    Editorial Review

    Praised for brilliant scripts and open-ended gameplay, vilified for unapologetic violence and mature themes, Grand Theft Auto has deservedly become one of the most popular game franchises in history. This double pack contains the full versions of both Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto III: Vice City, enhanced for Xbox. Xbox gamers can rejoice that the grand king of video games--The Sopranos with a gamepad--is finally available on the big black box.

    Grand Theft Auto
    With Grand Theft Auto III Rockstar proves that not all developers are concerned with toning down the violence in their games. This sequel is even more bloody, violent, and sadistic than its popular predecessors, offering up an enormous 3-D city in which nearly any criminal act is possible. Players are free to steal cars, beat up the local population for their money (or weapons), make time with prostitutes, or simply roam to their heart's content. Those seeking more structure can embark on dozens of missions driven by a genuinely interesting crime-story plot or steal cars that let them play minigames. Nab a cop car and you can go on vigilante missions. Grab a cab and you can play a deadly version of Crazy Taxi. Take a fire truck and you can earn money putting out fires. The minigames are a good way to unwind after a particularly difficult mission. With so much to do, the game just never gets boring.

    As you'd expect, there are consequences for criminality. As your random acts of mayhem mount up the police start hounding you, eventually calling in SWAT trucks, the FBI, and even the army if you continue down the path of destruction. Shaking these pursuers is easily the most fun part of the game, especially when a bunch of friends are packed in the room to witness your narrow escapes.

    Grand Theft Auto III is fine-tuned to near perfection in every category. All the vehicles, from slick sports cars to lumbering dump trucks, handle exactly as you'd expect and smash apart realistically when abused. The three islands in the game are rendered in terrific detail considering their size, and are packed with traffic, pedestrians, and hidden jumps. The audio is equally amazing. Pedestrians talk, cops scream at you, and you can tune in nine different radio stations whenever you are in a car. It all adds up to a monumental achievement: the rare console game for adults that manages to get everything right.--T. Byrl Baker

    Grand Theft Auto III: Vice City
    How big is this game? Even publicists for other games end up talking about Vice City when they call our office, babbling in the same helplessly intoxicated way that afflicts everyone who plays it. The achievement of Vice City (which, as everyone knows by now, is set in the 1980s and offers an all-new, Miami Vice-inspired story) is not only that it manages to live up to an absurd level of expectation, but that it takes the game places that fans of its predecessor Grand Theft Auto III never dreamed of, and that it achieves this astonishing level of innovation without losing anything that made GTA3 the bestselling PS2 game of all time.

    After a brilliant homage to the era of the Commodore 64 in the opening credits, the first thing you'll notice is the improved graphics, which are smoother and more detailed, and--with effects like neon lights reflected on rain-slick streets, and intense Florida sunlight--have a lush, tropical look that immediately gives you a strong sense of place. The architecture is more fabulous by tenfold, with art deco buildings, high-rise hotels, and believably seedy back alleys. The control scheme is essentially the same as in GTA3, but the cars handle much better, and in pedestrian mode there is a new crouch move. You will have access to fast, great-handling cars right away, as opposed to GTA3 which made you unlock the second island before you could get your hands on any respectable wheels. This game has such riches to offer that there is no need to be chintzy with the vehicles.

    Cops are more vigilant this time--minor offenses like whacking innocent bystanders will more often than not get you a two-star wanted level--and are harder to elude (though they still can't seem to climb stairs or negotiate sharp turns). So while free-roaming exploration is as fun as ever, there is more incentive to perform the missions instead of randomly raising hell. Not that that's a bad thing: even lazy criminals like myself (in GTA3, I would rather toss hand grenades into traffic than follow orders from some rude Mafia boss) will be quickly caught up in the vivid characters and hilarious, fascinating story, in which you play an acid-washed-jeans-wearing thug named Tommy Vercetti. Where in GTA3 missions were blocky, schematic affairs only nominally connected to the story, this time tasks move the story briskly along and deftly blend cinematics and game action. For example, there is a scene of a character throwing Tommy a gun, at which point you are suddenly thrown back into the action and must make an instant decision about whom to trust and what to do.

    There are more, and more detailed, indoor environments, including a hotel, police station, and mall (a slight downside to this is that some of the more elaborate indoor environments require load times). The layout of the city, with tons of backyards, narrow alleys, and fire escapes, encourages creativity when eluding pursuit, as does greater access to rooftops. Get your motorcycle up the fire escape and a whole new world of action is possible, including... well, use your imagination.

