Yes amazingly this game was once for the Xbox 360 and I played the living programming language out of it. From the RPG element to the beat em' up style it was a nostalgia heaven for me and my sister to play. I played as the green knight she played as the Red knight. But it came that time of day when I had to leave from my cousins house and return home from where I sleep. Now it came the day when it was released for the PSN (Playstation Network) special thing about the Castle Crashers this time around is the fact that all the DLC from the Xbox 360 version is free. At the cost of people have to play through the game to unlock said characters such as the Necromancer from the Necromancer pack also the King from the King DLC both from the 360 version of the game. Another difference is the fact that there is no more mini games, and it has been replaced by the volleyball game which in my opinion no where as good as the mini game since being on the same plane as the volleyball is annoying, and how it moves from plane to plane is more annoying.
How did I obtain said Castle Crashers, well as it was released on a wednesday, I have purchased a 20$ PSN card from the PSN store, and then after school I got the game on release date, and already knowing there was a guy who was already 1st on the leader board with 100,000 exp. Like geez I cannot play that fast to get that much EXP. But as I started up the game, I did not know which character I should choose, so I went with the green knight, because it looked like link from the Legend of Zelda but instead. He shoot poison from his hand, also he has the post DPS or damage per second for the after effect. Going through the game I mapped out where I would soon plan my farming trip to get more EXP for my characters. Such as the theives forest and the Ice land level. Near the end of the game I had to fight this evil wizard which in fact had about 5 stages to go through just as much as the boss from the Phantom hourglass or Spirit Tracks.
After all that I went through the credits and the last part of the game where my character kissed the orange princess which was actually a clown. Uh oh spoiler haha sorry. After all that I pretty much had to go through another mode called insane mode, this mode will make your thumbs wish they had not played this mode because it is just as hard as it gets, since the enemies have massive amounts of health such as 3500 HP while you are only dealing 35-42 damage, and they deal to you around 100- 237 damage per when you only have 1035 health (as a level 99) I find that to be insane and as the title of the mode says it. But the mode was made intentionally for the 4 player concept of the game which makes this game work alot more better and awesome. Also in this mode it is when you unlock the DLC characters like the King and the Necromancer.
If I was to choose my favorite part out of the entire game it would have to be the Ninja Pirate ship battle, it was the most awesomest thing I have seen in a game. Like really who does a level with Ninja Pirates... BEHEMOTH THATS WHO! Also the musical score is just wonderful for the game, and as soon as you start it up.
My main grips about the game as I said earlier is the volleyball mode, also when it comes to the online play when it comes to the intense parts of boss battles it can get really laggy and if unlucky and I had this happen a few times, make the game lag very hard so both connections are lost. Thats when the game pretty much slaps you and say go outside and do something else.
for now I am still addicted to the game play, and many more weapons to unlock!
