Multiplayer has been greatly improved, with characters' journal state now being saved, so playing through one of the campaigns with a friend or two is a much more satisfying.

The game has had a major overhaul of the FPS engine and a nice improvement on the "action dictates storyline" aspect.

If you’ve played or owned the Dreamcast version though, there isn’t much new to do.

The best game of its kind on the console, primarily due to its excellent free-roam career mode that adds extra realism and enjoyment, doing away with the standard menus that some other games still employ.

While not the most difficult or longest FPS game on the Xbox, or PS2 it is a competent shooter, and is worth checking out.

It provides intoxicating gaming on a tremendously large scale rarely seen before in the hack and slash war genre.

Its unique Hero system is fantastic and the gameplay is very addictive.

The atrocious frame rate and textures hurts the game play, almost making it at times unplayable. Max still has the charismatic way of dealing with his demons, which is dealing death with bitter coolness.

The battling is appealing for a while but soon becomes a bit repetitive. Fortunately the game’s graphics are nice-looking and crisp and the sound (especially the music) is excellent.

It’s not quite the free-range RPG that we’ve been hoping for where we can prance along the fields on horses playing as Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli permanently, but its close enough to make for a great game.

Chances are you’ll play this game for a maximum of 10 hours, unless you have a mate with the game as well, which could increase the gameplay value if you can put up with a slowed-down battle.

The intros and the voice-overs of the WWII veterans is what helps bring a sense of realism to this game.

There aren’t many puzzles in the game, which help to eliminate constant battling in RPGs, and therefore the game can become a repetitive - albeit enjoyable - hack and slash adventure, often leading to lower motivation to keep playing.

Although the water textures could have used a bit of work, the engine for the water makes it all look breathtaking as you watch the waves come in from offshore.

The sound is exceptional and sets the atmosphere and pace of the game.

The only things that make Sonic Heroes separate from other games are its really bad voice acting, camera issues, multiplayer frame rates and the amount of time it takes to complete the single-player mode.

Whats unfortunate is there is no real difference in graphics from Sega GT 2002, which is disappointing. I would have liked to have seen better car models, car damage and effects. Why is it that games which claim excellent realism, often the cars handling is poor?

An enjoyable thinking experience is what most will take from Bombastic, a game where rolling dice has never been so explosive or enjoyable.

Pac 'n' Roll proudly stands as the king of mediocrity. Not bad, not good, but just there anyway, pushed out of the door to keep the income coming.

Younger gamers will love it and will definitely be begging for it after seeing the movie, while older gamers will easily pick out its flaws such as its linearity and short lifespan.

This is exactly the kind of thing that the DS was created for. Excellent, unique, fun, you'll never have so much fun with fish (unless you want to play Seaman on the Dreamcast). [JPN Import]

If you can look paste the long loading times, then this is an awesome title and definitely recommended.

There’s a huge arsenal of weapons available for you to maul your enemies with and running over pedestrians to see the fantastic rag doll physics and, of course, the huge splatters of blood, is great fun.

Through its heavy use of cut scenes the game does a fantastic job of developing its storyline and characters. Though it is a little bit short at only ten chapters, the game features three difficulty modes and interesting unlockables to keep you busy.

If you can look paste the long loading times, then this is an awesome title and definitely recommended.

This game appears to be suited for the younger audience but not too young as some of the evil characters are freaky with their weird screams and looks they may scare the little ones.

X3 – Reunion is bigger, and visually more impressive than any of the X titles that preceded it. However the game play can be very repetitive and you can lose interest unless you are a dedicated player.

Once all is said and done, there’s next to no replayability factor for Pac-Pix. There’s really no need to go back and challenge a chapter you’ve already completed, and once beating the game, Pac-Pix may indeed grow a nice dust layer on top.
