The game blends the best aspects of puzzle games with a twist of action and adventure, leaving gamers with a constant desire to play and control.

The addition of several features and planes, such as Multiplayer, ATC, Auto Generated Scenery, and the Cessna Caravan Amphibian certainly make the game much more interesting than previous versions.

An intriguing game to behold, making it almost as fun to watch and listen to as it is to play. But what makes this game an essential to any true gamers’ library is that it’s cool to its cel-shaded 2D/3D roots.

I just can't say enough about the graphics in this game either. After you play all the way throuugh this game, you will not be able to say that you did not get your money's worth.

Solidifies its place as one of the best multiplayer experiences available.

Without multiplayer, this game is great. With multiplayer, it’s amazingly fun. Definitely worth getting.

A great bit of gaming that should be enjoyed instead of rushed so make sure you explore the whole game because it will all be over too soon. I guess all wonderful things come in small packages.

The only real complaint to be found is the game’s length, as it must be completed in a specified period of time, thirty of Olimar’s days.

A decent RPG where you can indeed actually advance your character and choose one of many paths through the story.

I feel Chrono Trigger is the bigger reason for purchasing Final Fantasy Chronicles. It has a huge quest and darn near endless replayability.

A definite must for racing fans who don't have the similar "NASCAR 4" and for hardcore gamers who want the latest tracks and don't care about the price tag.

The fighting engine is awesome. The graphics are awesome. The characters' moves are awesome. This game just plain kicks ass.

Both the graphics and audio seal the deal with stellar performances. From the environments, to the voice-overs, to the cutscenes, Jade Empire creates an entire experience that more then justifies its cost.

Truly the master of high-speed, high-fun racing. This is one of those games you run out to by a new system for.

Guild Wars is extremely pretty, with some amazing art design, an excellent graphics engine, and a unique glow system.

Although some graphical elements are not what they should be, others look amazing. In addition, there are eighteen different jets with assorted armaments available, and they all handle well.

At times MP is more movie than game, with stunning camera angles, jarring replays and an involved plot that not only moves the storyline along, it sets the tone for a hardcore action experience.

A game that not only redefines the stealth game genre, but a game that is destined to live on as a milestone in the evolution of gaming. What "Doom" did for the world of gaming in the early 90’s; Splinter Cell has done for the 00’s.

When you are in the middle of the action, it is intense and very entertaining.

An unqualified success, and in my opinion, should be a must have for any Xbox 360 owner.

The game has a strong storyline and screams play me.

This is a simulator in the truest sense. As I've mentioned innumerable times, this game is detailed and realistic. It does allow you to create races that are suited to your ability. Simply put, the better you get, the harder you make the racing.

Far Cry is, in everyway, the best first-person shooter I've ever played. From the sublime, deeply textured and truly immersive graphics to meaningful audio and the type of artificial intelligence that makes you question whether you really are playing against a computer - Far Cry heralds a new age of FPS with a game that is nearly perfect in everyway.

A worthy product with far more assets than shortcomings and a campaign game that will keep you playing.

Unbelievably detailed graphics that capture the entire NASCAR experience and earth shaking sound effects that still capture the guttural growls of high-performance engines.

Whether you're looking for a good adventure, or just a good laugh, beautiful animation, or great sound, there's something for everyone in this game. It is an excellent value, and will certainly become a gaming classic.

Sega Sports has made a few tweaks and improvements that push WSB 2K3 into a class all by itself.

Combines tight control and frantic game play with stunning audio/visuals that scream next-generation from start to finish.

The characters appear to have a depth I've never seen before.

If you can find the dedication to truly reap the enjoyment out of Gran Turismo, it’s every bit as addictive as the other games are. Racing perfection it is not, but it’s pretty close.

Aurally, your ears are in for a treat, as it’s simply enjoyable to play through these songs, dropping bricks along the way.

An excellent game and one that you should seriously consider purchasing if only for the sheer amount of fun.

It was a little slow at times and the control issues were frustrating, but the great story, incredible atmosphere and just plain creepiness made it all worthwhile.

It's as addictive as some illegal substances and 5 times more fun.

Even though the characters aren’t as customizable as some other games, I found myself more involved molding each one so I don’t necessarily think this is a hindrance.

One of the top five games for the PlayStation 2, look no further. NBA Street is really that good.

A must-play for any simulation fans. I enjoyed the campaign levels and spent many a late night striving to get that last load in for the gold star achievement.

The in game fighting in Soul Blade is where the game really shines. There is little lag time between button selections and the execution of the desired move. The characters move very fluidly and quite fast.

With solid gameplay and well executed online features, it is safe to say Top Spin has supplanted "Virtua Tennis" as the tennis leader and the series will be around for some time.

This game absolutely rocks, with a significant exception being the relative shortness of each track.

The real highlight however is the improvement to the graphics engine. The scenery is improved along with general detail enhancements but the weather system is quite remarkable.

The number of tracks mixed in with the brilliance in design should keep you playing for quite awhile. You may not have the patience to try and unlock all 300 cars, you should find more than enough replay value just trying to learn the different driving techniques for the different cars.

Arcade mavens, it’s a no-brainer, buy it now. However, I can’t help but think that for hardcore sim fans the over-the-top antics may be just a bit too much.

The deep and challenging gameplay will have you playing this game for weeks.

FEAR is an unqualified success in my opinion, as it creates a good, stressful, horrific environment that doesn’t quite jump you out of your seat as creep you out.

The actual game is absolutely solid, but it's the charm, humor, and inventive environments that'll win you over time and time again.

Does not boast any huge spectacular changes from "Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings," but gives a lot of great little extras.

The appeal of online warfare with this attention to the extras (turrets and vehicles) makes this an awesome online gaming experience.

The cinematic animations are outstanding, dramatic and funny. Even the voice-over acting is really good.

Everything is gorgeous from the city streets to the cars themselves, it’s definitely eye candy (at least running at 1080i).

The worlds are visually wonderful and detailed. While the game is somewhat linear and task oriented, the worlds have an openness about them so that you don’t feel trapped like you do in many games.

Beyond any doubt, Red Faction has the best control, look, gameplay, and weapon variety I’ve ever seen in a console based FPS, and it definitely shows.

The most significant difference in this latest Sega hockey game is the graphics, really the only weak point in the last edition. Where once clunky uninspired graphics were the norm, now, well-rendered motion capture and realistic athletes put the final polish on an over-the-top game that excels in its field.

The graphics are stunning. I can honestly say this one area where this game leaves all the rest in the dust.

Shogo not only provides the action, it does it with a plot and an artistic flair not often seen in today's games.

If these are the types of games we can expect to see coming to the PSP, Nintendo is going to see their market dwindle away.

It’s all been done expertly, with huge, sprawling worlds that offer up a bevy of unique and engaging missions.

The audio only helps build the chilling atmosphere, and in the end, helps give it some of the frightening body that most people want from a more horror driven title.

It is easily the best fighting game to ever be released on handheld and is every bit as enjoyable as its console and arcade counterparts.

This title isn't perfect, is a bit too short, and doesn't always have the best controls.

A welcome extension of Rise of Nations, a near-perfect mesh of the familiar oblique-overhead map "real time" tactics and turn-based strategy.

A fitting completion to the Baldur's Gate "trilogy," but was slightly disappointing to this reviewer due to the shorter amount of playing time available for the main game itself (around 25-30 hours).

A complete package, giving a remarkable performance in almost every aspect of the game.

I absolutely love this game.

While it is a great game, it doesn't rate top honors due to the many issues with Battle.net and flaky support for Windows 2000.

The game engine has been redone and handles like a dream. It actually reminded me of "Moto Racer" except in cars instead of on motor bikes.

SSX Tricky has amazing graphics, hands down. There aren’t any weather effects in the game, but that’ll hardly be noticed with the amazing level design and diverse textured backgrounds.

But if you manage to look beneath the skin of this frightener you'll find sub par artificial intelligence, a laughable plot, and the same play mechanics found in the now very dated original.

If you’re looking for something to suck the greater part of your life away this is the game for you.

It's easy to pick up, great to look at, and has plenty of variation to keep it interesting.

Since there's so much interesting information in the game, some drudgery and a lot of time spent reading statistically-based screens and news about what's happening in other parts of the world, your basic playability is bound to suffer.

With the stunning graphics, super-fun co-op mode, and intelligent and seamless interface, you won’t be worrying about the storyline until well after you’ve finished shooting fireballs at the last of the frost giants.

Although the single player campaign is a little disappointing, the multiplayer features and fabulous gameplay, combined with stunning visuals, make MechWarrior 4 nearly an instant classic.

The expansion is so packed with new features, creatures, classes and items that you could mistake it for a new game.

I wish its storylines were more compelling, but since it has beautiful graphics, easy controls and decent sound, I guess three out of four isn't bad.

Matches the scope of the "GTA" games but still manages to look incredible. Jak II is heavily detailed, highly stylized, and holds a lot of personality.

The abundance of customization featured in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and the myriad types of battles makes this game a definite keeper.

Certainly one of the best new Mario games to come to market in recent years, blending the best of many of Nintendo's game types into something that is a blast to play and varied enough to capture and keep your attention from beginning to end.

I like it so very much and wish there was more to do once I made it through the 16 tracks. Buy this game, enjoy it and then sell it for the latest and greatest from the Big N.

With excellent graphics, strong gameplay, and top-notch design, this is definitely one of my favorites of 2001.

It should leave the most seasoned adventurer hungering for more. The hack-and-slash battles and the progressive storyline should keep the most demanding RPGer happy.

Driving these cars is both a challenge and a joy. The physics handle realistically enough that you won’t be cursing every time you spin out.

Excellent controls, easy on the eye graphics, killer soundtrack and a challenging adventure mark this as this year's best Xbox game (so far).

The original storyline combined with innovative new ideas for RTS games will even keep the interest of players not historically attracted to this genre.

Without a doubt, even with a few minor problems, this is one of my favorite titles of this year.

With great multiplayer (I mean, it’s a sports game, so it figures), and a wealth of different gameplay options, this is a title that should keep you entertained for a good long while.

Graphics don't make a game, but when they are outdated enough to cause a distraction, you know it is a time for an upgrade.

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I've never been so addicted to a shooter. Maybe it's the fact the game keeps hammering me, but I can't get enough. I can't tell you how many times I muttered "this is ridiculous" or "you've got to be kidding" while playing the game, but I still love it.

With a plethora of additions, oodles of tweaks and plenty of game balancing, this is a must have expansion packs and likely one of the best to come along in years.

Given the style of this game, there should have been better analog controller support.

I thought the real time battles and weapons upgrade system was pretty good, but didn’t like the fact that you need to repair your weapons so often.

Just fun, mostly enhanced by its multiplayer mode. It’s definitely worth it.

Feed the dog, kiss the wife goodbye, and tell work that you’re very ,very sick then start playing Commandos 2, and don’t blame me when you’re staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night thinking about how you could have completed the mission a better way.

The simplicity of the controller functions, along with a decent soundtrack, combine to make a great game for a low price.

Much broader in scope and storyline than was its predecessor. There is much more to see and do in this game. Best of all, the much-maligned time limit from Fallout is absent.

Aside from the grainy graphics, imprecise controls and somewhat strange puzzles, this game is pure horror fun.

Detailed textures, weather effects, realistic explosions all put together a solid performance. The only issue I had was some slow down issues when too much was going on.

In my opinion this game ranks along side of "Metal Gear Solid" and "Deus Ex." This is a must buy for the avid gamer and even if you don’t care for adventure games it should be rented just to see how well the PS2 can pipe out graphics.
