5.0 out of 5 stars Castle Crashers is fun and female approved!, April 9, 2009

Truth be told, it is my husband's Xbox. He is a serious gamer, and I am a reluctant game watcher. I don't excel at first person shooters, and racing games are not for me. But when I first saw Castle Crashers, reminiscent of the old side-scroller Castlevania, I was intrigued. My husband, always on the lookout for a game that I will willingly play with him (I love Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but he doesn't) purchased Castle Crashers in the hope that I'll at least pretend to like it for a few hours. Much too both our surprise I loved it! The graphics are fun. The game play is easy to learn, yet dynamic enough that you don't get bored. It is so fun to be able to play either 4 man local, or online. We have enjoyed hours upon hours of unlocking characters and capping out abilities. One of my favorite things about the game is that you can play for only 5 minutes and get something accomplished. You don't have to have unbelievable amounts of time to dedicate to the game in order to have a good time.

Castle Crasher is a fun side scrolling multiplayer beat 'em up with some simple RPG elements thrown in. The game has a very nice style and humor and there are plenty of stages to play through. Once you've completed the game you can play through on hard mode, or play through again with unlockable characters. Again, this is a very fun game to play with friends and will give many hours of enjoyment.

This game is a lot of fun. It is even more fun with 3 other players. You have the option to have a couple of local players and play online with extra players. If you loved alien hominic, this is even better. It is really cheap for what you get. I have played it through several times and leveled several characters, mostly because I choose a brand new character every time I start going through the game again with other friends. Customization of weapons is simple enough not to go to forums to understand but complex enough to keep it interesting and get that rpg feeling of upgrading and reward for your skill. Animation is pretty and the fart humor is funny.

Bottom line: No Xbox Live Arcade fan should be caught without this one!
