I've used the SF4 Mad Catz stick and I do occasionally miss corners still... not sure if that's my failing reactions @ speed 50, or the game not keeping up with me!

Maybe the best way to play the game would be with a 4-way stick, like the original arcade game (i.e. only up, down, left and right inputs)?

Haven't tried myself with the arcade stick but I think a few previous highscore videos from the original Xbox game on YouTube were gotten with the standard 360 pad.

What's the easiest way to get the achievement for completing the game with all visuals? Do you just need to complete the 5 minute challenge in each visual mode? Or do you have to unlock and play all maps?

I don't normally disagree with review scores, but 10/10 for this is plain wrong.

It should clearly be 12/10

10/10 might be a bit strong but on the basis of a few hours play, this game is great.

Amazing gameplay distilled into its purest form

Just complete the 5 minute challenge in each visual mode. No need to play on every map.

I could really only recommend this to people who:

a) Like video games
b) Dislike video games, but like fun
c) Dislike video games and fun, but are conscious.

Will get the final achievement later on then. It was much too easy to get them all... for anyone who gets motivation to complete a game from gamerscore, I think the achievements could have been better.

Ok, this is bloody excellent! Sugar rush gaming at it's best.

I love this, but I clearly suck; I cannot get the 1,000,000 points in 5 minutes of score attack achievement that y'all find such a trifle.

You don't even need to do that, just go through the short time trials on Championship II cycling through the visuals.

Got it.

This is a classic, but the achievements could do with being a bit more challenging, it's true. That's 200/200G in around an hour of play.

Bought and all achievements done in a couple of hours... and I've only just scratched the surface!! What an awesome game!

It feels great when you're 'in the zone'. It's been a while since I've played a game that lets me do that.

What a great, great game. No-one on my XBL friends list is playing it, though, so my leaderboard is depressingly empty. GT is Kutkh if anyone wants a target to hit/easily surpass.

I definitely see the quality and fun to be found in this, but I already have CE, and I haven't consistently played that for a long time. It's just not a game I find essential, or that interesting, long term.

I'm not quite sure what I think of the game. There's no doubt it's very good, but I think at this stage I might still prefer the original C.E. It was a purer game in many ways; I think with this sequel they've thrown tons at the gamer and sometimes it's a little too much.

Maybe I need to play it more though.

What a great game.Took a while for the whole meta game idea to drop.Then I played it until 4am

Love the skins and the music.
Theres just over 20k on the xbla leaderboards,and it's easy to progress.

I'm playing it, unless you've removed me from your friendslist!

This game makes me want to smoke the reefer. Seems apt for the occasion.

I imagine a jazz cigarette would enhance the experience.

Right on man. I would definitely advocate this game to anyone that's just picked up a nice bit of green.

Stunning game. I think when the dust settles on this generation XBLA will be my favourite thing about it.

I have to admit.I was hammering the weed last night.Drinking coke and eating peanuts at 4 this morning really helped.
Got up at 9 feeling like I'd had a wild night in an Amsterdam arcade.

The best score attack game since Space Giraffe?

Great game this. I just managed to sneak into the top 500 on Highway by shaving seconds of my short time attack times, I was 414th out of c.18k when I switched the 360 off. I've got a horrible feeling I might get obsessed with Highway. More-ish like crack.

I'm LuckyJimboUK on XBL if anyone wants to populate their leaderboards, only a couple of people on my friends list are playing this so it'd be nice to have a few more.

Edit- peaked at 204th on Highway, I really don't think I can do any better though.

Superb game. I played CE to death. It's one of the few high score games that clicked with me.

Only played once and beat at least 3 people on my FL. SUCK IT!! Or something ..

Yeah I love this game but has anyone unlocked a proper free score mode? I've got all the achievements, most of the way through each section but would be nice to know if there's a way of playing beyond 10 minute stretches.
