Tries to avoid the woes of its predecessors by injecting some modern, albeit derivative, gameplay, but fails to really explore the platform it is built upon.

At its very heart, it’s Doom, and the graphics can be bad, the music can stink the place out, and the Cyber Demon can be taken out, but there’s still that sick satisfaction that comes with blowing up a ring of barrels around a group of demons and watching them explode into a pile of goo.

There’s just something about running and jumping that never gets old, and it’s precisely this indescribable “something” that, despite the outdated play mechanics and antiquated visuals, allows me to bestow a wholehearted recommendation upon Anniversary Collection.

Bright, colorful visuals relay a fast-paced shootout across several stages of intense first-person gameplay.

That's one of the beauties of a game like AC: there really isn't an end game, or a finale. The world just keeps going and going, with new adventures and new locations to explore constantly available.

While the improvements made to driving are welcome, as are the new courses and characters, the gameplay ultimately suffers due to poorly designed putting.

The dark and mature theme gave this game a distinctive feel and the graphics take the player in deep within the prison world.

It's biggest strength is its tutorial and teaching ability. The sheer knowledge of chess that can be gained by moving through the tutorials or by simply playing against the computer is amazing.

It doesn’t do much to further the genre.

While the average base capture can be pretty repetitive, there are huge difficult battles every so often that are more fun than anything, and these will keep me coming back for awhile.

An outstanding achievement in tactical action, Freedom Fighters soars to the top of the genre with spot-on gameplay and solid visuals. Streamlined tactical controls and solid AI make playing the game easy and fun.

The graphics are astounding, the levels are very clever.

The 3D environment works seamlessly, the graphics are above average, and the addition of fighting styles and currencies puts this over the top as being more than a rehashed fighter.

It's an all around feast for your eyes, ears, and gaming appetite.

The variety of options available made me enjoy this game more, but it balanced out with the not so great graphics and audio.

While not as deep as "Virtua Fighter 4," I actually found Dark Alliance much more entertaining.

It is a masterful piece of RTS gaming that will entrench those who dare to delve into it deep into the thrills of deep space combat. At first it is a little overwhelming with the ability to jump from one map to another. It is enough to lose a lot of players. But for the hardcore RTS fan this game will be a true gem.

If you are interested in solving a mystery and running down dangerous corridors then this is the game for you.

Only the most hardcore gamers will be able to look past the occasionally monotonous gameplay and poor audio and visuals to enjoy Shenmue II.

More so than any other game, it allows complete player-driven gameplay in the progression of the story and character development.

A remarkable peripheral.

It adds a lot of fun and magic, as well as some interesting new items and jobs to partake in.

While the graphics may not be ground breaking for either the PS2 or the Xbox game system they do provide players with a well represented city that is both visually stimulating and just plain fun to play in.

While hip-hop doesn’t necessarily speak for the entire sport of casual football players, the tough, offbeat style of football played in NFL Street does.

The lack of an epic, driving story prevents the game from achieving the greatness of other Final Fantasy games.

Lovers of Morrowind will love Tribunal, and simply should not go without it. The improved journal alone is worth the price of admission.

A giant leap ahead in the series offering players realistic terrain and well balanced units without the need to micromanage every aspect of the game system.

The dynamics of the game aren't bad, though they are certainly light on the pitching and heavy on the bat.
