Fun game, and not too annoying to parents!
I rented this game for my 7-1/2 year-old son.He made faces at first but then played it solid.The graphics are fun, the challenges are at a good level for him.Hard enough to frustrate him a bit, easy enough that he eventually gets it and is proud of himself.I happen to like the soundtrack, having a dozen or so distinct songs is so much better than the usual repetitive "video game" sound.We turned down the voices and turned up the music.

My only complaints are (1) that the Disney character voices are not done by the original voice actors. Some of them are not even close.(2) The 2-player mode gets old really quick as you are just trying to beat each other's score, even with three games.It would have been nice to compete or team up for the games regular goals.

Cool Idea
I'm an 11 year old and I'm a Tony Hawk fan! I think that this is a good idea. As you may know already, Tony Hawk is rated T, but it is a fun game. I think it was good of them to let smaller kids have some fun with it too, but not with all the bad language and stuff. My only complaints are that some of the challenges are extremely easy, but I guess that this game was mainly for younger kids and they might have a harder time with it. My other complaint is that some of the songs are too...I dunno. I'm not very "in" to all that music, but there were a few good songs in this game like the "where's your head whatever" song. I guess that the music was mainly for younger kids too. Anyway, this game is a great buy. If you have children who around 8 years old, they'll LOVE this game! Even I do.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo Awwwwwwwwwwesome
I got this game for Christmas.My only Complaint is that Lil' Romeos voice is like a normal edit kid. I thought that it would be Romeos voice.In Zurgs World it has a low gravity crater that is good for ollies and spine tranfers.

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure--review from a parent
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is a fun game for the 6-12 crowd most likely. The game features tunes from Radio Disney and many fun characters including Buzz, Woody, Tarzan ,etc.

As a parent of two, and gamer myself, we all had fun playing the game. It takes a little practice to get used to the controls but exploring the enviroments (jungle,savana,Andy's room, etc) was fun. As other reviewers note, the game does take some planning ahead (ie. setting up for a grind or something to pull off trick, or getting to where you need to go). The game has little mini missions that allow you to unlock levels and skaters.

I recommend the game for the ages listed above. You may want to rent first before a purchase just to make sure it has lasting play potential with your kids.

Skate on!

Just too short
This game was an awesome idea but got put out too quickly.This game was great until I beat it on the second or third day.The characters were really fun to play with but had 5 or 6 easy objectives each. But even though the levels were short the create-a-skater was worth buying the game for.It was a fun game but I suggest waiting for the new Tony Hawk. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

"If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones." So says the Temple of Doom movie poster, and--Lara Croft notwithstanding--Indiana Jones is still synonymous with glory, romance, treasure, and adventure. Previous Indiana Jones games were produced by the graphic-adventure game masters at LucasArts. This latest installment is an action-oriented romp made by the Collective, the same development house that produced the critically acclaimed Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Xbox. The Buffy game engine is a good fit for Indy, as he travels the world on a quest to prevent the discovery of an ancient Chinese secret that could spell the end of creation itself.

Such a quest should be easy for an adventurer like Indy, and with game controls that are as well laid out as these, it is easy. Indy can run, jump, shimmy up ropes, swing with his whip, and duke it out with nasty villains. True to the movies, Indy also has to navigate an almost constant stream of deathtraps. Caves full of traps, ruins full of traps, medieval castles filled with traps, and guess what you find in China, yes, more traps. It gets repetitive, but the game has some clever tricks in its floppy hat. For example, skulls make noise, so Indy can toss a few and watch crocodiles target them instead of him.

Indy can execute quick punch combinations to knock his foes out, or he can pick up weapons such as a chair, plank of wood, machete, or firearm. His famous whip can be used to disarm foes. The only problem is the camera, which is difficult to keep in the right position--you have complete control of it, but it's hard to manage a camera while you're fighting a martial arts expert, a Nazi with a gun, or a poacher keen on decapitating Indy.

The graphics are good, pleasantly reminding you of some of the movies' more memorable locales. The in-game Indy mug looks like Harrison Ford down to the chin scar. Other nice touches include how Indy has to actually pick up his hat if it falls off during a fight, and the little '30s plane flying over the aged and weathered world map. The music is pure John Williams, and the voice work is handled by convincing imitators. The guy they got for Indy, in particular, sounds a lot like Ford himself. Sadly no other movie characters of note appear in the game. (I was looking for John Rhys-Davies at least, because he seems to be in every video game that comes out.)

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb does right by its license and provides hours of entertainment for anyone who's ever wanted to relive the movies starring the most exciting adventurer alive. Lara Croft, eat your heart out because if gaming adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones. --Bob Andrews

Pros:

• True to the films
• Great graphics and fight controls
• Good voice acting

• Too many trap sequences
• Camera problems common to third-person action games

Before TEMPLE OF DOOM.
According to the Indiana Jones timeline, INDIANA JONES AND THE EMPEROR'S TOMB takes place immediately prior to the events in the movie INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. If you play the movie to it's conclusion, it fits the pieces together well. I'm not really a gamer, but have played more video games in the last few years than any other time in my life except when I was growing up with an Atari. I'm also a fan of Indiana Jones.

With that said, I really enjoyed playing this game. It wasn't terribly difficult, but there were quests in the game that were challenging to complete. The graphics acted up every now and again and didn't appear as defined as they probably could have, but I didn't have any major problems playing the game.

The game's story line goes something like this:Indy is approached by an Asia man who wants to hire him to find an item called the Dragon's Heart that is located in the lost tomb of the first emperor of China. The Nazis are looking for the item, too and mysterious employer wants Indy to find it first. Unbeknownst to Indy, this man from Asia is really in cahoots with the Nazis. Of course, Indy eventually learns of the plot is helped throughout the game by a ninja lady named Mei Ying. Indy travels from the jungles of Ceylon to Prague to Istanbul and finally to China. Along the way you get to fight and kill a ton of bad guys from ivory traders to Nazis to demon-possessed Chinamen; shoot fighter planes from the top of a gondola; spear a giant octopus; and tangle with a Frankenstein-type monster. All for fortune and glory, baby.

In the course of beating the game if you are successful in collecting all 30 artifacts (there are 3 in each level & you can go back and replay a level to collect them later if you wish) you will unlock an art gallery that displays all kinds of concept photos, sketches, and designs. Just by viewing these pictures you can get an idea of the development process because there are several sketches or photos (whole levels) that can be seen which aren't a part of the game. Besides these missing elements it is also rumored that the character of Abner Ravenwood (Marion Ravenwood's father) was to have been in the game, as well as a boat chase level.

onehotjedimom
Ok, are the other reviewers brainless?Lucas Arts should fire the makers 'The Collective' or at the very least not hire them again.The controls are akward, and the views are horrible and change at random.Another horrible feature, there is no way to save any part of the game -- mess up --tough, you do the level ALL over again.And what's with all of the 'loading' times?I haven't seen this many LONG loading times since playstation one.
My advice.Rent -- if you're really bored.Even on sale this game is not worth the effort.Well, maybe if you can get the game for free it MIGHT be worth your time.
Oh and by the way, I am also an 'advid' gamer.Rating -- only the creative guide book deserves the one star.

Great conversion from Platform to PC
I actually am an archaeologist, so I guess I have a special "thing" for Indy.But I'm also an avid gamer, and this game delivers the best of both of my passions.

If you are looking for the realism of Doom3, forget about it.This is a fantasy-style game, with gameplay emphasized more than realism.Taking the best from games like Tomb Raider (and leaving behind the mind-numbing back-tracking and key-hunts of this predecessor), Indy and the Emperor's tomb is fun from beginning to end.

It sounds silly, but being able to drop your weapons and just pick up a chair to smash your enemies is a rush that must be appreciated.You are never powerless, as random objects can often be used to bash in your oponents, and sometimes it's just best to use your fists and elbows to smash in those Nazis.

I ocassionally had to seek out a walkthough on the internet, since some level bosses had a "trick" that I just didn't get on my own.

In some ways, I would compare this game (favorably) to playing the hobbits in LOTR ROTK, possibly mixed with the Playstation classic Tomorrow Never Dies.Wonderful environments, lots of action, low gore (for the kiddies), and generally great gameplay.

I give it four stars instead of five, simply because the game can occasionally feel formulaic (not as immersive as some more realistic titles).But don't let this stop you from buying it.You won't be disappointed.

If you like the Indiana Jones Series you will like this game
When I recieved it I wasn't expecting much, but when I started playing it I soon got addicted.I am a fan of these type of games...Tomb Raider...Resident Evil...Silent Hill.I have to say that this game is enjoyable as well as challenging.If you are a fan of Indiana Jones, this is a must have game.

Solid game for Indy fans, but ends undramatically.
Many have already written on this game, so I'll try to avoid repeating what they've said, but ultimately, this game starts out strong and entertaining enough, but settles into a middle-ground groove that's neither bad, nor great, but not all too awe-inspiring as the game goes on.
The voice actor for Indiana Jones is passable, but not too convincing -- you can tell it's not Harrison Ford.
And unsurprisingly, it dusts off the long-lived stereotype of the dragon lady and at the end, Indiana gets the Asian (i.e. Chinese) girl, even though there's no plausible reason for her to have any sort of feelings for him -- she's little more than a toy doll for him to have his way with.
The ending is dull -- both the final boss battle and the ending cinematic are little reward for having ran, swung, punched and kicked your way through level after level, trap after trap.
Good if you're an Indiana Jones fan, but others should either rent or stay away altogether. ... Read more

Great Mat For Beginners But Get It On eBay!
This mat is great for beginners.It won't last too long for advance users but this mat is a great way for a beginners to learn how to play.Some people recommend duct tapping plywood on the bottom of the mat some it responds better, but if you get a mat anywhere, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND getting one on eBay.Usually, they are brand new and factory sealed.They usually come in a sets of two (one for you and a friend) and sell for about $8.50 like this one (either in XBox or PS2) and $15.95 for shipping (The Buy It Now price on eBay is usually $8.50 but you can still bid on it to save a couple of bucks).Shipping for these mats on amazon.com are $4.49 for 3-5 day shipping and $8.98 for two day shipping so you still come out ahead on eBay.I got a mat that retails for $130 (its sort of like the mat that sells for $99 here; its more expensive because it has extra padding and it will last longer) for $20 and $25 dollar shipping.For hardcore fans who really got some moves and play the DDR games a lot, eBay has the metal dance mats with the bar (looks exactly like the one in the arcades) for about $150 (not including shipping).Otherwise, this is an awesome mat but if you want to save money and get one for when a friend comes over, get one on eBay (if you get one on eBay, search ddr or search ddr extreme).

...What a shame...
This was the first kind of DDR mat i've ever bought for my DDR game when I got it about 8 months ago. These pads are durable, but better made for beginners. When I play heavy mode songs, I slide clear cut across the carpet, and I dont even push very hard. I reccomend actually buying an official Konami pad, because these stick to the floor better and stay in place. Of course, when I always play against someone, I end up against a wall and my pad rides into it, while my friend is in place the whole time. >>; Do not buy this if your a good DDR player. This is for beginners only.

I really only had a few problems with mine. Ive had them for 8 months and it hasnt ripped or anything. So sometimes the sensors get out of position.. but they do go back. My two pads are fine. Although I usually have to drag my pad back to the other side of the room after I play one heavy song. X_X;

A Little Tip
If you're really interested in DDR, I wouldn't recommend BUYING a pad, let alone a soft one, even a redoctane. You can BUILD a double pad, just like the arcades, for less than 1/5 of the price of ONE metal pad from any company. [...] I built one in 3 days, and it works like a charm, no problems, and it works just like the arcade!

Dance Pad
This pad is terrible! 2 days after i bought this the cord broke so there was no connection!

This is WONDERFUL!
Ok lots of people say that this is not a very good dance pad,BUT! I like it alot. I have used it maybe for like 6 months and it has pulled through for me. Now the only flaw i see in this mat is that it is very very very very sensitive. Never ever ever roll up your mat it will break the top button or the back button! It has happened to my freind and he has not used it since which is like about 12 months.Also, if your a begginer plz buy this pad it will help you alot but you should buy Dance pad revolution two when you buy this pad.It will help when you get better in the game. Cause dance pad revolution seems to slip and slide a bit on carpet. Please listen to this review if you dont you will have problems believe me! ... Read more

An Inside View
Throwdown is simply a wonderful inside view on what being a Mixed Martial Artist takes and how difficult it is to fight these guys. If you lay off the offense for a moment, your character taps out. if you want to force a KO on your opponent you have to work at it strenuously. Violence is not the major factor here. MMA combat is no more violent than boxing or hockey and nobody is trying to ban those sports. Throwdown accurately portrays MMA as a cross between wrestling and boxing. It has the strikes and strategy of Boxing's hard punches and wrestling's trategic grappling and joint locking. Each character has a specialty and a weakness, just like the real thing. However, because the GameCube can't learn from the user, the weaknesses are never fixed and the strengths never weaken. All in all, the price makes this a very desirable game. It may not take a great deal of time to become the champion or win the tournament but it will give you a great sense of what it is to be a fighter.

Great tutorial for your kids.
Are you worried that your little Billy isn't getting his recommended daily dosage of violence?Well, the fine people at Crave Entertainment have taken care of that problem for you. They've gotten together with UFC to bring you their newest creation, "Throwdown".

With a lot of effort and determination, your child just might learn what it takes to be the most vicious fighter of them all.Whether it's a kick to the stomach, a good ol' fashioned body slam or repeated blows to the head, this game has it all for you.Don't worry if your kid doesn't enjoy fighting that much.The taste can slowly be acquired if enough hours of gameplay are put into it.Perhaps those children who can't stomach mindless violence might at least get a kick out of watching their player roll around on the ground with another man while wearing the skimpiest of shorts.

Overall, I would highly recommend this gaming title for everyone in your family.As you may have noted, this title is NOT rated M for Mature.It is simply rated T for Teen because beating someone into unconsciousness is something that doesn't deserve to be appreciated only by adults.Our teens deserve to experience that kind of joy as well.

ufc throwdown
its gameplay is lacking and slow its turn based and is confusingit stinks

R U UFC?
This game is a good fighter for those who arent big fighter fans. If u luv games like tekken and street fighter, then this game will be so easy it makes u sick. However, if u hate those games or want to get started, this game will be perefect. Or, if yur like me, love the ... out of UFC this game is awesome. By the way, I played it on all 3 major platforms and the Ps2 and XBox versions arent that good. The Gamecube version is the version were this game reigns! So if u are a beginner of fighting games or like the UFC. Pick this one up. ... Read more

SPYRO ROCKS!
I have all the Spyro PS1 games and they rock! The best PS1 games you can buy.
I have Gateway To Glimmer instead of Ripto's Rage though, but they are exactly the same but with diff names and covers.
All the worlds rock, and it's nice to see more friends to help Spyro on his way to beat Ripto- and when you finally beat him, the game still isn't over! How cool? There are many skill points to earn,a amazing new level- the cool Dragon Shores, and a permanent fireball!!
If you have a PS1, you have to play this game!

Spyro!
Spyro fun aholoic sweet game!!! Very fun but not hard, it can be very very easy but it is alot of tottaly wicked fun!

Great, but not Insomniac's Best
I was a little bit disappointed with this Spyro.Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game, but Insomniac could've put a little more effort into it.With only three worlds and about twenty-one levels, this game may only be for true Spyro fans, but, I strongly encourage you to buy this game.

Spyro second adventure!
The first Spyro was great game already, but this game beats it by far. With loads of new features and tons of new characters, this is one of the best Spyro games out there. In this game you get to travel through 4 new worlds with over 30 colorful levels with your old buddy Sparx and your new companion, Hunter, the cheetah. You must collect over 14 tallismans and 60 orbs to finally come face to face with Ripto. Also in these game, meet Moneybags. He can open up doors or drop bridges for you at a "small fee". Some new features in this include some fun mini-games, the ability to swim, and some new power-ups like the super charge, super flame breath, and super flying power. Here an overview of the game:

+Improved graphics 8.5/10
+Challenging but not too challenging boss battles 8/10
+Autosave 10/10
-Not enough new abilities 7/10
-Levels are a bit small 7.5/10
-Storyline is a bit bland 7/10

Overall, a great Spyro game. It provides lots of entertainment and lots of fun mini-games, therefore, it's a MUST-HAVE!

The Best FPS since Halo!
Red Faction 2 is the best FPS since Halo because of the willing to blow a hole in a wall and blow other people to pieces! This game has excellent multiplayer and story mode is a little short, but all in all it as close as you can get to Halo!

A great game and not a byest opinion
Ok, heres the deal. I have this game for myself of course and i have played this game for all of the systems available for it. First ill start with gamecube this is the best for it. No doubt about it, its graphics are awsome and theres no bad about it! Its so addicting. Ok the other systems. X box lets just say poor graphics and even worse gameplay. Good for people who love sucky games (meaning dont buy it for x box). Ok well it is a byest opinion, well it kicks butt for gamecube best gameplay. Get it!!!!

Get this game if your a PATRON of GOOD shooter games!
Red Faction 2 falis to disappoint. The single player is short, but fun. The GEO-MOD rocks, no question. My favorite thing is juat a plain old deathmatch. The guns are sick! The anti-personall rocks, and so does the nano and wasp. The $50 price tag is a bit much for a game that has been out for this long. Also dont let the "M" rating get in the way of FUN! GET THIS GAME

I really wish I'd read the reviews first...
News Flash! The Original Is Better Than The Sequel!

I won't bother to go through a diatribe. Simply search for "red faction ii review" in google.com to get as many as you like. Let's just hit the high (or as it may be, LOW) points of this game:

1) No thought required - just shoot. No puzzles, no intrigue, no story to speak of. Just kill, kill, kill. Yawn.

2) Short - very short. I paid money for this?

3) No saving your game. The game only saves at the "transistion" point between levels. If you're in a tough spot and die, you're going to have to go through the entire level again to get to that spot - at which point if you die again, you have go through the entire level again...repeat ad nauseum. Who thought this was a good idea? Having to repeat long stretches of "easy" parts to get back to where you died...but I said no diatribe, didn't I?

4) No real thought required...but I said that already didn't I? It bears repeating.

5) No saving your game - yes, I know I just said that too, but it REALLY IS ANNOYING. I think this just sucks all the joy (what there was, anyway) right out of the game.

6) THQ, the publishers of this disappointing sequel have no support section for this game on their site! Their website simply says "We have not yet posted any Knowledge Base articles for this product."What, they thought no one would have questions? Or maybe they figured there was no point, since no one was going to buy the game after the reviews came out. You can contact their support section through email, though. Presumeably they will answer.

7) Volition, the developers of this game, have no support and no way to contact them that I could find. That's your first clue to the quality of the product, folks. Their website just loops you back into the redfaction2.com site, which has no useful information on it - just a sales pitch. BTW - Volition is a wholly owned subsidiary of THQ, Inc. Hmmm - like father, like son.

One gets the impression that this was a rush job to take advantage of the fond memory that we all had of the original Red Faction.

In conclusion, pass on this one. Maybe if enough people DON'T buy this, the next game will be better. I'm pretty sure that enough people have already complained about it. I really wish I'd read the reviews before I bought this turkey - it would have saved me some bucks, and a lot of dissapointment.

RED FACTION 2
This is a COOL game.The best part of this game is the GEO-MOD engine it lets you destroy almost anything...There are 3 levels of difficulty,it has a fun multiplayer mode thats the best part of the game you get to play deathmatch, bagman, and capture the flag to name some plus you get to make your own computer players with there own strengths and weaknesses there is A WHOLE LOT OF WEAPONS like the presicion rifle to the ral gun. This game is good butfairly short if your looking for a fun shooter with a in depth story RED FACTION 2 IS FOR YOU!!! ... Read more

Barbie Groovy Games
Barbie Groovy Games is a very entertaining game, but it gets boring after a while.First of all, I would have to say that this game is centered on young girls, as do most Barbie games.The graphics definitely present a girly theme.But, this is not your average Barbie game.There is no designing of Barbie's wardrobe invovlved.This is not another poor excuse for an action game where you have to manuver Barbie around with limited skills to use.This is a collection of fun mini-games to play by yourself or with a friend.
Many of the mini-games teach girls problem-solving and logic skills, which is very good.But, be aware that this is not a game that will have you hooked for months.It is just a fun little game to play with a friend.Listen to the words a friend.If you have more than one friend over your house this game will not be a good choice because only two people can play at once.I have summarized my review in the following list of pros and cons.

Pros:

It is one of the few games centered toward young girls.
It is more fun than the average Barbie game.
It teaches girls problem-solving and logic skills.
It is pretty entertaining, sometimes even to older girls.

Cons:

Boys will probably not want to even go near it, never mind play it.
It gets boring after a while.
It is not good if you have more than one friend over.

Very entertaining and exciting for a 4-year old
We received this game yesterday and my 4-year old was a little frustrated at first because there are so many games, but once we maneuvered through it together, she easily got the hang of it and is already playing all of the games. She gets very excited when she "wins" and I think this game would be just as entertaining for an older girl as well. Having nine games, they can move onto another when they get bored with or master one. Great game, and at this price would make a great inexpensive gift!

Good one for the younger kids. . .
My 6 year old daughter loves to play it.The only problem is that my 3 year old son is constantly trying to borrow it from her!!Great games and easy to play.Highly recommend for the 8 yrs. and under crowd.

Really Easy Game for Young Girls
I bought this for my niece for her birthday. She loved it. I checked with her yesterday and she still loves it. Her mom says that it is an easy game for young girls that has longer gameplay than most. It is similar to the Mario Party game series; but with cute graphics and Barbie. I thing it was a good purchase. Great price too.

My 6 year old daughter loves it!

Suprisingly good
All right, I'll right this review.Its embarrasing to say this cuz I like the hardcore violence in games like Halo, Red DEad REvolver, Fable, and Red Faction.Its hard to say that this kiddie game is right up there with them.The graphics are incredible, the controls are smooth, the race tracks are cool (but the soundtrack sucks, I'm a Metal Maniac and this game has pop) and most of all, It's fun!This game is great for anyone who just wants to have fun.

This game rules
This is my favorite game. It's so fun, because you go realy fast!!! My favorite person is Andy. You can do triple tricks. There is a lot of adventures.

Please make a part 3.
Now this is what I call "cinematic racing".Sometimes,things happen that causes changes in the courses.In gold rush rapids,each time you enter the mine,you go through a different path.And you actually see how right before you eyes.There are 8 tracks in all.I think you should get this game.

