Best at multiplayer mode.
Being an easy game in championship mode, the best is when played in multiplayer mode. Hours and hours of fun playing against friends and family.
Sort of Annoying, But Fun
It's a really good game. The thing that I like about it is that on the easy level, it is really easy. What I really don't like is that there are all these weapons that the other side uses that crash into you. Those can make you lose. Everything else about it is pretty fun.

Mario's back, and he's brought some freinds.......
Mario Kart Double Dash is essentially Mario Kart 64 and then some. The game brings alot of new cards to the table, which I will review below.

Very cute, sweet, and fun!
I haven't mastered playing this game very well yet, but it's great just like the super mario bros!
What you see is...
what you get. Its pretty straight forward, and its fun. Doesn't require too much effort or thought, but its a good fun game. Its nice to know that Princess Peach FINALLY got the game she deserved. Oh, I beat the game in one night and one morning, so be prepared for its ease.

Good Game
Good game, but over priced. I liked the game and its concept, almost passed it but the "toads" that you need at the end stopped me.. Good game for young female gamers, young male gamers may think its a little "cheesy" (according to my 12 year old cousin). ... Read more

the classic 64 and more
there is so much to do in this game and fun using different characters other than mario. at first the controls were confusing but once you get use to it, the game is a blast. There are many stars to collect and secret stars to find. Many missions in a small cartiage makes this game worth its value. It does get repetitive once you collect over 100 stars, but still fun. Recommended as a game you should get for DS.

THE BEST MARIO GAME!!!
I thought this game was AMAZING!!! The best part is exploring princess peach's castle. The thing is about this game is that it isnt side scrolling like all the other mario games. This is more like super mario sunshine. (but better) The levels are all different and unique in their own ways. I love the mountain levels where you have to climb big mountains! The Bob omb hills, The mushroom mountain place, and the twhomp towers are my favorites! (I forgot the real names) What makes it better is that you can play as yoshi, luigi, or wario also! Mountains, Mazes, Deserts, Oceans, Up in the sky, YOU CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH!!!!
An amazing Remake
Undoubtedly one of the best game ports I've played thus far. I have been an avid fan of Mario 64 since it's release on the N64 and this game did not disappoint.

A brilliant (and fun!) role-playing adventure...
First, let me say that I bought this game without being very familiar with the TALES series.While I had read good things about the series, it was really by chance that I stumbled across it on GameSpot, read the review there, took a look at the screenshots, and decided that I wanted to give this game a spin.
Fantastic Addition to the Tales Series
While the Tales series isn't nearly as big as other series (namely Final Fantasy), it's still a particularly fun and satisfying game to play.For one, the Tales series has always been able to bring about fantastic gameplay and expansive worlds.While the stories sometimes seem generic they're brilliantly told with fantastic characters.Tales of the Abyss is the latest in the series and needless to say, if you liked Tales of Legendia or even the far superior (and arguably best) Tales of Symphonia, you'll more than likely enjoy this game.

2 great Final Fantasies from the SNES era
These 2 games are probably (in my opinion anyway) the best ones in the series. I will review each game seperatly then make my comments on the collection itself.
An awesome game!
I had heard of how amazing Final Fantasy VI was supposed to be. So, I thought, I have to get this game, even if to just fill out my Final Fantasy collection.
A Good Investment
Two great RPG's in one package.Playstation owners who began Final Fantasy with the 7th installment can finally see what all the hype is about with VI.Final Fantasy V is also a great game, the first in the series where you spend alot of time in the menu combining abilities with accessories/equipment to customize your characters.

It takes some getting used to but then it really starts going...
I love the FPS genre.There's just something about running around and blowing things away that relieves the day's stress.That said, if you're new to the CoD games like I was then there's some adjustment to be had.It's not a straight run and gun kind of game.For one, varying degrees of movement and strategy are required to get at your enemies without getting taken out.Second, if you're used to a plasma gun with 400 rounds then the frequent reloading of historical weapons will take some getting used to.But all this adds to the great interface, graphics, and especially storyline of this great game.I can't wait for Call of Duty 3!

One flaw in multiplayer
The only flaw I can find in this game is that the multiplayer isn't very much fun.Playing locally with a friend means you just shoot him a lot while he learns the controls. No enemy AIs in the maps?

Great game- Buy call of duty 3 in november
This game is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only problem is that in order to get some achievments, you have to play it on veteran mode. Sometimes you will be near the end of a level and the checkpoint will occur right in the middle of a battle. One time I was getting shot at by a tank and it saved the game. Only three shots will kill you. I HAD TO restart the whole level and it took me another hour to complete it. ... Read more

Technically better, slower
The game is slower compared to its predecessor, it surprised me when I tried to put it in fast mode but actually it starts this way. I feel it is easier to make a goal (although I have only tried Semi Pro) than the previous version.
I like it so far
I just bought this game yesterday.The physics of the ball are unreal, even compared to FIFA 06 Road to the World Cup.It's almost too real, the way the ball bounces off the head, chest, etc.There are lot more shots blocked by defenders than in previous games.The manager mode is really indepth too - if you don't understand the way transfers work, youth academies, etc - you'll be a little lost in the game.But the game play is good, and most of the rosters are up to date - even if Ashley Cole is still with Arsenal, despite the fact that he was swapped for William Gallas on August 31, 35 days before the version came out. ...

