Woo!! I loved this game on NewGrounds. This will [most likely] be a must buy.

Agreed DLitch - I will be cashing in some MS points on this one. If anyone wants to try an old school version (not HD) check out the old game here.

How are the four player mini-games?

[Wondermonkey]

Wow, listening to Major's podcast this week it really sounds like they are going to be supporting this release for a while.

I played a bunch of this in November and it was fun. The graphics were really pretty sweet too.

Oooooh! Bright colors! I'm sold!!

[Fragmintz]

The Hominid is such a funny character! I love the head biting moves - which is one of the achievements.

No co-op? That's disappointing. Not enough to prevent purchase, but come on.

[Wondermonkey]

I think it is co-op isn't it? Those pics look like they are co-op...

Multiplayer modes enable two players locally in the main game and up to four players offline or on Xbox Live in Mini-games.

So no co-op over Live! in the Campaign.

[Wondermonkey]

Hmm, they should really clarify that in the product description because when they just say "online co-op" it's sort of misleading.

[Fragmintz]

I'll still buy it - I think there aren't enough 2 person split screen games out there. It is a little disappointing that my buddy can't jump into GOW with me and clear levels when he is sitting on my couch.

Myhrr? Really! How?

In any case, I downloaded this little P-didy this morning and it is AWESOME! I love this game, and see it sucking away many hours of my life. Between this, Crackdown, Saints Row, GOW Ranked Achievements, and my soon to be shipped Viva Pinata, I'll need to either check myself into rehab or take a long vacation from work.

[Jon Liu]

I downloaded this one. Man, it's harder than I thought it would be! I died so many times! I actually had to start over to beat the first level (1-1), which is the training level!!! hahaha

Anyway, I can see how this one will be addicting!

[Fragmintz]

Yeah - this game is a biznatch of a challenge. But if you think this is hard shoot over to the old skool flash title. It is seriously hard trying to do all that jumping, shooting, slashing and head biting using the key board.

[D_Litch]

I'll be getting this one Friday. It is just as addicting and challenging as it was on PC.
