This game kicks ass. I played the demo tonight and went ahead and purchased it. I am using the Hori arcade stick and it responds very well with this. It feels like a true arcade. If anyone want to play, then let me know.

Level 36 Blue Knight here. Finished the game last night, and I'm hoping to start Insane Mode later.

And say no to glitching!

Level up glitch

1. find a boomerang

2. find and equip Giraffey

3. Go to the Catfish boss stage

Move slightly underneath the Catfish Boss and charge your boomerang. Do this while he is puking up a hairball. Let the hairball hit the ship, btw. After he pukes, toss the charged boomerang, so it will go behind the Catfish. Hold block, so he cannot knock you off your float. The boomerang will come back and stick into his back. Let the experience points stack up. This glitch can also be used against the Bat Boss, too.

I used the glitch when I was 95% into the game, so I could have an easier time with the arena stages. Which unlocks characters. My Green Knight is at level 53.

Btw, I read about a charged magic jump by holding RT and pushing A. Cannot get it to work. Any suggestions?

The game is awesome, I was at my mates and they the demo on, We clubbed up, got it, and we've been razzing multiplayer ever since. Still Can't figure out how to kill the last boss tho (not asking for a solution there).

But yeah, Awesome.

Man, the last boss is something else. Several stages. Just when you think he is down, he gets right back up and changes form. Awesome and very vulgar game. :D Best summer for XBL arcade games. Loved the sh!tting owl.

Yep, when the last boss turned in to the treasure chest, I said to my friend, "Finally, we got hi--OH ****!!" :lol:

And the XBLA train keeps rolling. We get Duke Nukem 3D with full online support and MegaMan 9 this month :hyper:
