Ok, I just bought this game, mostly based on comments here. WTF am I supposed to do with this game? I've tried a few different maps.

There are no objectives in the game.

Well, there is the one global objective of trying to reach the other planets in the solar system but aside from that nothing. We are still rather far away from even Mars though. I suppose the best place to start would be going after the trophies as they are all fairly easy to get. However the game's creator, Keita Takahashi, has stated that he wanted to create a game without goals or objectives. What he wants is for players to actually play with the damn thing and create their own fun.

I would say just play around with it for a while. Roam around, eat stuff, try different levels, enjoy the background music, etc. Once you feel comfortable with the game start messing around with synchro boy. You can do this by going into BOY's house and holding down L1 and R1 and then pressing L2 and R2. This will pop out up to four boys.

The game really shines in multiplayer though. It's just a lot of fun wandering around a big level with a bunch of friends, eating and pooping, growing and stretching, and eating each other.

I picked up the Sonic Genesis Collection from ebay for 20 bucks. I kinda missed the old retro 2d gaming and it was nice to get that nostalgic feeling again playing sonic, streets of rage, alex kidd, altered beast, alien storm, etc.. etc i forgot how awesome Golden Axe and Shinobi III were on the genesis.

I was one of the last people in the world to play Bioshock the past couple weeks, but I've finished that up and I'm moving to Mass Effect. I'm about an hour in it's pretty boring so far though. Too many damn questions to answer.
