Kooky game that succeeds despite being rough around edges
I didn't like this game much when I first started playing it. A few levels in the varied gameplay and utter wackiness won me over. The game has alot of personality,weird characters,and fast action. Graphics wise it's verydated looking,and soundwise the music is good and the sound effects arereally funny.A rough gem. ... Read more

Editorial Review

No question about it: Doom is one of the greatest games of all time. The blend of a simple, yet compelling mission, breakthrough 3-D interface, brilliant level and weapon design, and the effective use of fear made Doom an instant classic and launched a revolution in computer games. Born on the PC, this game has been ported to almost everything imaginable, and the PlayStation port is one of the best.

You play the part of a space marine who was stationed on a research station on the Martian moon, Phobos. Something went very wrong when the researchers opened an extradimensional portal. Now you're trapped far from home, grabbing guns and ammo to blast the demons. A one-man crusade, you shoot everything that moves--and, likewise, everything that moves tries to return the favor.

This was the game that launched the multiplayer craze on the PC, and the PlayStation version does its best to live up to Doom's reputation as the ultimate multiplayer deathmatch game.If you have two players, two PlayStations, and a link cable, you can enjoy some mad two-player mayhem.

A few words of caution: remember that Doom was the first wildly successful first-person shooter, and while its graphics were astounding for its era, it hasn't aged well. If you want the latest and greatest graphics, you'll be disappointed, but if you're into quality gaming and appreciate history, you'll still get a huge blast out of Doom. --John Cocking

Pros:

• Lots of mayhem
• Terror mounts as your ammo count drops

• Older graphics

After over a decade, Doom still stands the test of time
Doom(1995). The Playstation rerelease of the 1993 classic, and also including the expansion, Ultimate Doom, and its sequel, Doom II.

In this day in age, it's not that hard to take first person shooters for granted. They're EVERYWHERE in every shape and form on every system, literally clones of clones in a sense. What's even harder now is spotting the true gems that stand out within the genre. However, back in 1993 the FPS was unheard of commercially, and as difficult as it is to believe, the genre was a major revolution to gaming. Out of nowhere, the company iD Software showed up and introduced Wolfenstein 3D, the first real FPS. While it does stand as a gaming milestone of the early 90s, it didn't quite take off in the public. What did succeed however was their next project, which consisted of heavy weaponry, lengthy levels, demon slaughtering, BFG 9000s, and key collecting: the legendary Doom.

Anyone who first experienced the game back in its height of popularity knows that Doom wasn't just a game, but a phenomenon. It has always consumed gamers (and continues to do so) into its ever addicting gameplay without compromise. The premise here is really simple: A base on Mars is attacked by Demons through a portal from Hell, and so the higher ups send the whole military platoon in to take care of the situation while you stand guard at the portal entrance. Of course, everyone gets wiped out except for you and now it's your job to go in and eliminate every last one Hell's minions. Yeah, it's a dumb story and it was eventually improved drastically with Doom 3 many years later, but the one aspect that makes these older Doom games superior to Doom 3 is that its simplistic storyline allows you to pick up the game from the get-go. There's no 30-minute CG cutscenes to introduce the game to you. There's no hour-long tutorial demonstrating how to play the game. No, immediately upon starting you're thrusted right into gameplay, and quite honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. Doom is to 3D what Contra is to 2D gaming: an instant, immersive, and entertaining experience, albeit somewhat mindless.

Of course, most Halo and Unreal Tournament gamers of today will blindly slag off Doom simply because the game is old and because of its archaic graphics. Yes, the graphics do date this game a bit, plus its bloody, violent visuals look a lot more like a cartoon now than it did ten years ago, but people need to wake up and realize that a game is not fun solely based on how great the graphics are. The visuals are primitive, but you won't really care once you become immersed in the game.

Another common complaint about Doom from people now is that "all you do is shoot monsters and collect keys". True, newer FPSs offer different things to do, but people take Doom's simplicity merely at face value and they seem to miss the point. One thing that Doom has on most other FPS games is in its ingenious level designs. The creators really took the time to make its monsters, levels, and the overall experience memorable in a way that makes you want to come back for more. The differences between Doom and Doom II may only seem like cosmetic upgrades, but as the games go along, the mazes become more and more intricate and cleverly designed. Having story missions and goals to complete is fun, but not at the expense of completely non-linear gameplay. Doom never skimps out on this aspect.

Obviously the PC versions of the games are the best ones to play, but for those who happen to have a PS1/PS2 and caught onto Doom at a later date, this version will give you a real bang for your buck. With 2 games and an expansion, the whole package here offers about 60 levels, and 5 difficulty levels of nonstop action. One thing that is improved from the PC version is the sound. All the sound effects and monsters have improved noises, and all the droning level songs from the PC are replaced by an atmospheric, at times errie background soundtrack. As a Doom player for many years now, I believe this makes Doom that much better. Plus, the game feels very natural with a PS1 controller. Also, if you can ever find 2 PS1s, a link cable, 2 Doom games, and 2 TVs, the multiplayer option is well worth it.

While other FPS games after Doom added a few new things here and there, very few were able to capitalize on Doom's greatest strength, which is its design. In fact, the only other FPS series to really impress me besides Doom is Half-life. I know that this review sounds like a bunch of praise, but a lot of the popular complaints are really nothing but hot air. However, I do wish that you could save the game via memory card instead of having to copy down passwords. That's my only gripe though. I give Doom my highest recommendation to open gamers looking for a challenge and a way to kill time. It's one of my all-time favorite games. In time, you too will agree that there's nothing quite like taking out a room full of zombie soldiers with a single double-barrel shotgun blast, jumping out of your seat as a group of angry imps pops out of a "monster closet"(hahaha), and dodging ferocious attacks by Barons Of Hell while you find health and attempt to take them out with a shotgun.

Replayability: Very high. It's Doom. That's all that needs to be said.

Other recommendations:

-Doom 3 (PC)
-Half-life (PC)
-Half-life 2 (PC)
-Jedi-Knight: Dark Forces II (PC)

Doom - Playstation version
Doom for PS1 is a great game. Almost every level from Ultimate Doom & Doom II is here, plus some new levels never before seen on the PC. This game is dark, scary as hell, and can really get in your head. The soundtrack is totally different from the PC, and creates a very eerie atmosphere that few games ever do. The controls are easy to learn, that's a good thing. However, the only reason why I gave this game 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the graphics. Yes, as you may have already read, the graphics are a bit sluggish, especially when compared to the PC version. In my opinion, the best version of Doom is the PC version, period. Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom are the best video games ever, in MY opinion.

The best game of all time
I saw Doom for the first time about 10 years ago when a friend of mine was playing it on his computer....and up until that point, playing old 8-bit Nintendo games summed up a fun day for me. Don't get me wrong, and I'm not knocking some NES classics here at all by any means, but I must say, I fell in love with Doom the moment I saw it. Too bad the (...) was so hooked too that he wouldn't let me play.
So....fast forward to the release of the Playstation....and the eventual release of Doom. I bought Doom the first day it came out....and my Playstation wasn't turned off for 32 straight hours. I ABSOLUTELY love first-person shooter type games, and aside from Rise Of The Triad (the first FPS I ever played) Doom turned my world upside down.
This is, by far, the best video game on the planet....hell, in the universe.

The translation from the PC to the Playstation was flawless....hell, in my opinion, it's even better. You get all of the Doom and Doom II levels, and an additional 5 secret levels custom-made for the Playstation only. That's 59 total levels of mayhem....an immersive quest that you can NOT tear yourself away from.

Sure, by today's standards, the graphics are primitive and full of sprites and look a little blocky when you're up close....the enemies and items are modeled in 2D, meaning you can never look at their backside....and heck, you can't even jump....but....WHO CARES? This game is heaven, and even today, will still scare the (...) out of you....even if you memorized the location of every enemy in the game, knowing what to expect around every corner.
Don't believe me? Well try this situation on for size: You just cleared out a room full of Imps and Sergeant Zombies with every last round of shotgun ammo you had. You turn the next corner and hello....there's a Baron of Hell. *Change weapon to BFG9000* (...), you only have enough ammo for one shot. You aim, shoot, and barely hit the moron. He's still coming at you....and, as you cycle through your weapons....you notice only your pistol has ammo left. Oh (...). *runs*
That right there is the definition of fun....excitement....and horror....all making this game the number one video game of all time.

11 out of 10....and yes I did that on purpose....as Doom is more than perfect....

Doom and DIE in HELL
Based in the horrers of hell this was a scary game at the time of 1990. Now now there is a new adition of DOOM so called the 3'ed. Did you youst think that all those hell knigths,imps,barrens of hell,mancubus and the cyberdemon were scary well think again! DOOM 3 is set the scariest game of the and it looks like our little scary freinds have just grown up. Now on to DOOM. For the PS1 this was great grathics and the graphicks are goodeneth to see the detail on very small switchs this was 1990. The guns are great. the list, 1 fists,chainsaw,pistol,shotgun,super shotgun,chaingun,rocket launcher,plasmagun and the BFG 9000. Yuor first three wepons are a bit poor so Ied addvise you not to go up against the cyberdemon if you dont want to get yourself killed. The Game play is as good as you can get for some of the very early consle games. The basic story line is that your a milatary solder and you have to stop an invasion of demons from escaping the gates of HELL. If you die then earth is conkered by HELL. When you finish the game a sreen will apear a monster like voice will start speaking with the words apearing on the the sreen , after that nearly all yhe mosters in DOOM apear in turn and you get to shoot them with your shotgun this will go on forever until you go to the menu or type in a password. I hope all you doom fans out there have played the multiplayer deathmatch and copritive cos I havent bacause it wont connect or it just takes a load of time.

A Classic
This game broke new ground for the video game industry, and not just for the violence, but for the environments and gameplay. This PS1 game is Doom and Doom II bundled into one, and it's great. Playing it on a PSX or PS2 is just as good, if not better, than playing it on a PC. It's a blow to political correctness everywhere. ... Read more

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
I am writing this review for the Play Station 2 version of the game, and I know everyones is writing their reviews for regular playstation but the play station 2 version of the game is no where on amazon. Anyway, down to buisness. This game is great! The sound is the BEST! It sounds so realistic as if you were listening to a recorded battle. The graphics are great, the controls are great and everything is just great. My favorite gun is the M-60 machine gun. What I like to do is hold down the fire button (x) and keep tapping R1 so the target moves back and forth to the enemies until their dead. Its great!

great game!
This game is really interesting. The graphics are ok, and sometimes control is difficult, but the gameplay is awesome.The weapons are really cool, my favorite is the bazooka. You can either play one player, which is a lot of missions with certain objectives, or two player, which is a deathmatch.Great game.

This game is ok...
The graphics are kinda choppy the game play is ok and the storyline is pretty weak. The weapons are about the coolest part, and only having a two player multiplayer makes it lose a lot.Rent first.

Awesome and Incredible Game
The best Army Men Game ever Created.It has great graphics and great control.This is a must have!

Hopefully the PS2 version is better
My first impression of Sarge's Heroes 2 was 'well, the graphics[are not good] man'. Some of the gameplay ideas are cool, but I tend to turn the game off after 10 minutes of play. The levels are long and boring and it reminds me of games back in the early days. I may sound harsh, but you'll believe me when you play it. I can only hope for the PS2 version to have better levels. ... Read more

I need this game
I have always wanted to own the lion king game for my playstation and now i finally get the chance to own one and i cant wait until i actually get it but i have played it a few times on a different system but i have always loved the lion king and have also always wanted to get everything i could from the lion king. I hope i can get it so i can really tell yall what i think about it.
thank u so much, alaina

The BOMB!
I think this game is THE BOMB! I read some of the online reviews and he wanted to write my own.The game gets harder as the levels change. I have made it to the puzzle game. I loved the movie and now the game is one of my favorites.I play this game all the time and would recommend it!

Interesting...unique character design, but fuzzy plot.
The plot was a little uneven, as it hardly tied into the real movies. However, most of the scenes were fun, nonstop action with cool effects. :D I would reccomend this product to anyone who loves Lion King, video games, and action adventures.

KIDS LOVE THIS GAME
ALL FOUR OF MY KIDS LOVE THIS GAME VERY GREAT PRICE THAT I AM BUYING A SECOND ONE. ITS FREE SHPPING THANKS

Step down Scar!
When I got it I played it and finished in in two hours.
The levels are really fun, the mini games are exiting,
the movie clips make it even better.
But what disopointed me was the levels are short, and most
them are very easy,(once you get the hang of it).
But then again, there are some very chalanging levels too.
If you love the Lion King as much as I do you will really enjoy this game! ... Read more

Not the prettiest shooter, but so what?It's a blast!
With many PlayStation-owning shooter fans singing the praises of Einhander and R-Type Delta, this one has sort of been lost in the shuffle.That's a shame, because G Darius has lots to offer both hardcore and casual fans of the genre.

I fear that, since almost all of your foes in this game are robot aquatic creatures (sharks, crabs, sea horses, etc.), some people may dismiss it as "silly".In fact there is nothing silly or stupid about it.It's a fast-paced side-scroller with intensity to spare, and it boasts some of the most hectic bullet-dodging mayhem you'll ever encounter.

Your spacecraft has two weapons which are fired simultaneously:the standard, straightforward gun (horizontal) and grenades (vertical), both of which can be upgraded by snatching orbs from defeated enemies.What makes the game unique is the capture ball, a weapon you can launch at your foes to turn them into your sidekicks.They'll follow you loyally and attack whenever you fire, like the "options" in the Gradius series.There are quite a few different enemies you can do this to, and all of them have unique offensive capabilities.Some fire a very basic shot;some fire a "spread" shot;some hurl themselves at the opposition, causing damage by brazenly crashing into them at high speeds.

Speaking of speed, G Darius rips along at a pretty brisk pace,although the stages themselves are of satisfactory length.Minor slowdown sometimes occurs when you're doing battle with a boss and it launches about 100 bullets in your direction at once.In those rare cases, the slowdown is actually a blessing in disguise, because it affects everything on the screen, not just you.

Yes indeed, the screen can get mighty cluttered at times, but never to a hopelessly overwhelming degree.Unlike some shooters where staying alive is a strictly academic process of trial and error and moving into the right spot at the right time (cough, R-TYPES, cough), G Darius never "punishes" the player for an unwise maneuver by condemning him/her to an instant death.If your reflexes are sharp enough and you never release the rapid fire button, there is always at least a fashion model-slim chance that you'll be able to blast your way out of an extremely sticky situation and emerge victorious by the skin of your teeth.Your shields can be powered up much like your weapons can, a fact that brings new meaning to the term "life-saver".

Mind you, you can do more than dodge and peck away at the opposition to elude destruction at the hands (well, fins anyway) of a big, bullying barracuda or a cluster of kamikaze catfish.Foes bound to your service by the capture ball can be detonated if you want to take out any surrounding adversaries (or if you just plain get sick of having the stupid beasts follow you around).Even better, you can use them to power up your Alpha Beam, a weapon that will easily cut a swathe of carnage through standard enemies and lay some serious pain on the bosses as well.Don't start thinking you're omnipotent, though;each boss has a similar weapon (imaginitively titled the Beta Beam) and when yours meets theirs head-on, a struggle for supremacy ensues, with both beams growing in size and power until A) the duration of the beam expires, B) the battle concludes, or C) the entire screen gets filled by a glorious outpouring of blazing destruction originating from one side or the other.

The graphics here may not be terribly impressive but they get the job done.The designs of the enemies sometimes leave a bit to be desired (there's only so much you can do to make robotic fish look exciting, y'know?).The backgrounds are the game's strongest visual point, with some cool animation telling miniature stories while you're fighting for your life.There's one stage where a planet in the distance is doomed to be destroyed every time you play.Poor planet.My favorite stage has the ruins of a human city floating around;check out your ship's reflection in the mirrored windows of a skyscraper torn from its foundation, silently drifting through space.

The soundtrack has some forgettable fare with a 16-bit feel, but a few tracks are really striking.There's one (in the stage I just described) that can only be described as sounding "spacy" which is devoid of percussion and is so laid-back, it makes the on-screen chaos seem like some bizarre new age therapy.The final battle music is suitably catchy and adrenalized...you can also hear it when you first load the game, before pressing start, but obviously it won't have the same impact.And the "game over" tune is...dare I say it...beautiful!It almost makes it pleasant to end the game prematurely.

At the end of each stage, you'll have to choose between two adjacent stages to move on to.There are fifteen stages in all, and you'll have to beat five of them to win the game.Plus, each stage splits into an upper route and a lower route at the half-way point, and the boss will use different attacks against you depending on which route you take.Therefore, you'll have to play through the game quite a few times before you can truthfully say that you've seen it all.This, plus nine difficulty settings and the ability to adjust your reserve lives, credits, and capture balls makes for very high replay value for shooter fans of all skill levels.

If you still enjoy 2-D shooters, either passionately or casually, I cannot recommend this game enough, as long as you're prepared to PLAY it rather than just look at it.Whatever it lacks in graphic intensity, it more than makes up for with the IMPORTANT kind of intensity, and that's in the gameplay department.I've had this game for several years and I can't imagine it growing tiresome anytime soon.

Good game for money.
This is a good game for the money when you compare it to Gradius III & IV for the PS2. I like this game because you can sit down and play very quickly. It doesn't take long to learn what to do or to get started. You can take different paths through the game to mix things up and there is a vs. Boss option that allows you to just fight the bosses. It is a pretty simple side shooter, but it keeps me coming back because it's fun to play.

Instead of buying Gradius III & IV for PS2 (if you have one), you could buy this and another game for the same money. G Darius is much better than Gradius III & IV even though it was created for the PS1.

P.S. if you can't find it - try Funcoland

Not Worth It ! ! !
I have this game and it is pretty good shooter game but doesn't have any action. The words are blurry so you can't see the text. It has good graphics but the gameplay lacks action and it doesn't hook you on to it to keep you playing it. The weapons are pretty cool but overall the game is worth 2 stars. :)

A good shooter for the Playstation
G. Darius is a side scrolling 1 or 2 player shooter in the tradition of Gradius and R-Type.It uses polygons to form the characters and backrounds, and features an innovative new power up system that allows you to capture your enemies and use them as helpers.The great thing about the capture feature is that you can capture almost any enemy...even mini-bosses!G. Darius is of decent length and also has multiple paths so you don't have to play through the same levels each time, adding variety and replay value.There are a few factors which hinder it from perfection, though...like the drab colors in some areas, flat textures on some enemies, and occasional slowdown.Other than that, I believe G. Darius is a worthy addition to any shooting game fan's library. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Fully licensed by the National Lacrosse League, BlastLacrosse is the first and only lacrosse game for the PlayStation.All nine teams--complete with official uniforms and rosters--from thisindoor lacrosse league are in the game. The gameplay is heavilyinfluenced by the NFL Blitz series, known for its fast-pacedarcade-style action. Teams get hot after scoring three goals in a row, givingthem an advantage until they're shut down. Also similar are thedramatic comebacks and lead changes that are a regular part of thegame.

Players will react strongly to Scott Farrell's commentary. Some willlove his frequent one-liners and comedic timing, while others will hateit. There will be no argument over the game's shoddy graphics, however.The players are extremely blocky and lack detail. The game's controlsare a mixed bag. While running, passing, and checking are fairlysmooth, controlling a player's shot can be challenging.

Technically and aesthetically Blast Lacrosse is an average gameat best. However, it offers the unique experience of a novel sport.Gamers looking for something different will want to consider thistitle. No other game will let you play out your dream of becoming aRochester Knighthawk. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

• An original experience
• Frenetic gameplay
• Unique commentary

• Poor graphics
• Imprecise shooting
• Season mode is limited

its ok
this game is like a 1990 arcade game pretty much.its fun too play with friends and to laugh at, but it [is really bad].The reason i give it 3 stars is cause its the first lax game, and everyone knew it was gonna [be bad].so get it for the winter when you cant actually play lax, and just have some fun with it.

Where is the monster mesh with a titan warrior shaft?
Come on this game didn't go big dawg. Do not by this game cause its a fool. First all the lacrosse sticks don't look real. I mean look at the cover who would be able to cradle a ball in taht small of pocket. Also, they should have college teams to cause they are the shizzle. Also, I think they should have made real lax pads made my real companies. Like the shaft saying stx kind of like how they have in tony hawk 3. Take advise from me and stick with nhl 99 or 98 for sega saturn cause this game remind isn't even close to those games

BLAST LACROSSE IS AWESOME!!!
THIS GAME IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!WITH HIGH PUMPING ADDITUDE!!!IT HAS SEASON PLAY AND ALL 9 NLL TEAMS!THIS GAME WOULD PROBABLY BEST SUIT A DIE-HARD LACROSSE FAN!!!

SO GET READY FOR SOME MAJOR ACTION!!!

