WOW
Incredible graphics, gameplay and sound. Its great. you explore massive levels littered with many enemys, and shoot anything that moves. there are timed excapes and its relatively close to the pc version(game play wise). everything is interactable, if you shoot the toilet it breaks and spurts water, if you shoot the candy machine it explodes. All of his catch phrases are here, such as dam im good, hail to the king, bitchin, and kick ass. to be honest they curse alot in this game. when ever you dont have the key to open a locked door he says somthing like dammit or son of a bitch. its a great fps, one of the best.

It is fun, but the PC version of Duke Nukem 3d is better!
The two reasons why I suggest the PC version version is:

1. You can download .map files on the internet, which means, MORE LEVELS!!
2. The PC version is original, not ported.

So if you plan to get this game for GBA, think again.

Come Get Some. . . On The GBA!!!
Hands down the best FPS available for the GBA. It was the 6th FPS released for the system. Duke Nukem Advance brings all the attitude and fire power to the small screen in a richly detailed FPS. The game feautures 4 exotic locations taking you to Area 51, the Temple of Amun in Egypt, the streets of Sydney, Austrailia, and an alien ship orbiting earth. The game feauters 10 fun weapons from your mighty boot to a shrink ray. All of the classic enemies from the original Duke Nukem 3D are intact with a few welcome editions. This is not only the best FPS for Game Boy but, in my expert opinion, the best game for Game Boy! This is definitely top-notch stuff!

Duke Nukem is, indeed, back..and with a vengeance....
Admittedly, I first bought a Gameboy Advance just to play FPS games on it(namely Doom) and, over the course of owning the system, I've collected quite a few FPS for it. Some absolutely awesome and some not worth mentioning. Yet, out of them all- I have to stand in agreement with the other reviewers here that say Duke Nukem Advance has to be the best FPS game on the GBA..period. Not that Doom, Wolfenstein 3-D or Ecks vs Sever weren't that good- they were for the time that they were released for the system...and I tip my hat to their developers on the tremendous jobs they did with them. But...Duke Nukem Advance pushed the envelope on innovation in the game. You're able to do things in DNA that you just can't do anywhere else. And, for that..it holds that crown as the best FPS on the handheld..at least, for now...anyways. The graphics are crisp and the control is smooth just like a FPS should be. If there were any gripes, it'd be trying to see your enemies in the distance. Yet, that is to be expected on a handheld. I must say I'm impressed with the job that was done on the game. It's definitely one worth adding to your collection.
As Duke says.."Hail to the King, Baby!"....

Sweet game.
If u liked duke 3d for cmoputer get this bottom line.By far best GBA shooter out. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Any new gaming console needs to offer a quality fighting game at launch,and for the Xbox that title is Tecmo's Dead or Alive 3. ThoughDOA3 doesn't revolutionize the fighting genre, it does offer a greatgaming experience, and its graphics easily surpass every other fighting game onthe market--on any system.

DOA3 offers eight modes of play, including story, team battle, tagbattle, and sparring. Sparring mode is customizable and is a nice way for newplayers to learn how to play the game, while story mode lets you take one of the16 available characters through a series of matches culminating in a fightagainst the über-powerful Omega. Once you defeat Omega, a short moviespecific to your character is unlocked. The story mode doesn't make a lot ofsense (and the dialogue is laughable) but the end movies are pretty cool, andit's fun playing through the game as each of the characters.

The real meat of the game, though, is its combat, and DOA3 delivers inspades. Each character has specific attacks, such as Zack's Devil Elbow or BassArmstrong's Stun Gun Chop, and once you get the moves down, the entire affaircan unfold like a carefully choreographed ballet as combatants block blows,counterattack, and land devastating punch and kick combos. Adding to the game'sappeal are the massive and detailed multilevel arenas (introduced inDOA2), in which a precise kick or punch can send a combatant plummetingthrough the air down to the arena's next level.

It's obvious that DOA3 was designed as a showcase for the Xbox'sgraphical prowess, and it shows--the game's graphics are awesome. The charactermodels look amazing and feature highly detailed clothing and accessories, andthe animations are extremely smooth. The environments are also outstanding, andfeature tons of little touches such as fluttering leaves, snow-covered groundthat can be torn up during the course of a fight, and great-looking water. Eventhe background structures are highly detailed.

DOA3 doesn't rewrite the rules of the fighting genre, but its greatgraphics and intense fighting--especially in multiplayer mode--make for anenjoyable gaming experience. --William Harms

Pros:

• Brilliant graphics
• Lots of gameplay modes
• Multileveled arenas keep the fighting exciting

• Story mode makes no sense
• Few unlockable extras

Features

• The tremendous detail in the environments are all the more impressive when you consider just how massive they really are.
• Striking character models, powered up from previous incarnations.
• The single most gratuitous use of processing power is in the form of a female fighter in a Karate gear.

like watching a porno film

I mean really half naked woman and very sexy clothes. It's a video game for god sake. I really don't like it and if you like porn go ahead.

A Really Fun Game, Terrific Graphics
I'm not a huge video game fan, but I happen to have an X-Box and my friend had this game. I played it a few times with two player and I got beat everytime. I couldn't figure out if it was because I suck or if it was because he was better. Well, I beat the game with all the characters in less than a week. The game has a large number of different modes, including Story Mode, Time Mode, Team mode where you make a team and then fight a bunch of other people. Story mode is a lot different from other story modes I have done in games. You pick a character out of the 20 or so characters and then fight a bunch of people until you reach Omega and unlock a movie. You have to do this with all the characters to unlock the movies. This is a really nice touch. This game is addicting and maddening as well. I threw the controller across the room. The graphics are terrific, the movies you unlock look like a real movie and it is just spectacular to watch. A-

One of the greatest fighting games in history
This game is awesome, the graphics are incredible and clean
I just have this game for 2 months and I still don't get bored of it and the fighting styles is something to be proud of, but I still like more soul calibur 2

Lets get it on
I've owned Dead or Alive 3 ever since it hit the markets awhile back. This game is fairly entertaining but too simple for a guy like me. I enjoy tough games that take awhile to beat, but this game is easy. You choose your character and go through and fight the same evil guys over and over, until you get to the last evil guy (which is like a fire guy or the devil) then you kill him and you have beaten the game with that character. Very repeatative and starts to get boring. I have beaten the game with all the characters on hard mode. There are some positive things as well. The movies you obtain after beating the game are awesome. The gameplay is smooth and can be very fun at times. You get a movie for every character and I also have to say the graphics or outstanding.

The revolution in fighting games
I have owned this game for about 2 years now so I have played it a lot, and for good reason. This my second favorite fighting next to tekken(tekken is very close to my heart because it was the first fighting game I ever played on the PS1) So this game is great if your are a hardcore fighting fan! ...

What's the problem?
I've read a lot of reviews bad mouthing this game. All I have to say is: Read the manufacturer's specs and don't try running it on an old slow computer. Make sure you have a decent graphics adapter and plenty of RAM. The on-line gaming is great, even using a 56k modem. Half the fun is tweaking your car setups and testing the results on the track. If you love racing (and aren't afraid to put a little effort into learning) this game is a winner.

