The game became old as soon as I placed it into the drive and started it up.

Gameplay can frustrate some, but for all that spend the time to learn the nuances and to learn the feel of the game will not be disappointed.

As it stands it's a poorly put together title that is just a good-looking, rotten apple.

A great game, Genma falters in that its short, repetitive and just plain gets old rather fast. After all, it is old. After playing Capcom's latest for the PS2, "Devil May Cry," Genma really only made me want to go back and play that game yet another time due to the game's similarities and the fact that DMC is obviously a superior game.

There are of course boss battles, and a (very) few puzzles to solve, but overall, it's basic spell casting over and over again. This limited gameplay styling ultimately is the downfall to Nightcaster.

The amount of detail displayed by the player models will simply astound you. Players look exactly like themselves from head to toe.

The graphics of NFL 2K2 are the only aspect of the game that lags behind just a bit.

With an amazingly good-looking package and an incredibly fun game in both the single and multiplayer modes, Blood Wake is a truly excellent Xbox game.

Although Obi Wan sounds like a duck with a rock in his throat, it was funny and other voice acting sounded pretty much as it should.

Despite being filled with tired cliches Max Payne is one of the most engrossing games released this year for the Xbox.

The formula of solid gameplay, plus solid sound and controls makes for a hell of a hockey game.

It lacks the initial "grab" that the original had, but after a couple of courses, you're hooked on this new drug, and you won't want to stop.

Overall, the game is fun to play, if lacking in certain technical areas.

The trick system is easy but limited, a flaw that should not have happened. All in all this game is a good buy.

A must own for fans of the space combat genre, or Star Wars fans.

The game demands a certain passion for the action/adventure genre, old and new and school alike. It also requires some time, some patience, and then some more time.

The graphics in F1 2001 are definitely some of the best I've seen in a Formula 1 game. Incredibly high-resolution textures populate everything from the tires on all of the cars to the steering wheels that your driver attempts to tame throughout the course of the race.

The levels are not timed - in those that require you to meet a set point limit; it is very easy to just perform the same move over and over again to get the necessary score. The lack of difficulty in certain areas drops the replayability.

I don't know about you, but any of the NBA games I watch on TV there is some defense happening on the court. No lie, I played NBA Live 2002 on the hardest setting and still burned the opposing team by over 30 points. The AI in this game has some serious issues.

The graphics are very good and the story is original...I would have expected better. The dialogue and music bring the game down.

I could hardly play this game for 5 minutes without getting bored; there is just no "fun factor."

Despite the lack of bots in Halo (something that I was extremely displeased with when I heard the news) the multiplayer aspect of the game can be extraordinarily exhilarating.

A blast from the moment you pick up the controller and turn your Xbox on till the moment you turn the game off and put the controller down.

From the music to the finer details, TransWorld Surf allows you to really immerse yourself in the environment. The music soundtrack is very well done and probably one of the best I have seen in any game.

Perhaps one of the biggest improvements over previous incarnations of Tony Hawk would be the soundtrack...Now you can skate to whoever it is that gets you in mood, be it the Ramones, Black Flag, or Color Me Badd.

Simply put, it's just plain fun, and I couldn't stop playing. The game plays great, but the only drawback to this is there aren't that many different modes.

This isn't the kind of game that will hold your attention for an hour, and if you have that much time to kill, there are plenty of other games out there to be enjoyed, both solo and multiplayer.

Does Project Gotham Racing topple the PS2 giant? Not quite, but it's still one hell of a game.

While the game did have its fun occasions, I was more disappointed then anything else.

Graphics are great, not many complaints there - except the issue of clipping.

Perhaps the greatest drawback to Mad Dash Racing is the interface, which can be confusing at times.

The graphics, sound, and gameplay are all dismal at best.

With better graphical flare than many of today's simulation and arcade sports titles, Hitz not only boasts more arcade action but also dishes it on fun platters one after another.

I couldn't play this game for long. The difficulty level, even on easy, with the A.I. can become so frustrating that you just want to put the game down.
