    This is a story driven game with the emphasis on gun play rather than mindless wandering around. Red Dead certainly delivers this at every turn and is well worth a look if shooting is your thing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    My only real complaint is that they took out a lot of the tension in the game. I guess making it more accessible to the casual gamers that lack patience.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The game play does get repetitive as you simply go from A to B doing the same things over and over with little variation except in weapons and levels.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Lacklustre combat and awful graphics.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A huge success for boxing fans and gamers alike, and is well worth a purchase, but with lackluster commentary, no custom soundtrack support, and, like all current EA titles, no Xbox Live support, it falls just short of the greatness that could have been.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    It is the first time that any game allows players to play from a third-person perspective against others playing in the first person view. With eight maps to play on, all very different from each other and three types of game-play, this game will last you for a very long time.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The greatest experience I have ever had in all my years of gaming. That’s right Xbox owners, in many regards it even surpasses "Halo."
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Despite displaying some excellent game play ideas the overall execution and presentation lets the title down. The controls being overly fiddly don’t help matters and the lacklustre combat fails to inspire.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With a little patience regarding the overall speed of the game you will find an entertaining title that will grip you to the end. Not essential but a good game all round.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Cool game play mechanics and heaps of atmosphere.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Once you strip away the western theme of the game you are left with pretty much a standard shooter that offers no frills entertainment.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The few camera issues that you may have are merely teething troubles and will soon make way to pure unadulterated ninja killing with style and flair. This game has Xbox classic written all over it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The movement feels realistic as you plod along in your heavy machine, building up speed and even fall over when you try to turn too quickly or encounter undulating ground. The physics are as realistic as you could possibly imagine and one wonders why no government has actually made one.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game is visually pleasing to the eye but fails to produce any major "wows" overall.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With its new cinematic approach to the series it has captured the essence of what Bond does in the movies very well.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Lets hope for the next game they incorporate the vehicles and more of the tactical play into the story.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game runs smoothly and offers decent competition from the cpu cars.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The game plays extremely smoothly with slightly 'iffy' storylines.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The whole game looks wonderful and the controls feel great, in fact there is no faulting this game except when you are defending, you just don’t seem to have a chance against the opposition.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Graphically R Racing looks poor, especially the track detail.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Quaint.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The changes that have been made are the best compromise for a multi platform release but I can't help wishing it was as in-depth statistics wise as the first game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The simplistic nature of the game play makes it pale in contrast to its peers such as the previously mentioned "Brute Force" and "Freedom Fighters."
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The animation is superb and very fluid. The controls are simple enough with a great interface.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The slightly dull and unadventurous graphics really dont impress on Xbox and could have been better.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is one of those great videogame moments that you see the passion of the designers making the game really show in the end product.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    So full of character and style that you will find it hard to put the controller down.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A welcome change from the norm and if it wasn’t for the awkward camera angles, it would have been a top class game instead of an above average game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This has to be the best Real Time Strategy game available on the Xbox but considering what else is around, this is no hard feat to achieve, but in its defence, it will take some beating with such a great control interface and one that other companies will have to aim at to beat.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    With such a huge plot and many, many puzzles to solve, this game should take an experience gamer quite some time to finish if they don’t deviate from the main story.
