When Castle Crashers was preferred to me by a friend of mine as an arcade game on Xbox Live, I was skeptical. the title seemed weird, and when people explained to me what you do in the game I thought it would be extremely disappointing (not including the fact that it's 2D). However, despite my skepticism I bought it anyway since my friends wanted me to and I must say it was the best arcade purchase I have ever made. It is HIGHLY addicting and absolutely genius. It is very funny in particular levels, and the knights you play are never-ending fun. What I also love about the game is that when you beat it with a character, the fun does not stop there. For most characters, when you beat the game, you unlock a new character with new powers; this makes the game ten times more fun because there is ALWAYS something to do. Also for those who want a challenge, they even have an Insane Mode selection that you could choose to make it more difficult. When you beat the game with a character, you get skull next to your name showing other players that you beat it with that character. If you beat the game on Insane Mode? Gold Skull :). Its not split screen when you play up to 4 people either, so you can see the whole screen. I highly recommend this game to anyone, it is well-worth the purchase. And warning; you will become addicted!