    This overview barely scratches the surface of the Vice City experience, its colorful explosion of music, clothes, combat, and brilliant voice acting, not to mention the plot twist midway through the game that changes the very nature of the game itself. Though it was the outrageous, amoral violence that got all the press, the essential genius of GTA3 was its intoxicating blend of script and open-ended action. In Vice City this is--to use a cliché that is for once apropos--taken to a whole new level.--David Stoesz

    Pros:

    • Open-ended gameplay; player can chose to be relatively law-abiding or engage in wanton virtual destruction
    • Varied missions
    • Brilliant scripts with Hollywood voice acting
    • Rocking sound track (also available in our Music store)
    • Xbox-enhanced graphics
    Cons:
    • As the The Sopranos of games, GTA 3 draws unwanted attention from overzealous legislators
    • No multiplayer

    5-0 out of 5 stars Two GTA games in one great package
    I have owned this game since the day it came out and I still play it on a regular basis. The games are blast to play over and over as well as just messing around seeing what crazy mayhem you can create next. GTA III is probably my favorite of the two but GTA Vice City is great too. Another great thing about the Xbox versions is that they have improved graphics and effects that the PS2 versions did not. The load times are also much improved as well. The only problem that I can find is that sometimes there is a bit of slowdown in certain parts and you can see that the games would look much better if designed from the ground up for the Xbox. Anyways this is a great collection worth getting if you have never played or owned these incredible games before. If you already own both on the PS2, it probably isn't worth buying again but the faster load times and improved graphics are a nice bonus.

    4-0 out of 5 stars The best of the best!
    Grand Theft Auto has always been a hit on PS2 which includes GTA 1, 2, 3 and Vice City. Now Rockstar has decided that the hit series will make it onto Xbox. YES! This package comes with Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City and they are both games that cannot be missed!

    Graphics: The graphics in GTA are superb. And whats better is that they are Xbox enhanced making the graphics even better then the ones in the PS2 version. The chracter models are pretty good, not the best, but still very good. The only thing in terms of graphics that might need a little bit of work on before GTA San Andreas comes out for Xbox is the actual background animation. But other then that, the graphics are great!

    Gameplay: The gameplay is probobly the best aspect of the entire game! The controls are fairly easy to get used to and there is so much that you can actually do! From random shootings, to cop chases/fights, to even playing basketball! Did i mention.....Uhh, maybe thats not suitable for a review! To wrap the gameplay feature up, it is definetely one of the best out of all the Xbox games and adds to the reasons why you should definetely pick this one up from the shelves!

    Audio: The soundtrack in GTA is also great. With songs wih rock/rage rock theme to them, this feature will have you sitting down listening to the music rather then actually playing the game!

    The only problem with this game is that there is no online support which i thought was a real bummer!

    As a result, this game is DEFINETELY not geared towards kids, however if you are over eighteen and you do not have this game yet, two words, GET IT!

    5-0 out of 5 stars This Game Rocks!!
    I am a GTA fanatic. I first got into GTA III when my brother bought it for his PS2. I have an XBox, so you just imagine my dismay when it wasn't out on it. Then, the Double Pack became available with both GTA III and Vice City. There is a God.

    Both of these games are great. They both can use your original soundtracks if you've downloaded them on your XBox. So, that is a major plus, but the soundtracks on them aren't bad, either.

    I favor Vice City over GTA III, but they are equally as fun. Yes, this game is very gory and violent, but that's the beauty of it. You can do things that you can't get away with in real life. No, this game is not for children. I don't know what the big deal is about them. They ARE rated Mature for a reason. Parents are stupid for buying the game for their 10-year-olds. The GTA series tends to draw a lot of unwanted attention, but that just adds to the popularity of the game.

    In June, XBoc will receive the "watered-down" version of San Andreas, which will suck because I have played the PS2 version and it is really strong. But, don't let the bad press discourage you from buying this Double Pack. These games are truly works of art. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Fabulous story+Lots of shooting=SUPER GAME
    This game is more than a "first person shooter".It's an adventure.The comic book story panels that grace the screen in between scenes gives it so much better appeal, not like an old Doom game where all you do is walk forward and shoot the crap out of everything.There are a ton of weapons in your arsenal and as the story rolls along and get's more drawn out and complex, so does your challenging missions!

    Max Payne2 has excellent storyline and plot, the graphics are great, It's cintematic suspense makes you feel like you are right there in the old apartment building, heart beating faster as you hear footsteps on the tile floor around the corner. The bullet-stop-action (or whatever that is they do in the Matrix) is excellent and makes the one on one shooting scenes all the more exciting!

    Max Payne 2 is a direct sequel to the original and picks up after the events of that game. Max, now a detective and wearier than ever of the world, once again has his hands full as he finds himself hopelessly attached to the lovely Mona Sax, a murder suspect and part of a bigger plot that ties in to Max's own dark past. There are tons of references and parallels to the original story.

    Fans will undoubtedly be pleased by some of the nudging and winking, though someone starting off with Max Payne 2 would probably feel rather left out, despite the presence of an optional cutscene that summarizes what happened leading up to Max Payne 2. Still, this is a surprisingly complex narrative for a game, irrespective of the genre.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Holy Guacamole!
    This game is spectacular! It has no flaws. The first game limited you, and, no offense to the designers, had the most hideous facial graphics ever! In Max Payne 2, he has great facial graphics. The game is more like a movie, it has calm scenes that may be in the NYPD offices and apartments to The Cleaners (Hence the name) and The Fun House (Hence the name again).

