The local play problem has been alot of xbox live titles, and i personally think all arcade games should be local multiplayer. Lets say for example joust. WHY THE HELL ISN'T jOUST local multiplayer... this is very dumb every other release of joust or classic arcade games always had 2 player local. I mean I cannot even think of any reason to justify multi on live only, but just to get more people to buy live gold, which isn't a bad thing, i love xbl, but i shouldn't have to deal with them excluding 2 player local on games that SHOULD!!!!!! have it. I should be able to enjoy a local arcade classic with my friends locally that don't have xbox 360, and i think its a kick in the consumers face that games that should and could have local multi. I understand UNO, card games, catan, ect, but arcade classics i mean c'mon. I was going to purchase all the old arcade classics untill i relized that most of them you can't play locally. I mean c'mon pac-man not 2 player local.. wtf. I'm not bashing M$, XBL, or Xbox but i do think this needs to be fixed. I can't see why they can't just update all of these arcade classics with local multiplayer. Want to get more money from people add this and i could almost bet money that they would sell more. I just can't justify paying 5-10 bucks for really old arcade games you cannot play locally with friends, or at least lower the price because in all reality these games are missing features in a sense. Well thats my rant. PiCkEL

Yeah, no time limits in inexcusible. Therer will sure to be a lot of cheaters that will not move and make you quit to take a loss. Maybe an update can fix this

Major, can you smack around the developers of this game? I mean, this is freakin common sense... What a shame. I can't wait until other board games come out that will be multi only. Arcade has been a huge let down in general. Oh well, good games are coming soon...........

Sorry guys, no local MP means no purchase from me. I'll give the makers of the physical games my money instead. What a *** up.

it's rubbish - they've made no attempt at adding combos or special moves in any of the games, should have released track and field instead

Does anyone else feel the game just feels...incomplete? It jsut seems like they weren't done with it and just released it anyway. Not jsut due to the lack of local MP and time limits, but the whole thing, the menues, the AI, everything

DaveUK you say the dumbest crap in every thread.

DaveUK — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 18:34:07 GMT

are the games "improved" with combos, special moves etc...? a "hyper" chess would be wicked

Yeah, I had been excited when I read this was coming out this week, but no local multiplayer is a deal breaker for me :-(

Add me to that list, too. No local multiplayer? That's just lame. I hate lazy programmers.
