Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Activision

March 28, 2003
I bought this game preowned about a year after it's release and man am I glad I did. I hadn't been that impressed with the previous Indiana game (The Infernal Machine for the PC) because he could not fight unarmed, something which he does a lot more than shooting! Also the puzzles were a little too frustrating.

However I got this for my ancient and beloved PS2 and was hooked from the word go. The only complaint is that the graphics are not that good (near N64 in places) but the gameplay will distract you from that. This time he can fight unarmed, which is what I did a majority of the time and a nice little touch is that if Indy takes so many beatings at once his hat falls off but doesn't fade away leaving you to pick it up!

GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Electronic Arts

November 26, 2004
Yes, as you probably know, this game has no real relationship to Goldeneye on the N64. It was probably a huge mistake of EA to attach the Goldeneye name to the title, from the start this created an impossible comparison that EA could never really hope to match. This has led to Rogue Agent being cursed by an entire generation of gamers when, in fact, it's a very good game.
It actually has more in common with last year's Perfect Dark Zero and the now standard Halo than Rare's classic Goldeneye. Rogue Agent isn't particularly original but then it doesn't need to be; The level design is competent and entertaining, the enemy AI is excellent and the graphics are nothing amazing but very nice.
This game can be very rewarding if you approach ... Read More:

SSX 3 (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Electronic Arts

October 31, 2003
Having played the first 2 SSX games on the Playstation 2, I can say that SSX 3 is a great improvement on what has gone before. New features include:

- One massive mountain, divided into 3 peaks, which you can explore freely in between events.
- Expanded Uber trick system, including rail tricks and monster tricks.
- Earn cash through finding secrets and winning events. Spend cash on rider stat's improvements, new gear to wear, music tracks and art.
- Greater variety of events, including big air and rival challenges.

SSX is a lot different to all the other snowboarding games out there such as Amped. SSX throws away realism and instead focuses on massive tricks, imaginative courses and high speed. I personally love ... Read More:

FIFA 07 (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game

It's the game that football fans wait all year for, and it doesn't dissapoint. It really immerses you in the game, to make you feel as if you really are out on the pitch.
Perhaps the only problem for seasoned players of fifa is that the only way to unlock the top level of difficulty is to win every game in a season of Manager Mode, which I myself sometimes just can't be bothered to do!
But you've probably got a lot more staying power than me.
All in all this is definitely a great game, beaten only in quality by fifa 08.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex (Xbox Classic)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Sierra

April 11, 2003
Crash 4 is a very good game for all ages. It has quite good graphics, fast gameplay, funny storyline and ranges of different types of leves such as the hamster ball, bosses and normal levels. It loses a star in it's easiness but then get's it back in it's power to get people to play on the same level over and over again so i give it 5 stars as would of the Xbox People after all they have made it a classic.

Sonic Heroes (Xbox)

This game has dated graphics, and there isn't much freedom. It may be fast but that isn't a good thing as it is basaically the game controlling itself, you would be better off watching a film. Storyline? There is'nt one! And all levels are as boring and frustrating as hell, don't waste money on this, it is'nt worth it.

Prince of Persia: Two Thrones (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Type of Game
from: Ubisoft

December 09, 2005
I agree with the above reviewer. Just like some of the other POP games there are several areas that force you to replay certain portions many times over. The part that you get kicked back to usually involves moving through 10 minutes of fairly easy maneuvers - sometimes long drawn out cut sequences as well, which you CANNOT TURN OFF. This usually does not happen until you have invested a a fair amount of time in the game. The pattern is as described above; things are going fairly well, a few puzzles, challenging fights, save points along the way - Challenging yet rewarding. Then suddenly there comes a point where it becomes near impossible to progress in the game. If you do not time your movements JUUUUSSSST SOOOOOO, you are forced to replay the last 10 to 15 minute sequence ... Read More:

I played this game for about 10 minutes and felt very ill, the camera oversteers on ever corner before swinging back to far and finally settling back where it started, I don't know why? But I find this bizarre.
