Horrible
Call of Duty games are the same thing every game. Except now you can drive a tank at a fasinating speed of maybe 10 MPH with a gun that doesnt shoot straight. Right now im on a level where you have to advance two machine gunners firing at you with little to no cover.i hide behind this little wall and the bullets are flying past both sides. HOW DO YOU PASS THAT WITH A BAD GUN?? This game tries to hard also. They try to make it accurate down to the last detail. Which sometimes is ridiculous. No one in 1942-1944 lived and fought like your expected in this game with the horrible firing accuracy of the guns. Anyway, my point is dont waste your money. Buy Medal of Honor Frontline, or The original Call of Duty for PC. Oh by the way I am a huge COD fan. Not some guy who bought this never playing a Call of duty game before.

defining average
Call of Duty: Finest Hour was the first console version of the acclaimed World War II-themed first-person shooter Call of Duty series. On the PC, the initial game drew great critical and consumer praise for its frenetic, pulse-pounding historical battles, sweeping cinematic scope and state-of-the-art visuals. Within the confines of stringent console hardware limitations then, Finest Hour attempts to recreate those atmospheric effects and gameplay mechanics. This is not, however, a straight port of the PC title, but rather an all-new game that only borrows elements from its predecessor.
Good game but not worth the price of 50 bucks
This game is a game I picked up at gamestop when i was in need of a game. I think i got it for 20 dollars. This game is a good game to play but i would not have payed more than 20 dollars for it, its just not worth that kind of money.

Destruction Mania
I am very surprised this game does not have an "Intense Violence" description. You are basicaly blowing up everything you see. The upgrades you can buy are very helpful and destructive. For instance, you can turn a car into a surf board through the city or turn a pick-up-truck into a Yo-Yo.
Absolutely Boring
At First When I Got It, It Seemed Fun.Then As The Minutes Go By It Got Boring Quick.The Missions Suck, The Bosses Are Too Hard.I Just Sold My Game,If You Buy This Game You'll Be Doing The Same

HARD
this game is HARD, but very fun so if you want to pick between Fantastic Four or some other comic book game, just get the hulk... and if you do, collect your patience because this game will hand it to you. ... Read more

Crazy wacky fun!
This game is so much fun! You simply go around terrorizing the people of Earth and steal their DNA. What I think is the funniest part of the game is the first level when you are on a farm and you can make humans, cows, and even chicken do the chicken dance by hypnotyzing them. Awesomely great game buy it!

Take Me To Your Leader
This game is flat out awesome. It starts out when a scout saucer flown by an alien of the furon race is accidentaly shot down by humans conducting military research.The curiose humans send the alien to a research facility known as area-42.To rescue the lost furon an alien warrior named Cryptosporidium-137 (ie Crypto) comes to earth to save his kidnapped comrad the only way he knows how: by killing everything in his path.With several uber destructive weapons, an upgradable flying saucer, and telokenetic powers, I found this game to be loads of fun.There are missions that you must comlete but you can also roam freely about each of the cities, wreaking havok as you see fit.With a grand theft auto style free play system, I spent many hours melting my way through the american cities.The game truly feels like GTA with an alien element thrown in.Of course its nowhere near as offensive as GTA is.In fact, Destroy All Humans often made hilarious observations about 1950's society.As an added bonus, you collect human brains to use to buy new weapon and sauxer upgrades from Pox, your commander. All in all this game played great, was funny, and involving.This is definatly in my top 5 favorite games.Buy it now or you WILL be analy probed by aliens.

I love aliens

Namco Museum is worth the $20
This is a good colection of some of the classics, the main reason I got this was for Rolling Thunder and Xevious (since I've never seen them on any other collection of games). I used to love those 2 games when I was a kid. Most of the other games are cool but a good bit of them are already on other classic games out there (like Pac-man, mrs pac-man, galaga, dig dug ect...). The only things I didn't like was the load times and that you couldn't continue on Xevious. Other than that it's $20 of my hard earned cash well spent.

Nostalgic Namco
There is so much to say with nostaligic video games these days. Yet, with so many different games that have been coming back and definitely remaining a constant in the industry. That has been the case with Namco and their brand of video games. We've seen classics from their main attraction, Pac Man revive the company over and over again to still stand as a popular favorite for every video game system. That also was shown with the Namco Museum reflection of the classic video game library. While the games have all been released for each of the ssytems, another edition was over the horizon, without a quarter to place into the slots.
Namco Museum. It's great!

WHY NOT INCLUDE WITH XBOX SYSTEM???
A FEW YEARS AGO, WHEN I GOT MY XBOX GAMING SYSTEM, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A PICTURE OF A DVD PLAYBACK KIT ON THE BOX IT CAME IN.I THOUGHT THAT IT ACTUALLY CAME WITH THE REMOTE.WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT IT DIDN'T, I WAS PRETTY MAD BECAUSE YOU PAY $150 FOR THE XBOX, AND THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO COVER THE COST OF A REMOTE.I BOUGHT THIS REMOTE AFTER AWHILE, BUT THEN THE COST HAD GONE DOWN, SO I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT $20 WAS A LOT TO PAY FOR THIS REMOTE.THE REMOTE WORKED FINE, BUT WHY NOT INCLUDE IT IN THE XBOX PACKAGE.THANK GOD THAT I DIDN'T GET THE DVD REMOTE FOR THE XBOX 360 YET.THEY COST ABOUT $40.THAT IS TOO MUCH TO PAY FOR A REMOTE.I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DVD PLAYER, BUT I WOULD IF YOU DON'T.I THINK THE PRICE IS FINE, BUT THE PS2'S IS BETTER.

Simplicity
A simple DVD player, as long as you or a friend own an X-box console. Simply push in a little plastic knob into the controler socket and their you go oyu know own a standard of the line DVD player.The maginfacation is great the rewind and fastfrward is great.

I had fun........
this game is a very good game even if you dont like Military. Although it wasnt has good as the PC game (if you have a choice between the PC version and this one get the PC version). The different weapons and levels are good. But there is little re-play value (except to maybe boost your stats) and there we was some gliches i.g. Bad guys dont shoot at you when your 3 feet away. Not saying the AI is bad but..... its not the best. Overall this is a good game and worth the money. hope this help!

Buggy execution mars otherwise enjoyable game
Game has too many bugs/programming flaws. You can walk right through your teammates. They sit right on top of you when you're trying to shoot enemies, preventing you from shooting and getting you killed. Missing animations, such as people shooting non-existent rifles; enemies standing literally in the face of your teammates and neither engages each other, etc.
In no why is this game the best or even close
I found so many gliches it was pretty sad. At one point I was trying to hide between to boulders in a patch of grass and I FELL out of the screen and died. It was like a pit and I could see above me as if there was no ground. Very odd. Sometimes after performing the required objective (verified in the upper left) my team would just stand there waiting for the next order, which would never come so I would have to begin again from the last check point.

Ride Into The Sunset
Gun is a third person shooter for the XBOX. You play a gunslinger out to avenge the death of your father, who was murdered by outlaws. You go From town to town and accomplish missions which propell the story or take a side-quest to earn more money and develope your skills. The best way to describe this game, is Grand Theft Auto meets the old west. You have huge free-roaming levels. First let me get the negatives out of the way. When you travel through towns you will find NPCs (non player characters) walking about, chatting, there is even random crimes taking place. All these are nice touches and add the atmosphere of the gameplay, but the towns feel a bit empty. You will see rivers and lakes in the levels, but you cannot go swimming. Walking to certain areas of the map will be blocked by an invisible barrier; which subtracts from the fantasy. Although the game is free-form, there are a few linear missions, you have to finish through. Negatives aside, this is still an excellent game and should not discourage you from making a purchase. Gun has so many fun things to do; you can hi-jack/ride any horse that is not being used, you get an assortment of weapons like, pistols, rifles, shotguns, dynamite and bow with arrows. You can make stealthy kills with a knife and cut people's throats, become a deputy keep the peace in town, be a bounty hunter and bring down outlaws, hunt bears or wolves, do side missions for other characters or just follow the storyline. Everything in this game reminds of GTA except of course you're a cowboy instead of a gangster. Shootouts can be bloody at times as you can make headshots and blow people's brains out. Kids should not be playing this; for adults only. Hurting innocent people causes the law to come after you, but killing criminals is loads of fun (no pun intended). This game exciting, but can also be laid back if you choose to play that way. So if you like old west actions or western movies and wished a good game existed; this is the one for you!
Not enough of a good thing.
Neversoft takes break from the long-running TONY HAWK series and enters completely new territory with GUN, attempting to meld free-roaming gameplay with classic adventures of the American West.It is not a particularly successful experiment, though it has its moments.
This game is great
this game has subtle hints of "the good the bad and the ugly" in it.Your character is similar to clint eastwood's "blondie" character in his italian western movies.its a lot of fun to play.like grand theft auto, you don't have to do only missions and there is a free roam.you can buy guns, knives, whiskey...its alot of fun to play.alot of missions ot choose from.the gore is hilarious.BUY IT ...

