Editorial Review

Most attempts to tamper with the basic gameplay of Tetrishave fallen flat on their faces, but Tetris Plus is actually adecent take on the timeless classic. You can tackle a basic solo game ofTetris, challenge a friend in two-player mode, or go directly tothe best portion of the game: puzzle mode.

In puzzle mode, playerscontrol blocks as they descend from the top to the bottom of the screen.As they fall, you can spin blocks so that they land next tocorresponding colors at the bottom of the screen. Gameplay is just likethe original only with a few major twists. The bin that holds the piecesat the bottom of the screen starts out partially filled, while a littleprofessor character climbs on top of the stack. Your job is to clearlines of blocks so that the professor can reach the exit at the bottomof the bin before a spiked ceiling smacks him in the head. Two playerscan also duke it out in puzzle mode, sending cleared lines to theiropponent's bin. This isn't the best version of Tetris we've everplayed, but it does still manage to offer a lot of entertainment for itslow price. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Several types of play
• Good two-player mode

• Mediocre graphics

Classic Tetris with a twist
Well, almost. The developers added a few new twists, the most interesting of which is the puzzle mode. Each puzzle level begins with the professor standing on a different pattern of blocks. You've got to clear the blocks out from under him to get him to the bottom. If you don't figure out the right way to solve this puzzle, he climbs to the top of the blocks you're stacking up. The game's over when the professor and the descending spiked ceiling collide. This version of the game is entertaining and even challenging, although after a while you begin to wonder why you're trying to rescue a guy who insists on climbing to his death. Other new additions include an edit mode that lets you create and save your own puzzles. A split-screen mode enables two people to play Tetris at the same time without competing against one another. In the regular VS mode, you can still play the computer or a friend. As with most new puzzle games, you can send blocks to your opponents screen when you clear a certain amount from your own -- in this case, two rows of blocks cleared from your screen means two rows of blocks sent to your opponent. If you like Tetris and you1re looking for a familiar, addictive game, this is the answer. Tetris Plus hasn't revolutionized puzzle games, but it's still fun.

Probably the best Tetris sequel
Tetris became an instant classic when it was packaged with the Game Boy in 1989. But the most interesting thing about the game becoming so successful is the fact that it spawned so many sequels - each of which was unique in its own way. One of these sequels was Tetris Plus, in which the objective of the game was to save a professor from being smashed by a spiked ceiling, rather than scoring lines like in traditional Tetris games. How does this change of pace work out for the series? Read on and see.

PROS:
-The graphics here are much better than those in the Game Boy game of the same name.
-In addition to the new "rescue the professor" mode which is the main attraction of the game, there is the classic Tetris mode you should know and love.
-Like in most Tetris titles, there's a two-player mode (WELL worth checking out.)

CONS:
-The music, while very good, isn't nearly as catchy as the classical Russian music featured in the original Game Boy game.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a fine addition to the Tetris library. If you're a fan of puzzle games, then Tetris Plus is well worth checking out. Sure, it never got the recognition and popularity that the original did, but it's still excellent. Don't pass it by if you're a Playstation owner.

Tetris Plus
A very fun game if you have a partner play with you!!!

Editorial Review

You want weird? Look no further than Oddworld: Abe'sOddysee. Mild-mannered factory worker Abe has discovered that hisemployers at Rupture Farms are planning to use his fellow Mudokons asthe main ingredient in their latest product, Mudokon Pops. Like anydecent Mudokon, Abe aims to rescue his peers.He also is determined toseek justice in his battle to bring down the corrupt Rupture Farms. Youhelp Abe carry out his heroic duties by possessing enemies,participating in action sequences worthy of an Indiana Jonesflick, and talking to fellow Mudokons using the game's impressive"gamespeak" feature, which allows multiple characters to communicatewith each other using your control pad.

The graphics in Abe's Oddyssee convey a unique personality, whichis often lacking in platform action games. Still, a few pretty gameenvironments will not distract you from the devious puzzles scatteredthroughout the game. Fortunately, you never run out of lives inOddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Instead, Abe rematerializes immediatelyafter you "die" and the game continues from the last checkpoint youreached. This approach encourages exploration, which you'll want to doanyway since this is one of the most beautiful 2-D games we've seen.--T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Gorgeous graphics and cut-scenes
• Challenging puzzles
• Entertaining story

• Many puzzles require perfect timing, which can be difficult tomaster

Features

• Side-scrolling platform game
• Guide Abe past hazards to escape from certain death
• Brain-teasing puzzles and lightning-fast traps
• Use Game Talk to convince your fellow Mudokons to follow you to safety
• For 1 player

Terrible game!!!
Oddworld Abe's Oddysee is the most overrated game on the PS1! Let me tell you why it's so bad. For starters, it's main selling-point is humor, and this ''humor'' is mostly made out of repetitive and boring fart jokes. Second...it's insainly dificult! You can't fight back. So this means you have to run away every time a bad guy sees you. The frustation doubles when you consider that you die after getting shot once. To top it all off the story is supposed to make you root for Abe. (the main character) But do you? NO!! Because he's extremly stupid and unlikable like the rest of his race! (Abe is trying to save them from becomeing food.) I say they deserve it. this is a bad game folks, very bad. Oh...and the voice overs are bad to.

A very challenging game
This game requires skill, luck and intelligence to solve all the puzzles in the game. It's a good thing to have infinite lives, but it's annoying to start over and over when you die. I highly reccomend this game to anyone who likes a challenge every now and then.

Oddworld=Funworld
I remember hearing about the Oddworld series when it first came out, and from what I heard a lot of people seemed to like it. But I didn't really think about it too much, however a couple days ago I got this game as a gift. I have to say, this is definitely one of the most innovative games out there. To me it's like a cross between Metal Gear Solid (because of the sneaking around) and Earthworm Jim (because of the weirdness). The story is amusing yet original, and it's interesting how things turn out for Abe (the main character) throughout the game. I won't get into any details about the story, don't want to spoil anything. The control is superb, as well is the music and the overall sound. The gameplay and graphics however, are the true highlights of this game. In the game, Abe is able to use weapons, sort of. However he doesn't have one throughout the game, the only way he can get them is through grenade machines (which only pump out one grenade at a time) or if he possesses a mind of a Slig, which are the only enemies that have guns. You are able to possess their minds through a kind of ritual chanting, you can control them however you want. You are also able to talk to fellow Mudokans (a tribe that Abe is from) that you have to save, and that's the whole point of the game is to save them but you have to be very sneaky to do it. Trust me it's not as easy as it sounds. What's cool is Abe doesn't just die, he regenerates. The problem is sometimes he regenerates at places you had the most trouble with, and you have to go all through it again. The graphics are some of the best I have seen on the Playstation console, the FMV's are flawless, no grainy pictures whatsoever. When you are controlling Abe, the environment is 2-D, but even then the graphics are still awesome and have a slight 3-D element. When you go into lifts and such, the game will change to 3-D, especially when you're in the bucket-like lifts or whatever. The only complaint I have about this game is it's EXTREMELY challenging, this game might seem suitable for little kids but trust me it's too hard for them. The person who said this game is too easy is lying, the guy never beat the game because this game is NOT EASY! There are difficult puzzles such as leading the Mudokans to safe portals and controlling enemies to your advantage. This game only has four types of enemies (scrabs, paramites, sligs, and slogs) but they're still a pain in the neck. The puzzles require perfect timing, constantly. This game is not forgiving at all and neither were the people who made it. It requires an excellent amount of patience, which I happen to have very little of. Either way, anyone who loves challenging (not to mention frustrating) games will definitely love this one. Regardless of the frustration factor, I highly recommend this game to any video gamer.

fustrating
If you like games were you have to do everything over and over a thousand times before proceeding to the next area just to do that a thousand times more than this game is for you. But I don't consider that very fun. The controls are easy however and the game can be amusing and addictive at times but I certainly would not consider it very fun to play.

Fun Times Ahead
I wasted many, many hours of sleep back in college with this game. It reminded me quite a bit of Tomb Raider, but I found it to be much moe fun than any of the Tomb Raider series.

The premise is deceptively simple--you must rescue 99 of your fellow Mudokons from becming canned ham.There are enough puzzles and traps to keep things hopping for a long time to come.
There are a number of special actions (such as disarming bombs) that are hard to consistenty master, but its worth the effort if you ccan master ihem.

I'd advise getting the strategy guide as well. It'll save you some grey hairs and bald spots. ... Read more

PERFECT!
I am a die-hard Spyro fan who is really into role-playing games. This is probably the best and I mean the BEST game ever made for the Playstation 1! It has wonderful senery and neat new characters.But listen to me and listen to me well, If you want to buy this game, you must buy the GREATEST HITS version with a bright green bar where it says Playstation. If you don't there is a bug on a speedway level which prevents you from completing the game. I suggest that you get it at a retail store to be sure that you get the right one.

Gr8!
I playd this game at a friends house and it is brill. Try it for yourself!

awesome!
spyro is sooooooooooooooo cool anyone anywhere should get it.i play it everyday and my brothers are obsessed with it.its all they ever talk about.

Go Spyro
My son and I have beaten both Spyro 1 & 2 and got 3 this Christmas. We love it. Spyro can do more things and the "areas" are great. We haven't tried Spyro 4 yet and after reading many reviews I am tempted to not try it at all. This game was worth waiting for the price to drop.

spyro!
one day my dad came home he had a surprise!it was spyro year of the dragon.i made him play it three times!these days i know howto do it myself. i know headbash jump headbutt good look flame glide hover and swim.if you like spyro get this vidio game! p.s.plays ps2 to,and you shoud see what happens to moneybags at the end when you headbutt him. ...

The Vertical Stand for PlayStation2 allows gamers to display their consoles safely in an upright position. There are several reasons to do this; chief among them, limited space. It's not good to sit a console on top of a TV, as cords can hang down and block your view of the screen. And, of course, it can be very dangerous to rest a TV on top of a PlayStation2. The stand allows gamers to place their consoles next to their TVs--safely out of the way of kicks, spills, and carpet fibers. The design also helps airflow, and makes it less likely that your PlayStation2 will overheat. Plus, the stand's graduated, organic blue color complements the console's sleek black lines, and makes it look very cool. ... Read more

Stand in awe of its...vertical-ness . . .
Many reviewers are right on the money with their sense of bafflement at the existence of this shiny blue and black contraption. I bought it when I had to stick my working PS2, (my first one rolled over and died), when space in my office was at a premium and since I am rather klutzy at times, anything that kept it safe(r) could only be a good thing. Except for making a vertical Playstation 2 harder to tip over, it does nothing. It looks good, it's standy-ness cannot be denied. I can't wait for the Playstation 3 wall mount adapter or the ceiling mobile adapter or maybe an attractive PS3 hat ensemble. Sony is obviously preceding with the concept of `if you make it, they'll buy it.", which leads me to the horizontal stand... a beveled piece of blue and black plastic which sits under your PS2, now that makes no sense- who would buy such a thing!?! Oh... right...

The Greatest Product Ever!!
Are you kidding me this vertical stand is awesome. I bought it right when it came out and I love it. The verticalness of the PS2 when on the stand just makes your forget about what your playing. Its gorgeous. I cannot describe the usefulness of this product. I can stick it into a really narrow area between a wall and a bookcase, AWESOME!! This Vertical Stand has to be the greatest of accesories out their....HAHA kidding. I hate this product. Its useless in all aspects. As if you needed to use it between a narrow space and it looks just as nice as a regular standing PS2 if not worse. However spends, I mean wastes their money on this product is a dumba*s fag*ot. Enjoy!

