The visuals are pretty lackluster for a 360 title, and while the characters themselves look nice, the environments are pretty bland and uninspired, much like the level design.

Feels like a half-baked approach at porting a stellar console title. While giving you a slightly changed story and new characters to work with is a nice approach, the actual gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

There is plenty to do and see and it adds a completely new level of variety to your Sims' already busy life.

Unfortunately the game offers up too little for too much and could have been up so much more.

The multitude of options available for single and multiplayer modes is outstanding and the game is just plain fun to play.

The game needed a lot more time in development and it never got that opportunity to mature.

There is so much value here for the money spent, which isn't particularly easy to say about a lot of new $60 games. Enjoy it.

Rent it for a bit if you're particularly interested, but what could have really been a solid game turns out as almost half of one with an obvious focus on the unorthodox abilities that is just not going to cut it.

The biggest omission from Mario Party 8, and the one that kept it from achieving an even higher score, is online play.

This is great fun for a pack rat like me as well as others with similar RPG tastes. The biggest drawbacks of this game are the disjointed story and the generic characters. However, don’t allow this to discourage you especially with the great battle, skill and alchemy systems in the game.

If you're looking for something different to pass the time, I could suggest you try and rent this one. There's no way in hell I'd pay full price for it though.

On top of losing everything at the beginning of a chapter, the music in most places of the game sounds like really bad shopping music.

If you are looking for some quirky fun or something for your tween who giggles at words like fanny and likes teen idols and billboard charts, then Brooktown High may be that perfect get away all you parents are looking for on a cross country ride. Everyone else just hit a club or bar and use the money for buying someone a drink so they can be that someone special for the night.

To say the least, I’m a bit upset as I was foreseeing larger things for this franchise.

Not being a fan of this genre, I found myself engaged in reliving some fond memories of heroes and villains I nearly forgot about.

As a title of epic proportions, Odin Sphere cannot be missed by anyone who owns a Playstation 2.

Unless you’re dying for achievements or are a fan of the films, there’s no reason to buy or even rent At World’s End. Instead, leave it to the films to do all the work for you, it’s easier and costs less.

Touch the Dead is a mixed bag—I like where the developers were going, but the end result is horrible. A simple remap of reloading to the L button could have improved the title tenfold, and a less random feeling damage system could have lead the game to greatness.

Even though the PLayStation 3 is the definitive version of the series, and no doubt the best baseball game on the market, there are still some glaring issues that make the game seemed as if it were rushed to make this season.

The story is silly and inconsequential, the action has the potential to be amazing, but cobbling together game concepts from the most popular titles on the market and releasing it with an amazing lack of polish just doesn't cut it in this day and age.

A must buy for RTS fans who own a 360.

Straightforward and incredibly short story mode, repetitive and eventually boring missions, meaningless extras and customization, and no real innovation make Driver '76 a mildly unsatisfying experience.

The city is not very alive, if you know what I mean. It looks like New York, but it doesn't feel anything like it.

The uninspired fighting is replicated by waggling the Wii remote instead of hitting a button, which is as much of a disaster here as it is in any other game.

The game’s presentation is very 5 years ago complete with cheesy CGI footage of newscasts and over acting characters that take this serious in tone style of game, to the brink of a comedy.
