The best description for Far Cry would be "a game that received hype, but lived up to every last damn word of it".

The game is challenging, but the challenge of the game seems incredibly balanced.

The game becomes quite boring and repetitive quickly.

An early candidate for 2004's best PC game and quite possibly the smartest game purchase choice you'll make since leaving "Daikatana" on the shelf.

It is practically the same thing, just louder, bigger and better.

The new additions probably aren't enough for owners of the PS2 version to shell out the full asking price again for the Xbox version but for those new to the franchise it offers a decent experience which should keep fans of ninja games happy for a while, despite its flaws.

The main problem with the game is also one of its strengths. The fact that it has only Corvette cars will definitely turn people off the game, but also attract a niche market of those who can't get enough one of the most famous American muscle cars.

Everything about the game oozes both style and the replication of a 1930s era is second to none.

The RPG elements keep the game from getting overly repetitive but at the very basic level, the game is a monotonous task of defeating enemies to progress further.

One of the greater traits of this game is the sound which replicates perfectly the wacky over the top 70’s effects.

It's not the best game for Xbox Live, but its by far not the worst either.

A platform game with lots of adventure, humorous elements and a ton of gameplay.

It has the small features bike fans will be looking for, but the game also caters for those looking for a quick spin with some powerful bikes.

The game is also really easy to get to grips with and features some very user friendly mechanics. For instance, jumping off a building will automatically deploy the rapel, eliminating the possibility of a mistake.

The developers have taken one of the most popular mega multiplayer games around and created a highly structured, very playable single player game from the Everquest universe.

As far as the controls go, I was left a little disappointed.

It hasn't lost much of its charm from the 2002 PC edition and they seem to have used the PS2 hardware in the best way possible.

The graphics of the game are quite impressive with a great draw distance and not much popup to speak off.

Reasonably basic improvements.

It's a shame it doesn't support four player multiplayer and if you're only buying it for multiplayer then it is somewhat hard to recommended over "Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes," which offers two extra players on the same screen at once.

This is a waste of money on the developers part to whack a mixture of poorly thought out ideas, bad visuals and sound, in the hope that a few people will somehow be tricked into buying it.

NFL Street is not an easy game, especially in the challenge mode.

One of the most chilling games available today.

Once you complete the game you will feel as if it had been slapped together with quickset glue and the storyline, whilst adding to the game, is the biggest disappointment of all, primarily because of the way it ends.

Its style is not completely original but it is certainly a successful product from a dying genre for the PC.

It is a shame that the storyline wasn't fleshed out a bit more with unique levels as it would have made it a far better game but really, only the comedy saves this one from becoming an average title.

Whilst the game doesn't look bad, it is still a very average title in terms of visuals.

As a collection of a famous game system it succeeds but whether it’s a good value purchase is up to the player.
