BRUTAL!
this is the beat soccer game you can get. i am a huge fan of fighting games and soccer, so this game was perfectfor me. the best feature is the boost button. with it, you can headbut, punch, and dropkick other players weather its to get the ball or not. plus you can exicute matrix style kicks at the goal, like scissors kicks, frontflip shots and even a flamingo karate shot!i could play for hours and you probablt will to if you get this game.

I really need this game
I would like to know if i can buy this game from you because i really want it and can't find it anywhere. please let me know if i can or not!

Ok Soccer
It's okay, but not nearly as brutal and insane as it should have been.

Finally, a good soccer game
This game rocks! After reading all the reviews, I was very excited about getting this game. All of my waiting paid off one day when my package arrived. When I started playing I noticed the superb graphics in this game. The gameplay was awsome!!! Although it was kind of hard at fist I picked it up easily. This game is nice and challenging with lots of options and bone crunching tackles. The tackles are fun and make the game more exciting, but sometimes they can get a little too much, because the ref barely calls them even if you do put him on the strictest level. Overall this is the best soccer title that I have ever played.

NON REALISTIC
Ok to start off, this game is a very fast pace and fast action game; much like that off NFL Blitz.If your looking for realism, this is not the game ur looking for. Graphics... not bad, but the accuracy and precision you have to make is virtually nothing.A much more realistic game would be FIFA 2002 or 2003- more precise, realistic, and excellent game play.If you are looking for a game to just flat out hurt someone while getting soccer in there in the meantime, heres your game.Overall, it's a pretty good game, just not the type of soccer you may be looking for. ...

Not Too Confusing If You Stick With It - - Persistence Pays
... I give it 4 stars for the reasons mentioned further below.It is given 1 less star from perfection by me because 1) AT First, it is not user-friendly & clear-cut AND because overall the minigames (while original, ingenious, challenging, diverse, thought-provoking, engaging, humorous, etc.) are truly on the difficult side, even in Normal Play mode.

Once you comprehend the purpose of the items bought/granted, converting items to power notes, planting items on another's bingo board, winning stars from the mini games to place on bingo board, trading crystals to buy power notes, and MOST IMPORTANTLY USING YOUR POWER NOTES CONSTANTLY DURING MINI GAMES TO ENHANCE YOUR WINNING CAPABILITIES, this game is right on the money.Speaking of money, for the lowered asking price of this game, you cannot go wrong.The sound, color, music and graphics are superb, crisp and pleasing.

My 9 year old son has played this game for four days straight, and continues to enjoy it.He is pretty adept with game play controls and is an above average player, yet he would lose often and was not disappointed or discouraged--just resolved to conquering the particular minigame as you can PRACTICE as much as you want.I, too, have played a couple of full games with him and was not bored; neither was I angered by not winning much.The minigames are engrosing and quite fun; I do not regret buying this game.

Pros:Practice Mode, MiniGame Explanations, Lengthy MiniGames, Enjoyable and Diverse Games; Graphics & Sound are Great

Cons:Not for Under 6-Year Old Crowd Without an Adult; Mini-Games a Little on the Tough Side

This is a great game to play with your kids!!
My 5 year old daughter and my 10 year old son love this game.I sat down and played with it one day and have played it every day since.It took a little time for my 5 year old to understand the idea of the bingo card on the board game but once she figured out how to buy items, win stars in the mini game and place block items on other peoples bingo boards it has been a blast.This game is a lot like Mario Party only with the twist of the bingo cards.If you let the game run until after credits you will be rewarded with disney cards, there is no fast way to get to them but the kids enjoy looking through all the characters.

Confusing game board play
Being a fan of Mario Party and Shrek Party, I thought Disney's Party would also be enjoyable. Unfortunately, I am irritated that I paid $40 for this thing. The game play is confusing and takes forever to set up and explain, the on-screen text (for the directions) is really hard to read and is extremely verbose.

The mini-games are fun once you figure out how to play them, but game play is lame. You don't get to roll dice and move along a board. Instead, there is a little roulette that determines where you go. You have to play a bingo-style game with items and stars and there are these items, "power notes" and gems to keep track of (I can't even explain it in a way that isn't extremely confusing).

Overly convoluted, confusing, poorly designed and difficult to read - stay away from this and get Mario Party (4 or 5) or Shrek Party.

DUFFED BY DISNEY
I was VERY disappointed with this game.I too purchased it for my son, who is 6.With all the options at the store, when I saw DISNEY, whoe specifically markets to children, 10 and under, I purchased this game.What a disappointment!Very confusing, no interaction, overwhelming.There is a lot of work involved prior to play, and once play begins the other players (3 run by the computer) are in the way and distracting.I am very disappointed.I feel DISNEY missed the ball on this one, and I think it's a shame that many parents will make the decision to purchase this item based solely on Disney's reputation with children.

