    There are too few modes, not enough worthy unlockables, and no type of extended functionality, such as a create-a-wrestler - and this brings down the longevity of what would otherwise be a quality game.

    If they continue to plug forward we could be looking at a future dominator in the sports gaming genre on the Playstation 2 and a sure front runner for the next system from Sony.

    This remains a game with an awful lot of potential, but not much execution. It's still glitchy - this review doesn't cover more than a fraction of the issues I've seen - but underneath it all is a set of baseball ideas and mechanics that could easily produce a fantastic game in the future.

    This franchise has legs and could be a welcome spring football fix for year’s to come.

    There is not enough here to really make this a great or even a good 2-player game, unless just beating each other senseless for no reason is your thing, but the single player modes are plenty and have some longevity to them.

    I got a lot more of a simulation than I could have imagined.

    There are just too many other football games out there that are more deserving. With that being said, I’m happy to see that this game has started making improvements.

    I really wanted to like this game. I just can’t. The game feels rushed and is totally uninspiring.

    It has great ideas but executes it horribly.

    A 95-mile per hour puck in the face! I’ve seen far worse first efforts in sports gaming, but I’ve seen no worse hockey efforts this year.

    The game doesn’t double fault, but it sure does have a bunch of 'lets'.

    While this game is incredibly deep in a lot of areas, it falls just short in delivering an addictive must have snowboarding title.

    While playing this game, it’s impossible to shake the feeling that this game could have been really good if EA would have put some effort into anything other then the graphics.

    Not fun. If you are looking for a baseball game that involves any thought process more complicated than, “throw the ball, hit the ball”, I suggest you look elsewhere.

    No story line in single mode is another turn off, but multiplayer is a blast.

    The gameplay is nothing special, but not terrible either. The graphics and audio however are well below what we should expect on this system.

    As with all of the games I've played in the EA Street series, you'll eventually start to realize that this is a game based on the amount of trickery you can pull off, rather than the real sport of soccer, which results in a stale and monotonous gaming experience.

    If you have great group of online buddies or real-world friends who are on Xbox Live, this game is the next best thing to the Friday night poker-fest in your pal's basement.

    In the end, it appears it's going to be a long year on the bench for NBA 08.

    Sure, the game comes with some minor quirks, but for such a low price, it’s hard not to recommend this quality title.

    They’ve improved very little on the court or in the Season mode, but they still tell a nice story. Playing this game still keeps me optimistic that the franchise will continue and could potentially thrive.

    Stacked lacks a playable interface and simply does not do enough with its modes to set itself far enough apart from the competition.

    I give ProStroke Golf – World Tour 2007 points for innovation. You know me; I’m a sucker for trying new things in sports gaming. But, the new controls do not come close to making up for what is essentially a poorly-made game.

    While NBA '06 featuring “The Life, Volume 1” is not revolutionary at the core, I personally believe more immersive experiences like this are the way sports gaming is headed. I’m very excited for it.

    A title that was started before its time and released after its time - it could have been a refreshing mix in the racing genre, whereas now it's simply another title on the shelf in the crowded racing market.

    A highly enjoyable, if a bit simplistic two-player experience. However, the single-player experience is ridiculously shallow, and consists of nothing more than playing game after game in sequence.

    The only thing I could say is that I wanted to go off and play "Track n Field" to get my Olympic fill.

    Stunning character models, simplistic controls, and fluid gameplay usually result in a instant classic. However, the wrestling genre is, and always will be, dominated by a licensed product. Rumble Roses XX is a enjoyable pick up and play alternative to other wrestling titles, despite its fictional characters and lack of gameplay options.

    This series has a lot of potential. The future is bright.

    It would be a shame if the decision on whether to continue with the franchise into the next-gen were based on the improvements from last year's product to this.