    5-0 out of 5 stars Rock Star's Finest
    The innovative Grand Theft series gets all the press, but for me, Max Payne is tops.As far as 3rd-person action/shooters go, it can't be matched.The graphic novel cut-scenes are compelling and, along with the moody orchestral score ( think the Angel theme ), really draw the player into Max's noir state-of-mind.Yeah it's short, but a game this fully imagined and atmospheric is a rare thing.If only all M-rated games were as sophisticated and intelligent.Sure there's blood, profanity, and a little sex, but it's never excessive or gratuitous and it serves to enhance the grim story, always reminding the player that this ain't Marioland.To wrap it up, every single aspect of this game is expertly done: Gameplay, levels ( the theme/amusement park is genius ), sound, voice-acting and story.Highest recommendation, can't wait for #3! ...

    2-0 out of 5 stars What the hell?
    So, if you like GTA I can't guarantee you'll like this, but it's still a fun game.The graphics are pretty much the same as The Getaway.Anyway, you're playing the character of an annoying Asian guy who's mean as hell and somehow passed the psych evaluation test to become a cop.The game is definately a knock-off on the whole GTA series, yet it's not as addictive or fun.The gameplay isn't really a freeroaming thing, it's set up like The Getaway with levels where you can free roam, but you have a certain place to be, you just don't have to go there, which is what I prefer to do.Since you're a cop, random crimes will pop up on the map such as, rape, gunfights, carjacks, illegal street racing.These are the most fun since you are free to do what you want when dealing with these crimes.A car chase might lead to a wreck, and then you'll be chasing the perpetrator on foot down the sidewaks as he shoots back at you hitting innocent pedestrians making the police experience very entertaining.There's different ways you can deal with criminals, such as holding up your badge.They might drop their guns, but if they've already downed a few uniform cops they'll probably ignore it, or run.You can also take your guns out and shoot a warning shot into the air.At this they'll either break into a run or surrender.One interesting and innovative feature is that while driving you are able to shoot out of the window ahead of your car at the car you're chasing.This usually leads to popping the tires, and then going for the gas tank.Also, for in-car and on-foot fighting you can use bullet time to focus as the fighting is pretty fast and it's easy to get quickly shot to death.One of the gimmicks of this game was that it was a fighting, shooting, and driving game.I'd have to say the worst would be the fighting mode, since it's just too annoying during the story mode.You could just pull out your guns and shoot the people, yet you are forced to fight them.One of these instances is a very pointless fight in a hobo house with hobos that are harder to fight than your brother who knows kung-fu.The driving is probbly the second worse, since it's so unrealistic.I heard that the damage would be really realistic, yet when you hit a tree you don't even slow down.It just fades away.The shooting is really cool though, since you can go to a semi-first-person mode with bullettime, and aim at a person possibly just disabling them instead of killing them outright.Well, the game would be at my house if it was cheap, but it really isn't.This XBOX version lets you put in your songs, and it is actually cool to hear your music play at random during fights and driving.Buy at your own risk, I take no responsibility.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Asian Superhero? Jackie chan says it could work!
    I love this game, and the fact that the hero is actually someone not in the usual norm. Tall, Rugged, White/Black - it says something about activision, that anyone can be a hero (and reckless). This game rocks, I thought it was a usual car driving game at first, but it's actually got everything, throw in a tank and a bunjee and it could rival halo 2. well, not really, but it's got a good script, and a hot woman. Graphics could be way better, but over all it's not bad.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Real Map, Real Fun.
    I would like to state up front that I am not very experienced in gaming and I approach this review never having played any of the games in the GTA franchise. However, I recently gained access to an Xbox and had a few hours of playing time with True Crime: Streets of LA.

    There are many reviews that discuss the pros and cons of this game, so I will just focus on an aspect which particularly impressed me which was the incredibly accurate rendering of the layout of LA.

    Finding myself cruising down Hollywood Blvd, I proceeded east to where I knew the 101 to be and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could get on the freeway. I took the Franklin exit and was amazed to find this off ramp exactly as I knew it to be (it is not a generic off ramp) and that I was able to drive up into the Hollywood Hills to my sister's old house. Very cool! Obviously, the accuracy does not extend to individual houses, though there are some recognizable landmarks and the "feel" of each neighborhood seems right to me.

    Next, I took Sunset Blvd from downtown Hollywood all the way through Beverly Hills (side trip to Rodeo Drive to shoot up some citizens and jacking a nice ride) and then down to Santa Monica (just a little disappointed I couldn't walk down the pier). The whole drive seemed very accurate distance and time wise and took me a good amount of time even driving like a maniac I hurtled my car off the cliffs from Ocean Drive landing on the 405 freeway. Not bad, though my nice ride was a total loss.

    Well, the next time I play this game, I hope to find new spots to explore and may even try solving a few crimes. And I still want to see if I can race the length of Mulholland Drive at full speed and live to tell about it, "Dead Man's Curve" notwithstanding.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Remake
    This game is at least 3 stars if you don't own any of the Tony Hauk games. This game is exactly the same except that you're
    on a snowboard and going down hill. I would not rcomend getting this game if you have ever played Tony Hauk and didn't like it.
    The game objective is the same as Tony Hauk. It's pretty much a remake.

    5-0 out of 5 stars That was fat!
    Everything a snowboarder could wish for in the offseason.
    If your little brother brings over his friend who still needs to learn about the order of the birds and the bees, and, lets say he customizes his boarders apparel to look a little on the fruity side, then the cameramen will not hisitate to express exactly what is going through your head, so you don't have to go through the effort of saying it yourself.I won't mention exactly what they say, but it starts whith "Qu" and ends with "eer!"
    Really hard to advance, but the bragging rights are worth it.Also, there's a video of Australian pro Tora Bright.She's kinda cute.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great Snowboarding Game!
    I played this on my friends Xbox and at first I was like man he bought a snowboarding game, but in fact this game is awesome. It pretty much has it all and can be very hard and you have to stick certain things or go all out. It can really get irritating on pro and photoshot challenges towards the end of the career but it just makes you that much better or very lucky. Oh yeah in his game, maybe all, there is quite a few glitches, like starting a pro challenge and just falling backwards and falling into a cliff and be stuck. ... Read more

    1-0 out of 5 stars Action/Strategy minus the strategy
    This game is extremely linear.

    Clear out a room, move to the next, kill people, move to the next.Occasionally rescue a hostage that has very poor AI and likes to get shot, or defuse a bomb that is in a room previously filled with very stupid terrorists.

    The obstacles are static, the enemies are always in the same place, and the only 'strategy' involved is the fact that you can only save twice per level.Talk about realistic, I bet lots of military people wish THEY had a save and a load function (you don't get to save in game in the original Rainbow Six games, which is a good thing).Oh well.

    In one level, after clearing your way to a hostage, making as much noise as you like with no repercussions, you take the hostage, who you cannot tell to NOT follow you, to a very large open area.In this area there is another stupid hostage and the only way to move them around is to actually walk into them and push them (a grueling process).You have to wait in this large open area until an evac comes.

    Here's a smart idea, let's sit in a big open area while terrorists come at us from every angle while we wait for a helicopter...when we could just go back the way we came, since our cars are outside.The sarcasm should be obvious.

    I'm not even going to talk about the next level, which is worse.There are no choices in this game, other than that of weapons, and there is no strategy.I would recommend Rainbow Six (original) for PC, as well as Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear.These games allow you to choose your team(s) of up to 8 men and women, from snipers to demolition experts, to scouts, and designate them on 1 to 4 teams.

    In Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear, there is a very detailed plannig phase, where you have a 3D blueprint of your next mission's location, and you can set the path for your teams to follow, via waypoints. There is also a great multiplayer system, where you can compete, or you can co-operate and play the any part of the campaign.


    Long story short:Rainbow Six 3 is crap, and I'd think Tom Clancy would be ashamed to have his name on it.The original is greater by far, as is Rogue Spear.As well, as with any first person shooter, the PC version is better.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Great Fun to Mess Around With, But Several Small Errors
    Being a big fan of tactical games, Rainbow Six 3 was on my to-get list and just recently I picked up my copy.I had a blast with it and still play it despite the fact that I beat it several times.The weapons were veryy accurate in terms of practicality and functionality; I was very pleased that Ubi Soft actually got the technical information of the actual weapons and implimented them correctly instead of making a messed-up array of weapons like the RCP-90 in Golden Eye (Great weapon for a great game).

    The graphics are not bad given the time of RBS3's release.Nothing special about them, but they arn't lacking soo much that one begins to notice it.However, the AI is seriously lacking on both the terrorists and your fellow team mates.When you give Zulu (Attack on your command) commands, they can get stuck in corners walk into the given area and get killed in the process.It's really annoying to move them out of your way too.Several times when clearing rooms they'll either jump out in front of me and take a few rounds to the back or they'll stop in the doorway and start shooting like it was a carnival game.

    The terrorist AI is also lacking.I could take out someone with a loud .40 S&W handgun and the nearby terrorist will just scratch his head wondering if it was a firearm or if his stomache just made a noise.Other times the terrorist will try to roll away to safety and instead roll towards you and shoot you while rolling... it's really weird.

    What also makes me mad is the fact that you need XBox Live in order to do Co-Op.I'm sorry, but I don't feel like paying money in order to play Co-Op.I think it's rediculous and a money-making scheme dreamed by Tom Clancy or Bill Gates.I was escatic to play Conflict: Desert Storm on Co-Op, why can't other games be the same.

