User Rating: 8.5 | Castle Crashers X360
This game is great fun from the get go, the style of the drawings is in the same vain of Alien Hominid which isn't a bad thing. The characters are a bland collection of four different elements, all having the same move but their magic and ranged magic, all done in a beautiful cartoon style. It works like Streets Of Rage, progressing from left to right, beating the crap out of anything moving, and finally collecting any weapons, pets, coins and items. Although it's just like FFCC and ZTFS, there are no puzzles, just carnage from beginning to end, once in the while asking us to use an item to open up the new way and it's never too mind boggling. It's fused with RPG elements, with the use of experience to level up, then using points to tailor your character to your needs with more strength, magic, health and speed, however after hitting level 20 you only receive one point to spend every level making it a tiresome task in some cases. There is also Pokemon feel to the collection of pets and weapons, which offer stats bonuses, but the shear number and difficultly to collect them all may bore some people. You can also unlock extra characters, but all act the same, apart from their magic attack, but it mainly just shoot arrows and look different. But where Castle Crashers really shines is the multiplayer fun, it's nothing where brain is needed and would be good for any large number of friends with time to spare.
