The story and classic modes both could've been much better, and the lack of online options puts this one leagues behind the PS2 version.

An essentially barebones fighter with nothing new to offer to the table and a high price tag, SVC Chaos strictly for SNK/2D fighter fanboys only.

Although it's highly recommended to putting large emphasis on playing this title with a group rather than alone, the entertainment factor provides a fresh, new feel to the overall spectrum of video-games as a whole.

The gameplay is fast, furious and addicting... unfortunately it can also get repetitive.

The storyline progresses in an entertaining manner, to keep the gamer glued to the TV for hours. Despite the short length of the game, which is on average 15 hours, Second Sight packs a lot during that time.

Its blend of great storytelling, great combat, and attention to environmental detail are enough for anyone to get hooked on.

The game seems unpleasantly short, however ' in less than sixteen hours of play I had cleared six of the game's ten story chapters.

Great game, worth every penny. If you like massive battles, star wars, first person shooters or vehicles, you will definitely want to check this game out.

Decent, it's not the best Vietnam first person shooter, but its not the worst. If you want a good Vietnamese shooter, I recommend waiting for "Men of Valor," If you can deal with the annoying people online and just want a decent first person shooter, than yeah I can recommend this game.

Indeed, though Fable has been continuously compared to the likes of "Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind," this is not Morrowind. It is much more linear – more so than that title and even Bioware's 2003 hit, "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic."

To make up for a lack of creativity in the gameplay department, guerrilla appears to have repaid us with the quirkiest, silliest set of controls in an action game to date.

The games controls are horrible, but other than that and the low replay value its a pretty fun game.

The videogame equivalent of Hurricane Ivan; everyone that has come into contact with it has either been stuck with an immense sense of awe, or had their life changed in a significant manner.

The game has a great tuning set up for your car, and the sound effects aren't bad, but the core of the game lies in the gameplay which is repetitive, and too slow.

Street racing enthusiast and casual driving fan alike should take this game for a test drive. Just turn off that horrible music before you pull into traffic.

A must own, as it's one of the very best games this year on any system.

Playing a Royal Rumble match with three friends just never gets old.

The game would be a lot better if there was a wider variety of mini-games and a few four player battle mini-games. However, as it is, there are 30 mini-games and only about 15 are genuinely unique.

The coolest new [online] addition is the sports ticker. With it you can see the scores of your friend's games on the ticker as you're playing so you can quickly check the results of people on your Buddy List.

The players move even more fluid than before, a vast improvement over the sometimes choppiness of the visuals during an intense, route-switching play.

If you are a diehard pinball fan and want pinball on your Xbox, check it out. Everyone else go to an arcade.

Above average, but nothing really innovative that left me in awe.

It's innovative in ways that "Tomb Raider" hasn't been for years. Moreover, it's just plain fun.

Having a battle fall apart when the healer is killed because you forgot to pay attention to her for fifteen seconds. Uh, a healer should be able take care of herself, at least, right? It's in their freakin' job description.

The replay value in this game is phenomenal. What other game includes online play, all the modes like Practice, Quick Game, Tournament, Situation, and Franchise, the brand new VIP addition, ability to add in your own music, and team preparation? Better yet what other game does all that for only $20?

An enjoyable test of wits that requires strategy, patience, and quick thinking.

Only negative I have with this is the fact that most of the game can be beaten by repeatedly tapping the "X" button; varying control scheme would have been nice.

Quite frankly, it's the best RPG to grace a Nintendo console since the Super Nintendo glory days.

The simple joy of web-slinging will be remembered as one of the best gameplay experiences of 2004. Easily the best use of the open-ended gameplay structure since the original "Grand Theft Auto."

For every great feature in the game it's a downside. Upgrading skills is nice, but not when it takes 30 repetitive street missions to buy the next Swing Speed. But most of all the length of the game is the biggest disappointment. A swift 8 hours of your time you can have it beat.

If you can’t enjoy a little gross-out comedy and stupid antics, you will be annoyed by much of what goes on in Slugfest. Conversely, if you keel over laughing anytime somebody gets kicked in the nuts, you’ll find Slugfest’s innovations hilarious.

One of the most forgettable games I have played in a long time. The series refuses to follow in the foot steps of the great and innovative Smackdown series on the PS2 or evolve much at all for that mater.

This is an opportunity for casual gamers to introduce themselves to what the pinnacle of Videogame quality used to be, and at the same time better appreciate the games we have available to play today.

Ultimately forgettable.

Forgettable Moment: Missions 3-23, all more or less the same, all frustratingly linear and unoriginal.

You will forget all about the sub-par graphics and sound. You just won't care, because you're having too much fun exploring and killing and moving.

There is a very satisfying mix of competitive and cooperative gameplay. And because of the way that the level design, puzzle design and all four Links work together so greatly, the end experience is a truly entertaining and enjoyable one.