How cheap can you get??
Came online tonight to pick up a vertical stand for the PS2 my Hubby got me for Xmas. But, come on!!!! $15.00 plus shipping and handling, not to mention any taxes? At the cost of this machine, Sony is really scraping the bottom of the capitalist barrel not including a round plastic disc with a slot or two in in it with the System. Shame, shame, I know your name!!! I'll just stand the thing between a few books or something. For $15.00 I'll be getting another game. And I will not be jumping to buy anything more from Sony, either. Feel like I am being ripped off, as in the old days when "upgrades" and new systems meant kissing all your old games goodbye!

Tell Me... IS THIS A JOKE!!!
First of all, why the HELL is this thing $15 dollars PLUS tax. I have PlayStation2, and I don't generally like it. I thought Microsoft was trying to steal your money, but now this PIECE OF GARBAGE comes along and it is a JOKE. Why is Amazon selling this for $15 dollars. i got mine with my PlayStation2 and now they are selling it just to keep space. This is a total joke.

..........Now that I have cooled down, this can be space saving. If it was free, well, it would be a good buy. PlayStation2 is not THAT big, and if you don't have enough space 1)Your poor and can only put everything in one room or 2)You have those TV's which have a million plugs. That is why it gets at least two stars, because nothing is THAT bad, (well...some games and equipment have gone over the edge).

So, instead of wasting $15 dollars, go out and save up for some games. The blue color is not impressive, and it doesn't cool down and it doesn't scratch your discs. Actually, it only does one thing, wastes your money.

vertical stand?
ok, fine the stand works well, and its no mechanical wonder either, and the reason i say this is because, for 7 bucks, i mean cant this piece be included with the system? i cant believe how cheap sony got, they didnt even give people this measly piece of plastic with the system...that is the only reason i give it 3 stars, i dont want to give sony more than a medium rating on a product they make just because they tried to make a quick buck from it instead of giving people a free stand with the actual purchase of their system...! ...

This Resident Evil-like action-adventure game takes place in the distant future--A.D. 12,090, to be exact--some 10,000 years after vampires have won control of the planet from humans. Vampire Hunter D is based on the original Hideyuki Kikuchi novel and the cult-classic anime that followed. Your character is the aptly named Vampire Hunter D, a half-human, half-vampire who is hired to rescue a kidnapped child. The linear plot has three endings, each of which is triggered by meeting certain criteria. ... Read more

Best Had for the Memories
Vampire Hunter D is very much a creation of Yoshitaka Amano, a visionary designer who, among other things has had a significant influence on the visual effects of game and anime design.He is most famous for his work in the Final Fantasy series, but this game as a derivative of his anime work.As such, it arrived with a built in following, but failed to live up to expectations.

It is a fairly representative plot, based on the 2001 Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust DVD.Rescue a young damsel from the claws of vampire Meier Link, a story with several unexpected twists, which are used here as well.It is a puzzle-solving, watch your vitality sort of game.

The puzzles can be difficult, fighting is simplistic and clumsy, and the interface is awkward.For someone who has adjusted to games on the newer consoles, playing Vampire Hunter D may be an unsatisfying experience.IT is even a bit primitive by PSOne standards.Still it's not a bad game, just one that is very dated.

Its real value today is as a collectors item for D fans, who probably all believe that there isn't enough of the dunpeal vampire killer to go around.The graphics are murky, but it's still the world where half-breed vampires get even with their sires and damsels are there for the rescuing.

Collector, diehard fan, or curious game player, this is worth picking up.Just don't expect Final Fantasy level play and you will avoid disappointment.

Great movie made into a pretty good video game.
Im a huge fan of the Vampire Hunter D movies, its almost natural a guy like myself would pick up this game.Over all Im very pleased with the game.I've been pretty much playing it all week so I guess it has something special about it.The game itself is like "Resident Evil" only its not as scary.Some parts kinda' put you on the edge of your seat but not really.Sure it has tons of monsters to kill but they don't really shock you in anyway special.You walk into a room and boom, there they are.Monters.The only reason I see for this game to have so many monsters without any real shock value to them is that they wanted to create the game just like the movies.Vampire Hunder D (both movies) was chop full of monsters.All over the place.So thats forgiven.Over all this is a fun game that stays true to the movies the best it can.Give it a try, you might like it.

Noooooooooooooooo!
What have they done to you D!?This game had so much potential.Good graphics, great story, and a huge fan base.But they made the game slow, excessively difficult, and bland.I tried, I actually TRIED to like this game, but it was so hard to feign interest in it for more than an hour.I loved the movies, but this is a travesty!

Go Buy the Legacy of Kain series instead

One of the best PS1 games
A great game for play station 1. Based roughly on parts from both movies, the original and Bloodlust. If you have a PS2 get this game anyways, it is fun, addictive, and contains a few puzzles. A few bugs, but all in all a great game.

How good is this game anyway?
This game is very good, Although some of the bosses were pretty tough to beat on the first try (Like Meier Link for example).I really got a kick out of it, Though for the thirtieth time I got the bad ending (Where everyone died--Even Leila)--But D survived.A couple of hours ago I beat it again--And this time I got the good ending (Where everyone survived--Even Leila).Boy, Is this game a trip or what. ...

A Fun Puzzler NOT based on Tetris
This game will be very familiar if you've ever played Zuma online( PopcapGames.com ).Ballistic isn't as aesthetically pleasing, but gameplay is identical.I find myself coming back to this game often, even as the more fashionable games are beaten, traded-in, or given up on.The key word here is "value"; you won't pay much but you'll play much.This game is family-friendly, easy to play, and the light reggae and piano music between games is a nice touch.Go ahead and get it and start wasting some time!

Fun, but short
This game is very addictive!There was only one thing about this game that I did not like, and that was the length.We just received the game last week, and I have already gone through every stage in the stage mode.There are other options though, like two-player and Panic mode.

