A game that is only decent looking, doesn't sound very good, and plays well as long as you stay away from the higher difficulty levels.

While the expansion doesn't drastically change the core elements, its additions to the gameplay make Cossacks much more enjoyable by opening up more strategic options.

Essentially just a slightly better version of the original game.

Its polished interface, accessible gameplay, and exceptional graphics make Dungeon Siege a first-rate action RPG.

Highly playable and cleverly designed.

Looks and sounds good, but it just doesn't offer the depth that most gamers are looking for.

The game's optimal target audience would be younger players looking for an easygoing shooter, but the M rating and abundance of swastikas pretty much excludes the majority of this group, save for those with open-minded parents.

It's really to New World Computing's credit that the developer was able to incorporate so many new and interesting features into this sequel while still making sure it kept all the core elements that made all the previous games so great.

It has all of the same ingredients that made the earlier releases so popular, but the excitement is gone, and what once felt new and energetic is now old and tired.

If you've discovered a fishing game that you enjoy, then there's really no reason to try this one, since you'll have undoubtedly seen it all before, and seen it done better elsewhere.

It almost perfectly captures the gameplay of the PS2 version...If you don't have a gamepad, get one for it.

It's an idea that has been tried before and done better.

It certainly looks great, and it can be fun.

The smart control scheme virtually eliminates the control problems inherent in RTS console games, and the varied mission objectives keep the game engaging all the way through.

It also features some subtle but important improvements to the original gameplay that make Ghost Recon a more polished and enjoyable game as a whole.

It just doesn't come close to being on the same level as some of the competing sports titles on other platforms.

There is no other contemporary jet sim as complete, polished, and faithful to its subject matter as Flanker 2.5, which is arguably the best contemporary jet sim.

An exceptional Star Wars action game that contains some of the best combat sequences since "Half-Life," the most distinctive control mechanics since "Max Payne," and the most involving plot in a Star Wars game since Jedi Knight.

Fans of arcade-style tennis games like "Virtua Tennis" or "Smash Court" will probably find the gameplay in WTA Tour Tennis a bit sluggish, and the lack of variety in the modes doesn't help the game's case, either.

It's just not very distinctive.

It ultimately succeeds at creating a believable, open-ended game environment while telling a focused and memorable story, which makes Deus Ex well suited for anyone who's played through enough conventional action games or role-playing games to forgive its shortcomings in light of its great achievements.

It certainly doesn't maintain the same level of quality as the main games in the Rayman series, but it can prove to be a decent diversion for a short period of time.

While Hooters: Road Trip is quite bad graphically, its controls are even worse.

Quite easy. The only really difficult spots in the game are the few instances where it's unclear what you're supposed to do next.

A racing game that is easy to control but extremely difficult.

A thoroughly second-rate action game.

Kind of like having to eat a banana split with your hands--just because it's a little sloppy doesn't mean it isn't still good...One of the deepest and most satisfying multiplayer tactical shooters currently available.

A rental is definitely advised for those who are not already familiar with the series.