This game sucks
If you are looking for a realistic Nascar sim, then do not buy this game, or any other Nascar game from EA Sports for that matter.The graphics on this game are good, but the whole thing is just so unrealistic. If you want a true Nascar sim any of the Nascar games from Papyrus is your best bet, i highly recommend Nascar racing 4.

stupid
It is too unrealistic. You feel like quiting on the first lap it is so boring the cars are slow and have bad handling. the graphics are choppy and pausey. This game is for fools. If you want a good racing game expeirience get NFS4 or NR2003 Season instead of this game. Their is only 1 thing good about it. it is cool to wreck that slow, poorly designed car.

just play the demo
NASCAR racing series 2003 has better graphics(B)

Based on the Contra III game for SNES, this fast-paced 2-D side-scrolling shooter has all the classic, addictive gameplay that has since become a hallmark of the series. This game features all-new levels that have been specially designed for the powerful GBA system. Players can also link up with a friend (link cable required) in the two-player simultaneous mode for twice the fun and firepower. ... Read more

Great!
I love it!It is so cool!The other bozos, however, don't.They miss bombs and 2 weapons.The bombs were cheezy.Kill everything on screen with one button.The 2 weapons was cheating.Put a spreader on one side and switch before you die and tell me that isn't cheating.I don't see bombs or 2 weapons on Shattered Soldier (also great).Then again, Shattered Soldier gives you 3 weapons, which charge.And you can't lose them.I'll save the rest for a SS review.
There are supposedly new levels, but I can't tell.I never played the original.
They say this game is luck.Luck is nothing.
TELL ME I'M LUCKY WHEN I GET TO FRICKEN' LEVEL 4 WITHOUT DYING ONCE!(I'm good, not great)
Passwords suck.I prefer to play straight through in one sit.
I hope they port Contra.And Castlevania 2...

It's cool, but not also
The GBA is nothing but a repository for bad ports of SNES titles that weren't all that good in the first place.
According to some people, anyway. Such close-minded folk will simply have to miss out on this lovely Contra remix, a combination of two of the 16-bit era's best shooters.
The Alien Wars (SNES) and Hard Corps (Genesis) with some extra stuff thrown in for good measure. (The only major omissions: The SNES game's overhead levels are gone, and you can't carry multiple weapons at once.) If you've never played them before, consider this game a handy pocket reference to an age that unfortunately passed long ago. As you'd expect from Konami's 16-bit years, The Alien Wars EX features stupendously well-animated characters and a boopy-yet-catchy soundtrack. The control's spot-on, too, which is helpful 'cuz the smaller screen size means you have a much tinier margin of error during most boss battles. Of course, this being Contra, the game's mind-numbingly challenging a fact that limited continues and an annoying 18-letter password system don't change much. Despite (or perhaps because of) this, this is one hot 'n spicy GBA remake that's actually worth the money for a change.

Not How I Remember It...
I was so elated to find out Konami was releasing a new version of the SNES classic Contra 3 for the Gameboy Advance.To my disappointment, I didn't find myself having as much fun with this version as I did several years ago on my old 16 bit machine.My biggest gripe is that the game walks the fine line between excessively challenging and unenjoyably frustrating.What were the developers thinking?You can no longer toggle between weapons; rather whatever you pick up is what you shoot with.This wouldn't be a major issue if certain weapons weren't useless in certain situations.There are also no more bombs so you better pray you have quick reflexes to get you out of those super tight spots.Aside from the difficulty issue, the only other major flaw is the archaic password/save feature which is totally inconvinient for a portable game.Everything else is actually O.K.The game looks just like the old SNES version and has aged quite gracefully making for a really nice looking portable game.Controls are tight and alleviate some of the stress from the frantic learning curve.If your looking for an insanely hard shooting game (and I mean INSANELY HARD) for those long car rides, by all means Contra Advance is a perfect choice.For those looking for a game that is a little more enjoyable and rewards skill rather than luck, you should go somewhere else; and for the old Contra fans, pick it up used for some old thrills, then pull out your SNES and really put some time into the old game.

16 Bit Memory lane...
Contra Advance is a great title that is really much better than I anticipated it would be.At first glance, it seems like the SNES Contra III: Alien Wars, with levels from Hard Corps thrown in for good measure.Well, it is that, but I'm surprised at how well this conversion stacks up in today's age of 3D games. While this version has the SNES' overhead Mode 7 levels replaced with levels from the Genesis' Hard Corps game, it also has the restrictions of the GBA's smaller screen.Makes it a little tougher than the SNES version, as well as replacing the original's feature to have 2 different weapons with the ability to stay in one place and shoot in 8 directions or move and lock your line of fire in one.Better in some ways, but some will miss the 2 weapons feature.Also, music is of course not as good as the SNES version, but what GBA game has super music?

Graphics are identical to the original 16 bit titles, sound effects sound the same, but boss patterns have changed some.Also, because of screen size, there are some rather cheap deaths once in awhile.Surprisingly, this doesn't detract from the game at all.Plays as well as any Contra did.For a portable title, this game is excellent and it's goodness outshines any flaws.

ROCKZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS GAME IS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You can walk on foot shooting aliens,or robots or whatever,or you can get into jeeps or tanks and blow bad guys up.Though the sound is kinda bad the graphics are good for GBA and the gamplay...thegamplay is AWESOME!Also you can play with the GBA link cable in co-op with you friends ...

DA BOMB RACING GAME
This game is a great game if u wanna chalenging, hard to beat racing game. This game has awesome graphics and its not so easy to beat it took me about 30 MINUTES to beat one of the races. Although, sometimes you may get frustrated when you race, and sometimes you're in 1st and then someone comes and knocks you out-or spins you out-you end up in 5th.

Good Things-
Awesome Cars (Stock cars in speed and power, Modified cars in speed and power, Pro cars in speed and power, and Unlimitied cars in speed and power)
NOT easy to beat
good graphics
ALOT of races
A GOOD GAME
Good music, and sound
once beaten still really fun to play
really good with multiplayer
free roam is fun

Bad things-
Frustrating at some points
when selecting things have to push the button awfully hard
easy to win once in front of everyone kind of alot

so overall, A PRETTY GOOD GAME RIGHT(...)

Fun if you like arcade style racing.
I'm a big fan of arcade style racing, and Test Drive:Off Road took it to the next level.(If you prefer more "realistic" racing where you buy parts & make money see my review on 4x4 Evo2 instead.)

Test Drive delivers the one thing I have wanted from a racing game for years, the ability to choose your own way through a course, AND still win.In '98 Microsoft came out with Motocross Madness, where you rode dirtbikes and did tricks for points, but when you were in racing mode, if you left the track, you didn't stand a chance of winning.

Test Drive is different.There are tracks that you can use, and finish, and win on.But you can choose to go off road and win also.You choose your vehicle based on what you want to do.There are power vehicles and speed vehicles.The speed vehicles do well on the relatively flat dirt tracks that lead to the finish, while the power vehicles that have lower top speeds do better leaving the beaten (longer) path and taking the shortcut over the top of the mountain.

That said, there is still a downside:There are a relatively limited number of races, so if you are like me and tend to finish games quickly then this one won't take you long.It can also be frustrating, because when you play in the hardest mode, the other vehicles will attempt to bump you and make you spin out.That is really annoying when you managed to stay in first place through an entire race, and then get spun out 10 seconds before you hit the finish line and you end up in 5th place.

