Castle Crashers

A fantastic little game similar to Alien Hominid.
Its basically a side scroller fighter set in medieval fantasy worlds.
You have a Knight who ahs to rescue the princesses (very familiar) but its tongue in cheek humour and funny set pieces really make it very enjoyable.

Only thing is its very hard and is best played with 2-4 people, but coz the game was unplayable on release in co-op it dropped off peoples radar.
A fantastic game and though I havent completed it I must be over half way adn haev enjoyed what I've played.

I really like the RPG elements of levelling up and the buttons are simple and efficient and not to simple to make it boring.
The graphics are pretty good for an arcade game and the looks are cartoony and fit its comical stance.

In all I give it a very good 8/10.
It may have been more but the co-op has been broken. And the game feels a little unbalanced and too difficult for just 1 person to play...
