    Even though Morrowind is a one player game, there is a LOT of replay value, especially now with the expansion packs. Since there are 12 different races, 21 different classes, 6 different guilds, 5 different political houses, and no "one way" to do things, the possibilities are endless, and its not likely you will play the exact same game twice.

    A decent game. The graphics, sound and gameplay are all entertaining enough to keep most gamers happy. The challenge isn’t exactly that of Everest, but it is definitely worth one run through.

    Features some very good arcade-style gameplay that will somewhat take you back to the start of the videogame era, the days when you could play a arcade game for .25 cent, the days when you thought games like "Pac-Man" and "Pong" kicked ass.

    I must say that I was actually very impressed with the sounds in SWAT: Global Strike Team.

    The one thing that brings the game down in score is the still lanky graphics engine.

    The most important thing is that SWAT: Global Strike Team is just a damn fun game to play. I must say that I am a little disappointed about not being able to play online but the extra downloadable content through Xbox Live does help ease the pain.

    I am happy to say that the strong point of Gladius is its’ game play.

    It really only has two problems, both of which can be overcome very easily. It's way to easy in the single player mode, and the lack of true 4 dimensional movement keep the game from being super great.

    The storyline, while cliché, has some interesting twists, and the progression of the narrative through the chapters, and increased sense of doom that occurs midway through the game as you face a orc horde backed by dragons leads to some interesting moments.

    It's ok for a secondary Football game if you have friends over, or want to go online occasionally. But as a single player game, or something you play leagues with on the PS2, I think this is the year Blitz doesn't quite fit in. And I love Midway, so this is a very difficult thing to say.

    My only complaint is that I have beaten it, and now I'm done. It was a bit short for me.

    A fun and engrossing title that provides a constant unrelenting challenge. It is beautiful to watch, has some of the largest maps I’ve seen in any strategy title of this nature.

    Whether you’re trying to find rare ingredients to try that next spell on your list, testing out new recipes or just making sure your Sims crap when they need to… this game is still very capable of stealing large portions of your life from you.

    The difficulty is also right on point- not easy enough to blow straight through it, but not hard enough to frustrate anyone.

    A must have for the sports fan, and for anyone who even remotely enjoys the game of Tennis. It is the beat-all-end-all of Tennis games as it stands right now.

    If you missed the original "Hunter: The Reckoning" because you just purchased your Xbox, then you have a chance to see what made the original so good. The only thing that really for me takes some of the replayability off this game is a lack of online gameplay.

    The backgrounds look as gorgeous as any snowboarding game I've seen, with lots of lush snow, trees, houses and lodges, and other objects strewn about. The mountain courses are linked together, and well built.

    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.

    Other then some updated graphics there is really nothing new here.

    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!

    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.

    It provides cool new weapons, a long demanded artillery vehicle, and some cool enhancements to base capture and defense. However, it does not change the general Planetside experience: finding a good server with dedicated players and logging on at the right time for real action.

    The new RPG elements were a nice touch, but it just is not enough for me to enjoy the game any more.

    I became addicted to this game rather quickly. Its’ balance of a developing story and increasing difficulty levels kept me coming back for more.

    So much potential, so little in execution.

    I like more of a sim aspect in my sports games which leaves me undecided about the new arcadish feel of this game.
