Namco: 'Yeah, Mr. Driller Online is pretty broken! We're on it...'

Namco's recently released Mr. Driller Online has had a LOT of problems - particularly, the 'Online' mode is a completely unplayable mess, as seen in this lovely video provided by Xbox 360 Fanboy. People are mad about it - some people even got a refund, and the game has been given a bevy of crap scores.

Since then, Namco has released a response to the public, which can be read here in Japanese. Basically, it says the following:

- We are aware that there are some problems in Mr. Driller Online's online play.
- We are currently investigating the issue.
- We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
- We will post an update at a later time.

Let's hope they do something fast, and slap the back of the developers collective heads for this tremendous screw up. I wonder if this'll get picked up by Major Nelson & co?
