  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] Namco's popular Mr. Driller character comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade in Mr. DRILLER Online. Featuring the same addictive single player drilling action from the classic arcade game, Mr. DRILLER Online now includes online play. Drill down through the colored blocks to meet your goal, but make sure you have enough air. All the drilling action you remember from the original arcade game is faithfully recreated in the Xbox LIVE version, with colorful graphics and challenging gameplay. Play the single-player Standard Driller or Quest Driller modes and keep up your air supply. Online modes: Take the game online with the split-screen Solo Battle, or try out the team-based Tag Battle. Simple controls and deep gameplay make for an addictive gaming experience, suitable for players of all ages and skill levels. [Microsoft] Expand

  1. Cheerful, perfectly pitched and instantly addictive, Mr Driller is the sort of thing that makes you want to grab those tiresome moaners and say "Look! This is casual gaming! It's what games are all about! And it's brilliant!"
  2. Mr. Driller on Live Arcade also marks the first time players can go online and compete or cooperate in a couple of different gaming modes. Unfortunately, as of this writing, the online play is spotty at best, suffering from lag and other issues to the point that it's unplayable most of the time.
  3. Given the amount of quality puzzle alternatives already available on XBLA, Mr. Driller Online should be avoided at all costs.