Simple, Good, Fun
I'm not much into racing type games so I didn't have too many expectations when I rented this game and find myself pleasantly surprised.There are many new things you can unlock as you progress through the races and the visuals are outstanding.I especially like the fact that each lap around the track changes sometimes in subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways.All in all this was a very enjoyable game although I would recommend renting it or waiting till the price drops to $20.

Splashdown Rides gone wild
I played Splashdown Rides Gone Wild at my best freinds house and I loved it I wanted it so badly I did fourteen chores in a day to earn it the next day. And thatis a big deal to me becuase I usually only get one chore done in a week! My mom left like an hour ago to go buy it and I can't wait till she comes home and I can play it! ... Read more

Dont pass this one up!!!
Best graphics of any game out there. Smooth gameplay. Easy to control characters. As with any great game you always feel like it was short, you just want it to continue. Some tough puzzles to solve. Several optional skill challenges that are difficult but not impossible. Great storyline. Replay potential. This game will leave you wanting more.

4.5, really--- They need voices!
This is a great game. It is easy enough to keep me interseted and hard enough to be a challange. I'm good at tetris, sonic, and this game.
You play Sphynx (he has a tail!) and Tut (who eventually gets turned into a mummy). The story line is still developing but evidently the Solar Disks were able to transport people to other locations (worlds?).
Sphynx's mission isn't exactly clear at first, except to get Osiris'(good god of the dead) sword and that's when Horus (Osiris' child in myth but i don't think they are using him as such here)gets lost. You then have to find your was back through the portals to Heliopolis (an actual place) and end up saving Tut by interupting an evil-ish ceremony. Your new mission is to recover the canopic jars (hold the organs of the deceased). oh yeah, and Tut's brother who killed him, Akenaten, well, he's really this vampyrish looking guy who hasn't been named so far. I hope he isn't Set because thats not what Set looks like...
There are lots of little puzzles and what not throughout the game and its fun, but they need voices. Its all in subtitles but if you're lucky, the character might make some kind on noise when you hit the the button to talk.

Great game!!
Visuals are great, and it is a lot of fun to play.It involves problem solving as well as fighting, and is just an all-around great game.

This game is awesome.
this game has amazing graphics and a good story line. it is not too hard but not to easy and keeps your mind challenged throughout. the only problem i had with sphinx and the cursed mummy is that there is no voice overs and you have to read every thing. overall its a solid action adventure game took me about 16 hours not including attempts that i never saved.

4.5 stars....great game!
This game is fantastic!

The graphics are gorgeuos, and gameplay is a lot of fun. I could not put my controller down!

Its one of those games that makes you think the entire way, solving puzzles, how to beat the boss monsters. The puzzles are not too hard, not too easy....just hard enough to make it fun. I only needed internet help for 2 puzzles.

Played at least 30-40 hours in the end.

A must have. ... Read more

Best Game Ever!
The Hulk is the best video game I ever played!My favorite part is when I faced Half Half, he is a human parasite, because he feeds on people.I think every one would like to play this game.I think everyone shouldbuy it!
Robert

It's worth buying for $20 bucks.
Everything that needs to be said was said, so I'll just say a few things.

First, this game is unbelievably repetative.All you do is smash through everything like some mindless creature.There is no style to the way you fight.It's just a bunch of punches, thunderclaps, and ground smashes.This game is in terrible need of a true fighting style.

Second, the Grey Hulk is not different enough from the green Hulk, so what's the point?All he does it talk crap constantly.

In any case, if you just want a game full of mindless violence, then you will definitely enjoy this.

Chalk one up for the "Movie to Game gone BAD"...
Okay,let's get straight to the point:The Hulk is a great comic book! There has been an attempt to make a video game on the Hulk but it sucked eggs BIG TIME ! This is a BIG improvement but suffers a lot from repetetiveness. The only fun parts are when you fight bosses who are super villains and the military.Being Bruce Banner is just a drag. All you can do is crouch and roll(aside from punching).It's impossible to be stealthy! I got through the game with an invicibility cheat ( Thank God!).The game is also way Too short!The upside to this game is that the graphics are pretty good ( especially the cinematics )and there is good voice acting. The environments are destructible but not fully destructible.Rent this game with another game to check for yourself but you'll find it pretty disapointing...

cop chases, nice cars, sound good already
i only had this game for three days and from what a played let me tell you it's good. fast ferraris, mclarens and much more then i want to write. want some fun, get the game and be on the run........

Best game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tis game is 1000000000000000 times better than underground2!
its graphics are oustanding and the cars are so exotic! ive had
xbox for a year and havent found anything like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if your interested in cool cars-2 words...GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun at first but boring after a while.
I thought this game was cool at first but after the first week it got extremley boring. Whats up with the cars driving on the wrong side of the road. The graphics are ok and the good thing is the custom soundtracks because the games soundtrack sucks. Instead of buying this one buy underground 2

Possibly the best nfs ever!
I can't see how anyone can say anything negative about this game. The graphics are excellent, almost as good as underground, and gameplay is great. Personally I thought that this game had well mixed simulation and arcade driving physics. I mean you can still do a powerslide using the handbrake, but you don't go into annoying oversteer like in nfs porshe. And now to come to the title point of the game. Hot pursuit! This has been vastly improved from the original tilte. In nfs3 you could only race against 1 other racer while in hot pursuit mode, but now you can race against a full grid. Plus you earn points from gettting away from the police. It's a bit easier to get away now, but if you get caught once thats it. And you see a great movie of your driver getting hauled into a police car by about 6 armed cops. This cracked me up the first time I saw it. The cops use an even greater variety of weapons to stop you, including a helicopter that drops bombs onto the road! So you end up driving on a winding course, trying to pass your opponents while escaping from police and dodging other police coming from in front of you, and avoiding flaming bombs dropped from helicopters.(and pushing the cops and opponents into them!)
The only complaints I have to make are that the cars are not realistic in their stats(like a ferrari 360 spider can outrun a Porshe turbo in this game, while in real life it couldn't), and that your opponents never seem to get busted by the police.
If you own a PC or PS2 you should definetly get this. You'll love it if you liked nfs4 and nfs3, or any other arcade racers, or even if you liked the racing part of underground. But if you liked the great physics in nfs5 you may be dissapointed at nfshp2's fast arcade style gameplay.