Great multiplayer fun.
Let's start out by saying that I never bought this game for a realistic four wheeling adventure.Anyone who wants to claim that any of the 4x4 games out there are realistic has never broken an axle Jeeping down a mountainside. If you want authentic outdoor experiences, leave your living room.However if its a cold and rainy day and you have some friends over tryout the multiplayer "King of the hill" mode.This is the one reason I love this game so much.As for the graphics, well they arent great but getting pumped up by the music and knocking your friends around makes up for it. ...

Fritz 8 is nice.
I guess Fritz 8 is stronger than chessmaster 8000 (GOOD). I have almost the whole family of chessmaster xxxx (from 2000 to 8000). Fritz 8 human interface is not very friendly or intuitive, maybe I spent too much time with the chessmaster series. I could not find the self-play mode in Fritz. The analysis of Fritz is very professional, it even uses the international symbols to grade the position. However I'd like to see another mode to give numeric values at each position like chessmaster, the symbol =/+ , +/=, etc. are not specific enough (at least to a detail player like me.) The user manual is hard to follow.
OK, 4 1/2 stars.

Worst User Interface Ever Designed!!
This program has a lot of features, however, it's pretty close to impossible to figure out how to get the features to work. I've never in my life seen a program with such a non-discoverable, non-intuitive, obscure interface.What is truly amazing about this program, is you can read the manual and still not figure out how to use the features!I've just spent 2 hours (including studying the manual) trying to figure out how to load a PGN file of some games that I've played to use the analysis features of the program and I still have no clue how to do it. Unbelievable.I've used several other chess programs and never had to even open the manual.I've used 100's of windows programs and this is clearly the worst interface I've ever seen.

Many Features combined with easy gameplay!
I don't know why someone would complain about bugs in this game because I have yet to find one! My guess is that the person complaing about them is using a pirated version of the software and thus his problems were created.

Anyhow, the game is definitly loaded with features (most of which are already explained by other reviews) but the one thing I wanted to emphasize is that this game actually helped better my game play tremendously!

Un buen juego de Ajedrez
La verdad, resulta sorprendente lo facil que resulta jugar.

This Beast is Best
I have most of the top commercial chess programs in the world (Shredder, Fritz, Junior, Hiarcs, Chess Tiger, Deep Sjeng, Ruffian 2, Rebel and Chessmaster), and Fritz is my favorite program.I don't even use Chessmaster anymore.Fritz is a Chessbase product, so it is state-of-the art in all respects.I can't imagine why some of the other reviewers had some problems with it.Myself and my chess-playing friends have had none.

For those who are saavy about chess programs, yes, I admit that Fritz is the second-strongest program ... Shredder 8 (also a Chessbase product) is definitely stronger than Fritz, but if you aren't Gary Kasparov, who knows the difference?Besides, in my view Shredder suffers from several defects ... its principal variation (PV) in analysis can be complete rubbish (ie: hanging a queen for no compensation), although it's first move of the PV is always first-rate.Also, Shredder's playing style is "dryer" and more technical (e.g. boring) than Fritz.If you want a tip-top program that plays like a boring machine, grinding out wins, then get Shredder.If you want a program that will come at you like a doberman, then get Junior, Hiarcs or Chess Tiger.But if you want the best of both of these worlds, then get Fritz!

Hey, let's face it ... unless you are a Grandmaster, any of the top programs I named, on their top level, will tear you to tiny little pieces every time, especially when you're playing blitz.However, Fritz has many modes (like Friend, Sparring and "personalities") that can lead it to playing like you!There are dozens of ways to change or "dummy down" Fritz's play, and you can have fun with all of them.You can also use Fritz's GUI to play the many FREE winboard or UCI engines freely available on the Internet (I have about 3 dozen, but many more are available).So, it's like having a whole chess club at your disposal, and you can even have the various engines and personalities play each other in matches or tournaments, or help you play against Fritz.(I don't know about you, but I need help against the silicon beasts.)

One observation ... which program does Gary Kasparov (and other top players like Anand, Kramnik, Leko, etc) use and analyze with?Fritz.Did Chessmaster get a match with Gary Kasparov or Vladimir Kramnik?Nope ... only Fritz and Junior did.If Kasparov says Fritz analyzes the best, that's good enough for me!

Fritz's database is also very useful and it's GUI and many features are top-notch.Also, if you are a serious chess player and want to get the top chess database program, Chessbase, then Fritz will fit in seamlessly.How can you go wrong, especially at this discounted price?(Don't hold your breath looking for a discount at Chessbase...ha, ha.)

So the bottom line?Fritz is #1.Get it from Amazon!I did, and don't regret it a bit. ... Read more

Dodge ball, the schoolyard sport in which kids bean each other withrubber balls thrown at welt-raising velocity, really is the sport of bullies.Thankfully, Super Dodge Ball Advance presents an experience in which thewelts aren't included, while lots of fun and laughs are.

The game features two teams of squat, cartoonish, big-headed kids. Some are onthe playing field and some reside in the back zone ready to scoot up a lob andnail an opponent in the back or from the side. The animations, particularly whena kid gets squashed, are amusing, and, after all, are also the point of thegame. Amass points and win the match, then move on to the next horde ofbig-headed kids.

There are several kinds of throws you can make to surprise your opponents,including a cool corkscrew throw and a straight-up overhanded bean ball. As youknock teams out (no pun intended), you advance toward the world competition(shades of South Park here), where you represent your favorite nation.You can also link up with an opponent for a little head-to-head action, which isthe best way to dish out some virtual pain onto local bullies who lack your madvideo gaming skills. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• It's virtual dodge ball! What's not to like?
• It's one of the first sports games for the GBA
• The graphics are perfect and the action is fast

• The sound is a little grating

Awesome Game
Super Dodge Ball Advanced is a great game.In my opinion, its got lots of replay value.Sure, you can beat it in a half hour or less, but its a sports game, so you can keep playing.The graphics are average, but how good graphics do you need to play a dodge ball game anyway.The music is alright, but a little repetitive.The game can be either really hard or really easy and anything in between with the five difficulty settings and other settings too such as, how tough it is to throw a super throw.You can link up, but I never have so I couldn't tell you how fun that is.To sum it up here is a list of pros and cons.
PROS-
1. Good replay value
2. Multiple diffuclty settings
3. Average graphics
4. Appropriate for all ages, but then again, what isn't
5. Its dodgeball
6. Game Link compatible
7. You can name characters and teams even not your own
CONS-
1. Repetative music
2. Unlike the NES game, there isn't a bean ball mode(mode that pits you individually against your teammates on a field)
3. Also unlike the classic, there aren't any River City Ransom Graphics, instead people don't even have noses.If you never played River City Ransom, the old dodgeball game or World Cup just forget that con
4. There is no team creator, which really, really sucks.That also ruins the whole point of versus mode too because you both have the same premade teams with just possible name differences.
5. Too short of a game, needs more teams or something.

Fun but shallow
This game is a blast but I must say its extremly shawdow.Fans of the old dodge ball game from an older nintendo system will probly love this game, I did but then I unlocked everything in a hour or so, sure there is more matches to play but its just a bunch of the same, I wore this game out in a day or two which is a shame because its a great game...just not enough substance.Get it if you pay $$$ or less definatly, think about it strongly otherwise.