Disney Party
I bought this game for my six year old daughters birthday, but what a confusing game! I thought it would kind of be like Mario Party - which is pretty easy to play for little kids. I'm an adult and had a hard time getting the gist of the game. It's not very interactive, you don't get to move along a board - it does it for you. Some of the games are fun, but the explanations on how to play are sometimes vague. Even set on easy the computer players are kind of hard. (For a six year old) I wasn't overly impressed with this game, and after Kindom Hearts, kind of dissapointed that Disney would make such a lame game. In my opinion I wouldn't waste the time or money on this game. ... Read more

Best Playability of any Hockey Game
Complaints I have with other hockey games like EA Sports and Fox Sports titles is that they are either too easy or too hard. This game allows an amazing amount of customization of the difficulty so you can apply a little more difficulty to offset something you are really good at when you want more of a challenge.

I have seen some complaints about the fantasy aspects of NHL Hitz but I think they add a lot of fun to the game. I also like the fact that you play 3-on-3 (plus goaltender). That really opens up the ice for some beauty goals and spectacular hits.

This game is just too fun to miss!

Awesome hockey game!
NHL Hitz 2003 is the best hockey game i have ever played.Its fun and the hitting is awesome.The graphics are sweet and the controls rock!The hitz are really cool, a little unrealistic but just enough to make it fun over regular hockey games.Also you arent really pestered by too many peneltys but a few obvious ones to keep it real.Also the graphics are really good you can really see the hockey players fly through the glass on hard hitting checks like your there!Over all I give it an A+.

Inaccuracy
The game at first is pretty fun--I like how you can get in goalie fights and check the goalie.The graphics are excellent--each individual players face look exactly like the actual player.The pronounciation of the players names are TERRIBLE.They can pronounce some of the more difficult names, but can't pronounce simple names such as Roy (Wah), etc...The mini games, heads, names of created teams, etc... are really corny, making this game seem to be more for a five-year-old.The game gets boring quick.The game being a checking and fighting game, with no actual rules of the game of hockey in it, makes it very irritating--such as icing, tripping, etc...

Awesome Game
This is probably the best NHL game on GameCube right now, its fun and easy to play!The only draw back is only being able to have one season going at a time, however the non stop hitting and fun with the game overcomes that one little problem!I would recommend the Hitz game over any of the other 2003 NHL games!

BUY THE GAME
Don't let the "2002 version is better" reviews. I played this game last night and I bought it a couple of hours ago, I have played 2001, 2002, and 2003. BUY 2003 VERSION.
Sometimes you could call this game "War" because if you turn penaltys off you can check to your heart's content. Last night at my friends house we got 233 checks in a game!
This game isn't about checking though (even though when people ask me how to steal I tell them "X") this game is perfect for hardcore hockey fans. This game is so in depth that you can change equitment! Favorite game ever. Parents, buy it for your kids, kids, beg your parents or buy it yourself. g2g bye! ... Read more

This game is okay
This game can be lots of fun, but you can get tired of it easily.You can do championship, where you have to choose a team and try and beat all the other teams.You can also do something where you can be playing against a friend.You can get into a fight with other players and fight them.One thing I like about this game is that you can get credits by answering a question right and spend them in the hockey shop, where there is different courses and made up teams that rock.Another thing I like about this game is taht it is 4 player.You can check, shoot, pass, and do a dance with your hockey stick that prevents checks.One really cool thing about this game is that you can make uo you're own team.You can name each player, name the team, choose a sign for your team, choose a number for each player, choose how good your players are, and choose if a player is fat, skinny, big headed, tall, short, or with sticking out ears.But like I said, it can get boring after a while.If you like everything I said about this game then you'll really like this game.

It's allright but it gets old
Allright this game is pretty cool but if your looking for a real hockey game this is not for you. Unrealistic and fake gameplay Hitz does not deliver even the slightest bit of realisim. But, aside from that fact, it is a very fun fast pace game. If you play alone then the game is really not that fun, but with two or more people it is a riote(check my spelling on that!). Creating a team is a little of a pain. Instead of creating a really good team right away, you have to earn it by playing your sorry team against the real NHL teams. Of course the teams are dumbed down a bit to make it a little bit easier but it still takes a very very very long time. I'm still working on it.(Darn I just lost!) Oh,... uh anyway...umm...Hitz....Hitz...man. Hitz what can I say.

