Lode Runner

« I think the old-school gameplay shines through in its new packaging. And for about a quarter of the price of a regular retail release, it’s still a good deal in a trying economy. »

« All of these innovations along with the tons of single-player, cooperative, and competitive modes make this the best and most complete Lode Runner ever. »

« Retro fans and new gamers will be delighted with this great remake. Well worth downloading, although the price is high. »

« One of my favourite Xbox LIVE Arcade titles to date and one I will be playing for a while to come. »

« The 80's return in style with this fantastic remake. Lode Runner strikes back with new graphics and fluid controls. The game is beefy enough to warrant the price tag, and polished enough to warrant our praise. »

« Lode Runner functions as an excellent addition to a venerable franchise, updating the original game to today’s standards – the game isn’t necessarily a reinvention, but the quality of the source material more than makes up for it. »

« The game looks the part, is fun to play, extremely challenging, and offers a ton of bang for you buck. »

« It's a very addictive and frustrating game that had me going just one more attempt, even though I was getting my ass kicked on many occasions. Good graphics for this genre that gives the player a twist to the original incarnation of Lode Runner! »

« This is easily one of the less competent entries in the series. Lode Runner: The Legend Returns/Mad Monk's Revenge and Lode Runner 2 are both still vastly superior to this title, and they are far older. This entry has many more moments that feel cheap, annoying and unfair compared to those games. The player should be slightly quicker than the monks, but this game made enemy movement a bit too fast for some reason. One other flaw is that the level design is overall significantly inferior to the older games mentioned above. »
