Mark Ecko'S Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Atari

February 17, 2006
'Getting Up' to no good with a can of spray paint; brilliant..

I had a lot of fun playing this game. It takes a while to get used
to spraying the larger pieces but despite that its brilliant..

Its about time there were different genres of games to choose
from, after a while some get repetitive and are similar to others.
I learned soooooooo much about graffiti whilst playing, its really
inspiring stuff..

The story line is quite moving in parts, the ending is perfect.
Some challenges are quite difficult, (spraying the trains), dont
give up.. I Sometimes found it hard to control Trane; i was all
over the place..!

This game is amazing from start to end, ... Read More:

King Of Fighters 2002 (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Ignition

September 30, 2005
Well I've been playing the King of Fighters series ever since the 96 installment and although having it's ups and downs in the series I can definitely say this installment into the series doesn't fail to deliver.

The first thing that hit me was that this King of Fighters game actually has a decent number of game modes in comparison to the previous games and also has a colour edit mode (exactly the same as you may have seen in CvS2), you have your basic training mode and one on one modes aswell as the ability to play on Xbox Live.

The Graphics I noticed is a huge step up for the series with 3D animations running within the background and highly detailed character portraits although sadly there's not much I can say about ... Read More:

True Crime: Streets of LA (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Activision

November 07, 2003
When I first go this game I thought It would be brilliant, it is for a while, but then the missions are virtually all the same. And when you go on the rampage and kill a load of people they dont resist or anything - boring. Some of the cheats are excellent though.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Sierra

November 12, 2004
I brought this game as after my PS broke i got myself an xbox and really missed playing the old Spyro games.

Overall this game is ok but can be a little frustrating and some of the challanges can be a little long and eventually get boring. Even though i got to the end of this game i never got 100% unlike the other games because i couldnt be bother to play as the other charaters....especailly as Sparx

I did enjoy the improved grapics and the story was good and i have played this game a few times. I don't think this is a game for the xbox though and the controls can sometimes be frustrating so if your looking for a Spyro games stick to the playstation or buy it pre-owned as this is not worth the full price.

Crash Twinsanity Classics (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Sierra

September 23, 2005
Is the above all we have to emphasize about the game -- two-player game mechanic? It's not the be and end all as there's much more on offer here, though there are some fine and fun-filled moments with Crash using hapless Evil Scientist Dr. Cortex as a snowboard, etc. as they pool their resources with niece Nina Cortex to take on the Evil Twins.

Good-looking graphics, catchy music in a style of its own, low level of frustration although the saves could have been more frequent when testing new ground. Great variety between sets that get more imaginative and entertaining as the game progresses. Much humour delivered in a fun storyline, occasionally a little beyond the average five- or six-year-old but without detracting from the experience. I would ... Read More:

Far Cry Instincts: Evolution (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Ubisoft

March 31, 2006
This expansion fixes all the (minor) problems of the fantastique Far Cry Instincts. It now has adjustble difficulty, more weapons, vehicles, more alternate routes, more level variation and a new feral power. the plot is not disimilar to that of the original and neither is the gameplay.
However, the mapmaker has been greatly improved, with more environments, and brush sets to use, aswell as the new weapons and vehicles to put into them.
Overall, great expansion which fixes the originals faults to create the perfect game.

Futurama (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Eidos

August 01, 2003
I re-bought this game recently and sadly i'd obviously remembered it as being better than it actually is.

Oh i don't want to be harsh - i love Futurama and have all the DVD's (and film) but the graphics in this game are well...pants!. Leela's hair is pink in the game for some reason when it should be purple. On the whole the graphics arent very smooth and just look poor when compared to some of the Simpsons game graphics of the same era.

But credit must be given that the game does capture the essence of 'rama and the in-game jokes and references are funny. As a basic run around, collecting and shooting things type game then its average.

I must say i'm glad i have obtained it again but not sure it will be a game that i will ... Read More:

Midtown Madness 3 (XBOX)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Microsoft

June 27, 2003
.......so why did i give it 4 stars? Because as a game on its own it is very good.
But it's just not as fun or as easy to play as MM2 (pc only). This is becasue of small points - no instant race reply, dull city design, poor choice of cars (a lot but not good choices, average track (race) design.
Buy it, but if you like this game, and can put up with the dated graphics, find a copy of MM2 - is more fun and is a classic game - MM3 isn't.

DRIV3R (Xbox)

from: Atari

June 25, 2004
I have not played Driver 1 or 2 but I have played this one. The graphics are good but not superb. Sometimes it is hilarious because civilians jump off cliffs and policeman bounce on the hoods of their cars. There are three cities, Miami, Nice and Istanbul. Out of the three Miami is the best. There are lots of stunt opportunities in every city which is good because the cops normally go flying often doing about twenty barrel rolls before landing. There are lots of cheats, such as unlimited amm and invicibility. The mission mode is good but it is very hard. The first mission you have to chase a profilic gangster. The crimes that the gangs commit are co-ordinated by Jericho, the man you're trying to stop in the game. In the last mission you have to chase him, with on ... Read More:
