Yeah I was looking forward to it for something different. It's definitely average and even though it has online play it got boring very fast. The graphics are pretty shitty and even though it's an improvement in the sense of controls, I still don't think RTS games belong on consoles.

Yeah I should have known... bought FIFA too play my mate online, buggy as!

Every time we want to play a game, the person joining the match has to go through the entire game reloading from the very start, once at the title screen loading the game settings and then joining EA servers, this happens every time we want to plat a match. Takes about 2-3mins to start a match.

Is it that hard to have a rematch option at the end of the game?

Also the inconsistent lag, completely smooth to one player, and laggy as to another!

I should have just waited for PES.

The street fighter ones look alright. But do I really want to spend more money or what really amounts to useless crap?

Hope its better than Frogger :P

They should release these crappy arcade 'classics' in packs of 4-5 games. That would be a lot fairer imho..

Got Galaga, now I need an arcade stick.

Are there any about for the 360 ?

I seem to remember some people had a DOA stick, but I've never seen them.

Yeah JB-Hifi have them for around the $115 mark.
I don't think they're sold anywhere else.

No worries :up:
Good quality stick, but I returned mine since I discovered that after having a desire to buy an arcade stick for my home consoles for ages and ages, I really suck with them... :cry:

The only other thing is that they aren't wireless which would be nice but not a massive issue.

Yeah, it's pretty crappy firing on the controller.

Might be worth getting if you're considering SF2 as well.

It does suck the doa stick isn't wireless, besides that it's a quality stick, after al it's a hori and they make some fine arcade sticks. I haven't really used mine much to be honest, doa plays just as well with the pad. But it's gonna be essential for sf2 when it hits live arcade. Also I'm keen to see some snk titles on live arcade in the future. Fingers crossed.

Rang my JB Hifi and they said "no we've never had an arcade stick for the 360"

I'm pretty sure Lestat got his from this store (could be wrong).

Why is retail so frustrating ? When I suggested that perhaps there was a DOA themed stick for the 360 they gave me the "you don't know what you're talking about" attitude :roll:
