    I have to be honest, in order of what I would prefer to do with this story, I would choose to read the book again, then watch the movie, follow far behind by playing this game.

    The more I have played this game, the higher my review score has gone. The farther I got in, the more I enjoyed the puzzles, and the more I appreciated the throwback to the game that started all of this.

    This game is simply sub-par to it's Xbox counterpart, and I would really like to hear from anyone who plays both games and disagrees with me.

    What happens when a game does all of the little things right, but doesn't deliver much in the gameplay department? That's exactly what happened with Cars.

    Despite an interesting story and what should have been a solid puzzle solving game engine, it just turns out to be too easy and to be honest a little on the boring side for me.

    I will commend EA for not porting over the Xbox 360 version and just adding a fresh coat of paint. They went ahead and added new Blackhand moves, new executions, upgraded graphics, new side missions, and a host of many new features on your way to becoming the Don of NY.

    The game clocks in at only $20. That really is not bad for a game like this. I used to enjoy pinball when I was a child. And going back to something like this really brought back memories.

    Frustrating, when things like camera angles get in your way the game starts to loose any fun that you may have been having.

    If you're above the age of 13, you may find this game extremely boring, and somewhat lackluster. It's got the makings of a fun-filled 3D fighting game, but it just unfortunately doesn't deliver like it should.

    A game of epic proportions.

    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's not groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be. Kids don't care about that. They care about having fun playing it, and I think that is where Activision has succeeded here.

    It suffers because of its story. All of the twists and turns and never knowing what is really going on detracts from all of the cool moves and action the game provides.

    This is not only one of the better Dragon Ball games in recent memory, but also one of the best Game Boy Advance titles of the year.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Bottom line, this game is simply not worth taking the time to play.

    If you have played through the original game than this expansion will offer you little in the way of new excitement.

    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.

    The game has attitude to it that other games don't. And it looks good too.

    If you haven’t played the current gen versions, then Blitz for the 360 is worth a pickup at the $39.99 price tag, but if you have played this already then the most you will get out of the game on 360 is XBL Online Leagues and Achievements.

    You get the sense when playing King of Fighters: Maximum Impact - Maniax that you're not really supposed to explore that third dimension, since the first two dimensions are what SNK know intimately.

    As good as the skeleton may be, the substance just isn't there.

    The thing that really brings this game to the point of being a great package is the fact of getting the very cool Pelican Silent Scope Light Rifle for the Xbox. The gun itself is a real treat and worth the bones alone because not only can you use it with Silent Scope Complete, but you can also break the rifle down into a regular gun and use it on basically any Xbox game that supports a light gun.

    I must say that I was actually very impressed with the sounds in SWAT: Global Strike Team.

    But even with the mini-games and ability to replay the levels, I'm not 100% sure how much of an interest the game will hold. I wonder if after 2-3 days with it even the kids will get bored. For that, I say renting it is the best bet.

    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.

    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.

    • 64 Critic Score
    Many who like the film should like this game, but I seriously had a time getting through the game. Not because it was hard, but because my heart was just not into it.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The most important thing is that SWAT: Global Strike Team is just a damn fun game to play. I must say that I am a little disappointed about not being able to play online but the extra downloadable content through Xbox Live does help ease the pain.
