    Ballers will still play second fiddle to the "NBA Street" series.

    RS3 has decent AI and plenty of scenarios, gear and gunfire. Definitely a great buy if you are a PS2 owner exclusively, and an avid FPS fan.

    Few of the tasks are dreary and boring, the graphics are gorgeous, the music is Final Fantasy grade A, most of the online community is helpful and fun, and you’ll never run out of things to do.

    A great translation with some nice bells and whistles, but the inconsistent AI and lack of Xbox Live really hamper this title.

    Has absolutely the worst combat I’ve ever seen, with some terrible puzzle design added for good measure.

    Those who are Ghost Recon fanatics will enjoy this, but those who want to take a look at the series might be better off picking up the original.

    It's the first person camera work that brings even this lack-luster world to life and makes up for the simple textures. The first person perspective goes beyond anything that we've ever seen in other games and brings the immersion of the experience to new levels.

    It is obvious that K2 took special care with the story for both characters and creating some nice levels, but they forgot the whole gameplay, camera and dumb AI issues.

    It’s not outright terrifying like "Fatal Frame 2" could be, nor is it intermittently creepy like "Half-Life" was, but it finds the right balance in being consistently ominous.

    When boiled down FD 18 is really a 3rd-person shooter with not much variety.

    Much like "Undying," this game will probably be best remembered for its audio…for that alone it deserves kudos. Anything that can freak me out like this game gets my vote of confidence.

    The franchise mode works pretty well for the first year, but then you find out that your players don’t really gain much in ability, veterans are still powerhouses far after their prime years and your team goes to pot as it drafts and sends up younger players when you sim seasons.

    A graphical masterpiece.

    Simply a great pickup if you like rally racing games or racing games in general. The only huge blunders are no music and the lack of Live online play.

    Those who like motocross freestyling and want a simpler trick system should enjoy this game.
    • 61 Metascore

    It’s not a bad distraction for a little while, but the frustration of the game can be hard to overcome.

    By far the most beautiful game on the Xbox. I'd go so far as to say it is the best looking title on any system.

    Doesn't quite reach the level of Left Field's N64 masterpiece "Excitebike 64," but it does bring a good game of dirt racing with smooth graphics to the table. If it had tighter controls, more bike sounds for different bikes and a little more originality in its levels I think this game would be superb.

    You never feel like things are dragging on and the next goal is always in sight.

    Those who have fond memories of the original Pitfall! will relive some of those memories upon booting up the game. However, the simplicity of the original game is lost later, and it becomes more of a puzzle-solving, rope swing timing game.

    I can see the kids (the younger the better) enjoying some of the byplay between Hornball Harry and the jaguar, but if they manage to get that far with the awkward controls and loopy camera, then they’re pretty strong gamers for their age. Skip this one.

    It is a well thought out cinematic experience, but it surely doesn’t hold a candle to the recently released "James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing."

    This is easily the best soccer game out there, now if only they could come close to what FIFA does with overall presentation in the menus.

    So, if you have no problem with a 3rd person view and enjoy fast-moving action games with a definite flare for movie feel, you should go out and pick up EoN.

    More of the same with a few enhancements. Those looking for more will be disappointed.

    An excellent game to introduce someone to the Metroid universe.

    While the single player portion of this title might be dull, if you happen to have three other friends and have 4 GBA consoles between you all, this is the perfect purchase. Never before has a game that highlighted teamwork come along like this.

    With a whopping 101 ships (most performing vastly different from one another), 7 stages (most with drastically different versions of the same stage), 5 difficulty levels, and a myriad of secondary options, you’ll invest a ton of time in this title if you want to see it all.

    If you like cheeze anime character dialogue and clichés and you like a fairly solid arcade flight sim then you'll probably like Aiforce Delta Strike. There are a ton of planes to fly, plenty of missions and fairly good graphics to weld it all together.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    While far from perfect, it's basically a $50 expansion-pack for the original title with slight but tangible improvements. If you didn't like the first, this sequel won't change your mind at all.
