Do you get "Secret" stuff in the main menu? Also, has anyone tried pushing L3 and R3 at the same time during the main menu? What happens if you complete the trophies?

Also, has anyone tried pushing L3 and R3 at the same time during the main menu?

I agreed with you 100% at first. Then I went back just now and played through the demoscene/artwork again, this time looking for those shoutouts to other demoscene groups, this is definitely fun/hard. In fact, without using a trophy guide, I'm still missing a few. My wife thought it was weird and I agree with her. It wasn't really that ARTSY. How's this for interactive art? I would have preferred to see some impressionist-style still life where you can shake the controller and it shakes the whole room, breaking glasses, throwing flowers, etc. Then settles down to look beautiful. The demoscene thing (part of which is keeping the file size small - 105 MB!) is pretty cool. But people should know that it won't look as good as perfect textures and tons of detail. Overall, I'd say 6/10. But at $3, that's an easy price to swallow for the content. Pizza24/7 (woohoo! go pizza!)

But saying it's a 'perfect choice for someone who is looking for a unique experience on a gaming console' is a bit of a stretch. 'Unique' is way too broad a quality to categorize like that. Linger in Shadows is an obscure, interactive, animated short film whose pace is controlled by the viewer/player. It is NOT a typical 'game', that's for sure. The few 'gamey' elements are rather simple and are there essentially to make sure you're paying attention. They serve as a means to advance the story or theme, whatever it may be. I spent my admittedly short experience with Linger in Shadows figuring out just how to experience it, so an analysis on any message conveyed by the piece is beyond me at this point. The goal of Linger in Shadows is not to 'beat the game', as an earlier comment alludes to, so its rudimentary mechanics are really beside the point. At the very least, you'll need an open mind if you hope to get any enjoyment out of it. Sorry for the extensive quote usage.

An unspeakable act that you could perform with the game but charge someone 1-4 dollars in exchange for the act I will not mention by name? Bite the bullet and just learn a not-so-difficult 4 dollar lesson? Charge people like 1 or 2 dollars for you to get them all the trophies in Linger in the Shadows so that they can save some money and you can possibly turn a legal profit? @MadDamage

The only complaint I have about it is it's difficulty. It is tough if you don't know what to do, but once you figure that out it's TOO simple to solve. I personally would have liked to see some 'do two things at once' or 'hold the SixAxis at a specific angle' challenges to advance the title.. Agree 100%.
