Although it has a rocky start, most will find it highly addicting after you have learned the basic mechanics of the game.

Unless you can look past the AI, control, and gameplay flaws, playing through a season will become impossible because after a few games you just lose interest.

Not too stressful or repetitive, but with a strong plot and graphics that'll satisfy most. Replay value is medium.

It feels like it was rushed. The game suffers in the graphics and presentation departments and the sound doesn't help its case either.

Not only the perfect next-generation first person shooter, it has redefined the genre, on a console no less. Never before has a combat game been so amazing in every way.

If you’re a true surfer, I would think that this game would be a must have. People who enjoy other “board” games will also rate this game very high.

For those of you who've played the previous versions to death, then you may want to pass on this and wait for part 3 to come out early next year.

Has enough great looking textures to knit a quilt. You will be able to make out the grass, and even the line paint on the grass. The turf looks like turf, not just a brighter shade of grass.

Fast, fun, and graphically pleasing. It's an awesome party game, and it's shortcomings in story, character choice, voice work, [and] single-player mode can't change that.

The way the sun, street lights, and even other cars reflect off your car will amaze you. Each city, (San Francisco, Tokyo, London, New York City) is modeled as seen in real life, so you might recognize some of the places or buildings you are zipping by.

Arguably one of the best fighters to have been created. Its graphics are unparalleled and the character models are detailed and life-like.

As much as I like being beaten unmercifully by a duck in a fedora, it can become frustrating and a bit repetitive after a few rounds.

The more players you can get in a game, the more fun it becomes, but single-player is no slouch either, especially with all the extra modes.

Even if you bump into another car, you always seem to be the one who takes the force of the impact while the opponent carries on. Needless to say, I had a few words to scream each time this happened.

WARNING: After a few hours of playing this you may notice your neck a little red.

With a more detailed multiplayer mode and maybe a bit more in the way of choices that may effect the game’s outcome, Dark Summit could be a leader in a new series of sports/adventure titles to come.
