    The few genuine improvements are easily forgotten amid the many things that were made worse from the first game into this one.

    The game will take you about eight hours to beat and it will entertain you for most all of that time. Maybe it was the character jumping or maybe it was the generic feel the game puts out, but I just couldn't really get into this one.

    A very short game. That being said, it is also a very entertaining game.

    I just found the frustration level of this game just slightly more than I’m willing to put up with.

    The gameplay does have its flaws, but I still manage to have a lot of fun in the many types of game modes available.

    I'm also surprised at how well the audio came out here. The music, in particular, does a fantastic job at getting across the overall vibe of the area you're in, and/or, the side you"re playing on.

    It all makes for a very fun experience, though it probably would have been even better with a dual analog setup. Something about locking onto enemies in a multiplayer context just feels like cheating.

    The graphics are solid, though nothing spectacular. Gameplay is very streamlined, and the controls are very easy to learn.

    Enemies will change what they say based on what's happening too, so if you go in guns blazing they may scream like a little girl, but if you duck behind an object they will taunt you for being a coward. All of this adds to the total immersion that you get from playing this game and that feeling is overwhelming.

    Collision detection between ATVs can be a little strange at times especially in the mini-games.

    The graphics are as beautiful as ever, Aba is a good addition to the roster and the new backgrounds and soundtrack will be adored by fans of the series. If you aren’t a Guilty Gear diehard, you should stay away from Isuka and try another part of the series.

    The gameplay is starting to get pretty stale, and the online play is a major disappointment. However, the insane amount of match types available, and the best Season and Create-a-Wrestler modes out on the market makes up for it.

    While there is a certain level of frustration to be had with the gameplay, this tale is worth the twenty hour journey. The amount of humor it has and the ability to be nice or mean adds some replay to the game, enough that it holds its own compared to others in the genre.

    My biggest beef with San Andreas is the implementation of the gang warfare system...It takes away a certain element that was found in the earlier games, that of the feeling that you were running an entire city.

    It is rather odd given all the overhauls done to these two games that Team Ninja didn't see fit to localize the voiceovers. Luckily there are English subtitles to help you understand what is going on pre and post fight.

    The bard is such an unlikely hero (not to mention a total smartass) that just the thought of seeing what will happen to him next compels you to play.
    • 79 Metascore

    The controls compliment the gameplay, while the graphics add some style to it, and the music finishes off the game’s unique atmosphere.

    Remove the decade old plot progression, fix up the difficulty, balance out the characters and you would really have a contender on your hands.

    While I still feel that "MAT 1" features the better collection of games, this one irons out some of its wrinkles, and has a great game roster in its own right.

    An extremely well-written script. I constantly found myself laughing, tears of joy pouring heartily from my eyes (slight exaggeration). Still, the gameplay is boring and repetitive, and there’s virtually no replay value.

    The voice acting is actually very nicely done and very authentic. By authentic I’m talking about lots of swearing and sexual comments, this is a college setting after all.

    Nice try, Eurocom, but let’s face it: the track and field genre of videogames is still dead. Honestly, developers should just give up on making them.

    Overall, Syberia II is a worthy conclusion to Benoit Sokal's creation. If you played through the first game, you owe it to yourself to see how Kate & Hans wrap up their journey.

    It is great to have the Classic Mode back, and combined with another enjoyable story mode, you're looking at least a good dozen hours of gameplay at your hands.

    As much as it pains me (a long-time SNK fighting fan) to say this, SVC Chaos is probably the worst overall fighter I've ever played from SNK.

    Sega finally got the rhythm back again as ESPN NBA 2K5 excels on all levels and is easily the best playing and most featured filled basketball game on the market.

    While it does contain a lot of elements that will offer many hours of satisfying gameplay, it also doesn't do enough to bring in as many players as other games in the rhythm genre, such as "Dance Dance Revolution."

    If you loved "RISK," you’ll feel right at home with this title.

    If you enjoy quick action in your games, you'll get a lot out of this one, especially when you get into the danger room missions, and get a chance to experiment more and more with exciting techniques and attacks.

    Fantastic level design.
