    From the moment the first cutscene runs, you are totally sucked in. Your heart rate jumps as you walk through the hallways, and no feeling is worse than being out of ammo and wounded… everything about this game sucks you into the role of the characters.

    This is about the hardest game I've ever played. Rarely do I get frustrated at a game, but I found myself constantly pausing this game and walking away to blow off steam.

    What’s awesome about the gameplay is that you can just pick up a controller and start fighting. Three buttons (block, kick, punch) are all that are needed to master a basic set of moves.

    Gets old fast. The multiplayer gameplay grows stale and can be boring, and the one-player game only takes so long to master, or become bored with. A golf fan might eat it up, but your typical gamer will probably put it down after a few days of extended play.

    Probably the best racing game on the Game Boy Advance. It has great graphics, good control, and is a lot of fun to play. The password system is the only real problem I’ve found.

    Incredibly fast, but the Xbox shows no signs of slowdown during gameplay. And really, it's saying a lot, but Jet Set Radio Future is probably the best looking Xbox game on the market right now.

    The story isn’t a bad concept, the combat system is decent, and if the gameplay engine and graphics had been updated a bit, this could have been a good game.

    It begins to get old quick.

    Changing the gameplay system is a step in the wrong direction though, and really takes away from what could have been the best wrestling game yet.

    If nothing else, the four-player mode of the game is worth the entire purchase price. Highly addictive and fun, you’ll be playing this for hours.

    I love Sonic. The problem is that Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is only about 33% Sonic. The rest is lost in mindless Tails and Knuckles levels that pull the rest of the game down.

    As I played through the game there was no slowdown and everything looked crisp and just right.

    The best Sonic game released since "Sonic CD."

    The game is beautiful. Textures all look good and the game uses the right color and landscaping to make it feel perfect.

    The game needs more polish and some more ingenuity with the songs, but this will keep you satisfied until the third installment releases.

    With this level of A.I. Allied Assault is no walk in the park.

    While the game runs well, there is little intensity to push the envelope. So much has changed since these games came out, and it just doesn’t seem nearly as exciting or intense.

    The music falls into the techno category, but it’s very bland until you start destroying enemies.

    The game is gorgeous. The CG sequences are absolutely beautiful.

    This world is giant: get really high up in the air and you can see most of the videogame. That’s an incredible feat, something I don’t think I would have imagined feasible on the Playstation 2.

    Even if you're alone, the sheer amount of options, trophy collecting and hidden characters make this game worth playing again and again. It's easy to learn but incredibly challenging to master and collect all the trophies.

    What makes Pikmin so fun is that you are seeing the world from new eyes, and exploring large beautiful environments.

    The graphics, described in one word, would have to be muddy. The framerate seems to be unnecessarily depleted from previous versions.

    The lack of gameplay ingenuity, long load times and crappy graphics will turn most off. But Simpsons fans will love the game anyway.

    The player models are much more realistic, players show emotion, and pretty much everything has been given a facelift. The animation, framerate, textures - it’s all very impressive.

    What’s so awesome is that you get to hear good music come together while playing an addictive game.

    Everything from the design of the bosses to the absolutely incredible levels screams personality.

    A fabulous game. The way it submerges you in George Lucas' universe and takes you on a wild ride is unmatched.

    Its great controls, super-realistic physics and astounding graphics will leave you searching for a towel.

    The mansion is beautiful. From the vacuum cleaner sucking up dust and objects such as tablecloths, to the mirrors and lighting effects, Luigi's Mansion is very impressive.
