It's a great party game for those in the need of a quick fix, but there's plenty of depth for those that desire to see it, as evidence in the copious amounts of secrets, strategies, and subtle nuances.

Once you get used to it, however, tricks will come second nature, and you'll enjoy the view of the humongous levels, which explode in dazzling colors and glorified details.

DMC’s lightning fast gameplay presents an experience that will make you play until your thumbs bleed.

The reason why Maximo excels at what it does is because it simply aims to do one thing well – be a great action platformer.

This game is so beautiful and addictive that I fear the quality of the writing in this review has greatly suffered, since I find it difficult to concentrate as the game beckons to me even now.

An intense and fun romp to play through again and again.

The most surprising, not to mention well-working, change in direction is Final Fantasy X's short-and-sweet storyline.

The gameplay still feels as fluid and tight as it always has, right down to the execution of some excellent running plays, defensive stops, sack opportunities and the ability to switch players on the fly with ease.

With its awesome gameplay, its slick presentation, and the classic theme of the '83 coin-op respected in full, Spy Hunter for the PlayStation 2 is one of the biggest surprises of the year.

Plain and simple, Halo is "Perfect Dark" taking place on a different world with a slightly modified story.

If you don't have the patience or your dedication level doesn't extend past that of the average mule, then you'll probably want to skip out on this game...here's yet another excellent title that'll probably be overlooked by 90% of the gamers out there.

Because Dead or Alive 3 utilizes nearly all the controls on the Xbox controller and does it with such ease, that alone is an incredible achievement.

If you give it a chance, however, it is likely that your dreams for the near future are going to be red, yellow and blue as you imagine ways of organizing a better day.

First comment that comes to mind is 'smooth'. The players have a good sense of motion in the game giving it a very realistic feel which is expressed more-over in the way 'motion capture' seems to never miss a beat.

At some points, it exceeds the word challenging and becomes insanely difficult, even for the most experienced gamers.

This game offers a lot more in the way of content and polish over the original.

THPS2x does not have much more to offer than the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 as well as the fact that it is a port, even though it is still a great game.

The gameplay is absorbing, and you’ll find yourself learning quite a bit about the nuts and bolts of racing.

The worst thing about this game is that saving a season fills up every last inch of space on the ill-named Memory Card 59.

It takes mind-blowing environments and mixes them with realistically moving and sounding characters that create one of the best pseudo-realities ever.

The game’s monsters are also brilliantly designed. Many of the game’s monsters are enough alone to make it a horror title.

While nothing is overly spectacular, the game is very solid, never seems to 'drag its feet', and the storyline always pushes forward.

Extremely fun...The main flaw in Wreckless is in the area of control. The car handling dynamics are extremely loose to convey the feeling of being well...Wreckless.
