Potentially a very good driving game, however the physics are sometimes frankly bizzare and the ai is practically non existant, I'd even go as far as to say it has a.s. (artificial stupidity).
Go and but Gran Tourismo instead!

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex (Xbox Classic)

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.

Thief: Deadly Shadows (Xbox)

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

June 11, 2004
In Thief:deadly shadows you play a thief called garret who has a mechanical eye and a voice like snake plissken. It is your task to unravel a conspiracy in a nameless city whilst stealing everything you can see to buy more thief tools. most of the time you're in a medieval city but you wander off onto ships full of zombies, the odd manor and underground ruins.

I always rate a game on how immersive it is when I stop playing and in the case of thief:deadly shadows I started to wear hoods, crouched in the shadows and looked for elemental arrows in my garden. This makes up for the certain flaws the game has because I got stuck on the scenery several times whilst playing and sometimes you would see a NPC walk through a bit of a wall. The ... Read More:

Mech Assault (Xbox)

Mech Assault was one of the first XBOX Live titles to appear on the shelves that offered a superb if not a little to quick to complete offline game scenerio and then with LIVE capabilities thrown in

I have been an XBOX Live user for like forever in the UK and this game still gets the pulse racing, its quick arcade appeal is superb, the game modes just as good and nothing better than a rumble in a huge whopping Mech.

If you do not own this game - then you should order now now now.

The Sims 2 (Xbox)

its just the same as sims deluxe but worse and the only way to play it is to make sure you have a new computer or games console which is a bit annoying because if you buy the games console at least 3 months before you get sims 2 it wont work

The Simpsons: Hit & Run (Xbox)

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

October 31, 2003
PROS:
+This is a typical non-violent young children game (age 7-11) and has done well in hitting that target.
+The missions are great fun and exploring is good too, to start off with.
+There are a great range of cars to earn, buy and collect! You can get into any car on the street.
+ All the charectors are there and the storyline is great if a little unrealistic!
+This game has very good, funny in game comments from the Charector your control
+ It is easy to control your charector as there are no gear changes.
+When you get bored you can have great car chases with police by running people over ( they never die!)
CONS:
-Very repetitive and graphics often dodgy! (Can walk through supposedly solid ... Read More:

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (Xbox)

With the modern games market seemingly polarising into "adult" games - usually FPSs trying to be "Halo 2" or sub-"Res Evil" "horror" games which are so dark that you have to have black blinds drawn over your windows just to be able to see what's going on - and twee games about looking after animals which are unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of 5 - which turn up on Nintendo consoles with alarming regularity - it is refreshing to see, for once, a game which does not pander to any demographic, and instead seeks only to entertain and challenge, just like games did back in the grand old '80s and '90s.
While cutesy in appearance, "SMBD" does not compromise on difficulty. While the easy mode is relatively straightforward (but still not a walkover ... Read More:

I mean that whilst the game is indeed very good the fact you can be good or evil doesn't make one jot to the game,you're good everyone cheers and gives you respect,you're bad everyone jeers you a bit,does it affect the game?NO!,you don't get attacked on sight for being evil,prices aren't cheaper if you're good,places aren't inaccessible being one or the other,There was mention at the time about how you could damage a tree and some years later the damage will still be there,same thing applied to scars etc..,can you? NO!,overall a very good game but doesn't deserve all it's praise.

Fahrenheit (Xbox)

September 16, 2005
First of all I would like to say that "Eddie_Currents" review of this game is pretty much spot on but here is my two bits worth anyway.

I had high hopes for this game based on the various reviews I had seen on the internet and was intrigued by the idea of an interactive movie with an innovative game style. The reality though was a game that was repetitive and awkward and ultimately doesn't live up to the hype.

The game gets of to a good start with some slick looking graphics and an captivating opening sequence. You find yourself the victim of mind control murdering a man you have never met. So far so good. Then the problems start. Your view of the character is by way of a third person camera that you can alter by using the left and right ... Read More:

Street Fighter Anniversary (Xbox)

Street Fighter

This Street Fighter package contains three things of niceness. Street Fighter Anniversary, a game that has been doing the rounds at the arcades, Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike a game that hasn't been on a home console aside from Segas Dreamcast and the Street Fighter 2 animated movie.
The Anniversary game is the first five Street Fighter 2 games combined. The character you select can be primitive or as advanced as you like. Early versions of characters have less, and different, moves but to compensate there hits take off more energy. The one player game can feel a little weird as a result, as you can beat your opponent while knowing that you're not fighting as well as you should. The sound is pathetic, the graphics a bit garish but ... Read More:
