Micro Machines v4 (PSP)

from: Codemasters Limited

June 30, 2006
This game is absolutely awful. Fortunately, I picked it up for only a few pounds, but that still does not excuse the poor control system and terrible coding.

Often the cars get stuck and there are many graphics issues. The sound is not really anything to write home about, the graphics certainly do not push the PSP anywhere like to the limits, and the gameplay is too "bitty".

There are numerous issues with control and general gameplay, as well as having to reset the PSP every 30-60 minutes as the game will crash.

TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge (PSP)

from: Codemasters Limited

February 16, 2007
TOCA 2 on the PSP was fantastic. Obviously the graphics were of slightly less quality than the PS2 version but apart from that the PSP was a direct port from the PS2 one.

TOCA 3 on the PS2 is one of the best driving games available on any platform and there is literally hours and hours of fun to be had. Maybe I should have taken more notice of the word "challenge" in the title of the PSPS version. I was expecting it to be another direct port but sadly it isn't.

Gone are the huge variety of different cars to complete events in and its place are just five championships at ever increasing difficulty levels. This would be OK but before you compete in any of them, there are a number of tests you have to do. They include following ... Read More:

Sensible Soccer 2006 (PS2)

from: Codemasters Limited

June 09, 2006
Ok first of all the greatest football game I ever played was Sensible Soccer 95/96 on the Amiga, the upgrade version for season 96/97 was just as good and I still have these games up until now. The gameplay in these games is much better then anything that's ever been produced since, Pro Evolution Soccer, Fifa, none of them can compare. I think the problem with this game being so bad is they have obviously changed the game, but the point is they didn't need to, why not keep the original, re-release it with season 2006/2007, so we would have new players, i would love to make a new Sensible Soccer team like I used to and buy players like Ronaldinho and Henry and Kaka. Thats what the fans want, not this, why didn't the developers do what the fans wanted, ... Read More:

TOCA Race Driver 2 (PSP)

from: Codemasters Limited

September 01, 2005
This is the first game I played on the PSP and I was blown away by how good it is.

Apart from the obvious slight drop in quality of the graphics, the game is a direct port of the PS2 version.

The controls take a bit of getting used to, but once you are comfortable with the analogue "nub" its every bit as fun as the PS2 version. Like a lot of other reviewers I am stuck on 80 something percent as the ice race or truck race are seemingly impossible. I will keep going trying though and if I can't win them Ill just play on tracks that I have unlocked already.

A superb game and must have for fans of driving games everywhere.

TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC DVD)

from: Codemasters Limited

April 23, 2004
This game could have been great, it has excellent graphics and often the gameplay is absorbing and rewarding, but it is unfortunately let down by inconsistent and often frustrating car handling, and unfair opposition race ability.
On some races it can take a lot of luck and every ounce of skill to beat the opposition (or at least finish high enough to progress) and then the next 3 or 4 races can all be won without much difficulty at all.
It can get so frustrating when playing fair (and getting beat) that you can't help but try and cheat, crashing into the opposition at a hairpins or tight bends and hoping that you come out in front. The opposition seem to be able to take some corners much faster then you and if you try to copy them you end up over steering ... Read More:

Heroes of the Pacific (Xbox)

from: Codemasters Limited

September 23, 2005
For a confirmed aviation enthusiast like myself, this game pushes all the right buttons. The aicraft are on the whole very accurate as are the locations for the various missions. Also, the way the game rewards you for completing missions by either granting new planes or upgrade points to enhance your exisiting aircraft means that there is an even greater incentive to crack a difficult mission (I was well chuffed with my P-61!). The game also offers a choice of controls, either Pro which uses a set up for dedicated flight sim fans (which I found very difficult to master) or Arcade which is much easier to master. The battle scenes are awesome, with the number of aircraft involved being breathtaking (imagine the space battles in Stars Wars III to get some idea). The only reason ... Read More:

LMA Manager 2006 (Xbox)

from: Codemasters Limited

November 18, 2005
I love this game because i can sit and play on it four hours , the transfer market has improved , the matchday has improved but i think the traing has got worse because on 2005 all my players went up in value and ability but on this one they go down in value and ability and because of this the game is really fustrating because you buy a player for 10 million and by the end of the season their worth 5.5 million and have become the worst player in your team

MTV Music Generator 3 (Xbox)

from: Codemasters Limited

June 18, 2004
Take a break from those cookie-cutter fantasy games where your spell-casting hero travels through strange lands to defeat the evil king. With the third installment in the popular MTV Music Generator music-making series, PS2 and Xbox owners can swap their magic for a mixer and turn their game console into a recording studio. This Is the Remix lets budding producers and DJs create and edit original music tracks pooled from more than 4,000 samples stored on the DVD, as well as remix 10 current hip-hop, reggae, electronica, house and rap songs. Highlights include OutKast's The Way You Move, Snoop Dogg's From Tha Chuuuch to da Palace (it's so shizlicious) and Sean Paul's Get Busy.

Users start with the song's radio edit, extended mix, instrumental or a cappella track. Then, ... Read More:
