    Only get this title if you've finished everything there is to do in the previous titles, and even then only at a discounted rate.

    Arkane Studios has done a wonderful job in transferring this PC game onto the Xbox where hopefully even more people can enjoy it.

    Although the game is short and there isn't much replay value, I can see myself coming back to this one over and over again because of the addictive gameplay and gritty storyline.

    For those who have never played The Sims, I encourage you to rent the title and try it out...if it is your type of game, this one is better than the original console version with only a few 'lead weights' to hold it down.

    I’m going to go have Sara shag a few more sims, then I’m calling it a night.

    This truly is a great game with a well thought out story, beautiful graphics and great voices.

    Easily the scariest game (or movie for that matter) available on the market.

    One of those games where the reviewer just bangs his or her head on their desk because it’s such an average title, since you can’t go wrong recommending it or advising people to avoid it.

    Yes, it may be more streamlined than you would like it, but the story and feel of the game are well worth it. The framerate drops are frustrating, but when you look at the lighting and the Havok engine displayed in this game the framerate drops become almost second nature.

    It may not be as great as Xbox Live or PS2's online system, but this game is a heck of a lot of fun if you have some friends and one GBA with the connector.

    A lot of fun if you can get past those frequent audio glitches, and a PC-friendly control scheme. Considering how many movement options the PC has, the developers did an admirable job in creating a comfortable control scheme.

    A well-rounded collection and as I said earlier I can't think of any big titles not included here.

    Not worth playing, as it’s neither fun nor particularly creative or inspiring.

    While the core gameplay is unchanged, Ultramix feels like a less complete package than other DDR games in the series. Instead of trying to attract a new generation of gamers, Ultramix feels like a game dedicated to the hardcore DDR player.

    The largest fault of the game is the save system. Saving can be done at any point in the level, but restoring the game results in going back to the beginning of the level.

    Full of stuff to blow up and laced with detail. Metal Arms is a great game.

    With anime inspired tones and the quick play, this game is just plain fun.

    Superb to look at, listen to and play. It's just too bad online couldn't have had more meat to it.

    The comparisons to "ICO" are striking, but this is simply the better game between the two...that's something I never thought I would say.

    Xbox Live integrates into this title and elevates it to a level not seen in hockey in years. While the game won't take the crown from "Blades of Steel," it certainly can hold its own against almost any hockey game out right now.

    Whether you enjoy the humor aspect, the run and gun gameplay, or the fast and furious multiplayer, Glitch has a little something for everyone. The small details in the title and some of the innovations will keep you coming back for more, even if some of the gameplay is mindless repetition.

    The action and puzzle-solving elements balance nicely. The humor throughout the game is actually funny, especially some of the animal testing equipment they use.

    This is a tough game to recommend because the single-player game is so weak when compared to even the basketball games from last year by Sega and EA.

    A stylish game brought down by the ok graphics, run-of-the-mill FPS content, horrible aiming controls and my general lack of interest when playing the game.

    A great game. Because of the differences from previous iterations it may be a little disappointing to die hard Mario Kart purists. But for anyone who likes the series in general, the decision to get this game is a no-brainer.

    This iteration of the franchise makes a multitude of improvements on an already great formula, and they’ve made gold… Pure gold.

    With a gripping story, top of the line graphics, fantastic sound, unsurpassed multiplayer, and innovations such as the Voice-Activated Order System - this is one of the best and most impressive games to come out on Xbox yet.

    • 90 Critic Score
    The colorful mix of characters and exciting plot combined with great gameplay make this one a must play.

    It’s a repetitive platformer that does a good job of being pretty, true to Bilbo’s story and repetitive.
