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

Players who are able to overlook the games graphical problems will be well awarded with a deep and satisfying game.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A carefully crafted and outstanding racing experience.

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.

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

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

Multiplayer is definitely a weakness with Dark Summit, and hurts the replayability quite a bit.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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