    I'm of the belief that you should always leave your audiences wanting more instead of wishing for the experience to end. While some might consider that a sign that a game is too short, I was satisfied and indeed wanted more.

    A great party game especially when three of your friends are over to play games. While it is more fun with four players, you need just a minimum of two players. The biggest drawback to the game is the fact that you need a GameCube, a GameBoy Advance, and GBA-GC link cable.

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

    First and foremost, you're going to get your hands on some cracker-jack weaponry, both firearm and silent. Each weapon has a standard and secondary fire, which depending on the weapon is pretty cool.

    They made it just too hard in some places. When I am stuck on a level for as long as I was, that's too hard. When you have to start from the beginning of a level after almost beating it, and the level is almost 7 minutes long; that is too hard.

    Not a bad fighting game. The game looks pretty nice with cool familiar backdrop levels and the characters look like the cartoon characters. It just seems clunky to play at times.

    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.

    It follows the story line and the characters from the comic well, and does a great job of capturing the overall mood of the series, but the gameplay itself doesn't have the right attitude.

    Unlike its predecessor, Jedi Academy is action-packed from the very beginning where Jedi Outcast was a little sluggish to start. You don't need to worry about waiting to earn a lightsaber because you've built one from the beginning.

    Not only are the levels in the game massive, they are also graphically beautiful.

    I just didn't quite get into Manhunt the way I wanted to because of the wierd control setup. This game just doesn't do justice with a GTA-style control system. It's not the same game.

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

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

    The adventures to be had, the replayability available from the choices to be made, and the sheer experience of playing a Jedi with your own ship and crew is mind blowing.

    There's a lot of good special effects like detailed explosions, missle trails, other giant ships and huge planets you have to fly near and around. And there are some great cutscenes using both the game engine and pre-rendered CGI to help move the storyline along.

    I-Ninja is a sword swinging fool too; with some solid animations for a little dumpy character. And watching him slice in half a Ranx robot is really nice, with green ooze coming out of them as they fall perfectly in two.

    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.

    Terrible graphics, repetetive levels, extremely low difficulty, and music that will make you wish you were deaf. There's honestly just no excuse for games this bad to be made anymore. In short, do not buy, rent, play, or even look at this game ever, for any reason.

    The game is hampered by very bad laggy gameplay that seems like in some of the game levels (mostly all of them) it is running at 5 fps.

    The collision detection in this game is also downright horrible. You will punch an enemy for 10 minutes before you land a single punch.

    I'll be definitely playing it online, and I hope to see you. But that's really all this game is. And it's all you should expect out of it.

    Hands down the best racing game of the year. And I would even go a little farther and say with the exception of the original Project Gotham Racing at the time, PGR2 is one of the best racing games I've put my hands on. The sheer depth of the game alone is far beyond anything that has been done to date.

    A game that I simply can not get enough of.

    The lack of anything truly innovative, and the so-so gameplay doesn’t offer any incentive to want to play the game for an extended period of time. I was not having fun with the game at all.

    One of the sleeper hits of the holiday season. Certainly worth checking out!

    The use of Redmond the Rabbit is very innovative, and does add a different element to a game. It's also solid looking, and solid albeit a little complex in the controls.

    There is so much game packed in here because of what it's based on that you could literally get lost inside of it. But I hope you get the gist of how the game is played. It's totally a thinking person's game.
