Editorial Review

Racers in this game take on the role of Max Axel in their quest for the championship trophy, getting behind the wheel of any of 18 high-tech LEGO cars based on the LEGO Racers construction toy range. A customization feature also allows players to upgrade their vehicles based on performance, with the top-rated drivers earning the best engine, tire, turbo, and aerodynamic upgrades.

Drome Racers offers three fun and challenging modes of play: quick race for instant play; arcade for both single race (choose the car and track) and time trial (race against the clock to beat the record lap time); and career for the story-based, multi-challenge league racing. Each multi-challenge race is a set of two to seven stages in different environments, mixing tracks with mountain and canyon backdrops. There is also a two-player, split-screen multiplayer mode. ...

Great Fun and Action
Drome Racers is a very good game. There is lots of action, and it is fast-paced. I like the music, too. On the nine tracks, you can get damaged by crashing or by being hit by a powerup. When your car is severely damaged, black smoke comes out of your car and its performance suffers. You can collect powerups by driving over them, and some of them can be fired at other racers to cause damage and slow them down. There are 18 cars total, with 6 for each of on-road, off-road, and dragster. They all have different top speed, acceleration, handling, and toughness. I like the tracks a lot. My favorite tracks are the Foundry and Red Creek Cavern. The best cars are Dune Striker, Tremor, Torq Racer, and Pulse Concept. This game has lots of action. You could be 1st one second, then two seconds later, you could be 6th just by getting hit by a RC missile or a Hatchet. I would recommend this game to anybody who likes racing. ... Read more

Better buy it!
The best basketball game I've ever played in my life!

NBA Shoot Out 2004 hits kids by storm
The game new game, NBA Shootout 2004 has taken kids by storm. This new basketball game is not like most basketball games. There are new features such as unlocking 50 of the NBA's greatest players such as Wilt chambirlen. In this game you can call double teams with just the push of a button. It also alows you to create your own player, but instead of just creating it you have to start of in the miners and work your way up to the NBA and become and NBA superstar. The anolog control gives you complete control of the player. Special features alows you to use players special moves such as T-macs/Iverson's crazy crossovers and Iverson's and Gary Payton's "Glove" to steal the ball. And yet with all of this the game only cast around $20. This overall I would give to thumbs up or should I say 5 baskets.

Anotherfaulty game by 989 Sports
Well, let me start by saying that this game is bad. The gameplay is superficial ( and buggy ), the soundtrack is horrendous, with only 4 or 5 songs, the skill level for this game is for toddlers, etc. The only reason that I'm giving it 2 stars is because the career mode is a little deep, and the summer games are kind of good, but otherwise, it's buggy and bad.
If you are looking for a good sports game, don't look for a game made by 989 Sports, look for one from EA Sports, like Madden NFL 2005 or NBA Live 2004. ... Read more

depressingly lackluster!
Auto modelista is a huge let down as far as racing sims go with only one saving grace. The thing that matters the most in a videogame is the core gameplay, length, and replay value, and auto modelista falls flat on its face in all three categories.

First of all the core gameplay. The game has very short, unmemorable tracks, which is really a shame because the graphics are excellent. The cars drive terribly, powerslide around every turn. As for the car selection, the game consists mostly of uninspired import cars, and the occasional viper or corvette.

As for the length of this game, it took me roughly 3 hours to beat, which is laughable compared to the 35 hours i have on final fantasy 10, and im still nto even close to done! The longest race is 4 or 5 laps long across a tin race course, really the load times took more than the race time most of the time.

As for the replay value, once you beat the game, your done, might as well use this game for kindling in your fire place. Yes, it does feature online game play, butit is terribly uninspired, and just as boring and brief as the offline expierience.

So what is the one saving grace of this game? The pretty graphics of course! Through all of the flaws the light of graphics does gleam through on this not so shiny gem. Customizing your car is extremely entertaining, and finding all the perfect tones of paint for your car. There is also a wide array of stickers, and a custom sticker maker. The down side of the sticker maker is that it is no where near user friendly, and a tutorial would have been VERY helpful.

In conclusion your money is much better spent elsewhere. This is the kind of title that comes out terrible, then the sequel unexpectedly blows you away, so lets just keep our fingers crossed that if there is an aut modelista 2, they completely overhaul the terrible controls and make the races MUCH longer!

A hit, and a miss.
I had looked forward to Auto Modelista.Firstly, (as a gearhead) as a second game to play on-line (after SOCOM Navy Seals).Secondly, the cel-shading style of graphics looked apealing.

The single coolest thing about this racer is the graphics.It looks great.Really great.Checkout gamespot.com for screenshots to see what it offers.

There is a pretty good selection of cars, and the customization capabilities are very deep.Perhaps too deep.It allows you to customize your cars styling through body kits, and any combination of colors, plus various stripe styles, wheels, and decals.

Arguably, more focus has been put on customizing your car, and even the garage that it's displayed in, than on the driving experience.And unfortunately, I have yet to discover how to race your customized cars on-line.I mean, isn't that the greater point of such an exercise... to share your creation.

The racing experience is... well... Gran Turismo it ain't.

It's pretty fun, but don't expect great realism.I guess it kind of goes along with the semi-cartoon-like graphics.More abstract than life-like.

Oh yeah, and the biggest annoyance for me, the goofy voice remarks that the annoucer makes, that you apparently can't turn off.Hearing him go "you're amazing!" after a descent turn gets old really quickly.

All in all, it's kind of fun, but for a serious racer, I think it's lees likely to keep your attention

Eh.
Its so hard to handle your car that you lose every race. The graphics may be great, but the way they made this game is poor. I would maybe rent it but dont buy it because I took it to a used game shop to sell after I played it once. Dont get this. ... Read more

What is wrong with EA
THIS GAME SUCKS

Benetton Treviso PG jelani whitehorne
its hot.....
and i will get it
yeh

best basketball game ever
This game without a doubt is oneof the best basketball games I have ever played. Usually I don't like basketball but I tried the college one and it was the best basketball game around. The only thing frustrating about this game is that in the start of the game when you have to pick a team I tried to pick a high ranked school (Duke) and they sucked! But anyways I would really recomend that you buy this game, first rent it and see if you like it and then if you do then buy it! ... Read more

Editorial Review

In baseball, if a pitcher starts losing control the manager yanks him. It’s a smart thing to do because baseball tends to flow in streaks. This is why EA Sports came out to the mound and pulled the ailing Triple Playseries. Never a critical favorite, it was too arcade and not enough simulation. Triple Play just wasn't performing, and fans were beginning to notice what the other baseball sims were doing better (almost everything). So rookie MVP 2003 trots out to the mound for its day in the sun. It’s a step in the right direction.

MVP looks great. The field, players, and animations are all smooth and realistic looking. Instead of placing the camera directly behind the batter in the default view, they’ve gone for a slightly tilted camera that better simulates a batter’s view of the ball screaming in. The only graphical glitch is that the batting box is too small visually. Curves don’t break correctly, change-ups don’t drop enough, and this just plain looks weird. However, the mini-diamond that shows the situation (including how much of a lead the opposing team's runners take) is just about perfect.

Rather than simply demanding you keep your eye on the ball, MVP has a batting box that predicts where the ball will go. This makes hitting too easy and pitching a bit too hard. A pitcher has too little time to get the ball icon within the strike zone. Other sims do it better. The other problem is with fielding. You have decent control (they avoided World Series Baseball’s rookie error) but changing players is neither quick nor easy and the game forces your player to dive when you don’t want to. Tossing it back to base isn’t as intuitive or smooth as it should be either. You’ll get used to it but, again, other games do it much better.

