Who has it? I do, and I love it. :D

I was a huge fan of the original, even though I always found it supremely difficult to get anywhere near two million points. The new multiplier system seems to makes it easier to get a much higher score, so of course other people are going to get at least 10 times as much as I will. :)

The multiplayer is really fun, too, with the co-op and competitive game modes. It is local multiplayer only, but thats at least all I could have hoped for. Actually I think the friend leaderboards kind of make up for it. Whenever you are playing, the next highest friend score is always in the top right corner of the screen giving you something to always shoot for.

Speaking of which, if you have this game, then please add me as a friend on Xbox Live. I need people to compete with! :) My gamertag is 'xfg sunny'.

I've been home sick from work the last two days or so and i've had it longer then that and i fricken love it.

Having my friends name in the corner trying to beat their score is so sweet and simple...

I already have a good chunk of the achievements for it...while the first i had maybe 3?

its alot funner this time around.

Agreed, the friend leaderboard is pure genius.

Hours of my life mysteriously disappeared just from that "one more go I can beat their score" feeling.

It's epic the whole to and fro of beating a friend's score only to see them win it back a few hours later

I highly recommend picking this one up if you have a 360

Me and my brother just started playing it today. Great fun, especially the co-op parts. One thing I'm kind of down on is that the score is so easy to get ridiculously high scores. I'll add you guys, my gamertag is RunJun.

I'd considered passing on this, since I figured the first one was enough for me. I'm glad I went ahead and bought it. This game is a great improvement over the original. I'll be playing this one for years, I bet.

If you don't know already, try pressing Right bumper and the back button at the same time when playing for a cool little surprise

Those are the two I need also. I keep getting to the last level of sequence and losing....very frustrating.
