    Bottom line, the game is fun to play. It is one of the reasons I do split time playing FIFA and MLS.

    The gameplay is tight and solid.

    SSX is missing a couple of key elements that would have put it on the same level as "Amped"; namely online gameplay. But the trade-off is a very good control system that you have to get used to.

    I do think that the player control is a little stiffer on the 360 than on the Xbox.

    Just one of the most hilarious games I have played in a long time.

    Gun
    What it does lack is a good multiplayer element. That makes the game seem "done" once you beat it. It isn't a short game to beat, but after you're done there's no online play to make you go back to it.

    But to add some of the game elements that Artoon did such as oh, almost a whole second game with the Tom Tom Gang, and weaving it into the story, not to mention the 2 player co-op mode, does add make for nice improvements over the original game.

    It's got some solid if a little frustrating gameplay, a great new way to block and counterattack, and solid graphics to back it all up.

    If you were a fan of the first Kingdom Hearts title, you owe it to yourself to play Chain of Memories, if only for the addition to the story.

    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.

    It's overall a solid title with a couple little glitchy AI issues that don't take too much away from things.
    • 74 Metascore

    There are some things missing from the game. No pre-season camps, a very basic Franchise mode, and the fact that you can't do small and meaningful things like challenge a play on the field! That I still don't get.

    The total control punching system needs some work and some smoothing out, but it's still got some playability and fun.

    The Lead Blocking adds an all new dimension to the game, the Superstar mode lets you live the life of a NFL player, and the countless number of options and features add up to hours upon hours of enjoyment.

    Once you figure it out and get rolling you'll find a fun romp. It's also extremely kid friendly, which is something parents will like to hear.

    This "episode" is much improved from previous games. The puzzles are much harder than the last game, and there is more to do this time than just click each screen and pick up everything around you to submit to the labs.

    A surprisingly solid game.

    I do wish they would have made the game similar to the brand new PS2 game with all it's new game modes instead of a simple port of the past games. But this is a start, and the addition of downloading new songs so the game doesn't get old is a pretty good thing.
    • 66 Metascore

    Still lacks a bit of replay value unless you simply want to go on a shooting spree once in a while, but that's always fun too.

    If you have FIFA from last year, and you're not worried about having the official World Cup Germany licensing and such, or the new Global Challenge mode, then there's isn't that big a reason to upgrade as the gameplay is pretty similar.

    Now RTS's are generally a little slow for me, but Evil Genius has a few elements that you have to control simultaneously, so you won't have to sit and wait long for something to build or develop.

    The controls in NCAA March Madness 2004 are tight and very responsive.

    It's about thinking, and analyzing, and actually firing neurons to solve this case. Trust me, it's not going to take you an hour to run through this game. You're going to be at it a while.

    It's one thing to be the same game and just blow you away with presentation or little tweaks to the gameplay. It's another to just be the same game. On it's merits, Tony Hawk American Wasteland is a great skateboarding game. But it is not really a next-gen game, and that's a shame.

    A brutal game that definitely deserves the M rating that it received. It is also a game that is a blast to play. Every time I sat down to play this game, it seemed like the time just flew by because I was having so much fun.

    There are some things I would have liked to have seen, like using the DDR pad for the whole game, and absolutely no online play. We're in a big online push, and I think this could have been a big thing for this game. But still, it's a solid job.

    It's a really nice combination of old and new Mortal Kombat.

    The visual presentation will suck in fans of the show, and the story should placate anyone who follows KP’s adventures. However, due to the lack of replay value, I’d advise those fans to either rent the game, or wait until the price comes down.
