WWE Raw 2 Ruthless Aggression (Xbox)

When first purchasing this game, I thought I was getting a bargain. However, this game is highly flawed and I was really disapointed. The fighting is slow and unresponsive, and the menu music annoys the hell out of you after 10 minutes. The only good aspect of the game is the Create a character in which you can create a character, (duh! atleast something is right) I would stay well away from this game, unless it is your only option.

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (Xbox)

MOH rising sun is overall a good game but is much shorter than MOH frontline. The missions are generally quite hard (even on the easy setting!). The missions are long and thankfully have savepoints in them. At times it actually is quite a nerveracking experience that makes you think from a U.S marines point of view. It is worthwile buying this product although it has a very short lifespan.

Prince of Persia: Two Thrones (Xbox)

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 ... Read More:

GUN (Xbox)

This is one of the best western games i have ever played. The story line is fantasticly familiar and the characters really make you feel that YOU are part of the game. There is one draw back however, as you progress through. The game it really does become harder and when someone reaches the point that you really can not go past the game really gets dull. More than most games.
The graphics at first sight are not brilliant but the gameplay suddenly draws the attention away from that.
In total the game is a great buy. I highly recommend it!

Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition (Xbox)

Well, there's not really much I can add to what's already been said about this game. It is hands down the most open ended game I've ever come across. Whatever character you want to play you can and if you don't see the character class you want on the list you can create your own.

I've just finished playing the main quest with a Nordic Mage who wears armour and carries a sword and now I'm moving on to the expansions Bloodmoon and Tribunal. This game could make you forget you have any other games, it's that huge.

However it's not perfect (but then what is?). The graphics are now somewhat dated and don't really animate at all naturally, however this is easilly forgotten after a few hours. The landscape varies in quality. The grassy plains tend to look ... Read More:

The Simpsons: Hit & Run (Xbox Classics)

... that becomes very repetitive after the first 100 or so games! By that I mean my 9 year old son & I loved it when we first got it - good graphics & sound & pretty addictive gameplay eventually gives way to realising its a VERY simple game with limited options.

Worth buying for younger kids or for under a £tenner.

Tetris Worlds

from: THQ

July 26, 2002
I bought this for me and my other half as we both love Tetris. I was excited to play the new modes as well as having a classic game of the usual multiplayer brawls (which I usually lose). Yet we've played for hours we can't for the life of us find just the original mode where if you hit the top of the screen your out! Now it seems that you gain points for clearing lines of blocks instead and as you level up you need more points to win, thus in theory evening the playing field. Sadly its nowhere near as good and some games are over in under a minute. Yet another game updated to be dumbed down.

I've yet to try 4 player mode yet but at least that's a welcome addition and some of the new versions of Tetris are nice distractions and variants but I just felt that without the original ... Read More:

Enclave

If you want an easy stress free game, then don't buy Enclave. If on the other hand you want a game that pushes your gaming skills to new levels, that makes you throw your controller down in disgust only to say in your next breath alright then just one more go, then this is the game for you. Tough as a badgers bottom, frustrating and difficult, but there is a real sense of achievement to be had from each new advance you make.

The game play is imaginative, non repetitive, and exhilarating.
The graphics are superbly detailed, the sound is atmospheric and the character and the weapon choices you make actually make a difference to how the game plays. I have been playing it for over a month now and I am just getting to the end of the Dark Mission.

The only thing that ... Read More:

Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (Xbox)

I'm not a serious gamer, I don't really have the TIME to be a serious gamer, not enough time to master every single control technique. I like to be able to pick up the controller and have a decent game of football.

PES 5 is a really fun game, but I get the feeling it could have been so much better. Its great fun to play, looks great and flows along at a good pace. Its also great fun with two players but its a different story against the AI.

Long balls don't work, neither do through balls, the opposition has a sixth sense that tells them exaclty where the ball will go. Its impossible to score from free kicks, nearly all my shots seem to be blocked by the defender and why is it that every tackle results in a free kick to the opposition?

The biggest downfall ... Read More:
