GTN2BOXBLA: Chu Chu Rocket

Chu Chu Rocket is a great game; arguably the best puzzler on the Dreamcast (and GBA). It is perfectly suited for XBLA; Simple yet addictive gameplay, fun multiplayer, sweet and simple map editor, blablabla. The only thing it has against it is an obvious leaderboard function...but why not just total up the number of puzzles completed and that be your score? THERE. DONE. Of course, a multiplayer learderboard for the total mice banked would be pretty straightforward. Beyond that, the game just deserves some recognition...for crying out loud, it's pretty much the only good game (not counting PSO or Samba) that Sonic Team has made in the past 10 years.
