    If there is anywhere that the game shines, it's in play value. 150 levels is nothing to scoff at.

    Frustrating at times but mostly enjoyable, and the content to price ratio is hard to argue with.

    It just lacks that bit of variety and any sort of multiplayer that would push it right into recommended territory.

    With access to online leaderboards and some great puzzles thrown into the mix, Boulder Dash-XL makes a welcome return to the XBox 360. The only issue with the game is that the new graphics seem a little complex as opposed to the original game.

    It's a simple game, reminiscent of a simpler time. Minus the quarters.

    Boulder Dash-XL offers up plenty of diamond-mining action, but not all of it is up to the standard set by the original game in the '80s.

    Unfortunately, the lack of intuitive physics is the real killer.
