One thing Call of Duty: Finest Hour manages to do with success is take everything from graphics to sound, from music to gameplay; and toss it all into one big can of whoop-ass and make a great game.- Next Level Gaming

If you are looking for an epic battle game that takes place in the ancient world, go get yourself a copy of "Rome Total War," if you want an awesome battle game where you are one soldier against many foes then go get yourself a copy of "God of War."- Next Level Gaming

There is not a whole lot of good things I can say about the storyline in this game. Frankly I just wanted the characters to stop talking so I could try and enjoy the game.- Next Level Gaming

But even with the mini-games and ability to replay the levels, I'm not 100% sure how much of an interest the game will hold. I wonder if after 2-3 days with it even the kids will get bored. For that, I say renting it is the best bet.- Next Level Gaming

I cannot believe the presentation level is that far below it's Xbox and PC counterparts. It's been a long time since I've seen that level of difference.- Next Level Gaming

There are enough countries, enough modes and good enough graphics and sound to make you forget you’re playing a handheld, and the controls should feel very natural (especially if you played on the PS2).- Next Level Gaming

It's a must for old schoolers and also a must for the younger generation so they can see what we had to play and how far videogaming has come in the last 20 years.- Next Level Gaming

Shooting has been made a lot easier. That experiment of hitting the circle button twice to shoot is thankfully over. Instead, it's like a normal hoops game where you hold down the button until you get to the peak of your shot, and then let go.- Next Level Gaming

The music, controls, combat and environments all feel like they are straight out of my SNES, simply updated with a few nice touches added on for fun. Basically this game was put together well, and they stayed true to their design core.- Next Level Gaming

There is so much game packed in here because of what it's based on that you could literally get lost inside of it. But I hope you get the gist of how the game is played. It's totally a thinking person's game.- Next Level Gaming

Having only a single player mode for a game like this doesn't help the cause either. So Amped 3 ends up being pretty good, but not great.- Next Level Gaming

While I would have liked to have seen online gameplay (and I do take off points for that), the single player campaign is very stong, and the storyline will keep you sucked into it. The controls are great, and the presentation is great.- Next Level Gaming

This game doesn't have a whole lot going for it outside of the gorgeous backgrounds (which, again, are awesome). Between the slow moving story, the awkward controls, and the inability to discern some of the important items on the screen, I really don't think the game is worth spending time playing.- Next Level Gaming

This is the first of the fully-featured Xbox 360 sports games from EA, and it's got everything you missed in the launch title. And it's definitely what I would consider to be a "next-generation" game. When you play it, you'll see from the kickoff exactly what I mean.- Next Level Gaming

One hell of a good Indy simulator. Fine for single and multi-player if you can't get online. Once again, a solid effort and more proof that Codemasters truly knows racing games.- Next Level Gaming

Minus the graphics, NASCAR '07 is just as solid as it's predecessors. The skill points are nice, as are the driver attributes. And a new story mode is always good.- Next Level Gaming

Heroes covers a totally different set of rules and a different story. And a strong multiplayer setup which allows players to jump in and out at will make this a game not only should you have, but one your friends should pick up too.- Next Level Gaming

If you missed the original "Hunter: The Reckoning" because you just purchased your Xbox, then you have a chance to see what made the original so good. The only thing that really for me takes some of the replayability off this game is a lack of online gameplay.- Next Level Gaming

A solid game. The only issue I really have with it is that it's very linear. Once you're done with it, it's not really going to get played again...Namco gets a lot of credit for trying something a little creative in a very crowded genre.- Next Level Gaming

It's got a good story that changes depending on how you play it, and decent although not perfect control. And it's got online gameplay, which right there is a big reason to play it.