Another great puzzle game!
The Playstation doesn't have a lot to offer puzzle fans, so this new offering is really welcome. Similar to the game Bust-a-Move 2, Ballistic requires you toshoot different colored balls toward a spiral. Matchingthree or more balls of the same color causes them to disintegrate. Playends when the balls overrun your ball launcher. My wife, who is usuallyaverse to video games, picked up the play mechanics in about 10 seconds. Icouldn't tear her away! A great one or two-player game that's sure toappeal to the whole family. The game also sells at a bargain price. Highlyrecommended. ... Read more

nice tv controller
i love this tv controller because i can watch tv and play games at the same time!! that is so coooolll. but it is a little heavier than a nomal controller.

Think once think twice
Well its good on long car rides - no TV needed. Its bad because it is heavy and works for 2 minutes then dies because it sucks battery juice faster than I suck on my beer.

Good stuff
controller works very well...i like it a lot good for car trips and playing without a tv...especially when ur on the go...anyways i reccomend buying this thing cuz i have to say its pretty damn good

do not listin to the other people
okay heres how im gonna sort this. im gonna list all the pros and cons pros:good for long travels. dont need to put games in cons:sound is bad. good if you have headphones. screen is too small. screen weighs down controller. overall this is pretty good.

Piece Of Junk Gamepad
I bought it. Set it up right. Started playing. Shut it off. Came back about an hour later turned it on. All I had was sound and no video. I thought it was a good idea to have a screen on the game pad and it is. But when it doesn't work it shows that its astupid idea. In my opinion DON'T BUY IT!!!! Some item for $39.99! ... Read more

THE GAME SUCKZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I GOT THE GAME FROM (kohls)!!!! I should have known a CLOTHING STORE only has crap video games. It is soooooooooooooooooo boring and lame. do NOT get this game.i repeat DOOOOOOO NOTTTTTTTTT GETTTTTTTTT THIISSSSSS GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

idon't really have it
i don't really have this game and i just want to ask any one thats reading this that has this game and are going to review it. um can you get out of the car? or do you just ride around in the car the whole game? cause im a hard core gamer but i have read the reviews andevery one says it is fairly easy.this game would be perfect for me if you could get out of the car.

Great Game
This is a very flashy, very fun car chase shooting game. You get over 20 different vehicles and guns. The TV-like gameplay makes for a good story line. There's hardly any dialogue in the cut scenes, but this was one of the first PS2 games. Gran Theft Auto:$50. Driv3r:$30. Starsky and Hutch: priceless.

Fair Warning: Rent it before you buy
Being a Starsky and Hutch fan since I was a kid, I was looking forward to playing this. The graphics are "cartoon" horrible and the need for "VR" points becomes annoying after awhile. The bad guys are like something from a Chinese Kung Fu movie, you can shoot at them accurately and it takes all day to kill them...and that's with playing with a PS2 gun (I can't imagine shooting with a controller) which makes you lose the mission because you are down on "VR" points. The dialog gets annoying too and you can't skip hearing it either.

Good for beginners, too
We just got a PS2 after having no game system at all since the old Atari I had when I was 13. So learning all the "new fangled" controls is a bit tricky.Starsky and Hutch, as well as being a fun game, is straight-forward enough that the learning curve was easy and enabled me to get right into the action without having to die a thousand times just to learn how to maneouvre. As I get better with the controller, the game is still proving to be fun and challenging without being frustrating. ... Read more

Best fighting game ever made
This is definitely the best of the Tekken series. No, not Tekken 4! Tekken 2. Everything in this game is awesome. The levels, the music score, and obvioulsy, the characters. If you want to save some doe, get this used for under $10 instead of Tekken 4, or Tekken 5 (which is coming soon and I plan on getting.) If you don't have it and you love fighting games, get it now! 10/10

ANOTHER CLASSIC SEQUEL
THIS GAME WAS A VERY GOOD GAME. BUT THIS AIN'T AS GOOD AS TEKKEN 1. LIKE ITS PREDECESSOR, HAS GREAT GRAPHICS, GREAT LOOKING MOVES, AND GREAT BOSSES TO UNLOCK, WHICH GIVES YOU A REASON TO WANNA WIN THE GAME WITH EVERY CHARACTER. THE MUSIC IS GREAT HERE TOO. THIS IS A DEFINITE GEM. GET THIS AND ITS PREDECESSOR FOR THE ULTIMATE GAMING EXPERIENCE!!

An absolute classic
From the cool first cutcene to the classic music that plays while picking a character, you know this is special.
Don't just button mash, learn the combos because this is the only game(out of 100)that has made me curs at the TV. If you're a beginner, start of with someone with fast kicks like marchial Law and not Jack 2. BUY THIS because it's an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC.

[kicks]
This is a very good game for Playstation.u start with ten base characters who unlock ten others.There are three others u can unlock.There is no flaw to this game exept that the moves take a little time to figure out.this game does have a storyline, and a damn good too.This game also takes time to beat and get all ten characters.If you are a beginner u will take about 40 minutes to unlock characters.As u get the hang of u take less than a half hour.Well as i said this is a very good game.This is one of my favorites and i think u should try and u will probably like it. Thanks

this is a fighting game you can't miss out on.
What really exites me about this game is the way the music is put together, i mean the music is very well coordinated and the sound effects and movement are very smooth. I would have to say that my favorite arena on this game is yoshimitsiu's forest level then kazuya's mirror domain. all in all the backgrounds and graphics are the best you can get for a psx game. Also this game delivers a somewhat sadness to it and the environments of the game prove it. This would have to be my most favored tekken game ever. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The classic arcade game Frogger snatched more than a few quarters back in the '80s. Hasbro's smash hit comes home with an entirely new look and sound. You'll hop through nine gaming worlds and dozens of levels in a new 3-D-based gaming environment. The game begins in familiar territory as the first levels are faithful 3-D re-creations of the classic arcade game. However, as you begin to progress deeper into the game, you'll find new areas that are equally challenging.

