It's not enough to pretend anymore. If you've played the last three games then you've basically played this one.

If you're looking for a solid football game that pulls you right in the action, ESPN Football will do exactly that. If you're looking for a football game that offers plenty of options and online features, you will find that as well. ESPN Football is one of the best sports games to come around in a long time!

Hands down this is the best child-oriented game I've ever had the pleasure of playing and that's because Disney Extreme Skate Adventure goes to great lengths NOT to insult the gamers intelligence and skills.

Put[s] the power of Tony Hawk in the hands of the least skilled of gamers. It's fun and easy with just the right balance of challenge to keep you motivated and interested for many fun sessions.

You'll notice that the Xbox version is the better of the bunch. All console versions are colorful and share the same characters and expansive environments but the Xbox just presents it better.

While it may sound like there's plenty of replay value here with the ability to play through it as two entirely different characters it's really just the same strategy game with the concept totally reversed.

As a sequel to Beyond the BattleBox, this game not only fails to stake new territory for the series but it refuses to move out of its parent's house.

About as average a motocross game as one could expect. It's not bad but it sure lacks magic of any kind.

Despite some great innovations such as online gaming and voice recognition, NFL GameDay 2004 is still a bit of a stinker as far as gameplay is concerned.

That isn't to say SCII isn't a fine upstanding product; it is in spades. It just happens to be more than a little predictable and without sounding unappreciative, it's more or less like the excellent Dreamcast verison released back in 1999.

It's not that Otogi doesn't deliver, it's just that I wished it delivered more depth in it's gameplay rather than relying on the "hey look at how insanely cool my graphics are" school of development.

If you're not bored with it in half-an-hour then you can come over to my place and watch the paint dry on the side of my garage. You will spend endless fascinating hours as the sun causes the underlying layers of latex to expand and bubble, eventually making the top coat flake off into little peel-able chips.

I also have to wonder after 3 years why the game still has some things that have not been fixed? It's not that Fever is a bad game. It just seems to be missing that final polished look and play about it.

The biggest disappointment concerning Scooby Doo! Night of 100 Frights, is that it doesn't look or play any differently on the Xbox than it did on the PS2 version which was released more than a year ago.

That isn't to say SCII isn't a fine upstanding product; it is in spades. It just happens to be more than a little predictable and without sounding unappreciative, it's more or less like the excellent Dreamcast verison released back in 1999.

Unfortunately the GameCube is my least favorite in terms of control, with the PS2 being the most comfortable controller to use... The GC D-Pad is entirely to small and finicky, the Xbox D-Pad is too rounded and sloppy but the PS2 D-Pad....it's just right.

Ghost Master is all about death, and it works. It combines RTS, RPG and action elements and will bring to mind games such as "The Sims" and "Monsters Inc." with a healthy dose of "Scary Movie's" irreverent sense of humor.

Mojo would be an absolutely fantastic puzzle game if a few technicalities were tweaked... With more than 100 stages and a four-player mode you could certainly do a lot worse than Mojo.

The animation has been smoothed over but the Xbox version is the clear winner in the graphic department.

If TRON 2.0 allowed you to use more of your brain along with the action elements, it would be a more rewarding experience. As it is, TRON 2.0 underneath all the glitter, glimmer and high-tech processing is just a 386.

The problem with Prison Escape is that it's just a buggy little piece of crap. If I were playing this game for my own enjoyment instead of reviewing it I would take this back to the store so fast I would be able catch myself coming out of the door withit.

There is no doubt that this game will take a lot of time to complete but the repetitious nature of the gameplay will ensure that all but the most ardent of Pokemon fans will take the time to collect all 200 monsters.

Unfortunately the tweaking seems to have actually diminished the playability slightly and therefore Chaos Bleeds just doesn't have that "control is like butta" feel that the first one had in spades.

One of the more challenging and frustrating racers to come along in ages, F-Zero GX will give any, and I mean any, gamer one hell of a run for his money.

Realism has its place in games but the realism that the developers chose to highlight in Aquanox 2: Revelation actually impedes the gameplay.

A good game but the developers made one serious mistake. By making the game so short and with no multi-player or any serious replay value, Outrage has created the perfect rental.

Suffers from average gameplay and a few flaws in the mechanics. It's not the most fun game if you consider that it includes all the patent action/platforming elements with few surprises, but the storyline may make things a lot easier to take.

Don't even think of renting if for this price. With such a simple-to-use, yet complex control system, you can be fighting in no time and continue refining your skills for months to come.
