This isn't for the serious hardcore fighter, though there is plenty here to like, but with the campy humor many may be put off.

The over emphasis on action and less emphasis on using your wits drags it down to a pretty standard evolution of the Tomb Raider formula.

The idea behind it was brilliant, but the execution drug it right out of innovative and right into mediocrity.

Adding some variety would have been nice. As it is, what puzzles are in the game are average, and running around collecting things gets rather tiring after a few levels.

The addition of online play, coupled with the flexibility of the fighting styles makes for a surprisingly deep arcade fighter.

Some of the best money I have ever spent on an Xbox game.

Other visual effects are absolutely horrid, such as driving through water. I expected a little bit more polish environmentally.

The control scheme can be a bit difficult to get used to at first, but thanks to Battle Engine Aquila's instructive tutorial, the whole becomes extremely easy, extremely fast.

One of those games that keeps sucking me back in to play on harder levels or try to get farther in the alternate missions.

One of those Xbox games that couldn't be done on another console without comprimising quality.

The difficult AI (thankfully adjustable with the difficulty levels) helps to keep things challenging (and at times frustrating) while the story keeps the player hooked and coming back for more.

The game is an amazing hockey simulation with great artificial intelligence and online play as well as an acceptable graphics and sound department make NHL 2K3 the absolute best hockey title available.

The game developers have setup one of the best fighting systems this side of the original Mortal Kombat but the aspect where MK: DA truly excels greater then any fighter that I have played on the Xbox is depth.

Does rather well on all fronts, but even so, doesn't really have an element that makes it stand out from the crowd around it.

Combining slick graphics, beautiful voice-overs, a great single player experience and a wide array of punches, characters and arenas, Rocky categorizes itself as one of the best boxing games ever created.

The amount of gadgets that work their way into the game is absolutely staggering, the feeling of playing James Bond will most definitely enter the minds of some gamers.

Once you get by all of the sex, drugs, alcohol, and profanity you'll notice that there is an actual BMX game underneath with fairly inventive level design and some solid gameplay mechanics that actually would have amounted to a fun game had it not been bogged down by so much profane material.

The lack of options, modes and moves makes what could have been a decent game something to pass up. There is no excuse for this.

Simply spectacular.

A work of art that surpasses any mech game that I've ever played despite the lack of customization options.

Why this game didn't go through a more rigorous testing period is beyond me. There is no excuse for some of the bugs in this game, especially the visuals.

It's one hell of a good time.

The excessive amount of FMV movies in the story mode is something that really hampers the enjoyment.

A totally different game from the original. It doesn't matter how similar the gameplay of both versions is, it's the little (and big) additions like a Dynasty Mode and a Create-A-Player feature that makes the titles a pole apart.

Solid in every aspect, with a few outstanding features (audio, some of the level designs).

Without a doubt one of the greatest games ever, regardless of console.

There's more under the hood than a simple half hour of shooting. Sure, the game is short, but with all of the extras included, the shelf life of this game extends longer than many other releases on the market.

The primary gameplay is fun, a very creative and enjoyable diversion, but it doesn't go anywhere. It simply doesn't lend itself to a continuously evolving experience.

Digital crack, plain and simple.

Everything is low quality and repetitive, you'll throw the game down in a number of minutes.

Sadly the lack of multiplayer support and any kind of depth beyond the two playable races really hamper the game's lastability.

Amazing visuals, strong audio, great depth both single player and multiplayer wise, beautiful presentation and solid all around gameplay makes Deathrow one of the hottest and most underrated titles of the year.

The graphics also suffer from the ever plaguing problem of graphical slowdown which occurs at almost every turn.

One of the biggest issues I had was with the rigid clunky feel to the characters. Punches and kicks didn't seem to flow correctly.

Truly shines in the multiplayer modes. Bleeped out swear words and barely covered naughty bits definitely put this in the "not for kids" category.

The graphics are standard, the gameplay is far too simulation for my liking and the frustration level is higher then in any basketball game that I've ever played before.

It is quite simply the best multiplayer value you can find anywhere. That's including the all mighty "Halo."

When it comes down to it, no Xbox owner should go without at least trying the video game industry's very first four-dimensional product.

The action and espionage genre come together in this game, and come together in a most impressive form.

The horrid controls as well as the soddy graphical design and the wretched artificial intelligence all make this title a rent at best.

A bit on the short side, but it's a satisfying game nonetheless.

A deep, involving adventure in the land of Middle Earth. However, that adventure was filled with too much yawns to make it a definite stay in my collections.

The depth in this game is really great - and not just in replay value.

The game is horrible.

If you are patient and you are a hard core strategy gamer then you really cant go wrong with Commandos 2.

The frustrating camera angles and lack of any real replay value hurt this title considerably.

