Frustrating and slow gameplay may scare off gamers not ready to give the game an extended try. But I have to say once again that at least someone is stepping up and trying something new.- Next Level Gaming

I hate to say this after being such a fan of much of Peter’s and the Lionhead Studios work, but once again Fable turns out to be nothing more than a legend.- Next Level Gaming

The Xbox is so capable of performing graphics that could blow these out of the water. There is so much to like about this game, but people are going to be turned off by how bad these graphics have made a downgrade from its PC brother.- Next Level Gaming

At its core, this is an old-school RPG. So if you are looking for a turn based RPG that you can play in the palm of your hand or if you are just feeling nostalgic for the days of yore, then you might want to check this game out.- Next Level Gaming

Frustrating because on one hand it does offer and present many cool things to the tactical strategy game genre – and does those things well, but on the other hand has poor design choices that make the game an endeavor just to enjoy the good aspects.- Next Level Gaming

The replay in any of these titles is much less than what you would find with the PC version. The linear storyline, and structured game flow really cut down on the nearly limitless options that are at your disposal in the computer version of the Sims games.- Next Level Gaming

Midway and Pitbull Syndicate missed a golden opportunity to really give "Burnout Revenge" a run for it's money, knowing what I know about the series. But instead, this game goes after "Midnight Club." And it does it without online gameplay, which I can't figure out at all.- Next Level Gaming

Not a bad game, but it seems very rushed. It also feels like the N-gage game, which downright sucked. But the framerate seems much faster, and the fact that the map is at the bottom is cool.- 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

The Xbox Live will keep you happy for a very long time. There are some issues with the Xbox controller. Maybe I just have fat fingers, but I think it is best if you use a larger Arcade controller.- Next Level Gaming

As long as you change the voice-overs to the original Japanese dialog, the game will be tolerable. If you have been looking for a traditional, turn-based RPG for the Xbox 360, then this one is a nice option.- Next Level Gaming

This is a nice game for fans of the genre; however, if you are looking for a game to jump in and out of quickly this may not be the one for you. The problem is that you must spend much of your time micro-managing your units, telling them when to fire, when to charge and where to move.- Next Level Gaming

It's a middle of the road 3rd person shooter lost in a rather large genre. It has some small control and camera issues, but those can be overcome. But I can't overcome the feeling of disinterest I have playing the game.- Next Level Gaming

If you are looking for a game to play for a few minutes when you get home from work to blow off some steam without asking you to think or work to hard, then this might just be a game for you. However, if you want a game that will push your skills to the limit, then you will quickly get bored with this game.- Next Level Gaming

Critical Hour just isn't going to get much playtime from me anymore. It's fine to rent for a weekend, but you're doing yourself better by getting an Xbox 360 and playing "Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter" in wait for "Rainbow Six: Vegas."- Next Level Gaming

There's not enough nudity to satisfy fans of the magazine, and there's not enough depth of gameplay to satisfy sim-gamers. Really the only people who might get into Playboy: The Mansion are Playboy historians, and even they won't find a whole lot of reasons to keep playing.- Next Level Gaming

One thing that I was kind of disappointed about with King Arthur is the fact that it goes by too damn quick. You basically hack and slash your enemies until the end, and that is pretty much what the game comes down too; hacking and slashing.- Next Level Gaming

Due to the game not having sufficient resources, the rosters ended up taking a big hit as none of the players appear to be on the right teams. If we do see a "MVP '08," I do hope that EA does place the passion and resources back into the franchise which plays a fairly great game of baseball.- Next Level Gaming
