PhC really grows on you, the level of customisation really shines through and gives this game a level of replaybility that’s rarely seen.

The massive amount of new features sets this game miles apart from "GTA: 3" - everything from interior locations, the combat, the graphics to the car handling has been improved, making this into a totally brilliant game.

The Xbox hasn’t been put to the test in the visual department, and unforgivably some of the basic flaws such as loading times, pop-in and slow-down haven’t been eradicated.

Purely an unadulterated shooter that shouldn’t be thought of as anything more.

The game does up the Zombie count to an immeasurable level, whilst the levels are extremely large and full of scenic touches.

The repetitive and monotonous action just simply doesn’t cut it by today standards, whilst hardcore fans might even find themselves let down by the overall production.

So the game is mainly a case of refinement to the point of perfection, but the problem is that if you’ve already got Tony Hawk 3 there’s very little reason to pick this game up.

There’s no doubt that this is an absolutely great game for multiplayer, but we’re upset that HAL didn’t really put their all in with the visuals or on making a more streamlined game.

Fans of the original won't find much more here to interest them, but hopefully, like with me, it'll relight the flame and at least spark up their interest in the game itself once again.

The controls and camera cause frustration, the visuals severely disappoint, whilst the combat begins to grate after a short time and leaves very little to carry on with.

Hooking the headset communicator up and jumping into a game without any problems to irritate as many people as possible has proved to be more alluring then I first thought.

X-Men fans are likely to gain some enjoyment playing through the story mode and unlocking the vast range of unlockable content, but for fighting fans Next Dimension simply isn’t good enough.

The blatant plagiarism, atrocious dialogue and unimaginative gameplay combine to create one of the most dullest videogame experiences I’ve had in years.

A true gamers game, there’s no storyline to worry about, no complex gameplay mechanics, just simple pure and unadulterated fun.

EA went with the idea that if they put in the ‘freestyling’ option, everyone would love the game – this may set the game alight, but by no means does it make the game stand out from the crowd – there just isn’t enough quality in the rest of the game.

A poorly implemented game idea that is by far beaten by Dave Mirra’s BMX game, which incidentally in its first incarnation had much more expansive levels than this game.

It’s obvious that the idea of time manipulation came whilst these guys were working on "Sonic CD," and it’s certainly been developed, but just not quite enough.

A game that’s as near to perfection as any other game in the genre.

Once you get past the initial phase of disappointment UT2003 delivers everything you’d want from a FPS. The action is intense, the presentation flawless and more importantly it just feels great, definitely packing that ‘oh yeah’ factor in spades.

The improved Burnout system really adds some much needed depth to the gameplay, whilst those graphics are going to astound you.

Whilst the developers may boast about the improvements, there’s no getting away from the fact that this feels like an expansion pack.

Unfortunately there is one major stumbling block; the game is too short and the average gamer will have it licked in no time at all.

The only real disappointment with Unreal Championship is that there's nothing new; it is essentially "UT2003" for the home consoles.

One can’t help but think that Namco slightly rushed the title to get it out in time for "Virtua Fighter 4," the visuals aren’t exactly eye dropping but the gameplay is fast fluid and consistent. [Import]

You’ll be particularly impressed with the recreation of the Disney characters, it seems as though they’ve been translated to videogame characters without any compromises.

The main problem is that we’ve seen it all before and done it all before, something that you’ll not be able to overcome.

It's certainly not perfect and isn't for everyone; however if you're looking for something suitably different, something that you can just whack on and enjoy for a few hours here and there and more importantly something so Nintendo, then you may just end up devoting your life to Animal Crossing.

One of the most enjoyable multiplayer games we have played in a very long time...[but] the lack of any decent single player mode leaves us feeling a little unhappy!
