With the great releases we've seen on the Live Arcade lately I suppose it was bound to happen -- we're back to crappy ports of old arcade games. This week's victim? Jetpac Refuelled:

Rare's Jetpac Refuelled is a revamped and modernized version of the 1983 classic space blaster Jetpac. In Jetpac Refuelled players must clear a path through hordes of aliens to refuel their ship and amass a fortune over the course of 128 hi-definition levels, complete with achievements, leaderboards and simultaneous multiplayer action. Compared to the original Jetpac, which included 16 levels, Jetpac Refuelled provides players with everything they loved in the classic, and much more.

It's worth noting that this is Rare's first Live Arcade title. I hope that their next will be something a little more original.

Hey, just because it's a remake doesn't mean it's not a good game.It's definitely not a "crappy port".

Maybe I'm being a little harsh (I haven't got to play Jetpac yet, since it came out after my system broke), but it's just hard for me to get excited about many of these arcade ports -- especially when there's great original titles for them to compete with.
