most fun in a starwars game till its sequel
i cant posibly think anyone would hate this game if they played it. It is most fun/funny starwars game yet. a perfect 10. BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not just a kids game!You will LOVE this game!
This game is fun for the whole family.I figured at first that my little boy would be the only one to really play this game.My husband and I both thought it would be fun but we did'nt realize just how much fun until we are now hooked to playing it!!!The sounds of the light sabers are just like the real movie and the people all look just like real legos!The game is'nt very difficult but it holds your interest.There is over 30+ playable charaters to use.The game combines all 3 of the first movies in to one full game.I really like that about it, its like having 3 different games but for one price.There is tons of hidden things to find in this game.I highly recommend it for kids and adults!

My sons 6-11 love it
I haven't played the game, but I got it for my Star Wars fan son when it first came out. All of my sons like this game and keep returning to it. They are figuring out how to unlock the 4th episode level. If you have a young one and they like Legos and Star Wars, I guess you have a winner here.

May the fun be with you
Lego Star Wars is the greatest Star Wars game on earth. When you destroy something or someone it shatters into a buch of lego pieces. Star Wars+Lego=Fun. And its not only for kids. Many adults enjoy playing Lego Star Wars. The game is extremly fun. You can use the force to throw yor enemies or you can take your light saber out and chop em into lego peices. Or you can blast them with your pistol if you are Padme.

Beware the Inch-High Jedi
This is probably the best Stars Wars game made.As far as i'm concerened, any Stars WArs game where you get to use a lightsaber is the best (there are enough games with blasters).When you turn on the game you start out in Dexters Diner, a place where you chose your level and buy characters.You get to play through episodes 1,2 and 3.
WHats good is that if you haven't seen episode 3, the game doesn't spoil that much, it gives you enouggh info so that you know what you're doing in the game, but not enough to spoil the movie.While you are travelling through the star wars universes, you collect LEGO studs, the currency of the game.At dexters diner, you can buy characters with them.YOu can also buy hints and extras, but I think they are a waste of studs.After you collected enough characters from the light side and dark side, you can go out to ddexters parking lot to wacth and join unorganized fights.They are a little easy but fun. When you collect suds you're jedi meter fills up and if you fill it up to the top you will get a piece of a special ship.TO complete fill the jedi meter in every level.You also collectt mini kit parts which you can use to make ships to put in the parking lot.If you get every ship you will unlock the games ultimate secret (sorry i don't know what it is).A good way to collect studs is to get all the mini kit pieces in a level, which will give you about 50,000 studs.Try to complete the ones in boss levels because they are small levels and pieces are easy to find.

Excellent! True to the story and very fun.
Very true to the story. This game started out rather boring, especially if you've already played the other games in the series, but it just keeps getting better. Don't buy it if you have the game on PS2, either, it's exactly the same, but it's a harder game than the second and easier than the first. You could almost say that it was a happy medium. Being a Harry Potter fanatic, myself, it was rather exciting to finally be able to play a game on my first console. Being almost sompletely true to the book made it all the better. Play it!

Not a good choice
I rented this game, my almost 4 year old son wanted it so I decided we'd rent it first and try it.It was too scary to play around him.I even got a little creeped out by the dementors sucking Harry Potters soul out of his body.
If you have small children don't buy this game.

Best game ever!!!!
This is the most amazing Xbox game ever!!! I just got it yesterday and I beat it in 1 day!!! I couldnt stop!!!

Things that make this game so great...

1. Exploring Hogwarts Grounds and flying on Buckbeak! Also their are 3 different seasons...fall with rain...Winter with beutiful snow and great winter music...and spring! The grounds are huge! Its amazing! You can even run around the two courtyards from the movies! On buckbeak, you can take off, and land anywhere on the grounds!

2. Being Harry Ron and Hermione!

3. The graphics are amazing, much better then the first two games! Harry Ron and Hermione dont look stupid like they did in the first 2 games!

