I got my wi-fi adaptor today and Downloaded a couple of demos from Xbox Live.  I thought I would be raving about The Dishwasher right now, but I'm still playing Castle Crashers.  How to describe it?  Bloody brawler with RPG elements, absurd humor, great boss fights(so far), and a hell of a lot of fun.

I haven't tried MP yet, but it's supposed to support up to four player online.  I'd love to try out the full game with you guys.

I miss these arcade-like brawlers.  Remember Double Dragon? Bad Dudes?  Golden Axe? TMNT?  It reminds me of all of those, except with crisper graphics and a greater variety of weapons.You can level up, learn more magic, gain new weapons and moves.  The two bosses that I fought were very fun and challenging.  You're given points to allocate however you wish.  Level up to become a fighting machine, increase your strength, damage you give or magic gauge.

Unfortunately, I had the demo so that's as far as I got. I will have to give more impressions later. So, have you tried it yet? If you have LIVE download the demo NOW!

No, I did not!

It sounds fun.

OMG!! It's so much better than I thought. So many weapons, with a lot of different gameplay variety.  I haven't even scratched the surface yet. There seems to be huge number of locations. The humor is topnotch. I bear shat himself when he saw me. Nyaa

I haven't been able to play online yet.  Those douchebags don't want to play with me since I'm such a low level. JustPlainLucas said he would play later, so I can give some online impressions tomorrow.  This game is meant for MP.  I don't know how high the cap is for leveling up, but I did see one guy with a level of 256.  I'm just at level 7.

You can find an animal orb that makes an animal tag along with you.  When they tag along, they enhance you or provide a bonus.  They remind me of Chaos from Sonic.

Damn I love scrolling beat em ups. It sounds good. I would get this, if I had a wi fi adaptor, hard drive and xbl.

Ah...

Yeah I tried it and it is pretty awesome. I still need to pick it up one of these days. I'll be getting a bunch of MS points soon to grab Banjo-Tooie so I may grab CC as well.

Ok, think River City Ransom: Medieval Times.  You can branch off into different paths, though you do have to return back to some that you may have skipped.  There are shops to buy weapons and health and ways to strengthen yourself. It Definitely has a RCR feel. Come on guys, get this.
