It is apparent that Ubi Soft is taking the Rayman license for every dime it is worth and I am sorry to say that they came up really short this time.

KSPS is different, its fresh, its fun! Sure, it has its similarities to the Tony Hawk series, but it IS NOT some simple rehash with a surf board. The game makes you feel like a surfer, even though most of us are sitting on our asses only wishing we’d know what that life would be like.

The graphics continue to sizzle with eye-catching particle effects, excellent crowds and decent player models.

I find it hard to believe that any gamer, even the hard-core puzzle lovers, will play more than a few hours of Egg Mania.

The game has great features, just not enough of them to compete with the likes of Gran Turismo. Had SegaGT 2002 had more cars and a lot more tracks we might be singing a different tune.

Touches the very fine line between god awful and decent action game.

The story is awful and not very engaging, and please don’t get me started on character dialogue.

A game that won't bore you after an hour of gameplay and will literally leave you speechless at times.

While the fact that the game can be completed in 7-10 hours may turn off some tastes, it is still an enjoyable 7-10 hours.

Comes up short from almost every area with what is needed to make a successful basketball game on one of today’s next-generation systems.

Playing single player is good, but getting in on the action with a group of friends really makes it great.

"NFL 2K2" will be online for players to go at it via broadband connections, but NFL Fever 2003 is going to be my choice this year because of both the online support and the energy level combined with realism.

Lack of strategy, complexity, longevity and intensive AI and multiplayer modes which are usually the foundation of true mech warfare are absent here. I would consider this more of an advanced 2nd or 3rd generation shoot’em up with extra eye candy.

The graphics are sound and the audio is decent, but the gameplay is just not enough to make this a great game. There is poor movement, it’s a poor attack engine, and there were just too many holes in the gameplay.

Next to Hawk, it's the best extreme sports title on the Xbox.

Its pillars are weakening, especially without the kind of graphical imagery that could have put a temporary balm on its aging structures, and which by the same token could have renewed the Crazy Taxi interest of many veterans, while sparking up that of a slew of new fans.

Arguably the best football game on the market.

The game is as good a boxing game as you are going to find, but it’s not great.

Unfortunately, the game didn’t live up to the enormous hype it had created, but it’s still entertaining for a short period of time. The game is average.

Surprisingly enough Midway has done a fantastic job keeping the game real enough to keep hardcore soccer fans satisfied.

If you are a die-hard Tetris fan, then Tetris Worlds will probably be right up your alley. For the rest of you, use your Xbox for something with a bit more kick.

A great golf game that actually has pretty impressive physics and realism.

The fact that the game is just so massive brings warm feelings to my heart. The character interaction in the game, joined with an amazing guild system and easy to menus and controls will allow you to get deeply involved.

Its simplicity is what boosts its addictiveness. This isn’t a game about complex strategy and well timed precision; it’s a game about kicking ass and having tons of fun with your friends.

The graphics are some of the best seen on any console to date and the controls are just as dandy. Throw in the multiplayer, sim mode, and personal customizations available and THQ’s Moto GP is a keeper for any racing fan out there.

The best baseball title on the XBOX right now. There are some things that can be improved, but a lot of gameplay is needed to find little bugs and errors in the game.

The Jedi Starfighter feels more graceful and precise than the classic starfighters like the X-Wing or even the Tie Fighter, but maybe I was just feeling the Force...yea right.

A good buy for any sports fan, especially because of the excitement, but be warned that you will probably be tired of it before you could say “USA soccer is about to become a power.”