4. The music is great...the same great music from the first 2 plus new great music!

OK...their are many more great things about this game that I could be here all day...get this game! Dont even think about it just get it...you will thank me!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a big Harry Potter fan, I've read all the books, I have the 2nd gaem on the PC, and I have the 3rd HP game for XBox. One bad thing.......I don't have my Xbox yet!! IT is killing me cause I got ot play it just a little bit and I want to play it some more. The graphics are unbelievable. The spells, game-play, graphics, and depth have all improved. It is so incredibly awesome. Buy it now!

This is gonna be cool
I have heard of this game and i thought i might get it. I have played the last two games and thought they were brilliant. I like all my games for Xbox because it's just plain better. Gamecube is ok, but it doesn't have as good graphics. Playstation 2 sucks. Almost all PS2 games suck. I have seen the movie and thought it was the best one, so i figure this is gonna be the best game. I like the book also, but i think the Goblet of Fire game and movie will be better. But until then, this is the best one. ( I still can't believe you cant play Quiditch, but i have the World Cup, so i'm not too worried about it, it's not like people buy the game just to play Quiditch) ... Read more

Good for the Scooby loving little-gamers
My son is 4 years old - and I had bought him the first Scooby Doo game (Night of 100 Frights) thinking that it would be great to start him off.That game is, frankly, way too hard for kids his age (some of the levels were nearly impossible for me to get past).I wasn't sure when I bought this one, if I was just going to be subjecting us to more frustration- but he saw the commercials and desperately wanted it.
My first impressions are that it is MUCH easier to navigate- as there are actually some hints as you go along helping you accomplish tasks to move forward.In this game, Scooby and Shaggy travel around together- and you can switch between whether you want Scooby leading the way or Shaggy.And, this time around, the goal isn't to eat all the Scooby Snacks along the way-you have to find clues and accomplish tasks to move through each location.There are helpful little animated scenes that play at certain points- and if you walk away from the game for more than a few minutes, Shaggy droops over and starts snoring loudly.It's cute.
We are still just beginning to learn how to play this game- and are not hardcore gamers by any stretch- so I can't give technical features of the game.I would say the graphics are good- pretty true to the cartoon, and the music is not terribly thrilling, but definitely in keeping with creeping along in spooky places.
I would reccomend Mystery Mayhem for game players in the 4-10 age range - or so.
Hope this helps! ... Read more

Shenmue II is an instant CLASSIC..
One of the Greatest Dreamcast games ever made is finally making it's second appearance...ON THE MICROSOFT XBOX.Shenmue II not only out does the first one in every way but surprasses it even more, this game is unbelievable.It is handsdown, my favorite Xbox game ever...EVER.The story continues with Ryu Hazuki on the journey to find his fathers murderer and to meet a man who may know alot of things about his father then he'd imagine.Now the game takes place in Hong Kong, and Ryu is still on the hunt....get ready because not only are playing one of the best sequals to a game ever..but you'll be having one of the greatest video game experiences....ever..

Shenmues Graphics are just amazing, As you've already notice I'm not going to give it a negative on visuals since it's not fair because this is a DIRECT PORT from Dreamcast....Those idiots like IGN and gamemagazines should of known this is a direct port and that the visuals were going to be bumped up, hell it would take poor suzukie EVEN MORE YEARS to make the visuals amazing....but who cares cause this game is still AMAZING.The sound/music is just as beautiful as the original Shenmue, sometimes I'd just stand at one area and listen to the music..it's just so brilliant..The level desighn for Hong Kong/Kowloo is just incredible, especially one the final chapter of the game, which I won't spoil.Something I like Shenmue II more then Shenmue I is that Shenmue II is just one of those flat out "Sequals that didn't fail one bit" as I can see alot of people love this game but are dissapointed compared to the original...I'm not one bit, Something that Shenmue I had that made me fall in love with the game was the FREE BATTLES and QTE'S....Theres even WAY MORE of those in Shenmue II, and they've never looked so good on the Xbox.Other then the sequal having more action then it's predecessor, something that I loved about Shenmue is that it got you all pumped up all the way to the grand finale...THIS DOESN'T FAIL AT ALL.Especially the Yellow Head Building part, which is by far one of the greatest moments in Video game history..Everything about Shenmue II on Xbox is amazing....It's just so Brilliant!!!!!

Now for anyone who hated Shenmues Slow paced gameplay DO NOT GET THIS GAME, Shenmue II is just the same(but a lil better) as it's predecessor.It will take awhile to get to the action....More like when you're at the end of the first chapter which by the far longest in this game..Did I mention this has a very good Length..If you skip all the sidequests and just beat the story for the first thenmue, it would take about maybe...10 to 14 hours...It took me about 13 hours and 45 minutes.. Shenmue II takes about 20 to 30 hours of just playing the story mode of it and skipping some side quests....It's just bigger, better and longer...

The Good
-Superb Visuals and got a bit bumped up on the Xbox
-longer then the original
-the voice acting got a tad bit better but not by much
-Theres more character development and we finally know what SHENMUE means!!
-An amazing scenarion that has to do with the Yellow Head Building and LAN DI!!
-More FREE BATTLES and QTE'S
-More clues to find and people to ask, for me it was fun
-The Music is beautiful
-IT'S Just better then the original...that's all I can say about that....

The Bad
-The controls are TERRIBLE, I had to adjust em' before playing the game
-It got a lot of bad review on lots of sites about it's visuals...they should have known it's a straight port from the Dreamcast
-Just like the Dreamcast...Poor Sales for Shenmue II means NO Shenmue III in the future
-Some like myself were left wanting more after Shenmue II's Ending...amazing though..

Shenmue II on the Xbox is one of the best games ever made, and one of the most overlooked xbox title ever..period..Just like every other Sega Game on Xbox...Please if you liked the original you will LOVE Shenmue II, it's just better, longer, better looking, more action, MORE EVERYTHING!!Why the perfect score?..Because on like most of the idiots who gave it abad score cause of Visuals, I'm being mature about it, so what if it's a direct port from DC, The visuals are still amazing even if it's no Doom 3 or Ninja Gaiden....Other then that, Shenmue II is just a beautiful game and that is why I give it a.......

5 out of 5 stars...

Brilliant game....

I can't wait any more I going crazy
For you guys who haven't played Shenmue 2 yet it is a great game there are few games that will take you for a ride like this one. I'm sure everyone who has beaten this game knows the feeling I'm taking about. I could tell at the end that the game it was about to end and I hoped and prayed that this game would go on forever. I read on the internet that there are 16 chapters to Shenmue. The 1st one for DC was the first chapter, part two is chapters 3-5. chapter 2 took place on the boat ride to hong kong.

Grat game, overall.
Never played the first Shenmue. Bought this game because i finally beat Morrowind. This game is great. Many things to do, many interations, and a lot of freedom. The only negatives I found in this game were the vastly inferior graphics, and the lack of any sort of actual ending. Otherwise it's fun game.

Shenmue 3 soon?
Hey guys. It's been over a year now since Shenmue 2 was released and I'm sick of waiting for another sequel. I can't wait any longer. We need some sort of an update on when the game will be comeing out so we have something to look forward to, I don't care if I have to wait I just want to know when the game comes out. Also if you haven't tried Shenmue than I would highly recommend this video game. It is one of my favorite video games that I have ever played and it just gives off so much real life freedom. Theres more frequent fight scenes and QTE scenes than the first that makes this game the total package! Ryo Hazuki explores 3 new places Hong Kong, Kowloon, and Guilen. Anyways if you haven't boughten this game yet, than you should right now! Believe me you wont be sorry!

best game alltime
i agree like others shenmue 1 and 2 are among the greatest games alltime great story amazing graphics and mix of movie like cinemas with a deep easy fighting engine in shenmue youre looking for the man who killed your father youll travel around asking questions fighting buying grocerys even working all to help you on your ultimate goal in shenmue 2 u arrive in hongkong to keep on the trail of the man who killed your father theres so many cool things you can do in this game buy diffrent cassetes to play even play old 80s games in an arcade inside the game that has all segas arcade games they had in 1987 the year this games based in this game time matters and it goes from day to night seasons change and youll interact with hundreds of people and do hundreds of mini tasks as u look for your fathers killer when u fight its like an action movie only it controls perfect and its deep fighting u have over 50 moves buy this game while they still make new copies its got a cult following for a reason the game teaches u to exhaust all options before fighting respect the ederly feed the hungry and animals its a really cool smart game the ending is amazing and cost 5 million just to make the final scene theres no other game like it youll become addicted to the minigames and shed a few tears over the games artistic beauty i kid u not we are all waiting on yu suzuki to announce a third and final shenmue ...

Great game!
My son is 6 and it is sometimes difficult to find games that are fun, challenging and at the same time easy enough for him to play himself. This game is not only fun for both of us, but it's challenging in a way that is not too hard for him nor too easy for me. We enjoy playing together and helping each other through the levels. Graphics and controls are great. The game is creative with fun "extras" to find that will make you laugh. My favorite part is the text boxes. My son doesn't have to call me into the room every 5 minutes to read the text for him because the game reads it outloud for him! Great feature!! We loved the movie and will enjoy the game for months to come! ... Read more

haha awesome! Blue Sky Rangers Forever
All the time that I've spent playing Morrowind over the past few years pales in comparison to those grueling hours playing Utopia back in 1984. . . and with that out of the way, may I say that Intellivision Lives! is the greatest treasure in my video game library today. So many games packed into one cartridge (errr. . . X-BOX CD I mean) that are playable at whim, and in their original form.

One of the big complaints I've heard from gurus is that the controls make playability virtually impossible, but I disagree. My fingers have bled much less than I remember, and games like Astrosmash and B-17 Bomber as fun today as they were originally. Of course, in the world of CGI and high-paced video gaming that takes days to conquer, Nightstalker might take its toll on the average attention span within 15 minutes. Not me, however, as all I really need is this game, a case of beer, and some Smiths blaring on the radio to make my night perfect.

My only complaint is that some of my favorite Intellivision-unique games from the day were created by other companies that do not have software included, such as Sewer Sam, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and Microsurgeon. Still, with 60 games (around 20 of them still hold up today in my opinion), how can I rationally complain? Cudos for all the extras for hardcore gamers like me to browse through, including programmer interviews, unreleased games, commercials, and unplayable junk that still brings me back.

Next on my wish list: modern day updates of some of these classics. Imagine B-17 Bomber with modern technology utilized, or a Nightstalker sequel. Crave Games, you have made a grown man very happy.

Just Plain Bad
Boy did they really screw this game up...

First of all, you can tell that this is not emulated...
The games all have a different feel, sounds are not quite right etc...
The whole layout is bad, and takes place in an arcade... Funny the intellivision was a HOME system...
And the background music makes me want to pound my head into a wall after a few minutes..
Some games I can't even get to start...

This is almost as bad as the 25 in 1 controller...

Of all the "retro" out there, they really screwed up Intellivision big time..
Intellivision deserves much better than the cr*p they are putting out..

Spend the money at a yard sale and buy the real console because this is horrible..

90% UNPLAYABLE!!
About 90% of this game is unplayable!! largly in part to the fact that the intellivision had a very uniqe controller thus rendering this game mostly unplayable. Buy this game only if you are a die hard collector. they really should have included a packaged controller, so what if the game would have cost more at least you would be able to play it!