The title doesnt say it all.
If your one of the people who hate the rules of hockey like offsides and 2 line passing then this games for you. It is probably 1 of the greatest games i played all year. Instead of those wimpy checks in those other nhl games, you will get hit hard. Also in the game you can check your opponent into the glassin which the glass breaks if u hit him hard enough. You can create your own team with your friends.There are also special teams and stadiums too. The only drawback about this game in which i hate is that when you get into a fight with someone on the other team,and if you lose the fight,you lose that player for the rest of the game. I dont care if you lose a player in the 1st period or the 3rd, it still gives the other team a chance to come back. This is why i gave this game 4 out of 5 stars. I hope all of you who read this, to try the game, and i hope you like it.

Great Game...
I have seen some of the online reviews for this game and they did not look good.But when I saw Hitz on sale at a store, I decided to try it.And I must say that this is a great game.Any fan of NFL Bitz style games and a fan of hockey should get it.It has some great features including a create-a-team and points to raise their stats.This game has few flaws, but one is that you can only use 3 skaters at one time for a whole period(3 minutes).All in all, this game is summed up like this:

Pros:
Great music, includes tracks from Stained, Limp Bizkit, and Fuel.

Create-a-team options, also you can raise points up for the ultimate team.

High replay level.Even if you beat the game(isn't to hard), you can still play a friend, exibition, franchise, and a bunch of training games.

Cons:
Only 3 players on a team, out of a possible 6 to choose from.

The gameplay ins't realistic(if that's what your looking for)

And there are too few movements, there should be combo moves like triple dekes and such.

But this game is great, and ANYONE who's a fan of sports should get it.

Go Avalanche!
Quite simply, this is one of the best games I've ever encountered in my twenty-plus years of gaming. I've never liked sports games before, but from the moment I started this game I was hooked. I've always loved hocky, but found that most games were either too dull, too complicated or just didn't have the graphics that make this game light up the way it does on the Game Cube. If you don't own this game, buy it! ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Realistic gameplay combined with total control over your team make Sega’s NHL 2K3 the game of choice for serious hockey fans. The game captures all the intricacies of the NHL, from the furious, hard-hitting action on the ice to the day-to-day decisions made in the front office. Don’t like the production you’re getting out of one of your players? Send him down to the minors for a few weeks of seasoning to get his game in order. Prefer high-scoring shootouts or 1-0 grind-it-out defensive struggles? Tweak the game’s highly customizable AI to set things just the way you like them. Regardless of your preferences, NHL 2K3 delivers the goods to make this a more than passable hockey sim.

Like most of Sega’s recent sports releases, NHL 2K3 hangs its hat on stellar gameplay and sweet graphics. Little, if anything, is overlooked: players move and react much like their real-life counterparts--goalies are especially acrobatic; the puck seamlessly glides, flips, and bounces around the rink and off the posts and goalie’s pads; players can be pinned to the boards during a scramble for the puck; missed shots are covered up by a diving goalie or slapped in off ensuing rebounds; arenas are painstakingly re-created and feature music and sounds specific to each. Off the ice, there’s plenty of strategy and options to tinker with. NHL 2K3 boasts over 30 sliders to alter effects ranging from ice friction to referee collisions. And, of course, there’s the franchise mode that allows up to 250 years of dynasty building. --Larry White

The fun goes on and on!
I got this game about 8 months ago and I still say it is my favorite title for gamecube.If you want a game with an in depth franchise and unlimeted replay value this is your game.This game is so much fun.You will love it.

better then nhl 2003 but still not good
buy nhl 2002 its cheaper and better you can update the rosters yourself

NHL 2K3 Score !!!
NHL 2K3 Very good game . Graphics are well done the game play seems faster than EA's NHL 03 . I like the real names of the arenas and the banners as well . The crowds look real and the gameplay is realistic .

The Nest so Far...
I have played EA NHL2003 and NHL2k3 is by far more realistic in the game play.The attention to the details of the game are excellent.
My favorite features are:
1. You have to actually think were you are passing to and aim the pass accurately.
2. Fighting for the puck on the boards.No hockey game ever did this.
3. Scoring is not ridiculously easy like the EA game.These goalies mean business (excellent replays and commentary)

Simply put: This game rocks.

THE REAL DEAL
I HAVE PLAYED EVERY HOCKEY GAME OUT THERE...THIS GAME BY FAR IS THE CLOSEST THING TO REAL HOCKEY YOU CAN FIND...IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY A HOCKEY GAME FOR ANY SYSTEM, THIS ONE IS IT!!!! ... Read more

A great evolution of the arcade series!
Virtua Striker was the pioneering arcade 3D soccer game.While its arcade-style gameplay hasn't been a favorite of the die-hard sim nuts, it has never failed to keep me entertained.

This latest version of Virtua Striker goes a long way towards being a great all-around soccer experience.The classic arcade feel is still very much intact, although the controls and player movement has been refined quite nicely.

What really makes this game cool is the "Road to International Cup" mode, which lets you raise a team from scrubs to champs.It's a lot like the World Tour mode in Tennis 2K2, where you gain experience and work with schedules.It's always fun to have full control over your team, and this mode does a great job at that.

So, if you like the arcade-style play of the VS series, you won't be disappointed with Virtua Striker 2002.

I can't wait to get this game.After playing this series on other systems, I can attest that this game is one of the best soccer games available.I'm sure that Sega will do an awesome job for the Cube, making this the best one yet!

Virtual Striker 2002
This game [bite] its the worst game ive ever played the grafics [are horrible] and the way the game is set up for u to play if so dumb u should not play or buy this game it is so horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soccer to the max!
You get Awesome visuals, 64 Countries to play with, 1400 selectable athletes, 13 Large and Extremely detailed statiums, lots of modes like Road to World Cup, Tournament and Versus Match, and plus, 1-4 players!

Virtua Striker 3 v.2002 on the GameCube will retain the DNA of the past Virtua Strikers in the series but will hopefully attempt to improve up the awkward controls of its predecessors. The game at this point in its development doesn't seem to improve up the controls of its previous efforts. The controls feel loose and fail to live to walk side by side with the games incredible visuals. Where Amusement Vision has impressed however is in the facade of the title. Going into a football game has never felt so intimidating in a soccer title before, with the impressive size of the well animated crowd barring down upon you and the usual pomp and National anthems associated with games of this sort.

All the usual modes are included in this game, from a versus mode to a decent tournament mode. However we'll get to that later because the most important inclusion in Virtua Striker 3 v.2002 is a Road to the World cup mode. Within this mode players willl have to choose from one country from a pool of 64 and take that said country through to the world cup. The task isn't as that though, there's years left for you to play in the game. That's right, I said years. In the Road to World Cup mode the player must increase their teams abilities over a period of four years playing through preliminary matches, a group league and then search for glory in the final tournament. The team that the player builds during this mode can be used in any of the other modes in the game as well. Now you can finally pay back some of the teams that trounced you in the past with a carefully nurtured dream team.

The other modes are standard soccer fare and shouldn't really throw up any surprises. International Cup is the same mode you'll see in any other soccer title you pick up in your local [retail store]. Pick one International team duke it out against 32 other teams for the International Cup (it wishes it was the world cup). Four groups of eight teams battle through to the last eight before the showdown between the final two challengingers. The next mode is a little more interesting though. The Tournament mode involes choosing your team to go into a tournament against four, eight or sixteen other countries. League mode is obvious. A league of either four, sixteen or thirty-two countries and challenge each other home and away. What is not so obvious is the fact that points are awarded for playing style which is an interesting little addition to spice up the mundane league mode (especially without real player names). Among the plethora of modes is Ranking mode which allows players to play against up to four cpu controlled teams. The results of the matches are then analyzed and you are given a rank. Finally there is your standard versus mode where you can go up against your friends as each of your repectd countries and let the dissing commence.

Virtua Striker 3 v.2002 also features a create-player mode as well as editing abilities allowing fully customiseable football freaks or superhumans depending on your editing abilities. The game allows almost anything in site to be edited. Player names, uniforms, formations and even full teams can be created along with the kit color.

The place in which the game really shines however is in the visual department. The stadiums are massive and contain the best itteration of a crowd since... well ever. The player models are extreemlly detailed and animate wonderfully. The GameCube doesn't have any problems drawing these high detail polygon models at 60fps. Detailed texturing and shadows add to the realism of the experience while incidental details such as grass blades ripping out the ground at every twist and turn. Finally a beautifully rendered sky and accurate uniforms will have you double checking you tv screens.

Virtua Striker 3 v.2002 will arrive at a time when Fifa 2002 will have infitrated many home and ISS2 will be breathing down it's neck. The great aspect of it though is that the title should retain it's arcade roots and this may act as another advantage for the title. While others attempt imitate soccer right to the formations of actual managers Virtua Striker 3 for the GameCube looks to distance itself from the others with simplistic arcadey gameplay.

Graphics, great! I can't belive they could do so good with it! 10/10
Fun, this game sounds fun, but I think it could get boring after a while. Even with World Cup. 8/10
Gameplay, as I said, I think it could get boring after hitting the ball 50 times, 8/10
Sound, no word on Sound yet, I'm making a guess. 9/10

Featuring 16 of the best leagues and more than 75 national teams, 2002 FIFA World Cup brings the game of the world to your fingertips. You will execute curling corner kicks, awesome slide tackles, shots from the top of the box, crunching challenges, and palm-wringing penalty kicks.

