Anyone play Arkadian Warriors yet ? I heard its a nice looking game, but the gameplay/controls are horrible. I am going to try to check it out this weekend.

I played the trial last night. I didn't think the gameplay/controls were horrible. Not as tight as the controls for Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on the original Xbox. But not horrible either.

The lack of physical interaction/feedback from the enemies really kills the game big time. Just run around and flail away with your sword. You could pretty much run through enemies as you attack and it just feels cheap. Too bad as a 4+ player online co-op dungeon crawler seems like a natural for xbla.



Gripshift isn't too bad. Sort of Trackmania-ish. I think I could get 10 bucks worth of entertainment from that game.

Yep. That was my main beef with it. You can just run around in circles like a moron and never get hit while tapping the A button.