Great Adventure Fun with Blood and Fighting
Mortal Kombat continues in its series of bloody death matches with Mortal Kombat - Shaolin Monks. However, this game is more adventure a la Gauntlet.
Me and my husband loved it
I have been playing mortal kombat since i was small and my mom bought me that first one i have been playing it ever since so i was a bit iffy just playing with only 2 people from mortal kombat when my husband bought it home for us to play together, we're just use to the straight up one on one fighting but i gotta admit playing it was great, fun and playing it with my husband made it even better...
A better version of MK2
This game makes an action/adventure twist to Mortal Kombat. You can go on an quest to kill Shang Tusng. Or you can play VS mode ane play with these characters (Youll have to unlock all of them except Kang and Lao) Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Cage, Kitana, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, and Baraka. Also, you are able to unlock the original MORTAL KOMBAT II. So you should buy this game and prepare the next bloody fight of the Shaolin Monks Liu Kang & Kung Lao. Q-Ball OUT! ... Read more

terrible game
This game's levels are impossible to beat without replaying them 10- 30 times each, sometimes 50 times.If you enjoy repeating and repeating the same actions until you are destroyed at the same spot on a level, this game is for you.

It's A Go...
I was intrigued by the degree of the reviews of this game and being a Galactica fan myself when it first aired, curiosity got the best of me. I give it a big thumbs up.
Brilliant, except for the much-mentioned lack of savegame ability
Visually beautiful, awesome physics (about halfway between real world and the TV series, usually in your favor), perfect soundtrack and voice acting.Story and technology is a seamless blend of old and new series ideas, and the viper is the most fun-to-fly vehicle in any game I've played.

Wow they always get better
wow. the gameplay is a bit different from winning eleven 8, but that only makes it funner. dont be like fifa. fifa is always the same it seems like, but with a more updated roster. Online is fun for this game. there is 1 problem with online, most the time you get one half of lag while your oppoint doesnt. then he gets the lag the second half. but all you gotta do is D one half then go out attacking the next. Master League is great. Wow never gets old.im in year 2010 so i mean it keeps going and going. you may have trouble scoring, but you just gotta find the right formation.
Great animation!!!! But where are the fouls?
When you are in div. 2 in master league they call a lot of fouls on the himan player but not cpu. then div 1 they dont call as many fouls on u but there is still no fouls on the cpu. when i am runging beside em and they do not fall down i get yellow cards. but then they trip me in the "PK Box the refee says it was clean that is the only bad thing about other then that it is great..

Fantastic Game
I was excited when I finally got my copy of the new Winning Eleven series. I owned WE8 for the last couple of months and immensely enjoyed it. WE9 is no different. There seems to be some difference in game controls but the game play stays the same. I think they followed the "if ain't broke do not fix it" which works with WE series. I noticed that the shots became a bit more sensitive to the touch and more powerful. Not to mention there are more licensed teams, especially Arsenal and Chelsea. However, with this franchise you don't notice what the team or player names are since you loose yourself in the game.

Bestest Baseball
This is the best baseball game available.I love the Owner mode where I can control stadium size, ticket cost, concessions, attractions, etc.It's cool to feel like you can actually do more than just play baseball.But you can do that too if you do not like the extras.
The Best Baseball Game Ever
This is definately the best baseball game ever!!!Take my word for it (i have every baseball game dating back to Major League Baseball feat. Ken Griffy Jr. for Nintendo 64). This game basically everything an avid fan could ask for.From the hitters eye, mini games, and the owner mode, MVP Baseball 2005 won't ever get old.Although these new features are coming in, all the old modes that you'd expect from a baseball game are still intact.You have dynasty mode, create a player, home run derby (Home Run Showdown), and a roster manager.I could go on for days writing about this game, but I'll let you find the rest out for yourself.If you were to purchase this game, you'd never need to buy another baseball game.
The best baseball game there is!
This game is miles ahead of MLB 2k5, and now that they are both $20 dollars this is clearly the best choice. The graphics, fielding, batting, and pitching are all better than 2k5's. The game is filled with little things that you'll keep working at, like unlocking tons of classic stadiums, players and jerseys (although the left out some pretty famous 'classic' players like Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Yasterzemski and Ted Williams while including Phil Rizzuto, but that's really nothing). And when you do a dynasty or owner mode you'll have goals you try to complete (in franchise mode they have to do with player performance and in owner money. Like lead the league in SO, and then make a certain profit). The game is also filled with tons of options to make the game harder or easier. Once you play for a little youll slowly move up (Rookie, Pro, All-Star, and then MVP). Once you have 'mastered' the game you should move up to MVP, the game can be pretty hard and you'll stop putting up incredible numbers (like a sub 1 ERA). And even if MVP is easy you can change the options to make it harder! (You can make hitting, pitching, running, and fielding and tons of other things easier, or harder for you.) It's one of those easy to learn difficult to master kinds of games. But lets go over each indivdual aspect of the game.