Whether or not you are a fan of the original game, Frogger stands on its own as a modern-day favorite. This title has consistently ranked among the top-selling home video games since its release. -- Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Based on the arcade hit
• Dozens of game levels

• May not appeal to some hardcore gamers

Features

• Modern update of the arcade classic, with mission and storyline
• 9 polygonal 3-D worlds with dozens of levels
• All-new abilities like Power Croak, Heat-Seeking Tongue, and Super Jump
• Speed, reflexes, and timing are crucial
• For 1 player

cant beat the classics
When I was a kid I had one of the 1st versions of this game back in the 80's for my vic 20 computer then the version for the commodor 64 and i loved it then. the play station version is a great game too and has keep me up for hours playing it. if your looking for a modern style computer game this isnt for you but if you like the old style arcade games then this is a great buy and can give you many hours of entertainment.

Hard, but fun.
Frogger is a hard game, but the original was no walk in the park, either. Good level design overall, even if the difficulty should be tone down a bit sometimes.

The multiplayer race feature is pretty fun, but it's nothing near classic.

Blech
If I wasn't addicted to the original Frogger, I would say this game was actually pretty cool but I can't. I wanted to see the original for PS. This game is HARD. I hear the 2nd one is better but I haven't tried it yet. If you don't mind the new look and scene, go for it but if you are expecting the Atari version but updated, don't waste your money. There is only one board that is similar.

A very difficult game
I purchased this game for my boys. It is so difficult that I have never completed level 4 anywhere(with 3 lifes each level). The graphics is just ok compared with some of the newer games. My boy(7) felt it was little too difficult too, he never completed level 5. My 3 1/2 year old boy passed the level one only a couple times out of hundreds of trial.

This game is horrible
horrible graphics, mindless games, hnow the heck did u give it 5 stars??? ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater from Activision became a megahit lastfall. Since then, dozens of companies have tried to bring fringe sports likesurfing, sky diving, and other "me, too" extreme sports titles to market, andall of them looking to cash in on the craze. Up until now, none have matched thequality or replayability of Tony Hawk, and only a small few have comeclose, including this month's challenger, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX fromAcclaim.

Instead of using a skateboard to race against the clock and perform dangerousmidair stunts for points and prestige, this game is all about daredevil BMX bikeriding, so that players can aim to pull off a "Superman," "Icepick," "Tailwhip,"or "Toothpick." In total, there are over a dozen unique environments, such asCamp Woodward's backbreaking "Lot 8" or the San Jose Ramp Club, to name two.

First, players must select their rider of choice, be it repeated World Championbiker Dave Mirra, 1999 Dirt Circuit Champion Ryan Nyquist, or eight other starsof the sport. Each of the riders enjoys his own signature moves, plus even moreriders can be unlocked over time. However, there is no create-a-player feature,as there is with a few other games of this kind.

Fortunately, controlling the rider is a cinch to learn for younger or novicegamers, and there's enough substance here to keep players pedaling long afterthe goals are met. In fact, along with the "Free Ride" mode, the timed "Session"mode, and the challenging, career-based "Proquest" mode, there are 10 differenttwo-player games, including our favorite, dubbed "B-M-X", in which the secondplayer has to mimic the first rider's moves (remember basketball's H-O-R-S-Evariant?).

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX's visuals are only satisfactory, with nothingreally to kick heels about. The 3-D engine brings a few annoying screen"pop-ups" (objects and backgrounds awkwardly disappear on occasion, as ridersmove in relation to the "camera") and "clipping" problems (in which the ridergets stuck mysteriously) that probably could've been ironed out with a few moreweeks in development. And, while the midair stunts and crashes look painfullyreal, the game also seems to lack a convincing sensation of speed.

But, even with its shortcomings, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is a rad BMXarcade sim that proves that the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, whilestill the king, is not the only game in town. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Controls are easy to learn
• Great two-player games

• Annoying "pop-up" and "clipping" problems
• No create-a-player feature

This is the best game EVER. Get it or be square
j-nf

A good game
Ok so here is the deal. I bought this game on amazon, took it out of the box, and started to play. I noticed the graphics were very bad but the game is pretty neat. Over all, this game is worth every penny you pay.

Mediocre title
It's common for game developers to borrow ideas from other popular games - in hopes that their own game receives the same kind of widespread success. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX represents Acclaim's attempt to cash in on the extreme sports phenomenon started by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and, as a result, the basic game mechanics should seem very familiar to fans of the skateboarding game. To its credit, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX introduces some new elements to the extreme sports subgenre. Unfortunately, the game has a number of both major and minor flaws. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX's options are typical of an extreme sports game. The proquest mode is essentially a career mode that lets you select from a lineup of the world's best BMX freestylists to play as. It also lets you earn new sponsored clothing, new levels, and new bikes. Each track has a series of objectives that start at an amateur difficulty level and then steadily increase in difficulty after you complete them. In fact, the default bike just isn't good enough for accomplishing some of the later, more difficult objectives, so there is substantial incentive for obtaining faster and more maneuverable bikes. Even so, the proquest mode may be a little too easy for extreme sports veterans, since the game visibly highlights the obstacles associated with objectives you need to complete. However, this should be a welcome feature for those who are new to the genre. The game's two remaining modes - freeride and session - are practice modes in which you can race around on a track, with or without a time limit. Unfortunately, these modes are mostly worthless for practicing in, since some tracks - particularly the backyard pools area - constantly change as new areas open up and as you complete more objectives. The gameplay in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is solid, if perhaps lacking in originality. Just as in Tony Hawk, pressing a series of button combinations makes you perform tricks on your bike. The more complicated your combination is, the more points you receive. Unfortunately, even executing the simplest trick isn't as easy as it should be. The first problem is that when you're facing the camera, you have to press "up" to turn your bike around. In theory, it's the ideal way to address camera problems, but in practice, the sluggish controls really prevent this maneuver from being useful. Another minor problem is the game's collision detection. Most of the time, it's easy to judge your distance from the ground or from an obstacle, which makes trick execution ideal. However, there are times when your bike seems to clearly miss an obstacle, but you'll still crash as though you ran right into it. The inconsistent collision detection also becomes a problem when you attempt to perform grinds - sometimes your bike can connect with an obstacle from an unrealistic distance, and other times, you need to be very precise and land right on the object you want to grind. Visually, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is on par with other multiplatform ports of extreme sports games. A few impressive textures appear here and there, like on the various riders' helmets, but the rest of them are fairly bland and pixelated. The bike rider models are not incredibly detailed, but there are enough subtle differences to help you recognize the differences among each of the riders. Oddly enough, even though the various environments and the character models are essentially taken straight from the PlayStation version of the game, slowdown and drops in frame rate can still be a major problem in areas with numerous objects. The slowdown usually dissipates after a second or two, but it can affect gameplay, especially if you want to perform a complicated trick in a detailed area during the last seconds of the round. The game has plenty of other small visual problems as well, like the crash animations. Since there are no pre-scripted crash animations, your rider will just go flying like a limp rag doll whenever you hit something. It's humorous at times; however, it's generally very awkward and unrealistic.
Other than the proquest mode, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX doesn't have much else to offer. There are no multiplayer modes, which is unfortunate since most of the latest extreme sports games have found ways to incorporate different types of multiplayer modes, either online or on a single computer. In the end, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX can be fun, but the occasional problems with the graphics and collision detection can quickly become a source of unnecessary frustration.

