Obviously this is a ressurected thread, so I am curious. Are the servers for this game even active anymore?
That's what I'd like to know. I went to play this game in sometime in December, and I naturally got the "no response from master server" message for 2 days in a row, indicating that Sega abandoned the servers, which they said they were going to do.
Have any of you been able to connect since then?
As for the game itself, it really isn't anything remarkable offline, but take that baby online, and it's a whole different story: It's a highly addictive and fun game online, and its simplicity only adds to the enjoyment. I played the game for about 4 hours straight the night I bought it, and my friends were watching, we were laughing the entire time. Highly recommended if you can get online with your DC and the servers are back up.
I honestly think that the online DC structure helped somewhat in the formation of Xbox Live, and the voice chat in this game is a good indication. It worked quite well, although only 1 person could talk at a time, it helped add another dimension to the game...