    Lastly, I hate it when you can only control yourself and not others, much less give individual orders.It takes away from the controlability from the game, thereby being at the mercy of the AI... and we know how much I love the AI.

    But nonetheless, I loved playing this game.My favorite thing to do it use phosphorous on the terrorist and watch them burst into flames.It's a really fun game, but these small errors really do add up to a big deal.However, it is still worth getting.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Move, move, move... I said MOVE!!
    I was a huge fan of rainbow six on the PC and was pretty excited about the console version. I expected it to be a bit more 'arcadey', but having also got Ghost Recon, also expected a similar level of realism and strategy. But all in all I have to say I was pretty disappointed. On the plus side, the game is really well presented, with some good missions, great graphics, and the sound is superb. But it's the gameplay where it fell down for me. For starters all you have is one group - consisting of 4 men, of which you are one, and can only play one - Ding Chavez. One of the best parts of Rainbow 6 on the PC (and indeed the Ghost Recon games on console) is the ability to send different units off to different areas, storm rooms at the same time from multiple angles and give eachother cover fire. With the console version there is none of this. You don't plot waypoints or anything like that, you literally issue orders on the fly. To be honest, that didn't really bother me too much. In fact I quite liked the added sense of on the spot realism this gave the game. You can issue a variety of commands, most of which can also be issued with a 'go' code, so you can do your thing, and then shout to code for them to execute their orders on demand.

    But without the advance planning what you really need is some AI to keep the game realistic, and functioning smoothly. Sadly I found this quite poor. There are many niggly problems that are really detrimantal to the game. For staters when you tell your team to move - they don't move to your crosshairs - they move towards them and then fan out into all kinds of stupid positions even taking fire from bad guys, which they wouldn't have done if they'd have stopped where you asked. In a game that essentially relies on stealth tactics, it's like sending an army of chimps into a hostage situation.. This is incredibly frustrating. Opening doors is also extremely irritating. You can't seem to sneak it open without your team attempting to do something. For example, you press the A button and the D pad to open the door slightly to check for badguys, but when you release it you get a 'ROGER, opening door..' in your ear, and the whole team arrives to open the already semi open door.. Also can anyone explain why you can only order your team to flash or frag rooms that have a door?? There were many occasions where I wanted to order a teammember to frag an open room.

    Also, it has to be said that the voice recognition is not great. Sometimes I had to actually check to see if the mic was muted after having said MOVE!! about 5 times. In the end I found it was a little more successful if I faked an american accent. So perhaps you guys will be ok... I also noticed that Zulu go codes can result in odd things with voice recognition. You will set the team up to storm a room on a go code, get to your door, issue the go code and they will just move to you, or try and storm the room from your door.. This was not a problem when using the interface.

    Enemy AI is also not as good as it ought to have been. Forstarters, in a game that is primarily about stealth, they never run for help, nor seem to get particularly alarmed when you plug one of their accomplices nearby. And how come everyone seems to know that you're coming? An enemy will step out from round a corner, you'll shoot him, and he'll run off. 2 minutes later he will step out from round the corner again, seemingly having completely forgotten there was a team of four camouflaged anti terrorist officers kneeling with big guns waiting there.. Snipers are probably the most ludicrous though. Despite the fact that the enemy effectively has no idea that Rainbow are in the building, they appear to be camped out waiting for you - tiny little spots on distant cranes, that shoot you in the head as soon as you step round a corner. The game is furiously difficult in places.

    But it's not all bad. Generally, despite the niggles the game functions really well, (more so if you don't use the headset) and you are rewarded for 'sensible' playing. You can't run around Halo style in Rainbow six, you have to use cover, tread carefully, keep to walls, and not expose the group in wide open spaces. A few shots will kill, so listen to your team mates, and use your different view modes (night vision, and thermal). Whilst it is not as strategic as it's contemporaries, the small level of strategy involved is satisfying enough, particularly when you confuse the enemy by storming a room through two doors etc. Hostages are also dealt with extremely well, you can secure them, or escort them, and the bad guys will not hesitate to kill them if you aren't fast enough.

    So all in all, it is more one for those who prefer the arcade side of these style of games than the strategy, and if you can forgive it's shortcomings, it is a good, albeit tough 1st person shooter. ... Read more

    Halo 2
    Average Customer Review: 4.0 out of 5 stars
    Video Game (09 November, 2004)
    -- our price: $45.94

    Editorial Review

    Halo 2 is one of those rare video games that garnishes attention from regular folk who wouldn't know which direction to point a game controller. With more than 1.5 million pre-orders and a massive release party in Times Square, the game enjoys the sort of buzz, and sales, generally reserved for boy wizards. But does it merit the hype?