OOOO!!!

... and the music...
This game is one of my most fond childhood memories. Soul Calibur and Soul Calibur 2 are unbelievable as well but the one thing that they lack is the superior soundtrack of the original Soul Edge/Soul Blade. Sometimes it's nice to just go to BGM Listen mode and listen to "Wind and Clouds" overand over...

The Best 3-D Fighter!!!Read my IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS!!!
This is the same game as "Soul Edge" for PAL/Europe/Asia region.

When you win all your opponents in Arcade mode the last one you have to fight is Soul Edge. With HWANG I won all, including Mr. Soul Edge who is kind of a sculpless mode of Servantes who can fly and disappear during the battle. After you win him you will be able to enter your name into the hall of fame and will see a short cartoon. Sould Edge is two swords of "Soul Edge" which is believed to have a magnifinient destructive power making a fighter almost invinsible.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!

Make sure that before you play game activate L1,L2 and R1,R2 buttons of the controller. L1 and L2 will let you move left and right respectively in a 3-dimensional way. Likewise R1 and R2 are two super kicks of a fighter which you can exert in a close contact with your opponent.

To activate those features which make this game the best 3-D fighter in the market do the following steps.

1.When CD is loaded select OPTION with your "start" button.

2.From OPTION MENU select KEY CONFIG with either "circle", "triangle" of "squre" button of controller.

3. Using either "left" of "right" arrow buttons of controller configure your controller buttons regime to TYPE C.

4. Press START to exist and enjoy a full-featured 3-D fighter.

5. You have to do it everytime when you load your CD anew because the game is always being loaded with initial simplified key configuration.

Likewise if from OPTION you go to GAME OPTION, there with your "right" or "left" arrow keys you can edit such important features as DIFFICULTY LEVEL (Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard, Ultra Hard), LIFE BAR, RING SIZE, BATTLE TIME and so on.

--
I've played "Soul Edge" for PAL/Europe/Asia region about 5 years ago and just needed to remember how to change key configuration. Luckily I did remember, otherwise it would look like a cheap/flat/simple 2-D fighter "Tekken 3". Playing "Soul Blade" with a controller configured to TYPE C makes this game the best 3-D fighter at market, at least to my knowledge. :)

Good Luck!

turtle beats hare is true
this was an absolute dream to play. it may be slow at times, such as losing your weapon, but the gameplay more than makes up for this amazing game. it had a great storyline, characters and a huge array of weapons. the weapon master mode was frustrating but enjoyable. basically, buy this game, you need it, it will fill the void in your empty lives.

Yay soul blade Yay
what is good about this game well thats hard to pin down well for starters theres over ten charachthers amazing controls beutiful graphics even by todays standerd then there is a certain wisk of stratagy wihen the game considering strength and range of weapons of charechthers It's An Intense game worth getting

Amazon.com Review

The fourth installment in the series that created the survival-horrorgenre, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare doesn't quite live up to itslegacy, as it more often than not resembles a shoddy knockoff of the franchisethat has since defined the genre, Resident Evil.

You can play The New Nightmare as either Edward Carnby, a paranormalprivate investigator and poster boy for the series, or Aline Cedrac, a collegeprofessor and requisite video game babe. As in Resident Evil 2, theprotagonists cross paths but have separate adventures within the main story,which, in this case, involves evil supernatural forces at work on theappropriately (but unimaginatively) named Shadow Island.

Although The New Nightmare uses the genre-standard, third-person,fixed-camera viewpoint, it adds a twist by bathing most of its detailed, predrawn 3-Dbackgrounds in darkness, and then equipping the player with a controllableflashlight. Not only does this create some rather impressive lighting effects,but it also heightens the sense of fear that is further fueled by the game'sominous music and sounds.

