With the exception of practicing against AI controlled opponents, reply value is almost non-existent for the single player campaigns as there is nothing new on offer. But if you are blessed with Xbox Live or access to LAN play, you will have many hours of Star Wars fun!

The changes to the graphics showed significant improvement as well. Hopefully next year there will be some great draft picks and continued improvements.

NCAA 07 certainly has the right idea and just needs to be slightly tweaked and a bit more balanced.

Yes, it is arcade-like, for some this may be a turnoff but throw in all the modes and the online aspect and this one has plenty to keep basketball fans happy.

The team control aspect does get addicting and hard to put down. The fact that the game can be adjusted for each level of experience is also an added bonus.

The spirit-walking and the gravity-changing was a great idea. For a week rental, this one is great but unless you’re the type of gamer that loves death matches, most will play it once, beat it and then let it sit for awhile before wanting to play it again.

NHL 06 may not have the right to claim the most improved version, however, it has tons of modes and the updated rules and players. It has great controls and adjusts to any skill level.

While the game would have benefited from more enhanced graphics and sound effects, it's a solid title. It's fun and addictive and offers a chance to not just complete the single player and be done but compete against friends and others in a faster paced setting.

The single player mode is challenging and fun but can be a little short depending on your skills at this type of game.

The sound is probably the best part of the game. The music by Jesper Kyd is, in my opinion, better than "Halo."

Has a few balance issues but plays so well that no one will really care.

It's great to pop it in, play a battle and then save the game or keep going into the wee hours of the night.

The controls are laid out well and you won't need a six button controller to be good at it.

It’s simply a real hockey fans dream game.

The game has plenty of modes and things to unlock such as equipment, players and clothing.

A very good game if you can get past things like the perspective issues and you don't mind dying often.

I did miss Bam, because I thought the two fit together well. It may be time for the developers and Tony to give the series a rest and come back with something totally new.

There is a real strategy in playing the game the right way and with every action comes a reaction which is perhaps the best part of the game.

While the details and rendering of Torque and the other main characters such as Dr. Killjoy, Hermes, and most of the monsters are done very well, some of the other enemies and NPCs (non playable characters) suffer a bit from lack of detail.

The epic adventure is worth completing numerous times with various characters.

Black is a great stress reliever and a great game to destroy and blow things up. It takes thinking and skill to get through certain points.

You will also get frustrated that the A.I seems to have an advantage but that to some just makes it more of a challenge.

I would have liked to see a few different modes or options on the online mode.

Despite a few areas in the dynasty mode, the game is solid and well balanced.

One of the most fun, enjoyable and hilarious games of the modern age and it's a crying shame to see such a rarity soiled by a few glaring issues.

It would have been great if the first game did not have issues but it's not to the point that it will hurt the gameplay for fans.

It does take time to learn the controls and coaching commands but it is worth the time.

The voice-overs in game are done well, they sound as if you were watching the movie.