MVP is a strong debut but it just isn’t a contender for the Hall of Fame.--Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• Great graphics
• Realistic baseball action
• Franchise mode

• Pitches don’t "break" correctly
• Fielding system is out of whack
• Franchise mode lacks initial draft

Some Changes
There have been many changes from EA Sports. The group switched its Triple Play series into an MVP Baseball series (which I found out in a cold night at Gamestop in 2002). Instead of pushing a button just to pitch, you have to time your release. You push the button coressponding to the pitch you want, wait untll it gets to the bottom, push it and finally push it again when it is in the green zone. The batting stances aren't that spectacular. The team are good and the season is real. You can trade for a super team. Mike kruco and Duane Kuiper are theannouncers in this game. They seem very good and talented.

The feature, control, and gameplay aren't complete.
The gameplay is improved. But the realistic aspect of the game such as pitchers warm up, mount visits, automatic bases running lost in the game. The commentary is so boring and unreal. Those two men don't follow what happen in the game. Besides gameplay, the game also has a lot of problems that baseball fans don't like.

A great baseball game!
MVP Baseball 2003 is a fun game. What I like most about the game is that when you pitch, you can control of how accurate your pitch is going to be. When you select a pitch, there is an accuracy meter. There is a green section and blue esction of the accuracy meter. If you hit it on the green section, your pitch will be more accurate and most likely you will throw a strike. If your pitch meter hits the blue, then your pitch will end up as a ball or an easier hit for your opponent. I really ike how you can control the accuracy of your pitch or throw. I would say to any baseball fan, this is a good game to play, so if you ever get the chance, I recommend you buy it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The latest incarnation of NBA Live has a whole slew of new features, like Freestyle Control, which lets you use the right analog stick to express your game with the step-back move, triple-threat moves, pass interceptions, and more. There are significant changes to the rebounding logic so players react in a more realistic manner to missed shots. Over 30 new rebounding animations allow for a wider variety of pulls off the glass. Motion capture was performed with two to four athletes simultaneously and is used for specific contact situations like post moves, pick-and-roll plays, and drawing the charge.

Enhanced CPU logic and AI allow for more effective fast breaks, with open players cutting to the hoop for scoring opportunities, and the fine-tuned turbo buttons afford players a wider array of in-game strategies. There are also enhanced dribbling and player movements, player-specific signature moves, and more responsive shot blocking. In addition, real NBA coaches roam the sidelines, and there is dramatic camera coverage of in-game and out-of-play sequences. You will hear what it’s like to be on the court with all-new player calls, as well as court and arena sound effects. Classic jerseys give gamers a chance to relive their teams’ glory days in authentic gear. ... Read more

this game sucks vs. computer
i have it for the computer not ps2 but it sucks if you play against the computer.the gameplay vs. computer basically goes like this...you either block there shot or it going in.not real at all.you could block 20 shots with one player in this game on a good night.you could block 10 every game.the point guard from there team could be rated low and dominate a game.this game is garbage but the only reason i gave it 2 stars is cuz it has good moves and realistic looking moves.

Fun arcade game, but very weak overall
If you want a simple arcade basketball game, you'll be happy with NBA Live 2003.However, serious gamers should avoid this game like the plague.The serious negatives include:
1.There is no way to play D.Occasionaly you can take a charge, but blocking a drive to the hoop is way too hard, stopping a drive is near impossible.
2.Fast Breaks are available on every play.Again this is totally unrealistic
3.Your players never get tired.No need to sub.
4.In Franchise mode, even if you win, your players always want out.I've played multiple sims with a variety of teams and keeping your stars (or attracting new ones) is very difficult.

Overall, this game is so unrealistic I'd avoid even renting the thing.If you want just a fast-break, coast to coast, arcade game though, you'll be satisfied.

An addictive game but needs improving
I got excited when the game came came out and when i got it, it was the only game i played for the next 3 weeks. Then, i got bored with it. I realized the game needed improving. If an all star with good shooting skills is wide open and he shoots, he will miss. But, a poor shooter goes for the three with 2 or 3 men in his face, he makes it. Strange. what also needs improving is the less fouls. Really, i run up a guy, and he doesn't lay finger on the ball handler, but commits a foul. I don't get that, and it's really annoying. Clearly this game needs work. Since nba live 2004 came out and it is marvelous, i hope the same for nba live 2005. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Sports fans with little interest in video basketball games may want to rethink their stance after getting a look at Sega Sports’ NBA 2K3. They--not to mention hard-core basketball simulation enthusiasts--will likely find it hard to keep from being drawn in by the game’s picture-perfect detail, engrossing realism, and challenging gameplay.

Like NFL 2K3, NBA 2K3 is presented in the patented ESPN style. The game has all the sights and sounds of the NBA: the pomp and circumstance of pregame introductions, accurate arena re-creations, realistic player animations and sizes, and fluid dribbling and shooting (including crossover moves and the ability to change shot direction in midair). All of this is accentuated with special touches such as alley-oops, tipped shots, the ability to make passes on the fly, fierce rebounding battles under the basket, and the added drama and excitement of the ball bouncing off the rim before it either falls in or goes awry.

NBA 2K3 offers a host of moves and modes on either side of the ball, with 25 offensive and 10 defensive plays from which to choose. Throw in fully customizable strategy options--everything from player clutch factor to computer shot tendencies, plus all types of shot percentages and fouls--and it’s easy to create the ideal matchup and game environment. The limitless roster manager feature also ensures that league and franchise modes will keep from getting stale.

Street mode offers a break from the grind of NBA play, allowing you to go two-on-two or all the way up to five-on-five in nine playgrounds and gyms. Pick your favorite players from current teams or choose greats from the '50s through the '80s and go at it as the Ballers vs. the Ringers. Street even features requisite trash talk such as "Yeah! You like that?" and grunts backed with "Get some!" --Larry White

Pros:

• Accurate, eye-catching graphics
• Challenging artificial intelligence
• Realistic gameplay

• Blocky player movements
• Players celebrate with fans after key shots
• Lob quality of passes

it's is okay
NBA 2K3 is an ok game but if you are thinking about getting a b-ball game consider the following

there is no Lebron James or Carmello Anthony ect.

this is from a year ago so it has been updated with new players.

The new version (ESPN BasketBall) has almost the same graphics but it also has the new guys and updated teams.

The overall gameplay is not great but it is the extra suff (off-season ect.) that makes this game pretty good.

It is soooooooooooooo much more realistic tha any of the NBA live games, but they do score less.

So the bottom line is if you want a Basket Ball game I would say to look at ESPN Basket Ball first and then think about getting NBA 2K3 if you do not like what you see.

Most fun
bottom line, its the most fun basketball game i've ever played. i bought it in dec 2002, and have logged a full 82 game season with playoffs (10 min 1/4's) plus at least 100 games against human players.

the copy i bought had a couple of bugs, every once in a while the ball would fly off a player 100 feet in the air, and sometimes the game itself would freeze.

despite, the game gets five stars, and here's why.
-realistic. even if your shaq, if you take a bad shot inside you'll miss. also, if you are allen iverson and you are covered, you wont make every j
-fast paced. turbo allows you to run the break, giving even simulation mode an arcade feel.
-has built in runs, when your team is hot, its hot, and when its cold its cold. the only better system i've seen was march maadness 99 where it had a momentum meter

-my only real problem, is the ineptitude of post players. the athletic 2's and 3's ( AI, tmac, kobe, stevie franchise) can take over a game while double or triple teaming a post (cwebb, duncan, kg) can take him out of the game. this is only a problem against human opponents, which i guess is realistic when you triple/quadriple team a post player.

overall five stars. i have always loved to play this game, and the amount of in-game options allows any player, arcade or sim lover to enjoy it

Most realistic basketball game I've ever played
My six year old and I play this game quite often.There is a slight learning curve (my son was shooting when he meant to be passing) but it isn't too rough.I've seen more complicated games.

This game is pretty fun.The biggest thing I like about this game (what sold me on the game) was my ability to play on the Internet.So after I picked this up I told my brother in the next state to pick up a copy as well and we've met online a couple of times to play a quick game.The gameplay across the Internet is pretty good.... though sometimes things will get a bit choppy which is surprising because my brother and I both have high speed Internet connections.I wish they would do this with more games.

I like the other playing modes as well... there is even a 2-on-2 street basketball game you can play.I really like this, it is a lot of fun and a great way to put in a quick game with my son.

All of the main characters are there and look very realistic.It amazes me how I look more at the players than their numbers to pass to the right guy.

Speaking of passing, this can be a bit frustrating at times.It will sometimes not go to the person you want it to go to and the passes look very unrealistic at times.It makes intercepting the ball when playing the computer (and sometimes humans) a little bit easy.

Overall, great game.If they make NBA 2K4, I'll be looking forward to it! ... Read more

Prepare for an out-of-this-world, 3-D flying experience with the remake of the arcade classic Defender. Players must defend and protect the human race from an alien invasion as they assume the controls of next-generation combat-ready Defender ships. Battling an onslaught of vicious aliens, players strategically pilot their ships through more than 14 treacherous missions spanning the solar system, executing dynamic tactical maneuvers such as barrel rolls, 360-degree loops, and spinning reversals in order to evade the enemy. ...

Technically sound in every way- but somehow lacking...
This is one of those games that is technically sound in every way:
- Good cutscenes
- Easy to learn interface controls
- Use of sound effects from original Defender game
- Good graphics quality
- Nice to see a bit of history about the old Defender game in the Extras.

If you basically want a 3D version of the original Defender arcade game, then this game fits the bill.

If you want something that provides new ideas to the genre that isn't already covered in Wing Commander, Colony Wars, Jedi Starfighter, etc... then you are out of luck.

It's clear Midway has the technical talent to pull off any game they desire. Now it's a question of whether they can pull of FUN games. In Defender I think Midway was banking on folks who grew up with the original Defender. Unfortunately today's generation of video gamers are too sophisticated for that.

This game is very cool.
This game is very challenging and fun.It does get very hard real quick and for rookie gamer like me that has been a struggle.I enjoy the game and have ordered a gaming guide to help me through the levels.

Had so much potential
Let me start out by saying this could have been the Devil May Cry of flight simulators.You start out with a ship, a machine gun and some missiles, you go against a swarm of bugs were you are just basically firing into them and wasting every enemy you see.The game starts out with a basic tutorial to get you into the game and what its requirements are.Then you get thrown into the war against the manti and help the GSA slowly push them back to earth.One of the basic problems I had with the game is the missions on the moon, they were incredibly hard on easy mode, now the problem with this is that if a player wants to start out a game they have never played before they should be able to go through the levels on easy with in the first four tries, otherwise the player shouldn't be able to select difficult modes at all and if you are going to make it incredibly hard you should make the game incredibly fun as a counter.Unfortunately this game was fun but not that fun.

Pros-

-Enemies lit by a glow on the screen.
-Friendly units let by a blue glow in the screen.
-Different ships and weapons to choose from including missiles, bombs, big bombs, lasers and machine guns, there are a variety of each.
-Ships are unique looking and have their own unique ability.

Cons-
-The game gets way to hard way to fast.
-Some units are overly strong. ... Read more

Best Football Game Ever!
The First Time I played this I was at my cousin's house. It was so fun. Then on June 2, 2004 I was in a Blockbuster store and they had games to buy. This was one of them. I bought it and I played it. It was still fun.

ESPN vs. Madden
Let me first begin by saying that I have played both football games.I bought Madden the first day it came out and was hooked out.Owner mode turned me into Jerry Jones.But about 4 months later, I found ESPN foootball for a measly $8.I called up my best friend and we got hooked.I love the openning to sequence with an aerial view of the stadium, watching the players get pumped, and the commentary.My jaw dropped.

