Hear, hear! Deadlyhead is absolutely right! Where would the British be if William Shakespeare had taken that stance regarding the IP rights of others???

I could only give it two stars for being British in origin, like the opium wars. However, hearing Wallace's voice every now and then made it two stars rather than only one IMHO.

I agree with the suggestions regarding leveleditor/pack but would also like to suggest the introduction of a second motor/turningpoint. Still would be plain an easy to build but add vast opportunities (Sry bout spelling)

The IPO propaganda is very tedious and the designers seem to have been very bad at playing their own game as many of the levels require far less ingenuity than they think. For example, B3 and D1 are possible without building any tools at all (in both cases, you can just ram things) and D4 is trivial using just a glued bar, even though the hint says that you need torque but can "struggle through" with swing or spin.

"Intellectual property" is a bogus term invented by the corporatocracy to better hide the fact that business is using law enforcement as thugs and henchmen, roughing up the citizenry who might otherwise be creative on their own and are thus a threat to the monopoly. This game, while entertaining, is nothing more than a propaganda piece aimed at children, the most impressionable and least likely among us to be able to think critically about ethics, free speech and the rights of the people in our society. Disgusting.

Did anyone else feel strangely insect-like when manipulating objects with crude tools? Great game! +1(xE100!) on badges!

Bazuzan, while I agree that knowledge belongs to the world, people who spend their life increasing that knowledge have to eat. The concept of IP isn't wrong as such, but in some areas the balance is off. Copyright lasts 50, 70 or (in the US, due to lobbying by Disney I'm told) 95 years, usually counting from author death. That's long, but for artistic stuff no huge disaster, especially considering "fair use". For software, however, it's an eternity, and I suspect there's a powerful lobby (micro$oft, among others) against shortening software copyright to something saner, like 10 years. On the other extreme, medicines get 20 years protection, but that's counting from about 15 years before it's considered effective and safe, so pharmaceutical companies only invest in drugs which they expect will yield 15 years research worth of money in under 5 years.

Really enjoyable, well thought out game, the only thing that annoyed me was when it reset after going to a different area, but that was my own fault!

It's an amazing game, graphics are made well, and having the ability to create your own designs is well thought of. But where would be the real plot? Pictures to describe something more deeply would be nice.

Copyright, religion and politics are three things what I don't want to see in a game. Especially from a highly biased viewpoint. 1/5 from me.

While I disagree with the biased point of view represented in the IP facts, I like this game. I don't know if you've tried reading anything about the negative aspects of IP (such as what id does to so called 3rd world countries, or how it helps certain companies to dominate market segments), if you haven't I highly recommend it. Nonetheless, pretty fantastic game. Loved it all the way to the end.

When I sa2w the Wallace and Grommit part of the name it just completely put me off the game, I didn't even try it. Then a couple of months later I saw that it had a very good rating. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
