    There are just a few things wrong with this game, like repetitive land battles, horrible AI and no save options that lead me to the conclusions that no one should get this game. There are plenty of great pirate games out there, if you want a good one look elsewhere.

    The only redeeming value this game has going for it is its affordable price tag, under 20 bucks, however that does not excuse a poor game.

    This storyline is strange and is not developed during the game at all. They should never have put a storyline in the game.

    I am not usually one to judge a game based on its graphics, but it is unforgivable to have a game look this bad so late in the Xbox's life cycle.

    What in the blue hell was going on when they released this out the door?
    • 45 Metascore

    The problem is that they failed at making either the storyline or the action engaging and fun.

    As for Torino 2006, I would look in the bargain bin for "International Winter Sports 2002" instead.

    Now that this review is done I’m going to try my best to forget that I ever played this game or even worse, had to spend enough time on it to write a review about it.

    The controls remind me of what "Tomb Raider" would be if it were strung out on crack. I think I can honestly say that I hate the controls in this game.

    Seeing as the graphics are the best part of this game, that is a very sad thing indeed, as I consider graphics to be the least important part of a game.

    This is supposed to be the Microsoft Xbox, the most powerful system out of the big three. So why does this game look like a mediocre Playstation 2 game? The mech machines designs are very boring, the graphics and texture throughout the whole game are stale and bland.

    It needs a boat load of work. More cases, more challenge, and better animation could make this game a reasonable buy. I thought Kung-Fu Theater went out in the 80's?

    There's two cops, Mike and Marcus. Where's the two player simultaneous co-op mode?

    A lack of an engaging storyline.

    With so many options out there for RPG fans, I cannot bring myself to recommend this game to anyone. The storyline is annoying and the gameplay is slow, not even the graphics help the game any.

    What we are left with is a game without a defined audience, and is really annoying. Maybe they’ll make a sequel- a fighting game where you just smack Hayami up and down the street. I’d probably play that.

    I am sorry, I love Electronic Arts, but this game is really bad. The graphics are pretty decent, but it can’t save this game from its horrible controls.

    It's just a shame that it's got quite possibly the worst gameplay I've seen in a fighting game I think ever. When I can't play a game for more than 5-6 minutes at a time, that is NOT a good thing.

    With all of the gameplay and control issues, the game simply isn’t any fun.

    Way too easy and repetitive. The weak visual presentation and screwy controls just reaffirm my point here.

    It's sad, because a game that is made exclusively for the Xbox (the system commonly thought to be at the top of the current-gens) shouldn't be outdone by a title released for Gamecube and PS2 over 2 years ago.

    Besides the fact that I should never be able to sit down and beat a game in my first sitting, there's absolutely nothing that makes me want to go back and play it again.

    Now on to the biggest problem of this title. It is simply too short.
