Are the reports that the co-op game... (none / 0)

is laggy on XBL? Evil Avatar & other sites are posting that there are network issues. I'm currently at work right now & the darn filters won't allow me to research this.

is broken. Other then that its a good game.

- Hey, I sincerely think it is (none / 0)
  
  because XBL is getting hit so hard. I think the game isn't broken it is just MS LIVE issues. They will get it all ironed out in a couple of days. Then it should be smooth sailing without even so much as a patch.
  It could be that there are well over 5 million people trying to play this little gem.

So Far (none / 0)

I tried playing with Esuns boys last night. They could get into my game, but then when it loaded up, were booted out. And the voice communications didn't work. We had to private chat.
Second, I played 4 player local with my three children. We had a Blast! But after we finished about 45 minutes of the game, it just froze up!!
When I went to start up the game again (after rebooting), We were back at the Very Beginning!!!

- Does it pick up (none / 0)
  
  Because playing the trial it seemed like two buttons and it got well kind of boring? It must pick up with more exciting magic more explosions etc?

  - Didn't get too far either (none / 0)
    
    But I was level 4 when it crashed. I could pick from strength, agility, magic and???. I just started leveling up my Magic when it died. Also, as you level up, you get more attack combos.
    Plus, I got to ride this alligator thing. It was being used against us. I killed the guy and stole his ride. I CHOMP, CHOMPPED my way all over the battle field. It was hilarious!!

    - That makes me very concerned. (none / 0)
      
      If it is crashing when you are playing local MP, that doesn't bode well for the code itself, and maybe it is not just MS's XBL. Dang!!

I finished (none / 0)

the game last night. Overall it was a great arcade game, but it doesn't compare to Portal in the least bit. The game had a cheap sense of humor, which I guess makes sense for a game that had to cater to all ages, especially youth. Definitely has replay value for the campaign but the "all you can guaff" mode is completely pointless. Worth the 1200 ms points and I'd say it has about 5-6 hours of campaign play.

I've finished it as well (none / 0)

And I still keep playing it. There is a lot of replay value with this game. From unlocking all the characters to the arena and even the dumb all you can quaf thing. As long as they fix the online this game will live up to the hype.

I'm gonna saw me up some of that sex locust.
