SOMETIMES I SEE A TEXT BOX AND I JUST CAN'T HELP MYSSDFGFFDHFGDJGGFSHGDFH
This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.
Specifically: Grammar, very few comparisons, low resolution/few images and pretty basic overall.
Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Hmmm...
To do:
Needs more information and comparisons, also document leaked licensee build dated 2014.

Before the game's official release, most players were able to preload and play the game on their platforms. The build files originated from the game preload DVD. This build is nearly identical to the final build, with only a few known differences. This build is dated as March 9th 2011.

Differences

General

The game boot loading is different. It doesn't have game logo, but it does have loading text. The similar game boot loading from this build is used on Nintendo Switch port of the game, but with game logo.

Main Menu

Hmmm...
To do:
  • There's probably more, considering this is a dynamic title screen (at least in the final).

  • The main menu is way different than the final game.
  • The "Extras" and "Robot Enrichment Store" buttons on the main menu are missing.

Gameplay

  • A pre-release disclaimer watermark exists during gameplay that says PRERELEASE BUILD DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.
  • Higher resolution on the Underground Paint Dropper.
