The negatives are correct. I've been experiencing intermittent connection, though for about an hour earlier (It's 2AM here now) it was running fine. Apart from that this game is really fun, you should definitely download the trial if nothing else.

Great score. I was hoping it would atleast get a 9.0 with the score that Braid got though.

The connection issues do need to be addressed, given my earlier experiences. I was completely unable to get a four-player game running for anything longer than a few seconds, if at all due to a problem that wouldn't allow a friend and I to be in the same room until he reset his 360. I did get a few two and three player games going and once things were running smoothly, the game was a hell of a lot of fun and totally worth the $15 price of admission.

Just as PSN makes strides to close the gap, Microsoft opens that bad boy back up, wider than before.

I suggest everyone wait until it's patched to avoid frustration. I know SOME people have no issues running the game online, but who knows if you will be one of those or not. I've been playing it offline and it's still a blast on my own :) I have a poison knight near-maxed in magic.

game is a blast by yourself. I know it will be even more fun with coop. Also the game is glitchy, but its pros heavily outweigh the cons.

since that's obviously an online glitch and can be patched, why'd they count off for it? I mean its certain to be patched soon, and its an online error.

Well couldn't it be related to the # of downloaders it's getting? I don't think i've heard of games getting counted off for connection issues, there have been plenty of them..(cod4 takes the cake)

IDK how COD4 was when it first came out. However many games lose points on having lousy net code.

I downloaded the braid and the castle crashers demos today. I enjoyed the CC demo more than braid, from the demo I would have to say braid is overrated. I going to buy the full ver of CC right now.

Good choice, the only problem currently is the online play.

Castle Crashers is great, but at the moment, it's almost impossible to get 4 player co-op working properly online.

Still a lot of fun, even with two player online co-op, and there'll be no reason not to pick this up once the netcode is functional.

Bought the game today and played for about a hour and a half and i'm not even close to finishing it defenetly worth the money. The gameplay is great and satisfying and playing both alone, online, with friends and over xbox live is great all they need to do is fix the online issues and all will be ok. Also I really like the feuture that you can be like 2 people at home and both of you can join or create a xbox live game for 4 people like in gears of war and halo all it takes is button press on the controller :D.

I just got done with a 2 hour 4-player local co-op session next door and I have to say the game is a ton of fun.

Now I need a memory card so I can take my unlocked and leveld up toons to my friends house for co-op.

Just beat the entire campaign with a level 28 Green Knight and I have to say, CC is definitely one of the best downloadable games hands down. I'd say it's easily AAA material in my opinion. As for connection problems, I personally haven't experienced any but I've only played with 1 or 2 other people online.

Also, BEST ENDING EVER. People who have beaten the game and seen the last princess will know what I'm talking about. :D

Downloadable gaming appears to belong to XBLA.

High five to Microsoft, they're actually releasing varied game genres at last....just what the 360 needs, IMO.

Indeed, I was pleasently surprised on how much time I spent on XBLA games, though my wife is starting to hate that darn xbox marketplace! She thinks i should just play kiddie games on the wii with her more. :( and buy Little Big Planet ... she thinks I'm 12 i swear ^.^