Fun at first, gets old
This Game has a lot of the same characteristics of the original for the Super NES, which will make older gamers happy.But the game play doesn't change enough for my taste.Even the indroduction of new, more powerful teams didn't peak my excitement.In my view, it's worth renting, but because a good gamer could beat it in a half hour, it's not worth buying.

Dont You Remember This?
Wow a handheld version of the 80's nintendo sports game Super Dodge Ball i picked this game up and had a lot of fun very similar to the original NES platform version. As far as this being set in the near future this concept isnt anything new it was a sleeper game on NES and one of my favorites. Pick this game up for a good game for any age and if your not a sports fan, well why not get this one i mean hey who didnt have fun playing dodgeball at school? *cough*billgates*cough* ... Read more

Great - until you play NBA Live 2004
This game was really fun when I first got it. The gameplay was great.
You can use classic uniforms for every team.
Players celebrate or mope around after a key shot.
The franchise mode was alright.
The commentary could be a lot better. They repeat themselves a lot and say things that are stupid.
Fouls are called when they shouldn't be and aren't called when they should be.
1 on 1 is a really fun option. You can build up your skills and can play in an urban court, beach court, or a gym.
NBA LIVE 2003 IS OKAY, BUT COULD BE A LOT BETTER!

The other day I played NBA Live 2004 for the first time. I could not believe the realism. Everything is extremely realistic. You feel like your actually in a basketball game. The commentary can't get any better.The gameplay is outstanding, too. The smooth graphics and player animations. You can use EVERY classic uniform from every team in a game.

excelente juego, pero...
ojala alguna persona hable espa?ol para que entienda my punto de vista.
Este juego es excelente de manera global, pero, no me gusta que en este juego, jugando a cualquier nivel, cualquier jugador puede tener un partido de 30 puntos. Adem?s, detesto que en este juego no se pueda jugar a una velocidad menor (es muy r?pido para mi gusto). Tuve la oportunidad de jugar la serie sega NBA 2K... y me parece mucho m?s real que la versi?n EA sports (es posible regular la velocidad de los jugadores y ning?n mal jugador puede anotar m?s de 30 puntos).
A parte de eso, el juego NBA live 2003 tiene excelentes gr?ficas y caracter?sticas.

This game is great , but it could be better
This game is great. I like it a lot and I could name of 20 or 30 good things about it, but one thing is bad.YOU CAN SCORE ON ANY BODY AT ANY TIME!!!Basicly,it just lets you fly right past your defender. I know a lot about basketball,and you just can NOT fly rigt past your defender unless your Michal Jordan or Kobe Bryant. But everything else is nearly perfect, so for that one bad thing, I'll give it 4 stars.

Very Good Basketball Game
I just got this game 2 weeks ago but I am VERY impressed!The new freestyle system is really cool where you can move the C-Stick(If you have Gamecube)and do different moves and tricks!Also by using the D-Stick you can call off you're own plays like isolation and the pick and roll.Another good feature is a 2-player franchise mode play through ten exciting seasons with one of your friends!This game is mine AND my friends favorite game!We play this game all the time.This a great game with almost Unlimited replay value.If you don't have this game but it NOW!

Better Than the 2K Series
The NBA Live Series is so much better than the 2k series. Graphics are better, gameplay is better, controls are better,A.I is better, and is funner than 2K.

Graphics: 10/10

One of the most anticipated sequels in recent memory, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 builds upon the addictive gameplay of the original by adding many new tricks and features. The idea is still to perform complicated tricks for points, and players can still ride as Tony or any of an expanded roster of pros in the new game. Now, however, players can create their own skaters from scratch, selecting appearance, gear, clothes, and more. Players can also create their own ideal skate parks by instantly building ramps, rails, pipes, and other challenging obstacles.

All of the old tricks remain, but the game features hundreds of new additions. Of course, with all of these new tricks to master, there are also more detailed accidents: scraped knees, broken boards, and wall and (ouch!) pole collisions. ... Read more

The Best Extreme Sports Game... wait, theres an N64 version?
Just read the title, this is one heck of a game. I've already mastered this game on the Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance but this N64 version was 9 bucks at Wal-Mart so I just bought it for the cheap price even though I already owned it on 2 other systems. Anyway this is a skateboarding game and you can play as 12 different pros icluding Kareem Cambell, Rune Glifberg, Bucky Lasek and of course Tony Hawk. The gameplay is pretty hard at first but you'll get used to it in no time and start doing 10+ trick combos. The replay value is infinete you'll never get sick of playing it because of all the different tricks you can pull off in the amazingly well set up levels. The levels are fairly huge and are filled with ramps and half pipes and rails to grind. The graphics in this version are a little disapointing mainly because of the cartiridge format the N64 uses. There's mass pop up and fog but it's not too distracting from the gameplay. There's is also slowdown and choppyness whenthings get extreme and there are a few glitches but once you get into the gameplay it's hardly noticable. The controls are also very good C left does the flip tricks, C up does the grinding on rails, C right does grab tricks and C down does the ollies (jumps). Very easy to control but the the N64 buttons you gotta press down hard unlike the Dreamcast controller. Some of the other features in the game include create a skater and create a park. Create a skater has many different options but it isn't too much of a great thing because when you save a skater it will take up MANY blocks on your memory pak. The create a park feature is one of the greatest modes in the game, you have near control on everything in your "park" and you have hundreds of different ramps and objects to choose from. You can even create your own gaps! The sound effects in the game are great you can here the board roll down the pavement and the metal grinding against the trucks. Now there's the music. There are only 6 soundtracks on the N64 because of again, the cartiridge format and some of the songs are reduced. They are also not a very good quality sounding so I suggest you to turn the music off and turn on the stereo and listen to something else. The music soundtracks arent bad though it's just that the N64 makes it sound like crap, the Dreamcast version has the complte tracks in great quality and the songs are pretty good especially "No Cigar" by Millencolin. The multiplayer in this is also great you can do the normal trick attack where the winner is the person with the most points added up from tricks. There's Horse which is where you and the other player take turns doing tricks and you have to score higher than each others scores so you dont spell out horse or any other word you choose to put in there. Then there's Graffiti which is my favorite where you have to skate on many objects as possible and the person who skated on the most objects when the time is up wins. Overall this game is the greatest extreme sports game ever created to sum up. If you have a Dreamcast or PSone purchase it for those systems but N64 owners must get this.

Best tony hawk game ever
I bought this game not long ago.i also had underground.but when i played this i felt underground is so unrealistick in tricks.u can do like 1080 to like a primo kickflip out in underground.but in this its a lil bit harder to get to a manual from a trick.buy this game id give it a thousand million stars.LOL
get this gamne
way more realistic(trick wise)
awsome soundtrack(rage against the machine-gurilla radio and powerman 5000-when worlds collide and 4 more)
get this game
get this game
its better than the computer version and way better than Xbox version

Can't Stop Playing!!
OMG! This game is so freakin' fun! My brother owns the only N64 in the house, and I drive him crazy asking him to play this. It's so much fun. You can make your own levels, or just play the originals (which are great, I must add). If you don't have it, you're missing out!

great gamie
this is great try it.if you didnt like the 1 you will like this 1.try it.

NOTHING compared to the PS version!
I am a long time Nintendo fan. Even now, when I have a Playstation 2, and no Gamecube, I still like Nintendo more. So this review is not just a bias complaint about Nintendo vs. Playstation.