The most innovative and unique title to be released in quite some time. There are many out there, like myself, who will find just what they were looking for: A thinking man’s game.

Every facet of the gameplay is brilliant, and it's wrapped in the best looking graphics on the Xbox to date. I've used the word 'immersion' in this review several times, and really it really is the aspect of Riddick that truly separates it from the pack.

Metal Slug 3, at four years old, still remains one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences on the Xbox for those who are up to the challenge it presents.

Despite a slow start, Thief manages to snow ball into a wonderfully unique experience that will appeal to some and not to others.

The lighthearted gameplay, silly innuendo, and general feel of the game are enough to make you crack a smile, even if the shallow story mode makes you sneer.

The end result is an engrossing racing experience - one which draws upon both the simulation and arcade ends of the racing spectrum and balances them perfectly in order to provide the most enjoyable rally racing experience on the Xbox.

It is inexcusable that the multiplayer mode is so underdeveloped. It is as if Rockstar came up with a nice innovation for a multiplayer mode and forgot (or simply didn’t care) to complete the programming of it.

If you’ve played the first two games in the series, chances are you’ll find little new to pique your interest. However, to fans of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, this can be an endearing quality, as the gameplay stays true to form.

Where "Grand Theft Auto" was rather playful in its depictions of crime and violence, Manhunt is simply very blunt and all too real. It doesn’t attempt to present itself as anything other than what it is: a grim and somber representation of cold-blooded murder.

Make no mistake about it, Fight Night 2004, is by far the best boxing game ever. Period. The new total punch control system adds an unprecedented amount of realism to the genre without sacrificing any of the fun.

Freestyle Street Soccer is repetitive.

Made for the hardcore fans. Everyone else is going to find a hard time enjoying its clunky gameplay and bland graphics.

The single-player campaign, while outstanding, is simply eclipsed by what is the most innovative and well-balanced online experience out there.

In case you haven't figured it out already, the gunplay in this game sucks. However, the hand to hand combat is so good that it makes up for gunplay's faults.

Sure, the AI’s nowhere near present standards. Granted, its graphics engine is severely outdated. And, yeah, it’s not breaking any records in the sound department either. But therein lies its charm. If you’re like me and have been a longtime fan of the series, you’ll find this one as comfortable to slip into as a well-worn, unwashed pair of jeans.

It is beautiful, challenging, rewarding and fun. It's a game that you could play through several times just for the hell of it, and that's before you actively try going after the many, very cool extras. It is a game that encompasses your thoughts in all walks of life.

A “play-it-safe” sequel.

Take a vacation from the Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule to explore ancient Egypt. You'll be glad you did.

GTA Double Pack is a "desert island" type of game that you can play for ten minutes to ten hours, regardless of how long you've owned it.

A great game hampered by a few shortcomings.

Long after finishing the story the multiplayer will still hold its enjoyment. It offers a drastically different experience from all the other Live action games, making it probably the newest reason to subscribe to Live.

P.N.03 may easily turn off some gamers, whether it's because of the high difficulty level or the hard to pick up controls; but once you get past those issues, you'll get a feeling of nostalgia that few games this generation will inspire.

Much to the delight of every RPG and Star Wars fan, KOTOR delivers a game that features a compelling story, robust character development, a well-refined combat interface, tons of extras, downloadable content, and the ability to explore the Star Wars universe and use all the Jedi tricks you could hope for.

Challenging gameplay, beautiful graphics, and pleasing audio make this a solid experience.

This is perhaps the greatest ever chapter in the Zelda series. It manages to be absolutely revolutionary and yet still familiar.

If you are fan of the James Bond games, then check it out. If you are looking for the next Halo you will not find it here.

Simply amazing: From start to finish it will dazzle your eyes, ears, intellect, as well as your imagination.

The gaming experience you will have playing Metroid Prime absolutely breathtaking. I find myself finding new ways to praise this game every single day.

While the game may have it’s rough spots, Shenmue 2 is a must have for ANYONE who’s played through the first, and is still worth a look to newbs looking for an epic quest to dig into.

Neither the graphics nor the sound is going to set the world on fire, but I’ve certainly seen and heard worse. The bottom line is that if you’ve got a jones for GameCube golf, there are better titles out there.

Pretend the game is the plague and avoid it at all costs.

It will take even the most hardcore gamers a couple weeks to complete 100%. Throughout the game there will be a total of 96 Shine Sprites to collect and 240 blue coins.

If you loved the first two Crazy Taxi's then you will likely enjoy the new one, though feel the new city is a bit boring and go back to the original two. Overall it is fun package worth checking out.

Weighing in with 13 maps, 26+ game modes, and a slew of adjustable options, Halo is a veritable cornucopia of multiplayer goodness. Add System Link Support to the fray, and you're looking all night frag-filled benders.
