Incredibly Fun!!!
If you're still doubtful about buying this game due to negative reviews, read no more and Just Buy It. First of all Winning Eleven 8 can't possibly be compared with any Fifa edition. This game is exciting, fun, and most certainly realistic. Once you get control of a player, you can imagine it is you dribbling the ball and taking spectacular shots at goal at any angle you desire and however fast you want it to go. A great feature is that each player is given distinct and original skills. Pavel Nedved is unstoppable or if you like putting a bit of crazy speed, give the ball to Ronaldinho and even bust a "gambeta" here and there. I can continue writing all night long but then again you need time to pay for this game. One last thing, there is a bad aspect to it, it turns to be time consuming once your fully into it.

The lack of licensing ruins it as always.
Like any other game in the sries winning eleven eight puts a strong emphasis on gameplay, and being a big fan of the sport i appreaciate that fact. But once again the lack of licensing brings the games presentation down along with visuals that cant compare to the fifa series. I have been buying both fifa and winning eleven 8 games side by side for a long time, and every year i enjoy fifa more. While i can understand why this game is said to be better then fifa and is pereffered by gamers it still doesnt work for a statistical buff like me who finds licensing to be an important part of ne soccer game.

Best game ever
This is the best soccer game ever; you cannot imagine how real and how exiting until you play it. If you love soccer, you will love this game. It gives you the latest updated information about the teams and the players. I strongly recommend this game. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love. Two Jedi, master Revan and his apprentice Malak, led the Republic's forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Only the Force powers of the Jedi Bastila prevented the Sith from overwhelming the Republic's weakened forces. At the start of the game Malak has usurped control of the Sith by betraying Revan and has attacked the ship carrying Bastila and yourself. In true Star Wars style, the game begins with a bang.

The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn but is instead a genuinely interesting adventure told with humor, compassion, and respect for the source material. Your character has a mystical bond with Bastila, and the two of you share some kind of connection to the Sith villains Darth Malak and Darth Revan. The game's planet-hopping adventures are driven by your exploration of these connections and how they relate to your larger goal of discovering the source of the Sith's sudden fleet. During your adventure you can explore side quests minor (such as racing swoops or gambling) and major (such as uncovering the fascinating back stories of your companions). Star Wars fans will get a kick out of the rich lore introduced in the game, particularly the Tatooine storyline that reveals the origin and history of the Sand People.

Gameplay is an abbreviated form of Wizards of the Coast's d20 Star Wars RPG game system--anyone who has played Dungeons & Dragons will be familiar with the abilities, stats, feats, and bonuses in this game. The player creates a character as a member of one of three starting classes (soldier, smuggler, scout) and then later chooses a Jedi class (guardian, consular, sentinel). Joining the player's character are other Jedi, warriors, thieves, droids, a wookiee, and even a Mandolorian. Unlike the faceless non-player characters of other games, each member of the supporting cast has an intriguing history and even agenda. Up to two of these other characters can join your character at any time. Depending on who you chose to take with you, new dialogue and even intra-party arguments come into the game (put the Mandalorian veteran with the Republic patriot and you'll see sparks fly). Combat is real-time turn-based, meaning the turns are seamless but the player has the option of pausing the action at any time to issue orders or direct any character to use a certain Force power, ability, feat, or item.

Graphics range from adequate to exceptional. Building and character models are not impressive--about what you get in GTA 3. Lightsaber graphics and environmental effects (like waving grass, clouds, and weather) bring the world to life. Battles are just brilliant, with characters pumping out blaster fire at Jedi who dash, dodge, and even deflect the bolts back toward their assailants. Complete with sounds straight out of the movies, the thrilling combat is pure Star Wars.

All in all, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a masterpiece of Star Wars gaming. The pacing, balance of action and dialogue, clever puzzles and quests, and loving attention to detail have set the bar very high for role-playing games in general and Star Wars games in particular. Consider this a must-have game.--Mike Fehlauer

Pros:

• Captivating storyline
• Clever dialogue
• Star Wars feel
• True story and dialogue support for either Light Side or Dark Side play
• Brilliant combat graphics
• Fascinating characters (the loyal--and homicidal--droid HK-47 is truly unique)

• Occasional bugs in dialogue, movie playback
• Cannot transfer equipped gear between characters while on your ship

Features

• Immersive, action-packed Star Wars role-playing experience with customizable and evolving playable characters.
• Choose from nine customizable characters to build your party of three adventurers, including humans, droids, Twi'leks, Wookiees and more.
• Journey spans seven different worlds including Tatooine, Sith world of Korriban, Jedi Academy on Dantooine and Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk.
• Build your party and upgrade your equipment in your own starship, the Ebon Hawk.
• Fast paced mini-games -- such as racing swoop bikes, or manning turret guns.

Wow! Awesome game.
My friend owns this game, not me. Even still, I am amazed at this game. In two days, I have played it for over 10 hours (it counts). The gameplay is awesome, plot is awesome, and it isn't a game that can be easily beaten. The part that I love the most is that you can choose whether your character will be good or evil, which will affect the game plot. I don't own an Xbox, but after playing this game, I am considering buying one.

Its fun, its just...
This game really is a good time, the graphics are awesome, and the story is great. BUT, I dont like having the XBOX doing the fighting for me.Im a big boy I can defend my self from the evil Sith.This game is really hard too, I suggest you get the guid

I am a believer!
When a friend suggested to me to buy this game, I frowned in disbelief mainly becasue Episode I and II had just come out I was very disappionted with the overall quality of these movies and swore to myself that I would never buy a Star Wars product ever again. Bad mistake becasue after my friend had convinced me to go out and buy it, I found that i was addicted to it.

Now I'm not a big fan of RPGs, but I found this game's engine to be very easy to both learn and to master. The character's are fully custimizable and range from a psycho droid to a lumbering wookie to a Jedi hermit. You can change everything from armor to weapons to headgear on your characters while they are with you.

The cutscenes are absolutly beautiful are almost make me beleive that I am in a movie theatre for a few seconds.

The two things that really make this game though are the dark/light choices and the story line. Everything that you do in the game affects your dark/light alignment, which in turn dictates your appearence and how costly some dark or light side force moves will be. The story is amazing and compelled me to play the game all the way to the end just to find out the final of many plot twists at the end.

Overall, this game was amazing and I would suggest it to anyone who wants to play either a deep story driven game or someone who just wants to crack some heads after watching Episode I. ... Read more

Analysis of Mario Power Tennis
Positives-many interesting courts to choose from. These range from a "gimmic" Luigi's Castel to a more "serious" grass, clay or hard court
- the characters all have their own special power moves. These serve to add some sort of random twist to the tennis action.
- there are a multitude of everyone's favorite Mario characters to choose from. Furthermore there are many characters to unlock. Each chacater is given the helpful label such as "all-around" for Mario or "power for Wario
- the instruction manual is very informative. It provides the gamer with information on how to perfome the more technical shots such as the drop shot and the lob.
- there are many mini games to keep a gamer interested.
- great multi player mode.
- like all nintendo designed and published games, it is very easy to pick up and play.
- lastly, the game is very fun to play if only for a short time.
Negatives-at times the game play may seem rather slow. It can be adjusted in multi-player mode but in single player mode i am yet to find any such option.
- the tounament mode, which is the heart of the single player game, is not at all deep. It consists of three rounds each round does not get more difficult then the last. In other words, the player the gamer faces in the first round is just as challenging as the play he will face in the final.
- the character's power moves, especially when playing doubles, can get very annoying. Each time a "power shot" occurs, there is a 4 second cut scene which disturbes the game action.
- lastly, besides the "advanced" difficulty game setting, the game is very easy to play.This game will not be challanging to anyone who can return a cross court shot (which mean everyone).

Great Tennis Game
A Great Tennis Game. I loved it on the N64, and now I love it even more. Especially all the mini games you play to unlock other courts or characters. The mini games is a blessing to the game espacially if you are playing alone. But get a few friends and make it a night. The power ups are a great addition on the court. Kinda like Mario Kart meets Mario Tennis. No go buy the game!

Pretty fun and interesting game.
When I order it, I purchased it half and half with my nephew.. and I though that it will be a very bad purchase, however I do no repent.. when playing with several people you get pretty excited, that's the benefit of multiplayer games, that you can have fun with friends.. the graphics are good, and it's a fun game. ...

great revenge game
this game is that perfect revenge game. tired of getting your butt handed to
you by hardcore halo 2 gamers? just bring them into this game online. and I mean literally throw them into the wall. this game allows you to actually; crash your oppnents into walls into cars and so on.

this game also sports a mode called crash mode, or party crash which is reffered to online. here you can compete to cause the worlds worst "Final Destination" style pile up.

So check this game out, there's plenty of people online in this game; it can still use more gamers.

BEST RACING GAME EVER!!
I think this is the best game ever because unlike other racing games when you crash it's more realistic .

Wonderful for lovers of speed
The highway code for this game rewrites the rules of the road. Aggressive racing is required; the longer you sit on the wrong side of the road, the quicker you will fill your "boost bar"; you speed as much as you can before entering a one-way street the wrong way to cause mayhem, and on highways you get as close to other cars as possible to cause multiple vehicle pile-ups. If you're overtaken, you are urged to fight back and the longer you battle, the more points you gain. As for speed limits, stop signs and traffic lights, what are they again? If you thought Need for Speed was an adrenaline rush, you'd love this. Just don't tell the LTSA about it.

Spider Rip Off
Where do I start?Then entire reason I got the PSP to begin with was for Spiderman 2.I played it on the PS2 and to this day I still pop it in just to swing around the city and kick the crap out of car jacker and bank robbers.I put in Spiderman 2 on PSP and "POW" I was upset 5 minutes into it.I should have listened to Evil Bob he warned us that this was just Spiderman 1 all over again.$49.95 I THINK NOT.My only hope is that I can take this game back and get a refund.Now dont get me wrong, the PSP is out of this world and I really hope BATMAN BEGINS is much better than Spiderman 2

Not the greatest
I was only able to play this game for a few minutes before getting bored. I'm not the hugest Spiderman fan, so maybe if I was I would have liked this game more.

Basically it's an adventure game where you play Spiderman and go around beating up the bad guys... supposedly it follows the movie spiderman 2 to a degree, but I didn't play the game long enough to know how closely it does follow the movie.

The graphics are good and it seems playable, but this game just wasn't as much fun as Untold Legends, Wipeout Pure, or Twisted Metal, which are all better games.

Fun but gets boring over time. Not worth $50
Spiderman 2 is a big disapointment. I just bought a PSP and then got Spiderman 2. The game is defintly not worth 50 bucks. i beat the game in less thatn 2 hours on normal. The trainig is bad and the camera just sucks. The bosses are all the same. Break a shield or make him dizzy and then hit him. No big deal. The game had 19 levels but each level lasted like 5 minutes. Gets really boring . Don't buy it unless you really like spiderman. if u don't but still want the gaem rent. Not Worth 50 bucks. ... Read more

Best you can get
Although there are a few flaws in this game, overall it is the best yet. The new first touch feature let's you beat your oppenent almost every time.
When I first played this game my shots would never go on target, but when i figured out how to use the shot meter it was very easy.
The one major flaw in the game is that in carreer mode you cannot manage whatever team you wanted you have to manage one of the bad teams. Which takes alot of the fun out of being a manager.
But with the new and improved gameplay it is a must have. I suggest buying this game right now.

it's definitely an improvement over past 3 fifa's...
arcadey, fun,i only played the demo and it's good.it's worth the money. rent it and buy it now!!!!!!!!it's really 5 starsbut i give it 4 because of the controls and stuff it's worth the buy and a great addition to any xbox owner.

Arcade instead of a Sim...
If you want to play football without much control depth then choose this over the European "Pro Evolution Soccer 4" (title is "Winning 11" in the US) and if you have heard the buzz surrounding that game then you should know that it is in the top three sports simulations of all time.

Winning 11 however is not an out-of-box game, taking days to learn, weeks to master and then improve on with other players. FIFA works straight out of box, is easy, but its limits become all too obvious in light on Winning 11, a game has been in development since the Nintendo 64 and is easily the best soccer engine out there.

