    I felt there was entirely too many bosses to fight and not nearly enough run and gun action. Each short action stage is merely setting you up for another boss battle.

    It's just been so toned down from the original that on one hand while I applaud the balancing of the weapons, on the other I miss the raw intensity that permeated "Unreal Tournament."

    I could not image a more perfect racer for a beginner or young child. This game is absolutely the bomb. It's easy to learn, easy to play and very easy on the eyes.

    It's just too long. The game takes about 20 hours to complete but in my opinion, it would have been ten times better if it was half as long. The game becomes very repetitive in virtually all areas including the gameplay, environments and sounds.

    It's not the greatest game to ever grace a console because the missions degenerate into make-work projects but if you only play this game a few hours a day the repetition will be less noticeable.

    Yes, the game still lacks a certain depth, and fighting game fanatics raised on "Soul Calibur," "Virtua Fighter" and "Tekken" should certainly look elsewhere, but fans of Nintendo (and of the first game) will absolutely love what's going on here.