BUY IT!...
Alright, I think this game is AWESOME!...It's almost exaxtly like real indoor lacrosse. And i bet ya that if enough are sold, they might do a outdoor one. They could make it a little more realistic though. I mean make it so you can make whatever shot you want. Like a elevator or any kind of crank. Also, some better graficts would be better. But this game is so cool outside of those few little details. Just to say im 14 and have been playing for 4 years, all seasons exept summer.PLEASE BUY THE GAME...

Time to Update
Yo this game could be off the chain with all the new gamin technology out.Put some cats on the Blast 2 project for PS2 and you'd have a top-selling game.Lax is growing in the US and the people with Playstation should take advantage of it. Also, they should put more research into the game cause they left out some really important parts of the game, like dodging.This game could have a lot of potential. ... Read more

OKAYAVERAGE.
it is fairly good just they should of added akuma, cammy, dan, sodom,birdie and the rest of alpha characters. the only complaint is that the arcade mode is cheap you only get to fight a handfull of people with 2 boring bonus stages. and finally when you defeated bison there is no endings. but the graphics are great the new characters they added i like some of them such as area, sharon, pullum, hey come on i'm a guy i will only like the girls. great game a must buy!

Good but could had been better
When I bought it I was sure about three things,that this new sequel to EX Plus Alpha would have better graphic,cooler attacks and brand new characters.Well,all of these were true but still this game doesn't compare to the original.First of all the Arcade mode is cheap and the bonus games are boring.You'll fight only 5 characters(Garuda,Sagat and Bison not included).As some reviewer said before me,it's just a fighting game without a storyline which makes it good only to spend a good time.Some of the good but few things are that you'll have the chance of getting hidden characters just as the first game and you can do multiple combos in a fight even though they are harder to execute.Some of the new but good fighters from EX Plus Alpha are missing or were substituted by new characters that looks just like them.The most notable is Blame Dame who was substituted by Sharon and both uses almost the same fighting techniques.This game in step of being a continuation is more like a repetition of EX Alpha.Some characters still do their job like Pullum and C.Jack but others lost their bright specially classic fighters like Chun-Li and Vega.All I got to say is that if you liked the first you'll enjoy this one otherwise you'll get bored easily after the first time you play it.

Good but not great
I think the major flaw with this game is that there is no story.This does make things kind of bland. I remember the original Street Fighter II being a world tournament with people flying around the globe. It was thin, but it was something. This is an okay game, but there's just no excitement somehow.

I thought the effects were terrible until I got a new TV, and then the colors came out better. I do like the training mode, where you have to do certain attacks. They start out with some basic stuff, and then progress to things that you would never do in a fight, but isn't easy to do either. And loading time is painful. Even for playstation. Do note however, that it loads alot faster if you run this on a PS2.

No as good a Turbo
The game loads slower than useal and most of the fighters use weapans witch if you know Street Fighter well it takes away the good name from it.

Best feature: make your own films
I'm keeping this short and sweet:SF EX2 Plus is not the best Street Fighter game out there, but it has several pros and cons:

PROS:
*With the Director feature, you can make your own movies.Most of the standard characters are there: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Sagat, Dhalsim, Zangief, Vega, and Bison.
*Barrel Mode is where you choose a fighter to destroy as many barrels as possible.Control is difficult, but the fun is still there.I got my best score (200,000 plus) with Chun-Li.
*Bison has NO 70% damage moves.He's still deadly any how.
*Chun-Li kicks enemy but with her Spinning Bird Kick and Guile's moves are much easier to execute.

CONS:
* NO Sakura, Akuma, Cammy, or Dan
* Ryu's and Ken's hurricane kicks are a bit harder to execute
* You'll need some patience on loading times
* Only Chun-Li and Dhalsim has taunts, and can be difficult to execute; which that and other gestures should have been added to Director Mode ... Read more

Cute, Charming, and Cool, But Kinda Cruddy
Okay, first things first. It's cute, charming, cool, yet cruddy. Hello!? Why didn't K.A. make the ... thing? It's almost like a completely different series- you can't morph what you wanna morph. I love cats, and Rachel is my fave Animorph (no duh), so I beg my mom to get it for me so I can play it. I wanted to morph Fluffer McKitty. But NOOO, you ...CANT! AARGH! But still, nice try! Coins? Hit-and-run technique? Look-at-me-I-have-to-morph-a-bear-or-some-other-not-so-cute-thing? I still loved it, and I'm still an Animorphs freak, but why's it so.........I dunno........weird? Hint: Make a different game. Better graphics. Better plot. Better GAME!

Rachel, Jake, Cassie, and Marco really come to life!
It's great.Although it is a platform game that is basically side-scrolling (very little 3-D action) it is really fun.But I guess you have to be a fan of the best-selling book series to get into it and understand it.But it's great.The voices are great and the animation is great.They got the morphs down packed and K.A. Applegate should be proud.I love the game.

Wake me up when its over
This game is BAD.No kidding, no mincing words.The graphics are annoying when there is a fight sequence and all you do is wander around collecting coins (hello...haven't we moved beyond that by now?) What a waste of time.Don't even consider buying this lame game.

It's BAD.
It's "bad" plain and simple. When I got into a fight, the screen who shake, and I wouldn't see what was going on. It doesn't fllow along with the rules of the book. Like the way morphing looks. And the characters are always human, when in the book do they let their enemies see them as humans? ( This is before the yeerks find out their kids. ) Four of of six playable characters. I am sickened... Bad graphics. Marco has a "Rino" for a morph! C'mon! I'm so sickened, DO NOT BUY!!!!

Animorphs
First of all I love the Animorphs books. Though I didn't like the way it ended. I read all of them. I did love all the action and comedy that was told very well. I loved the fact that there was going to be a video game. I was worried that it would be like the TV show which I thought was terrible. It thankfully was like the books. Great animation in the movies. They showed what before I could only see in my mind. It also showed hork-bajar tougher than andalites fixing a problem with the books. The levels had good graphics. They were fun and chalenging with lots of action. Now for the problems with the game. You didn't get to play as Ax or Tobias. There were not enough levels and they all took place on earth. Many of the aliens you fight never were in the books and made no sense. The biggest problem is you can't morph at will. The game morphs for you. Why are you always jumping around as a human instead of morphing bird. ... Read more

its alright
this game is pretty good. the only thing i dont like is the modes that u fish in. the tournaments ... because u dont really get a chance to fish because its based on a timer and once its up u weight your 3 biggest fish. another bad thing is that u dont get to go where u want in a boat, u just pick a fishing scene and cast. another small con is when your reeling a fish in, it constantly goes back and forth to the underwater view at which u cant reel in and u just have to watch, that really gets old after a while. so does the game. youll like it wen u get it but it gets old and boring.

good-easy game
This was a good game, I have seen alot better from the fishing and hunting areas but this was still a good game. This game was challenging yet easy. it was challenging when you got a big fish on and yet it was easy tobeat.there is a few supprises on the way too. If you are a big bassfisherman I would get this if not I would stay away

Not Worth It
This game is not worth buying. Rent it first, other fishing games for Playstation are much better. It is annoying with it's continue screen that comes up while your fishing like an arcade game. It's also very strenuouson your finger, when trying to reel a fish in you have to press circle or xabout fifty times instead of being able to hold the button down.