Bandit......9 O'Clock!!
If reading my header you are confused, look for another video game. For those of you familiar with that exclamation from B-17 Bomber, buy this game right away! You get tons of nostalgia and tons of fun with this disk! Sure the nostalgia may wear off after about 10 minutes, but go beyond that and you will find some truly fun games to revisit and play. I spent many hours in my pre-teen years playing Intellivision, and I still own the original system. I hooked it up about 3 years ago and played some of the games. It was fun, but as you can imagine, hooking up the ancient systems was a real pain in the ass! I was so glad to see Intellivision Lives! for X-Box, I bought it right away. Sure some of the best games are not included like D&D and Tron's Deadly Discs, but there are so many great ones here they won't be missed too badly, and hopefully they will be included in a second volume. B-17 Bomber is still fun to play and I get a kick out of the old "Intellivoice" warning me about Flak and Bandits. Night Stalker is great with it's bass-like background music. I still think "Pinball" is highly addictive, and I am trying desperately to teach my 6 year old son the controls for Utopia so we can play. Sanfu is included and still fun to play. Thunder Castle's theme music is still kind of chilling and though very limited, the game play is engrossing. It's also kind of nifty that there are so many games included that I missed the first go around like Shark! Shark! and the Wrestling game. Sure, there is some trouble converting from the old paddle to the new X-Box controller, but it's not something that should hinder you from picking this game up. For $20 or less if used, you are buying hours of entertainment!

They want how much for this game???

Call it a 2.5 rounded up
I like Wallace and Grommit.I don't like Wallace and Grommit the game so much.The graphics are decent and the sound is ok overall with some fluctuations.This isn't really an adult game which is surprising because it gets very hard at times...way too hard for kids.Kids don't play this game with an adult, because you will hear alot of cussing.Now for the biggest problem the camera angles....yeahhhh!The camera has a mind of its own sometimes....a big detraction from the gameplay.

Violence level very low, typical W&G humor, hard near end
Well, whether you loved Jak and Dexter I or Soul Reaver I for puzzles and exploration, you will like Wallace and Grommit. There is lot of looking around and remembering where you were and puzzles and jumps near the end are difficult. If you beat Jak I, you will find this game is even more demanding in terms of player's dexterity. Level one is cute, next few are underground and not so good looking, while snow and ice level looks refreshing.

Playing this game is sometimes full of unsuccessful attempts, but don't give up, it is worth your time!

Two moves forgotten in manual:
back, forward+jump=big jump
rotate left analogue stick full circle+attack=break dance/capoeira attack

Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo
This game starts out as very fun, but the more you play the harder the levels become, and I mean TOO hard. I played this game with my boyfriend and we are both very good gameplayers in our 20's, and even we were having the worst time beating the levels near the end of the game. There are a lot of tricky parts near the harder levels that I had to play around 7-10 times over again, sometimes more, in order to complete. This game became more frustrating than fun after a while, because you had to move so precisely it became almost impossible to move on to the next part.

Another really frustrating part of the game was that as you moved Gromit through the levels, when you get to a hard part where you need to adjust the camera angle in order to complete the task sucessfully all of a sudden the camera angle moves, and it became really hard to adjust back. This would happen EVERY TIME you needed to do a tricky task.

And another note, the game does look very beautiful in the beginning, inside this tropical green pretty looking place, but the next few levels have very ugly scenery, one is a rusty mine, and the ugly scenery does not improve the enjoyment of the game.

My best advice would be that if you want an accurate review of the game, make sure the reviewer has played through more than 1/2 of the game. The game is VERY decieving through the beginning.

Wallace and Gromit battle Feathers again
Any fan of Wallace and Gromit will love this game.The game starts with a long intro to set up any non-fan with the important characters, and introduce the player to the off-kilter storyline Wallace and Gromit are famous for.Feathers McGraw takes over the West-Wallaby Zoo and all it's animals.Your job, as Gromit, is to assist Wallace in freeing the animals and especially Wallace's adopted polar bear (part of an adopt-a-bear program).The game-play is very fun, fluid and fully of silly gadgets.I enjoyed it fully and think most who play it would agree. peace. ...

