I can see the series getting a little tired, and it doesn't quite have that magical "aura" that the first couple did. But nonetheless there's plenty to keep you busy.- Next Level Gaming

The new Konquest mode is ok but nothing major. And I do wish the controls weren't so unforgiving sometimes. It's still Mortal Kombat though, and that's totally ok with me.- Next Level Gaming

Radical Entertainment did a wonderful job not only keeping Scarface close to the source material, but also creating a sequel to a movie that was never going to see a sequel.- Next Level Gaming

A worthy sequel to an already solid game. New missions, and fantastic new online modes makes SOCOM II one of the better online titles on the PS2.- Next Level Gaming

SRS has a lot of good things going for it, including some solid comtrols and AI, a very good online mode with pink slips and all, and a very open ended racing system.- Next Level Gaming

Electronic Arts really has turned the Need For Speed series into something very special. The series was starting to get old with rehash after rehash, now each Underground title seems to get better and better with every release.- Next Level Gaming

Personally, I would have preferred they left out the new modes and added online play. The new modes were poorly executed, and online play would have made a great game even better.- Next Level Gaming

Better song quality and duets are what make Volume 3 a must have for fans of the series. And don't forget, this is a heck of a party game to pull out at your kids birthday party, or if you're just having some friends over.- Next Level Gaming

In some areas, the graphics rival that of the PS2 version. Spider-Man looks sharp, the cut-scenes are cool, and the environments are nicely done. In addition to looking good, the game also runs very smoothly.- Next Level Gaming

I have yet to play a game even against the computer that I have not enjoyed with Inside Drive 2004. It does a lot, but it doesn't try to do too much, which I have found even in "ESPN Basketball."- Next Level Gaming

The Xbox 360 version is where the biggest jump should have been, but fell a bit short. In fact, even in 720p/1080i High Definition, there only thing you gain over the Xbox and PS2 games is the clarity of the in-game textures. And clarity isn't strong enough a word! Borderline photo-realistic is probably a better word to use.- Next Level Gaming

The controls are easy to learn but hard to master. I say hard to master because you have to not only know the club you want to use for the placement of the ball, but you have a number of different types of swings to consider.- Next Level Gaming
