Excellent - The astounding visuals, classic gameplay, obscure humor and hours of beat-em-up action make this worth every one of your 1200 points.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
