Patch for Mr. Driller Online by end of May
Namco has told IGN that a patch for Mr. Driller Online (which should currently just be called Mr. Driller) is coming by the end of this month. When the game released in early April the online feature was fundamentally broken, as is evidenced by the video from X3F we've placed after the break.
As for the game's less-than-HD quality presentation? Don't expect a patch for that. The fix is pretty much designed to allow the game to keep the Online portion of its name without becoming a case of consumer fraud.

No. They fucked this one up into oblivion. Oops.

Talk about a disappointment. It's pretty sad that the Dreamcast Mr. Driller character looks better than the Xbox 360 one.

Had a similar experience. Tried the demo, then booted an older game of the series ("Mr. Driller Drill Land", GC, NTSC/J) and didn't notice much difference.
Did I mention that this older game has 5 modes and a ton more variety?

I care!
I bought this on release foolishly, mainly to play the damn thing online. I hope it really does get fixed!

I am a big fan of the Mr. Driller series and it would be nice if I could play this online as the name would suggest.

This is why I never buy XBLA games. When MS allows this kind of half-assed approach from developers, then why should I give them my money?
