It really bugs me... the backs of Xbox games are sooooo nice and informative with those little feature-graph things.
But WHY can't they clearly state if a game is multiplayer ONLY between two xboxes? I've had more than a few mad customers because the box said 1-4 (or whatever) players but it turned out not to be on the same xbox.

:angry: ...OutRun 2... ...Full Spectrum Warrior... :angry:
I don't think a box should even get the Live Band unless it has Multiplayer or Content Download... Live Aware especially caused a bit of trouble when Chronicles of Riddick lacked multiplayer, same with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Metal Slug 3. Midway Arcade Treasures 2 doesn't even mention the Leaderbords feature on the box...

Yeah, it's a bit confusing.
On PoP:SoT it sayes Live and on the back of the box says "online friends" Thats not quite multiplayer and more on the lines of whats the point. Gamefaqs.com is faster if thats what your trying to do.

Yeah, Fable was "live aware" too. And that caused one HELL of a lot of confusion considering the host of online features that Molyneux swore would be in the game.
