Crashed Castle Crashers

So as of yesterday, there’s good news, and there’s bad news.

The good news is, Castle Crashers is finally available on Xbox Live Arcade. Hooray!

The bad news is, the highly-touted online component keeps crashing.

So far I’ve managed one round of online co-op, and even then, it wasn’t long before my character froze and I had to pull out. Since then, games won’t connect, and even worse, my Xbox 360 has been (ironically) crashing when attempting to load an Xbox Live game.

Same goes for our very own Reverend Anthony, who has been having an awful time keeping a game going, and the Internet at large is also reporting problems. Apparently overseas connections have it the worst, too. It’s safe to say that Castle Crashers has issues, son. — Destructoid

On the upside, local co-op still works, and the guys at Behemoth are aware of the situation and claim they’re working on it, leaving the above illustrated note to reassure us.