Cel-shading is average, voice acting is nothing more then decent, but the lack of save points and frustrating, repeated gameplay spoils it all.

Graphics, control, and sound all perform excellently without hiccups of any kind.

With a few more customization options and some robust (and online) multiplayer options, this could be the premiere series in the genre.

Easily the most enjoyable hockey game I have played in ages.

Those interested in recreating some Looney Tune action should definitely look into picking this title up, especially with some of the extras that are included on the disc (classic clips, artwork, etc.) that are unlocked as the game progresses.

The right mixture of intrigue, fright, and gore make for the best survival/horror game currently out for the Xbox.

The game features quality graphics, sound, controls, and options but doesn't really sign above the competition in any of the aforementioned categories.

Horrid artificial intelligence.

The game's smooth turnover from third-person shooting to almost flight simulation makes gameplay quick and exciting.

Short of a grand slam, but it still makes its presence felt.

Despite the fact that this looks like a PS2 game and has come control and camera issues, the story (and the execution of it) are stellar.

Because of its simplicity, it doesn't take much sports knowledge to pick up and play, and that's a major reason why I loved it.

It's the best of the best folks, it's got everything that the other guys don't and more.

Namco threw in everything except the kitchen sink in terms of gameplay, and DTR suffers for it.

A half assed attempt at a college football game that is only playable because it has so much of "NFL 2K3" enrooted in its core.

The type of game where if someone doesn't like the general idea, keeping interested could be a horrifying task.

If not for the tough level progression we might have been talking about this game in a completely different (and much happier) light.

Combining great graphics, humorous concepts, vast amounts of game modes, and its shares of improvements on the 2002 version, NFL Blitz 2003 managed to satisfy my every need for the fall football season.

A rehashed version of last year's game is about all you'll find in this latest installment of a still-promising game.

Short and not so sweet.

If you know you have the patience for long load times and like destruction derby, then the game is very rewarding.

The controls are mediocre, the graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is sub par, yet another occasion where graphics DO NOT make a game great.

Aggressive Inline is stunning! There's no other way to say it.

Despite the lack of multiplayer and user soundtracks (two glaring oversights), the game is highly enjoyable to newcomers as well as veterans to the series.

With mind numbingly repetitive game play and graphics that look like they could have been done on the Atari Jaguar, you have the makings of a very disappointing title for all true fighting game fans.

With a respectable amount of tracks and a good number of riders to choose from Splashdown delivers in almost every department for an extreme racing title.

It's the same gameplay, a few little background changes, a customizable soundtrack option and a couple new modes mixed into a big pot.

The crashes and A.I. can lean more towards frustration during some races, so if you have a temper you may not wish to play Test Drive for too long.

If you're a hard-core RPG fan and looking for a game that doesn't lead you by the nose like Final Fantasy then Morrowind is the game for you.

For the old timers, nostalgia is enough reason to pick this one.

The graphics, sound, and game play all do a great job of conveying the mood the game is trying to establish.

The lighting of this game rivals any on the Xbox. It's awesome to see skid marks from a previous lap remain in the same spot and to see falling rain clean off your tires and smudge up the camera for the game.

No other baseball title performs so well in so many departments - from visuals and animation to control and replayability. Clearly, the World Series Baseball franchise has regained the luster of its days on the Saturn.

Fun while it lasts (if you can get past how slow it is), but it doesn't last long.

P.S. to LucasArts - The Xbox has 4 controller ports and LAN capabilities…

There will be times when you get so frustrated you'll throw the controller down in frustration, but 5 minutes later you're picking it back because the game is not only challenging, but fun.

Sadly there isn't much there but what there is turns out to be really quite a fun ride.

Fun for the short amount of time it lasts.

While Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is a decent enough game, its main saving grace is the four player co-op play, something of a rarity.

It comes respectively close to being a good game...If they don't take off some of the theme music I'm going to go on a rampage.

Yet another game that could have been great but suffers from unimaginative development and bland mechanics.

The controls are rock solid.

An unprecedented, uninspiring, un-everything negative pile of digital garbage

The music fits the frantic pace of the game play and the menus and player taunts, grunts, and hits are all done very well.

Old school enthusiasts are virtually required to pick up a copy.

Just go get the game. Don't think, just run out and buy this game as quickly as possible.

Intense racing, easy controls...The best racer out on the Xbox.

This game is definitely for the multiplayer and that's what makes it enjoyable. If you're looking for solo-play action then you definitely need to look elsewhere.

The game is highly engrossing and playable, and more than makes up for the technical shortcomings.

The variety in gameplay is great, something for virtually everybody.

Exquisite...By far the best basketball game available on the Xbox.

JSRF is hipper and cooler than any game on the market. Other games are jealous, and rightfully so.