The bottom line is that if you want a soccer game that works out of box, that youcan play almost right away with anybody, then FIFA has it. If you want a real soccer sim that takes longer to get into but is far better, then choose Winning 11. ... Read more

An Excellent World War II Game
Call of Duty: Finest Hour is an excellent first-person shooter game. One excellent aspect about the game is that you play the game in three different perspectives: Russian, British, and American. In each campaign, you experience what is was like to fight the Germans in different settings (Stalingrad, North Africa, and Belgium). The individual missions usually have many soldiers (Axis and Allie) on the battlefield, which makes you fell like you are actually there. The controls in the game are really basic, which makes the game more enjoyable. The only major problem is the game can not be played in mulitplayer format without an internet connection. Overall, this is one of the best World War II first-person shooters available today. Anyone who has this game, on PS2 or Xbox, will eagerly await the sequel.

Just Way too unrealistic, Get C.O.D. for PC
This game was horrible.I mean theres FPS that are unrealistic but fun, but this game just wasn't as fun as the COD on the pc's.I mean who wants to see the guy die the same time 12 times in a row!The only part of this game I liked on COD was the online multiplayer.The number of people was great, the environments were decent and the killing was really fun.I gotta give props for the Multiplayer.Even when i started out and i wasn't used to it, i came out of the round with at least 10 or 11 kills.The Campaign is horrible but the Multi-player is pretty good

Just fantastic
In a time where Mac World War II themed games are a dime a dozen, Call of Duty is refreshing change of pace for the genre. The folks at developer Infinity Ward have gone the extra mile to present a game that brings the player closer to the game with decent voice acting and realistic events. Featuring gorgeous graphics, great music, "team-oriented" gameplay, and a decent multiplayer outing to boot, this is definitely one title that fans shouldn't overlook.

Call of Duty is a must have for any first person shooter fan. The game offers a unique twist in the World War II genre, combining great visuals, superb music, and a different gameplay experience to separate itself from the competition. The story in each individual mission keeps the player immersed in the whole, and the `team' oriented single player campaign allows players to be more of a hero among other allies that are present.

In addition, the multiplayer addition provides a big boost to playing looking to test their skills with other players after the single-player expedition has been worn out. If you want a great game with lasting appeal, definitely check this one out.

Most Games ShouldFollow This One As An Example
Itz a me, a Mario! in his second and almost greatest adventure yet. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because it can get a teensy-weesny bit boring. Don't let this fool you. This game is so superb that I keep trying to find games like this! Bowser kidnaps Princess Toadstool and let the mushroom kingdom fall to ruins. In this classic arcade game, you play as Mario (or Luigi depending on if you play two player), and you must go through 32 unforgettable levels, and you have to rescue the princess! Mario can hit bricks for some coins to boost your score. Plus all your favorite tunes are back, as good as ever. There are also power-ups such as the Mushroom, which makes Mario big and take one hit point. There is also a fire flower, which gives you the ability to shoot fire! But wait: the Star, which gives you invincibility! The classic jump and--what's this? Mario can run by holding the B button. Classic Goombas and Koopa Troopas and other baddies are just waiting to mess Mario up. Best of all, there are countless bonus places, such as places that warp you to other levels, and a vine that takes you to a coin heaven. So get this games for about $15.00, and it'll be totally worth every penny, trust me!

I'm confused!
This game is kind of fun, but was it the first Mario video game or was Donkey Kong the first Mario video game because I was just asking.

Best Classic Game of all time!
I think Super Mario Bros is one of the best games ever. Which Nintendo Has decide to Rerelease this game on the Game Boy Advance. I've Actually played the Super NES Version of this Game and The Super NES Version (...) I mean here are 2 things on my opinion on the Super NES Version.
1. Bad Graphics
2. Worst gameplay
This is just my actual Opinion on the Super NES Version and I think this Version is better than The Super NES Version so if you guys want to play this game buy it for the Game Boy Advance Not the Super NES! ... Read more

Best Arcade Racer I've Played
The thing I love most about Burnout 3 is the variety. There are several different racing modes you can play:

1. Race - obviously, there has to be a mode where you just race, but it's pretty fun racing. You rack up points and earn boost for taking out, tailgating, and smashing into other opponents, drifting, and driving into oncoming traffic.
2. Road Rage - your goal is to take out as many opponent cars as possible before your car is completely totalled. You can also play against a friend, where it's first to get ten takeouts, or last man standing. This is perfect for those days when you come home all stressed out from sitting in gridlock all day.
3. Crash - My personal favorite, there are 100 crash junctions taken from sections of the different courses in the game. You have a specified period of time to cause as much damage as possible. This can also be played with a friend, either co-op or against each other.

If you've played previous Burnout games and were not impressed, I would still recommend this game because I've done the same. Probably the coolest new feature of Burnout 3 is the aftertouch feature, which allows you to control your car in slow motion after you crash, making it easier to take out opponents. This also comes in handy in Crash mode.

My only complaint, really, is that the massive amount of traffic in the game makes racing extremely difficult at times. It wouldn't be so bad if your car crashed every time you even bump a car that is not in the race. If you can get beyond that, though, this game is worth many hours of fun gameplay.

not bad
I've been playing this game for more than 3 weeks now, and I have to say it is quite fun!! It is that type of game that you can just pick up and play. The crash mode is cool but the races needs more work. There are a lot of pop ups which can get frustrating, and I think it runs less than 60 frames per second. You can't really feel the cars hugging the road.
The crashes are very cool. I like causing a lot of damage!
If you want a game that's easy to get into, pick it up. But I have to say the NEED FOR SPEED HOT PURSUIT 2 is better.

Dream come true!
Wow this game is dope. The graphics is great, the music is heavy metal and rock, which fits the mood well. I usually listen to hip-hop and pop. The crash engine is awesome, its different everytime! The tracks are cool with good amount of details.

The driving is fast in this game! You get that Wipeout and F-zero feeling. Then the best part is that you get to crash into other cars which gives you more nitro. The crash is more like a offensive weapon, kinda like missles and stuff from Wipeout but you do it with your car! Then you get to see the CARNAGE, then zip right back into the game without losing speed, very arcade like lol! I hope young kids who play this game dont drive like this in real life when they get their license!

Sometimes when I drive on the Freeways in Los Angeles, crazy drivers would cut me off, etc... I wish I had a Nitro equipped Semi Truck so I could ram everyone on the Freeway over! This game makes my dream come true! CREAM people without dying in real life and without going to jail!

Overall this game is a must buy. Its on-sale at Target for $(..). GO BUY IT! ... Read more

This game is designed so you can change the most uncool car to an extreme car. It is almost like the show Pimp My Ride but extreme to make it race.

Great game!!!
nfsu2 was a really fun not complicated game.it has a really good storymode and the cars look better than ever!!!but it was a 4star becouse the game is short and when you beat the game it gets kinda boring.i recomend you do not play on easy mode!!!=) not the best game for a eaisly brused eigo too.

Editorial Review

To help you start your Game Boy Advance collection, we've created this special bundle, which includes the games Fire Pro Wrestling , Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and selected accessories. With Fire Pro Wrestling, you can enter the ring solo--or with a friend for some tag-team action--and execute dozens of moves, holds, and throws. In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, players perform hundreds of complicated tricks for points, and can ride as T. Hawk or any of a dozen other pros in the game. We've also included an AC power adapter to help you save on batteries and a Worm Light Advance to help you play through those low-light situations.

The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability; a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations; smart power management that extended battery life; and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultra-portable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedules, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike.

Now the Game Boy Advance (or GBA, as it's already being called) comes to us with power that would have been unthinkable back in the day. The portable's 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former's 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying beeps and boops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitized stereo sound. The extra processing muscle also means you can network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun off of one shared cartridge. Only two Game Boy Color units could link together, and each unit had to have its own copy of the game.

What's not being replaced, however, is the wide selection of Game Boy games. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play its own line of colorful games--including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Army Men Advance, High Heat Major League Baseball 2002, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2--as well as all of the monochrome and color games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems (nearly 500 in total). Players can view the older games in their smaller, originally square dimensions, or, with the touch of the shoulder button, expand the game to fit the GBA's larger screen. We tried enlarging the screen on a Game Boy Color edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and found that Mr. Hawk was much easier to see.

When you first pick up the system, you'll be amazed how lightweight it is. At fewer than 5 ounces and a little larger than a deck of playing cards, the system easily fits into a shirt pocket without any sag. The GBA's wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands. The former design too often pushed the left and right thumb knuckles together during gameplay. The new layout should be comfortable for all ages, and the center screen orientation makes it easy to see.

