Personally, I would have preferred they left out the new modes and added online play. The new modes were poorly executed, and online play would have made a great game even better.

A brand new story that will keep you totally engrossed. Updated graphics and the same great gameplay with brand new Bullet Time effects.

It is clear that the development team used the development cycle to full effect and have created a fantastic game, with all the components coming to together expertly.

It's also extremely kid friendly, which is something parents will like to hear.

Boxers look exactly like their real-life counterparts. Their faces are perfect, and their body styles are equally impressive. While you're taking punches, you'll see the damage done on the boxer's faces, including swelling and blood.

I know that I love this game!

The GameCube finally has a kick-ass RPG that they can call their own. I am simply blown away by Tales of Symphonia. The graphics are beautiful, the music is awesome, the voices are top-notch and the game play is to die for.

The controls in NBA Live 2004 are tight and very responsive. The freestyle controls have been toned down from last year. This year, the freestyle controls are more suited for the skill players who handle the ball regularly.

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.

The complete list of changes Conquests offers makes it well worth the price of admission – especially if you were able to kick this horrible addiction for a while.

With a superior dynasty mode, better graphics, good enough to be fun controls, and a sick $20 price tag, I can not think of an excuse not to have this game.

I'm addicted to the gameplay.

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

Not just a little bit better than the original; it's a LOT better. And I don't mean it to say that the original Unreal Champ was bad. It was great. But this is on another level.

The only thing that gets on my nerves is not being able to always use deadly force. It is not only risky to stop and give the suspects a chance to shot first, but also its just more fun to shot first and ask questions later.

This game is HUGE. There are so many places to go and explore on your journey it is not even funny!

If you put it up against almost any GBA game released this year, Astro knocks 'em flat.

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

Sit down with fable, take it slow, and really enjoy all that there is to be seen here. I think fable isn't about genre defining gameplay, it's about creative invention. It pulls players in and makes you actually feel like you are a hero and not just controlling one arbitrarily.

All I can say is WOW! This game is amazing! Shadow Hearts: Covenant is in my opinion one of the best RPG to hit the scene this year.

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

The gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel. The fight has been taken right to the competition, and EA might just be catching up in the Basketball department.

Overall, this game is brilliant. Great gameplay, good graphics, witty writing and a rich storyline support this game and make it one of the best of its genre.

Easily the best Smackdown game of them all. And it right up there with best wrestling games for any of the three big game systems.

This game rocks! It is like "Grand Theft Auto 3" on a skateboard! I am so glad the developers chose to go in a new direction with the Tony Hawk franchise! This game is by far the best of all 5 titles to date!

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.

This is in fact the cream of the crop of Action RPG's.
