A MUST HAVE FOR XBOX GAMERS!!!
This is the one thing that I would very much recommend to anyone who wants something that will transfer files, and XboxLive profiles.This is a great thing that would greatly decrease the risk of ever losing your most important files.The only thing that I think is too low on this Memory Unit is the actual amount of memory on it. (8MB)This would be good for casual gamers who don't need much space, but for hard-core gamers, I would recommend buying 2 or 3 of these.Overall, these Memory Units are a great addition to the Xbox acessory family.The price is good also.BUY THIS!!!

Memory Unit
This thing is great for moving your char. profiles and even your XboxLive account around. My friend and i always bring this thing over to each others houses on weekends so that we can play on the same TV. Thses things are great.

An ideal device for youre Xbox.
Don't let the naysayers fool you...8 MB is very large and easily holds up to 10 game saves, which is ideal for transferring data between two Xboxs....i couldn't live without this memory card since my xbox died and i didn't want to lose my saves...ideal!!! ... Read more

Graphics or motion problems galore
Some of the courses on the PC game work great and are a lot of fun. Other courses, such as Bethpage, Pumpkin Ridge, Kapalua, do not work properly. The motion of the graphics is segmented so that timing becomes almost an impossible challenge. Not on every shot, but enuff to ruin a score on the hole and with a few problem shots on different holes, the round. The 2005 game does not have this problem and its graphics are far superior in any event. Really hope that this problem is corrected for the PC game in '07.

can't really complain too much
this is probably the funnest, most addictive game i've ever played. i bought 2004 a couple years ago and i've been a fan of this series ever since. the graphics are great, and the game play is very realistic. it's almost like you're watching golf on tv when you play this game. one thing i like about this game is that you never run out of challenges. with the real time event calendar there's a new challenge every day, and with the pga tour season mode, and rivals mode you never run out of things to do. i've been playing this game for a couple months now and i still havn't beat it. this game is great, but there are a couple things that keep it from being a full 5 stars. once you create a golfer, and build his statistics up until they're maxed out the game gets really easy. it's still a lot of fun but you never lose and rarely hit a bad shot. i also thought there should be a lot more golf courses in this game. playing the same couple courses over and over again starts to get old after awhile. another thing that i don't really like is the game breaker feature. it was cool at first when i first started playing the game but some of the shots you can make when your gamebreaker meter is full are just rediculous. i used my gamebreaker on one shot and the ball landed in a bunker, rolled up and out of the bunker, through the rough, onto the green, and into the hole for an eagle. thats just rediculous. its basically cheating. you can knock down eagles and double eagles like nothing with a gamebreaker. lastly, there are a lot of glitches in this game. sometimes you'll find the announcers talking about something completley different than whats actually going on. you'll get the ball on the green and they'll yell oh what a nasty shot, its in the rough. this happens a lot throughout the game. all complaints aside, this is a great game, it's fun, addicting, and definatly worth the money. i'll be buying 2007 as soon as it comes out.

Hole in one
This games is great. I am a new fan of sports games. I have been playing this with other guys at work (I have a great job) and we have been rocking the house taking turns and rooting each other on. Even the girls get into watching.

Max Payne 2 - the makings of greatness
Max Payne on the PC was one of the craziest games I've ever played. I still play it once in a while for nothing more than its all out gunning madness. It truely was a visceral experience from front to finish, which came all too soon. That is probaly my biggest gripe with Max Payne 2 is that it is also somewhat short. Though, there is greatness to be found in this game. The is depth to be found in it's simplicity. The run and gun tactics make for one intense experince that you will easily want to relive. Graphically, Max Payne 2 on the xbox is pretty sweet. There are no reflective effects such as the ones found on the PC and sacrifices have been made in the explosion department, but its likely you wont notice. The game looks and plays too good to complain. The story is deep and lost me on a couple occassions, still this made me want to replay those levels. No matter what your reason, you will want to revisit this game even after beating it quickly the first go around. Xbox shooter fans, do yourselves a favor and buy this game. It is one heck of an experience offering some of the best graphics, rag-doll physics, and gameplay around. Highly recommended.

