Castle Crashers is a beat um up style of game like Double Dragon. It was created by the same people that brought you Alien Hominid HD. This game is a great addition to your Xbox Live Arcade collection. You can pick this game up for 1200 MS points.
Overview
At the start of the game you find yourself at a party. The king and the 4 princesses are there. The 4 princesses are stolen by some bad guys and you must rescue them. This game has an RPG element to it because you level up over time. When you level up you are able to assign points to certain skills. Throughout the game you are able to get new weapons and animals that will help you in battle.
Gameplay - 10/10
There are 3 modes of play in this game: Castle Crashers is the standard game. All you can quaff is a game where you press Y and X as fast as you can to eat food. The first one to eat all of your food wins. The third game type is called arena. In this mode you face off in a deathmatch against another player.
This game supports up to 4 people over Xbox Live or in split screen. The only problem with this is that 2 people can't choose the same character. So if you and your friend both use the red knight as their main character one of you can't use it. This can become a pain if your playing the final boss and you want your highest level characters.
The game is very simple. You hit X for a quick attack that does a little bit of damage. Hitting Y will do more damage but will be a slower attack. If you hold down the right trigger then press Y you will do a magic attack. As you level up your magic you will be able to do stronger attacks and be able to use the right trigger + X magic attack.
Throughout the game you will get new weapons in which you can use to increase your abilities. You can also find animals throughout the game that will make the gameplay different. If your character is mainly magic you will want to use the animal that gives +2 to magic and the weapon that gives +4 to magic. This game gets really fun when you start to mix and match your weapon and animal combos.
Graphics - 9/10
This is a beautifully animated game. Everything looks great, and attention to detail on the characters is astounding. The art style is fun and really allows this game to shine. The only problem I've had with it so far is sometimes it seems like a few colors will be off. Playing through as the red knight I had some instances where my helmet was blue. Other than that this game has one of the best graphics of any Xbox Live Arcade game.
Sound - 10/10
From the title screen to the end of the game the music in this game pleases. The "cut scenes" have funny and fitting sound effects. The background music is very subtle but gives the game a great feeling. You might now be able to hear it all the time, but without it the game would feel very awkward.
Overall - 10/10
This game is a lot of fun to play by yourself or with friends. The amazing art style, great sound and fun gameplay brings this game to the very top of Xbox Live Arcade titles. With up to 4 person co-op you can spend endless hours messing around on this fun game. The only thing that is bad about this game is that it costs a little bit more than most Xbox Live Arcade games at 1200 MS Points.