Unfortunately, the rest of The New Nightmare isn't very inspired. Itsunderdeveloped controls are on par with the first Resident Evil, whichmight not be so bad if not for that fact that this combat-light game has youtediously running around looking for keys to match its many nondescript lockeddoors, as well as trying to find solutions to vague puzzles that all too oftenleave you in the dark. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Play as either of two protagonists, each in a separate adventure
• Impressive lighting effects
• Effectively ominous music and sounds

• Awkward viewpoints
• Clumsy, underdeveloped controls
• Gameplay is more often tedious than challenging

best horror game
This game is the best of horror games it is very good when I play it I can't put it down i thought at the first when aline meets that old woman that was creepy the whole game is creepy if you like horror games go out and buy it you won't be sorry

best game
This game is the best i love it I thoght at the first of the game when aline meet that old woman that was scary the whole game is creepy i love games like this so if u like scary games go out and buy it you wont be sorry

Don't play it alone when the lights are out!!!!!
I love this game! It has the music, the gore, and the terror to make this one of the best survival-horror games of all time! You can choose between two characters that you would like to be and each of them take different areas. Has creatures like rabid dogs, bugs, spiders, plants, zombies, ect. The music can be very scary just like the music for the Resident Evil series. The terror is unspeakably evil. You can go into a room and look for stuff. Then all of a sudden the lights will go out and you will see images of zombies only for a second. ...go on to the next room. This game is about as scary as Resident Evil, or Clock Tower gets. When things just pop out that is only a fraction of the horror in this game. It does challenge you with tough puzzles especially the library. This game lives up to being one of the best surrvival horror games for 2001! I like the Resident Evil series but, they are starting to loose their touch. Get this game unless you are to afraid to play it alone in the dark! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

It was OK, but not as good as the other reviews say it is!
In a sense, the game does have good lighting and use of the shadowing, but it just didn't scare me that much. Maybe, that is because I have been through the horror in other games such as Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, and other games in the survival-horror genre and already have experienced that.I find though that the monsters in some parts were not that frightening like the shadow monsters in the attic area.Althogh there was a somewhat frightening effect added with the monster in the water towards the beginning of the game.There wasn't that much to offer, though.I recommend the games from the Resident Evil series over this and the Dino Crisis series.They have a scarier vibe.I don't recommend playing the Silent Hill series because it is just crap with cheap monster and overly dramatic effects, which detract from any horror of the game.

ALONE IN THE DARK-RESIDENT EVIL
This game is great. If you like the Resident Evil games or Dino Crisis you'll love this game. ... Read more

More I want More
How is it that a game of this pure enertainment quality has not been improved on by the folks at Sony is beyond me. It is the perfect game that appeals to both young and old, the experianced gamer and the novice, the individual and the group. How can you not enjoy yourself as you wander around reaking havoc on your friends pigs. Give us more Sony,forget Grand Trisimo 4,5,6 don't care about So-com. Hook me up with Hogs of War 2, and let the squealing begin.

Cute and funny
I love this game because it is cute and funny,and fun to play ,It is so good that it keeps your interest. I see revenge went the enemy pigs kills some of my men. I also like the terain that they fight on, and upgrade of weapons that they use.The pigs are cute.I hope that you make a Hogs of war 2,3 and4. Thank you for making this game.

Hogs Of War
Really Really cool, you can lob grenades, handle heavy tanks and hide out in a bunker to slaughter your enemies!

We have met the enemy and they have our Swill
This definetly sounds like and an absurd concept now doesn't it, we take a WW2 scenario, and throw in 6 pig nations.These nations represent Japan, Britain, USA, Germany, Russia, and Italy.Each nation has is basically the same but are greatly steroptyped.Thus the humor comes in.

The gameplay is wonderful in itself, mostly because like any good stradegy game it progressivly gets more and more difficult.In the end you fight the hidden Pink team which holds the swill.Int hat fight you must also face off against all the five other nations eliete Hero.that is no easy task.this game also features a pretty fun multiplayer option as well.

In the end this is worth looking into.

HOGS OF WAR
THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT HOGS THAT KICK A$$.AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS ADVENTURES GAME U COMMAND AND PROMOTE UR OWN ARMY.THIS ALSO HAS SOME HALARIOUS COMMENTS WHEN THE PIGS DIE OR FIRE THEIR WEAPONS .IF YOU NAME UR PIGS AS YOUR OWN NAME IT MAKES THE GAME ALOT FUNNER.NOW GET OUT THERE AND KICK SOME A$$!! ...

Editorial Review

Those die-cast metal cars that supplied endless hours of vroomvroom as a child are back in their very own PlayStation game. Thisfast action game captures the feeling of playing with Hot Wheels carsand the most deluxe track set ever imagined. While retaining someelements of a video game racer, Hot Wheels manages to shun thecurrent trend toward real-world physics and instead focuses on wildairborne stunts and wondrously loopy track design.

Like most racing games, the idea is to finish first. However, to winyou must pull off some acrobatic maneuvers such as barrel rolls andsomersaults to gain turbo boost rewards and blast past your opponents.Keeping a third-person viewpoint and simplistic controls, Hot WheelsTurbo Racing provides just the right touch to re-create theexperience of zooming your own Hot Wheels cars around the living room.The addition of moody, thematic track backgrounds and scorching soundand visual effects transforms every toy-playing kid's fantasy worldinto a digital reality. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Simplistic controls and outrageous stunts make the game perfect forall skill levels
• Real Hot Wheels cars and inspired tracks make the game shine

Cons:

• Not a hard core racing simulation fan's game

Features

• Hot Wheels racing game
• Get behind the wheel of one of over 40 other Hot Wheels originals
• Drive on 12 tracks in four unique worlds
• Classic Hot Wheels-style tracks feature loop-d-loops, danger changers, and plenty of ramps
• For 1 or more players

good for a headache
I bought this game after trying it in the stores first.I liked it in the stores, but when I bought it, I was completely disappointed.I beat the game quickly, in one night, and it gave me a head ache.It is also a little frustrating because some stuff just happens.If you are buying it to play with the whole family, then I guess I could recomend it, but for anyone who plays games a lot, I suggest looking around for a better game.

A Great Game!
This game is great! The graphics aren't the greatest but they still are good because you can see where you are going. You can unlock mystery cars when you either go in secrets, or win one of the 3 challenging cups. The cups get harder and harder as you go. After winning all 3 cups, I still haven't got all the mystery cars. I am missing 1. Not to brag.It is a
challenging game to get some of the mystery cars. If you get all of them, please let me know. Just Kidding! If you want to, you can. I don't mind. Speaking of the cars, they are great. Some have different strenghs. Like some can be fast and [are bad at] stunts or some can be good at both. When you unlock a mystery car, on a specific track. That means that this car is the car that is best at that track. REMINDER! Don't give up on finding the mystery cars. If you are racing and see one, after you finsh the race, you can practice that track and keep trying to get it. It might take a while but it is worth it. In conclusion, this game is great! Did I mention it is great? Oh yeah, it is great!