Game Boy Color owners will find the GBA's larger screen somewhat darker than they're used to, but that's because the screen is outfitted with antiglare technology. Like the old Game Boy Color, the color LCD is not backlit, so you need pretty good light to play by. Unlike that system, though, you won't be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the hot-spot reflection of the light bulb in your screen.

But you'll also notice the graphics. Sporting what's basically a redesigned SNES technology, you'll see things on the GBA that you'd see on the big consoles, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects--technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to throwing a touchdown pass to crawling through a dungeon.

Some might argue that Nintendo could have put even more power into the Game Boy Advance. After all, the 32-bit video game had its heyday more than five years ago. Perhaps, but after handling this new handheld, we're inclined to think that Nintendo wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade's technological storms, we think the Game Boy Advance is here to stay, and we're glad. --Porter B. Hall

THE COOLEST
This is the coolest thing! My friend just got one for his birthday and it's neat! I haven't played tony hawk on gba yet, but I played it on N64 and it was the chad!

Happy with GBA and TH2, forget the rest
As a Nintendo fan I was happy to see this unit come out.However, stay away from this bundle.The light unit and the power back can be bought seperately for less than the cumulatice price of the bundle and the wrestling game is just not fun.My advice get the GBA and Tony Hawk 2, just don't buy it in this package deal!

Much ado about nothing!
As an avid Nintendo fan, I was really excited about purchasing a Game Boy Advance this summer.So I got one, and was thoroughly disappointed.Not that the games aren't awesome and the graphics aren't smooth.I am disappointed that the screen is so difficult to see.Without a wormlight or other illumination, the screen of the Game Boy Advance is too dark to facilitate gameplay.Nintendo says they didn't include a backlit screen because it would have drained the batteries too quickly.They should have built in rechargable batteries and gone with the backlit screen.I am highly disappointed with my Game Boy Advance.Save your money.If you just HAVE to get one, Pelican sells a hooded light that also doubles as a screen protector.That gives you the brightest light with the least amount of glare on the screen. ...

BEST SOCCER GAME TO DATE!!
This by far the best soccer game i have ever witnessed. I from Europe and iit has all the teams i follow so I play with my favorite teams ( go Kaiserslauten). It features a great franchise mode that is nicly polished, and the tourny mode is graet for parties. This games proves that EA games is , will and continue to be a powerhouse in videogame industry. Anyone even a little bit intrested in the soccer world should definitly check this one out( make sure ou ahve ebough blocks on your memory card- and if you do not have it yet, get the 1019 block memory it's ideal for sports games that use up so many blocks.Overall=9.5/10
This wouldn't receive sportgame of the year(it would lose to mvp baseball 2004) but it's a fun ride that doesn't end.

My favorite game!!
This is by far the best game i've ever seen. The graphics are superb, and the sound is just plain awesome. The new create-a-player is great, because you can customize his nose, mouth, eyes, hair, sleeve length ect. And a much deeper career mode makes this the best soccer game available.

This Game is the best!!
This game is sooo tight. With the create a player mode, bone crushing graphics and just awesome I mean AWESOME gameplay. FIFA 2005 is the leading soccer game in the World. The tournament mode is so amazing, with a deep career mode. Their teams are all complete with every single player included. It makes my head spin using my best team Brazil. With Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, my team is unstoppable. WHAT ARE U WAITING FOR??? GET URS NOW!!!!!!! ... Read more

Lots of detail!
this games is a great game if you like to customize you car and every detail of it. I found no cons in the games.

A Travesty of a Title
This game is quite a travesty. Thank goodness I purchased it used from a third party dealer on Amazon. I will be selling it at my local Gamestop tomorrow for hopefully an small loss.
I can't comprehend the hype over this game. Perhaps, the positive evaluations are emanating from folks who haven't played other quality race titles or any good game before for that matter.
There is no improvement in this title over the first one. In fact, I popped in the old one just to ensure I wasn't delusional. It turns out I wasn't. NFS 1's graphics are almost identical and I believe the gameplay may be better in the first game. It certainly had more redeeming qualities, easier functionality, and was actually fun (but nothing serious like PGR2).
Driving all over town to find "the next race" may be one of the most annoying tasks I ever had the displeasure to endure in any video game. I had enough of those kinds of non-sensical chores in "Grand Theft Auto"; It justs takes away from a game that already doesn't have much to offer as a baseline.
Even the cut-scenes are total crap. They are are actually non-animated comic book like graphics. This is completely unacceptable in 2004-2005 on the XBOX when animations from Halo 1 & 2 and Ninja Gaiden are far superior.
From a racing perspective Project Gotham 2 totally steps all over this game in every single aspect (See my review of that).
EA racing games pretty much blow.In the past, I rented Burnout 3, another EA game, and whoa, what another incredibly overrated waste of time and energy. I will never again invest time nor money in an EA title. They have proven recently that they are incapable of putting out a quality game for XBOX.

