finishing the game, there is the even harder Cotton Alley, where you play as Bandage Girl trying to save Meat Boy.  Great game, extremely fun to play.



[Extra’s] (optional)
Commentated gameplay of Super Meat boy will be on http://www.youtube.com/IntFriction in a few days.

[Verdict]
Fun to play, but very hard.  Awesome music, but the graphics could have been environmentally better. Totally worth playing.
