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

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.

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.

The submissions and grapples system is the best out there.

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

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

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

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

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.

It's one hell of a good time.

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

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.

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

The controls are rock solid.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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