If you have played the original, then Rebound will likely feel a bit stale, a bit empty, and more than a bit slow.

It is inexcusable to omit adding intelligent substitution and foul AI.

It's the perfect game to enjoy with kids, the wife, or friends who may not be into golf while still giving you that golf fix you need.

The multiple bugs and lack of multiple fielding camera angles hurt this game severely and simply can't be forgiven. [*Note: original score posted by Operation Sports as 3/5 = 60. Current score on their redesigned site is inaccurate.]

Fans of the ‘sport’ of hockey are going to be frustrated by the extreme emphasis of arcade gameplay. So frustrated they are going to wonder when Midway’s next title will be coming out to get the true arcade hockey video game. Those who are looking for a more simulation based hockey experience also better look elsewhere.

While you certainly can have fun with NBA 08, it’s hard to recommend it as a purchase.

For $20 you get a variety of games that is far beyond anything else that I’ve played on the PS2. The game plays well if you don’t feel like you have to have a deep and detailed story mode.

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.

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

I’d be remiss if I also didn’t mention the unbelievably long load times on this PS2 version. I’ve experienced long waits before, but some of these load times had me feeling very frustrated.

Out of the box, the game is an unrealistic dunkfest, but after some slider changes, the game resembles the NBA.

I honestly believe that it will have a tough time stealing track hours from GT4 and Forza on most gamers' consoles.

Games for this kind of system are supposed to be fun, simple and not terribly time-consuming. Viewed in this light, NBA Live 06 is a success, but real hoops fans will undoubtedly spend more of their gaming time on more fleshed-out console titles, and keep Live around as a quick artificially-basketball-flavored snack for their PSP.

There's just not enough meat in NFL Street 2 to provide a complete single-player experience.

It's an entertaining one that faithfully carries on the NBA Street line. However, there's no getting around the slightly dumbed-down game play and the button timing issues. [*Note: original score posted by Operation Sports as 3/5 = 60. Current score on their redesigned site is inaccurate.]

I'm still blown away that they removed online play, seriously cutting a ton of replay life out of the title.

It's madly entertaining, and seems well proportioned to the demands of the portable gaming lifestyle.

It's a solid enough effort, but it doesn't really feel fresh at all, online play doesn't work, and its appeal seems limited to only a certain number of Champions League fans - preferably ones who don't already have FIFA 07 - and that doesn't seem likely to comprise a large number of gamers.

The racing itself is more or less pedestrian, and when the rest of the game shows this much depth, to see it lacking in the main portion of game play can't help but disappoint some players. [*Note: original score posted by Operation Sports as 3/5 = 60. Current score on their redesigned site is inaccurate.]

It is what it is - a simple, easy-to-play party game that can be a riot for multiplayer gaming. It's a fun, hang-around-with-your-friends-and-enjoy-playing-together kind of title. And there's something to be said for that.

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.

At its worst, it's a frustrating exercise in button manipulation that makes you want to take up knitting.

The fighting system is horrible. When is the last time that Jaromir Jagr fought Sandy McCarthy? Yeah that’s going to happen!

The clips are nothing more than what you see on “Wild on E!” plus, the game doesn’t do the biking or the porn stuff well.

Doesn’t even do an average job in simulating real basketball. Too many blocks, no sliders, and bad rebounding AI are just a few of the things that cause this title to be sub par.

If you're looking for a PS2 rugby game, I'd recommend the original EA title. It must be cheaper by now, and has better gameplay. If you need a PS2 rugby game with updated rosters, there are some upcoming titles you could wait for.

If you have younger kids and you want to get them something safe to play, easy to learn, and won’t break the bank than Hypersonic Extreme may be the title to check out.

With NASCAR 08, there is no doubt that they improved some aspects of the game in their jump to the 360. However, with bare bones modes, questionable AI and some obvious gameplay issues, it’s hard to justify the $60 price tag at this point.
