Nice when you finally shore up 1200 points for a game and the multiplayer is completely broken. Thanks!

Definitely the coolest XBLA game out there. If the 1200 points is keeping you from this one, check out the video below to find out how to get microsoft points for free!

I can't remember the last time I played on Live versus (or with an actual player), I keep paying for the service for when games like this come out and I want to jump into a game with a friend. While I LOVE the game in single player, I have yet to even be able to connect to an online game (neither friends nor random stranger). Bad Microsoft! No free sodas for you!

I'm actually a bit surprised there's no mention of all the woes with CC here at all?

Major, wouldn't that be something to mention or help those that are dealing with it?

Frankly I've seen so much in the xbox and gamefaq forums that I'm waiting on my buy, even though I picked up a MS card on the way home for it =b Just too many critical problems with it right now.

@Anon 84

- Okay, okay, I now understand your frustration as myself and two other friends experienced that same issue last night.

1. We started up an online game (I'm in Florida, one is in Georgia and last is in North Carolina)

2. The game would allows us to play for at least 20 minutes, THEN kick North Carolina player out.

3. This went on for about 45 minutes.

4. We got tired, Georgia left and played single player to unlock more characters. Myself (Florida) and North Carolina went and played Too Human. It (Too Human) worked fine, not sure what level he chose, but I could not choose ANY of my blades (weapons) for the Berserker Class or any class.

SOMEWHAT OFF SUBJECT

Microsoft, if you are looking for an intense Tester, hire me and give me Five Access codes I can give to my selected friends to allow them to download the app I'd be testing for online play and multiplayer. All I would need is an update every weekend, as we all TALK (report - written and verbal) about issues and workarounds - you could fix all of that. No, I'm not kidding. It would be best just to post a list of apps to choose from to be more efficient in testing. And if it would not be too much, an invisible gamer tag so regular gamers can never detect me or us.

Thanks.

This game is completely unplayable online. You can never connect to play and if you do you get booted 3 mins later. The issue seems to be that Microsoft only partitioned so much bandwidth for this game and they were way off. There are a lot more issues besides not being able to play online but that is the biggest problem. Seriously who is in charge over there? How did this pass QA all these issues. I mean you pay $15 for the game and 50 bucks just to play online and you cannot at all. Microsoft needs to address this issue to us to have an ETA on when it will be fixed and acknowledgment of the issues.

Any news on when the online side of the game will be fixed? A few mates and myself have been trying since yesterday to get a game working and we keep getting a 'Game no longer available' message or get booted back to the menu. I hope it gets fixed soon as its spoiling what could be a great game!

I hope they resolve all the multiplayer and save issues shortly, its been a bit of a mess and kept me just toying with the trial so far. For those of you also playing the trial, you can exit to map when the monster goes to turn off the light if you're experimenting with stats and builds.

@Shonk

- Castle Crashers fun, very old school with simplistic controls. I've finally had a chance to sit down and play a full level and it was pure joy as I entered the first area with the giant boss and when he knocked me down, his people stood up and cheered and raised their flags, just hilarious!

I was supposed to play online with two gamers from here, but I got sleepy and headed to bed.

To the point, I have not had a chance to experience the online section of Castle Crashers. I'll be doing that soon. I hope and know it is going to work correctly.

Skonk, hopefully future XBLA games will be this fun and deep (as not thin like Battlestar Galatica, Aegis Wing, Wing Commander or Yaris). I would like to call it quick, cheap fun, but it is not, it is pure joy in my book just like Pac Man C.E. and Galaga Legions.

Dang! I went to http://www.castlecrashers.com/ the other day not thinking it would never end, but now I can't get my desktop wallpapers! I guess I'll have to try back later this weekend.