Holy Guacamole!
This game is spectacular! It has no flaws. The first game limited you, and, no offense to the designers, had the most hideous facial graphics ever! In Max Payne 2, he has great facial graphics. The game is more like a movie, it has calm scenes that may be in the NYPD offices and apartments to The Cleaners (Hence the name) and The Fun House (Hence the name again).
Rock Star's Finest
The innovative Grand Theft series gets all the press, but for me, Max Payne is tops.As far as 3rd-person action/shooters go, it can't be matched.The graphic novel cut-scenes are compelling and, along with the moody orchestral score ( think the Angel theme ), really draw the player into Max's noir state-of-mind.Yeah it's short, but a game this fully imagined and atmospheric is a rare thing.If only all M-rated games were as sophisticated and intelligent.Sure there's blood, profanity, and a little sex, but it's never excessive or gratuitous and it serves to enhance the grim story, always reminding the player that this ain't Marioland.To wrap it up, every single aspect of this game is expertly done: Gameplay, levels ( the theme/amusement park is genius ), sound, voice-acting and story.Highest recommendation, can't wait for #3! ...

KO Mohammad Ali !!
This game is great fun, high on adreline, good graphics and the best of all, lands your punch like no other :) Among the highlights, I loved the ESPN Classics where you can relive the greatest boxing rivalries that existed in the world. By taking on the role of a previous champ, you get to play his moves! For instance, Ali is nimble, has stamina etc. while Frazier has deadly power behind his punches. But ofcourse, the main highlight of the game is the career mode, where you get to create your own boxer and make him a champ in any weight class! The game has amazing punch control and is extremely addictive. On the negative side, it lost charm after 40+ fights - coz most of my rivals had better physical fitness ratings than my boxer :( Overall, highly recommended - you will love it till you get tired of it.

Serviceable, but riddled with minor imperfections
I decided to rent this title after seeing this game being played by some of my brother's friends on the Xbox 360. With my curiosity, and my newfound powers as an 18-year-old, I rented it and popped it into my Xbox. What I had expected was a good fighting title that would consume many hours of my life. Unsurprisingly, it did... for the first day.
I don't own it because I have a question that I want someone to answer
People who own this video game I want to know what weight classes are in this game. I know their is going to be Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Hevay Weight, and Heaveyweight but is their classes like super middleweight or Jr. Lightweight? Tell me all the new weight classes if their is any new ones.

A Must Buy...
I have the original Karaoke Rev. and this one is better than the first. More songs you and your kids can recognize plus you get to make your characters. I have made a few for myself and my kids. They love it as much as I do.

Fantastic, but could use more songs
I bought this game after playing Karaoke Revolution for a while with my wife.I was trying to find something to pull her away from American Idol, and so we could do something a little more interactive.These games are a blast!I will say that Karaoke Revolution Party is a little more fun because you can create custom characters (wild, wild stuff), and the character dance moves are a lot better.However, Karaoke Revolution has a number of great Motown hits that Karaoke Revolution Partydoesn't have.Both games should feature more songs, because after you've played for several hours, you feel like you've sung them all.The download feature is kind of a scam because it's five bucks for a couple of songs (and there haven't been any new download packs added since the game was released).Still, the included songs are top-rate and the game is a blast no matter what. ...

Alcohol and Tiger woods - the greatest duo since Lennon and McCartney
Tiger, Tiger Tiger... This game is somewhat of a letdown? I mean - there is so much more to the game that we don't get to experience... where is the Phil "I have man boobs" Mickelson getting up tiger for not having the best equipment... Where is Tigers smokingly hot wife? Where is john Daley throwing down a six pack before the third tee? Where is the option to use the broomstick putter? I mean - come on EA - give me 30 minutes with your design team and we will have much more realistic golf game.

