    In the end the single player blows, online is fun, and the replayability is lessened by the lack of complexity. It’s a very uninvolved RTS.

    Addictive battle system.

    Take one part classic Call of Duty scripted FPS action, add in two parts improved level design, another one part updated graphics, and just about four parts upgraded multiplayer and you've got the ultimate Call of Duty stew.

    The game is fun, but it has some tedious parts such as the helicopter stage or the parts where you are on top of the small ship. So if you want some good boss and mini-boss fights then this game is for you.

    But those who’ve played Outrun 2 and found themselves bored of it after a few days will find nothing here to reignite the flame.

    If you want Tony’s latest upgrade then go for it, but if you’re looking for complete reinvention of the series you might want to hold out until next year.

    The game isn't bad, but it's really nothing special.

    It's a great multi-player game, but single player can get very tedious.

    For the hardcore there’s not much here that you’ll be playing for more than an hour other than the training mode which gives you a lot of challenges but ultimately falls flat.

    A very average to mediocre game that’s held together by a good story and cast. [JPN Import]

    If you’re looking for a quick trip down memory lane or just a seriously intense shooter with a really funny backdrop them Smash TV might be worth your while. On the other hand you might want to just save that $5 for tax on Oblivion or some other game you’re likely to get way more than a couple hours worth of gameplay out of.

    A great addition to the series for fans and probably a decent rental for most. While things have been upgraded and new elements added on, it's still NFS and it still gets repetitive and boring after a while. It's like EA's "Madden" of racing.

    It tries to be a big free roaming blockbuster but ultimately fails on too many accounts to make it what it wants to be.

    There’s a ridiculous amount of replayability and for those looking for a good deal in the length department you won’t be disappointed. Honestly it does grow on you and can turn out to be a great purchase or rental if look past all its many shortcomings.

    So honestly if you want to play this game to the fullest grab a Dreamcast, four controllers, and a copy of "Power Stone 1 & 2" as this port isn’t worth a damn unless you people to play with.

    Maybe it was the developer switch or maybe it’s just that the Wii controls don’t fit the game, but SSX Blur is unfortunately a clunker. That being said, if you can get past the controls there is a ton of content to experience and unlock.

    A craptastic game. But if you're a fan of the movies you'll still enjoy it to some degree even though the idiots over at Shiny decided not to put the freeway scene from Reloaded in the game.

    Blurry textures, low polygon counts, and not much scenery to fill the background about sum it up. Fortunately you’ll be racing so fast you mostly won’t see this stuff.

    A solid if not heavily flawed title with the best online capabilities of any PSP title to date. So if you can get past the controls and the pacing this might be an ok purchase for you.

    If I would recommend one of the two, I’d say get the DS version, but to be safe get none of those two and go for one of the console versions.

    It’s not the best RPG out there, far from that. But it’s still pretty fun o play, although it might need some getting used to.

    Overall the gameplay is pretty forgettable and is only saved by the interesting ideas presented online. [JPN Import]

    The graphics look horrendous at ever[y] angle especially in HD and really made the entire game unplayable because I felt like my eyes were melting.

    Shin Budokai is miles better than Budokai 1 and 2. It still suffers a bit from being too simplistic, but still features much more depth than DBZ B1 and B2.

    I guess the biggest surprise of EDF3 is that the graphics are actually amazing. The character models, enemy models, the sprawling city, and all the textures look great. The effects are crap and the physics are laughable but the city as a static object looks amazing. [JPN Import]