Great game play...very short game...too easy to beat...
This game is a great game for everyone to play...angler or not...everyone seems to love the control...best yet...the graphics...great...and the commentary.The only draw back to the game is its lack of depth...very fewplaces to fish...and really easy to finish the game...in about two hours. This is not a game for the serious fishing enthusiast...if you are lookingfor fun...for a bunch of people...this is a really great game! ... Read more

blade bad ass game
its the best game i ever play

Great game.
If you're a fan of the comic books or even the movies you should love this game. There are a wide variety of enemies which include humans, zombies, and of course vampires. There's also a good selection of weapons and ammo. Different bullets cause different damage to enemies like silver hurts vampires the most. The controls are a little difficult at first but I got used to them pretty fast. Overall this game is really fun and has a good story line.

Blade
This game is awesome,not to mention great graphics,blade is the coolest action packed adventure game that i have ever played!

it was fair....
this game basicly reminds me of Syphon Filter, just a shoot em' up type of game, nothing great about it, I was dis-appointed it wasnt as appealing as the movie was, not to mention, I don't know if I just got a defective copy but, why wasn't blades vehicles added, like uhm, that 1968 black Dodge Charger of his or the Honda CBR like motorcycle added to thi game? also one thing I noticed but it took me a second, if you noticed how everything seems so dark during the gameplay and couldnt understand why, it's because he wears sunglasses :-p

There is no life in Blade
Blade isn't that old a game but it is amazing how uninteresting and uninnovative it is as a game. You expect nowadays that when a game is of the Lara Croft, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake genre that there would be at least a minimum of 1 new interesting feature in the game. E.g. in Spiderman you get to swing from building to building. Very cool. But in Blade you walk, you kill things. That's it. It never really gets more interesting. But you'd expect that at a minimum, Blade's character would have some kind of attitude! Nope- nadda! He's silent as a mouse until he dies. In fact even the zombies have more to say than he does.

Also at the beginning of the game all you get is a pistol. Pardon me for being ignorant but isn't he called BLADE! ... Read more

Too hard; suboptimal graphics
We purchased this game for our 4 year old and found the game to be too difficult.Not that the tasks were difficult but performing them were.As an adult, we couldn't get passed the first level.We also found the graphics to be weak and resemble early computer games.

"Great Fun!" -Straight from the Source
As an employee of the company that made this game I am inclined to lie to you and say that this game is the greatest game in the world. I'm not going do that. But this game is great fun for children ages 9 or less and is a really easy game to play. In Land Before Time I was really impressed with the entertainment and the quality gameplay I received even though the game is meant for children. The game possesses cartoon graphics and cute vocal interactions between characters. The levels are well thought out and the game is truly fun to play. The control could be a bit more fluid but the game is still very enjoyable. If you are looking for a game that your children will enjoy and that isn't full of blood and violence buy this game. ...

A Fair Fighting Game
This game is ultimately a good game...but has certain points in the game that I don't think it deserves to be given the remaining points that Dragonball Z Budokai stands. First off all the fighting is overall fun most of the time, and jumping around and whacking people all around the arena like a ping-pong ball can be made to your enjoyment. Plus the secret characters are pretty good, but nothing to dwadle about. First of all Psylocke isn't an overall great character, and the Juggernaut is pretty impressive but not really a fun character to play. Using cheat codes and getting characters which you activate by pressing buttons like Spider-Man and Professer X, but don't hope too much on this game. The aerial combat battles where you're litterally spinning around in the air is fun and if you gather the fun and you smack someone up into the air and jump up and deliver a projectile attack or whack him into the ground [Preferrably Forge] it can be made into a nice game.

I fall in love all over agen
And I thought that games couldnt get better. Those x-men keep pulling me in. graphically, the game hasnt really improved abit. Still no story or movies. Oh well. Still a great game.There are way more characters in this game then there were in the frist one including profeser x!He is cool.

Could've been better
Apparently its "Marvelent" on the PS1, since this is one of two superhero themed seqoels to grace Sony's little white workhorse (SpiderMan 2 is the other). Unfortunatly, X-Men 2 is a bit of a letdown. Granted, the first game wasn't all that good either, but it was a pretty good fighting game considering the fact it was done on the PS1. This time however the game feels as though it was rushed out the door in order to capitalize on the PS1's dwindling consumer base. Most franchises at this point are going to next-gen systems, why didn't this? Graphically the game looks identical to the first (which was pretty damn good), but one would expect some sort of enhancements for the sequel (other than just new secret characters). As far as gameplay goes, this game isn't as nearly as technical as SF3 Third Strike. That's fine though, the original wasn't a hardcore fighting game either. It may appeal to hardcore X-Men fans, but most will want to rent first,and I think it's hardly worth that.

Sweet!!!
I first played this game it was a demo I played once I could not stop I MADE all my friends cryMy favorite charaters are havok, nightcrawler, cyclops, of course you can not play all the charaters on the demobut i had fun anyway i can not wait till i Get the real gamethe game has a aray of moves, fighters, and 6 new arenas, *i have to run* bye*bye !!!:}

P.S. I Reccomend This game for any gamer beginner or Expret

A LOT BETTER THAN THE FIRST
This game has everything that was missing from the first one. The addition of arial combat is what makes the game more exciting. After plating XMA2, the first one seems primative. Beast, who I believe is the best fighter on the game, is tight.
The combos are cool. Two of the four hidden characters on this
game are even better than the originals. Spider-man and Psylocke are the two that stand out the most. I don't like to brag but I
believe no one can touch me in this game. Overall I recommend
this game to anyone who loves fast-paced action, combos, combos,
and more combos. ... Read more

Playing MonsterSeed
I'm reviewing RPG, Adventure and Strategy games, this game is a mixture between Jade Cocoon and Final Fantasy 7.

In this game you play the role of a character named Daniel,you're somebody called a Ruler,you can collect "seeds" and hatch and mix in "solutions" to make stronger monsters.

This game was good because you can make your own monsters and carry as many as you want.It was also good because the game always has something good or bad happening.

If they made it to where you cant get "deformed" monsters there would be a better variety of monsters.What would also make it better would be to make more "seeds".

People who like Adveture,Drama,and making your own Monsters will like this game.

wow, this game is hella cool
hmmm... good game. If you liked Dragon Warrior Monsters, Final Fantasy Tactics, or Dragon Seed (no relation), you'll love it. This game incorperates a monster hatching system like DWM and one of the best battle systems ever, the FFT/Tactics Ogre system. The translation is terrible, but it doesnt affect the game too much, and adds a few laughs to generally grim gameplay. The fights are very grim, as anyone who falls and is not raised immediatly says a few final word and then dies, even though the fighting is presented as a sport in the arena. Plenty of cool looking beasties to look as as well as some cutsie ones to stomp on. Buy it.

short but loads of fun
I was able to beat monster seed in two weeks(along time for me).
No I am not saying that this game is hard or any thhing but it was fun to get new seed and hach them.
This game should have been a little longer (around three disks).

