    The scale of the online component is hard to believe, and the Conquest mode could play itself out as the best Xbox Live title-ever. While the single-player game is painfully unimaginative, it is undeniably fun.

    Play the original NFL Street, you won't notice that much of a difference.

    Wow, for a small startup developer like Starbreeze (whose only other released game was "Enclave" on the Xbox and PC) this is like dropping an atomic bomb for one of the first games you bring out.

    This game mixes Gundam and fighting games in just the right amount, and I look forward to the tearing of metal limbs that will occur in my house for some time to come.

    If you enjoyed SoT, you’ll most likely enjoy WW, just don’t expect a huge improvement over the original.

    All and all, it just dosen't seem as fun, and that takes away from the overall experience.

    It isn't that the game is bad, it is just that the mood, voices and music combine to create a game that you don't want to play.

    It doesn't have a broad appeal outside of those pre-existing fanbases, although it might be a good title to get someone into RPGs in general.

    Those of us that lived through the Atari and original Nintendo years will find this game to be a blast from the past, but you probably already knew that if you played the web game.

    The boss battles, camouflage use, Close Quarters Combat and wound treating are simply revolutionary for this game.

    While it doesn’t use the system’s power to the fullest (no touchscreen usefulness or multiplayer modes without multiple titles), it’s a decent enough game that’s worth your time and money if you’re into the racing genre on the go.

    I have had a dream of how good this game could be for a long time, and it was immediately kicked out the door for not being grand enough.

    The use of the Source engine gave Troika the ability to use their talents on fleshing out the incredible storyline and remarkable atmosphere.

    This game has so many glaring graphical and AI glitches it borders on comical.

    Its nice to see a launch title take advantage of all the bells and whistles of a new platform so well. Spider-Man 2 has really set itself apart from the long list of planned DS launch titles. I give it the thumbs up.

    It does play a bit slow at times, but building a powerful deck during the game is fairly easy.
    • 73 Metascore

    The game is realistic and fun, albeit an on-rails shooter at the core. Some parts of the game just beg to be replayed while others have you scratching your head why they aren't longer to begin with.

    With a myriad of multiplayer game types and the simple fact that this game is more fun to play with other humans makes this a great pickup if you have Xbox Live. If you don't have Live you probably want to steer clear of this game.

    The camera angles are much improved and it's much easier since you don't have to micromanage the order of the time crystals that are vacuumed up. However, the difficulty of the game can be a bit frustrating at times.

    plays like your favorite World War II movies come to life. You'll relive parts of "Enemies At The Gate", "Day After Tomorrow", with hints of "Saving Private Ryan."

    It lacks the depth needed to become a really good adventure game, and ends up being a platform game with some good puzzles built in.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    You also have the ability to save anywhere. This is helpful for the game not being too frustrating as well.

    The variety of missions/gameplay types is refreshing.

    The lack of speed might discourage some from picking up this game, especially with two other alternatives available for the PS2. With a few minor adjustments, Gretzky could become the hallmark of PS2 hockey games.

    Controls are extremely tight and responsive. You are in complete control of Master Chief's movements, so any loss or mistake is completely your own.

    The game certainly does have hiccups here and there and once you get inside the buildings it is obvious the developers went a little too far in making them too big.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The multiplayer experience isn't so killer, however, and it's a shame because it's just brimming with potential.

    In many ways Killzone is ahead of itself from the still graphics and immersion standpoints. However it is also behind with the framerate drops and the sameness of the enemies as you go through the game.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Has a steeper learning curve than "Kohan 2," and that may turn fans of that series off. It also doesn't have much in common with the original board game, and that is sure to cause an issue with fans. However, once you dig into the game, it's a truly satisfying experience.

    While there are plenty of game modes, not a one of them is a challenge.
