    So i've been thinking about getting some microsoft points to purchase an XBLA game, but im torn between this game and castle crashers
    at this point the only reason i would buy castle crashers would be for my friend because he owns the game, but i dont love the feel the gameplay, or the way it handles character progression
    i like the way deathspank played in the demo, but lately i've been wondering about the length and the replay value, though i feel like i still might be willing to play deathspank again after i buy it, just for fun, 
     
    so what i think i am asking, is there any huge reason to buy castle crashers, or any huge reason not to buy deathspank?

    If you have friends you own Castle Crashers and are willing to play it then I'd get that. 
     
    I really liked Deathspank though and feel like it would be a worthy purchase too. So really multiplayer is the deciding factor.  

     If multiplayer means nothing to you then Deathspank.

    If you don't like how Castle Crashers feels and it's level progression, then there is no reason to get the game.
     
    Death Spank can last 8 hours.  If you try to do everything and are not in a rush, you can definitely surpass the 8 hours.  If you only stick the main campaign and rush through everything, the game will last 5 hours at most.

    And despite how short Deathspank was it's still worth it. Plus there is still hope of DLC which would be awesome.

    Yeah, 800 points would have been much better. I still think one day i might play though again though. I didn't even use all the different attacks. Also yeah, deff the easiest S-rank I ever got.

    What really makes me mad. Is that is right in the info says " 15 hours of gameplay" I feel that is close to false advertisement.

    @The_Laughing_Man: No chance it had 15 hours. I did absolutely everything in that game and it felt like i could have beat it in like 8 or less.

    I wrote EA an email stating I am not happy. And they said game length it related to gameplay mechanics.....

    How is DeathSpank short? It's 15 bucks and about 8 hours. Some $60 games aren't that long.

    Cause we where told over and over its a 15 hour game. It also has no replay value because you can get all achivments in one run.

    I think its short for a DL game for 15 bucks. 10 would have been a perfect charge for this.

     Eh, I think it's got a lot of content for it's price, honestly. I'd be scared to see what you'd think of a game like God of War 3 or Alan Wake, which is 8-10 and 60 bucks.

    See, that has nothing to do with length whatsoever.
     
    You just thought DeathSpank was bad?

    Thats what she said!
     
    So is it worth it to put pants on, drive to the store, get a points card, come back, and spend 1200 space bucks on it?
