Outland is one of the most unique and intriguing games I’ve ever played on the PSN. It feels like a great blend of many video game and cultural influences. Overall, the story and feeling kind of remind me of a miniature Shadow of the Colossus.
The South American setting accentuates the beautiful visuals and contributes much to the overall ambiance of the game, which makes it fun and interesting to watch. The evil (red) vs good (blue) mechanic was fun and challenging and, with the exception of a few minor quibbles, the game is fantastic.
The developers did commit a huge cardinal sin, though. You see, this game is hard. We’re talking Contra level of difficulty sometimes. So, naturally, there are a lot of checkpoints, but during the super technical, multi-staged boss battles, there are none to be found. I had to play each of the five bosses 20 times, which wouldn’t have been so bad if I didn’t have to replay the five minutes leading up to the battle every time! Not cool at all. It was almost a deal breaker, but now that I made it through, I’m glad I did. You will be, too!

Hoho, you jumped this one way before me : D
I just recently picked it up, and it's soooo good <33
It reminds me of SotC too! As well as Majin, and NyQuest (on WiiWare).
