    Tempted, but 1200 seems like a bit too much. 800, definitely.

    Exactly my thoughts.  I want to buy it big time since I really enjoyed the old game but that 1200 price tag seems high.  I don't know why developers can't understand that a game like this comes a live and becomes worth buying when lots of people own it.  It has 8 player online but they won't give it for a price that a massive amount of people would pay for it.  If I spend 1200 and not many people playing it online i'm going to be pissed.

    Yes, and it's shit tons of fun. Arcade racers own, I don't know what the fuck the dude from IGN was talking about, rating this a 5.5. Reviews on Metacritic seem to disagree with him. Anyways, I thought this was worth more of my $15 than Limbo...

    Yes, I did actually and it's awesome. 
     
    I am also a person who used to play the shit out of it on the n64. And this is just as awesome if not better in some ways.

    If Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann gives it a 4/5 or higher I'll probably pick it up. Probably going to get all the summer of arcade honestly, even though there are a variety of reasons why I shouldn't.

    It's a great game, but for whatever reason people don't seem into racing games as much these days.  It's a gamer's game, it's definitely not for people who play games for story, art, or even really in-game unlocks.

    I LOVED the first one... I really want to play this one.  Sadly at the moment I do not have the spare cash, and I always find myself ignoring the XBLA games I do buy a month later.  I don't think it's worth it to me.

    I think I'll buy it. I was on the fence because I worried it would just be too much like the original and as someone who has his Dreamcast plugged in, I saw no point in repurchasing the game. I played the trial earlier to day though and loved it. It's actually really nice looking graphically for an XBLA game and they added some cool new stuff that wasn't in the original, like a drafting mechanic. I also love the fact that they kept some of the ridiculousness in the things that the announcer says.

    The demo is quite "beefy" to be honest. You can play all the modes and if you complete them all, you can try out a second track. Also, you get 10 minutes of XBL online and can get the opportunity to race on maybe two more of the tracks. 
     
    Still, 1200 MSP is too high for somebody who isn't into the Hydro Thunder games. Maybe if it goes on sale, I might pick it up then.

    Too niche.  Too pricey.  If it wasn't for this game I'd consider buying all of Summer of Arcade for the 1200pt rebate.

    True and untrue. I love racing games, especially arcade ones. But I also love games with depth and story. I totally get what your saying though, most people are just interested in what everyone else is interested in. And right now those interests are definitely not racing games.

    Loved the original, and loved the trail version.
    But 1,200 is too much.

    O.k. so the latest if anyone is interested.  Today I free up what I think its 435mb download the trial and start it up and notice very nicely they give you 10 minutes to play actual Xbox Live multiplayer.  I start a 1 player game fly around enjoy it felt enough like the old Dreamcast game I use to play, then I decide to fire up a multiplayer game join with 7 other player and start racing race after race till my 10 minutes are up, after that 10 minutes I just had to choke up the 1200 points and buy it.  IMO 8 tracks that seem really fun an imaginative, its worth it if you enjoy old school arcade racers.  (also special note the tracks are longer then the old game.)
     
    I don't like that these XBLA games seem to go up another $5 every year but at least the quality seems to be going up to, at least I say that with this one.

    I loved the hell out of Hydro Thunder on the Dreamcast, so buying Hurricane was a no-brainer for me.  It's still a really fun arcade racer with solid netcode.
