Worth a bash if you can rent or borrow it from a friend.

Working its magic touch for the sport, the presentation and addictive gameplay impress right from the initial pre-match nerves to the relief of the final whistle.

So while the core gameplay is great fun, longevity does suffer from the inevitable repetitiveness and uneventful missions. Be wary.

The most frustrating aspect of the game is the annoyance of not being able to save it until the end of each level.

An innovative, challenging game that can run on a low spec PC.

While it has its flaws, is by far the best console racer on the planet, and betters its predecessors in nearly every respect.

Hugely compelling and damned addictive.

A worthwhile purchase for those new to the series, provided you feel ready to take on the initially steep learning curve.

Simple gameplay, but like all good games of this genre, it’s oh-so frustrating at times.

Crams in all the elements you loved from the original and even adds an all-new single player mode. However, it's the multiplayer link-up mode that really makes this an essential purchase.

Ion Storm seems absolutely dead set on making you scream with frustration for the long haul through the opening section of the game.

With its abundance of new features, LoD offers countless additional hours of delightful gameplay.

The game has stability now to rival the games that have been on the market for years. While a few minor bugs and the occasional graphical glitch still exist, the game tends to play quite seamlessly.

Not only does it add dozens of hours to the gameplay of its predecessor, it features some of the most enjoyable and fanciful mission design ever seen in the venerable City Building Series.

So it's not as pretty as "DOA2," and probably doesn't play quite as well as either that game or "Tekken Tag," and there's not much strategy in the game either, but hey, if you're looking for a game that will let you literally rip your opponent to shreds, this is the one.

Something that every fan of horror gaming in general--and the original Alone in the Dark series in particular--should check out.

I just can't help thinking that the "Final Chapter" should have had a little more to it.

The game fails on the fact that it's faaar too simple.

An amusing, engrossing and addictive play. The missions represent around 20-30 hours of entertaining gaming.

It's a shame that the whole thing seems so rushed and inexpertly executed.

Quite simply it's very funny, great fun to play, but infuriatingly difficult and obscure in places. It's well animated, really colourful, beautifully voiced, original and lengthy.

Okay, so it owes a fair amount to Midway's classic "NBA Jam" series, but it also takes the concept to a whole new dimension, building new depth into the quick-fire action.

Undoubtedly the fastest, scariest, most challenging and adrenaline-pumping demolition game yet devised for the PS2.

As with the previous episodes, all the comedy and the gargantuan amount of options hang together well.

Tremendous fun. It doesn't innovate so much as it refines and ties together a couple of different elements into a satisfying whole.

Good points aside, E:BD is a tired game based on a limited concept that was beaten to death in 1998.

As it stands, it's almost in the realm of the type of content you expect to freely download.

Graphically, the Game Boy Advance comfortably does the game justice.