No replayability no fun when u complete boooring
Need for Speed+Underground+2=????
i'm sorry EA this is going to be a bad review for ur game :(
Wow... the visuals, the performance upgrades, the cars.
It sounds great.
It sounded great when I bought it for ( oh i cant say what i bought it for)
It now sounds like a form of torture.
Now ive finished the game ive realized that the only good part of it is the soundtrack...and the idea
At first ithought that this game was soooo coool!!
Then I got to the last two levels...
It gets repetative!!! Really repetative!!! So repeatative its like chinese water torture. In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.In career mode you win about 20 races then you sign a new sponsor.
AND YOU DO THAT FOR ABOUT EVER
Then they seem to make you stop unlocking parts cars and visuals and the races become pointless...
all there is to do now is play free mode.
On the back of the case it says race or roam on 125 miles of open road.... HA
this is so UNtrue
yes the city is huuuge.. but it has about 5 other streetracing cars driving around and 30normal people cars...that come in 5diffrent varieties(hatchback, van, pickup, suv, and taxi)this may sound good.. but if you think about it , on 125 miles of road you encounter 3 cars every 5 minuites
the motorways(or for USA rreaderes highway or freeway)are absolutley emptty!!!(apart from one or two cars)
races are good. but you repeat the same one over and over again

the cars are amazing and the modding(or to the not knows CUSTOMIZING or CHANGING YOUR CARS STYLE AND APPEARANCE)is fantasatic with endlesss... etc...BUT no damage detail...
you see me going down the motaorway at 200 mph suddnley i crash into one of the few cars. it goes into slow motion for a second and then well...you emerge with no damage at all ( no wonder they had to put a saftey warning at the beggining...no wonder i always see people flying past my bedroom window at 200 mph and then killing themselves by crasing into so guys ride...expecting to emerge absolutley fine lol lol )



i reccomend not buying this but buying the first midtown madness.at least in that there is more traffic...which means more fun and crashes!"!!(with damage detail)
(just kifdding [lol] buy the game butdont expect much of it i also reccomend buying the first midtown madness.)

Can't See It?Take it to the Big Screen!
The Game Boy Player can be a great piece of hardware.There are a lot of games out there that, while designed for the small screen, require a lot of time and attention to detail, which can become a pain when playing on such a tiny screen.The Game Boy Player solves that problem, letting you convert any game from the countless library of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles to a bigger screen.The graphics obviously aren't going to improve (they usually look the same as on the GBA), but the bigger image saves the trouble of straining your eyes to make sure you didn't miss anything.

Of course, this is the only real advantage in having a Game Boy Player.It's really not an essential piece of equipment in the gaming experience; if you have no real interest in playing Game Boy games on a bigger screen, the money would be better used on something else.

Saves on Batteries
I don't consider myself a gamer but I do play more than I should. With that said I am very happy with this purchase. It has brought new life to my older games.

I'm glad I bought it.
I was a little concerned when reading the reviews of this product before i bought it. I read that there was an annoying box surrounding the game on the tv set. This was the biggest issue for me before purchasing. I wasn't sure how bothered I'd be by this, but i decided to buy it anyway. I have a gameboy advance sp to play while i'm at work but I find myself not playing it as often as I thought I would. Since I have a lot of my favorite games on GBA (Mario 3, Final Fantasy, classic Zelda, Minish Cap, etc.) I thougth it would be cool to be able to play them at home. Playing Mario 3 on my TV is so great, like being in junior high again! And I don't even find myself bothered by the surrounding box. You can put it on a full screen mode, but there are still bars at the top and bottom, probably due to the gameboy advance having a wider screen ratio than standard televisions. My only complaint is that you have to have another gameboy and cable for mulitplayer, which means I can't use GBA games for Monday video game night with friends. But that's minor. I was telling myself as I was buying it that I probably shouldn't be spending the money on it right now, but I am really glad I did. Especially after spending all morning playing the first Final Fantasy that was recently released on GBA. Classic! Oh and one more thing, if you are a kid in high school, you might not appreciate playing old school looking games on the big screen as much. But for us older folk, it's like revisiting those after school afternoons at your friend's house! ... Read more