    Opening Scene

    Halo 2 opens with a cut scene in the Covenant Holy City of High Charity. Much has happened since Master Chief (that's you) created so much havoc for the Covenant in the first Halo, and the Arbiter has much atoning to do for his failures. This first cut scene is long, but the lush graphics, orchestral sound, and polished voice talent for both this and other cut scenes as well as the game itself put most animated television shows to shame.


    Much has happened since Master Chief created so much havoc for the Covenant in the first Halo, and the Arbiter has much atoning to do.

    In the end, though, Halo 2 is unabashedly a first-person shooter. It has a Mature rating and is not meant for kids. Gameplay is constant and intense. No sooner is one bunch of aliens taken care of than another descends. The controls are identical to the first game so those familiar with it will be up and blasting in no time. And the sound and graphics have been beefed up so that Halo 2 is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful console games available.

    Opening Fire

    Most of the weapons from the first game return, although strangely the MA5B Assault Rifle (the default weapon in the first game) is not available. There is a single melee weapon known as the Covenant Sword, but the controls for it are the same as that for all the shooter weapons, making it difficult to direct. Also, for a new twist, you can hold two of the smaller guns at the same time and shoot double-fisted.

    As for vehicles, the old favorites are back and joined by a few new, mostly Covenant wheeled monsters. Some improvements have been made to the AI so that the nonplayer characters can drive without running into too many obstacles while you man the turret. This improved AI also has enemies ducking for cover, and the banter from both the Marines and the bad guys has undergone massive improvements so that it no longer sounds quite so repetitive.

    On Your Own

    The most significant change in the single-player game is with Master Chief's much-touted defensive suit. At the beginning of the game, he is told that the suit has been upgraded, but it's really undergone a severe downgrade. In Halo 2, the player has only one lifeline. Unlike in the first game, there is basically no defensive shield on the suit, making gameplay tougher. It can often take multiple--sometimes a maddening number--attempts to make it through thorny parts of the game.


    Or with a Friend

    Finally, no review of a Halo game is complete without mentioning multiplayer. One of the main reasons to buy Halo 2 is the ability to play through Xbox Live, a feature not included in the first game, which was among the original releases for the Xbox. Multiplayer for Halo 2 uses all of the same weapons and vehicles as in the single-player game, and the types of games available in Halo (King of the Hill, Slayer, Capture the Flag) return with a host of new maps. Multiplayer Halo 2 offers customizable profiles, control layout, and screens as well as a voice proximity feature, where you can talk with other players via an Xbox Communicator so that those closer to you sound louder than those farther away. Players can also create both permanent clans and temporary parties in the Xbox Live world. Undoubtedly, this multiplayer feature alone ensures that Halo 2 will remain a top-selling game for years to come. --David Morel

    Pros:

    • Lush graphics and orchestral sound
    • Constant, thumping shoot-'em-up action
    • Multiplayer available through Xbox live

    Cons:

    • Suit downgrade makes single-player often overly difficult
    • Get ready for some bleary-eyed mornings

    1-0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY FOR YOUR KIDLINGS!
    THIS GAME IS MUCH TOO VIOLENT AND INSENSITIVE FOR FIDDIES!

    3-0 out of 5 stars Halo with more guns and better graphics
    That's essentially what Halo 2 is.I liked the first Halo, but I still thought it just to be a 4/5 star game.It was fun, but nothing revolutionary.In fact, I enjoyed playing games like Unreal Tournament and Counter-Strike more.Now that I've played Halo 2, I believe it suffers from the same problems.It's pretty fun, especially the multiplayer.However, to me, it's just a polished up Halo, which I've already played.I wanted a sequel, not an expansion.It's not even as fun as the first, since the novelty has worn off.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Why?
    Why do people like this game so much anyway, I just don't get it. The graphics are horrible and very simple. You just shoot some bad guys and do that like 100 times more and you have cleared the game. Halo 3 will be here soon but why? Boring gameplay and no plot, no story and no fun. 10 years later we have like halo 99. No thanks I will skip this horrible piece of crap anyday now. ... Read more

    2-0 out of 5 stars Over-hyped, under-produced
    So many of my friends absolutely raved about this game that I ended up buying it and am totally disappointed.I have never played a first-person shooter that is as little fun as this game.The multiplayer is lackluster in comparison to Quake, which came out almost a decade ago, and as far as consoles go, Halo has it beat hands down.My opinion, of course, but the world that this game tries to put you in doesn't strike me at all as immersive and I was very disappointed with the feel of the controls as it's nearly impossible to make any sort of coordinated-looking assault on the enemy.Not to say that it's difficult seeing as the enemy guys have almost no autonomy whatsoever so once you know where they are you can easily pick them off even though it takes a great deal of effort simply to shoot one of them.I am a master sniper on Halo so it's not a problem with my ability to use the actual controller, just in case you were wondering.

