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.