This version of THPS2 is terrible. Oh, yeah, it's tons of fun when you haven't played the Playstation version, but when you have, you realize just how pitifull this is. On PS, it's rated T, because they don't blurt out words like "hell" on songs. On Nintedno, It's rated E, so the whole family can enjoy censored versions of songs by Powerman 5000, Papa Roach & Rage Aganist the Machine. And another thing music wise: THEY DON'T EVEN PLAY THE WHOLE SONG! They cut out one of the choruses and the verses (this is an example), and just let it go from there. And the track doesn't go to the next track when it's done; it just plays over and over and over, to where you have to change it yourself every 3 listens. And it's not just the music. There's too much to say, so just play the PS version, PLEASE! ... Read more

Madden rocks !
When I got home fom a trip from Viet Nam.I tried to play but I can't get the crack. A year later I got the crack.When I played it was the best!I also won two Super Bowls.

great bargin
I hate wasting 50$ on a new video game. Patience pays off, this game is now just 10$ , an incredible deal! The owner mode which lets you manage so much with your team is very cool, but can be very addicting as well. My sole complaint is the manual is not in color. C'mon EA sports you are super rich, give us some color dammit!

nice
This game allows you to to make your own team and take them far into the playoffs. the name never under or overestamates the players abbilities. Its more for your money.

Madden 2004
Madden is a good game. The graphics are good, every thing is set up nicely. However, the franchise is very confusing if u don't have enough time 2 really learn about it...Even then it's still a little confusing.It is very realistic, as you can sign players, cut players. You can also create your own teams.

I would give this game a B+ to an A- grade.

TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I truly enjoyed Madden 2004. I am patiently waiting for the 2005, but I have had a ball the last year playing this game. The control you have over players and even the plays make for some fun filled hours. I strongly suggest that anyone who has not tried it to give it a go, the price is right and you will be ready for some football!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Those looking for a Saving Private Ryaninteractive will be pleased with this effort from the games division of Hollywood'sDreamWorks studio. Polished with the grit of great WWII films, Medal of Honorshines brightly, despite the graphic limitations of the PlayStation.

As U.S. secret service officer James Patterson, you must embark on highly dangerousmissions, sometimes in the trenches, sometimes undercover, but always alone and alwayseliminating the German Nazi threat. The Nazis are equipped with the same weapons asyou, and they know how to use them. Throw a grenade and watch soldiers scatter, orbetter yet kick a steel pineapple back in their direction before it blows.

Missions are divided into challenging--but never frustrating--levels that includeinfiltrating a U-boat pen, destroying a war train while disguised as a German officer, orpowering through a group of nasty Gestapo in a quaint French town. A mixture of stealthfighting and action movie bravado, using each with prudence is essential for successfullycompleting levels.

This game is suspenseful, in the way that a good page-turner keeps you up at night.You'll be playing until the end of the level, but when that comes, the briefing for the nextlevel is just too enticing to stop. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• The best first-person shooter for the PlayStation
• An engaging plot, even for non-history buffs
• Outstanding music and sound design

• Graphics get blurry when close up
• Replayability is low except in multiplayer mode
• Occasional polygon dropout can enable player to see through some walls

Features

• First-person shooter game in WWII setting
• Become U.S. secret service officer James Patterson
• Mission briefings in the style of old WWII newsreels
• 3-D gameplay and enemy AI
• For 1 player

BRAVO
I love this game. BRAVO well done. The only negative things I have to say is that I wish they allowed you to do more hand to hand combat or knife fighting and that I wish the game had more gadgets like binoculars and a map.

Simply the best PS shooter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EA has finally made a action/adventure game worth playing for the PS.In this game you will come across many different types of enemy soldiers through its 7 missions and 24 levals. There will be Wehrmacht light infantry, Gestopo police, snipers, and much more. The missions are well done and provide a felling that your watching a old WW2 film. The missions range from sobotageing a deadly U-boat to destroying a rail gun. The missions never get boreing and always are challengeing. The graphics are the best your going to get on the PS and the replay valu is much greater than that of the 007 games and most other shoot 'em up games.
This game is great and is worth buying for the PS.

boring predictable crap
I have one question. Can you play from the point of view of a german soldier? No you say? Then what in hell is the goddamn point??? If i can't be a mean, grizzled, ss seargant, or a tough fallschirmjager, blasting away at tom hanks looking g.i.'s with an mp-40 in both hands, then i don't want to be anything at all.

peace.

FUN TO PLAY!
The original "Medal of Honor" game is fun to play. Despite graphics that are cheezy by PS2 standards, gamers will find a thrilling experience! Grade: B+

one of the best
this has to be one of the best PS1 games around it is awesome the missions are all challenging and very fun and after you beat it you'll countinue to play it. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

When we first popped in Sega GT, we were a bit skeptical. Itdoesn't just resemble the layout of Gran Turismo for the PlayStation;it's almost identical to it, from earning licenses to having your own garage andstocking it with brand-name cars. But the more we played, the more we fell inlove with Sega GT's silky graphics that speed along with only theslightest blurring at night. The scenery is so distracting that most playerswill have to remember to keep their eyes on the road.

Usually, racing games can get pretty tiring, but Sega GT will hold mostplayers, mainly because there are so many licenses you can earn from the automanufacturers in the game, including Mazda, Suzuki, and other mostly Japaneseauto makers. One of the coolest features here allows you to create a car fromscratch and then see how it stacks up on the track--chances are your firstdesign won't do well.

A little more reflection and other effects would have better integrated the carswith their surroundings, and some star-studded songs sure would have been preferable to the game's generic soundtrack. --Robb GuidoPros:

• Much more absorbing than the average racing game
• Slick graphics will make players drool

• Generic soundtrack

Sega GT - RACE
Wow, this game is good! I just bought it at my local EB for 8 bucks. I brought it home and played it with my friend, and weplayed it. The cars steered out of control, and they seemed to have a magnetic attraction to the wall!

Eventually, I got used to it and mastered the game. The scenery is the best I've seen. I constantly find myself staring at themassive buildings, rocky canyons, instead of the road. Very great visuals, very slick.

The prize of this game is Championship mode. It is amazing. You can buy lots of licensed cars, tune them to perfection, then race them. The idea to get licenses in order to unlock new circuits can be good, but when you just underqualify by .20 seconds, boy it's frustrating. The single race mode is very nice, and adds to the replayability. A very cool part is the "carrozerria" (like a pizzeria), where you can build your own car. But you have to have licenses to do that by racing, blah blah, and you have no more than 3 customizations to build your own car.

The CPU doesn't offer that much of a challenge. For example, I was in a Cappucino in an Open race. The Cappucino had only 64 HP and around 600 CC. I raced a Ford Mustang, which has around 400 HP and 5000 HP, and he won by about 10 seconds. And another time I raced someone with the same exact car and I beat them by 5 seconds. Stick to Time Attack for a fun challenge.

All in all, a decent racing game. One of the best I've played since Gran Turismo 3. If you have a tight wallet and you want a good racing game that'll keep you occupied for 10-20 hours, pick this one up.

