    An old school delight. This version of the game will keep traditionalists and causal gamers happy, but hardcore fanatics might find the gameplay too repetitive.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's nice to see Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's characters finally represented in gaming form and the mojo tries to support the old school heroes, but there isn't enough umph in the end.

    Bash em' in the balls, bounce on their breasts and get all the money your pockets can handle. Conker is on a roll and hasn't lost a step.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's addictive, humorous and easy to get into three traits that go a long way in the gaming. Even though the game is an overall success it is a little repetitive and dull even with all the destruction and giggles.

    We have to thank THQ from pulling this franchise from the doomed Acclaim brand because Juiced is a good, fun racing game that has some canny ideas.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Bigger and badder then ever.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    If you were looking for a mature plot driven game mixed with drama, suspense and gore then this is your victim. Remember its pace is slow, but the reward is worth the time invested.

    A great pick for any gamer who likes golf, but isn't obsessed with the sport. There are enough characters, courses and unlockables to keep you busy for a long, long time.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    A fully fleshed out multiplayer, realistic and fun driving, tons of variety, and an interesting drivatar feature Forza has everything you could have asked for in a racing game and is bound to please anyone who was looking forward to it, or anyone who likes driving games at all.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A well rounded FPS which gives you just enough to keep the controller in your hand.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game itself is based on a funny concept and it keeps the player amused throughout, with one liners from the Kewletts and the joke signs placed on the battlefields.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    THQ's new development team really put the polish on the games visuals and sound, but failed to polish up the final product.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not flawless in its execution, but I'd have to say there is just enough play in ATV Offroad Fury to keep fans happy.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It has its problems, and it isn't the best Unreal game to be made (that would go to the excellent "Unreal Tournament 2004"), but it is the most original game in the series and your best choice on Xbox.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    You will be in vigilantly enthralled until the very end of the epic quest.
    • 84 Metascore

    The rides are truly sweet and the inclusion of trucks and bikes is magic. If there is one racer that burns mojo nitro it's Midnight Club 3.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A great little game which mirrors Mad Magazine characters perfectly. It's not groundbreaking, but it's fun, and that's the main key to remember.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The subject matter has been done before, but Obscure manages to keep it fresh.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    So the game doesn't innovate, its story isn't anything special, the graphics are only average and it isn't the most exciting game around but does that mean it's bad? Not really, you aren't going to be in pain playing it, but you're also not going to get sucked in like the game should do.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One area where you could note Doom 3 as being innovative is the way it uses its great lighting and atmosphere to effect the small spaced environments of the game. Doom 3 achieves this like no other first person shooter giving the player a great sense of paranoia.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Easily the best Splinter Cell game released yet, from the jaw dropping graphics to the pulse pounding action Chaos Theory goes above and beyond the call and creates one of the best experiences yet for the Xbox.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Yes, Combat: Task Force 121 is a budget title, but the low price factor can't excuse it from being so poorly developed... especially when stacking up to other budget titles like "Phantom Dust" & "Scrapland."
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The coolest thing about Ape Escape besides capturing monkeys with lights on their heads is all the gadgets. They really make this one fun to play and gives you reason to revisit old levels just to run around with a new gadget.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although the Darkworks gets points for an original setting, the plot is just shark food.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Brothers really ends up feeling like you're playing a really good WW2 movie like "Saving Private Ryan," or "Band of Brothers." As long as your into the game you definitely should not feel bored from it.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's great that Star Wars is back and building for its finale with episode three on its way, but what is Star Wars without the Lightsabers and the Force?! Uh, yes... Just another rerun of "Battlestar Galatica."
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Proves that there are still fresh ideas out there.

    The mojo drops like rain on the field and you can't help not to get wet!

    On a sexual level there isn't much to get the members rumbling, but it does the trick for a Sim like experience as one of the greatest men of our time.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    You gotta love a man who puts two knifes in your hand then pushes them through your eye sockets. Frank Castle is definitely someone you want on your good side.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you love explosions, feeling like a one man army, car jacking, and 40 hour gameplay do yourself a favor and pick up Mercenaries, the first must own game for the Xbox in 2005.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The mech hacking was something I didn't expect and I loved its inclusion. It's executed so it's not annoying, but it's just challenging enough to get your blood going when the screen is full of action.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The step into the darkside away from the cartoony style of the previous titles was a good choice. You've just got to love the 'badass' look.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Your standard first person shooter which offers some new ideas over a familiar setting.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There really isn't much mojo to be found in Blinx 2. Although you can do some cool things like dodging bullets, and freezing time the fact that you're a cat really takes away from it. The music, graphics, lack of monsters, bad story, bad voice acting, cartoony feel, and boring gameplay also help make this a fairly mojo deprived game.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    From the deep stat tracking to the games ability to match you up with people your own ability,the clan and party support, and huge number of game modes, Halo 2's multiplayer is definitely a revolution for console multiplayer games.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The Urbz has tones of personality and original style which is commended, but the negative vibe of all this style and social status voodoo is that it might be teaching improper stereotypes about certain groups in society.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The overlapping storyline, basic role-playing elements and dulled out graphics are crippling downfalls, but even so the game is entertaining.
    • 84 Metascore

    Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butteryfly DC will have you glued to your seat with cat like pupils, homing into every sound. This is one of the years finest adventures.
    • 83 Metascore

    Dead or Alive is full of mojo, from the scantily clad, and beautiful ladies to the awesome and cool moves this game is just crying out Mojo.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    One of the best role playing experiences for the Xbox console in 2004.
    • 74 Metascore

    Never takes itself too seriously and offers up a great alternative from the rest of the pack.
    • 81 Metascore

    Microsoft's hidden gem, and Phantagrams masterpiece.

    Midway Arcade Treasures 2 has one major attribute and that is nostalgia. If you own this disc already chances are that you are an old school gamer and are reliving the old glory days.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    On one level as a fan, I love being able to partake in the events in the Robotech universe. Even though the game overall is a let down, I can forgive its short comings and enjoy the game for what it is.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Deception did nothing for me and it could be because of my countless hours playing "Soul Calibur," but I need more out of my fighting games.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    THUG 2 is oozing with the mojo, and all the extra content and story send this game off the scale. I think the idea of Team Hawk vs. Team Bam! Was inventive and brought more than expected for this sequel.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you into Legends just for the boxing you could be a bit disappointed. Like I mentioned early, Rocky: Legends makes you feel like you could be a part of the movies with its fast paced action and retrospective story mode.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The AI really has some flaws and overall the representation of Legends being an RPG is misleading. Aside from these flaws X-Men: Legends has loads of replayablilty, customization and super awesome cast of X-Men and villains.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Second Sight's visuals are a little dull, and the game isn't as violent or flashy as its rival Psi-Ops. But where Second Sight does excel is in the balancing of the story with some innovative gameplay elements.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Not as fantastic as last year.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The graphics run a little below par, but if you can handle the gritty look and sometimes doggy AI you'll be rewarded with a great experience.
    • 85 Metascore

    Who would ever thought you can run around with horns and a dress an punt chickens... lol The mojo is maxed out for Fable; there is so much to love and so little time.

    Taking a screaming fast car and driving it into a busy intersection creating a massive car pile up costing millions of dollars is not only fun, but addictive.

    What I found to be the most innovative aspect on Street Racing Syndicate is how they totally homed in on their target audience and gave them what they wanted. Flash, Speed and Girls.

    The best virtual experience of hockey to date.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Sure there are things I would have changed, but on its own the mojo breaks through the clouds. WOW attains nice little tilt on the mojo for its graphical touches and old war inspired fighter planes.

    Although you might have a few so-so races, when you have the good ones… wow! They are intense, fun and full of the mojo.

    It proves to be slightly better than the last game, and gives us a sleek satisfying experience.

    I think blowing little plastic chunks off the enemy is great, and if done right would be a blast. There is some mojo to be found in the plastic patriots, but a serious overhaul if overdue.

    Sudeki tries a new path and gives us real time combat instead of the normal turn-based style which works. Sudeki plays like an eastern role-playing game, with western combat ideas.

    A flat out bomb, just like the pictures ticket sales. It's a shame Electronic Arts had to develop a movie version of Catwoman without the freedom of using the real feline character from the comics. Stay away from this game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is finally a comic book game worthy of the character.

    It may take you a long time to create the perfect directors cut but it is fun.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The great thing about the game is that you can take it on at your own pace, with your own style.

    Malice has some of the campiest voice work I have heard to date. It's not horrible by any means, but the dialog between the characters is pretty lame.

    There is no better representation of the war mojo then sneaking up your two squads for some nice ambush crossfire killing action.

    The idea of stealing loot which you then need to sell at certain fences to buy equipment is good fun and the way you are free to explore is very nice.

    Hands down one of the best driving experiences you can have on the Xbox.

    Fun while it lasts and good for people who want a challenging and realistic rally game. Rent it. Experience it. Move on to bigger things.

    This game is cooler than ice cream stored in a fridge on Pluto. It look cools, it plays cool, it sounds cool.
    • 94 Metascore

    It has the feel of an action game and the depth of an RPG. My advice: Don't bother renting it. Just buy it.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The sounds of the environment is what matters. The other characters in the game even the ruffling of your pants in the wind. This game is a treat to experience in 5.1 or in the headphones.

    Halo crushed all my expectations of what a FPS should be. I love this game.
