    What's nice about FIFA is that it does a very nice mix of simulation and arcade gameplay that works wonderfully with the game.

    Although it may not be as complex or well rounded as many other platforming titles already on the market today, the game does a solid job.

    I still feel that the game could have included some more classics, but with what they gave you most of us will be quite satisfied.

    Graphically it is the best Xbox game to appear this year (along with Panzer Dragoon). In terms of gameplay its story line will have you laughing and its explosive set pieces will have you yearning for more. Its balanced combination of all out blasting and adventure objectives will keep you entertained from start until finish.

    The major downside to Battlecry was the repetitive nature of the game, which thankfully is not present anymore in the game.

    A much more detailed game that improves upon last year's graphical system with much better character models.

    If you have been looking forward to this game you may be a little disappointed with the Konquest mode, but the other modes help make the game a solid choice.

    The one addition that has really made Colin McRae Rally 2005 a whole lot more fun then before is the Xbox Live support. I have found that all of my games have been lag free and all have been quite competitive.

    Shadow Hearts is not a short game by any means, as it will take normal gamers anywhere from thirty to forty hours to complete.

    As time wore on so did the fun of the game, and it ended up being just another movie made into a game.

    When has exercising ever been fun? With that being said the developers did an amazing job of making an experience that was different and enjoyable.

    I just think the execution of the game is nowhere near as good as it could have been. The potential for this game is endless and I think Nintendo only brought us with an average gaming experience.

    The game now has a total of 50 songs, plenty of different modes to choose from in the same old DDR Style. Any fan of the series couldn't go wrong with this one.

    Unless you are craving another telekinesis type action game this one will be best as just a rental.

    The combat in the game is very entertaining and combine that with a very solid storyline and you have a game that will make any X-Men fan very happy.

    But for those of you avid Star War fans who were expecting something spectacular this one just doesn't have all the right ingredients.

    But by far the most exciting portion of NHL 2005 has to be the dynasty mode which is something EA Sports is getting very good at creating. There are just so many different customization options that you can choose from that any hockey enthusiast who is bored to tears with the lack of hockey this season could really spend hours in this mode.

    The Legends Mode isn't as deep as it could be, but for as long as it lasts its quite fun to play. Along with a slue of other modes, you are looking at a game that really is a whole lot of fun.

    Very challenging and incredibly addictive. The game does a great job of doing what it set out to do and this is a solid side scrolling shooter.
    • 88 Metascore

    Combines a great storyline with superb gameplay, and slick graphics, to give you an experience that is just non-stop fun.

    Demon Stone could have been a great game given a little more depth and better computer AI.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    I really thought the developers did a great job of making a very easy yet complex combat system that allowed gamers to really let it loose and have fun.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a perfect example of a fighting game that was done right. The only thing that was really lacking in the game was more depth in the offline modes.

    There are better shooters out on the market.

    The ideas behind Conflict: Vietnam are there, the execution of the game just is not.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    But what it is good at doing is staying interesting and scary throughout the game.

    What is so amazing about Burnout 3 is not so much its excellent modes but instead its amazing gameplay.

    The driving in Test Drive: Eve of Destruction is one that I think had the potential to be great but with the lack of fine tuning ended up just being average.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fans of the movie will enjoy the very detailed storyline invested into the game, and others will find the game to be quite challenging. It would make for a great rental for anyone looking for a nice difficult third person action game.

    Plain and simple Street Racing Syndicate just isn't as good as some of the other games on the market today.