Still I would sugest this game to any RPG fan.

I hated this game!
This game was horrible. If you want somthing like final fantasy or dragon warrior monsters this is not the game for you. How the main character kept saying"Ora Ora Ora" got very annoying. The graphics stunk and so did the storyline.It is not worth your money. I would not reccomend this game to anyone.

A gamer in MN
I think Monster Seed is a VERY cool game. .... If you're a graphics nut, than you won't want to go for this game.It has very poor graphics, i.e. the people have no noses, but the cinematics scene in the beginning is VERY impressive.The battle system is easy to get used to, but the "ENCOUNTER: Your Start" gets old pretty quick.All in all, a good game. ...

Editorial Review

Few racing games for the PlayStation can approach Need forSpeed III: Hot Pursuit in terms of car selection, track layout, andsheer fun. Combine the game's quality with the fact that it was addedto the PlayStation's bargain Greatest Hits collection, and youhave a title that deserves to be in the library of any racing fan.

Hot Pursuit gets its name from our favorite mode of gameplay, inwhich players try to exceed the reach of the long arm of the law bygreatly exceeding the speed limit. The ultimate goal is to beat youropponent to the finish line, but usually it's hard enough just dodgingoncoming traffic, swerving around police roadblocks (complete withspike strips), and trying to keep pursuit vehicles from slamming youoff the road. It's nearly as fun to watch replays as it is to race, andwe've only discussed one of the game's five types of play. Thisdiverse, fast-paced racer is definitely a keeper. --T. ByrlBaker

Pros:

• Nearly perfect arcade racing action
• Nice graphics, special effects, and sounds

• Some modes of play are incredibly difficult
• Can't play as the police

Features

• Fast paced arcade racing game
• Use radar, dispatchers, and roadblocks to track down speeders
• Race on 8 challenging tracks
• Hot pursuit on both sides of the law, including being tracked by the chopper
• For 1 or 2 players

AWSOME GAME EVER!
This is a very fun game for my Play Station. I was able to play my new game in the car while we were going home. 3D graphics
are great for the system. So race this new game on your TV or
using a LCD screen to connect to your console. A must by game.

Totally Awsome
I think this Game is Excellent! It's even better with Gameshark Pro. With Gameshark Pro you can open more tracks to run on. My personal Favorite is "The Room".

Best Need For Speed yet....
Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is the best one of the Need For Speed series yet. You can now race in a new mode "Hot Pursuit" where you run from the cops while still racing apponents. You can now race in awesome cars like Ferrarri's, Diablo SV's, and The El Nino.

Awesome new 3D tracks like:
Hometown
Redrock Ridge
Atlantica
Rocky Pass
Country Woods
Lost Canyons
Aquatica
The Summit
Empire City

Editorial Review

The critically acclaimed Ace Combat series has long beenknown as the best way to get your flying kicks on the PlayStation, soit is no surprise that Ace Combat 3 takes things to new heightsin terms of terrific visuals and overall gameplay.

The standard mission design of previous games in the series remainsintact, giving players complete control over their aircraft as they ziparound in a fully 3-D environment. There are plenty of fun planes tofly this time around, from agile superfighters to lumbering bombers.Their maneuverability has been toned down from previous games in theseries, which makes lining up targets more of a challenge, but itbecomes second nature with a little practice.

Don't be intimidated by some of the fancy moves available to thrill-seekingflyers here. After all, what's the worst that can happen whenyou decide to risk a daring loop and roll? The truth is that AceCombat 3 is ultimately more about pyrotechnics and fast action thanabout realistic flight physics. Ace Combat 3 isn't the leap intechnology over its predecessor that we expected, but it's still agreat way to satisfy your urges to fly the unfriendly skies. --T.Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Much-improved graphics
• Plenty of planes and missions to fly

• Linear gameplay isn't quite as compelling or replayable as that inAce Combat 2

Features

• 36 furious missions
• 3-D virtual cockpit
• For 1 player
• The #1-selling Action/Flying Series on the PlayStation game console
• 22 all new flyable aircraft

Horrible! Hard! Don't Buy This!
BORING! This is a hard and stupid game. And it's title AceCombat03: Electrosphere...What's Electrosphere? When I read the other reviews it said that the Japanesse version told you about Electrosphere.The Japanesse AND the Americans should be able to have the better game. Namco made it hard to play because of it's BAD graphics. This is a tottaly stupid game. The planes are not that realistic and replay is very bad. When a plane explodes you can see it all choppy. The little missile lanching thing in the mountains on Mission 2 is weird and hard to escape and destroy. The lock-on is HORRIBLE! The squares surronding the plane are huge and bigger then the plane itself. ... They have too much missile lanchers and makes it nearly impossible. When you complete a objective it makes more targets for you to destory. When you fly where they where before you complete the objective it is not there...it's bare ground. ...P>Rating AceCombat03: Electrosphere

Graphics 2/10
Realistic Controls 9/10*
Mission Difficulty 10/10
Realistic Enviorment 0/10~
Realistic Sound 1/10

*There is also a EASY MODE for the controls.
~Realistic Enviorment includes Explosians, Buildings etc.

Not quite...
If you are going for a good flight-sim than turn elsewhere. If you want a good flight-shooter than this is for you, almost.
This game is just meaningless shoot this and then blow this up. Every mission plays almost the same. I was bored out of my mind very quickly but forced myself to play thinking that Namco could not have ... up so bad. Just one more step over the hill and then it's all clear. Nope. Do yourself a favor and find yourself a copy of Ace Combat 2 instead. At least Namco cleared it's name with Ace Combat 4. Get either 2 or 4 and don't bother with 3.

The best game ever.
The reason this game is so cool is because all of the Ace Combat games are good but this one takes the cake with mind blowing graphics and great detail... This thing takes the cake in strategy as well as excitement and if you get one game that is the second most recent game, it should be Ace Combat 3

Most impressive game I have played!
Considering I got a used copy for (dollar amount) I am thrilled with it. The graphics are excellent, the sound effects authentic, the electronic music score outstanding, and this game is an overall 9.5!! I never played any of the previous Ace Combat games, so I can't say how much of an improvement this one is. Check it out!

