I tried this a bit ago and thought it was pretty good. I had read some surprisingly positive impressions about it from some larger sites too.

I was kind of surprised that none of the voice work was changed. The main characters speak in Japanese and the menu voice over guy speaks such perfect Engrish that it almost seems like he's doing it on purpose lol.

Another side-scrolling shooter? Ugh. How about something original?

I agree. Xbox Live goes down and I can't play my arcade games. The multi-billion dollar corporation known as Microsoft doesn't mind screwing middle class America over $10.

I didn't know the DRM issue was so bad. When we got our 360 back in October, we figured the DLC would be like the Wii's VC service. Download it, you have it, you're fine. Now we've got DLC for multiple games... sometimes downloaded on his account, sometimes on mine, but we consider it 'ours'. We've racked up around 30 XBLA games as well in that short time. If we have to jump through hoops to get stuff we paid for to work....

I personally think the best thing people who are affected by DRM issues CAN do is to bring this issue up as often as possible outside of Xbox/Microsoft forums. It's ridiculous that Microsoft is ignoring you guys while making money off of you. Though... this is Microsoft.

Yup... I am avoiding ALL XBOX LIVE ARCADE titles until they fix the DRM issue. My girlfriend can't even play on her account again, and she refuses to play all the levels again on Zuma since I replaced my busted 360.

Worse thing is, I can't even purchase it again. Very dissapointing, I wished they thought about a better way before setting the DRM policy in stone like that. I've been pursuing this issue for almost a year now, and nothing.

I agree. I've bought loads of arcade games in the past but I've just boycott them thanks to them not working because a) I have a replacement system and b) I've just upgraded to the 120GB HDD. Now most of my arcade games think they're just demos and I have to repurchase them. Oh, and I have to be connected to Live to play them, which at the moment is a real pain. It's BS. I know I could fix it, but I don't want to spend hours on the phone to do it. And why should I have to? If you can't guarantee the games will work properly all the time, then why are you selling them?

If you want them to fix the DRM, just don't buy arcade games until they do.

I had my 360 fail last July. I've since had three replacements and the DRM issue is stopping me from playing XBL Marketplace downloads unless I am online. My girlfriend, who has her own gold account, can't access these downloads at all. I've repeatedly rung Xbox customer support, but the issue still unresolved. I have been told on two separate occasions that the issue would be sorted within thirty days, but this was not the case. I was also told, in December, that the problem would be completely resolved in January. I’m afraid, given my previous experiences, that I do not believe this.

I, like a great many others, WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING FROM THE XBOX LIVE SERVICE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

Hey Major, how come you can sell us Omega Five gamer pictures in Korea, but not the game itself? It does not make any sense.

I can`t even get a connection to Live at the moment. It`s getting worse. UP AND RUNNING. It`s up and running like a man in a wheelchair doing the 110 meters hurdles. 16 days up to now.

Where is the Videomarketplacecontent you (MS) announced for Germany till the end of 2k7.

What MS is doing at the moment isn`t really satisfying the customers. Butok, i forgot, it`s up and running...

Hedon you stated it must be our connection and that live is working fine,so obviously that is saying that we're lying about live being messed up"

Well, assume what you want. I never called anyone a liar, and I never would. I don't know everyone here, nor do I know their connection. So don't assume I was calling people liars. I was merely pointing out that Live is NOT down for most people. More than likely, people are experiencing internet issues if they are in the minority. Otherwise, there are a few hiccups with Live still, with a select few.

Brilliant game, downloaded the demo this morning and went into town to buy some gamer points after just one play of the demo. 2 Thumbs up from me

@RagingAvatar. That is a bloody disgrace, being denied something you have paid for. I'm urging all UK users with DRM problems to contact Trading Standards and the BBC watchdog programme. It's beginning to look like the only way we are going to get any joy regarding DRM is to bypass M$ and get our consumer guardians to publicly embarrass M$ into doing something. They cant afford more bad publicity after the RROD debacle and the Live fun over Christmas.

I sold my old 360 (I was broke) and eventually bought a new one, looking forward to getting my old arcade games back..

I'm in the same boat.

I asked the Major to escalate the issue for me, which he kindly did (good man) but the Microsoft tech support guy kindly told me 'Forget it. It's your own fault.' Which makes me wonder why I buy anything from the Marketplace anymore.

I was told my only solution is to buy replacement versions from the marketplace - which I can't because I already own them.

Great.

Big Guino, Sounds like your 360 might be about to go belly up. Mine started freezing before it happened. Do yourself a favour, and dont buy anymore arcade games until after it dies or you wont be able to play them on your new machine.
