The game does have a lot of unlockables such as special photos, comics, and of course characters, but aside from that there really isn't a whole lot to do after you unlock everyone, which won't take long.

When you have a formula that works, all you have to do is tweak it to make it better. That's exactly what RavenSoft did, and the results will not disappoint fans of the series.

Generally, this game is a flawless knock-out.

While the title does introduce a lot of new elements to spice up the Tak formula, they unfortunately come off feeling as though they could have fleshed out a bit more if the developer had more dev-time.

Sometimes gameplay can feel slightly repetitive, and sometimes managing all the units on screen can be more challenging than it should be. In fact, this is probably the number-one-most-challenging thing about the game.

While not the revolution its immediate predecessor was, Burnout Revenge stands as the best racing game of the year, and a excellent game in its own right.

Despite its budget pricing and great humor, this game is hardly up to the great standards for budget titles set by Raze's Hell. However, if you are an Evil Dead or Bruce Campbell fan you should pick this up right now.

If you're a huge "Black Arrow" fan, stick with it. If you've never played a Rainbow Six game before, then this is definently the one to start out with, as it is far more forgiving, and will probably get you hooked on the series.

With Xbox Live play, solid controls, and a great presentation, NHL 06 should satisfy even the hardest puckhead.

Another winner from Nintendo. It's no cake walk though – this one takes some practice and even some study to understand the timing involved with pressing the A button at just the right moment.

This is by far the best wrestling title on the GameCube. As far as simulating the feel of WWE wrestling, it's the best game on any console.

While The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction isn't a long or involving game, what is here is fantastic and deserves a look.

Loses the battle against mediocrity hands down. The combat is decent, but there's little else to keep you interested. Ultimately forgettable.

Solid game with very few shortcomings. Fans of either westerns, vampires, or both will enjoy this game immensely.

While a Sonic compilation is always welcome, Sega seems to have shoveled the worst Sonic has to offer in with the sure-to-sell Sonic CD.

The possession mechanics are ingenious, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're ripped off by some other company in the future. A lot of the puzzles and scenarios [are], in a word, unforgettable.

While Madden NFL 06 has a few nice extras, for the most part, it feels like Madden 2005 Version 2.1. Sometimes being uncontested isn't such a good thing.

It's a title that should appeal to any Xbox Live gamer.

Outlaw Tennis is top-notch in almost every category, but the incremental unlockables sap a hefty amount of the replay value. This game is a winner, but that godawful design decision almost sunk the entire title.

Flatout has the basics down pat for a decent racing game, but with its core gameplay aspects still a bit rusty, this is definite rental material, through and through.

A better than average action/strategy game, with tons of replay value but no real impressive or stand-out features.

The overall package of the game is excellent and should be considered in any hardcore gamer's collection.

A must-buy. Simple as that. Each of these 9 maps are astounding to say the least.

While the gameplay and controls could have used a little more work, Fantastic Four is a comic book brawler that may just beat out the summer blockbuster competition.

With arguably the best platforming found on the Xbox, and a fairly decent Xbox Live mode, it's a game you may want to rent first before buying.

Talk about a game that took me totally by surprise. Destroy All Humans! is one of the most enjoyable experiences to come down the pipeline in awhile.

CFE offers nothing new to merit a purchase; the fundamentals are there, but Capcom could have done so much more with the game.

Not the best game ever, but one of the better movie based games and easily one of the better Batman games in recent history.

The graphics and game-play are highly addictive, figuring out the means of taking a bunker, or finding document can mean anything from a few hours of playing to a few days just to pass one level.

It can't quite capture the flavor of the previous two. While nothing could be done with the Xbox version to remedy that, the attempts to add new features to the port like instant replay and custom radio stations fall completely flat.

An excellent adventure title that most will feel more confomfortable with on a PC. However, priced at ten dollars cheaper, the Xbox version isn't bad at all.

It's quite humorous and it's something the entire family should enjoy playing on their Xbox.

If you've been craving more Konga then this is worth checking out. Otherwise it may be best to move along.

Basic, uninspired, glitch-filled gameplay; extremely poor graphics; and noticeably absent film talent- all of the elements of a half-baked attempt to cash-in on the rush for Star Wars memorabilia are here.

On a console over populated with first person shooters, there's nothing exceptionally special or unique about Pariah. If you really want to play it, give the game a rental.

An amazing first show at racing, and possibly the best simulation game ever produced.

A fun, exciting, and intense FPS that has varied and creative environments, well-designed weapons and creatures, fantastic graphics, and fabulous sound effects.

No fancy effects, but some great level and character designs make up for it.

Psychonauts stays in your mind with its great gameplay, memorable visual style and storyline, as well as its persistently hilarous dialogue. It's easily the best platformer on the Xbox.

WM21 is a polished turd, it looks amazing and plays like sh.t.

Unfortunately, the main quest is short by RPG standards. Luckily, the game is jam packed with side quests, and experimenting with different characters and your good/evil allignment on multiple playthroughs will last awhile.

One of the dumbest and least scary survival horror games I have ever played. Obscure is truely destined for obscurity within bargain bins around the nation.

Like a finely prepared meal- great graphics and sound, finely tuned gameplay- that's been served in a dumpster- a poor singleplayer mode and Xbox Live implementation.

Ubisoft knows what it's doing.

If you've played the previous games, you'll be impressed. But if it's your first entry in the series, then you'll be enthralled.

I really enjoyed this game. It wasn't the longest game in the world, took me about 6-9 hours to beat. However I had a great time playing the missions and it reminded me of "Max Payne" a little.

Cries to be played by fans of the series and fans of "GoldenEye."

