    You’re going to get a solid arcade hockey game, wrapped in a fun title. I personally prefer games that are more of a simulation.

    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.

    I actually enjoyed the time I spent playing MLB, but the problems I encountered with hitting and at times the poor CPU base running AI began to take some of the fun out of it.

    The main gripe I have with Gamebreaker is that it feels like an afterthought to Redzone and 989 Sports. I played it and "Gameday" at the same time, and the game looks like, plays like, and has the same menu as "Gameday" - yet it has less polish on the graphics and gameplay.

    No online and that damn stopwatch thing is bugging me. It is a great game to play for short periods of time, but I don't think the game has much replay value.

    Gamers looking for a fun, casual game with online play and unlockables may like Gretzky NHL as an excellent update to the classic hockey games of the 16-bit era.

    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 I felt like I had more control over stopping the pass, I would probably rate Gameday 2003 higher.

    If the developers can put as much emphasis on gameplay as they do in the franchise mode, this series might actually become something noteworthy.

    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.

    If the lack of control doesn't frustrate you enough, the simplistic AI will.

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

    To my shock and confusion, I really liked the game. Why? Because I stopped thinking that I was supposed to be playing “a Tony Hawk game” and started realizing that I was playing a fun arcade racer that happens to have Tony’s name on the box.

    It appears that the new foot-planting technology destroys the flow and look of the game when in motion.

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

    For those looking for a basketball game with a deep career mode, sim-like gameplay, and online play, Shootout 2004 would be a good choice. One thing’s for sure; the positives outweigh the negatives in this game.

    I must admit that if I were rating this game based on its online play and fun factor alone it would receive a higher score. The lack of any sort of franchise mode, choppy animations and some minor control issues bring it down.

    Poor control with one camera angle does not make a great game. You can have all the features in the world but if you don’t enjoy the gameplay then it was all for not.

    It offers a lot of features that will keep a street basketball fan interested in this game. Still, if you aren’t into street basketball or not a big basketball fan, I can’t suggest giving this game more than a rental.

    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.

    NBA
    The on the court basketball is an uneven mess, and the game's "Season Mode" is an embarrassment.

    It pains me to say this, because I was looking forward to the game, but it needs to be said. Move along folks - there is nothing to see here.

    If you are a Franchise Freak I think you would want to check this game out.

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

    While, this game is better then previous efforts, Final Four is still a long way from competing with the big boys.

    If you want the height of realistic soccer strategy and gameplay, move along. If you want to have a little fun in a slightly more arcade-like title with every team under the sun and almost any player you can imagine, give it a try.

    I have found a game that I like even less than "FIFA" and I really didn’t think that was going to be possible.

    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.

    Where's the Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Dave Boy Smith, Hakeem the African Dream, Bushwhackers, Killer Bees, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Big John Studd, Andre the Giant, and others?
    • 55 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The graphics are bad, the gameplay is below average and the career mode is weak, add it all up and it makes for a game I can’t really recommend to anyone.