GARBAGE!
I bought Sega GT and got it all scrached up from invideo2002. I wish I can tell you how fun that game is, but I can't because of invideo2002 that gave me a full scrached CD. I'll just say how fun it is by looking on the screenshots.

mad as ...
i purchased this game twice.the first time the game wouldn't play.the second time i purchased it on december 17th and it hasn't even got here and it's january 3rd.i will never order anything from this site again.

Good, but no Gran Turismo
My original modern gaming console was a PlayStation, and one of the first games I bought for it was the original Gran Turismo. It was extremely popular, spawning Gran Turismo 2 and (on PlayStation2) Gran Turismo 3 - each far better than the previous game in the series.

Sega GT seems to be the DreamCast response to the ever-popular Gran Turismo series. For a first attempt at this type of ''driving simulation,'' this is an admirable effort... but there is still a long way to go.

On the very positive side, the license tests in Sega GT are VERY generous toward the player; whereas the Gran Turismo series sets very high standards, including keeping at least one wheel on the racing surface at all times and not permitting any contact with walls or barriers or other obstacles, the only requirement in the Sega GT license tests is that the player complete a lap at a given course or segment in the time posted. Another great point of Sega GT is the variety of courses available, from two drag strips to a high-speed course reminiscent of the Pennsylvania Turnpike through the tunnels of the Allegheny Mountains to a wintry course to several desert-based courses between tall rock cliffs. The ability for players to create their own cars (which requires A LOT of money) is a novel addition to a ''driving simulation,'' and there are specific licenses and races for which these Original Cars can only compete. Finally, the use of sponsors is great; for each race/series win, each sponsor pays a given amount of money, which can thus turn low-paying races into nice cash machines if a player can accumulate a lot of sponsors.

On the down side, Sega GT has some nice cars. but there are relatively few of them, especially compared to Gran Turismo 2. The navigation of the Car Shop to buy the cars (new and used cars are available) is a bit awkward. While there are a lot of tuning parts which can be purchased, there is little effect gained or lost in making adjustments. Finally, car control in general is awkward at best, especially with high-horsepower vehicles; many high-horsepower cars are simply impossible to drive at competitive speeds.

For those with young children, Sega GT will be good for the kids as well as the parents - especially since there are numerous pre-owned DreamCasts and associated games available (at least in the States) for fairly low prices. However, those looking for a true ''driving simulation'' would be much better served by acquiring Gran Turismo 2 (for PlayStation/PSOne) and/or Gran Turismo 3 (for PlayStation2).

130 great cars and more.
The best thing about this mostly arcade racing game is that I get to drive at night through the New York Streets. But there are 130 incredible cars to choose from including the Nissan Skyline. There are different classes of cars to choose from. There are Suzukis, Toyotas, Hondas, Fords, and many more and 13 courses, all reversable. You can also earn a chance of a garage if you pass a very hard driving test. This is a part simulation and part arcade game; you have to be experienced in both. Plus, your either the winner or loser, as the screen says it. The graphics are awesome, especially those of the obstacle. And it's also good on PC. So get yourself an active partner and start the race of your life! ... Read more

The creators of the original NFL Blitz arcade game have designed the new NFL Blitz 2002 to take advantage of the powerful GameCube platform. All of the 3-D player models, NFL stadiums, and over-the-top animations have been re-created, along with the team-specific plays and intense sound effects.

The new impact player option allows the gamer to edit the route or assignment of any play in the team's playbook. There's an all-new running game AI, and more than 1,500 brand-new catches, sticks, and hits, including some animations that were motion-captured using professional stuntmen swinging from rigging wires. Real player stats, abilities, attributes, and attitudes add detailed realism to the game. The enhanced Create-a-Player mode allows the user to not only select the player's height, weight, and position, but also the uniform, face, head size and type, size of pads, facemask, and more. The game features enormous 3-D player models, with bulging muscles and real-player faces.

The over-the-top gameplay features players leaping, soaring, and diving for passes; stiff-arming, bulldozing, and railroading would-be defenders; and passing with precision. Intuitive, fast-action, extreme-style controls allow for quick-response gameplay. The game is equipped with the original NFL Blitz point-'n'-pass system and icon passing. Dynamic camera angles capture all of the deep crossing routes and monster sticks by linebackers. ... Read more

FOOTBALL
Football must be the best sport ever. NFL Blitz brings Football out of its shell and makes it fun, funny, and perfect. Nfl blitz you can have late hits which you can body slam and butt slam too. It is awesome and is a must have for a football fan on GC.

A waste of my time
I'm going to be very terse with my review of this game. IT SUCKS!! Midway needs to find a new field, and I'm not playing find a new field. Maybe this could make me and others happy who dislike this item and used their good money for something that is more of use.

Best Blitz there will ever be.
This Blitz was a huge turning point in the series.It offered next Gen Graphics and gameplay.Blitz 20-03 is the same game but terribly plauged.There is an interception for every pass made.I AM NOT KIDDING.So if you're gonna buy a Blitz game, make it 20-02.

Better than Madden!
This is a great football game.Instead of having to play boring 11-on-10 football, this arcade style game brings a new twist: 8-on-8 football.Also, there are no penalties, making it fun to play.You can even jump on people after the play.Graphics and control are especially good.5 stars!

MUST HAVE
This game is a must have it is so funny you can put in infinate turbo and faster running. when u return the ball you can zig zag all across the field and make a huge mob of defensive guys chasing you. It is awesome when you do a 2 man blitz with a friend with infinate turbo and faster running you can make soo many sacks it makes you want to cry with laughter. I recommend this game for all who like football. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The first golf title for the Dreamcast, Tee Off is in the vein ofarcade-style golf games like the Hot Shots Golf series on thePlayStation. Players control big-headed, Japanese animation-style characters onvibrantly-colored 3-D courses. Shots are viewed from multiple cameraangles--including some mesmerizing aerial views--with the ball leaving a fading trailbehind it.

While Tee Off does require some basic golf knowledge, it uses astandardized control scheme which even those who've never played video golf willbe able to pick up on right away. In addition to customizable difficulty levels,Tee Off offers various modes of play, including gate ball (think croquetin cyberspace) and world tour, which rewards players' high scores by "unlocking"new characters and equipment.

Admittedly, Tee Off isn't for devotees of more simulation-oriented golftitles, as they'll probably pass it off as kiddie fare. However, casual videogolfers and those new to the armchair sport are in for one heck of a good timeon the links. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Highly addictive arcade-style gameplay
• Great replay value
• Gate ball (cybercroquet) mode

• Japanese to English language translation is weak at times
• May not appeal to fans of more simulation-oriented golf titles

Not bad.
If they had real characters, I would actually rate this a 5. The courses are extremely lifelike. There should have been some unlockable courses and some easier to lock players. I hate missing the red bar on the bottom, cause once you miss it, you lose a whole stroke. But playing it is all right. Though it's not the best golf game in the world, it deserves a look at.

It could be a bit more realistic!!
.... The 4 characters say the same phrases over and over and I never felt like using up my memory card to save the world tour and unlock other characters. It's not like I was gonna win, anyway. I must admit, though, the 5 courses are pretty good. Japan is easy. U.S.A. gets me in the bunker alot. Scotland has alot of precipitation variations. M y ball always goes into the red clay in Australia. And Africa has a large variety of fairways and obstacles. Gate ball isn't that great because the gates are always in the same exact spots. Other than the graphics and the 5 courses, this game could use some improvement.

