For the longest time, I had heard of this game and refused to play it due to its basic appearance.  However, once I picked it up, it became very hard to put down.  I even convinced a few friends to buy it, so we could play online together.  This game costs 1200 Microsoft points, which is equivalent to $15.  The average time spent playing this game varies. If I had to guess, I would say it is an 8 hour long game, not including replay value.  I would recommend this game to anybody who isn’t a “video game master,” because it is simple, easy to learn, never frustrating, and a good source of entertainment.  The only downside I see to this game is that it is a little bit vulgar on occasion.  However, the vulgarity tends to come off as humorous, especially while playing with friends.  Castle Crashers is a great game, and I highly advise anybody with a PlayStation or XBOX to give it a shot.