A totally awesome game but lacks in a few things
I recently just purchased this game over amazon and had no problems even though it came from a third party. It came shipped just like you would have bought it in a store.I bought this since I saw a friend playing the newest installment of the Prince of Persia series.He recommended it and Now onto the game of what I thought.
One of the best
This is the best Xbox game ever!! Once you get rolling with the action..it's hard to put the controller down. I just received The Warrior Within from my fiancée over the weekend and I'm soooo looking forward to starting the new journey.

Yea...it's THAT good!
LOVESIT!!! This is one of those adventure games that you just can't stop playing. The graphics are amazing, the sound is great, and the gameplay is incredible. It's amazing how fluid the prince moves in this game and how he controls. You can do amazing looking acrobatics, run across walls, and slow down ladders with ease and without complication. One thing I absolutely love about this game are the puzzles. They always make sense and although some are quite hard, they add a great depth to the game. They are all pretty similar in how they are completed, usually having to go from point A to point B. This is something I found great. I'm not too fond of games that have a great deal of backtracking involved; to me this ruins the excitement of the game. The combat system in the game is also a major plus. The prince can hold one of several swords, in which he can easily slash threw enemies with. Even though these are all great things, probably my favorite aspect of the game is the ability to go back in time. Let's say you accidently fall to your death in the middle of a pretty lengthy part of the game. What are you going to do?, restart and try all over again? No! You can easily just go back in time and try again from seconds before the death, that is if you have any Sand power left. All in all, this game is a great action/adventure title perfect for any gamer in the mood for a very fulfilling story and game.

CHEAT CODES ARE A MUST !
this game is a good expantion of the film and uses elements from the book witch make it a "must have" for hard core star wars fans.however,the difficulty is hard even on easy and it does get repeditive after a while (cutting open doors & panels)
review from a 9-year-old who has alot of star wars games
It is a cool game except when you beat the game it starts to get really boring. The only fun thing to do is multi-player. The bosses in the game are so hard. I think it's a bad game.

unique and engaging but not quite achieved
The room entales events before silent hill 2 i believe.The 1st person aspect has great, but needs more solid ground.The story behaves like it should and ties up loose ends about the killings fetured in the second silent hill.I'm not to fond of this one having ghosts that can't be killed or dispelled,which drops the replay value on this one.Controls handle well and the swing gauge is a great feature.this one seems short also.
Don't waste your money!

Silent Hill?
I am a tremendous Survival Fan, I own even the lesser known titles such as Over Blood and the Ring. Silent Hill is one of my all time favorites, I was hooked from the first title. Silent Hill has a surreal and over all creepy atmosphere to it. There is often darkness, fog and decay in their stories. I have loved 1, 2 and 3. I had my hopes pretty high for Silent Hill 4. Unfortunately those hopes were wasted.

As good as any other top fighter, just nicer graphics.
DOA ultimate is a good fighter. It is probably third when compared to its contemporaries, Soul Calibur II and Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. I personally feel that including DOA 1 was useless, but some people like it. If you are a fighter nut and have never tried DOA I'd say get it. All you need to remember is as soon as you open it go to the place in the manual about the counter system, and learn it well. It is the key to success. It is easy to some people, hard to others. Like in real martial arts, you need to be able to determine the angle of the attack before it gets far, the differences in the game being high, mid, and low, like other fighters. Train your eye in this and DOA 2 ultimate won't be impossible, but still a challenge.
In a word? Fantastic!
