Score some points, hand over the ball and watch the opposition do the same: it gets quite monotonous and struggles to replicate the soaring, athletic ballet of its subject matter.- Armchair Empire

The multiplayer mode is a waste of disc space thanks to the decision to forgo split-screen and could have easily been improved with a few minor changes.- Armchair Empire

At the end of the day, I found myself coming back to this version of Wreckless (over the Xbox version) because it has more options and winds up being more fun (even though there’s still some frustration to cut through). I know I seem to be in a minority, but I still liked Wreckless.- Armchair Empire

The controls are done well but the lack of speed really kills.- Armchair Empire

The action is compressed and more intense than the regular game. But that compressed action, although more intense, means you'll zip through the single-player campaign in short order -- about 6 hours.- Armchair Empire

It’s deep and highly entertaining but a few flaws and misses hold it back.- Armchair Empire

It is a little too derivative of the better games in the genre, a little too short and a little too easy.- Armchair Empire

After playing (and completing) Kakuto Chojin’s single-player story mode in about 10 minutes or so you will you find yourself incredulously asking no one in particular, “This is all there is?”- Armchair Empire

The controls of MechAssault are its biggest asset. I could not believe how responsive the controls are and how easy they are to master.- Armchair Empire

Unlike EA’s NHL games, which have generally put an emphasis on offense, NHL 2K3 is a much more balanced game. Most players will not score an average of 10 goals a game in NHL 2K3.- Armchair Empire

The extremely high level of difficulty will leave some gamers a whimpering heap in the corner... But if you don’t mind a challenge, expect an extremely fun, rewarding experience.- Armchair Empire

It is one of the best “extreme” racing titles on the system, and online play gives the game tremendous replay value.- Armchair Empire

Kudos to the developer for the fact that the game ran trouble free without a patch—only the third game I’ve played in the last month for which that was true.- Armchair Empire

The sound design is simply amazing! If you’ve got a decent sound system, Frontline will rattle your bones and quicken your pulse.- Armchair Empire

An excellent game that will appeal to the hardcore sim-freaks, but only those who have large amounts of time to spend gaming.- Armchair Empire

It’s gameplay is simplistic while still offering challenges and rewards that will keep kids interested beyond the Story mode. [Score for Kids = 80]- Armchair Empire

A game that really needs a design overhaul – some might like title, but I certainly wouldn’t want to spend more time with it.- Armchair Empire

Might interest younger gamers and please parents with it’s inoffensiveness, but there are still better games out there for the younger audience.- Armchair Empire

I found the presentation technically impeccable, but was not able to sufficiently overcome the difficulty in issuing orders and controlling the camera to derive a lot of enjoyment from the game.- Armchair Empire

If "Warcraft 3" is a tactical blitz, O.R.B. is the slower, relaxed alternative. It's a seldom-traveled path: a game of patience, development and, lest we forget, strategy.- Armchair Empire

Despite good controls, graphics and sound, Zapper’s gameplay is too short, and that turns out to be one of its biggest drawbacks.- Armchair Empire

Once your island is set up, you can tackle the missions. Well, tackle may be too strong of a word, trudge may be more correct.- Armchair Empire
