Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Ubisoft

August 20, 2004
For those that have played any Rainbow series, this is basically an add-on game with new missions in new settings, with the added advantage of having 2-player mode for hunting terrorists, which is a very welcome plus in you don't want to go online.

The maps are very challenging, and the enemy AI has improved extremely, the bad guys now throw a lot of firebombs or RPG's and there are snipers in some of the scenarios. They even take hostages! I was very surprised when I faced one terrorist, wiht a hostage and shooting a gun at me! Man, that guy got so wasted!

The briefings are presented in a new way, much better in my opinion, but I still miss the planning side of things from the PC version.

These are the only ... Read More:

Manhunt (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Rockstar

April 23, 2004
I don't give a flying circus whether anyone thinks that this is a bad game for whatever reason they do, whether it is because they say it is just a poor version of Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell etc. (which is totally unfair as it not trying to be those games in any way and the only thing that is similar is that this is a stealth game) or just too sick and trying to be as violent as possible just to create controversy or being too boring, whatever their reason, if they don't like the horror genre then they should simply avoid it as they can't possibly appreciate what makes this game so brilliant.

Although this is a violent game, the violence is a bonus, this does not make the game scary, it is the atmosphere, the synth soundtrack, the ... Read More:

Spartan: Total Warrior (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Sega

October 07, 2005
I don't normally review but this game is really underated. I'm 35, an ex-squaddie & love action games, this one is right up there with Star Wars Battlefront 1,2 & Rogue trooper - which is just terrific.

Response of the graphics to the controls in Spartan is fantastic - avoiding common gaming problem with loads of opponents on screen i.e. any idiot can get the same result by thrashing the controller.
Subsequent levels & story board are good too. The Hydra level is the only poor level in my opinion.

Later levels provide more weapons & advanced power for special moves which give greater playability as you re-visit the game to try to perfect control of specific weapon.

Serious Sam (XBOX)

from: Take 2 Interactive

December 06, 2002
OK! it maybe anime but it is certainly one of the best games i have played! i just finished completing it and its great. The bosses are easily killed with the right weapon,and the strange and dangerous creatures add effect and keep you on your feet.It may be repetative but its still a good game all the way through.

Crash Nitro Kart (Xbox)

I have never played such a bad computer game. The graphics are awful, the story is farfetched, and it is just not fun. I recommend everyone not to touch it. When I purchased it from Amazon, all the reviews said it was good. But I beg to differ!

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Sierra

March 28, 2003
The graphics and sound are brilliant in this game with the film music bringing it to life. The first time you play the game you spend more time watching your dinosaurs than anything else. Gameplay is relatively easy but interesting and involved, with diseases, the odd storm and escaping dinosaurs to add spice. Other factors such as the balloon and land rover rides add even more interest. There is incentive to replay the game as you can't get all species in one game due to a limit on dig sites. You are able to select sites based on which species are likely to be found there though so you will be able to get that T-Rex!

A great game!

FIFA 06 (Xbox)

Someone told me that this was better than the mighty Pro Evolution Soccer. Wow! I thought, I have to give this a go.

Well they were wrong.

Poor graphics, poor gameplay, poor design, players that look nothing like their real lfe counterparts, poor AI .... I could go on forever listing the flaws this game has.

Having spent many years playing various football games I have come to the following conclusion; This is the worst football game I have ever played. A total waste of money.

In fact, my brother just brought an XBOX, so I let him have it. I'll stick to Pro Evolution Soccer in the future and avoid friends advice.

Rocky Legends (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Ubisoft

October 01, 2004
I'm possibly the biggest Rocky fan there is and I was so happy when the first game came out, it had its good points and it's bad but still a great game. So i was even more excited to hear Rocky Legends was coming out, complete with a career mode for each Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago and Rocky Balboa.

Now don't get me wrong, it's a great game but there isn't much too it if you own the first one. Sure you have a career for every boxer (minus Tommy Gunn) but I can't help but feel that all the careers lack storyline. Each one kicks off with a nice little bit of story but then you have 23-24 fights with no story to it, until your final fight.. a bit disapointing.

Another gripe with the game is the terrible voice overs, hearing Drago with a high pitched voice is quite laughable. ... Read More:
