    I love it. I became addicted to this game very quickly. My wife is starting to get jealous now.

    A must have for the Nintendo DS system. It is extremely addictive and once you play it you will not want to put it down.

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

    With the engaging storyline, deep character customization (both at creation and through the game), multiple gameplay options and exploration routes I can’t get enough of this game.

    I might get chastised for giving such a high score on the first game I’ve reviewed since coming back to Next Level Gaming, but this is one that everyone simply must play.

    This is a game without winners and losers. It's all about the personal satisfaction, and engrossing yourself in a wonderful game. Yes, I said a wonderful game.

    Reminds me of what I loved about the older Sega Sports games. Despite a couple of things that should have been taken care of before it was released, the game is more than solid, and to me one of the better all-around Baseball games I've played in a long time.

    It's a little short on replay value, but that's to be expected from a gun game.

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

    At its core Age of Empires III is basically like any other RTS.

    This game is almost perfect. There’s a large chunk of video game history packaged together in one disc. If you’re a Mega Man fan at all, you owe it to yourself to run out and buy this collection.

    Easily the best golf game to date on a console. The gameplay is solid and has been refined over the years. The course selection is great, and the Tiger Proofing adds more to those courses.

    If you ever played ping-pong a day in your life, you will have instant respect for this title. I just wish it had more depth to it.

    It's easy to play, looks awesome, and is outright fun. Fore!!!

    A great game. I love the flow that the game has.

    The best thing about this title is that it was clearly made for the fans of the show.

    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.

    It's is familiar in gameplay, yet unique because you're a droid.

    Once my kids graduate the first thing I thought about was having babies so they could grow up and I could send them off to college.

    With the graphics aside, this has to be the best version of Madden this year due to the control factor.

    You won't even believe how nearly identical the game is to it's PS2 counterpart. If ever there was the "perfect port", this is very close to what you'll get.

    The new Konquest mode is ok but nothing major. And I do wish the controls weren't so unforgiving sometimes. It's still Mortal Kombat though, and that's totally ok with me.

    While I would have liked to have seen online gameplay (and I do take off points for that), the single player campaign is very stong, and the storyline will keep you sucked into it. The controls are great, and the presentation is great.

    And it's backed up by authentic sound effects, some decent music, and the vocal stylings once again of veteran commentator Tim Kitzrow.

    It's got more Marvel Superheroes and Villans than I knew even existed. It's got the same rock-solid gameplay I've come to expect. And it's got some nice new team focus additions that make the game even better.

    But yes, the graphics are better...insanely better. Better to a point that you should trade in your Xbox version to get this if you're getting an Xbox 360.

    It's not the controls or the FPS feel that started to get me into the game. It's the variation of the missions and your specific goals that make PDZ so interesting and addicting.