Among the major enhancements to this version is the passing system--the core of any real soccer (football) game. It now emulates the same decisions made in a real match. Gamers can place the ball anywhere on the field of play, resulting in an immensely increased repertoire of developing plays. Teammates now make long up-field runs, diagonal runs through the midfield, and streaks across the back of an opponent's defense. They'll call for the ball as they break, letting you know to pass to the space ahead of them.

EA Sports also totally rewrote the AI. The AI now searches for space and key weaknesses in your team's positioning, and will make off-the-ball runs or build up intelligent passing plays before striking a precise through ball behind your last line. Depending on the difficulty level, the AI will create a much more interesting and challenging opponent than in previous versions. ... Read more

Great Game
Finding soccer games for gamecube at stores is hard. I was originally looking for FIFA 2003 or 04 but could never find it. I stumbled upon this game at a store and saw soccer on it and I purchased it.

It was great. I cant compare it to anyother soccer games cuz ive never played any others, but this was really fun. I love how its challenging and is so fast paced. The controls are simple and the graphics are pretty good.

There is one thing thats a bummer. I know that FIFA has all the teams: national teams, club teams, and league teams. 2002 FIFA world cup has only national teams. There are about 40 contries, all seeking to win the World Cup.

This game is made by EA Sports and it carries all of their quality. This game is awesome. It is a great alternative to FIFA. It may be better.

Let's play Soccer.
This was a good game when it came out but there are newer and better soccer games around now.Try FIFA 2003 or Winning Eleven Six.

Realistic Sport Action
When I played FiFa Soccer,I loved it.I even scored a lot of goals(for the wrong team).The commentator is very funny.Everything looks real.And the soccer stars get in fights with the referee.Why have I given it only 2 stars?Well,I rate depending on how much I like something,even though others might really like it,who knows?And I just am not interested in the game any longer.But if I were to rate it by whether or not I think people with different taste to me would like it then I would probably give it a fairer rating of 3.(I sound completely insane).

Great Game For a Great Console!
I love this game! The gameplay is simple although it does take about a half hour to get used to the (great) controls. The graphics are A-W-E-S-O-M-E! The character detail is AMAZING. I could actually tell who the player was just by looking at him! I couldnt do that in any other soccer game before. Also the character animation is very realistic. This game is also fun for multiplayer purposes. I had a great time playing this game with my friends. There are some new teams to unlock but not enough to satisfy my needs for unlockables.

Oh yeah by the way: GO GERMANY!!!

I hope that helped.

Tries to make a fast buck off of a pioneering video game.
This game really doesn't deserve any time wasted talking about it, but so far nobody has given it the one star review it deserves so I guess it is up to me.It's supposed to be a tribute/modern update of the classic video game "Space Invaders".Instead, it insults the Atari gaming staple and it is both simpler and more boring than the game it is based on.

In the 21st century, we need video games with a bit more complexity than what we're offered here.You stand at the bottom of the screen and strafe back and forth while shooting at the alien hordes in front of you.Fascinating.Is the game easy?Yup, it only takes around two hours to beat!What is the point of the game?Well...to make money off of a clueless public hungry for a piece of their video gaming youth I suppose.Don't fall for it.This would be okay as a freebie on the Internet or maybe for a couple of bucks to play on your cell phone.Just don't spend any money purchasing it for your GameCube because you'll be regretting it the very next day.

Stand and Shoot.
Modeled after the classic styles of several Atari games, Space Raiders allows you to blow up and shoot alien after alien in an all-out assault on planet Earth.With three playable characters in Story Mode and Survival Mode, you work your way through mini levels leading up to a boss in Contra style until you reach the head alien, a floating eye robot combo.The game itself takes just about two hours or so to beat per character in Story Mode, which comes with unlimited continues.Survival Mode is the same game minus any continues which can make it quite difficult to beat the pre-set high scores.If you would like to own a game that allows you to just sit down and shoot aliens and work through quick levels and big bosses, then Space Raiders is the perfect game for you.

Good old fashion fun!
Okay, if you are looking for a challenge, then this isn't the game for you.But, if you are looking to have some fun then this is a great game to own, especially for the price.The old arcade style action shooter brings back great gaming memories.The game is easy to beat, and the story is TOTALLY cheesy, but the graphics are nice and the gameplay is really fun. A downside to the game is that it doesn't have 2 player in story mode, which I thought was pretty lame.Overall, I am pleased with Space Raiders.

