While it does a nice job graphically, elements such as the soundtrack and limiting gameplay may limit its success.

This game can get hard really quick. If players do not pay attention to all of the in game menus, tips, and book they will be left without a clue on what to do.

A must have for die-hard rally enthusiasts who enjoy the feel of a real driving simulation. Its lack of extra features will alienate casual racing fans, but the game is designed for gamers who appreciate the true racing feel that CMR3 brings to the Xbox.

Everblue 2 has terrific diving scenes, and you may find yourself enjoying that aspect over and over while forgetting about the actual missions, but tries to blend them into a story that is not that solid nor well told.

Those expecting a highly addictive party game in the same vein as Nintendo’s "Super Smash Brothers" will find nothing but disappointment, but all is not entirely bad.

Excellent graphics and sound, but may be spending too much time on that puzzle-heavy road.

ASB 2004 was made for baseball fans that run four or five fantasy baseball teams simultaneously, look deep into stats, and check the box scores from the Cactus League during the spring.

Although it hardly branches out into an altogether new baseball experience, this game is a real blast to play.

The graphics in Splinter Cell are unsurpassed. The lighting effects are incredible, the character models look great, and the animations are realistic.

It's subtle, yet dynamic.

One of those truly original games that, while a tad liberal in the innovation department, manages to keep you entertained all the way through thanks to one of the best battle systems ever to grace an RPG..., a Now and Then, Here and There-esque anime-influenced presentation, and some of the most challenging moments a hardcore RPG gamer could hope for.

I am more surprised by Dark Cloud 2's disappointments than I am its achievements. I expected it to be great. I assumed I would enjoy it a lot. But I never once dreamed that its story would be so annoying!

The physics need major work, the AI seems a little funny, the sound is terrible, and frankly, the racing just isn't that exciting.

The brains over brawns gameplay make Disaster Report a fun and unique title that'll keep you hooked from start to finish.

Some of the best online racing I have ever seen!

While the two-dimensional nature hampers the overall game experience, this is a challenging game that will test game players.

Vexx is a stellar, high-quality, praise-worthy game that deserves to be enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of gamers.

A very deep, engaging fighting game, although the single player experience leaves much to be desired.

As this game is aimed directly toward young kids, the gameplay is very easy, even in the Normal difficulty mode... The fun factor needs to be increased, though.

It is a shame that a little more time didn't go into trying to make the game unique.

Isn’t as fast as "Marvel vs. Capcom 2," as pretty as "Guilty Gear X2," or as smooth as "Street Fighter 3," but it’s a 2D fighter that’s online.

Vexx could’ve been worlds better if not for its nauseatingly inconsistent camera system.

The most fun I have had playing an RPG in a long time! This game just spews forth with innovation.

With enough brilliantly entertaining game modes and ultra smooth controls, this is a true soccer sim that will keep gamers busy for a long while.

Games like these not only lift the bar, they annihilate it!

There is plenty to see and do here so do yourself the favor and buy this game . . . just don’t skip too many work days, okay?

Oddly enough, I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy Ghost Recon when I wasn’t encountering problems.

The animation is average and the special effects are nice, but this game really does lack the eye candy sported by its competitors.

The first impressive thing that you will notice about GT Advance 3 is the fluid movement and no slowdown in the gameplay. Everything runs quickly and smoothly.

A very linear game, but combines smooth graphical elements and excellent sound to deliver a wonderful experience.

The AI is good, and while not flawless, provides a decent backup when things get a little heavy and will present a good challenge for even you veteran strategy players out there.

The graphics are really good ... but the similar color scheme in most places hides things well. In addition, some solutions are really vague, and can ultimately lead to a lot of running around.

The graphics are nothing short of breathtaking.

The new maps and vehicles are worth the 20 bucks.

One sloppy action platform game that really doesn’t do the Man Without Fear any justice.

The main problem with this game is that it feels a little dated, especially when you compare it to "FFX" or other games coming out shortly. Other than that it is a great game.

Zany and often hilariously fun, Black & Bruised comes in strong and looses its steam way before the final round.

Just about the only thing that makes this a somewhat interesting title is the Create Track mode that allows you go get as creative as you want ... and it’s easy to use as well.

Certainly some nice eye candy, but under the surface is a pretty boring, simplistic boxer.

A major disappointment... The inclusion of additional playable characters sweetens the deal a bit, but the fact remains that DMC2 is too easy, too short, and too inconsistent in terms of storyline to be considered a worthy successor.

If you like volleyball, gorgeous girls in swimsuits and great casino games, this game is a dream come true.

The racing aspect of the game is the most complete part of ATV: QPR2, but the most entertaining part, tricking, is a bit too difficult.

Gamer purists may feel a lack of variety in the essential gameplay.

Although the cinematic story is supposedly one of the most compelling elements of The Getaway, it is merely decent by film standards and only fair by video game standards.

Take "Braveheart," add clerics and magical effects, and you have a semi-nonfictional RTS title with good replayability.

And while the game isn’t completely innovative--in fact, you’ll feel as if you played this game before--this is one of the most solid and entertaining mech games out there.

Thanks to its tranquil setting and realism, this is a game that requires some patience... but when the fish start biting, its arcade-styled action cannot be beat.

By far the coolest, most memorable aspect of the game is the ships' ability to transform on-the-fly.

The control elements of this game were wonderfully ported from the PC to the PS2.

It just is not the kind of game that will blow racing fans away.

Sure, this isn't the most realistic-looking game on earth, but it's definitely one of the coolest. I don't think I have ever seen destructive effects this good before!

