A great game for those of us either, cursed with dial up connections, or the inability to constantly pay for games that feature persistent worlds.

This game is F-U-N, and with the right, high-quality dance pad (like Red Octane's pad), you will spend countless hours mastering your moves and then adding your own style to it.

A mediocre entry in the crowded action field. While there are no glaring faults and the gameplay is adequate, there's just not much fun, either.

It is a wonderfully fun FPS to play both online and off. The addition of custom skins and maps will only add to this game.

Easy controls. Great sound. Outstanding graphics. Original commentary. Challenging gameplay.

A good soccer program, featuring excellent animation and sound and solid game play. If there is a drawback it would be the lack of gaming options.

Think of the Arc the Lad Collection as a well loved trilogy of your choice - but instead you have the good fortune to play it all at once instead of waiting years for the series to complete. Then add a couple spin-offs and the ever important behind the scenes looks.

A truly magnificent game.

Fans of the previous Spider-Man games will be glad to know that the gameplay mechanics of this title have been tweaked and refined almost the point of perfection.

Graphically, this is a very solid and good looking PS2 title.

Addicting and there are tons of unlockable items for gamers to come back to.

Doesn’t fully capture the experience of the excellent PC version, yet that doesn’t mean gamers won’t have a blast playing through the game’s fun missions.

The gameplay is everything you could want in an RPG. Every battle is turn-based, and they feature some of the best, most easy-to-understand menus that I have ever seen.

If you are looking for an innovative and original experience that does justice to the series you’ll have to look elsewhere.

The animation is smooth and wonderful to watch.

On one hand, Spider-Man can perform a wide range of moves that are easily executed but on the other hand, the levels are generic and require keycards and backtracking, ugh.

A wonderful cast of characters, a decent if not simple puzzles and foes ­ all of which is somewhat spoiled by some game-play problems.

While the single-player game is fun, the multiplayer cooperative quests are where it really is entertaining.

It combines a bit of the medieval with fantasy, and technology with history. The combination works quite well, and the game ­ with a few setbacks ­ is not only challenging but also enjoyable.

Unfortunately, sometimes less than average graphics overall + bad sound + two faction’s missions being too difficult = probably skipped over in the retail game store.

The interface is wonderful, with all the controls and functions needed to build exciting rides.

A joy for the eye...wonderfully entertaining and addictive.

Even though this game this game can be beaten in a short time period, do not let this stop you from purchasing the game. It has well designed levels, tight controls, and a great theme to play.

The gameplay, however, leaves much to be desired, mostly in terms of depth; there's just not much here to keep anyone's interest for long.

It took 3 years but it was worth the wait.

It is really a shame that the game was allowed to be released before it was tweaked sufficiently. Unfortunately, these are major problems that greatly affect the gameplay and game players.

If your hat has lures on it and you’re wearing wading pants, it’ll keep you hooked.

The keyboard commands get a bit confusing because the games pace is very fast at times.

A graphically superb experience with solid, although not as detailed fighting controls.

The real joy of Army Men RTS is the creativity of the game. The cut scenes are downright hilarious, and the movie spoofs are frequent.

Lots of replayability here if you like online play.

While destroying and smashing things in a non-bloody way is always fun to do, this game doesn't offer much to keep players' attention in the long run.

A solid game that has some stability problems but excellent overall animation.

If you want access to every switch, instrument, indicator, and of course, every weapon, on this plane then this IS your type of game. To say the least, it is very involved, but rewarding once you get through the training.

Each character model is so well done and I even found the cut scenes interesting.

Rich in graphical details, and sporting a classic player interface, Dragon Throne is a solid addition to the lineup of strategy games.

A plot which will suck you in and a deeply intricate blend of action and espionage which can create an almost endless character creation and enable you to build your ultimate cybernetic killing machine.

Too repetitive to be interesting.

The GameCube controller feels like it was made for this game!

When you stack a game like this up against other recent FPS programs – like "C&C’s Renegade," or "Alien versus Predator 2" – Carnivores comes up a little short.

The gaming public has wanted a good team based game for a long time, now it has one.

I will give it one thumbs up as a FUN game to play with some really beautiful scenery (wink wink).

If this game is played for 15 minutes and then discarded due to the slow speed and pace of the game, you aren’t giving it the patience it deserves.

One thing the developers had "dead on" is the games entire atmosphere.

I know...that is as near perfect as you can get but that is the way I see The Sims and the new expansion, The Sims: Vacation! I have all the expansions. I play the game several times a week for an hour or two...or three! As a consenting adult well above the age level determined proper for this game, I enjoy every aspect of the game.

More of a novelty item than an actual game.

"Centipede" is perhaps the most exciting addition to this classic compilation and thanks to its intense action and the ability to turn the screen 90 degrees and play it the way it was intended it is one of the funnest games in the collection.

While the graphics look marginally updated the game remains essentially identical to its predecessors.

The stability woes, a few clipping problems, and finite game boards do present some drawbacks to the game. The good news is that this game is so good you can forgive all that.

For those that love the game, enjoy the behind-the-scenes management, embrace the mental challenge, like the statistical bombardment, and thrive on situational strategy, this is the game for you.

