Hot graphics, solid controls, decent fun factor, online gameplay which the first game didn't have; but a totally shallow game.- Next Level Gaming

It's fast, it's intense, and it looks really good. But it's also very short, and slightly repetitive.- Next Level Gaming

People will either love it or hate it. The cartoon graphics are pretty good for what they are, but some people may have wanted a more realistic look and feel to the movie.- Next Level Gaming

Sadly there were a couple of things that I didn’t like. After each duel you and your opponent decide on how well each other did. This to me is just not a good idea.- Next Level Gaming

I have enjoyed this expansion even with the crashes, load times and sad, sad storyline. Just like its predecessor its nice to find a shooter that isn’t in WWII or Vietnam, in fact it is very reminiscent of Heretic.- Next Level Gaming

Overall, my biggest complaint is that the game seemed to drag on. It can be tough to pace a game that relies so heavily on puzzle-solving, but this game seemed really dull at points.- Next Level Gaming

If you have always wanted to control a main unit on the battlefield in an RTS game then I recommend getting this title. If you are a die-hard RTS fan and you only want that then I have mixed feelings about this game for you.- Next Level Gaming

It provides cool new weapons, a long demanded artillery vehicle, and some cool enhancements to base capture and defense. However, it does not change the general Planetside experience: finding a good server with dedicated players and logging on at the right time for real action.- Next Level Gaming

While Nightshade does have its positives, they are far outweighed by the negatives. The hours of frustration because of the difficulty made me want to pull my hair out times. It’s a shame too because this title had so much potential that it didn’t fulfill.- Next Level Gaming

It's certainly not a realistic bowling game by any stretch, but it is fun and with up to four players it not bad to have to whip out at a party or if you just want to throw a few games. Good job.- Next Level Gaming

I was glad to see so many different modes, but the only two that were really worthwhile were Story and Memories. Add that to the shoddy graphics and terrible music, and you have a below average game.- Next Level Gaming

It's ok for a secondary Football game if you have friends over, or want to go online occasionally. But as a single player game, or something you play leagues with on the PS2, I think this is the year Blitz doesn't quite fit in. And I love Midway, so this is a very difficult thing to say.- Next Level Gaming

But it's a general rule that when you knock down your opponent, you should be able to stomp on them, pin them, or something like that. Well, not here. Unless you actually knock your opponent down and stun them, you can't grab them or anything until they get back up on their own.- Next Level Gaming

My other major complaint about the game is with the difficulty levels. The difficulty levels are fairly lopsided, Easy is too easy for someone who has played any other dance games, Medium is a huge jump up from it, and I was really not ready for it, then there is the hard setting which is just crazy.- Next Level Gaming