There are some neat visuals here and fans will certainly love choosing their favorite Digimon and battling against a friend in multiplayer mode, but this is a game that loses its appeal pretty quickly even for die hard fans.

Yes, you are able to import your sims, and yes you can observe their daily routine as they work their way up from the inner-city slums into a high-level corporate position, but then you have to ask yourself why you would want to do that to begin with.

While some might say the game is short, you are going to want to play it over and over and over. Add to that the slew of unlockables in this game, and you have one amazing title that will keep you busy for a long time.

Plagued with bad camera issues as well as the repetitive action of the original, this remix to DW3 isn’t much of an improvement but its added content is just too good to pass up if you already own the original.

The game's only problem is that the game can be a bit too easy at times.

Dirk controls very slowly and the jumps are imprecise enough to cause migraines. Plus the combat system is nothing more than running straight at a Giddy Goon swinging your sword around.

A nice enough puzzler, but one that lacks long-lasting appeal.

The use of some power-ups makes the task slightly easier, but this game is challenging.

Not only do Orcs beg to be slashed again and again, but the combat system is so entertaining that you won't even care about the repetition. The Two Towers is not without frustration (just wait till you get to level 10...ugh!), but it's not without fun either.

This is a nice little program, certainly not all that challenging, but delightful for its animation of a benign alien creature and its charming ways.

The only other real problem I have with the game is its length and lack of replay value. One trip through the game takes only a few hours. It can be beaten with a little determination in less than a day.

The game falls on its face where it counts the most: gameplay.

A really fun and addicting title, despite the fact that it’s pretty similar to other titles in the same genre if you strip it down to the core.

If the idea of chat rooms appeals to you, if the idea of stepping outside yourself and trying on a different life and face (even a polar bear’s head) is something you would enjoy, this could well be the game for you.

Having a longer game-time, plus some fun mini-games, would have been better, but this is still a nicely designed game.

If can forgive a few bad camera angles, and a shoddy sniper mode, than you will derive great pleasure from this game.

It is not much more than Mega Man in a red and yellow suit. It is not terrible, but lacking in anything special.

An average game that employs the same battle system as numerous other Japanese-style dungeon crawls. Unfortunately, when you have seen so many, it is hard to get excited about another.

The fast paced action, good graphics, tight controls and classic gameplay will appeal to gamers looking for a solid gaming package.

A great platformer for little kids, but one that may lack lasting appeal, due to nothing else to do besides play the same, short levels again. A few fun mini-games would have helped.

An unfinished game. If level designs were better, enemy AI was better, melee attacks actually did something, and a whole host of other things were worked out, the game wouldn't be so bad.

It plays like a dream.

My biggest gripe of all is that there are no hand-to-hand options at all. No knife, no punching, kicking, screaming, plain and simple you are just out there with your good looks. For a game that has such a big emphasis on covert ops, I found this to be a bit frustrating.

The action is always high tense, and extremely enjoyable.

The complete mix of tight handling, great AI, realistic car tweaking and damage, awesome graphics and sound, multiple game modes, and a great story line definitely surpassed my overall enjoyment of "GT3."

Lunar Legend rocks – a godsend for RPG fans, and especially Lunar fans. It’s a completely new story, and you can play it while your taking care of bid-ness, what more could you ask for?

Buy this game for your younger Battlebot fan or if you are REALLY into the program. If not, you may just want to save some money and watch it on cable instead.

The game is a touch too simplistic, but does have solid characters, and very good sound.

While the game is a bit on the linear side, it does a fantastic job of telling an interesting original story.

I was impressed with this game, it was easy to play, visually stimulating, sounds great, and was a ton of fun to play!

There are enough challenges and rewards to make this an enjoyable experience-- they just need to work on that horrible sound!!

Not a vast improvement, Legends of Wrestling II just doesn’t cut it as a classic wrestling title fans can really get into.

This is just warmed-over soup in a gaming world that's serving up filet mignon and lobster.

If you are into DBZ and haven’t picked this game up yet ... do so immediately.

A nice change of pace, but it’s too repetitive to hold your interest for very long.

Though the options and settings seem endless, it can be a little daunting at first. There are a lot of helpful hints on what you should do, but not a whole lot on how to execute them.

Controlling all of these details might overwhelm a novice player at first, but given time to practice and master the interface and all of the commands start to come pretty naturally, it even becomes rather addictive.

The three new islands, Avalon (Albion), HyBrasil (Hibernia) and Aegir (Midgard), are all wonderfully crafted realms full of danger, quests and realm combat.

While the graphics are not as superior as it was with "NBA 2K3" or the controls as super smooth as "NBA Live 2003," the game is still a shining example of how a college basketball game should be made.

Some of the most horrifying and shocking gameplay and movies of any title to date.

If you need a good RPG to help you appease your appetite from the lack of them on the GameCube this is the best there is out there right now.

With six game modes, a complete Legacy mode, and most of the Division 1 teams represented, NCAA College Basketball 2k3 is the most complete college hoops experience around.

Shoots itself in the foot thanks to a ponderous control system.

A few blemishes aside, there are just too many fun race modes to participate in.

Not only is the game fun, the movie sequences are a joy to watch and make a good game into a great must have title.

Unoriginality is acceptable every now and then if the gameplay is as good as the title that "inspired" it. However, Hoops not only copies other games, but it plays slower then them, too.

A nice little program that doesn’t really offer much that is new or unique, and hard-core game players will not find this a challenging outing. However younger players and LEGO fans will enjoy the simplistic entertainment value and colorful look of the game.
