I think I'll get this game, Castle Crashers is too far away...

I feel as if I should get this game for free seeing as half of the original didn't work for well over a year (multiplayer). And when they did patch it it still didn't work.

Thanks for sharing your feelings.

The question I have on my mind is whether or not the online multi player actually works. I have the first one and was never able to find a online game. Regardless of that the first was still fun and I do think I'll be getting the 2nd.

Was that 2 player same console co-op as well?

Darkharmony @ May 16th 2008 12:18AM

Nah, co-op online multi-player over live never seemed to work for me on the first game.

I love these video mini-reviews. Great job, Richard!

My only criticism, which I've seen mentioned before, is why don't you guys buy the full game and do a legit review? Why review the download? You guys must have some sort of budget given to you by your overlords. How cheap are they that they won't shell out the money to compensate you for the games you blog about, play and review? You need to make a business case that them paying for all of the games for you guys will make the site better, which will get you more hits which will make you more in advertising.
