This game is survival horror co-op. The enemy models will disgust you despite them being horribly outdated and the textures being low res. It gives you the benefits of a specific perk like a class, but allows you the freedom to deviate from that class if you so choose. Every shot feels like it counts when the Flesh Pounds show up and a voice chat is necessary to coordinate well.

The perfect platformer? It's hard to find difficult games these days, where newer gamers tend to prefer the easier. Meatboy truly revives the idea of controller snapping frustration (the good kind), making every victory all the sweeter. The controls are almost perfect. You will never die because the game let you down. Every death (I've almost reached 2000 deaths at the time of this writing less than 48 hours after release) is your own fault.

The soundtrack is brilliant for a cheap, indie game. It adds a lot to the already-impressive atmosphere and art style.

Side note: I also highly recommend an xbox 360 controller to accompany this game.
