I think its a great idea, I love the fact that it's not just praise of the
game but saying things they don't like and also praise of other developers
games e.g. doom 3> I really think all games should have this accessible once
you've completed it. anyone else got any thought on it?

Good idea, but room for improvement. The commentary is generally very
dull and difficult to understand, but I wish more games to do this in
the future.

Personally I think you should have been able to hear it from beginning to
end, rather then play the whole game over just to hear the details. I
agree, very cool. Not only is it interesting, but gives you a lot of
insight to how a game is built. I Loved Chronicles of Riddick, great game!

If you found the commentary dull and difficult to understand, I hate to
think what kind of commentary you would have liked instead. Monosylabic
quotes from the back of cereal packets maybe? FFS.

Really great idea - surprised it's not been done before.

Would have been better had it been more interactive somehow - i.e. even if
you could speed up the boring bits, or some way of keeping amused during
some which could be many minutes long.

Bottom line, though, is that it was an extra I wasn't expecting and really
enhanced the overall experience.

You could write it.
