Things couldn't have been better for Nintendo....until 1998. That's when things went up a notch for the Game Boy line. People don't want light. People don't want thin copies of the system....okay maybe they still wanna fit it in their pockets, but what the people were asking for...is color. +This game is almost like watching a full blown movie. I loved the way they told the story, almost like a comic book, which is really cool. Bullet-time is also a nice feature, for a video game that was really original and almost every game has tried to copy it since. +Still maim-ability doesn't mean that when you shoot them in the leg they won't be able to run again. They'll limp for a few seconds and then be as good as new, except take a lot less shots to kill. + + +9476 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You'd probably mistake this as just another regular cartridge port of Ms. Pac-Man, but if you did, then you couldn't be more wrong. +I ran this on a Pentium 4, with XP and a 64MB GF3 card. +1848 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got a great deal on this used PS1 game. My girlfriend plays this classic game and enjoys it a lot. She's not much of a gamer. The disc seems to be in great condition with no scratches and plays perfectly. There's a few tiny "cracks" within the inner ring of the disc, but this is common and DOES NOT affect the actual disc itself. It seems like an alright game to me, just not my style, which is why I gave it a 4/5. But a lot of people seem to like this game. It's a great kids game as well. +Story 5/5 Gameplay 5/5 Music 5/5 Powerups 5/5 Overall 10/10 = A+ +Storyline 10/10: The story is absolutely captivating! Though it starts out pretty simple and generic (the galaxy and Corneria are being threatened by Venom, someone save us, etc.) the backstory behind it is pretty detailed, the intro is epic, and the story itself takes on a whole new life when you start playing! Actually, YOU are the one who controls the story to a degree: you can pretty much decide, through skill and/or choice, whether things go great or awful for the Star Fox team, a heroic pilot crew you can manipulate. You control Fox McCloud, and only Fox McCloud, but you also associate with the three pilots of Peppy, Slippy, and Falco; why, just protecting Falco and doing certain actions on the first level can decide which way the story goes! This game does a great job of drawing you into its world and making you want to figure out what's happening. + + There is movie editor +What made this game the best in the series? Well, it took what was good about the first game and multiplied it many times over adding two new characters to the Resident Evil Universe: Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie R.P.D. cop fresh out of the academy and is reporting for duty. +Bloodlines came two years after Super Castlevania IV and while IV has some better graphics and definitely some better sound quality, it has its own merits. Sure, you go kill Dracula... so what? Actually, the plotline itself is a refreshing change from the others. In this one, you can choose to be either John Morris or Eric Lecarde, which allows a different change of pace of having just one character to start off with (faintly similar like Castlevania III for the NES, except in that game you start with just one). The graphics are essentially good for the Genesis, so I have no complaints (YES, they're better than the NES). +3393 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 worked for a while then died :( but I got some use out of it +The story is amazing, and only Final Fantasy 10 has really compared. Final Fantasy 6 was such a great title, that I never thought anything could top it, but FF7 just drew me in and didn't let me go. I couldn't believe the intrigue, the depth, the complexity of the story. I found myself on edge at school (I was in high school when it first released) and I couldn't wait to get home to play it. When Cloud goes against Rufus near the end of the Midgar arc, I knew I loved this game. When it took over 2 hours of game play to get to a world map, I knew something was special. And when the game cuts (in real time) to the CG of Junon's cannon, I was stunned. + +548 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This wasn't widely released in America though those who have played it swear by it as being just as fun as Mario Kart 64. I agree with this comparison. However this has some fun twists that Mario Kart 64 lacks. One such twist is that laps occur when you get to the bottom of the hill and jump back on the lift. This can cause for some HILARIOUS chaos! If two racers have a good lead on opponents but are trying to bump each other out of the way to jump on the next lift chair, it can give other people a chance to catch up and possibly sneak onto a chair first if their opponents knocked each other over. I love this dynamic! Because it makes it more than just your average Mario Kart racing clone. +Pros: Excellent games with new fully rendered cinemas that weren't included in the SNES versions. A collection of the two best RPG's of the mid 90's era +2114 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the classics here. Same as Syphon Filter 2. I loved this game 12 years ago and I wanted to buy it and play it again. It's fantastic with the rollings and all the weapons. + + +447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 what is there to say. this game has everything you want in a fighting game! plenty of characters to choose from and the gameplay is top notch for a ps1 game. definitely one of my favorites! + + +Story:You are on your way to you faveorite strip club. While there the Pigs come and turn Duke's 'hog into a pink trike and kill a lot of people. Kill the people but mess with Duke's 'hog your gonna pay. +5083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unreal Tournament is the new model for what a FPS should be. The graphics are great, the sound is amazing, the level design is absolutely top notch and very creative. Perhaps the best part of Unreal Tournament is the number of options that you