Great Game
Hellomy name is Zachary.I am really enjoying The Series of Unfortunate Events video game as it is very fun. It has mini-games within the game itself.You can invent things from pieces and parts that you find in the game.Sometimes you have to deafeat Count Olaf's henchmen with either Klaus or Violet.Also, if there are small holes Sunny can crawl through them. The only flaw I found with the game is that the overall game is too short.

Great game based upon the movie!
I very much enjoyed this game and I think it may be my favorite X-BOX game I own!I Kinda agree with the person that said that this game was pretty short,but it does not make it any less better!One funny part about this game is the part where you are Sunny for the first time in the game and have to jump to each pipe and the whole time she is just sitting there laughing her head off!I reccomend this game for people that like games that are fun,educational,and very durable!

Great but Short!
Great game to rent! Fun inventions as well as mini games...only problem? I rented it monday morning and after about 4 1/2 hours of game play i had beat it. Rent...don't buy it.

Not exactly the best game.
This game is ok. The inventing parts are fun, and the challenges are great. The only downside is how short it is. I bought it on wendsday, and beat it thursday. Its either the game, or me. But, all in all, this game, personally, is an 8 out of 10.

great not to easy not to hard
This game is very good. It is very fun and the goals are fun too. All the gameplAY IS GREAT and the mini gamez are fun too. It is hard to explain how fun the game is. ... Read more

Refreshing fun with a retro character
While the gameplay may not be the most ground breaking, the fun factor behind this game is great. The cartoonish atmosphere and the characters will make kids and adults alike smile throughout the game. Whether it's Harry's wit, the damsels in distress, the talking animals or the "oooga booga" natives, the humor and the story work well together, as well as keep challenging and fun gameplay through 50 levels.

If you are looking for a technology reveloution, look elsewhere. If you are looking to have mindless entertaining fun, this is your game. You will find yourself smiling throughout.

Ok,but has been done.
This is just another Mario, Crash Bandicoot game.It's ok I guess but if you've played these other games, you'll see what I mean.You just go from level to level, aquiring items to alow you do do certain things and make certain moves.It's ten dollars less than most new games, that's good.I was hoping it would have more of the feeling of the old Pit Fall.I loved the old one, and it was simple. Don't get me wrong, I love the new technology, but I think they could have done better. You do get to unlock the origional games on the Xbox version. I haven't done it yet, but that might make it worth something.The character in this game is like a cartoon character, not a real person, it's more geared towards children.
Now the real down side, there are too many glitches.Some stunts you are supposed to be able to perform don't always work.Sometimes you fall into places an it freezes up.
The upside: I do like games where you can rotate the camera all the way around, and this one does it.You don't easily fall off things and die, even if you do fall, you can fall a great distance and not die.You can escape from the jaws of crocodiles.You life meter is pretty long giving you a lot of oportunity, and a reserve canteen makes it easier, both of these can be added to as you go.You don't really have to fight big bosses at the end of levels like in other such games.The graphics are good for the cartoon like game that it is.It's an ok game.Rent it first and see if you like it.Younger players may get a hoot out of it.

Pitfall Harry is the man
I got a chance to play through a demo of this game and really enjoyed it. I grew up playing the original Pitfall on the Atari 2600 and even the mediocre Sega Genesis version, but this new developer (Edge of Reality) really "gets" the game. Pitfall does not take itself too seriously, but it really is a seriously good action/platformer game. You'll have fun, and so will your kids. It's a title the whole family can sit down and play. Go ahead, take it for a swing. :-) ... Read more

