As good as the sound usually is in Battlefield, it's the worst aspect of the game overall.

Quite fun, although its lack of difficulty and shortness is likely to turn off gamers looking for a deep, challenging game.

Scary, intense, fun and totally enjoyable. The Thing is a qualified hit, and anyone who doesn’t mind the level of violence, gore and blood will find this an addicting experience.

This game is entertaining but really doesn’t have the depth of play that The Sims sports.

A gorgeous, challenging and thoroughly enjoyable civilization game.

The game is, admittedly, a bit slow compared to games like StarCraft, but it’s more complex than that, as well. Either way, Lost Souls is a game that tries new things, and even if they don’t always seem that great, at least it’s a breath of fresh air.

Get used to the controls and don't even think about quitting until you've reached the third or fourth level. By that time, you won't want to quit playing, and will be glad you took my advice.

Lacking in every way this game is good only for small kids, desperate mech-fans, or fans of the series.

Epitomizes the quintessence of the series while introducing hugely entertaining innovations.

While this game may not be in quite the same category of some of its major competition, it is still a solid, well-designed game that will give gridiron junkies a quick football fix.

Although it tries to introduce a few original elements into the racing genre, the lack of polish and poor execution ultimately make the game fall short.

Provides average gameplay, but has a thoughtfully designed interface that is heads above many games of this type for younger players.

A specialized game that fulfills the obsessive compulsive need for options in us all.

It’s little more than an adrenalin-injected version of Excitebike, but should satisfy the thirst of would-be MotoXers without having to endure the pain of a piercing or tattoo.

A young children's game for the GBA that is actually worth the money, which is not that common.

Even though the game has a good mix of real and arcade, it may still not be what the simulation fan is looking for in a baseball title. Newcomers to baseball may get a little frustrated with it as well.

The complete freedom to do what you want will seem refreshing and it is but it’s not enough.

You would think that they could make a fun game out of a fun movie, but Blade II does not come close to touching the wild action and appealing story that made the film such a delight to watch.

Takes a good idea and executes it in a mediocre way.

Unfortunately, the PS2 port of this title suffers from a blurry visual presentation and occasional slowdown that is not present in the Xbox or Gamecube version.

A major step forward in the genre.

The longest racing game available for Xbox.

Repetitive action, awful controls and so-so graphics keep the game from being a fun action game based on a really great movie and action hero.

This would have made a great Expansion Pack to the original DTR game, but offered far too little new to have been a stand alone game.

While it doesn't have many fireworks or action sequences is does have a unique story that will delight those of you who are hungry for something different than your average adventure title or just tired of shooters.

One great looking game on the Xbox as opposed to the PS2 version. The jungles of the Lost Land will have you admiring the scenery the minute you step out into your first mission.

It is such a shame to see this game not live up to its full potential.

Having Josh walk you through his thought process was amazing for a player like myself. That was truly enriching.

With a little more time, greater character selection, and making the game a little harder, Capcom will have a serious contender on their hands.

A complex action game featuring solid graphical elements and intense game play.

One of the best games of the year. Even before finishing Onimusha 2, I looked forward to playing through it again.

Even with the great graphics and all the fun of ATV racing, the overall gameplay and length cause it to run out of gas at the finish line.

Though extremely difficult and loaded with useless features, Chessmaster is a good game to have for your GBA collection.

Well worth the price of the Network Adaptor.

The question here is: why don't you own this game already? This is an excellent game.

There are a number of new and unique concepts demonstrated in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs, but it's the execution -- which is nearly flawless -- that makes them stand out from the crowd.

Only gamers who love the genre and all of its repetitive gameplay mechanics should consider buying Aggressive Inline.

I would definitely recommend that the patient ActRaiser, Populous, and Sim City crowd give it an opportunity ... but anyone seeking more of a straight combat or faster paced RTS title may get a little bored with it after a spell.

A joy to look at. It features stunning graphics, terrific audio and a rich storyline.

With great graphics, top-notch sound and amusing gameplay, this is baseball at its most wacky and enjoyable.

A brilliant idea that somehow didn’t result in a brilliant outcome.

The mini-games are deep and complex, and require strategy, not endless button-mashing. So to me, this is much more than a party game.

Kids will definitely enjoy building their own park and creating their own mutated dinosaurs down to the last detail and Dino Island allows them to do it all.

Does offer a nice twist, [but] the program falters explaining the nuances of the game play.

Its only real problem is the fact that it isn't a whole lot different from "NHL Hitz."

Truly a delight to play. I found myself going back and forth from RPG to RTS. It's a great dilemma to have.

There are a few minor problems, such as coloration of some uniforms (Vikings helmets are more blue than purple) and the helmets lack the sharp glossy look of other games. But when it comes to facial animation, NFL 2K3 is way ahead of the pack.

Wildly engaging and even somewhat innovative... While the story isn’t at it’s strongest; the game possesses all the great things we look for in a true survival horror title.

The control interface is overly complicated. When you look at the manual you might feel like ripping your arms off and beating yourself silly, but there is no need. After thirty minutes of running around the station you'll feel more familiar. However during an intense battle looking down to press the I button is like trying to read Latin in the dark.

A surprisingly entertaining game. It is a bit on the easy side.

The graphical elements need some help and the dialogue is overwritten and overacted.

The game AI is quite good, and regardless of the difficulty level you select, you will find this to be a challenging game.

The improved graphics, intense action and the Guy Richie-style crime story is what makes this game worth getting your hands behind its wheels.

