    When you play this game with a room of other people, and you find yourself laughing at all the gags and references to old games, you'll be in love with this XBLA treasure.

    The Behemoth has made one of the best games on Xbox Live Arcade, and it's a 2D beat 'em up that feels fresh from an early '90s arcade.

    If you have the capacity to overlook its technical issues and have a group of friends who like the genre, the game could be worth a download. However, until a patch arrives, the game cannot be wholeheartedly recommended.

    The best downloadable content to date, Castle Crashers is not only charmingly drawn, the game itself blends simplicity and complexity like no other. The dungeon-crawling aspect of the gameplay works remarkably well with the level by level system mechanics. I found this game EXTREMELY addictive single player, and the multiplayer is just a very appropriate bonus. Overall i think this is my 3rd favorite 360 game (behind Gears 1&2) and i recommend it to anybody with 1200 MS points… Expand

    Fantastic artwork, addicting and has alot of replayability, Castle Crashers is by far the one of the greatest games on the XBLA and will remain active in my Library of games for a long while. Behemoth has taken a step up from Alien Hominid with this masterpiece!… Expand

    This game is a fun, sidescroller beat-em up with good music and fun gameplay. It also has a lot of comedy in the middle of all of the fun gameplay. For example, as you are fighting through the forest and all of the animals are dying of constipation. The game lets you also play with up to 3 other players. As you can see, this game is loads of fun and can be fun with 3 other friends too.… Expand
