    For anyone who has bought the game...

    Is there a gamma adjustment on the display settings (locked on the trial version)? This is the only 360 game I've ever seen which is just flat out too dark.

    I had thought about buying it, but after seeing the bright stages look like they were taking place during the waning hours of evening and the dark stages look completely black, I decided to wait until I can get an answer.

    10 bucks says they're going to nickel and dime us for missions. Maybe online, too.

    I don't know what you people expect for $10, it's cheap and it's a fantastic arcade classic that never looked better.

    What I find interesting is that as of now, according to the poll, no one that doesn't have the Dreamcast version is going to buy the XBLA version.

    I played the demo last night. The first thing you notice is it looks a lot better than the DC version...and I'm talking about a DC connected to an LCD via VGA hookups. Still, I don't plan on purchasing it. SCIV will be here in a few weeks anyway.

    At least as much as the Dreamcast version (ie the missions.) Online play would be nice, considering I have $5 ports of early 80s arcade games that offer as much (assuming I can find someone online actually wanting to play Time Pilot or whatever.) If you're happy with it, great. I find this completely underwhelming. It's the kind of thing you tack onto Soul Calibur IV as a bonus, not the kind of thing you charge an additional $10 for.

    Considering you can get the DC version for like $10 shipped on eBay...no.

    I don't have Xbox Live, which makes this an easy choice for me.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    If there is online in the Xbox Live arcade one, then yes, if not, HELL NAH!

    Well, then its an easy choice for you. There isn't live online play in the game.

    If you are into achievements, its a doable 200/200.

    I can't believe that they didn't include online play, it seems like such a cop out. Add that to the fact that they took out Mission mode and it's a no buy for me.
