    I have yet to play a game even against the computer that I have not enjoyed with Inside Drive 2004. It does a lot, but it doesn't try to do too much, which I have found even in "ESPN Basketball."

    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.

    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.

    A game that I simply can not get enough of.

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

    It lacked the punch that you need to have to compete in a post Halo, post Ubi-Soft FPS world. Definitely rent it first.

    A dream come true for console gamers who have wanted to have a online adventure game! I have always loved the Everquest series for the PC, and the transition over to the Playstation was a smooth one.

    A must have for anyone that is looking for an engrossing story or adventure and wants a change of pace from mainstream gaming genres.

    Not only does it have 20 of the hottest cars in the world, but customizing them is half the fun. And you can play this game online, which is a big must for the PS2 right now.

    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.

    My biggest gripe about the player models is that their heads are too big.

    If you like “sneaker” type thinking games, I am fairly certain that you would enjoy this game quite a bit.

    The perfect mix of action and strategy. The challenges within are tough enough to keep you interested, but not so easy that you will complete the game in a few days.

    Yes, the customizing of the cars is extremely sweet, and it does have 4 player split screen gaming which is good. But there is no soundtrack customization, no 480p support, and no online play. Everything else NFS: Underground does outside of customizing your car "Project Gotham Racing 2" does better, including Xbox Live support.

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

    Does an excellent job rekindling the fun and excitement found in previous MarioKart titles. The addition of some new gaming elements and awesome visual and audio presentations make this a quality title.

    On the GameCube, you can count the number of racing games on your right hand. And with the 480p support for HDTV owners, it's a racer that stands on the more realistic side of the fence across from "Mario Kart."

    Computer AI is the big problem, it's sometimes frustratingly hard, and unrealistic. But that's it. Everything else about ESPN College Hoops is gravy.

    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.

    The game looks great, no doubt about it, but it controls terribly, and just isn't any fun to play.

    Simply more of Dungeon Siege. There’s new stuff, new areas, new dungeons and so on. More, however, isn’t always better. While there’s a stack of new additions, the new campaign is less entertaining than the original.

    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.

    No, the game doesn't look as good as a "SOCOM II," but the gameplay I think is pretty solid, and it's got some really good online play to it.

    The controls, the learning curve, the difficulty, and the story all make this game possible to be enjoyed by gamers of almost any age without feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed. I seriously can't say enough good things about this game.

    Nothing is more basketball than humiliating your opponent with ball handling and dribbling, and the Freestyle Control offers the gratification and humiliation experienced by any player no a court that was just faked out in front of a sell-out crowd.

    Failed miserably in execution and you will not find me playing this game again because I just don’t think it is very fun to play.

    Is it the next "DDR?" No. Will a 13 year old girl love this game? Yeah, I think so.

    The horrible shot controls simply aren't saved by a good presentation and online play.
    • 56 Metascore

    Easily beaten within a few hours, with no memorable moments has me questioning what Monolith was thinking.
