The Warriors (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Rockstar

October 21, 2005
I must confess to never watching the film - the main reason I bought this game was that I have been waiting for a good free roaming beat 'em up since the Streets of Rage games on the Mega Drive. The genre has never successfully made the transition into 3D before The Warriors.

Intitially, I was slightly underwhelmed by this game. The opening training mission was great for introducing the controls (which are very good) and characters but the second proper mission is far too long, drawn out and boring. After that's done the game really picks up and is so hard to put down.

The sheer variety of gameplay and objectives on offer is impressive - it's not just mindless fighting from start to finish. You may have to cause ... Read More:

The Matrix: Path of Neo (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Atari

November 11, 2005
I bought this game because I liked the Enter the Matrix game and believed that this would improve on that. How wrong I was. The graphics are below average for the Xbox, the cut scenes are a joke and the controls are mind numbingly awkward and repetitive. Just to tell u how bad it is [...]I still feel cheated. I dont usually write reviews but I had to warn the public about this turkey. Avoid if you can.

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Xbox)

Nothing else but great. I laughed out loud at some of the cutscenes...eg. a load of lego workmen spinning around on chairs when Darth inspects the Death Star. The graphics are excellent and the whole package works well. Not just for kids.

Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas (Xbox Classics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Rockstar


This game is just superb. i could finish the review right there and hope that people would just go out and experience all the small things that make the game wonderful for themselves. when i first bought this game i knew i was in for a treat as rockstars GTA series hardly ever puts a foot wrong. the fact you can customise your character by buying different clothes, trying out different haircuts, eating and working out just shows a very small bit of the variety of this game.

There are many a missions for you to have a go at and the difficulty is just about right. i finished the game a little while ago and can still go back and play it for hours. one of the best improvements since vice city is the much bigger variety of bikes, cars, planes and boats. the ... Read More:

Just Cause (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Eidos

September 22, 2006
Being one of the last few big games that will be released on the xbox before the 360 takes over and being that I can't afford one of those, this is a fantastic game! The graphics are stunning from a distance and it is only when you examine everything from very close up that some of the buildings are a little disappointing! The lifespan of this game is almost endless and I have played it for about 4 hours non stop and there is no sign of it freezing. The map is unbelievably huge and there is so much to discover from hidden air bases to secret cars etc. The only thing that lets it down is that u can only save the game at certain points or whenever you return to a safe house, tho this isn't too much of a problem as there are lots of them! Buy it today!

Brothers in Arms: Road To Hill 30 (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Ubisoft

March 18, 2005
Anyone who's seen Steven Spielberg's 'Band Of Brothers' or 'Saving Private Ryan' will know exactly the brutal reality faced by soldiers in World War II. And a fair whack of those people who have watched either will want to witness it from another perspective, from behind a controller. Which is where 'Brothers In Arms' comes in. Having been described by many as the ultimate World War II FPS squad-based shooter, it easily achieves in its aim of putting you in the hands of a realistic squad and throwing you in at the deep end. There's just one snag - to be honest, we've seen it before.

'Brothers In Arms' does everything its set out to do; with damningly intelligent AI, you, as the leader of your squad, have to navigate through some of the most dangerous and ... Read More:

James Bond 007: Nightfire: (Xbox Classics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Electronic Arts

November 29, 2002
This game is a mixture of just about everything a game can offer, with driving missions or plain out shooter this is a truly great game.
The graphics are O.K, they are not the beat graphics ever but the yare pretty good. The only bad thing is the choice of wepons, there's not a great choice. But James Bond uses what he finds.
All in all this game is great and i would reccomend it to anyone who likes an action packed shooter. (when i say anyone i mean obove the age limmit.)

Project Gotham Racing 2 (Xbox)

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!

Shrek 2 (Xbox)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Xbox
from: Activision

June 18, 2004
When i bought this game, i wasn't expecting much, but i was pleasantly surprised.Although the game can grow a little monotonous if you play it too much, when playing with friends it is great fun. You can play with up to 3 other people and whether your playing with young gamers or adults, the game can be very entertaining.
However the game is rather short and could do with a few more levels. It's a very easy and laid-back game that can be completed in a couple of hours.
Definately not for someone who wants a challenge but it's worth having just to muck around on with mates.

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.
