    Great game, especially since it's quite cheap on the Xbox Game Marketplace, you definatly get your monies worth out of this game! The only problems I would have with the game is the lack of actual hydrophobia (I know it sounds silly, but the main character is quite fearless of water..) and some glitchy things, but they're very little. You can either just power through this game, or take itGreat game, especially since it's quite cheap on the Xbox Game Marketplace, you definatly get your monies worth out of this game! The only problems I would have with the game is the lack of actual hydrophobia (I know it sounds silly, but the main character is quite fearless of water..) and some glitchy things, but they're very little. You can either just power through this game, or take it slow and get all the documents and items, which I did to get the achievements, which is a good 200G to get if you like you're gamerscore! I think this game is worth the buy for what it's priced and you could get a good few days of playing out of this, it has some replay value, but defiantly worth the buy! Great game, glad I got it! 7/10 Would recommend!… Expand

    Decent game. I got it on sale for the right price of $5 years ago. Was able to enjoy it.

    It's exciting to see a downloadable game with this much ambition, but if the kitchen sink approach can't do justice to the faucet and the bowl simultaneously, then omit both.

    Hydrophobia Pure is a decent enough game for a downloadable title, but as mentioned feels more like a tech demo for water physics than a fully thought out game. You can see what the developers were aiming for, but it misses the mark in many places.

    Considering the cost of the game on XBLA, you can certainly do worse when choosing a title to tide you over for a good survival-action game.
