    I liked the game. And I played the hell out of it.

    The game that we have been waiting for. It is the best GTA game on a portable system and it made a smooth transition from console to portable.

    But the real star of this 2 disc set is DOA 2 Ultimate, which takes a game that I thought blew away the competition back then, and gives it a hypershot in the arm. It has become by far the best in the DOA series.

    Ace Combat 5 adds a little, takes a little, but still ends up being the best in it's class. A top notch movie-like story helps that along, as well as a eye-melting graphic engine.

    What has struck me most about Outrun2 is that Sega has designed the entire game around the original single-player arcade game, complete with slick car and cute girlfriend in the passenger seat, branching track levels, and yes, that familiar music. It's the same game I remembered playing so long ago, but with a total graphical upgrade for starters, and so much more under the hood!

    Scaler is fun and easy to play. Its colorful characters will be sure to satisfy the children out there.

    The characters in the game look incredible with a lot of detail and animation. The animations get repetitive after a while, but they are very smooth; and sometimes bust-out-loud funny.

    If you are looking for a game full of non-stop action and not much thought involved, Otogi 2 is the game for 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.

    Still lacks a bit of replay value unless you simply want to go on a shooting spree once in a while, but that's always fun too.

    It's all good until you actually have to start using your martial arts skills. Then it's a lesson in frustration.

    Really good storytelling woven into a solid gameplay engine and some good graphics and sound make this a game that I would happily recommend.

    Squad based action, super online gameplay, and solid controls make Tribes: Vengeance just about a must-have game, especially if you are an FPS fan.

    A decent fighter, but it doesn’t really compare to the other 3D fighters that are out now. It looks real good, but it seems most of the effort was put in to the 3D conversion. This left other areas of the game to suffer.

    Bottom line, this game is simply not worth taking the time to play.

    And it's not so much the backgrounds or stadiums, which don't get me wrong look great, but the animation of the players. EA Sports has always managed to get the players running, tackling, goalkeeping, and kicking right on the money. Even better than last year's game.

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

    An excellent follow up to the original. It provides plenty of the action, and it is one of the bloodiest games I have seen to date.

    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.

    Bottom line, this game is very, very good, but it is not a system seller. If you already own a GameCube, I highly recommend buying this game.

    Just one of the most hilarious games I have played in a long time.

    This "episode" is much improved from previous games. The puzzles are much harder than the last game, and there is more to do this time than just click each screen and pick up everything around you to submit to the labs.