Sometimes it feels like the game plays more like Bungie's first-person shooter, "Halo," than "GoldenEye," however, which is somewhat of a surprise considering the last two TimeSplitters games followed very closely in "GoldenEye's" footsteps.

Phantom Dust sets the bar for action games to come for this generation.

This is highly recommended to anyone of any age who enjoys addictive gameplay and great game design.

Yet another substandard attempt to make a splash in the shallow Xbox survival horror pool. Toss this one overboard.

A truly refreshing and innovative experience.

It is one of the very first games to move onto a new level by being able to manipulate you're emotions. Brothers in Arms is a superb game.

Not only gorgeous, but is also one of the most realistic sports games to date.

Not only gorgeous, but is also one of the most realistic sports games to date.

The Xbox controller is not the best for fighting games mainly due to the pesky black and white buttons, but after some practice the controls can become second nature.

If you're a diehard sports gamers and/or in love with the fundamental basis of the American version of the game of baseball, then you're in for a ride.

Worthy of a rental given the actual play time is not very long.

Recommended and encouraged, even if it is too darn short.

Surprisingly, the component this game absolutely nails is the one that has traditionally been its Achilles heel, single-player.

Adding new features such as the Street Challenge and Dunk Contest, NBA Street V3 is admittedly one of the best street sports games ever created.

Incredibly different from anything else on the market, thanks to a great blend of gameplay styles and wonderful combat. Fairly linear however, and uneven difficulty can make some bosses frustrating.

Am I disappointed? Somewhat, I think the game could have had some variety in missions, but its still a really good game.

Clocking in at under ten hours, Tork is short. With all of its problems there is no reason to play it twice. There are mini-games, but they are nothing to go back for either.

The hit zone-based targeting system, for example, makes anything else in the genre seem obsolete and primitive. It's that sophisticated.

Mercenaries can simply be described as unadulterated fun. Every facet of the game contributes to the overall experience, creating a game that is far more than the sum of it's parts.

This game's heart and soul lies in its Xbox Live play. If you've got Live, it would be a good idea to run out and pick this title up for the hours of online entertainment it'll undoubtedly provide.

Featuring the same frantic gameplay as before along with all new game modes, NFL Street 2 is a great addition to the series and is better than its predecessor.

The sheer volume of the game is immense in size.

A greater story, more memorable characters, and improved combat options make KOTOR 2 another intergalactic trip you'll thoroughly enjoy.

The mini-games are repetitious and require little skill, the CPU-controlled characters are easy to beat even on higher difficulty levels (unlock the Brutal difficulty mode for a fairly decent challenge), and the microphone is a neat peripheral that adds nothing amazing to the game.

The decision to take the franchise to a darker place was not a bad idea ' UbiSoft simply took it a tad far and the game has lost connection with series' roots, as anyone who looks at or plays the title without knowledge of its connection of the venerable series would probably require some convincing to accept that yes, this action game was an entry in the Prince of Persia franchise.

This bold and beautiful brainchild from it's beginnings at Newgrounds.com has been bloody brilliant and a ball-buster to beat, and now at a bargain price for the GameCube, it's become even better.

Rogue Agent doesn't just feel like it should be better, it yearns for it. It is so close to being a good game, but just falls short in every major category of gameplay.

This is one of the most difficult games you'll play this year and that's a compliment.

I hope to see the community surprised by the shockingly high production values which its single player holds. That being said however, the multiplayer game of Call of Duty: Finest Hour is practically a throw away. The game modes are generic, communication poorly chosen, and fun level is shockingly low.

Graphics are improved, and gameplay is far superior to that of its predecessors.

Atari Anthology will prove two things to anyone who buys it; that Atari was truly an arcade force to be reckoned with, and that they had terrible problems developing titles for their own console.

There is no reason why RPG lovers wouldn't like Baten Kaitos, but non-RPG lovers may have trouble adjusting to the slow speed of battles. Strategy lovers especially will appreciate the Magnus system's strategy.

This game is huge. Seriously. 40 hours or more worth of gameplay amounts to a lot of fun.

Samus' new adventure is one of her best. It's darker than any Metroid game out there, more challenging, more atmospheric and perhaps longer. Overall, it's a very extension of Metroid Prime – which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

If you like Hot Wheels or are just looking for a fun arcade racer, at $20 it is worth checking out.

One of the best console first-person shooters ever made, with multiplayer that is way ahead of anything else on any console.

Don't be fooled by bounty hunters; Mario Power Tennis is one of the best games you'll play this holiday season. Alone or with friends, you'll have a ball.

You could do much better than Tron 2.0: Killer App. In fact, you should.

20 classic Sonic Team and Sega games perfectly emulated on the Xbox for $20; what's not to like?

With downloadable content, 12 playable modes, TONS of unlockables as well as character stat customization, custom sound tracks, Dave attel's voice, tournaments and a tracking system with so much details I'm almost ashamed that people can view my stats.

Poor animations, poor audio, poor music, repetitive voices, bad camera angle and sluggish controls as well as overly simple objectives really ruin this game.

After the controls have been mastered, this baby handles like a sports car, so long as you keep a sharp eye on your map, and pay careful attention to enemy movement.

The best soccer game on the market as of now. It has everything a soccer gamer could want, and more.

A bargain platformer that tried to stuff twenty pounds of game into a ten pound bag - and it shows.

While there are some great games on this disc, total duds like Kozmik Krooz'r, Arch Rivals, and Pit Fighter, make MAT2 an uneven compilation in the end. For a better group of games, check out the first "MAT."

It mixes together some very well-designed elements, such as its battle system, level design, puzzle design and its funny, charming storyline.

Today’s modern gamers who have not experienced the joys of the 1980s and 1990s arcade will probably be underwhelmed.