Not for the serious golf fan
Tee Off is a fun game but diehard fans may find it disapointing.The game is based around fun and is easy to play and to get into.There are various different modes of play which improve the longitivity of the game, so you and your friends can battle it out to see who is the best.There is also an option to unlock new characters and new equipment though getting high scores.

Waste of time for a Golfer
I love golf games.Golden Tee 99 and 2000 are the greatest golf games out today.I think Tee-off may be the worst. If you are over the age of 10and like to play golf, don't buy this game.If you are prone to dreamingabout playing your dreamcast and can't wait to get home to play them, don'tbuy this game!The people at Dreamcast should have have sent this gameout to pasture when the original version was delivered.Do yourself afavor, buy a football or hockey game for now, and wait until Dreamcast putsout a real golf game.

Let's hit the greens!
This game is the best golf game that I have played on any platform.Some of the computer players are a little weak, but it makes it that muchbetter.

I have played this game for hours on end.The graphics are verywell done.I wish there was a better selection of players with betterskills, but that's life.Perhaps there will be a Tee-Off 2 orsomething..

I can recall many a night staying up and playing this withfriends to the wee hours of the morning.

If you are an armchair golfer,this title is for you! ... Read more

My favorite videogame!!!
I would like to start off saying that I am not a huge fan of videogames. I do not own an X-Box or Gamecube and find most games to be boring. However, I still have a Nintendo 64 system from back when I was younger. Out of the few games that I own, Namco Museum 64 is my favorite game. I was born back in a time when Atari was making it big and games like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Dig-Dug were the hottest games around. Playing Namco Museum deffinately brings back memories. The selection of games is great. You get to choose from - Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Pole Position, Galaga, and Galaxian. All the games are exactly like they were on the Atari gamesystem. Each game is extremely fun and challenging. In fact, I would even go as far as calling this game addicting.

Nintendo 64 has pretty much become obsolete today with X-Box and Gamecube. However, if you are not into the videogames that are around today, and are longing to play games from the 80's, then you should definately buy this game.

A solid 5 stars...

namaco museum
This is a wonderful and exciteing game who would have thought that we would be playing all of our favorite games on our tv sets .
This is really awsome and so realistic.

Memory Lane
I have this game and myself, my husband and our 10 year old daughter love to play this game. Of course, my daughter is very good at it. She plays against my husband and they try to beat each other's score. Its a great family game nite game.

Video Games Reviewer
Namco Museum for the N64 is a really good retro game. Individuals 25 years and older will remember these games well. For those individuals who are younger than 25, Namco Museum provides an opportunity to play some of the classic videogames that started the whole video game frenzy. Namco Museum consists of 5 games. Ms. Pac-Man, Galaxian, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Pole Position. Ms. Pac-Man everyone knows about. Galaxian and Galaga are Space Invader type games, Dig Dug is a unique digging and destroying enemies game, and Pole Position is the classic arcade steering wheel racing game. All games are great fun for a quick pick up and play. The lack of a battery save feature for high scores (reasoning for 4 stars) is sort of a disappointment, but writing scores down is not that tedious of an ordeal. Overall, Namco Museum is a great port of the arcade classics for a quick 5 minute game between class, meetings, or a lunch break, and is a good addition to everyone's N64 library.

Great revival of arcade classics.
The 6 games in this game pack were replicated perfectly, and appear just as they originally did in acades.In Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, the joystick doesn't work too well, but the control pad works fine.Whether you've enjoyed these games for years, or are just becomming aquanted with them, they are wonderful for everyone to enjoy. ...

This game sucks!!!
This game is way to hard!You dont get to fight at all.But there is this one part were this man will give you one of those things when you ask someone to shake your hand and they get shocked by the hand buzzer thats in your hand.Nobody shakes your hand when you ask them to on the game!!!It only works once on this man named Khan yhat wants to shake your hand before shooting you with his gun(He doesnt know you have a hand buzzer).Doent by this game!!!It really sucks!!!...

Great adventure game. Great GBA game.Good Fun
Broken Sword is a standard "adventure" game (eg. myst) delivered to the GBA and they've done a fine job of it (with a few small exceptions).

As adventure games go this one is pretty straight forward and doesn't require a mensa membership to make significant progress.The bulk of the tasks in the game are not too hard to figure out, yet there are a few stumpers in there as well.

Gameplay is clear.You can move the main character around the current screen and either interact with other characters, manipulate objects, or go to other screens.

The GBA rendering is nice.There are some dialog scenes which are easy to speed through if you wish although you occasionaly get critical information via dialog.There is one scene in which having the sound turned up might provide some value.Towards the end of the adventure, gameplay is not just puzzles but also reacting quickly to events.

Some dislikes:
- The game is good in that you are stuck in an area until to you solve that local puzzle.There is a bug in the game in which you can go to Spain before Syria which will cause you to get stuck in a scene without enough artifacts to get yourself out.
- You can keep multiple games running but you have to go through some gyrations to copy games between the 3 memory areas.

This is a good game to play and will definitely keep you entertained.It is easy enough to keep you engaged but hard enough to make you work for it.

i hate to rain on every1's parade but....
I didn't like this game as much as I thought I would. It was intresting enough but i beat it quickly with only a few problems(the thugs outside the hotel...and the hotel itself). Anyway it wasn't the worst i've played (if you've ever played mr.nuts you know what i mean). The graphics were great! I wasn't expecting that much on the graphic side. Anyways if you like games where you're fighting constantly then you won't like this game. Its nicely put together yet it wasn't as much fun as i thought. It requires a lot of thought; more than i wanted to put into it.

overall:
Graphics: 10/10
Gameplay: 7/10(no bugs:-) w/ little problems)
Fun:4/10
Storyline:9/10

in my opinion it was fair.

Marvolous, Magnificent, Superb!- and thats just for starters
This is one of the best games I've ever played, surely the best GBA game ever.You are "George Stobbard", an American vacationing in Paris when you wittnes a bomb go off in a cafe.The plot really picks up when you discover that ring of assasins are tied into this, and a whole bunch of other neat stuff like scrolls and ancient goblets come into the picture. It's like Indiana Jones meets Dick Tracy.

The background is gorgeous, all hand drawn, the commentary is funny and witty, (press "B" on objects, some comments can be really hilarious like on the seats in the church in Paris)The plot can be surprisingly tense, and suspenseful, esspecially when you discover you can die, so save often.

If you liked this game, I'd definately suggest the book "Saving the Queen" by William F. Buckley, its just as good, but our hero is with the CIA and deals with some good old fashioned "Cold War" stuff, instead of Knights of the round table.Even if you don't read much or dissagree with WFB's politics, PLEASE READ!!! You don't know what your missing.

You should DEFINANTLY buy this
this game is my favorite one out of all the ones I own (15) it has a great sense of mystery adventure and a bit of humor.worth the price buy this item!!! ... Read more

The best extreme-sports game ever gets even better in Tony Hawk's ProSkater 3. The elements that made the last two games a success are back:tight controls, deep trick system, a wide selection of skaters (including TonyHawk, Bucky Lasek, Rodney Mullen, Chad Muska, Elissa Steamer, and others), and aslick soundtrack (featuring the Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motorhead,KRS-One, Redman, and more). Adding to the already brilliant formula is a new trick,updated graphics, and Internet play.

