Excellent voice acting and sound effects/score.

While at times you may find the game a little slow paced and the controls and gameplay frustrating, those who stick with the game to the end will come out pleased.

The combat system, while boring at first, became much more appreciable once your party begins to grow in size.

While no particular portion of the game stands out as truly spectacular, everything is sufficiently put-together to provide good entertainment. It’s simple fun.

It isn’t a complete waste of money, although it may be a complete waste of time. The Punisher feels very old in gameplay and in graphics, and it definitely won’t find a permanent place on anyone’s hard drive.

Even though it is better looking and easier to grasp than any flight sim to date, X-Plane feels unfinished. Serious fans of flight sims will enjoy X-Plane, while casual fans may want to wait for a more streamlined interface, hopefully in "X-Plane 9."

A polished shooter that breaks the here-to-fore insipid mold of movie-inspired games. It is fun and immersive, but does feel a bit lacking. EBB does not have the addictive quality of many of its FPS brethren.

A must buy to those that enjoyed the original. Hardcore fans should already own it, and everyone else will miss out on another great game yet again.

Delivers great atmosphere through simplistic stylized environments, suited music, relevant quests, massive PvP raids, and party adventuring. With their customizable user interface, chat channels, and guild system, it is easy to build strong communities for rich gaming relationships.

Its huge open-endedness does an excellent job of establishing the proper atmosphere while the balance of combat and economy produces a quality strategy title. It does, however, have its problems. Open-ended gameplay can lead to a lack of focus, and this game is very light on tutorial, how-to material which creates a somewhat larger than average learning curve; preventing me from recommending Pirate's to all gamers as a whole.

Nothing less than a revolution in the gaming industry that will keep gamers busy for years to come, just as the original did.

It's easily the best single player PC RPG this year with one of the most engaging atmospheres you will find in any game.

The environments are beautiful, sound is quality, and community is strongly encouraged. You do not have to be running this game all the time to be enjoying it.

A gripping story, brutal violence at times (well, machine violence), superb graphics, and clever adult humor are all things this game shares with "Alice." Repetitive flying and ship battles with too few on-foot missions add negatively to the game.

Evolution is a great moniker as this game has helped evolve the traditional adventure gaming genre entirely.

If you can make it through the single player game on either medium or hard, you will likely be ready to get online and play.

This game frustrates where it should rejuvenate.

The only things that I had a problem with were the dated graphics (which wasn’t hard to overcome), the shaky A.I., and the “use” key not always working correctly when trying to use things such as levers or artillery guns (I’m sure there will be patches). These few problems were not enough to distract me from a great expansion.

The ability to make me jump when enemies fly out at me, or even better to make me jump when a light breaks or a beam falls forcing me to start firing at nothing, this is a huge achievement. This game will easily join the ranks of "System Shock 2" and "Undying" as one of the scariest FPS titles ever made.

The multiplayer component is designed perfectly.

Easily the best in-planet RTS title I have played since "Starcraft", and it definitely gives me hope for the future of the RTS genre as a whole.

If an enthralling story with atmosphere is what excites you give your local library a visit.

What I didn’t love was the mediocre multiplayer component, which was purely a deathmatch fest with a single game mode.

I found it annoying that there was no mission briefing. There was no introduction information on your target or why you were there that came up prior to the mission starting.

It offers a quick adrenaline rush and beautifully detailed levels running on the spectacular Havok2.0 physics engine and, I must say, this game is one of a kind.

It offers incredible graphics, a decent story line, great sound, and it's challenging.

It really does a fantastic job at letting you in on the Vietnam era, and I’m sure that after a few patches it will be even better.

Though it may be very frustrating at times, games shouldn’t be easy to complete. Watch out for the controls if you play it on the PC, they change along with the camera angles.
