Paperboy just doesn't have the substance to keep anybody but the leaderboard obsessive or Paperboy nuts interested for very long.

If you ever cared about the arcade version of Paperboy, you'll get some nostalgic excitement from this emulation of the original.

Aside from some iffy hit detection (2 pixels to the right of the front door won’t trigger a delivered paper at times), an RC car that’s relentless in its pursuit of your carrier (it’s pesky to say the least), and the omission of Paperboy’s Ditty from the soundtrack (j/k), Paperboy "delivers" as advertised in the classifieds.

Its good to see some remakes and re releases of old and hard to find games from previous systems being released. Those who like to leave negative ratings because they dont like the genre are the ones who mess up the rating system on here. If you don't like this or that kind of game then you aren't gonna accurately rate. Unless it is due to some kind of flaw or glitch. Same with those who rate older 360 games lower due to graphics when they were up to par when the game was released so please think of that when rating. Some people actually want to find a good game here and those of you who do this are messing it up for us!! If you really want old school nintendo games and have internet at home, I would say to buy a WIIU since they now sell almost all old nintendo games through their site for a couple bucks each and you can download likely all of them with room to spare on your console.

Its difficulty will put off those who want an easy ride, but for the hardcore, those who want something different from their games, it's the Holy Grail on wheels. [Apr 2007, p.96]

It disappoints only in Live multiplayer, where an updating score(gee, thanks...)is all players see of each other, and one person's demise ends both games. [Apr 2007, p.90]

The game quickly gets repetitive, and becomes one of those retro games you'll dip into now and then rather than have extensive score-beating sessions on like the best games on Xbox Live Arcade.

I thought this game was really fun in the arcade. I didn’t realize how much the controller was part of the experience back then.

The single-player is too frustrating to be fun on the harder levels and the multi-player feels tacked-on and useless. While the price is certainly right the game still doesn’t manage to hold water in the long run and will more than likely be just another reason to achieve 200 gamer points.