Brings back old memories! Fun but not a "must have" game.
This is a modern game for fans of the old Centipede and Zaxxon arcade shooters. Characters can only move left or right across the bottom of the screen shooting and throwing grenades at many types of aliens and zombies. At the end of each level you fight a giant boss, like in Contra. The graphics are great but the voice acting and storyline sucks. If you liked the old-school arcade shooters, you'll find this to be fun!

Nintendo Power
Just today I recieved my Nintendo Power and it had a big article about this game. I never even heard of the game but since it's exclusive it has to be a must see. Next week I am going to be buying this game and I will write a review of it on here so everyone can know what it is like. It actually doesn't look half bad by the screens. ... Read more

Best game while it lasted
I loved this game.YOu could play seasons, (all of the home page of All Star Baseball 2002)I just got in to season and you can trade, I had the best team, but I found out my game was scratched(I scratched it) and so now I'm getting All Star Baseball 2003.I would get 2003 for the BEST baseball game for gamecube.

good for when friends come over but not season play
There are a lot of things about this game that are great: the players batting is very realistic, the commentary is clear and applies to the gameplay, and the players remind you of the actual people they represent.However, the gameplay is among the worst in baseball video game history.Running the bases correctly is an experiment in futility. Hits that should clearly be a double (off the wall, in the gap) inevitably end up with the runner being thrown out at second because the game stops the player at first and you have to madly press on the gamepad to get them to run to second, which they do inevitably, but too late. Fielding is inaccurate for the outfield.Players stand under where the ball is dropping and it bounces in front of them. Also, every time I play in the season mode, the game ends up letting the better teams from that year (especially the mets and yanks) score 12 runs.These are great teams, but not that great every game.Anyway, I was sorely disappointed with the season mode for all of the details mentioned.But the game is a lot of fun for a buddy to come over and play with. If you are looking to just mess around and play a video game once in a while it's not bad at all, especially for a reduced cost (I would say the game is worth about [money]), but stay away if you want to have a long term investment in a fantasy league.

Good game
Fun game to play I play it almost every day. I like because I'm a basball player.It could have been just a little better I think good holiday gift.

Good play . . . bad errors
This game has wonderful graphics right down to the mascot. However, glitches in the game make it hard to really enjoy the game. Such as players running through walls to catch foul balls. Batting and pitching are pretty simple. If you can get past the glitches this game is fun and entertaining. Trust me this game does not play on didactic platitudes.

Good, but extremly flawed.
... There are plenty of options includiong full seasons, trading, roster creating, creating player,exibitions, and all star games. There is defianly a lot to do.Now in the actual game it is quite fun, especially with more then one player but you will have to overlook serious flaws to do so. Numerous fielding and batting errors can seriously derteriate the games funness, but not too much. There is still a lot of fun to be had making your own team and taking them to the world series. So, anyfan of baseball, on a limited budget, should defiantly pick this up, despite it shortcommings. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City have inspired a lot oftie-ins and licensed material, but oddly enough one of the best 2002 Olympic-stylesports games is based on the ESPN license, and completely lacks Olympic rings,torches, and fanfare. But even without official Olympic magic, ESPNInternational Winter Sports 2002 wins a gold thanks to smooth and simpleplay.

The game features just about every Winter Olympic sport worth watching: downhillalpine skiing, slalom skiing, bobsledding, half-pipe snowboarding, ski jumping,freestyle mogul skiing, speed skating, figure skating, and curling. Hockey isnotably absent from this list; the game developer rightly assumed that hockeyfans will be served by a dedicated hockey game such as NHL 2002.

The included events use clever but simple control schemes, and the basics ofeach event are explained with a tutorial designed to quickly teach users how toperform the necessary actions and go about the business of breaking records. Forexample, ski jumping involves quickly pressing two buttons and then a third tojump, pressing the first two again to extend your distance and the third againto land. Bobsledding mainly demands a smooth touch of the digital stick, whilefigure skating is a choreographed event in which the player performs onscreenprompts. It's amusing that a game for such a fancy new system uses a controlscheme based on the old-school Track & Field arcade machine, but in thepast 20 years nobody has come up with a better way to simulate Olympic sport.

While the controls may be dated, the graphics are unmistakably on the cuttingedge. The game looks brilliant, crisp, and pure as the day after a light snow.The snow fans up when skiers turn, and the polygonal athletes have excellentfacial graphics. The presentation is fantastic and so is multiplayer mode with abuddy.

So, when Olympic fever strikes--even if the Olympics are long gone--you'll wantto have a copy of Konami's ESPN International Winter Sports 2002.--Bob Andrews

--This text refers to the Xboxversion of the game.

