    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.

    The return of the police is an excellent addition to the game, too bad that they are not available for online play.

    This is a game without winners and losers. It's all about the personal satisfaction, and engrossing yourself in a wonderful game. Yes, I said a wonderful game.

    The action-RPG element really gave Raven Soft the ability to expand on the characters and give you more control than you've ever had with them.

    If the movie delivers as well as the DS version of the game did, I’ll be a very happy camper.

    While the game moved from the arcade feel to more a realistic feel, the impressive graphics remain.

    The Total Team Controls add a new level of depth to the series that makes things much more interesting.

    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.

    With the graphics aside, this has to be the best version of Madden this year due to the control factor.

    One of the big improvements from the original game that we found to be very nice was the open-ended story. You don't have to finish the game in a linear mode.

    What starts out as just another "corridor FPS", turned into a game that grows as you play, and sucks you in.

    There is a tremendous amount of detail in the character models that are already game in addition to all of the options available when creating your own character.

    I like more of a sim aspect in my sports games which leaves me undecided about the new arcadish feel of this game.

    UEFA Euro 2004 is more arcade than sim, but it is still a fairly realistic soccer game...There isn’t much new in UEFA that you wouldn’t find in "FIFA."

    It's got solid and easy-to-learn gameplay, a very good career mode, and online gameplay which to me always adds points to my score.

    If you ever played ping-pong a day in your life, you will have instant respect for this title. I just wish it had more depth to it.

    The storyline is fun, and the game will make you chuckle, if not sometimes outright make you spit your soda onto the screen.

    Take the great graphics and mix it up with the innovative HUD-less fighting system and solid boxing engine and the result is an excellent boxing game that is at the top of its class.

    Solid graphics with a consistent feel, one of the best story presentations I have seen in a game since the original Half-Life, mixed all together with a variety of puzzles and changing environments combine to make a knockout of a title.

    Another solid job by 989 Sports.

    It's a quirky and sometimes twisted game, but it's fun, and it's got a good story to it.

    The storyline, while cliché, has some interesting twists, and the progression of the narrative through the chapters, and increased sense of doom that occurs midway through the game as you face a orc horde backed by dragons leads to some interesting moments.

    Moreso than previous years, the graphics in NHL 06 are very tight. Still not Visual Concepts spectacular, but getting there.
