The quintessential RTS game.

The gameplay also is fun but can be a little cumbersome trying to remember all hotkeys. All in all the game is exceptionally fun and well worth playing.

Folks looking for a classic gaming excursion with a new, polish façade will find much enjoyment in this finely crafted point-and-click adventure.

Simply put, there is no reason to buy this game when there are two other superior basketball games on the Xbox.

To put it bluntly, I needed to force myself to play this piece of unpolished drivel. First, the control has the most atrocious interface I have ever had the displeasure to witness.

A larger and spicier serving of GTA3 with some minor, though beneficial, trimmings.

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

While it appears to be ridiculous, I found it to be the most entertaining game I have played in a long while.

Graphics were great and were perhaps the best aspect of the title, all except for those arthritis-like frame-rates.

I have played a lot of flight simulation games; this one definitively gives you more control over the fate of the world than any I have played before.

While not all of the gameplay is captivating, I honestly enjoyed the battle mode as much as I enjoy multiplayer "Bust-A-Move," and that is a high compliment indeed.

The revamped gameplay manages to stay fresh, but is still able to keep that special something that made the original game so engrossing.

It's tedious, frustrating, poorly designed, lacks any sort of graphical flair, and is all but guaranteed to induce boredom within the first ten minutes, never mind the approximately two hours it takes to finish the game.

It is the best RPG experience you can find on Xbox to date (sorry "Morrowind," you were impressive, but you were just not that much fun).

It’s very strong on concept and not so strong on the actual gameplay.

The graphics are only average and the gameplay is plagued by a couple of nasty control issues.

It’s not easy to learn and it looks about as pretty as a doggy chew toy. If you’re a sim freak, you’ll love it.

The graphics are superb, the gameplay is fun and the overall package is amazing.

The sophisticated AI and epic gun battles keeps the gameplay exciting even though there are a few poor level designs.

Fighting games need deep, balanced gameplay to rise to the top, but X-Men: Next Dimension is severely hampered by shallow, unbalanced fighting action.

By far the wildest and craziest party game to hit a console system and is a must have replacement title for players who like "Crash Bandicoot," "Super Smash Brothers" or "Fuzion Frenzy" style games.

Gameplay is solid, fun, and addictive. On the other hand, graphics-though they are fresh-could have been better.

Because of this control scheme, moving your sub is a constant frustration, as positioning your sub is very hard, and precise movements are damn near impossible.

This generation of gamers may overlook this gem in the rough due to its rather hideous outward appearance. Sure this game is repetitive, but it serves as a great distraction and provides some downright wholesome fun.

It took me about ten hours to play all the way through this game, and if I had not been fighting the controls and camera, I would have finished in half the time.

A masterpiece within its time.

The environments are full of life.

The game’s mediocre gameplay is accentuated by a lack of variety. Simplicity is essential for puzzle gameplay, yet TTA takes simplicity to the point of monotony.
