I can't believe I missed this gem for 360. I recently got a 4000 MS point card and decided to bite on the game. For 400 points, I think it's the best value on XBLA. Has the original game in full, plus 128 completely new and addictive levels (completely new and gorgeous visuals), and manic co-op online and offline. This game will kick your ass and it's classic arcade fun. More XBLA games should be like this: cheap and a lot of value, with simple but addictive gameplay.

New:

Once you get to level 10ish and see how the entire screen is filled with enemies, you'll learn to love the game

Pretty fun game. Got it about a month ago but haven't really gotten into it. The demo sucked though, it was like the first 2-3 levels? Boring. Devs needs to look at something like the Mutant Storm Reloaded demo and copy that. Multiple difficulties with 7-10 stages taken from throughout the game to show how intense it is. I had the demo sitting on my 360 since the game came out and I only came to purchase it last month only cause I hadn't bought a game in a while. The demo almost killed my interest

And I can never find anyone online for Jetpac.

Hey wasn't this game in DK64 in one of those little arcade thingies? I remember it being extremely hard.

Yeah, slightly disappointing but I play so much co-op with younger siblings it's hard to care. Plus 128 levels? Damn, I applaud anyone who beats em all because this game is starting to kick my ass, bad.

It was a masterpiece back in the day. See Spectrum Rose-Tinted Thread for more goodness.

 

[Christine]

Fuck.

Oh well.

 

[Bildi]

This party sucks.

Way to spoil a party. But yeah, it wasn't my thing. Where's Snake Rattle & Roll FFS? >:-(

God, the soundtrack for that game is amazing. Dave Wise is seriously underappreciated.

 

[voltron]

I thought it was pretty cool actually. Havent played it for months but as far as old games that get updated graphics this is one of the best.

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Fuck.

Oh well.

This game is soooo good. I think I have it sitting on a floppy disk somewhere.

[maus]

Yeah i'd like to get on some multi with this again. Only took it on Live once but play locally with a friend every so often; i usually dominate.

add me as a friend, tag: exmodel

 

[farnham]

i played this game on N64.. (it was a bonus feature or something in DK64)

 

[Mr Jared]

It's one of my favorite XBLA games ... until you get to the part where enemies are almost invisible and spawn inside of your character and you die constantly >=(

The author has also released the game as freeware. Download the game, level packs and strategy guide here.

I was about to post the same thing. The game starts out fun, but the enemy design is constantly poor and/or annoying and it just gets worse and worse as the game progresses until it hits the peak of most annoying fucking enemy design ever -- the invisibles.

And, I mean, come on...even games from 1978 realized that it's not very nice or fair to have enemies spawn ON YOU, instantly killing you, how could Rare miss this in 2006?

 

[JohnyDeepthroat]

Will be purchasing this as soon as I get my 360 back!

Jetpac: Refuelled doesn't have co-op. The only thing its multiplayer offers, is a piss-weak attempt at a competitive versus mode that generates almost the same amount of enemies as the first 10 single player levels (= boring). Disappointing, since actual co-op would've been great in this.

Very good game overall though, definitely worth the 400 MS Points.
