The game is a whole lot faster than the previous game. There is so much going on at the screen at once, it might be hard for players to keep up, but that will never be the case.

Hardcore Mega Man fans (or anyone else looking for a great, challenging action game) should seize this opportunity to take the blue bomber back to his old-school roots.

A good game that sparkles with player animation and modeling, and the franchise mode is a delight.

There aren’t many baseball games I would call addictive, but this game is definitely one of those “need to pry the controller away from your hands” games.

As a single-player game, My Street is a bore. It won't entertain you for very long, and the story and the dialogue is really pathetic.

While this game is a great improvement from the last one, Sonic Advance 2 does run out of steam pretty quickly. You’ll feel as though you played this game before.

Can't measure up graphically to the competition, and though this is a solid baseball title, it can be a little arcade-like and easy.

Though the sound effects like gunfire, explosions, and footsteps were pretty elementary, the environmental effects like thunder and rain, together with the graphics had me wanting to pop up an umbrella or find a big leaf to hide under to get out of the rain.

While fans of the series and people looking for deep and engaging franchise and career modes will probably be disappointed, anyone looking for a quick and easy arcade-exhibition baseball game will enjoy High Heat 2004 for a while.

One of those "it could have been a must-buy if..." types of games.

The musical score and effects are well done, but problems were encountered in clipped narrative. The options menu did not contain any way to turn on or off the effects.

Reminded me of something that would be seen in a Heavy Metal comic (which I am still a big fan of, by the way) or in one of the animated movies … so those of you who are fans of the publication will no doubt enjoy the overall presentation of the game.

Substance is well designed, tremendous graphically and in the audio department, and a great, addictive ride.

Perhaps the most puzzling thing of all is what happens when an enemy gets really, really confused. Most commonly you'll see them walk into a wall or some other barrier.

While the game does feature some nice improvements over its predecessor, it can’t really compete with the much better action titles out there.

This is truly a baseball lover’s game and you’ll feel it the minute the game is booted up, but unfortunately a few flaws keep the game from being a true Must Have.

Microids did a great job putting together a well-written and scripted mystery to solve, and those of you who love the “whodunit” shows, books, and movies will probably have a good time with this one … despite a few flaws.

It’s chock full of plasma throwing and destructive action with three good storylines to boot.

Enough to warrant an expansion I suppose, but nothing has really changed from the previous expansion or the original.

The story is engrossing; the voice-acting is stellar; the music is awe-inspiring; and the battles are just as entertaining as before.

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.
