Newly released today to a service we all know by the name of the Xbox Live Arcade, is Namco's classic driller game that has been made over into Mr. Driller Online. And, as the name suggests, it's Xbox Live enabled and ready for multiplayer action. So far, after giving the trial game a whirl, the only thing we can't figure out is whether the game's constant drilling sound is giving us head pains or if the game's bright, cheerful and Easter egg inspired artwork is the cause. Yeah ... it's probably the art. Give Mr. Driller Online a trial today to see if deserves your 800 Microsoft points purchase, acceptance and love.Newly released today to a service we all know by the name of the Xbox Live Arcade, is Namco's classic driller game that has been made over into Mr. Driller Online.

Don't diss Driller. Driller is god. You love the drilling sounds and neon pastel palette. You want more of both. Say it. SAY IT!

I'm on the fense with this game.
Its got pretty colors and a nifty sound track and the gameplay is decent but for the most part mindless. All you gotta do is aim down and repeatidly hit the A button. No other buttons are used just the A button.
I don't think its work 800 ms, I'd get it for 400 but thats it, with my existing puzzle Libary of Poker Smash, Astro Pop, Puzzle Quest, Zuma and Puzzle Fighter this game is unneeded.
Please stop shoving puzzle games down our throats ms while you elect to pass on games that would be great for the arcade.
Someone at ms needs to be fired.

First I thought it was a improved version of Dig dug with a different name but when I play it I realize it wasn't.
The demo reminds me of some Super Mario world levels.Is hard to tell if it's bad or good,is quite addctive but still don't imagine how that game could be played online.

ccc - I don't know if you're basing this off the demo or not (which I presume would be one of the first levels) but trust me, you CAN'T get away with doing that on the intermediate levels and upwards. I agree that perhaps 800 MS points for this is a little cheeky but it's definitely not 'for the most part mindless'
