As these Arcade games go, Joust hasn't lost a bit of its originality, challenge, and skill-based gameplay. It's way better with another player, especially in co-op.
Joust is a bona fide arcade classic, and this Xbox Live Arcade edition is a fine tribute to the 1982 original.
It's this progressive difficulty that makes Joust just as intense today as it was 20 years ago, and a welcome addition to the Live Arcade for those who fondly recall the Defender days of yore.
Joust is a pretty good game, but it is strictly only for those who were actually gaming when the game was still out in the arcades, and at 400 points or five bucks you can’t go wrong.
An enjoyable slice of vintage magic. [Issue#23, p.97]
Sadly, this flashback is best left in the tar pits of old-school. [Jun 2006, p.61]