Gameplay - The best I have ever seen.Although on the pro level it is too easy to break big runs, playing on the all-pro level, it feels a lot better.Playing with Ricky Williams, I continously pounded for that 3 yards and cloud of dust.I also loved the feeling when you tire out a defense and watch Ricky explode into the secondary for a 20+ yard run.However, there have been many games were I have just been straight up stuffed.My last game against the Pats got Ricky 23 carries for 67 yards.The passing game takes a little getting used too but it works.I have to admit that Madden's passing mechanics are a little better.The hook and curl routes were my forte in madden, but they don't seem to work as well in ESPN.As far as defense is concerned, the DBs come to play.Playing with the fins, I loved playing bump and run because Madison and Surtain just shut recievers down.Sacks and DL moves are more realistic and frequent.And I love watching the tackling animations and the linebacker pursuit is just a beautiful thing.

Commentary + Sound + Graphics -All top notch.Even the fans and thier painted faces.

Presentation - No one is better then ESPN.You can freakin watch NFL Primetime for Christ's sake.Primetime is my all time favorite show and to be able to watch it in May brought tears to my eyes.And I love the halftime show, Chris Berman rocks!!!!!!!The Crib is cool to.

Few negatives -

Franchise mode - Not as deep as Madden but it will suffice.I love being able to break alltime records in Madden as hard as it was.I also liked being able to see carrer stats.Although, ESPN does keep track of carrer stats of players, you are only lucky to see them in a game.Also the salary cap is really annoying.In Madden if I have 7 million left in the cap room, don't take 3 million away if I sign Antonio Bryant for a 5yr 3 million dollar contract.

I hope ESPN makes the leaps and bounds Madden made with the Franchise mode, because if they do, Madden is going to be in hot water.If ESPN develops the franchise mode where you can track individual players carrer stats and make it as deep as maddens, then ESPN will have created the ultimate football experiance.But I do have two wishes:

1. Harder Hits - I want to punish recievers with Rodney Harrison for running routes through the middle.

2. Mel Kipper - I want him to analyze some of the rookies.Put a face on some of these rookies so I don't feel like I am drafting a name.

good
i bought this game because of the details behind it, the stadiums are awesome and the players look very real, at first it feels like you are watching an actual espn game ( how cliche), but its not realistic sometimes, i mean i know that INTS are common and its part of the game, but for some reason i always end up throwing about 4 a game!!!! especially when im close to scoring i mean those LB. are jumping jack flash, they catch everything (or maybe its me and i simply suck!!!) anyway besides that its a pretty good game, i hope 2k5 improves on some of those little flaws. love those giants but they sadly suck!!hehehe!!! ...

Editorial Review

NCAA March Madness 2003 features an authentic college basketball atmosphere, with fully animated 3-D crowds, 49 mascots, 120 fight songs, and more than 300 crowd chants from 162 schools in 15 conferences. As for the game itself, you will pull off sweet crossovers, triple-threat moves, post moves, and strip steals. String your moves together by using the right analog stick. Pull off what you want, when you want it, all with unprecedented two-handed control. Then turn up the heat on D with one of eight full- and half-court, man-to-man or zone defenses. On offense, get the ball into the post, isolate your defender on the perimeter, and much more. Set up for the game-winning three or get the ball to your best ball handler. ... Read more

Awesome game!!!!! just 1 little problem
This game is dabomb. The seasonplay and gameplay is cool also. The only problem i have against this game is it doesn't say there names. So if Carmelo Anthony went up and shot a jump shot the announcer would say #15 makes the J. It gets annoying after a while not knowing what player u are.

Best College Hoops Game Ever.
It has all the real players, 150 teams. You can play dynasty mode for years and recruit players, as you watch others leave for the NBA or graduate.After you play your season, you can play in your conference tournament. And then you can play in the Big Dance with all 64 teams. Its the best college game ever. I play it every night. ... Read more

You're looking at this?
You probably don't know this game. Nintendo 64 games are better! They're making the current console systems look bad! Why did a waste 40 bucks?!?! Mouth animation doesn't go with them talking. Story isn't very good. Levels are short and easy. Almost the only thing you do is jump and run. It's also boring. Non-humorous like the show. The Ultimate Challenge(the last stage) is the easiest part of the game! And graphics: TERRIBLE! Don't come near this game.

