Robert Workman GameDaily	August 28, 2008 - Excellent - The astounding visuals, classic gameplay, obscure humor and hours of beat-em-up action make this worth every one of your 1200 points. Full Review


Hilary Goldstein IGN	August 27, 2008 - Excellent - While there are some cheap moments with enemies firing at your backside, the bulk of Castle Crashers is an enjoyable ride and one every 360 owner should experience. Full Review


Andrew Hayward 1UP	September 2, 2008 - Good - Even without functional online play for all users, Castle Crashers is zany, accessible, and memorable, and it deserves to stand among XBLA's best entries -- but until a suitable fix is released, my recommendation remains tempered...if only slightly so. Full Review


Dan Whitehead Eurogamer	August 28, 2008 - Good - Despite the occasional design niggles, and the clunky matchmaking system, there's still more than enough fun in Castle Crashers to justify its 1200-Point price-tag. Full Review


Michael Pugliese Game Positive	September 3, 2008 - Good - If you have the capacity to overlook its technical issues and have a group of friends who like the genre, Castle Crashers could be worth a download. However, until a patch arrives, the game cannot be wholeheartedly recommended. Full Review


Don Francis GameSpot	August 27, 2008 - Good - As a testament to its entertainment, feature losses and some disappointing online play hardly slow this juggernaut of amusement down. This is an absurdly hilarious romp you won't soon forget. Full Review


GameTrailers	August 27, 2008 - Good - It isn't too often that you see a good retro-themed game hit the market, and Castle Crashers is just that. Full Review


Ryan Davis Giant Bomb	September 3, 2008 - Good - Despite [its] problems, and the game's higher-than-average $15 price tag, I thoroughly enjoyed Castle Crashers, though they also keep me from recommending the game as wholeheartedly as I'd like to. Full Review


Matthew Pellett GamesRadar	August 23, 2008 - Mediocre - The magnificent presentation may fool you into thinking The Behemoth has crafted a well-polished gem, but the flashy exterior masks a thoroughly flimsy game making the exorbitant price hard to swallow. Full Review
