    My enthusiasm for the XBLA release was initially tempered by busted online play, which took months to correct, but the PSN version luckily lacks significant issues. Lag occasionally pops up, and I've encountered a couple of issues connecting to matches, but by and large, it works -- and aside from having three friends in your living room, playing online is the best way to experience Castle Crashers.

    It's a great game that I'm happy PS3 owners will now have a chance to play, and I look forward to playing through the co-op adventure mode a few more times in the near future.

    Castle Crashers made a brilliant transition to the PS3, although it took its fine time to flop onto our hard drives.

    While it would've been nice for The Behemoth to top the PSN port of Castle Crashers off with more bonus content and perhaps even a more lenient difficulty setting, it's worth downloading.

    If you never experienced the Xbox 360 version, or you happen to have more friends on your PSN list, Castle Crashers is a great game though you might want to wait for a multiplayer patch before investing.

    Fit-to-bursting with fun, Castle Crashers is a rare PSN treat. [Jan 2011, p.96]

    A delightful visual style and compulsively playable beat-'em-up action make Castle Crashers an invigorating breath of fresh air in a classic genre.

I love the quirky art design with some hilarious moments, and the RPG elements fit in perfectly with the beat 'em up style of the game. I haven't beaten Castle Crashers yet, but so far I am having a blast. The game is insane and especially fun if you get some friends together to play with you. If you're a fan of beat 'em up-style games, then I cannot recommend Castle Crashers more, especially at its incredibly low price point of $14.99.… Expand
