Three games would set you back $30 on xbla marketplace. So this is a good deal at $20. The best game of this vol is Peggle which will provide hours of puzzle fun. The other two games heavy weapon and feeding frenzy two are decent but not in the same class as peggle.
Also you will need to play the games via your xbla arcade not off the disk directly. I also loaded the disk directly onto my hard drive but Im not sure if that step was required.

I've owned or played hundreds of Xbox & Xbox 360 games, and this has to be the first time I've ever had this happen. You MUST play this game from the Arcade section of your Xbox 360 dashboard. It will NOT startup automatically like every other game. It should be like the arcade disk that came with the entry level Xbox 360 (Luxor, Uno, etc.) where the disk spins up to a menu, but it doesn't. There should be a label or something that says this when opening the contents. I opened a return authorization that I guess you have to let expire, because I couldn't find a way to cancel it.

As for the actual game, I only just verified from another poster that this indeed was the issue, and I haven't really played any of the games yet. I had played the trial version of FF 2, while not seemingly as entertaining as FF 1, it looks interesting with a bunch of new content. Though the new content just looks like it was laid over the old, enough new content should make it interesting. It's not FF XIII, nor should it be compared as such. LOL!! For $18, it's a good game pack for "little thought required" entertainment.

I used to play this game on the internet, it has saved me so much money not having to pay for it anymore. I wish that POPCAP games would come out with other games that I grew up on in the 80's. Fantastic...

the family hit "peggle" is now on xbox 360! play with the masters or against your friends and family for extra fun.
"feeding frenzy 2" is fun, but the fish is too sensitive making it rough to steer (bad for when the ocean is chock full!) you're better off with the computer version.

the heavy weapon was boring.however, the peggle game is worth it all!

Peggle is the only real game here. Feeding Frenzy II and Heavy Weapon are just time wasters.

If you haven't played Peggle, you haven't lived.

I got Pop Cap Arcade Volume 2 because I wanted a few casual games to play on my XBox 360.

Feeding Frenzy 2 - I found this 'game' to get boring really quickly. Good for little kids that don't know that games are supposed to be fun.

Heavy Weapon - Fun! I liked this game the best of the 3. Nothing beats a game that gives you a quick hit of adrenalin! This games overall feel made me think that they 'borrowed' a few things from the Metal Slug games.

Peggle - Disappointing. I had high hopes for this game with all of the good reviews it gets. The levels start out simple and well thought out but as you progress, you have to rely on 'dumb luck' more than aiming and banking to clear a level.

I should have saved some money just by buying Heavy Weapon on XBL.

how can i review something wheni never got the stuff. i had order the game and paed for it but never got it!!!!!!!!!

Update - you can't run it straight from DVD must go to xbox 360 menu and launch arcade games. Lots of fun I can't stop playing it. I wish amazon would let me change the star rating on the update, I would up it to 4 stars!

Played the demo from xbox live liked it. I preordered it here instead of buying from Microsoft better deal with 3 games. When I try to play no joy, screen goes dark and returns to menu, no scratches on disc, all other games play fine. I'm wondering if it's just my disk that's bad?
