So much fun and so well made that it completely obliterates the insultingly awful "Call of Duty: Finest Hour." This is the game that war gamers have wanted on a console, and it delivers the thrills and entertainment in ways I did not think possible.

You are never lost as to where to go throughout each level, so seasoned veterans of first-person shooters might find the game a bit easy, but they would be missing a great time if they passed this over.

The levels were incredibly balanced and elicited feelings of imminent danger as you are often starting very close to your enemy’s location.

The cutscenes were an enjoyable interlude between bouts of carnage, but the looping quips eventually got under my skin.

The DS version of this game just missed the boat on so many features that the hardware could have made use of.

Simply put, the game blew me away in the first mission. It's not perfect, no game is, but for all of the minor problems the game's got, it's still a hell of a lot of fun.

Gameplay is horrible.

On one hand there is a fantastic immersive horror title that captures the environment perfectly. On the other hand, you have a game that is filled with bugs and leads you with both hands tied through the whole game.

A bit of a paradox. While the graphics are poor, the sound is much more developed. The controls are great for while on foot, but vehicles take some adjustment.

The mixture of zany antics and storyline coupled with an outrageous cast of characters makes Serious Sam 2 a must play for FPS fans.

A poor manual, combined with a small move list for each character really puts this game at the rental level. They did manage to capture the series quite well in the game, but they did so at the expense of gameplay.

A phenomenally awesome RTS, and stays true to all the games before it.

Jak X would have been even better if it supported four-player split-screen with the multitap.

A fairly linear game, and while there is a sense of exploration, the path for the game is fairly easy to find and it is difficult to get off-track into an area you shouldn’t be in.

This is easily an instant pickup for Dragon Ball Z fans. Fighting game fans should take a look at this title as well, as the amount of customization and number of characters mixed with strategy brings up DBZ: BT to a higher level over other fighting games.

The game simply is lacking in the fun factor and dosen't hold your attention long enough to make you really want to play it. There's also a complete lack of immersion partially due to the paper-thin plotline, the generic sound and the minimalistic graphics.

A genius concept that is fun for a little while, then grows as stale as its protagonist. The ideas are perfect, but the execution is weak.

A return to the roots for the Tony Hawk games – a return that is hampered by little bugs and the end of the console life cycle.

The story is mysterious enough to demand further investigation, but after a while you start wishing they would hurry things up and get to the good stuff. It’s only later when you’ll stumble onto the Catch-22 that the only truly "good stuff" in the game is that you can blow up a lot of the boring stuff.

By no means is it worthy of owning. Midway has a great idea here, but the game play and graphics are just plain awful.

What I didn't expect was that the areas themselves would take up so much space on the overall map and that one victory would take over multiple states. I also didn't expect that the units would be so incredibly limited.

The football section of the game is flawed enough that it seriously detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

The game was created well, but is in desperate need of more content as the game feels as shallow as most of the themes the game is based on.

Because the gameplay was so uninspired, I found myself speeding through streets and ramming myself into the sides of buildings or opposing traffic so that I could watch the physics engine in action, and even that grew tiresome after a short while.

It’s not anything spectacular. It is what it is, a competent tactical shooter that tries to require brains over brawn, but has no problem letting gamers open fire on anything that moves.

My easy answer on this game is that if you found "Xenosaga" wanting in the story department, then you need to look into this title. It seems to do everything right.

A great extension of the "Quake 2" storyline. While there are certainly flaws in the single player and multiplayer, the game’s fantastic visuals and engaging storyline make it a worthy addition.

While it isn't exactly a deep or story-driven tour de force, it is pure mindless fun and incredibly addictive.