Worth it!!!
While I was also sceptical about the 4-6 hour idea, the game is just so well done that I can't fault Valve for going the epispodic route.Would I have preferred HL3?Sure, but there is something to be said for not having to wait 2-3 years for the next one. . .As mentioned, the graphics are amazing on this expansion, noticable in almost every detail and in the lighting, which is incredibly realistic.Gameplay is great, with some interesting twists, old standby's like Barney and new combine baddies to overcome.Allin all a great game; can't wait for episode 2!Oh, I couldn't get the game to load off the disc from amzn, but it was relaitively easy to get from Steam. . .

Fantastic continuation of the Half Life story. Essential!
Half Life 2 is in my opinion the best computer game that has ever been made. So I was obviously very excited about getting my hands on this expansion. Firstly, I have noticed quite a few reviewers giving the game terrible reviews due to it not running correctly on their PCs. Well, I'm happy to say that I had no dramas whatsoever. I do however have broadband Internet, so the massive downloads that Steam based games require do not affect me too much. But I can understand why other people would find it all rather frustrating.
Absolutely outstanding. A must have. Period.
I can't believe the number of one star reviews and that this game has only 3 and 1/2 stars rating overall. It's ridiculous.

Shooting touch concerns...
For those of you having difficulty with ball release, this is for you:
HORRIBLE
This game is horrible. the charactors all run, shoot, dribble, and move the same. EA you guys are, as i said before but noone listens, the worst devoloper out there. GET 2K INSTEAD
NBA Live isnt ALIVE anymore.
Once the initial luster of shooting hoops during load screens and seeing realistic players drenched in sweat wore off, flaws such as missing features and impossible-to-make free throws made NBA Live 06 on the Xbox 360 a letdown. EA has addressed many of these problems in NBA Live 07, adding several game modes and superstar controls, but many key issues remain. As a result, NBA Live 07 again comes off as unpolished; it just happens to have more ways to experience the rough edges.

What a surprise!
My young son bought this with his birthday money because he liked the dinosaur on the cover.His 11-year-old sister took over rather quickly and figured it out completely on her own.She now helps him with the necessary reading.They spend hours playing this game and now they're asking about the new Zoo Tycoon 2 that we've seen in the stores.There's so much to do and learn (and keep track of) with this game.I played it for the first time myself the other night and found that the time just flew by while I was "playing."I highly recommend it!Good stuff.

Worth every penny!!!
I got this game a week or so after it came out, and I was impressed instantly. Sure, the updated rosters are always a nice treat, but the smoother gameplay and sharper graphics make it more enjoyable, even if they are minor. The running game is more improved, and the runners are easy to control, plus the highlight stick is so awesome! It is so fun to watch your favorite RB literally throw off a defender or make moves to have a defender look stupid. The franchise and other modes have some new features, but Superstar is much more improved. You play as only yourself, and I mean this, ONLY YOURSELF! You see the game from your player's perspective, and will only play as your player the entire time. Example: you are the QB and throw a pass. No matter what happens, you retain control over your player, which is very realistic. So, if you've liked the last few Maddens, you will be very happy with this one. Only two minor complaints; 1) The game will freeze sometimes at the end of plays. No issues there. 2) You have influence in Superstar, but if your teammates mess up, it hurts YOUR influence. This is the only, and I mean only part I found frustrating. However, except for those two things, this game exceeded my expectations greatly!

But The Ball Wasn't Even Thrown to Me!
The Hall of Fame mode rocks! Being able to create a character, go through the draft, and work towards making the HOF is an absolutely great addition. You can create any position and play the game from their perspective.
Madden 2007 Rocks!!

Probably The Best MK Game To Date!
I have been a Mortal Kombat fan since the original game and I am always impressed with each new MK game (although I have yet to play MK: Mythologies).
:0)
i like it,and i'm glad i got it because they gave it a low rating and i think it should get higher. I enjoy the konquest a little better this time, the fact that they brought out all the players scored extra points with me and the mini games was good for me enjoyable a keeper

Deception meets Shaolin Monks
It's Ocotber and that means another Mortal Kombat game is served up by Midway for the current gen systems. When I first heard about this game in June, I was very excited because I really enjoyed the last 2 MK fighters. The promise of every character from the series, create a fighter and improved online play sounded great. Well, the game, which is fun to play, doesn't reach the classic 5 star rating that many have given it. I like it, but I gave it 3 stars, which to me, equals an average rating. This is an average game at best, let me explain why.