have out of the box. As your skills improve, the game can continue to challenge you on single player with adjustable AI. Of course the multiplayer is where the game truly shines. Getting online is simple, so you will be fragging your friends in no time. If you like this type of game and have not played it yet, you are missing one of the best games to come out in recent years. +The game is smooth to play, making it easy to switch from item to item, without breaking a sweat. The story that goes along with this game, has enough twists and turns to go with a hollywood movie. Just when you think you know what is going on, something else happens and throws the story in a totally different direction. That is what makes the game so good, the graphics could be worse than they are, and this game would still be amazing. +story 5/5 + The game itself is in AMAZING CONDITION!! +Now, you follow the exploits of Raziel, as he attempts to exact revenge on his creator and betrayer, the vile Kain. The voices are great, particularly that of the sneering Kain, and the constant gameplay is fantastic. The idea of gaining new abilities as one devours souls is pretty freakin' cool, too... +2883 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best final fantasy IMO. i now own two copys +No video game is as real as reality, that doesn't mean you can't integrate the two. +7265 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This isn't the best Batman licensed game ever made, but it's a very unique one. It's based on the award-winning animated series from the mid 90's, and pits Batman and Robin against foes like Joker and the Mad Hatter. + + +I guess I no longer am as good as I once was at these games. Still, this is one of my N64 favorites from my high school years basically. + + +OVER ALLITS A GREAT GAME! +7817 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Please don't get extremist on me, but I don't really like this game. It's overrated and I will stick to the first Legend of Zelda that's way better than this! Newer Zelda games are NOT my thing. +--- To recover, you eat food. Unfortunately your character has to digest his food before he can eat again. This takes between 1 and 5 minutes in real time. +Still, there are better options to get what you want out of a Star Wars game. "Rogue Squadron" is an infinitely better single-player space game. And the upcoming "Force Commander" promises to be something of a new standard in multiplayer action. By comparison, "X-wing Alliance" merely feels like a solid update to an aging series. +6636 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is the most meager cash-in attempt I've ever seen. There may well be hundreds of questions, but it'll take you a thousand games to see them all. I was receiving a couple or three repeat questions by the fifth game, and a majority of repeats by game 10. There seems to be little or no gradual increase in difficulty, which was proven when I saw a $500 question later repeated as a $125,000 question later in the game. +1064 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of two reasons to buy an N64. It's excellent multiplayer, with enough shortcuts and tricks to perfect that's it's also a great solo game. If you have an N64 and you don't have this game, then you should stop wasting your time and go out and buy it. You could play the other games, but they are terrible... +3043 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wouldnt advise anyone to pay hundreds of dollars for this game when you can get it at gamestop for only 29.99. + +Colors: 16.7 million + +1. The Games. Like (almost)any Nintendo console the games drive it home. To name a few. Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Pokemon Stadium, F-zeroX, Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Kirby and the Krystal Shards, Banjo and Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Paper Mario. Not enough? You want more? OK! Smash Bros., Star Fox 64, Rayman 2, Pilot Wings 64, Mario Kart 64, Yoshi's Story, and last but not least Harvest Moon. Name another console with that many good games. OK you can name a few but holy %$^# that's one fine library. +And can do the roll to avoid enemy attack (Why didn't they remake that move for all the other games, I ask?) + + + + +Countless possibilities, some of best game cinematics ever. + +2791 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Played it for the first time, after it has been out for over ten years. Great game. The puzzles are hard, but not impossible to solve. If you truly love Myst, then you will certainly love this game. (Do not use walkthroughs, it ruins the game!) Also, keep in mind that the 5-CD Riven set is for outdated computers. It will most likely not run on Vista or XP, at least not without some major glitches. Wish I had played this sooner. +8876 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Illusion of Gaia is an action-RPG like Link to the Past, except with its own kinks, and that is mainly that you can transform to an alternate, older character, or yourself, and the controls are fluid, the enemies are creative and easy enough to defeat, but there are some difficult bosses in this. There really isn't too much I can say here, but that it is a fun game with an interesting story with all of your typical elements, and I recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing, but an occasionally challenging game. + + +839 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another Rareware CLASSIC! The game that defines 1st person shooter!! Like the title says, Rare did it Best. I love the PC shooters like Doom, Quake & Duke Nukem. But 007 did it 1000%! The first of it's kind...perfect 3-d graphics & 360 control. And the first game to do stealth right. You can sneak through levels stealth with your silenced pistol, or go all out nuts with the AK. This model of game would go on to influence ALL future fps. PS3 & xbox fanboys take notice! If rare hadn't come up with this formula, Modern Warfare & Halo wouldn't exist as they are! +THE BAD + +----------------------- +4129 