It seems like a shame that there weren’t mini games or other modes for single player though, since monotony and repetition were the ultimate downers to this title.

The sound is exceptional and the storyline manages to tie the whole program nicely together.

For a game that retails for around 40 bucks, I would be hard pressed to spend ten.

Controls are rather stiff and PC-like, giving you less maneuverability than desired.

In additional to being visually stunning, WRC nicely captures the excitement and the general feel of rally racing and will surely appeal to diehard rally fans and newcomers alike.

An intriguing storyline helps carry Blood Omen 2 past the fangs of graphical flaws.

A typical RTS with some atypical races. It would be a nice introduction to the newcomer to the genre, and veterans of this mode or warfare will find it challenging.

One of those games that, at first, is merely fascinating to look at, then becomes addictive.

I would ultimately recommend this for either someone who has played the card game before or someone who has a lot of time to go through and write down or memorize the card combos and fusion results, since everything is trial and error.

The play is solid, the graphics are good to excellent and program is delivered with an obvious appreciation for the sport.

Besides the graphics not being real impressive and the character voices not being original this is one of our favorites of the Monsters, Inc. games.

Definitely one of the best games I have played on Gamecube. Even the occasional camera problem didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this one.

The levels are entirely too short, and the ease of play that is obviously aimed for is often sabotaged by the difficulty of the hazards.

When it comes to the big picture of realistically capturing the true nature of the game, this falls short of the wall.

A football purist’s nightmare, and a football fan’s delight. It is fast paced and pure entertainment.

I don't care what the competition has in store for us this August because Blitz 20-02 is the only one I need... I love everything about this game, but the thing that really stood out to me was how much faster, smoother and more refined the game played.

Challenging and fun.

Sports amazing graphical elements, and a solid plot.

The gameplay is somewhat lacking, more because of the limitations of the medium, than the game itself.

Your mission... should you choose to accept it ... is to pay $50 for a somewhat average remake of a classic driving and shooting game, which will probably get beaten and possibly forgotten over the course of a weekend.

One of the most creative and original games to come out in recent months, most notably because it does not rely on any single preset established genre and yet it is still a very appealing title.

When it comes down to it, your eyes and ears have more fun than your thumbs.

Despite the aging gameplay dynamics and rehashed sound-effects Hot Shots Golf 3 manages to deliver a full-on entertaining experience that is rarely found within games of the golfing simulation genre.

Spyhunter may be a throwback to that original arcade game, but this old friend never looked so good, or was as welcomed.

Even though it is on the easy side, this game will keep Bond fanatics coming back till the next game.

There should be a warning on this game about it becoming habit-forming, because it certainly is that.

Far from perfect, the game comes on strong with enough realism and excellent control to shake a bat at.

Sled Storm doesn't just look like "SSX;" it plays like "SSX," too.

A truly beautiful-looking game, it just lacks originality in storyline and challenge.

Aside from the shoddy graphics and the occasional twitch, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter will manage to draw you right in with its engaging storyline, solid controls and plenty of extras (you got to love a game that offers a gag reel).

The racing itself is very enjoyable and offers a real sense of speed, and trying to beat your best time can be addictive. Too bad the multiplayer mode required multiple game copies.

Gruesome and indescribably disappointing.

If you are more into structured RPGs or adventures with a little more plot, story, and character interaction...you may want to run to the video store for this one and see if it's for you.

I am happy to report that after many hours of lost sleep, hearing things that weren’t really there, and near fatal heart attacks it definitely is not only the most terrifying game experience I have ever had, but one of the more solid ones I have had as well.

Think of Herdy Gerdy as being the "Moulin Rouge" of video games; some people will love it, while others won't be able to figure out why.

Its gameplay flaws make sure Knockout Kings will never take the title.

Although they did add some great things to Tony Hawk 3 for Game Boy Advance, it’s essentially the same game.

While the lack of an online mode does detract from the playability of the game, the new level and secret skater, which is not found in any other version, definitely help make amends.

The Gran Turismo of off-road racing...This is as close to perfection as the rally racing genre is every going to get.

A good game, but in a world where only "great" games are worthy of taking your money, "good" just isn't good enough.

The graphics in this game are unsurprisingly bad; the character models look as if they consist of no more then ten or twenty polygons apiece.

I don't like golf much and I can't stand most golf games, but I love GRT2.

A good concept that had fallen victim to its several flaws in graphics and its frame rate glitches.

For those that love the game, enjoy the behind-the-scenes management, embrace the mental challenge, like the statistical bombardment, and thrive on situational strategy, this is the game for you.

It would have been nice to be able to get up from the captains chair every now and then to walk around the bridge while your commanding your crew, or have the option to meet up with temporarily allied forces in places other then your super-glued captains chair vantage point.

If there is a drawback to the game it lies in that the AI is not overly strong. Considering that the enemy is engaged in a firefight of enormous proportions, running straight into a gun, or standing immobile with backs to the approaching shooter seems a little ridiculous.

The game's biggest draw just happens to be the pitching action which was designed so simple that its actually a blast.

The enemy AI is so poor that fighting becomes repetitive . . . and boring.