WOW
I loved Xenogears and when it was known that they were going to bring out xenosaga I was so looking forward to it. Well 1 didn't disapoint which led to 2.!! Then there was 2, well talk about a letdown. Then the talk of 3 started. At first I was unsure if I wanted to lay down any more money and be disapointed yet again... But WOW am I glad I did. It was a beauty to watch and play. Many of the answers from games 1 and 2 can be found it breath taking cut scenes. Im not going to spoil things for you but just to say WOW isnt enough to discribe the CGI's and twist and turns. I just hope you enjoy this game as much as I have.

The most beautiful game on the market.
The game has a LOT of plot development and cutscenes.If you are into it then that's great.I find I scan for the gist and then move on to the next dialogue.That being said, all of the backgrounds are simply the best ever put on screen.I find myself actually commenting aloud to myself how beautiful the game is.The action is good and the plot does suck you in.Nothing novel in the battle system, while the plot managed to surprise me after playing both of it's predecessors.Completely worth your while.

With a story as detailed and absorbing as Xenosaga III's, it's nearly impossible to not be hooked.
Xenosaga Episode I remains a type of paragon for a story and character driven RPG.There was so much to tell in the game that players looking to sink their teeth into a 40 or so hour cinematic RPG wouldn't need to look any further, and would also be very satisfied.Episode II was a bit shorter and not quite as good as the first installment.However, Xenosaga III is as good as an RPG can get.I love to watch films with solid plots and memorable, meaningful characters. It is a pleasure to experience a video game that can achieve that kind of involvement through a long period of 40+ hours.Episode III, throughout its duration, constantly engrosses the player with the many plot developments, flashbacks, and insights into the many characters.Every primary characater is respected with deep explorations into their own motives and agendas.Everything about the game is meticulously crafted.Every bit of plot and dialogue builds upon itself from the intro all the way to the conculsion, and still there is room for much more to be pondered.

Worst Mega Man Game Ever.
The sun was rising, the clouds were forming, it was a beautiful day to purchase a Nintendo DS game. I was looking forward into buying Capcom's latest installment of its cult-classic Mega Man (Rock Man / X) series. Having replaying Mega Man X8 for PS2, I was ready for some old-school platforming action with some new surprises.
I tried to like this game...but it really does suck
I have always been a huge Mega Man fan.I've played and beaten the original Mega Man 1-8, and have also played and beaten Mega Man X1-8.The other side games like Mega Man soccer, the gameboy games, etc, I have not played but I decided to finally try Mega Man ZX for DS thinking it would be great.Let me tell you it definitely is not.
Rock On! (Megamerge!)
Mega Man ZX has a lot varieties for you to play. There are six biometals you need to collect and used before you can procede to your next destinations.

Frustration abounds!
As others have said, this was a much-anticipated game. I played Caesar II and III and was extremely excited when I heard that IV was coming out. It's okay, I guess
I am a real fan of Caesar III.It's a game that I've played literally for years.So when I saw Caesar IV, I grabbed it off the rack.When I played the game, my impressions were mixed.
Great Game- So Long As Your System is Up To Scratch
Caesar 4 is getting a reputation for being riddled with problems. This is unfortunate, as the game itself is a fine effort by developers Tilted Mill. They have achieved an admirable balance between maintaining elements of the earlier Caesar games, and providing something new. The improvements are certainly the graphics of the game, and also the distribution system. Where in C3 you had to make absolutely certain walkers did not have options of which way they could go, this no longer matters. Still, you do need to build in a certain way if you wish for success.

Fun Game But Some Parts Take Too Long
This is a pretty cool game that kills off the lonely, boring hours of my life, but I feel that some of the levels have too long of a time limit--Not that I can finish them that quickly, but I think they should be designed to be shorter levels. For instance, I think the Make the Moon level gives you 25 minutes to complete it. Well, that's just great if I have 25 minutes to kill, but that's quite a bit of time to just sit down and space out the world while I roll junk up into a ball. So like 10 tries on that level kills off 4 hours of my life, which gets me closer to my sweet, sweet death, but sometimes I like to have my playtimes in shorter fixes. For those times, I play Zuma, but I wish I could play a shorter version of Katamari.

Weirdly addictive, disappointingly short
I played this game with some friends out-of-town, and seriously had to acquire a PS2 just to satisfy my craving.Not a shooter game, not an rpg, you just roll.Seriously.It's surprisingly awesome actually - but my big disappointment came when after about 2 days of mildly committed playing, it was done.I'd beat it, and I'm really not a big gamer.And I don't know how much mileage I'm really gonna get out of the sort of limited 2-player mode.Maybe the sequel is better - I hope?