In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, players were introduced to the manual--amove that greatly revolutionized the series' gameplay. This installmentintroduces the revert, and while it isn't as significant an addition as themanual, it does add another layer to the already deep trick system. The gamefeatures solid graphics, but a level of detail was sacrificed in order to makethe game's levels so large. There are a few frame skips and polygon clips, butthese occasions are rare and do not overshadow the stellar gameplay.

Career mode is as deep as ever, with eight objective-filled levels. In thissingle-player mode, players traverse their way through some brilliantly designedcourses to achieve high scores, find the letters to the word "skate," findhidden videotapes, and interact with level-specific objects. Two players canparticipate in the five multiplayer minigames, which include king of the hill,horse, and trick attack. Up to four players can join Internet or LAN gamesthrough the use of the PS2 Network Adapter or numerous USB devices. SupportedUSB Ethernet adapters include LinkSys EtherFast USB100TX, D-Link DSB-650TX, SMCEZNET-USB 2102, and SOHOware NUB100. Supported USB modems include Zoom FaxModem2985L, Pocket NetSurfer NMT00700, MultiTech MT5634ZBA, and ActiontecUSB56012-01CW. USB keyboards are also supported, enabling players to type trash online.

We tested Internet play using the LinkSys and a DSL modem; the action was verysmooth with no noticeable lag. On its own, this is a top-shelf title, butconsidering its Internet capabilities, there's no reason for fans of sports,action, and platform games not to own Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. This gamewill satisfy them all. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

• First Internet-capable PS2 game
• Tight, addictive, outstanding gameplay
• Gargantuan levels and plenty of objects to interact with

• Some minor graphics glitches

I absolutely love this game!
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is my favorite PS2 game currently in my posession. The graphics are great!

I also have the cheat codes, if anyone wants to defy all moral reason and use them. To unlock all sorts of neat players(Like The Demoness, the Neversoft Eyeball, Kelly Slater, and many more) type in "yohomies".

For those of you who have played THPS3 already, and gotten as far as or farther than Los Angeles, if you use The Demoness, you can temporarily shrink people in the game. When they jump out of your way as you skate by them, turn around and stare at them. Poof!

Another cheat is for everything. Simply enter in "backdoor" and you will have access to Perfect Rail,(You can't fall off when you grind) First Person Mode, and tons of other amazing features that make the game a little more fun and easier, so you can concentrate on making the goals. (You pause while skating and select Cheats to toggle them on and off.)

This is a wonderful game that will provide hours upon hours of enjoyable entertainment. It is certainly worth the money.

Excellentness
Pros
<Can play over and over again until the skin peels off your little fingers
<Unlike THUG (Tony Hawks UnderGround), this game is about skating (Tony Hawks PRO SKATER! Not Tony Hawks get off your skateboard and throw fireballs at each other)
Cons
<Some tricks take a flick of the hand to do and others you probably need an extra hand to do
<GLITCHES!!!!GLITCHES!!!! MORE OF THIS GAME IS GLITCHES THAN HALFPIPES!!!

The Greatest Game You'll Ever Get ( for $12.95)
If you dont have this game, buy it. Its $13 dollars, and plus, like, ok, you get to play in alot of levels like a cruise ship. Many places to grind and stuff, and plus, there is a level where you can play on the "street" called Los Angelas. I had this game for like 3 years and its good. its DEFINATLEY worth $13.

Its not as good as the new ones
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 is not fun after you have played Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4, Tony Hawks Underground or Tony Hawks Underground 2 because in the new ones your not timed untill you pick a goal. In Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 you timed from the begining and you have to do something in about 3 minutes. Unless you love Tony Hawk games dont buy this. Save your money.

Amazon.com Review

The Madden series is by far the most popular NFL console-gamefranchise in North America. It is the game of choice among many active andformer NFL players, and has been a mainstay on most gaming platforms for close toa decade. And this year's version for the PlayStation, Madden NFL 2001,is amazing--it's even better than the incredible Nintendo 64 version of the samename.

In terms of playability, EA Sports has added some nice new features. Players arerewarded with collectable in-game Madden Cards by performing certain tasks,which can be used to unlock secret game codes, players, stadiums, and legendaryNFL teams. Also, you can trade those cards with friends using the PlayStationmemory card. Enhancing the replayability of Madden NFL 2001 is a newtwo-minute drill feature that allows up to 10 players to compete for the highestscore.

The game does have a couple of trouble areas. The CPU play isn't all thatsynched with the gameplay, resulting in some very strange calls and plays. JohnMadden's commentary is stocked with only a few phrases, which are used adnauseam. While not perfect, the sound effects and crowd noises are stillpreferable to the whiny blips of the N64 version. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Collectable Madden Cards can be used to unlock secret game codes, players,stadiums, and teams
• New two-minute drill feature

• CPU sometimes makes very strange calls and plays
• Repetitive Madden phrases

It's ok but way too hard too figure out all of the details without the book.

Mad About Madden!
Madden NFL 2001 is an excellent football game.If you like football, and you like playing it as a video game, you'll love the best game in the league.The gameplay is better than its competitor, 989 Sports, and I feel I can get into the game more.No cheerleader pictures, like on NFL GameDay, so you can stick to football.The different modes (Practice, 2-Minute Drill, etc) and Madden Cards (reward system for completing various tasks) help make this game a powerhouse.You won't be disappointed with Madden.

Touchdown !
This game is the bomb! It has great plays, great graphics, and my favorite team (miami dolphins) is one of the best.The bad thing about this game is every once and a while it freezes. Than after a minute it comes back. But overall, this is a cool game.

one of the best games ive played
the game is great.the graphics arent that good but the good gameplay makes up for it.my favorite features are create a play,create a team and,Franchise mode.a hint in frachise mode is in the pre season chose the super bowl champs,runner up in the supper bowl,and chose the 3 divsion champs from the afc,or nfc so your rookie players gain experinceeven if the lose.any way this is a great game

MAJOR GLITCH RUINS BEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER PLAYED
FIRST OFF , I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT 90% OF THIS GAME IS EXCELLENT... NOW FOR THE OTHER 10%; THIS GAME HAS A VERY!!!! ANNOYING HABIT OF FREEZING UP WHILE PLAYING. I DONT MEAN "HERE AND THERE"; IT'S RATHER CONSISTANT..... LIKE EVERY 4TH QTR YOU'RE IN THE LEAD AND WHEN YOUR CPU OPPONENT SNAPS THE BALL THE QB HANGS ON TO THE BALL (WITHOUT SNAPPING) AND YOUR PLAYERS GO AFTER THE STATIONARY QB TO NO AVAIL... AT THIS POINT YOU CAN DO NOTHING TO "JAR" THE CPU TO CONTINUE... GAME OVER. YOU MUST QUIT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE(WHICH YOU WONT AFTER THIS HAPPENS 6 OR 7 TIMES ESPECIALLY IF YOURE PLAYING SEASON ). THE REAL EXCELLENCE OF THIS GAME WEARS OFF (UNFORTUNATELY) BECAUSE OF THESE "FREEZES"IN SHORT ,I WOULD REALLY LOVE THIS GAME IF IT DIDNT SCREW UP ALL THE TIME .... REALLY!!!!!!TOTAL BUMMER. ...