High-quality racing
This game provides a lot of races, half of them involving being chased by the cops as you race.Sure, the cops cheat a little (going from 0-120 mph in a second or two), but it's fun anyway.The controls are pretty good and the steering feels tight.Course design is generally pretty interesting, with lots of different paths as you go through the levels.Graphics aren't the greatest, but they get the job done and they run at a constant 30 frames per second.There are a lot of cars and tracks to unlock with your winnings, and there's a four-player multiplayer mode.Overall, quite a good game and worth picking up (especially since it became a Platinum Hit). ...

Amazon.com Review

Star Wars Starfighter is finally here, and, as expected,it serves up Wookiee-sized portions of action and adventure. Flyingfrom either a first- or third-person perspective, players must fighttheir way through 14 sprawling missions that weave together the livesof three seemingly unrelated pilots. Set during the same time period asStar Wars: Episode I, the events in Starfighter parallelthose of the movie, letting players participate in the conflict againstthe Trade Federation from a slightly skewed perspective.

Although the main missions can be completed in an afternoon, it cantake weeks to earn the bronze, silver, and gold medals that unlock thegame's bonuses. These include extra missions, a few two-player modes,and the ability to choose any ship for each mission (including DarthMaul's incredibly powerful Infiltrator).

Most of the missions are intense, involving efforts like racing throughan enemy-infested canyon or defending a base against a ceaselessprocession of droid air and ground forces. The game engine can throw anoverwhelming number of 3-D objects on the screen at once--such as amission where more than 50 hostile fighters swarm nearly a dozen largecapital ships. The beauty of these large battles is mesmerizing, withlasers crisscrossing, massive explosions thundering all around, andconstant radio chatter alerting players to new threats.

The controls for the various fighters and bombers are extremely basic,and combat is straightforward, but there is always so much going on atonce that the game mechanics almost need to be simple. The only realdrawbacks to the game are a few bugs that occasionally crop up andprevent us from completing missions, and the fact that planetarymissions have a low "ceiling" that prevents us from climbing very high.Even with these faults, the game exceeded our expectations, and noarcade, action, or Star Wars fan with a PlayStation2 will wantto miss it. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• No Jar Jar
• Stunning graphics
• Exciting, massive missions

Cons:

• Some mission-stopping bugs
• Simplistic combat will disappoint simulation fans looking forsomething along the lines of X-Wing Alliance

Needs Some Work
To tell you the truth, I disapprove of this game.I like the graphics, yes, but I strongly sugggest one of the other Star Wars games.It isn't very fun because of the difficulty of dodging enemy fire.The level in the desert is my favorite.Other things that I like are how it is:
(1) in third person
(2) starship weapons
(3) nice graphics

I suggest that Lucas Arts puts in squad-based air fighting or make the game a litle easier and longer.Still, I am a big fan of Star Wars.Good luck on the next game Lucas Arts!

Star Wars Starfighter is a Phenomenon
Overall, the graphics are great, the story seems original and the characters are fun.The wingmen commands are great, being able to fight alongside other pilots.Its levels are very well-designed and quite extensive.It expands on the Star Wars universe very well.Its shortcomings are the dogfighting action.Its flight modle is not great.You don't feel like you are really flying.It seems you are floating with speed.It could have used the flight model as Rogue Leader (one of the greatest space combat games ever!).The last level is very disappointing to me.I was expecting something like a military like attackprocedure kind of thing.Not a flimsy attack with a few Bravo squadron pilots and just about forty droid fighters.I was expecting like 20 naboo pilots and hundreds or at least some high number of droids.Lucasarts could have made getting revenge on a pirate scum a mission just before the last level on some other mission.All in all pretty nice game but because of the flight modle, the fun wont last.When you turn it doesn't even ban, just turns like its on ice or something.Really disgusting flight model.I got this game years ago (2001?) and is reviewing now becuase of bordeom, I have no life.

Wonderful game, not just another flight simulator.
I had already mastered Star Wars Rogue Squadron when I got this game.Starfighter is much better.It is very realistic.You get recharging shields, and only one life!That is a real pro for me.You don't get the unrealistic business of your x-wing crashing and resurrecting.However, the recharging shield I mentioned earlier makes you as hard to beat as in games where you have 3 lives.
P.S. I actually got the PC version, but it's basically the same.

Star Wars Starfighter: My Review
I received this game as a gift for my birthday in November of 2001, along with METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY. I completed the first mission and quickly fell out of it. The game sat on my shelf, un-played, until November of 2003 - two full years later. The only reason that I picked it up again was so I could properly beat it and put it to bed once and for all. I had recently decided that I had to many incomplete games, and was refusing to purchase another until I had finished all of the ones that I had.

One thing is for sure, this game grew on me. I wasn't a fan of it in November of 2001, but I sure am now. Probably most comparable to STAR WARS: X-WING VS. TIE FIGHTER for the PC (which I love), this game features you piloting one of three characters on a variety of different missions on a variety of different worlds.

In game graphics are really good. Ships look very detailed and accurate to the specifications that the movies set forth. Controls are perfect - I've got no complaints.

