Involved: Completed game and unlocked all achievementsSummary: I played the first few hours of this game when it was originally released for the Xbox/Gamecube, but never gave it the time to push to the end. With this XBLA release, I jumped on board immediately and didn't regret it. BG&E holds up well with a solid environment, variety of puzzles, platforming, enjoyable combat and navigation around the city. There's also a fair amount of driving around with the hovercraft, the upgrade path leads straight into the story progression, and I found it to be engaging until I found myself at the end of the game. It's also longer than many modern blockbusters, especially if you want to get all 12 achievements (not an incredibly difficult task in its own right). I had a couple of lockups but I blame it on the base game having them rather than poor emulation. Recommended.
Next: No real reason to go back, with all the achievements unlocked and no additional modes.