A Gutted Version of a Namco Masterpiece
Now,I've been playing the Air/Ace Combat series since I got my hands on a PSX.2 continues to juice me up even today.When I first heard Ace Combat 3 was being made,I stormed over to media sections for it.I was in complete awe of the anime scenes and complex story of the Japanese version,spanning 2 disks.Seeing how it took Namco quite some time to bring it over to our American shores,I thought they were taking extra time to dub it w/ great american voice talents.Instead,I got the product of reckless slashing.
Ace Combat 3:Electrosphere maintains little if none of its increadible cinematic elements,now spannng only 1 disk.W/ the loss of its great story,the new storyline seems incomplete,confusing,and outright boring.What in the he!! is an electrosphere,anyway?One will never know unless they take a look at the game's stunning Japanese counterpart.The HUD has been redisgned in an odd and unapeeling way,as some instruments have been cut,leaving u blind to their functions.I will admit though:The graphics of this game are breath taking.AWSOME afternoon water affects can be seen in the 1st sortie of the game.The jet models,from the g-pulling bad boys we have now a-days to the awkward yet sexy designs of the futuristic fighters have no rival on a 32 bit console.The soundtrack can have mixed responses.While some are pretty well balanced Japanese dance tunes,the other slow electronica pieces can EASILY put you to sleep in the middle of flying.Any of you wanting another Top Gun style soundtrack found in the previous games,your prayers have not been answered.Just turn it off and slap "Danger Zone" into ur player.Anime fans,however,may find a few of the tracks extremly driving.Many start up slow,but they can kick it up later on.You also now have the ability of selecting numurous types of missles,guns,bombs,and even laser cannons depending on what your missions call for.The plane's abilities,though,have been altered for the worst.You no longer purchase your own aircraft,nor are you awarded $ at all in your missions.Instead,you are given aircraft depending on yur performance per mission,which can be very frusterating in some missions.No more wingmen are availible,however in about all of 3[(out of 36)(Its Japanese original had 52,based on 4 different alliances)] missions u are given a buddy to turn and burn w/.Those people would have much more meaning had the plot been left undamaged...Mid air refueling has been added to the game,buts its seldom seen.Plus,all landings & such can be automatically avoided by pressing the "Autopilot" button.In dogfights,your enemies are either piloted by a senior or by a steroided air god,as seen in the last missions.You have the ability to look around your canopy for enemies now,but anyone skiled enough in using their radar has no need for this.Aircraft wise,my biggest complaints:The F-22 has lost its dominance(although it is 47 years old in the story...)Stealth jets aren't stealth,AND THERE'S NO F-14!!!
With that being said,Ace Combat 3 is a beatiful,yet extremly dissapointing game for any follower of the series.Import the JPN version,play more Ace Combat 2,an increadible game in itself,or wait a couple more weeks for Ace Combat 4:Shattred Skies,availible for the PS2 late october 2001,which if unscrathced(or even if snipped a little)will be the DEFINANT cosole flight sim.Just dont waste a wallet full of $ on this,for it's truley a "Crash & burn,huh Mav?" ...

Editorial Review

Sony delivers one of the best-looking, best-playing rally cargames for the PlayStation with the Codemasters-developed Colin McRaeRally.

Players must pick from 11 world rally cars and play for the best timeson 48 courses in 8 countries, including New Zealand, Greece, and theUnited Kingdom. Racers encounter mud, snow, and gravel--all of whichcollects on cars as each race goes on. The elements can also inflictdamage on your vehicle, which adds to the challenge.

A British codriver guides players through runs, while the rally schoolcan help beginners with their skills. There's even a two-player optionthat can be used with single rally, championship, and time-trialmodes.

Control in this game is great, despite the varying track surfaces andweather conditions, and players even have to manage courses at night.Luckily, gear ratios, tires, brakes, and suspension can be modified tosuit any and all changes. While we won't go as far as to say this gamebeats the classic Gran Turismo, we do believe that McRaeultimately gives GT a run for the money. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Amazing weather and damage effects
• Great audio and controls

• Cars race against the clock, but not each other

The Best Rally Racing Game!!
The best game for playstation! I play it so much that I have to limit my playing to make certain that I don't get bored with it! Really I doubt you can get bored with such a fun game! You should by the Colin Mcrae 2 after about a month of playing! its great! enjoy!

best racing game ever
I like the game so much it has all the best you can take upon in rallying great cars, graphis, repairs, all about the game is so great awaiting forcollin mcrae rally 3.0

=(
one of the worst racing games ever made.real recomended age- 99-100...if your that old, you won't notice the bad parts of the game, and won't even know ur playing it!

A "Poopy-load" of FUN
This is a great game.One of the best for Rally driving/racing fun.I also have GT2 and even though the tracks and myriad of cars is incredible, the rally portion of the game isn't.If you want to play in the dirt, this is the game to own.

Outstanding all the way - even with the sounds of crinkling glass as you slide into the trees.

Love every moment of it.

very realistic
I bought the game a year ago and addicted to it.Tried many other auto games but could not find a better one.Car's reactions to a controller are very realistic.If you get into snow ,car slows down like in a real world orif you dive into mud near the roadside ,that side of wheel pulls that sideetc. Unbelievable. But remember that Americans do not used to rally.Youdon't race against others at the same time,you race against time.So ,buy ityou won't regret. ... Read more

WONDERFUL GAME CHILDREN
This game is a wonderful game based on the hit TV show south park.I Was somewhat sceptical about buying it at first but it is worth the money,But what i don't understand is the M rating. It is rated for strong language but everything's bleeped out!.Anyway,the game is great but the graphics are too simple and the gameplay is sometimes repetive.Why don't i just show this in pros-and-cons information?:

Pros:
-Features Real Voices from Issac,Matt,And Tray
-Features A VERY wide selection of mini games.
-Hilarious Mini Games (Chickenlover,Spank The Monkey,Ect.)
-Features All Of The South Park Characters In Some Way.

Cons:
-The Gameplay Sometimes Gets Repetive
-Many Questions Are Repeated In A Long Amount Of Time
-You can only pick the four kids.They should put a bunch of townspeople on it too like Jimbo and Ned and Mephesto.
-The frog toss game is friggin' hard!!!

All in all,this game is great and anybody who's a fan of south park should rent or buy this.Depends on whether you're a tightwad or not.

Better than you think.
This game is fairly good. I am going to write this review in Pros and Cons formation.

Pros:
Contains real voices from Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and the infamous Isaac Hayes.

Doesn't take too long to load. (WHAT OTHERS DON'T THINK)

Very funny mini games! (BAD KITTY)

Cons:
Gets some-what boring after a while.

Questions can be repeated during extended play.

Graphics look computer-drawn.

Overall, the game is pretty good, but only for South Park fans. It may be entertaining, but it has earned an M rating. Don't leave the package aroung children.

Thanks.

Chef's Luv Shack is awesome!
In my opinion Chef's Luv Shack is a great game for any South Park fan. You can play it with up to four players at a time. With hilarious games a questions, Chef's Luv Shack is number one on my party game list! You can play as Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, or Stan. All of the charcters have their original authentic voices, not some cheesy imitation. This game never gets boring and always makes you laugh.

Cesar Fernandez

Only a game for fans!
This game is very cool. I like the mini-games and the questions. This game is only recommended for south park fans, this is not a good game if your not a fan. The questions are repeated frequently, thats the only bad thing of this game. But i should recommend you to first rent it.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
This game is mildly fun...for about 30 minutes.Of course, it takes nearly that long to load any of the trivia rounds or mini-games.The questions are repeated frequently and overall this game is not the least bit challenging.Trust me, rent it first and if you play it for a few hours you'll get all you can out of the game so don't waste your money on buying your own! ...

