I was put off by the slow down and the general sloppiness of the controls. I'm spoiled though having the actual game on my MVS... Good luck finding players, the XBL community can be kind of fickle, older games will always struggle to get players.

Yeah, some games you just have to know someone who has it to get an online session going. (Hint: me) I had the original Xbox release of the game and played it to death back then. I also have the XBLA release, but never played it much. I could definitely use a partner to go after the achievements with.

I have it and I think it plays just fine. There is one problem I have with it though, which can really be said about any retro-game on XBLA: I keep wanting to use the D-Pad since it's a classic style game, however we all know how incredibly crappy the 360's D-Pad is. So sometimes I'd die a cheap death because the D-Pad didn't respond right and I'd be reminded that I have to use the thumbstick instead.
