Will wait for this to go on sale before I get this. I wish the mp was online though...dont know anyone close to me that owns a WP so that admittedly is an offput in a way.

I want this game but I don't like the multiplayer achievement I live in a town of less than 500 people and I don't know anyone with a WP7 much less this game.

The mp cheev is ridiculous. They actually expect you not only know someone who has a wp7 but also has this game. Then beat them 50 times? It would be different if like some games the mp was all on one phone, i know with a racing game thats silly. I'm just saying, for most people that cheev may as well be unobtainable. In fact the description might as well read, find a boosting partner beat him 50 times, then let him do the same. Because thats the only way anyone gets this cheev.

It's a shame about the multiplayer achievement if you don't know anyone else with a windows phone who's near by

the same people complaining about the multiplayer cheevo probably own 20 xboxes from 10 different regions and buy 40 gold accounts and 40 copies of the same game to boost, no? A true cheevo whore will buy 2 phones!!!!

You could go to another carrier and act interested in a new phone, take it home for a day, boost this achievement, then return the phone the next day -- "I didn't like it".

I wish I had a wp7 for this

Can't you just use Hamachi to make a private connection between 2 computers then connect your phone to your router then link it to another person you know on Live to hit your ip so the LAN connections over the internet to make the phone think it's in local.

I feel like people should be able to get the MP achievement pretty easy with todays technology but I could be wrong..

Bit of a brutal MP achievement there... and $5 seems pricey but it does look like a cool game.

Lol what a joke. I know no one with a windows phone, I know I will put my trust in someone here, send them my phone, unlock the achievement, then send his phone to me.

Not all games for the Windows Phone are $5 there are plenty for 99 cents and free, plus I get achievements while you get shit on your Android