WOW- But sorta hard
Man this is so cool! I don't even HAVE it, my friend brought it when she came for a sleepover and we practically played it all night! It is sorta hard, especially the Jasmine part, and Belle is the easiest, however I like Cinderella. You play as all six of the princesses so it's like 6 games in one.
Game controls (Note these are for Chapter 1, and you can press start to pause and you can open chests by going in front of them and pressing A):
Belle: B to throw snow ball, left and right to move, A to jump, down to make a new snowball.
Cinderella: A to bonk Lucifer on the head, B to clean the floor, Left and right to move.
Ariel: Up down left and right to move, B to blast with the trident.
Aurora: A to turn butterflys into fairies, B to put the guys to sleep, left and right to move.
Snow White: A to jump, B to sing and put the wicked trees to sleep, Left and Right to move.
Jasmine: Up down left and right to move. Go over a switch to activate it.

Varying levels of difficulty
This game was my 5 year old daughter's first for her new GBA SP.She was able to play Cinderella right away, and worked her way up to Sleeping beauty and Snow White, completing all the chapters for each.She found the 2nd chapter for Belle easier than the first, simply because she didn't know that Belle could make more snowballs (we figured this out by accident).Ariel and Jasmine are still a bit too complicated for her to get through (I found them difficult the first couple of times), but it is a challenge she looks forward to.I believe this range in difficulty is a plus for the game as any child can begin it and work their way up.

A Disney Classic
I'm an adult and I love video games. I chose Disney Princess because I'm an avid Disney fan. This game only took me a few hours to complete but was highly entertaining along the way. The single-player game is somewhat halting, with not a lot of room to move around (fixed paths to move in, you go where they tell you to go) in the game play but for any girls, ages reading level and up, it is fabulous. The colors are vivid and there are many levels with items you have to find while keeping your life up. I recommend this game for any Disney fan. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Oh no! It looks like your granddad was right--things really were better in the old days. At least they were if you liked 2-D platform games, and Yoshi’s Island is indisputably one of the best ever made.

Yoshi’s Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various Yoshis' attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. You don’t actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs, which he can then fling at more enemies.

Since Yoshi isn’t particularly fast and can float in midair for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo’s best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they’re joined this time, after the rather plain-looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now.

As with the other Super Mario Advance titles, this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk ... Read more

• Pair up with Yoshi and all his multi-colored friends to tackle Kamek and Baby Bowser in this fun-filled quest to reunite the separated twins.

• Master Yoshi's legendary moves including jumping, stomping, pounding the ground, laying eggs, eating enemies and throwing eggs using a targeted egg-throwing system. Clearing enemies out of your way is now more fun than ever!

Too MUCH Fun
This game is AWESOME! It was my first GBA game. BUT, there are some cons. Some levels are just too long and/or impossible. Many times I think i just get lucky. Anyway, my dad saw it and didn't put it down until he beat the game. (no, he didn't play for 24 hours straight.) A fantastic game for mario lovers (like me.) A great idea would be to BUY IT!

yoshis back
yeah, and its just as cool as it was on snes, man this game owns!!! i used to play it on the old system for almost 10 hours sraight, and now its back and better than ever! this is a must have for any gba owner!

Cute enough, but I just can't get into it
Super Mario World 2: Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. Phew! How about that for a title. I admit I found it a bit confusing putting these Mario Advance games in order but I think I've figured it out now. You gotta admit it's a bit convoluted.

This game is a simple 2D platformer like most of the retro Mario games only it has four more levels than the SNES version released in 1995. It's got easy-going gameplay in the typical Super Mario style, gorgeous graphics, generic sounds and not much to keep me interested. Yoshi IS impossibly cute but even for a guy who likes cute stuff this game is just TOO childish.
