I saw that it was finally up on the JP XBLA and I got the full version after trying out the demo. Sweet game!

So many good games on XBLA, It's a good thing I picked up that 3500 MS point card awhile back. I spent 2400 points on this and Braid (1 1/2 weeks ago) and my points are almost drained! (800 left) Gonna have to pick up another point card soon, hehe.

I think there are some widespread connectivity issues with CC at the moment.

Yes :(

I'm having problems connecting with Onyx and Machina!

I need 5 reasons why I should buy this game when I get home!

I wish I was online playing :(

@gebx

1. Lengthy game, can easily plug 40-60+ into it if you're a perfectionist. Maybe more.

2. Combat is awesome. Beefy mode rocks. I wish peanut butter and jelly sandwichs did this in real life.

3. Great online modes. Unfortunately it seems there's problems with connecting to friends, but I'm sure that'll be resolved in a few days.

4. Very humorous situations.

5. Damn great art design, music, etc.

Bonus reason: It's a freaking beat 'em up in 2008! We're not getting any more Streets of Rage, Guardian Heroes or TMNT games. This is the torch that is carrying the genre. If you like the genre, just get the game. It's easily amongst the best ever.

So what is everyone on?

I'm Alien Hominid, Level 22, in the Lava World. What a bitch of a place to complete. I may need to beat this in co-op.

I'm 50% to max on Strength, Magic and Defense. 25% to max on Agility. It sucks because you only get one skill point to use past level 20.

Those are some pretty compelling reasons, is there local co-op or just online?

De85 - Both online and offline from my understanding.

The co-op is offline for 2-4 players, online for 2-4 players and the online co-op can be mixed with the offline.

It's addicting!

Maybe it's best we can't link up right now, Onyx ........ lol
