Considering a purchase...
I completely missed this game, however long ago it came out.

I've been topping off my arcade collection over the last 2 weeks with a bit of disposable income, and trying out various trials to see which I may be interested in.

The demo for this seems really fun. I've read many reviews, and have heard mostly negative feedback about it, but I can't shake the feeling that it seems like it'd be a fun little multiplayer title and may even provide a few hours of solo fun. The gameplay is quick and easy to pickup, and plays like a fun vs. mode of Pac Man.

For a $5 price tag, I wouldn't even ask for opinions, I'd just get it and hope for the best. For $10...well, I don't mind spending the few dollars on it, but I'd like some opinions from those who own it, as I have played a few arcade games where I thought from the trial "eh its not the best game in the world, but it's worth $10", and then I bought it and was severely disappointed w/ the full title (Arkadian Warriors, I'm looking at you).

So...is this game worth the purchase?

Thanks for any info.


Happy Holidays!

Ah, I apologize. I came to this forum quickly to post this, and didn't bother to look and notice there's an identical topic toward the bottom of the page...

If anyone wants to respond, I'll still appreciate it--I apologize for the identical post however.

Happy Holidays!

Depends what you like.  I bought this and regret it.  It is one of the worst games on XBLA in my estimation.

I think its a fair game.  It's basically a beefed up, power-up, 3d version of pacman.  Only real difference is there are no ghosts chasing you and you are a cube.

Zombies everywhere, zombies everywhere, zombies everywhere. They're coming for your brains and it's too late to change.

I've decided to pass on this one.

While it seems fun for a bit, after playing the trial three times I'm already pretty bored with it. The reviews mention a real lack of single player value, and since I understand the game is completely dead online it doesn't seem like I'd really get much out of this. Throw in Xbox Live play required achievements...meh, pass.


Happy Holidays!

This game is great. It's similar to pacman games where you collect all gold balls under par time. The game is great and worth to buy. Download a demo first. The online mode is extremely laggy unless you play someone in your same location. Good luck.

i wouldnt suggest this to anyone.  it is insanely frustrating in single player at times and there is no online players.
