Boy, what a low score. I was quite looking forward to this. Anyone going to buy this one regardless? You can't go wrong for the low RRP.

I got it and its fun online and for 20 bucks, its well worth it.. I had a blast with this, sadly, there aren't a ton of people online, but its great fun and shouldn't be overlooked.

Like the above poster said. Great game for $20. I actually got mine for $15 at EB. But, I am a huge Mad fan though.

I read a couple of reviews on it, and the average score seemed to be around 6-7. Even teamxbox.com gave it a 6.4, and theyre an affiliate/owned by Ign.
Xbox is nice and all, but anyone know how the PS2 version plays ? i.e frame rate, same modes, etc? I havent been able to find any reviews on it :/

If this game was 50 bucks, there would be a lot of people complaining. But as a released budget title? I got my 20 bucks worth.. It's great, I like the updated feel of the game, and the classic mode is great. I don't even have LIVE and I still think I got my 20 dollars worth...
EDIT: I have the Xbox version

I will pick it up if there is a nice online mode, seems like a great idea to add to this game :)

I ended up trading my copy in this week...I agree with the review, to be honest. I didn't feel like the game translated well into 3D, mostly because of how tedious and over-complicated the game has become. Even in classic, 5-room mode with TWO items to find, no one I was playing with could actually win. No real distinction between the rooms left us confused and forgetful as to what safes were trapped, which one's weren't, and which ones had been recently checked. Not being able to remember what was going on and having to work far too hard to accomplish the otherwise simple tasks just sucked a lot of the fun out of it for me. Not a bad game, and you could do far worse for $20, but one could also do much, much better.
