    Sure the expansion could have been used to fix a few minor bugs, but Big Huge Games obviously focused on new features and campaigns, rather than building a "patch you have to pay for."

    On a final note, the menu looks amazing. I know it really doesn't matter that much, but it really does. And it's customize-able! And that's not a bad thing. It's a good thing.

    In the Xbox's version, everything is silky smooth, while the PS2's is marred by jaggies...Aside from the annoying Xbox controller..., this is the version of the game to have for any true Tony Hawk fan.

    Like the visuals, the sounds rock the house. Besides the incredibly great soundtrack, the sound effects are some of the best around.

    An absolutely fabulous game that is nothing but fun from start to finish. And as an extra bonus it is family friendly. No blood, not wound and no death.

    It has graphics that match, if not pass the PS2 version thanks to a lack of jaggies...Controller aside, it just felt better than the PS2 version.

    This is that fresh breath of air that the system needed so badly.

    The perfect game for people who like the "Resident Evil" look and feel, but find the slow moving story and action to be a little boring and tedious.

    For a real visual treat, pop it into a Nintendo DS and enjoy the game with true backlighting.

    Every song has a Basic and Trick mode, so no matter what the age of the player, everyone should be able to shake a booty or two while playing.

    It was the first game on the system, and regretfully, it was also the only great game for the system that could stand the test of time.

    It's the kind of game that makes you want to go out and buy a geeky t-shirt or a pocket protector with the logo Prominently displayed on to let the world know that you love this game.

    The game is funny. REALLY funny. It makes fun of itself, of typical Japanese RPG conventions, even of Heaven and Hell. Disgaea is the best game of its type to come along in a long while.

    After a day of intense gaming with the Coagulation Cabal, it is clear the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack is a welcome addition for the Halo 2 player and will help keep the multiplayer experience fresh for some time to come.

    The best parts of the graphics are all the taunts and celebrations the players do in between plays, and there are plenty.

    A wonderful new edition to the SmackDown! family, serving up slick graphics, vastly enhanced gameplay, and lots of other bells and whistles that make the whole package shine. Online play is a bit of a disappointment, but better than not having any online play at all.

    While the graphical presentation is more of the same in Vice City, the sound effects and music have been vastly improved.

    Quite possibly is the best N64 game ever. Forget "Golden Eye," "Perfect Dark," and "Zelda"...they don't even compare to Conker's.

    While PlanetSide isn't a perfect experience, and will be in development for the life cycle of the product (as most decent online games tend to be), it is nonetheless and addictive, frantic and rewarding experience for gamers that enjoy action peppered with some "RPG lite" elements.

    It has some small flaws and is not quite the open, never-ending quest that the game's hype would have had us believe, but a play through is well worth the gamer's time. And perhaps at least two times through: once as the ultimate do-gooder and once as a tyrant that would make Hitler blush.

    Made very well, however it requires 3 players or more to be some serious fun.

    Sadly it just misses true greatness because its benefit to cost ratio just does not balance. At half its price I'd give it the big five sharks without hesitation.

    If you were a fan of the first game, you are sure to like the new installment.

    ASB shines in every aspect, from its detailed, lifelike graphics to the in-depth stat tracking. All of the character animations are silky smooth.

    It's an addictive romp into a time long past that keeps many gamers begging for more.

    A true work of art.

    PlayStation 2 owners that would rather pluck out their eyes than own an Xbox will want to get this game.

    I just wish there were a melee attack so I could finally bludgeon an Ewok to death with the butt of my blaster.

    The graphics are top notch, the sounds and vocals are excellent. Mission planning, weapon details, multiplayer scenarios, everything is just rock solid.

    Replay value is enormous, the game is a blast to play even though the main story mode is over relatively quick.
