Random Gamer's Review of Castle Crashers

Grundy the Man writes, "Originally entitled Ye Olde Side-Scroller, the game was first shown at Comic-Con 2005, but in light of the Columbine School shootings, went dark due to concerns over the violence depicted in the game. After the buzz surrounding the school shootings faded, the development team continued in their efforts to bring the newly renamed, Castle Crashers to the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Three years later, the game was released to the fever pitch anticipation of hardcore fans.

Does Castle Crashers live up the legacy that The Behemoth established with Alien Hominid, or will it be lost in the shadow of their past successes?"

Yeah, I think the delay to the patch may have killed the momentum for the release.

Never tried and probably never well, simply because I have too many other games to play. But sounds fun.

It really is a fun game, it just shot itself in the foot at launch. Hopefully some people will be able to look past the problems, now that the official patch has been issued.

Oh yeah.. great game for sure! The save feature killed it for me though.. But That's why I say.. If you are buying it NOW then you will have a great time with it.. without the worry of losing everything

I only played in local coop, so when they issued the patch, I was luckily still ok.

I love Behemoth's art style and picked up Alien Hominid a while back. Is there any word or confirmation on this game coming to any other platform? PC, DS, PS3?

I don't know of any plans that they have announced, but Alien Hominid came to about every platform known to man. So don't be surprised to see it hopefully coming to other platforms in 2009.
