This is a terrific blend of arcade-style gaming (as in with the players steaming and bursting into flame) and straight-ahead sports simulation.

The pitch control (sounds like a flight sim, but when you are airborne, that’s what it feels like) is a nice touch, and coupled with solid graphics and sterling sound, makes this a solid driving simulation.)

Stunt GP should have been called Snail GP because the cars move so slow. I don't care if they're supposed to be radio-controlled vehicles or not -- this is a video game, and developers are supposed to take advantage of this virtual world and create fun and entertaining games.

It is both stimulating to the eyes and ears and will have you jumping out of your chair when the fit it’s the shan. The character rendering and animation is top notch.

The most frustrating part of the game is the slow acceleration of the trucks, which as we all know is realistic, but something about barely moving just isn't too fun.

The mission settings are remarkable though, as are the overall graphics and sound in the game, which almost make up for the somewhat cheesy objectives.

This is a wonderfully challenging PC title which should sate the appetites of a niche long neglected - and it even gives you more than you would want by giving it a aesthetically pleasing presentation!

Yes Armada 2 is good, but when it gets bad it’s plain ugly. You gotta love it.

It reintroduces the sometimes forgotten concept of a 10-15 minute learning curve, and has done away with a 200-page flight manual on the basics of aviation.

The unrealistic player movements and lack of AI make this one disappointing.

With the 40 plus new social interactions you have many options when it comes to making and maintaining friends both downtown and in your neighborhood.

The graphics look fine when pulled back, but tend to get blurry the closer you get to the object of the zoom. And there doesn’t seem to be any way to rotate the camera to allow a better view of a single object or citizen.

Instead of endless hours of fun as I had anticipated, I was rewarded with pain and frustration from a game that really has no great strongpoint to offset its' weaknesses.

An intriguing challenge, and one of the better civilization games to emerge this year.

The graphics are virtually flawless, down to the smallest detail - the interactivity with your environment and the attention to detail will have most people playing through multiple times just so they can find every little secret.

While it does add some new concepts to the genre, it still may leave you feeling like it wasn't quite geared up for the power of the Xbox.

This game is smokin’ folks. Galactic Battlegrounds delivers a fast paced action packed Empire stomping, Wookie howling, Rebel Alliance whooping, Jedi slashing, Sith Lord choking good time. Remember it’s all in the Star Wars universe, and it’s all good.

The carnage does fly in this game, only the problem is that it’s all done unrealistically. You won’t believe how easy it is to blow an enemy’s limb off or blow a head clean off even with something as simple as a .44 pistol. And seconds after you kill somebody, the body melts away to nothing.

One thing I particularly liked on this game, and hope to see more of in future releases is a quick save mode. This allows you to stop where you are and quick save before you do something difficult.

Mastering some of the techniques will present a real challenge and the story line and characters are cute and appealing.

The main problem with this game was that it became, at times, very unfair. The enemy armies are able to "grow" opponents much faster than you can create warriors.

The only real sticking point with Spyro is a seeming ultra-sensitivity to the controls.

Like a large pot of soup. The soup makes a great dinner for the first few days, but by the end of the week, it isn't quite as appetizing as it was before.

The first cinematic racing game ever made. It does things that have never been done in a racing game before, things that we're only used to seeing in "Metal Gear Solid."

It could have been better in a couple of areas, graphics, and sound. However, I did enjoy the game, and loved the way it was presented.

The martial arts moves are well rendered, the storyline is passable and the animation is very nice.

Gameplay is not terribly exciting, playing this sim in real time can be extremely tedious, the pace is slow, deliberate, and tense.

A fairly entertaining game. If boxing games are your thing, then you should check it out.
