Wow, that's pretty sucky... I'm gonna get it for the single-player game regardless (please PLEASE tell me that's not broken in any major way?) but I hope they fix that soon, the lag shown in the video was pretty unacceptable...

This has be brought up on the official Xbox forums, and is apparently being looked into, just so you know.

It really is a mess. I can't even fathom the meaning of having "Quality control", when messes like this make it through. And from a big-time publisher like Namco Bandai.....

Somehow the comments the N+ guys had rings more true each day.

They should stick to bringing classic Mega Drive/Genesis games back; Toejam & Earl anyone? Road Rash?

Uh the reviewer is a dumbass with something against Mr. Driller, too hard for him perhaps? The guy he was PLAYING against was from JAPAN. Ok, I dont know about you but if the HOST of a game is from a country another world away.. uh.. there WILL be lag. EVERYONE (I would have hoped) knows this. Next time join a game hosted by someone close to home before bashing a game.

Even if the host in the other side of the world (hes not another world away), there shouldnt be that kind of lag that lets you travel back in time.

I've played with people in Japan plenty of times on XBL without lag, the only time you should lag when playing with people overseas is with Wi-Fi based online play, that's why the Wii's online lags when playing with people in Japan

There is usually an acceptable amount of lag online, but what is happening in this situation is not acceptable in the least.

Let's say (just for grins) that I played more games than just the ones seen in the video. Let's also say that I played some games with people that don't come from Japan and those games were laggy disasters as well. See where I'm going with this?

Besides, I've played games with people from other countries before without problems. There are people from the UK playing COD4 all the time and I didn't have any problems playing with them yesterday.

I used to play Ridge Racer 6 online with almost exclusively Japanese opponents... No lag to speak of.

@Richard

I was actually having problems with Xbox Live in general today. Friends list not loading, friends signing in and out over and over again and screens taking forever to load so maybe it was just an xbox live issue and not the game....Maybe.

I downloaded the Trial, had fun and actually thought about wasting my Rock Band MS Points on it.

Epic Fail.

This doesn't surprise me at all after what I experienced trying to play online multiplayer in Brain Challenge. As soon as you'd start a match with four players, you'd be kicked off with a "failed to connect" error.
