    The first title was very cool, but Groove is so much better.

    The game can be finished in 15 to 20 hours. Beating it will unlock the Hard mode for those who want abit more challenge.

    Gaming used to be so simple like this. You started the game, and you had a good time just tearing into everything. No FPS controls to worry about, no complex puzzles or things like that. Just good clean fun. That's what you get with Metal Slug 3.

    If you are a fan of the series then my guess is that you already have this expansion and are enjoying it. If do not have the original then I would recommend picking yourself up a copy.

    I expected more from the single player than I got. Weapons upgrades and unlockables are cool, but a storyline that really doesn't go anywhere or suck you in, combined with lackluster computer AI bring the experience down. Almost like it's an afterthought.

    A great squad based title that sparks enough nostalgia to pay homage, but strikes out in new territory to possibly restablish the original mismanaged franchise. UFO: Aftermath has some of the best combat and control systems seen in games of this type over the last year.

    A fun and engrossing title that provides a constant unrelenting challenge. It is beautiful to watch, has some of the largest maps I’ve seen in any strategy title of this nature.

    If you already have other DDR games for your Xbox then I am not going to say you need to run out and get this one, but you won't be disappointed if you like the series.

    I can do without some of the Game Gear games in the collection, but to have Sonic CD once again just makes it worth having.

    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.

    It may not be the best looking game out there, but its style (tropical setting, sailing on the ocean) really gives you a break from the normal RPG’s where you dungeon crawl and climb countless mountains looking or a few dragons to slay.

    So how do the graphics look? Well I must say I was wholly unimpressed.

    GT is going in a good direction. If they can tighten the AI so the cars aren’t racing in the same line, clean up the catch up AI, add a damage model, and build on the weight physics than "GT5" will be a racing game to reckon with.

    The game has a very cool Anime feel to it and a pretty good sense of humor as well.

    It is by far the best Harry Potter game made to date.

    Get past the frustrating controls and you've got a really decent military game. Things like a plain looking graphic engine are balanced out by excellent computer AI.

    The replay on this game, much like other games of this ilk, is huge.

    I became addicted to this game rather quickly. Its’ balance of a developing story and increasing difficulty levels kept me coming back for more.

    While casual gamers may be put off by its complex political focus, sim and history buffs will love the accuracy this game portrays of medieval politics.
    • 66 Metascore

    There's a lot of good special effects like detailed explosions, missle trails, other giant ships and huge planets you have to fly near and around. And there are some great cutscenes using both the game engine and pre-rendered CGI to help move the storyline along.

    To jump online and totally beat the crap out of someone else's ride? That doesn't smack of fun to you?

    I honestly recommend the Xbox version because it looks better then the rest. It is also kind of hard to find a platform title for the Xbox that is geared toward children. So check it out.

    My only big complaint is that some of the missions are just too long.

    Although I personally prefer to have myself a nice little base I can call home, with turret defenses tracking the moves of all my enemies before they even see my base, this was a nice step away from the norm.

    There aren't a whole lot of games out there that you can just throw into your PS2 or Xbox and start hacking away at things. "Hunter: The Reckoning" is one, but how many other can truly "get medevil" on your ass? Looks like just one. But that is also something that can get old quickly.

    Personally, I think the game is worth it just for the multiplayer mode. I consider the single player mode an added bonus that you can play in your spare time.

    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.

    The RPG elements do add more to the title. I was starting to get tired of the same old card duel on the Game Boy Advance, now you can have a nice little story to go along with the duels.

    "WSOP" has a better Career mode than this game, and faster gameplay. But WPT has a better online mode, and slightly better computer AI.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The characters are hit and miss (especially the cop) and some of the gameplay is rather plain and leaves much more to be desired. I would love to see this game on the next generation Sony system though.
