It was a $15 Live Arcade style release. I'm pretty sure there's no campaign. Not sure about bots though.
EA is really lucking out that Microsoft started this backwards compatibility thing. It keeps enhancing their service.
it's a partnership that benefits everybody involved
hopefully that's enough motivation to get EA to work out NBA street licensing -- there's no game I want BC more!
Sadly I think Street is a serious longshot. Too many licensing issues to overcome there.
I think one of the bigger reasons EA sustains access on xbox and puts up with microsoft having gamepass with no problem is how they know they can use a feature of the console to enhance their own service
As someone previously said, mutual benefits.
I'm having an issue downloading Vanquish and Battlefield 1943. A "uh-oh" page briefly pops up before vanishing, and the store still displays "See Price".
Anyone else having a similar issue?

I ordered a few OG XBox games along with the Hyperkin Duke controller, and what a piece of shit this controller is. Clicky buttons, light hollow-feeling plastic, triggers with no resistance, and the added LB/RB buttons feel like garbage. I'm gonna try to get my money back on it.
But Ninja Gaiden Black, Burnout 3, Crimson Skies, and The Suffering for $12 ain't bad.

There is hope though. NBA Jam on Fire Edition is BC and that's totally licensed teams and players.
is 1943 even active anymore? I have qualms buying an old shooter without knowing if im throwing my money away.
Why is licensing an issue with BC? If the game is on the 360 digital store it should be fine, just need the publisher to approve, right?
If its not on the digital store, they could just make it bc with a disc only
Been matchmaking into games in seconds this evening. Whether that lasts, I don't know, but being in Access certainly can't hurt.
When the original game is created, many licensing contracts stipulate which platforms it is for. If a game is on the 360 store that's good because it means the contracts haven't run out completely, but it doesn't mean they can release the game on the Xbox One since the contracts may specify the platforms. The reason why this is important is due to your second question regarding disc-only BC:
Because Xbox One BC doesn't run directly from the disc but from a new tailored package downloaded from Xbox servers, all BC titles are, in effect, re-published on the Xbox One. This means that, depending on how the license contract was originally structured, it may require permission from all parties or even worse a new contract. This may be cost or time-prohibitive for many publishers.
I ran and booted up the game as soon as Major posted. There was no game whatsoever. 10 minuted later, the lobby was full. We played Iwo Jima and Wake Island.
lol I had to find out if that was a real P1 and found this:

Pretty dang cool.
Serious Sam 4 is coming. There's a new spin-off available on Xbox One, I Hate Running Backwards. The previous spin-offs were on Xbox 360. The remastered versions of The First Encounter and The Second Encounter were on Xbox 360, along with Serious Sam 3 and its DLCs.
How the fuck is none of these backwards compatible on Xbox One yet? The popularity of Doom 2016, the new Shadow Warrior games, etc. should make this a no-brainer. Hell, even Serious Sam 2 from the first Xbox could arrive, and then we'd truly have all the most important games of the franchise. Boggles my mind how none of the Serious Sam games are available on Xbox One.

I agree, Serious Sam games are fun as hell. You should contact the developers and let them know how much we want them. It's not Microsoft's decision sadly.
they have great offices for car nut co'

Gears of War 2 and 3 are awesome in co-op on the couch. Left 4 Dead 2 is pretty great too.
There are also classics like Castle Crashers, though that has a native Xbox One remaster.
Some other notable mentions:

Filter by "couch co-op" and sort by reviews! I don't think their "Xbox One compatible" list is up to date though, because Monaco is BC but doesn't show up in their BC list.

Is it me or does 1943 look a little rough on a 4K/XBX? Lots of aliasing. I'm spoiled by OG re-releases.
1943 and the Bad Company games always looked quite rough back on the 360. Lots of destruction going on with the game engine, but the graphics weren't as detailed as a result.
Earth Defense Force 2017 for sure.
Until EDF 20205 gets added that is.
The game is BC, and on the store. If there have ever been any licensing issues, they've been resolved.
Great, hopefully it's just a matter of time until we get that enhanced patch, then.
I wonder what the introduction would look like. That transition from cutscene to gameplay was almost perfect, maybe it would be more noticeable in 4K.
Licensing issues have nothing to do with a 360 game that's BC being X enhanced through emulation.
Might be slightly off topic but any predictions on what 360 titles will be part of next month's games with gold offerings? Crackdown 2 would make some sense given the upcoming release of the third installment in the series. Dante's Inferno would be a nice addition, not too unrealistic as EA has been supportive of making their old releases compatible.
Since they are announcing it late, I would lower your expectations, hope its not Dante's inferno already have that. Crackdown 2 would be good, maybe the mixed reception would make them reluctant though with crackdown 3 coming out.
I'd Love Dante's Inferno, I only ever played the PC version
I'd love Mashed to get the treatment!! It's a fantastic couch game with friends, one of the best micro machines type racers made.