Great game just too easy
Tiger Woods 2005 is a lot of fun. I had the 2003 version and this was a big upgrade. The game would be ever funner if it wasn't quite so easy.It is kind of stupid too play in a PGA Tour event and shoot 85 under par while the second place guy is at -6. ... Read more

Stunning fun!!
I LOVE this game!! It is unlike any other xbox(or computer) game I have ever seen/played. The visuals are gorgeous.The gameplay is challenging(well,for my 57-year-old hands,anyway),but doable.I did get killed quite a few times before I killed off one boss and his minions.But fighting with them was lots of fun. The characters walking around are pretty funny,and the Stranger himself has a laid-back-Clint Eastwood kind of delivery,with a little bit of Tom Waits thrown in.I really like the "live ammo" idea. The creatures you gather throughout the game have all sorts of interesting powers.A skunk-like thing that makes your enemy barf;the chipmunk things that tease your enemies so you can pick them off;and my favorite: the hairballs with teeth that drive your enemy nuts so you can do away with them in no time.
Excellent for any Gamer
Oddworld has made some great games in the past and this one is no exception. It happens to be my favorite out of all of the series. If you have an X-Box this game is a must buy and I'm really hoping for a sequal.

like it better than the pc version
i bought this game the very first week it came out, knowing nothing about it, and i love it. this game has average graphics, fast gameplay, and smooth easy to remember controls. it is not all that great on single player, but to bring out the up most fun in this game, you would need x box live. this is one of the best first person shooters today. just as good as halo, halo 2 in my opinion.
BUY OR DIE
I could write a lengthly reveiw but I'll be breif. Short of halo 2, this is the best xbox live game out. BUY or DIE!

A Classic, must-have for xbox!!!!
This game is unbelievable. It is, after over two years still one of the most popular games for xbox and when you play xbox live, you can always be sure to find players online. That is an example of how good this game is. Two years!!!!!

A great substitute for GTA, especially for younger kids.
This game is definetly the best Simpsons game ever.I personally enjoyed the free-roam style, and since I'm not allowed to own GTA, this is a great alternative.Theres not much violence to speak of, the only thing that may be considered violent is when you run over pedestrians.Nothing happens to them, they just yell at you and get back up.You can also get out on foot and attack the peds with kicks, but again nothing happens.There is plenty of interactivity in the game, for example, when you go into the Kwik-e-mart, you can make the slushee machine blow up and squirt slushie all over the place.The driving controls aren't that bad, but they could be better.The missions aren't too repetitive, but they are sort of thin, and its easy to see the same concept was used for many of the missions.One mission has you collecting loose monkeys that are spread throughout the city (which hardly seems redone anywhere else in the game) The game does best with the different areas split up, because it would take far too long to get from one end of Springfield to the other.I've played GTA before, and its probably the easiest game to get lost in.Simpsons Hit and Run is a good alternative as a non-violent Grand Theft Auto, the grpahics are pretty good, the voices are straight from the actors of the show, the music is good.It even has a dialogue control, so if you are offended by minor swearing, you can turn off voices. (Just remember to trun them back on to watch the awesome cut scenes)

Same old Simpsons but wacky new game!
This game is fun because you get to play as all the Simpsons in their crazy wacky world. This game is also full of Simpsons humor with lame jokes and gags. On this game you get to drive around in multible cars and compete in races and missions. Also the cheats for this game are super fun you can make your car invincible or faster or when you honk your horn your car jumps 50 feet in the air!

For any Simpsons Lover. Period.
I do so love this game! Ironically, I hate Grand Theft Auto with all my guts, so to love a rip-off of it...

fun experience
To start off, Hitman 2 is a great game. Tons of options are always availble about how to complete a mission. Will you go in with guns blazing or disguise your self and use stealth as your weapon? It's up to you. This game is fun and offers quite a bit of replayability. The graphics are decent but not exceptional. Though the game has great character animations, the characters A.I. can sometimes be a bit wonky, though overall it has no affect on the experience of the game. It kept me interested and hooked me for quite a while. This game is most definitely worth checking out.

Number #47
Hitman 2 for the Xbox is an action game that can be played in either 3rd person view or first person. You are an assassin with no name, your are just called "47". You'll run into mafioso,political and military characters. Using every type of weapon found in most FPS, your goal is to kill your target. The targets are usually heavily gaurded with bodyguards, and soldiers. Since you are outnumbered, it's better to be sneaky and that is where changing disguise comes in. You can kill a civilian or one of their own personel and change your clothes, to fool them, and get close to your target. Wait! There is one problem...you have a barcode printed in the back of your head! So you must walk backwards or sideways so noone can see your barcoded noggin (which blows your cover). Hitman 2 is tense, has good puzzles and the action is bloody and brutal. But the game is severly scripted, difficult, and hard to control, killing much of the replay value.
Excellent game
A lot of people tend to compare Hitman 2 to Splinter Cell, but the two really have very little in common.Although Splinter Cell is a very good game, I would say that Hitman 2 is actually more enjoyable.This is probably because Hitman 2 offers a greater degree of freedom; you're given a target and a couple of guns at the start of each mission, but how you complete it is entirely your own decision.You could go in with guns blazing or play the entire mission without killing anyone but the target, all of which greatly increases the game's replayability.The graphics are also beautiful, with some of the best textures and water effects I've ever seen in an Xbox game.On the negative side, the story is a little recycled (save the world from a terrorist with a nuclear weapon AGAIN) and a couple of the missions are almost ridiculously hard due to poor AI (as in overly paranoid guards or disguises that don't work no matter what).These are just minor flaws, however...At twenty bucks for a Platinum Hits edition of the game, it's a steal. ...

fun at it's best
When america wanted food we gave them McDonald's, when America wanted entertainment we gave them Carowind's, now when America wanted a game with infinate replayability we gave them GTA. Rockstar never ceases to amaze soceity what with their controversial game's that we can't help, but to love. Trust me people these are the games that you want. Stealing cars, blowing things up, killing the public and ruling the world never get's old. Many side missions, huge landscapes, plains, motorcycles........ THE WORLD!!!!! Just look out for the cops.

How can you not give it 5 stars?
What a fantastic package this set is!Great gameplay, great storylines, great missions, and great just about everything else.
Nice!
Vice City....a wonderful game!I am approximately 90% or more finished with game and it was a blast.I got stuck on one level though and went on to other games, but this one is still on my agenda to complete.If you like the GTA titles and loved Miami Vice when it aired, then go out and grab this game.You will love it! ...

GAUNTLET NEEDS FOOD, BADLY!
Gauntlet took the traditional dungeon crawl style made popular by the pen-and-paper role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons, and amped it up to an insane degree by tossing billions of monsters at four heroes from a top-down perspective.Your heroes, in turn, were armed with medieval weaponry that they hurled at ridiculous speeds, machinegun-style.
Good mindless eye candy- don't expect more and you'll enjoy it
If you compare the cost of buying this movie from a Used reseller vs the cost of a bad summer action flick then this game is a bargain. I actually enjoyed this game. Nothing deep to figure out, just pick up the controller and mash buttons with a friend.
Co-Op or No-Op...
"Gauntlet" is `born anew' in Midway's latest update of its legendary franchise, which tries in vain to add grit and a storyline to attract new players. While the story is mildly interesting, it's still quite simple - an emperor betrays his four immortal heroes (warrior, valkyrie, elf, and wizard) in an attempt to steal their powers, but rescues them in the nick of time while sacrificing his own life. Naturally, as this is a game about dealing death on a massive scale, this event triggers all kinds of beasts to stalk the land, while the emperor's advisors turn into twisted versions of their former selves and must be dealt with one by one (can you say boss battles?). For a "Gauntlet" game, the story is quite complex - but obviously that's not saying much when you consider that "Gauntlet" has rarely had anything that even resembled a storyline playing behind its action.

a grand collection
i played all 3 titles 2times! while vice and 3 lack the cheats of san andreas, i can't believe someone gave the dual xbox pack a 1star. i'll cap the FOOL for making fun of vice. for those who are looking for a way to break game time in vice, here's a trick. take a police car, park it in your garage, activate vigilante, go outside and enter within time limit this:Black white R L white black x y b y white L, then, go to the vechile again for your next target.