Too many flaws to make it worth while.

The link-cable support and team-based combat is very cool but the lackluster gameplay, generic enemies, and repetitive button mashing relegate this title to middle-of-the-road.

The lock-on targeting system can be a royal pain as well, since it almost always targets the enemy that is closest to you. This leads to an abundance of problems that occur during the game's most difficult scenarios.

The stability problems can be a pain. One exhibition game crashed three times before it would finally play out. But this game is exactly the type of sports game that cerebral gamers will enjoy.

You don't have to be a fan of the show to enjoy this action-packed game that, aside from looking really good, is both fun and highly addictive.

One of the most bizarre and fun titles out there, with some funny as heck moments and cool mini games which will get you cracking up as well, but also know that it may not last in the long run.

The game does stumble in a couple of areas, but the program pulls together a wide range of elements for a challenging and enjoyable day of gridiron action.

A great buy...for those few unfortunate gamers out there who have yet to get a PS2 or a GameCube.

An engaging naval strategic combat game that is big on challenges.

The interface is designed for ease of use, and the game boasts terrific sound and graphics. This is a wonderful game.

This title doesn’t advance the series; it’s really more like a watered-down version of AVP2.

If you are a PlayStation-only owner, you will find this game challenging, though not quite in the same league as Madden Football.

The addition of funny commentary and extremely exaggerated wrestling moves with a solid and fun football game has definitely been worth it to me.

Fails to grasp the raw intensity of a basketball street game or offer something that comes close to a challenge. Fans of basketball will be surely disappointed with this offering.

With an in-depth franchise mode, advanced AI, ESPN style presentation, and online play, you can't find a better deal...on par if not better than "Madden 2003."

There's no question that it brings a lot more to the table (in every department) than the previous (PSX) version, but it still isn't perfect.

Until 989 finds their niche and polishes the basics, they will always be underdogs on the virtual football field.

The addition of online play and Mini-camp are simply awesome.

This game has tons of action, blasting away at alien scum, and won't get beaten in the course of a couple of hours. It's definitely one of the deeper ones out there.

While not an entirely bad game, Street Hoops misses the mark completely and doesn’t fully capture the passion of an authentic street game.

There are plenty of challenges, huge playing environments and highflying tricks to give extreme sports gamers their money’s worth, but there are also a few flaws that can’t be ignored.

If you have a lot of friends, you'll be pleased with Beach Spikers.

The game has enough extras, graphical improvements, and secrets that it does a great job just being itself and not another port.

A terrific game. It does have a few flinches along the line of scrimmage, but once the ball is snapped, this game executes extremely well.

Tsunami 2265 is an interesting game with a lot to offer and while the action can grow somewhat repetitive the game is still an enjoyable treat that shouldn’t be missed.

Not only is Sega Sports Tennis a realistically true tennis simulation but it’s also extremely challenging and fun as well.

One of Aggressive Inline's most appealing aspects is the simplest (yet most brilliant) of them all: zero time limit. I could go on and on about how wonderful this is, but I don't think I have to.

The problem is that the missions you’ll have to complete consist almost entirely of defending this or that base, or playing escort to a group of ships. In other words you spend too much time defending and protecting and not enough time in one-on-one dogfights and full-on combat without worry of damaging friendly units.

Yes it has good and tight control, but acceleration and speed can be a real chore with some vehicles.

The biggest and what will probably be the final deathblow to this game for a lot of people is the overall difficulty.

Exactly what extreme inline skate fans have been looking for and the game will not disappoint in any way. Terrific graphics, massive environments and an exclusive extra level make this a Must-Have.

It's only a few steps up from the first Crazy Taxi.

It's very fulfilling and a challenge. The graphics are very good, and the music sets a appropriate mood. If not for some camera issues and a bit of "unfair" attacks here and there, I'd rate it higher.

The game has improved leaps and bounds since last years version, which is surprising since it was done wonderfully last year.

The animation is exceptional, and the options package is certain to give fans of this sport many enjoyable hours of total gridiron immersion.

I’ve seen NCAA Football 2003 on both the Xbox and Gamecube, and I must say the Gamecube version looks better.

The graphics are uninspiring, the sounds are weak and worst of all-- the controls make it a CHORE to play.

Graphically, this is a great looking PSX title. Each MS, pilot, and background was hand drawn and colored to provide a bright, anime style presentation overall.

Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing has a slew of faults that inevitably bring the title down but that’s not to say that you won’t have a good time in the ring.

SC may lack the luster of today's games that require a GB of space and the highest of everything for the ultimate gaming experience, but for a game that only requires 30 MB of space, it can be truly addictive.

Almost every level is similar: what begins as fun, ends up maddening, because of constant dying and restarting over due to problems of overly sensitive obstacles, control issues in jumping from platform to platform, too much blind jumping, and in one particular level, really bad "touch" detection.

Austerlitz will not dazzle with its graphical elements, but what it will do is delight fans of war games with its depth of play.

Probably one of the most realistic army simulation/FPS on the market.

The Collectors Edition is the best buy. For several dollars more you will be able to get a soundtrack to the game, DVD of all the cinemas plus an inside look at the game, artwork of the game, four posters, and a really nice case to store all the extra items in.

The controls are so weak that I am having a tough time deciding which is more aggravating: controlling Bruce Lee, or non-stop clipping. Either way, you'll be disgruntled by this game's lack of an intuitive control system.
