With some nice multiplayer, a good variety of characters, and plenty of weapons, Castle Crashers is worth a shot.

First thing you should know, is for the price, you cannot go wrong with this game. Even by yourself you can have a blast. Although, it is easily more fun to play with a few friends. You may be turned off to playing with random people on X-Box Live, due to the rather immature community of cheaters, uncooperative players, and the people who constantly kick you from the lobby. Also the fact that there are not that many people playing anymore. But the game play itself is rather enjoyable to a certain extent. Once you go through a couple playthroughs, and maybe a completion of insane mode, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the repetitive fighting and button mashing that you have been doing from level 10. To add on to the repetitiveness (is that a word?), the story isn't very long, you could probably beat it in a few hours, and it doesn't change no matter which character you use. But, the characters are always fun. Certain characters are unlocked by beating the game with other certain characters, and it is very rewarding once you unlock another goofy character to play the game with and level up. The variety of weapon and animal pets that you can collect make the game a little more lasting, but all in all, you will eventually get bored with the game. But considering it is an arcade game, for a pretty low price, castle crashers is definitely worth a go on your X-Box.