Great game...better than TAK, almost as good as Crash B. ...
*TORK - XBOX*
I remember seeing ads and short videos for Tork on the official XBOX website a year or so ago. I was bummed when I found out it was being put on a shelf with the possibility of never being released. Thankfully, I was thrilled when I found out it was going to be released and even more so now after playing it. The levels are colorful with tons of eye-candy. The creatures are interesting, but usually simple drones to have a short duel against. The surroundings are fresh and interesting with a "never a dull moment" scrolling motion. The levels are sometimes easy and sometimes very challenging. I get to play the more challenging levels and my kids play the others. My kids love it when I play because the game is so good looking, they forget I'm playing and get captivated by the brilliant colors and non-stop action. They love watching it...seriously...they beg me to play! Okay, you got me, so I like the game too! But they really do like to watch me play the more challenging levels...really, really.
There's no slow-down and everything seems to be very well done. My only complaint is it can get awfully hard at times (and I'm a serious veteran video gamer, all the way back to the original Atari pong). Fortunately, there are plenty of checkpoints and if you lose all your lives you can start over at you last checkpoint with 5 more lives. There are very slight camera issues when you try to back-track. During a back-track effort Tork is so low on the screen it's sometimes hard to see a cliff or enemy and your next step could be very damaging or fatal. You just have to be careful and go slow. You'll get used to it but it can get annoying if you back-track too much.
Tork is a little more fun than TAK because it's more aggressive and there seems to be tons of non-stop action. Also, the levels take you to the next step or objective of the game. So you're not left wondering what to do next. It seemed in TAK we constantly was searching for the next level or objective and at times it became frustrating. In fact, so frustrating my kids lost interest in it relatively quick.
Tork's not quite as free-roaming as TAK, but more so than CRASH BANDICOOT. In fact, it reminds me of CRASH in many ways. There's plenty of colorful and creative levels, challenging bosses and you get to break lots of stuff for points and collect things for power-ups.
I would say it's not quite as good as the more recent Crash Bandicoot:Wrath of Cortex(it's real close though) but it looks and feels better than the first couple of Crash Bandicoots. If Tork does well it just might start a life of its own like CRASH did. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This is cute and fun and worth the legacy.
IN FINAL: Fantastic game for all ages, especially for the kids(and Dads who like to join in with the kids now and then). Colorful with lots of eye-candy and very creative levels. Well done.
A MUST FOR ANY PLATFORMER FAN.

Lots of fun
I had lots of fun playing this game too, but I haven't seen the final version yet.

A lot of fun playing Tork !
If you like platformers like crash bandiccot, you'll love playing Tork. Gameplay is about transforming into three powerfull creatures (I like the Yeti! he has great shockwave attacks, a huge special power, and a nice fur:)
The graphics are amazing and I like the fact that the environments are full of life (try the "grevious gulch" or "Ice" levels first!)
The gameplay is simple and fun, controls are tight, camera smooth (with a limited control that can be frustrating sometimes at the beginning but happens to be good for this kind of game)
I highly recommend Tork, I give 5 stars, because it's simply one of the best platformers ever ... Read more

Carmen: The Platformer
Carmen Sandiego for the Xbox is based on the classic pc game, but it doesn't feel like the classic game. It barely resembles the old game. Gone are the globe trotting and searching for clues to find criminals. Now it plays like a 3D platformer with stealth elements. You are armed with a pole and a blow gun. The pole can be used to activate switches, or even weapon against robots. The pole can help you jump across long gaps. Since the robots can only be destroyed from behind, you must sneak up to them from behind then wack them with your pole; this is where the stealth element becomes apparent. The whole game looks cartoony and colorful, This is a non-violent stealth game for kids. It is kinda fun, but it makes me miss the classic Carmen Sandiego games because it had the fun trivia and required you to use your brain. Something which is missing in this game.

Pros:
+good graphics
+very cartoony
+good animation
+lots of speach
+good voice-acting
+good level designs
+good camera angles

Cons:
-ugly jungle music
-too kiddy like
-enemies are stupid
-puzzle solving sucks
-fun trivia is gone
-straight platformer
-miss the old Carmen games
-kid's stealth game?
