Product Description

Single Player, Xbox Live Multiplayer 1-2, Local Multiplayer 1-2, HD (High Definition) Mount thy noble ostrich and ride forth into battle! If you choose to venture with a friend, your companion shall ride a proud stork. Together, defeat three types of enemy knights: red Bounders, silver Hunters and dark blue Shadow Lords. As these villains fly through the caves atop swift-winged buzzards, strike them from above with your trusty lance. Capture the resulting eggs before they hatch or even stronger foes will emerge. Watch for the pterodactyls that infest these caverns—if your quest takes too long, they will attack. And as the lava pit rises higher and higher, flap mightily to stay aloft… far from the grasp of the troll that would drag you down to the fiery depths. There are no refunds for this item.

I have been a Joust fan for decades, I wasted countless quarters in the original machine and have bought virtually every adaptation I could over the years.

I was a smidge disappointed in the Xbox360 port - the controls seem a little bit sluggish, which is kind of surprising given the original vintage of the game and the hardware it ran on.

It's not horrible, it's just that sometimes I feel like there's too much delay between when the button is pressed and the wings flap, which is a critical disadvantage in this game.

We plan to buy an inexpensive 'retro' joystick for the 360, and we're hoping that will fix some of the control issues, but this is still a winner and worth the pittance it costs to get on your machine!

This is a great classic for XBLA. Fun and very addictive. 1 thing will piss you off is that FREAKIN pterodactyl. There is actually an achievement for jousting him in the (throat or mouth), I swear it's pure luck though. I must of tried to kill him or them 50 times before getting it.

Great game and worth buying from amazon. Never buy from Microsoft or order a block of points that you don't need.