While missions rarely are ever anything more than "Shoot a bunch of stationary objects while avoiding fire from various fighters", they always manage to be fun. They do, however, also manage to be frustrating at times. For one thing, you seem to be the only competent member of your squadron in the air at any given time. If you don't complete mission objectives, they won't get done. Asking for covering fire from teammates will help you very little, if at all. And despite always hearing your teammates cries for help, enemies tend to single you out pretty consistently and you are frequently bombarded by a large amount of laser fire, missiles, etc. This alone definitely hurts the final score.

Another thing that hurts the score is the length. While the game consists of fifteen missions, very few will take you more than one try to complete.

The story takes place around the events of STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE, and while it is better than the movie, it isn't anything to write home about. The introduction of the character works well enough (Character A's story will overlap with and serve as Character B's, effectively introducing the latter character), once it expands beyond that it tends to fall flat. Events come off as unmotivated, and above all confusing.

The presentation here is very high. From detailed level locations to John Williams' classic score, nothing here fails to impress.

All in all, I do believe that I should have given this game more of a chance two years ago. It was fun while it lasted (which wasn't very long), and it definitely made me want to go out and pick up STAR WARS: JEDI STARFIGHTER, which is something that I was totally against a few days prior to playing this game again.

A great flying game
This game is one of the best flying games in the world! It's always fun to play when I'm bored. About 15 missions with 3 pilots to battle your way to save Naboo from the Trade Federation. The great graphics and many bad guys are cool. This is like real life. The last level is the best where you and your team battle with at least 40 bad guys flying everywhere in space. If you like Star Wars or any type of flying game then this is for you! ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The keys to a successful basketball video game are its controls,artificial intelligence, and pacing. NBA Courtside 2002 excels in allthree areas, with only a few problems. One is the defensive AI, which oftenleaves itself open to dunks and fast breaks, and is generally a slouch when itcomes to rebounds. This can be remedied with the higher difficulty levels, butthat makes the computer a flawless shooter, even from behind the line.

The controls are good, but take some getting used to if you've spent a lot oftime with other basketball simulations. Players use the C stick on thecontroller to pass the ball. No button pressing is necessary; just point thestick at the desired player and the ball is away. Unfortunately, this samesystem is used to select defensive players, and that can be difficult,especially if the action is moving fast and furious. The game does feature quitea few game modes: practice, exhibition, season, and even an interesting modethat takes place on top of the roof.

As you might expect, the player models are smooth, crisp, and photorealistic.The animations are detailed with nary a slowdown or glitch. Even the crowd looksgood, and benched players are likewise in full 3-D. The audio isn't soimpressive, however. Never have I heard such uninspired and slow commentary--itoften seems to be describing plays from another game, or worse, talks aboutplays that happened 30 seconds prior to the current action. Not a game breaker,but definitely not as good as the competition.

NBA Courtside 2002, aside from the minor flaws described above, is stilla stellar entry in the basketball fold and an asset for the Nintendo GameCubelibrary. It's worth the purchase now, and with a few fixes, it'll be a realcontender next year. --Bob Andrews

Pros:

• Fast action; good fundamentals
• Terrific graphics

• Slow, inaccurate commentary

Reviews (60)

Fun... for a Ten Year Old
NBA Courtside's an entertaining game, a very easy game to learn and play.The biggest drawback of this game is that it's just too simple.There's practically no skill involved in playing this game.There's very little control over dunks, blocks, shooting, and everything else.

The players and their likenesses are in the game, but in terms of skill and everything else, it's just not there.Players' real-life talents and abilities are not relfected in the game, with the exception of Shaq being a poor free-thrower.

The graphics are also very generic.The crowd looks very bad.The two announcers are those who call Clippers games, and are decent, but their limited phrases get old really fast.

One of the minor redeeming qualities of the game is that you can create your own player.This feature is great in that you can customize a large list of physical characteristics about the player.Of course, when it comes to basketball skills, the attributes aren't specific enough to make a noticable impact on game-play.

So if you're looking for a very simple, unrealistic but easy-to-play basketball game without much customization, this one's for you!If you'd actually like skill to be involved in the outcome of a game, look elsewhere.

Basic Basketball title
While this game may be pretty fun, other companys offer so much more and for so much less.This is the prime reason this game was overlooked.If you're looking to buy this, then go buy NBA 2k3 instead.It's waaaay better.

why buy this?
this game is the absolute worst game i've ever played bcause...

Pros:
There are none

Cons:
Players make imposible dunks
Graphics are horible
Slow gameplay
Fans are real wierd( they take your attention of the game)

overall the game is real bad

TOO HARD!
I was in the store and I was looking at the games and there was NBA Courtside 2002. My Mom was with me and she was going to get it for me because it was on sale. But I told her I would want to rent it first. I AM SO GLAD I DID! the menu is hard to under stand! the D is harder then geting a computer with nothing to read or tell you hoe to put it togethere! And the dunks look so odd. There taking steps before they get to the hoop and there not moving! NBA*Street is yhe only other NBA game I'd played for GameCube and I have.If you like fast running, high jumping, crazy dribbaling game NBA*Street is the way to go.

DON"T BUY NBA COURTSIDE 2002!YOU WILL HATE IT!

Gamecube Gives a bad impression
When I purchased this game I thought it would end up being one of the best basketball sims I've ever played. Instead, it turned out being one of the most unrealistic games with fair gameplay and outrageous stats. The average player, whether it is Austin Croshere or Shaq averages around sixty points a game and twenty rebounds and fifteen assists. The league leaders average over ninety ppg. The transactions are so unrealistic and you could trade every single player on the Clippers for every single player on the Lakers, or you could create a tean of franchise players. The average score in a game is 200-190. You can steal and block balls as easy as you can say 1-2-3. Forget about this one and do yourself a favor. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Spyro is a cute purple dragon in a bit of a pickle. Each of Spyro's dragon friends has fallen victim to the nefarious Gnasty Gnorc, who has turned them into crystals. Accompanied by Sparx the dragonfly, Spyro sets out to free his buddies, while collecting gems and dragon eggs. Sparx also serves as Spyro's health-o-meter, glowing gold when Spyro is healthy and turning dusky green as he tires. To boost his energy, Spryo can blast docile creatures with fire, turning them into butterflies, which Sparx transforms into much-needed fuel.

