Richly designed and well-balanced gameplay, adding new squad-based and tactical interfaces to an already complex style of play, Ghost Recon is the thinking man’s shooter.

With a slick combination of pleasing graphics, awesome music, huge environments to explore, and a killer combo control system, the game's replay value flies over the ramp and off the charts.

It is still a conventional RTS game and has issues with longevity as it can become boring and repetitive, but with the thirty missions and with multiplayer capabilities, you should get your money's worth.

Despite the ultra clean graphics, the boredom factor lies in wait for experienced gamers. I played through most of the Comanche 4 campaign missions in a few days. But, those were a good few days.

While [it] improves upon last year's version in almost every area, most of these improvements -- other than the additional (and much needed) modes of play -- are subtle rather than drastic. Thus, as a complete package, it still seems lacking.

If you're already a bona fide Sims addict, go out and buy this pack now. It's priced as low as $17 in some places and is definitely worth the money.

Chock full of 200 units from 14 Epochs and about 60,000 years of evolution, Empire Earth can't help but quench your thirst for ultra-realistic and incredibly encompassing strategy game play.

The overall structure of the game is pretty true to the show, which should please "Survivor" fans. However, the survival portions of the game are just plain boring and some of the challenges aren't much better.

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.

If you’re wearing body armor just before you start a new part of the plot, you’ll see your character wearing it in the cut-scene as well. I feel that this effect really adds to the suspension of disbelief in MGS2 and helps it be that much more impressive.

The end product may not be as flashy or brilliant as other titles, but it is fun. In the end, that's what matters.

Worth mentioning is the absolute best scenario/campaign editor encountered in any software.

I can't help but feel that it's the same kind of rushed-out crap that gets tossed into the bargain bin at your favorite game store just weeks after its release.

Given the graphics power of the PS2, the thing I found myself wanting the most were high quality character animations. CvS2 often looks just like the same old sprite fighters we’ve seen over the last few years.

The controls are simple enough to master that you shouldn't have to pause the game to look at the manual just to figure out how to pull off a stunt.

While this game is enjoyable, interesting, clever and even educational, its realism may be its weak point. If I haven’t impressed upon you enough, it’s a slow evolving, deliberate game requiring patience and intelligence.

It delivers solid gameplay that outperforms its predecessor in almost every aspect.

The controls are easy to learn, races are challenging without being unbeatably difficult, and the terrain is rich and varied.

A baby-step improvement, not a must-have for owners of the first game.

There are enough fundamental overhauls, most notably the begged-for housing, that the game is certainly worth a fresh look even from my weary eyes, jaded by almost two years of playing.

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.

There’s not anything earth-shatteringly new in Burnout, but overall it’s a lot of fun to play.

The best part of the game is definitely the atmospheric elements and the "straight out of the movie/series" aspect. The gameplay itself is ok, but is not groundbreaking by any means.

The biggest flaws come in the storyline and lack of new material, this game really fails to add anything interesting to the MechWarrior universe.

A remarkable game. It features a rich background that’s used fully in the involved and intricate plot and has fantastic graphics, voice acting and music that combine to deliver Raziel's and Kain's story to the player.

Poorly designed and terribly executed.

There are far better motocross games out there...it isn’t worthy of gracing the PlayStation 2.

They did a great job of setting the timer on some missions to the point where you will either succeed by a few seconds or lose by a few seconds.