This Game Rocks My Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a excellent game . I think kids all over the world would love this game like it's heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome music production game
I bought this game a couple of days ago, the version that includes the microphone and sampler, and I have to say it's been one of the best purchases I've done. I also bought MTV: Music Generator 3 but I didn't like it as much. This game is more complicated because it has a LOT of options, MTV: MG3 is more simple and user friendly but you'll grow tired of it.Digital Hitz Factory lets you choose from a large library of sounds from drums to riffs, and if you want to make your own sounds you can do it too. From piano sounds to electric and acoustic guitar, from DJ sound effects to animal noises. This game lets you create YOUR OWN music. A lot of games are focused on hip hop and/or techno but this game allows you to create rock, indie, hip hop, etc. The game has so much options that you'll have to take the tutorials a couple of times first, but once you get the hang of it you won't be sorry you bought it. As for the microphone and sampler I'm not really sure how to use them yet, so I wont be covering them in this review. This game also let you create videos for your songs, they are small samples of images and videos that you can put together and there are plenty (not a lot like the the sound samples)to choose from, you can also edit the videos and mix images. If you'll like a video for your song but you don't want to create one, the game can auto-generate a video for your song. Then you can play your song with your video on full sceen.
For a creative person like me this is much more than a game, this is a music and video production studio. With thousands of samples and the option to create my own, I think I will be creating music for a long time.

Pros:
1)different music types to choose from (Hip hop, Rock, etc)
2)A lot of sound samples plus create your own from different instruments
3)video creation and editing


Cons:
1)complicated at first, but the tutorials help you get started...
2)...but the rest you'll have to learn for yourself

I have to leave now for I have a great rock/hip hop song I'm creating. I'll like to thank the wonderful folks behind this awesome game and Amazon.com for letting me exppress myself.

Don't buy this version unless you have a usb sampler!
This game is the okay but you can't bring in your voice or other music without a usb sampler.And you get real tired of the voices/lyrics that are on here fast.I have a usb microphone but not the usb sampler.I thought that's all you needed, but no i came to find out i needed a usb sampler.I've looked everywhere for one.I can't even find one on amazon or ebay.So unless you're happy playing with the few lyrics on the game don't buy this, buy the other version with the microphone.I think that version comes with a sampler too but i'm not sure.So you should check that out.Otherwise it's a pretty fun game.This is my first time experimenting with making music and i had it down by the next day.It does take a while to get the flow of it.You should do the tutorials a couple of times each and you'll probably have to refer back to them while making your songs.The graphics aren't that great and the words are kind of small.If you wear glasses you'll definately need them, maybe even if you don't. ...

What the hell?
SVG Distribution made a bold attempt to invent a simple yet addicting puzzle game to bewitch and enthrall the likes of us who would sit and play Tetris or Dr. Mario for hours on end.Instead, they just made Mojo.Boasting frustrating controls, mediocre soundtrack, and ultra-repetitve gameplay, Mojo pushes the envelope of how crappy a game can be.Plus, you get the Mojo level editor, so you can make your own unholy soul-crushing levels, just like the other 200+ the game already makes you suffer through.You'd be better off buying $10 worth of golf balls, and flinging them through the windows of SGV Distribution's office building.

Nice Brain Candy
I bought this as a gift for someone in my home. I am not a gamer but the controls are too loose for the game to be really fun, I realize that is part of the game but still, to make it enjoyable. Maybe if you are a fanatic it is better but for the average "hey you wanna play a game person" it is frustrating to try and control the Mojo Ball. But then again for ten bucks what the heck .

Awesome game!!!
Wow... i played this game and it is adictive! i couldent stop playing for 3 days in a row... for 10 bucks is worth it... ... Read more

Wow! The Mexican league is in this game and also Argentina's and Brazil's. You gotta get this game the gameplay is good, not great but I for sure will say it's way better then FiFa and almost as good as Winning Eleven Seven. I am just shocked and so excited that they finally put the Mexican league in here and the other south american league's too. Thank's 989' and keep up the good work. I bet 2006 will be your year and I'll be looking forward to buying your game, just as long as the Mexican league is in it : )