A Great game
This game is great for the whole family.It's easy enough for my 5 yr old, but challenging enough for Mom and Dad.We love racing against each other.A must have for Hot Wheel fans.

The more you play the more you get
My 5 yr old son and I have had so much fun with this game over the past year.In the beginning it seems like just a racing game but as you start finding shortcuts and hidden cars, playing the cup races, and unlocking new tracks it gets better and better!We haven't won the twinmill cup yet though.:-(

This is a really great game for the money!

Great 1 Player Mode, Bad 2 Player Mode
This game has Great Graphics, nice gameplay.ok car selection and good track selection.this game should of never been made in to a two player mode selection, it just isn't fun and should be avoided.when you just Ride alone, then its a very good game.All in allthis game is a let down, you expect so much more and they don't even give you 50%! ...

GOOD SEQUEL, BUT THE NINTENDO 64 VERSION WAS EVEN BETTER
UNLIKE THE EARLIER MK GAMES, THIS ONE FEATURED SOME 3D GRAPHICS AND IT ALSO HAS WEAPONS WHICH ARE AVAILABLE TO USE OR THROW AT ANYTIME. THIS IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE NINTENDO 64 VERSION, BUT IT'S A GREAT FIGHTING GAME NONETHELESS AND I THINK IT'S BETTER THAN ANY OF THE MORTAL KOMBAT GAMES THAT'VE BEEN COMING OUT SINCE 1999. GREAT GRAPHICS, GREAT CONTROLS, AND A FUN PRACTICING MODE [WHICH YOU CAN FIGHT FOR HOURS IF YOU WANT TO WITH THE SAME OPPONENT!]. BUT UNFORTUNATELY AFTER THIS ONE, THE MORTAL KOMBAT FRANCHISE WENT COMPLETELY DOWNHILL.

Mortal Kombat has never disappointed me!!
I am quite surprised how many people thought this game wasn't any good.Mortal Kombat 4 is a more than worthy sequel.First off, the story, like all the other Mortal Kombat games, movies and TV shows, is incredible.If you saw many of the characters ending form Ultimate Mortal Kombat, then you'll have an idea what I am talking about.All their stories have a great lead up to MK4.In the fourth installation, Noob Saibot's master Shinnok takes his gamble at Earth Realm.However, we also learn about the truth behind Sub-Zero and Scorpion's hate for each other and the sorcerer who put them up to it!!!

This game introduces some really cool characters (like Quan Chi) and also some old characters return (like Johnny Cage).The fighting game has the usual classical engine, except now it is 3D.You can, for example, side shift to avoid Scorpion's spear!!Weapons were also introduced and everyone has got some ill weapons, especially Fujin!!You can also throw objects lying around at your opponent.The combo system is pretty good, nothing near as good to the fifth installation of Mortal Kombat though.The endings, until the previous Mortal Kombat's, are full videos and EXTREMELY AWESOME!!There's a lot of game replay here by beating the game with different fighters.You learn a lot about the tournament's secrets and who's got beef with whom.

This game is worth getting for ANY fan of a great fighting game.Too many people are extremely critical of the Mortal Kombat franchise and WAY too kind to others (Soul Caliber, Tekken - need I say more about these crappy fighting games).Mortal Kombat kreators really go out of their way for the fans to make their games unique and loads of fun, so don't pass up on Mortal Kombat 4!!!!!!!!!!

mortal kombat 4 rules!
mortal kombat 4 is one of the best,no the best fighting game for playstation 1.i have mortal kombat deadly alliance for playstation 2 and that game is the best game for playstation 2.most people call me a gamefreak and i take that as a compliment.i am a little bit famous for writing good revews.mortal kombat 4 is so tight but there is one thing that sickens me.where in the hell is kung lao,shang tsung,and shao kahn?and why in the blue hell is this goro.and liu kang's last game?liu kang and shao kahn die at the begining of deadly alliance and it says goro was killed by nobb sabiot.a lot of people think kano killed goro,but if you have mortal kombat tournament edition for game boy advance in nobb sabiot's ending it shows nobb sneaking up behind goro and cheating(like there are any rules anyway)to defeat and kill goro in the war.and right after kano and people give up because shao khan is dead because of shang tsung and quan chi.but mortal kombat 4 is still very great.i love it.

Great Game
MK finally comes into the 3D realm in this game. I only wish there were more characters, and I miss the animalities, babalities, brutalities, and friendships. But overall, it's good.

Worst MK game ever!!!!!
The only reason I gave this game two stars is because I am an Mortal Kombat Fan but this game sucks!!!It was way to easy you know I loved mortal kombat trilogy because it was hard as h*ll and when I beat it I was so happy and said to my self I can't wait till the next game!!!Yet this is just bad you don't even have to learn the peoples moves any more.You just have to take out your weapon and hack'em to death it just sucks. Then I went and rentid Mortal Kombat:DA and I do admit harder then this peice of $h!t!!!Yet still the weopons are still there and now you can stab them in the gut and leave it there so the person you fight slowly dies.So what I'm saying is stick with 1,2,3 and Trilogy they are way better. ...

Best wireless option for PS2
The best selling point is the ability to use normal PS2 controllers which are far superior to all RF controllers on the market.The unit is rechargeable, so you don't eat up batteries.Works great.

Looked cool :(
I am an avid ps2 gamer. I purchased this from a local store because of its apparent convenience. Was I ever wrong. The device has a battery indicator on it with 4 bars. When the batteries go down to 3 bars, I have a very sporadic connection to my ps2 (my ps2 is only 10ft away). After a while of playing Everquest Online, this became very annoying and inconvenient. After a month, I ditched this and bought a cable extender. Another expensive lesson.:(