This title has bright graphics in six well-developed worlds, each with several subworlds, including bogs, deserts, and ice worlds. Unlike some action games, in Spyro the Dragon the enemies are more fun than frightening. In the Peace Keepers world, for example, Spyro must burn down the monster soldiers' tent, sending one of the minions running out, quaking with fear or, if you're lucky, dropping his drawers and shooting a moon.

Spyro's movements (fire breathing, gliding, jumping, and climbing) require entry-level gaming skills. For this reason, Spyro the Dragon is an excellent title for youngsters or less experienced players, who want to play without having to master complex movement combinations. --Kasty Thomas

Pros:

• Large worlds provide hours of game playing
• Variety of scenarios
• Engaging graphics

• Low game skill requirements may prove less challenging for expert players

i played it with kasty thomas in arizona and had a ball.
it is easily contrloed and i am inexperienced ,lol.but i played it and thought it was funny.i miss kasty too.

This game rocks!!!
spyro is a cool little dragon off to defeat nasty nork and save the dragon relms while reclaiming the gems nork stole on the way. Explore the different worlds and defeat bosses which range from a giant robot to a sheep on stilts!

Great Game!
This game is really good, but not the best of all my games.The best is Spyro, Year of the Dragon.

Wonderful!
This game is byfar my favorite Spyro game! I am hoping to beat it in the next few days and I am saying it is king of hard but VERY VERY fun!

4.5 stars! Classic!
Ah, Spyro! Released in 1998 for the PS1, Spyro is the first entry of many. [Although, only the first three were any good, because the newer ones were owned by an poor company.]

Graphics: 9/10: Horrible by today's standards, but very good by 1998 standards. Colorful and clear old-school 3-D graphics.

Music:10/10: Pretty catchy, nothing really grinds on your ears.

Sound: 8/10: Pretty good.

Gameplay:9.5/10: You control Spyro, the PO'd dragon, through many worlds. There he must collect gems, rescue dragons, fight enimies, bosses, and other dangers, and also use his trademark flame and charge moves. This game is a bit easy, but it's very entartaining.

The game costs about 10$ about now, so buy it! ... Read more

river city ransom - 47 dollars is over priced
I bought this game the other day at gamestop for 17.99 , it's not that rare you can find it , don't buy it for that price, your paying too much for so little.

other wise this is game rules

Poor Port to the GBA
River City Ransom for the NES was a classic game.However, the port to GBA brought no effort into making this game better or functional for a handheld.Atlus Software looked to cash in on a popular title and spent the minimal effort necessary to create this cartridge.

I'm not going to criticize what RCR is as a game.But here's what I think you should be aware of before purchasing the GBA version.

- Poor menus.The game immediately begins with two choices, "Story" and "Manage Data."The Manage Data option doesn't even allow you to load a game...you first need to begin a new game and then load.I'd think this could have been improved.

- Screen errors.The game plays in sort of a letterbox mode, but your computer partner and opponents are able to appear below this black bar, and run around offscreen.I believe I remember this bug from the original, but it shouldn't have made it into this updated version.

- Dual-button jump.The GBA has 4 buttons A,B,L,R like the SNES...so I can't understand why I still need to push AB at the same time to jump.L and R aren't even used during actual gameplay.The GBA form makes dual-button moves trickier than a NES controller, and I wish Atlus would have considered that.

I do enjoy River City Ransom as a game, but the presentation and delivery makes me reconsider this purchase.It's sad to see developers offering no effort in the delivery of a title like this, instead choosing to sell the name and hope to cash in with fans.

----------Great Game, But Too SHORT-------
I bought this game two days ago, and i beat it.Its fun the whole game, but too easy.Im a little angry with the length. Slick, the final boss, is easier then you would think, and you don't even have to free your girlfriends.I suggest you rent this game before you buy it.

Classic!!
I remember I was really little when I played this game. In Asia, who doesn't know this game?
I love it. One point is off tho because this game is toooooooo short. I finished the whole game in 2 hours.

Pretty good game
River City Ransom Ex is a radically enhanced version of the cult classic NES side-scrolling fighter that tries to be faithful to its progenitor roots. In River City Ransom Ex, you can still play as Ryan or Alex, but the game's real allure is customizing your own characters and recruiting a three-deep hoodlum posse of your own. Players can customize everything from characters' physical appearances to NPC A.I. to in-game physics.
Unfortunately, the original formula of super-deformed deviant tiny boppers and gameplay variety loses its charm amiss all the new enhancements and customizations. Many of the new techniques look cool, but they're way too powerful. Once you've earned enough money to buy a few techniques the game is essentially over. There isn't any incentive to build up and customize your characters at all. Despite the flaw, River City Ransom Ex is a decent addition to the handheld fighter genre, and if players can discipline themselves not to buy many of the all-powerful techniques, River City Ransom Ex can be a cool gaming experience. ...

Terrible game
As a big fan of comic book gaming, I looked forward to playing a Batman game. Boy was I disappointed.First off, this game actually looks great, the graphics are some of the nicest I've seen on the small screen.That being said, the game play is impossible.Many times your objective is not obtainable due the camara angles, which are the worst of any game I've ever played.If your looking for a good comic book games for the Xbox, see X-Men Legends or Spiderman.Return this game as fast as possible!!!