    That all being said, this game COULD have been really cool.My main complaint is that it just wasn't fun for me.Not in the slightest.I've been having more fun with my copy of Sega GT 2002 that I picked up for $3, and I'm not even usually a racing game fan.If you want a cheap first person shooter go out and get Goldeneye for the 64.They had it right back then... not sure why they can't get it right now...Hm.

    3-0 out of 5 stars No Men on team
    There are no men on youre team pretty much.I would strngly suggest Frontline which is long and has men on youre team.I do like the bots in multiplayer.I also like co-op mode.Bottom line: TOO SHORT ANDNO MEN ON YOURE TEAM.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Great game based on the Pacific Theatre of WWII!!!
    I was rather surprised at all the bad reviews, oh well everyone has an opinion and here is mine.

    I'm not going to "compare" this to MOH Frontline, though quickly I will point out that it is shorter in the mission department than Frontline..other than that...

    This is a great combat game based on the Pacific Theatre of WWII.
    From the bombing of Pearl Harbor, your battling your way through famous battles, including the Bridge over the River Kwai.I love the jungle trails you fight on in this book.Very challenging as you walk quietly through the jungle, when suddenly snipers are shooting at you out of trees from far off.Not to mention the enemy popping up out of thatched coverings in the ground, you could get clipped at a moments notice! Dodging shells and stick grenades as you storm up a grassy hill to take out a howitzer, this game is packed with firepower.

    The only part I don't like is when you ride the elephant and are manning the machine gun, you can't travers all the way back around so it's easy to get shot from behind, then again this could, you might say, make it more "realistic".The level where you are on the aircraft carrier is superb, as well as in the ancient temples that are crawling with Japanese soldiers.

    It's up front fighting as well as they will charge right up to you and stab a bayonet into your chest, so watch out!Also be privvy to the japanese sailors on the subs...the officers in certain quarters have swords and won't hence to slash you down if you barge into the captains qaurters and disturb their dinner!

    Overall I simply loved the game.The variety of weapons and the length of the jungle trails makes for long lasting fun.A plus to this game is that you can also save in the middle of a mission at certain spots so if you have to bail you don't have to start over at the beginning!

    So load up your rifle and yell "Semper Fidelis" Marine, the mission is yours for the taking if you can handle the task! ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Need for Speed underground!!!
    (Sorry for any mis-spellings)
    Story:
    You play the live of a young beginning underground street racer, trying to make your way to the top of the charts. To do that you must earn money by winning races and customizing your car.

    Gameplay:
    My favorite mode is the car customization mode, where you get to buy hundreds of different parts (including Nitrous Oxide, Paint, Vinals, tires, weight reduction...ect ect) to put on one of twenty different cars (including the toyota celica GTS, Mitchubishi lancer...). Then comes the racing part. The only problem I find with it is if your one of those people who get so mad when they cant when a race on the first or second time then I would say that you should rent it first. If your not that it's a really great game.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Interesting take on arcade style racer
    I have thoroughly enjoyed the depth that this game has to offer.The arcade style racer has always been a rather safe venue for publishers, but the creative lighting and style of this game make it stand out.This is not a new title by any means, but is well worth the reduced price.The games is deep enough to keep you entertained for hours and doesn't seem to stale as quickly as other arcade racer titles.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great game with only one flaw.
    This by far the best racing game yet. I can't wait to see how they are going to top this game with NFS Underground 2. The game play is very challenging. The farther along you are in the game the tougher it gets. Sometimes too tough but extremely awesome. The only flaw this game has in my mind is that once you beat the game, unless you buy all of the parts before you beat it you can't put them on any car unless you start all over again. I think that once you win you shoul have all of the parts that are on the parts shelves. Awesome game. ... Read more

    Project Gotham Racing 2 is an awesome game!!!!! You get lot's of sweet cars, racing environments, graphics, with and online play!!! Their is lot of game time involved with Kudos Racing, Arcade Racing, multi- player. Awesome Graphics + Ferrari,Porsche,Jaguar, GT, Mini,Audi, Ford/Chevy/Dodge, classics,Renault,Suburau,Lamborghini: The list goes on forever!!! If you want me to name some specific cars I will:
    Ferrari Enzo, Ford GT, Dodge Viper, Jaguar XJ220,Lamborghini Diablo, Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 SE, Porsche 365/classic,Jaguar XKR,and many, many more!!!

    It just doesnt get any better than online racing with Project Gotham 2. Without XBOX live, this is a decent game, fun to try and beat the game on the difficulty levels from easy to VERY difficult (known as platinum). but WITH xbox live, and the ability to race all the cars and all the tracks with tons of people LIVE is what makes this awesome. If youve got XBOX live, this is a no brainer for the price! ... Read more

    I thought this game was going to be like the other tony hawk games. Sure those are great but this one is unbelievable! There is really a story line being played throughout the game. you can also get off your board and run and climb on buildings.
    Well the graphics arent amazing but once you start playing you wont care. you start off like a regular skate punk and keep playing to become the number one Skater. you really compete to get sponsered by real sponsers! I give this game 5 stars and i think you will too.