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The game is honestly one of the best games ever, However it has huge performance issues on modern computers rendering the game virtually unplayable. If you are a stubborn die hard fan like me you will play it this way anyway. Nobody plays online anymore, who can blame them with the problems operating the game, so do yourself a favor and just play starcraft 2 or something else. + + Overall, RE2 is an excellent addition to the series, and expands the original game to new heights. Since it's available on multiple platforms now, it's very easy to come across. NEW FANS SHOULD START HERE, OR ALSO THE GAMECUBE REMAKE, THEN MOVE ONTO THE OTHERS. +The popular summons make a return though in altered form. In FFVIII summons are called Guardian Forces or GFs for short. The great thing about the GFs is that each must be defeated in battle before gaining the ability to use them. It's a fantastic design decision by Square that lends to a sense of accomplishment. GFs in FFVIII are similar to party members in that they have levels and experience points and can take damage in battle. Each GF also has a list of abilities that can be learned by earning 'AP' (ability points) in battle. The abilities include things like upgraded HP or increased attack power to very specific abilities that can be utilized by your characters. +2919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game +40 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been playing car racing games since their early beginning on PC. I currently have a logitech G25 force feedback wheel to play with. +If you've seen the feature film of the same name, you'll notice some eerie similarities. Everything, from the writing on a wall in the city to the placement of the soldiers deep within a Russian bunker is precisely as it was seen on the silver screen. It's honestly unsettling, how well the level designers did their jobs. Ever wondered what was behind that last bathroom stall in the film? You'll get your chance to find the answer on the N64. It's an experience I can't really put into words, something I'd never seen before and haven't seen since. It's a level of perfectionism that has yet to be matched in a video game adaption. + + +Blue = Medium Health +facility. All the doors are shut, and the tram system destroyed + +San Francisco Rush 2049 +3589 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sure Dreamcast has it's place and is now resting in the video Game Graveyard, but this system was good, very good. But the thing is people wouldn't trust Sega, after failing one too many times and being the underdog in the gaming world, so they had a feeling the DC would fail as well. But it's potential was great, it had many great titles such as Soul Caliber, Shenmue, Sonic Adventure & 2, Crazy Taxi, the list is endless, the grpahics are amazing. The system is very loud though, the engine makes alot of noise when loading the disc. They stopped making games for this system so if you are planning to buy it, buy all the games you can fast because they are being taken off the shelves of many stores. The sports line for the DC is fantastic bolstering some of the best sports games ever made, thanks to the 2k series. If your an RPG freak well they have great ones as well like, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2,Record of Loddoss War, just so many no matter what you are a fan of. Don't let all the bad comments get into your head, because if you think it's bad, you are going to belive that it's bad. Remember you need a VMU for the DC for the best playing experience, or you won't be able to save games, most game take up 10 or less blocks unless it's a sports game which takes up a huge ammount of space, like 150 blocks! An extra controller would be a good idea as well. This is a great console that just wasn't given a chance. Enjoy! + Pros: Lot's of non story games + +MINOR COMPLAINTS +So you can basically take advantage of this in a hard area, just get Yoshi and you won't degrade to looser-Mario because you accidently get it. +15-Hidden palace(90%)This is another Sonic 2 beta level, but the most interesting Sonic stage ever! +Bottom line...BUY THIS. Its one of those games like a good old nintendo game with a good story and pure fun. ENJOY!! +If there's anything I have to complain about this game, they are really just nitpicks. For example, the concept of Buzz Lightyear shooting around despite being a toy is awesome, but Buzz himself seems to keep contradicting his developed persona in the film; he every now and then spouts a sound clip from the first Toy Story, back when Buzz was delusional and thought he was a space ranger. It can also be a bit bothersome falling from a great height when trying to reach an area involved with the mission you would want to accomplish. + +Article 1: Does "Zelda 64" really live up to all the hype? +5447 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The reason i give this game 4 stars instead of 3 is because the slow loading times in beetween fights. If you owe a PS2 go to Ps driver and change the texture to smooth and disc speed to fast. The loading times are reduced by quiet alot. overall this game is great but the morphing of shang tsung can get frustrating because it has to load everytime you morph. this game is great for beginners but if you are a true hardcore MK fan get armageddon. +3518 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game is excillent, the graphics are top notch, the game is chalinging but not to hard, it is just a great game, why did I only give it 4 stars? because the stupid voice acting, and why do the characters always move thair hands like that, do you know anyone who waves thair hands in slashing motions while they talk. If they would stop the hand movements and tried harder on the voices, the game would be perfict! Don't let the voices discurage you from buying this game, thair is so much to this game, let me talk about replay value, almost every puzzle in the game is random, so you can't just use the same solutions every time through the game. Let me talk about the nemesis, he's