Castle Crashers King Pack is a Fighting game available on the 360. It can be played in Singleplayer Competitive Cooperative modes.

Castle Crashers King Pack is a Fighting game. Fighting games revolve around the interaction of two or more characters in some form of physical combat. Players learn to control characters through either memorisation of button combinations to access more advance moves, or by their reactions and accurate timing.

Castle Crashers King Pack can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Castle Crashers King Pack can be played in a Competitive mode. Competitive Multiplayer games provide experiences where players compete against each other and the computer. Obviously lending itself to sports and team games, these competitive engagements have also dominated the shooting and fighting genres because of the direct combat and expertise involved in each. Although these games were originally played in a split screen style, more recently they are played online via services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and the Nintendo Wireless Connection.

Castle Crashers King Pack can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Multiplayer Gamer review Thu, 11 Feb 2010

Castle Crashers DLC King Pack introduces two new playable characters and a couple of new pet pods to collect, but even though these two extras make no discernible difference to the game. I still had a great experience playing. Donning my multiplayer headset and mic, I waded in with eyes and ears wide open.

There are multiplayer games that make you wonder why you bother to put your headphones on - the kind of games where the only way to communicate seems to be through continuous verbal abuse. And then there are games that reaffirm your belief that the online community isn't populated entirely by testosterone-fuelled teenagers with anger management issues.
