    The music is where the game really rocks. While it won't be for everyone, if you're into trance and techno you'll be in love with the game.

    Sure, the graphics that I fell in love with are still there, but why'd they have to make this game so damn hard?

    Quite impressive in the visuals department. Backgrounds, boats, weapons, explosions and characters are all quite detailed, and the little things like Kai turning to look back when you go in reverse are really neat.

    Unlike current RPGs that seem to be basking in the straight forwardness and over doing the story elements, Wizardry instead gives you one of the longest and biggest dungeons you will ever face.

    What could cause such a winning formula to fall from grace? Camera... the bane of third party titles everywhere. And Obi Wan throws out all over-the-shoulder camera conventions and makes a totally static, completely uncontrollable camera.

    This game looks marvelous. Playing it honestly feels like you are in an interactive episode of the cartoon.

    This game just sucks. Avoid at all costs. In fact, don't even pretend that this exists.

    This is the single most graphically impressive console game to date, hands-down.

    What makes this game rise above its humble beginnings are the tons of unlockable characters and the six different environments.

    Oh my god. I thought the Game.com version of Mortal Kombat was bad. That can't hold a torch to this log.

    Max Payne will quickly rank as a favorite for most action gamers. This one's not for the kiddies though, as it is loaded with blood, killing, and dead babies. Enjoy.

    Translation wise, the game seems geared toward the Dragon Ball crowd, with brash conversations and lots of street corner language, which doesn't quite fit the mood or visual atmosphere of the game.

    Looks nearly identical to Squaresoft's game ["Final Fantasy Tactics"]. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but visuals is about the only area where Hoshigami stays on par with FFT.

    But what really makes SSX Tricky a great reissue is the trick system. Before, where squatting in preparation to jump locked you into a straight line, now you can turn when using the analog stick.

    Surprisingly compelling story, expectedly terrible gameplay.

    Yes, this game has the power to rip families apart, it's that cool. With nice graphics, violence, swearing, and Matrix-style camera angles galore, this is a must-have for action game fans.

    There's no loading time, ever, and you can always see some part of the map, fully animated, from where you currently are. It's a neat trick that isn't fully realized until you a few hours into playing.

    If you're a Mega Man fan, then you've already purchased the game and have been playing to your hearts content. You can move on to other parts of the web-site.

    When the players walk back to the huddle in between plays they walk like robots or like they forgot to go to the bathroom before they went out on the field.

    The graphics are great, the sound is great, and gosh darn it if the game is just a blast to play with different quest challenges and various hidden characters to unlock.

    The most amazing thing about this game is that the controls are incredibly simple while the gameplay is quite detailed.

    With all this brilliance, it would be easy to overlook the sound in the game, but this is one of the high points of the makeover.

    If you're a Crazy Taxi or Simpsons fanatic, this game will definitely appeal to you. If you don't care much about either, don't bother.

    I won't lie. I had fun with this game, especially considering it was better paced than the game it copied, "Time Crisis: Project Titan." If you can look past a painfully ugly presentation, you'll be treated to a fun romp in the old west

    Occasionally you'll get the chance to move on and actually fight monsters, but it seems like forever and a day in between those moments.

    The main control issue for the game is landing. Unlike the skateboarding games, which allow a little bit of error, there's no room for it in Dave Mirra.

    You'll be grinding your teeth every few minutes as you realize the difficulty that Acclaim has sunk into this thing. It's one of those racers where you need to be pretty much perfect each time, as well as constantly upgrading your vehicle.

    The LucasArts console curse is officially over. Oh yeah. Jar Jar is nowhere to be found.

    The game doesn't look anywhere near Xbox quality, and trying to perform some simple tasks like jumping a platform or climbing a rock may take several tries because our hero can't latch onto them on the first try.