Hot Shots Golf
Hot Shots Golf is a good game for fans of golf who are a bit sick of ultra-realism. Some of you, however, will find the gameplay a little too familiar. Either way, you're not going to be disappointed because I give it a 10

Golf on the ps, and fun???Who'd have thunk it?
This game is FABULOUS.A friend of mine was visiting and brought it with him.He finally managed to convince me to play it, and swore I'd like it.I the skeptic that I am, especially involving me enjoying a golf game, highly doubted it.

I am so glad he proved me wrong.I have had this game for 5 years now, and I still enjoy playing it as much now as I ever have.You can play by yourself or with another player or against the computer itself.Even more fun is the ability to unlock other characters in the game after you defeat them.It also forces you to learn how to play with characters that play with left or right hands and whether they have a better long or short game.

The characters are humorous at times.When they mess up, they are hilarious.Their expressions say it all.The makers of this game put a lot of effort into making this game interesting.Great buy.

excellent
Very addictive game play, fun, and challenging. A must have for golf fans.

Very Entertaining
This game is lots of fun! Plenty of levels and hidden players to unlock will keep you playing for a long time.

wonderful in the nature state
My husband discover the game on a demo and we just had to find one. We have golf tournaments with our friends every weekend. The vs. mode is my husband favorite because he is the only one who can win the characters. We just wish playstation would have made Hot Shots2 graphics like the first one. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Move over, Tony Hawk. You've got some new competition gunning at you in this game, which features up-and-coming skaters who are both dangerously hip and recklessly rebellious. Endorsed by skating bible Thrasher magazine, this game captures the true spirit, style, and skill of the renegade freestyle street-skating culture. Choose from several skaters, pick an outfit, and then select from one of 12 skateboarding locations, including the Brooklyn Bridge banks or L.A.'s Santa Monica Courthouse. These and other concrete temples are all based on real-life locations.

There are more than 100 tricks to master, which is necessary if you want to unlock secret levels or outrun the donut-eating cops. Since motion-capture technology was used to design the movement of each skater, each special move looks fairly natural when executed. In addition, each environment is completely interactive. For example, you will see leaves fall from a tree if you happen to hit it. Of course, you can also interact with objects to show off your skating skills. We had fun sliding down ramps and jumping over trashcans.

One of the strengths of Thrasher: Skate and Destroy is its phenomenal hip-hop soundtrack, which features icons like Grandmaster Flash, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, Sugar Hill Gang, Afrika Bambaataa, Public Enemy, Stetasonic, and Run-D.M.C. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

Thrasher
As a skater, i kind of get tired of tony hawk's crazy unreal skating.This is the perfect solution. The tricks are all real, this is all real skating. Have you ever tryed doing a nice little kickflip fs board, on a handrail in tony hawk? What happens? You're on and your off, no time to enjoy it. But no this game. This game is awesome. I played the demo, and rented the game and absolutly loved it. I was looking for it on ebay for the longest time but i think I'm just going to buy it off here. Great game and i recomend it to everyone skater who is bored of the nonsense of Pro Skater.

the only alternative
I love the tony hawk games.I've got all of them and I look forward to the next one... that being said it is important for me to tell you that I have been playing the same game "thrasher" for the entire duration the tony's have been coming out.
maybe it's the video game crime of the century, because there are 5 tony's soon to be 6, and only one thrasher.can you imagine what this game would have turned into in 5 sequels? just the fact that I still play it after 5 years should tell you something.
I'll also tell you that the game is pretty hard, and yeah the fall animations can get annoying.but, that's just it - after you master the controls and flow, and I mean master it, you won't fall for what seems like forever.and when you do fall, you adjust - like the game becoming part of you.
I don't know, but as a skater, I prefer this one over tony, and that's all skaters got, really?

Sweet and REAL
Ok, ill admit it Tony Hawks Pro skater is definently fun with its wacky jobs to perform and the crazy worlds u skate in. I myself skateboard and am gettin kinda tired of the "out of this world" game where u can do jus about ne thing u can think of. Thrasher Skate and Destroy is awesome for the reason its realistic. It's hard, but thats how skateboarding is. You can't go and ollie up 10 stairs and pull of huge combos of tricks on this game or in real life. Id say this game is next best thing to actually skateboarding, gettin chased by pigs, being slammed on some of the tricks, and the overal realism. Ok ive said more then most read lol doubt ne one reads down to here. If you liek skateboarding, this game is for you. (...)

awsome game and even better soundtrack
this game is weird, graphics wise, compared to the stunning tony hawks pro skater 1-4, but most that own the game would say they are equal. the fact that the crashes are never the same, unlike tony hawk's pro skater 1-4, makes this game perfect for me. and the soundtrack, lets just say i wish they wouldve put it on cd. note that tony hawk's pro skater moves incredibly fast compared to real life, unlike thrasher, which moves realistically with no extreme sharp turns handling 50 g's with ease (lol).
i have owned this game once before but it went through a lot of abuse from freinds. i have just purchased it again because my copy was damaged beyond repair/use, and the fact that i love the game. i hope you like this game if you buy it, and pay attention to the wrecks cause they are some real comedy.

WORST GAME EVER!!
I have played the demo, and I could not believe how horrible this game was.

1. The characters in this game can't skate, they hardly get any air

2. Controls are hard

3. I have to unplug the controller to pause the game (pressing start will start some kind of police chase)

4. When I wipeout, it shows it in slow motion which is really anoying

5. lame soundtrack

if u want a good game then get one of the tony hawk pro skater games, whoever chooses this the best over tony hawk, they must have a monkey controling their brain ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

What do the residents of LEGO Island fear most? Deconstruction. The mischievous Brickster has broken out of the town jail and turned loose his army of Brickster Bots to take apart the island brick by little plastic brick. Skateboarding pizza delivery boy Pepper is the island's best hope against this threat, and players will take him through 18 levels based on popular LEGO play themes, such as Adventurers, Castle, and LEGO City. Players will have different ways of getting around the island, like blasting off in a space shuttle or riding on the back of a pterodactyl, all from a first-person perspective. Objectives within the levels include deep-sea diving for bricks, jousting with the Dark Knight, snake shooting, matching mummies in ancient Egypt, and target parachuting. Friendly LEGO figurines are always close by and willing to offer some pithy observations. ... Read more

My kids adore this game!
My kids, ages 8,6,4,and 2, adore this game!My 4 yo son can navigate it without difficulty and yet even the 6 and 8 year olds love it.The 2 year old likes to watch. :o)The BEST part is that it has inspired HOURS of hands-on play with our real Legos!

Too hard for kids, too boring for older kids
This game has no building with legoes!!! Some of the games were so difficult my husband would have to do it. The other problem was that you cannot play around in different levels until you got through each section. This was frustrating to my son. There were only a few things my son could do...

Worse Than the Original!!
All talk, no play! It's either too hard or just rediculuos! Only the grafics were good.

My god this game is awesome!
When i played lego island i thought it was the worst game. The second lego island came out and i decided to play it to see if it was as bad as the first one. I was surprised, lego island2 was tons better. A worth buying game.

One of The Best
When I first started playing it was very fun. Ýt was very easy to get into the game. Ý think it deserves a big thanks. ... Read more