Pros:

• Excellent controls and a wide range of sports to play
• Looks fantastic

• The controls aren't really simulations; they can even be physically tiring
• It's missing Olympic accouterments and athletes

The best
I think this game is the best i have ever played it's worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just What You'd Expect
Winter Sports 2002 isn't a great game. But anyone familiar with these types of Olympics games should know exactly what they're getting.

There is a lot of hitting buttons ala 80's Track and Field style Olympic games. The difficulty of the games is getting the timing down and either you like that kind of game or you don't. If you do, then this game offers a couple of good events -- moguls and halfpipe are probably the most interactive events.

The downhill skiiing is difficult to control and is quickly annoying. It also doesn't help that the characters lack any personality. Part of the fun of Track and Field was that there was a myriad of countries to choose from -- that's just not here.

The music during the game is also somewhat mellow -- which I find appealing. I'm not interested in being stimulated for hours on a game console so this game works in that regard.

The best thing to do with this game is have a friend over, crack open something intoxicating, then give the game a try.

dont waste your money
this game is not fun it was very hard. Cost to much money.DONT BUY IT!!...

Bad game
Don't let them fool you by the cover it's not as good as it looks!It gets boring very fast and it's harder than most games.They make it look fun to make you want to buy it.Don't throw your money for it.

No Gold Medal For This
This is a dull game(what a surprise!Another dull Gamecube game!)in which each event consists of pressing one or two buttons over and over again.The best event is ice dancing,but even that is disappointing.It involves trying to press your green button over and over at the exact right time.The more accurate you are,the better the figure-skater will perform.The less accurate you are,the more they will fall or miss special moves.Warning;as someone who never suffers motion-sickness,I got sick while watching the flasing arrows and trying to press my button just as theyhit the spot theyre supposed to.All in all,a disappointing and boring game. ...

The All-Star Series is BACK!
Of course all of you baseball fans out there that have a nintendo system know about the game series of All-Star Baseball that has continued from 1999-2004. Everyone that has owned one of these games knows how great it is. There is no dissapointment when you've gotten your own addition of All-Star Baseball 2003. The graphics are great, the gameplay is good, and the commentary is outstanding. The 2003 addition has some more features for all of you All-Star fans.

Of course, since 1999, all the All-Star games feature the same diffeent types of gameplay including: Exhibition, Season, Series, Home Run Derby, Batting Practice, Create A Player, etc. Well get ready All-Star lovers because this 2003 version has a brand new feature never seen before. The new feature is called "Expansion Mode." This mode allows you to build your own baseball team. First, you chose from over a dozen major cities througout the US that have never been used before such as: Dallas, Hartford, Birmingham, etc. Then you choose your team's new stadium with 6 never before used staiums. Then you choose the team's logo which includes everything from: Aviators - Tornadoes. Then of course you have a player draft to put your team together and make it come alive. The last thing is choose your league either National or American. This features is awsome!

A new minor feature is in Season mode. First of all, you can create your own player and put him on the team roster before you start a season. Remember you couldn't create another player once your in Season mode? Well on this one you can! Anytime during the season you can create another player and add him to your roster. Another small feature is the Weather Forecast. On the main menu of your season there is an icon that says Weather Forecast. When you enter this option it shows you all the forecasts for all the scheduled games for that particular day. There is a huge US map that has a star on the location you're looking at the forecast for. It Below it displays the game of who versus who, the day's high and low temps with a weather picture next to it such as: Rain, Sunny, Cloudy, Overcast, etc. Then it displays the current temp, and also the wind speeds along with the precipitation percentage. This is a real cool feature.

The gameplay is outstanding. The game features accurately updated player batting and pitching stances. Also it features new throwing and fielding manuevers more and more like real life. The faces are so incredibly detailed that you actually think you're at the game! The stadiums look 10x better than ever before and also include the new stadiums for Expansion mode, Batting Practice and Home Run Derby.

However, there is a bit of a downside to the game's gameplay which is why I rated the game 4 stars instead of 5. In all the All-Star games the cathes are a little off to the side and not exactly lined up with the glove. That is basically the only downside to the game. Other than that this game is undoubtably amazing. This is the best of the All-Star series yet and it just keeps getting better and better from here. It's all up from here on!

ASB2k3-new but old
Now that ASB 2004 is out, I think you are better off buyiing that. ASB 2K3 does not include a manual instant replay and many other cool things.