    3-0 out of 5 stars alright...
    I've played Tony Hawk since the first one came out on N64. Graphics are good in TH Underground. Gets boring after you've beat it. The objectives should have more to do with skating. Some objectives on that game have to do with crap like rescuing ppl. I buy the frekin game to SKATE. Thats why it only deserves a 3 outta 5, cuz it needs a new edge. Its not fun after you beat it becuz if you play it again, its pointless. LaTer.

    4-0 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT GAME!
    This game is excellent.It's fun, entertaining, there's plenty to do, and the new Story Mode is great.The tricks are perfect, it's very easy to pull off a huge combo with the Revert and Manuals.One of the best things about the game is its user friendliness.You are able to pause and Save at any time during the Story mode, you can restart your current goal very easily, you can even see a list of all the goals and see the ones you missed so you can go back to whichever level and complete them.Also, there's a wide range of difficulty levels for any type of Tony Hawk gamer.If this is your very first Tony game, and you put it on the easiest, then when you have to get a certain score to beat a goal, the points you have to get will be very low, like 10,000 or something.However, when you put the story mode on the hardest mode, you might have to get 150,000.The game is so fun, and so perfect.I've owned every Tony Hawk game, and this is BY FAR the best one.GET THIS GAME NOW!You won't regret it. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars I love this Game but not a fan of the actual!
    The programmers at EA Sports have out done themselves:I must first say that the create-a-player is fantastic.It is fun to make your player as normal or as bizarre as you want. You can customize everything on the character, from their socks to the bling-bling.
    Gameplay is really quite easy to learn. For people who just want to pick up golf,it can be good experience. Unlike real golf, the gameplay isn't frustrating!
    Putting can be a challenge. Once you do it a few times, you can get the hang of it.
    Your character can quickly earn money and endorsements.It lets you unlock different aspects of the game from favorite golf holes to different clothes to purchase.
    FUN FUN FUN!This game is great fun. The career mode seems quite lengthy and will probably be entertaining for hours upon hours. I'd highly recommend this game. After I wear this game out, I will buy 2005.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 has its greats and it has its downers. The best thing about Tiger Woods is the create a golfer mode. It is the best out of every game where you can create a player. You can go from choosing your complexion to changing your eye set. The great create a golfer mode is why people love this game.

    As for the modes, you can play a PGA Tour season, a World Tour where you face a bunch of real and fake golfers and get cash if you beat them. You can also play scenerios, where maybe you have to make a very long putt to get a better putter.

    As for the gameplay, your left thumbstick is like the backswing and downswing of your club. If you swing the stick staright up and down, you will hit it straight. If you move the stick accidentally in other directions, you will hit it into the rough.

    But, just like real golf, the putting is impossible. You dont take a full swing. The caddy advice says to aim it maybe 3 inches left but it is very frustrating.

    Overall, Tiger Woods is a good game. With extras like getting sponsors like Nike and Adidas, you could select any club and get money. Tiger Woods 2005 will probably be better, so try that one out before anything.

    1-0 out of 5 stars The Tiger of 2004 in game form

    5-0 out of 5 stars This is the best game ever
    I have never played this game, however, I am a quaified video game psychic. For over 24.5 years, I have been reviewing games up to 36 months prior to their release. I have been there shouting the praises of Frogger, six months before it sweept the nation on Atari. Come on, a frog crossing the street? Who else had the balls to call that one. I was the foremost voice in the premature celebration of the release of Goldeneye. From all accounts that I can find, I said it was going to be a hit three years before it was made. I normally charge 72.50 per early review, but I am giving you this nugget for free. Buy this game if you have to sell yourself on the corner. IT IS THAT GREAT.

    For more of my future pics visit my site at www.thatgamewillbeawesome.com.

    Keep on playing. And be sure to check out "Saved By the Bell Masacre" coming in 2006. It is a first person shooter where you can be Screech or Zach. It is going to be awesome.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Horrible....Don't get this!!!!!
    MTX Mototrax is the worst racing game of all time.First of all, the controls are not all that great.I really don't like the gameplay at all.I can't say too much about the xbox live on there.Everytime the host has to change the tracks he has to exit the room and start a new room.There is no lobby you race around until the game starts.I'm going to try to get my money back cause this game sure wasn't worth it. ...

    3-0 out of 5 stars Decent
    The game is decent but no where near great. It is definately not comparable to [edited]. The controls are a bit difficult as far as manuvering and aiming are concerned, and the graphics could have been better too. My personal opinion, I don't really like this game and there isn't much excitement to it, the punching and kicking manuevers are a bit dull also, like when you go to beat a guy up you alwayse do the same combo of moves to knock your guy out. All in all I would reccomend renting this to try it out before buying it.
