Lack of replay value aside, Full Spectrum Warrior is an experience to behold.

One of the biggest factors in this masterful staging is the truly cinematic feel that the game has.

There are hints of greatness here and there. But those hints only remind us of Warrior Within's predecessor, making this new Prince of Persia game's bad design decisions all the more obvious.

These factors combine to make a very rewarding and challenging strategy experience and create a great improvement to an already amazing strategy title.

The entire single-player campaign just ruins what could have been a truly excellent sequel to what was a flawed but strong new entry into a well-established franchise. Instead, it feels as if Neversoft did not want to improve on what needed work and then prayed that players would not notice.

Cars that scream masculinity and machismo; mental drivers haring around city roads that form impromptu tracks when the lights go off and nobody is around – welcome to the world of illegal street racing.

Oh no, the main feature of this game is the amazing, sometimes lush graphics, and the beast of a controller you get to play this game with.

In the absence of a Bond film this year, Everything or Nothing manages to live up to the huge advertising budget put behind it.

You can't play City of Villains without thinking that Cryptic could have done much more. Given the relatively free-roaming landscape style of MMORPGs, more effort should have gone into actually making you feel like a villain.

What sets this game apart from the rest is the life-like and believable urban zones in which you are forced to set up your defence or attack strategies.

Space shooter games are a very specialized taste, but if you get it, it’s very hard to lose the taste and Gradius V has enough variety in it to absorb new players to this genre.

The characters are memorable, the dialogue is sharp, and the puzzles (when they’re original) are usually pretty entertaining.

All-importantly enjoyable and undeniably addictive.

It is fast-paced, long, challenging, and beautiful to look at. The minor flaws with it are easily overlooked when one considers the whole package and realizes that this is probably the best X-Men game to appear on a console in the past ten years or so.

But we don’t think that matters, NFSU2 is a great, loveable game which, taken at face value – a fun-filled racing game – is great fun and enjoyable to play and progress through, if you’re in Career Mode.

The entire single-player campaign just ruins what could have been a truly excellent sequel to what was a flawed but strong new entry into a well-established franchise. Instead, it feels as if Neversoft did not want to improve on what needed work and then prayed that players would not notice.

The engine has been put to good use and is a testament to id's engine development skill leaving an intense single-player Quake experience and Quake III's multiplayer only prettier.

The battles may seem simple, but they contain enough tricks and cards to provide depth beyond any simple shoot-em-ups.

The graphics are very clean and vividly coloured to match the colours of the suits. It's tempting to say it's quite simple but there's no way it needs to be any more adventurous since it gets the job done adequately well.

Underneath the merely decent graphics and a problematic combat system is an adventure capable of sweeping anyone away with its superb quality.