All Star?What!?
This has to be the weakest baseball series there is.Buy a different baseball game and be much happier.

ok but bad for season play
There are a lot of things about this game that are great: the players batting is very realistic, the commentary is clear and applies to the gameplay, and the players remind you of the actual people they represent. However, the gameplay is among the worst in baseball video game history. Running the bases correctly is an experiment in futility.

Good Baseball game
This is a good baseball game if you are a hardcore fan.I like the expansion option alot.the only problem with this game is that it is too repeditive, and hard for a newcomer to pick up (I played one of my friends, and we stopped playing because I was winning too badly).Over all, though, I liked this game a lot.

The best game in the univerese
This game is the coolest! you can call really neat defensive plays and also make your own plays! there's even ablilty to unlock retired QB's like Steve Young and Dan Marino and the graphics are unreal! this game is awesome

horiible game!
I hated this game evrything u can possibly imagine bad in a football game it has. A horrible game do not buy!

Touchdown for Acclaim Entertainment!!!
I have QB Club 99 for the N64 and that's great. But here comes QB Club 2002 for the gamecube and i didn't hesitate to buy it. With it's all new game play, more recivers (A, B, X, Y, and R)and better graphics. I only have three minor complaints
1. The anouncers sometimes say the wrong player or team.
2. The normal camera view is a little far away.
3. You can't create a team. (maybe you can I not sure)
But trust me this is a great game and has a great season gameplay. The quarterback challenge is a major up point and the create a player is fabulous. The only thing I haven't done is go to the Super Bowl in New Orleans with the Jaquars....

This game sucks
This game is a terrible excuse for a GameCube game.The graffics are just a bit better than PS One.

There are so many glitches with it also.The announcers continually say the wrong player names, and sometimes say the team names wrong.

The gameplay is also very below par.You can score on every play using the hail mary with a fast receiver.When players don't catch the ball, the ball bounces off of them like it was flubber.

Get Madden 2002 instead.It looks better, has a franchise mode, has a better create a player option,and is overall a lot funner (which is what really matters).

I Own QB Club and It's Great!
In a strange sequence of events, I found this game a few days ago at the bottom of an N64 clearence bin.I don't know why it's there, but I love it!The graphics in QB Club are slightly better than Madden, and are a huge improvment over past N64 QB Club games.The sound is also great (you can hear the play-by-play, the quarterback calling audibles, etc.).All 31 NFL stadiums (plus 2 bonus stadiums) are beautifully reproduced and it feels as if you're in the stadium.In addition, QB Club has create-a-player and free agents which allow you to customize and improve teams.Also, QB Club's QB Challenge mode is a fun test for when you dont want to play a full game.In summary, if you're a football fan, or if you're looking for a great Gamecube game buy NFL QB Club 2002.It's a great game! ...

Cool Game
I myself am new to the dance games. I just got this game and my 3 and 6 year old boys and I love it. I have seen the DDR game for XBOX and it's cool but my friend that has it said she liked the song selection of the Game Cube's better. I think for the price (I got it for $52.99 here at the Game Stop in Hawaii and the Gamespot.com sells it for $49.99) it's great. I've seen dance pads with no game included going for over $100. So I think $50 is a pretty great deal when it includes the game and the pad. I am looking forward to the future of Game Cube.

Not Nintendo's DDR
First, I'd just like to correct the few up above.This DDR-rip is NOT Nintendo's version of DDR.This game AND pad is most completely by MadCatz for the Nintendo GameCube console.Nintendo had nothing to do in making it.However...

Nintendo, Bemani (the creators of DDR), and Konami (the publishers of DDR) ARE working on a collaborative DDR together called "Dance Dance Revolution with Mario" and it will be out later this year.

MadCatz Groovez does seem kinda interesting, though.

Stick with DDR
I have been waiting for a dance game to come out on game cube. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. The three featured artist on the cover of the game are the highlights of the music selection. The rest is pretty poor. The graphics are poorly done and the modes themselves pretty crappy. At the end of the just dance mode it doesn't use grades or anything it just asks for initials if you get a high score. Workout mode doesn't give you any options so you have to use all 8 buttons which is really hard if you're just starting out. If you own a PS2 or Xbox I highly recommend buying DDR instead. This will just leave you upset that you spent 50 dollars on a game that's maybe worth 20.

not as good as DDR
The music and graphics are not as good.Also like the original DDR format better.

Bust a Move
MC Groovz really is just a blatant rip-off of the Dance Dance Revolution franchise, but it does fill a hole in the Gamecube line-up: that of the rythm dance game. If you own DDR on another console, then don't buy this, because it's actually a step backwards as far as challenge is concerned. For those who only own a Gamecube and have always been interested in a dance game, MC Groovz is a lot of fun. ... Read more
