Crimson Skies: One week later

Well, its the best Live game out there right now. Up to 16 players in the match at the same time and I've experienced no lag. Online modes rock, and this game actually takes skill, unlike what Mechassault has devolved into (Ragnaroks and Atlases standing and shooting). Its balanced enough to where I can take the weakest armored yet fastest plane and actually hold a chance since the slower tanks can't catch me. Granted, that's not easy, but this game is FUN regardless. The ranking system is cool too. Only minor problems I have is the voice chat in the actual game. Sketchy, echos, garbled.

Anyone else buy this yet?

Live makes the game. Its still a good single player, but I couldn't see myself playing through it more than twice. This game is the exact experience Microsoft was gunning for with the Xbox Live service.