With games like these...
Who needs another game!The Grand Theft Auto series has taken to heart one important concept that has been lost by the majority of game designers.Replayability.While most will toss in a few difficulty levels or character classes in the name of replayabillity, they really give you the exact content with minor tweaks.I promise you this game really gives you hours quite literally hours of replayabillity.With San Andreas alone, I played about 100 hours before beating the game and this wasn't with 100% completion.

Great system...but...
Yes, the Xbox has to be the best video game system I have ever bought. I own, also, a GameCube, me being a big Mario fan (Sierously, who isnt?). I've had my Xbox for, oh, two years. But recently, it has died. I'm not sure what went wrong. The cords are fine. I've even bought replacement cords, but it just wont come to life. I was thinking of buying an Xbox 360, until I read all the bad reviews. Apperently, the 360 has some kinks in it. So, I plan on buying another Xbox. If I were you, I would purchase an Xbox, not a 360.
Great Buy!
I have owned an XBOX for over 3 years now and it was really the best gaming machine of the last generation.Mine has worked perfectly, I love the music soundtracks where you can load your own CDs unto the hard drive and play them instead of certian game sountracks.
To bad the XBox lasted only two months
When I bought the XBox on 6-11-06 it came at a very good rate of time, my son enjoyed it then as we returned from a vacation he turned it on and we saw smoke I don't feel paying for an item at this price was fair to only have it for two months.

Awesome at the discounted price!
This is a great game. Quite challenging and at times too challenging. I found myself wondering at times if the games makers even wanted you to be able to finish this one. If you didn't finish "Kingdom Under Fire the Crusaders", don't even get this one because it will be too much for you. You'll break many valuable objects in your house. It can be quite frustrating. If you were one of the seemingly very few of us that did finish the Crusaders then this is a must have and it is a steal at this price. The graphics are a little better than the last installment, the voice acting not quite as good, and yes they still have the crappy rock music. The biggest complaint people seemed to have with the last version was the music and the lack of the custom soundtrack which was promised on the box. It's like the creators said "oh you didn't like the music huh??? well you can stick it cause here it is again". It's still a great game and well worth the price even if just for the story lines of the seven characters in this one. It fills in some of the plot holes and unanswered questions from the last one.
Good, but not great
I've played and beaten the other Kingdom Under Fire game, it was pretty good, but not the best. The graphics were nice, and the music will get on one's nerves every so often, the gameplay will get boring and you will move on to another fun fulfilling game in a matter of minutes if you can't get into this one in time. I'm not going to speak for other people, but the game requires you to think more than to have any action time, which is good in some ways. The game makes your brain work more instead of going through the game hacking and slashing to the end which is one reason the game deserves 3 stars instead of four or five. Oh, the new Kingdom Under Fire game for the 360 will be better than the other two put together, trust me and IGN on this one.
Best game of 2005
The kingdom under fire series are by far the best games that I have ever played. Being a huge fan of fantasy, these games let me live the battles that I dream about,not just watch them, though The Lord Of The Rings movies captured my love for fantasy. Anyway back to the game. The KUF series has everything I've ever wanted in a game, BIG, VIOLENT, BATTLES. The amount of freedom you have on the battlefield is HUGE, and the number of characters that appear on screen make you feel like you've entered an epic medievil(not sure how to spell it) battle. The only thing to complain about, in my opinion, is the steep learning curve, especially in KUF: Heroes, since the developers expected you to have played the first one. Heroes should be a breeze for the KUF veterans like myself, but for a newcomer, like I said, it will bea little overwhelming. But if you are new, dont give up because you cant figure out where or how to position your troops, just keep playing and you'll appreciate the scope and accessability of the battles in Heroes. overall, I think these games are great, but I know they are not for everyone.