a 8ft(I think) tall monster that makes frankenstein look like a whimp, with a tenticle that spews poison at you, and equipped with a cannon. He sounds dangerious, you face him more than wonce in this adventure. After much time playing this game you could tell capcom put much time in this enemy, and he has the only voice in the game that is not annoing, as he only says "stars". + +I highly recommend it for anyone who has an N64. +6951 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So what if the graphics and sound aren't up to todays standards? This game is simply a racing delight. I had a lot of fun driving dangerously and violently around the streets of London. It's not like this game should be compared to the recently-released Grand Theft Auto games on the Playstation 2. If we do that, yeah, this game can't compare to that. But what can? +4840 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It came in a really good condition almost new. An awesome game about army man named sarge going around houses gardens rooms and bathrooms killing tan army men and rescuing his men and the chiefs daughter recommended for people who enjoy the classics and people who like to play 3rd person shooters. +1470 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was really eager to see this installment in the Castlevania series. Mainly because of it's venture into 3-D. Well, I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. They were able to pull off a pretty decent game and that, in itself, makes it another great effort from Konami. It really reminded me alot of the older Castlevania games, yet in 3-D. Despite others mixed feelings on the game, I really enjoyed it. My only gripe, however, is that it was hard and frustrating at times with its' platform areas in levels. Once I made it pass those parts, it was great. One, in my opinion, that was worthy of my hard earned dollar. Although I love the 2-D Castlevania games a great deal, I do hope they make another game like this one in the future. +7200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After Rareware made the stunning shooter game GoldenEye, gamers everywhere hung their heads in disappointment when the decision was made not to accept the offer to make Tomorrow Never Dies. But Rare, without the inherent limitations of a movie license, created something much bigger, much bolder, something that few companies could ever pull off: Perfect Dark. + +Oh, boy...more! Although I never have gotten into creating and editing my own scenarios and custom campaigns, that doesnt mean you won't. Taht's right, along with everything else comes a unique feature which allows you to edit pre-made scenarios or cr eate your own. +3199 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Soul Caliber - Circa 2001 +NOTE: If you DO play this on a RetroN3, be aware that this is a rare "dual region" cart for the Genesis. Which means it has both Japanese and English language "tracks" on the ROM. The RetroN3 can actually play it in Japanese mode if the region switch on the back is set to it, so if you play it and it's not in English, your cartridge is fine. +Super Smash Bros. +8037 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game, it certainly is not like any other wrestling game. This one is not about pinning anyone or making them submit like wrestling. This was more a new version of Mortal Kombat. The same company ACCLAIM made this game a beat 'em up. However there is no blood and no finishers. You can preform combos, special moves and things like that, it's much the same as Mortal Kombats style of game play. The commentary is not annoying, provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler. +3944 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 With a form-factor nearly identical to the original PlayStation controllers (but minus the analog sticks of the "Dual Shock" controller), this controller's obvious benefit is to owners of "Connectix Virtual Game Station", the PlayStaiton-on-Macintosh emulator. It's also handy for arcade-y titles and MacMAME, the emulator of classic arcade video games. + 3) Escape with "Elvis" also known as "Protecter One" +how any composer can be capable of creating such a beautiful soulful soundtrack. The sound effects are amazing, and the controls +3910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good +-NO CHARACTERS AND VERY LITTLE STORY. Tails wouldn't show up til the sequel, Knuckles and Amy Rose were down the road a bit, and everyone else was just a thought. So that leaves just Sonic and Dr. Robotnik. The plot basically boils down to:"The animals have been captured by Dr. Robotnik. Sonic is here to rescue them." That's it. Supposedly, I heard that the Death Egg ship was being built during this game's timeline, but it was never officially mentioned, so I'll consider it separate from the Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and S&K continuous stories. + Well now let's see if I can test my luck and find Lunar 2: Eteranl Blue (Or maybe, hopefully they'll just remake it for the GBA and call it Lunar Legend 2) +1. 28 massive single and 2-player levels +Loading times..yea Im grading that too...5/5... +Cloud: For most of the game, he's a pretentious douchebag, but he lightens up a bit near the end. +7950 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lovely seller! Highly recommended! :) +9177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the only games I have that I can beat. You can save on this game unlike other game boy games like Terminator 2 Judgement Day. +Highly recommended! +The most common complaint about this game is over its controls. I assume that this is somewhat exaggerated, however. My system falls well below the minimum requirements listed on the box, but it still played well enough. The only frustration I experienced was that the Stranger would sometimes turn too quickly or too slowly, and that would render the more precision-based puzzles very difficult. However, I still made it through and enjoyed the effort despite my weak computer system. Some also complain that the camera angles at times interfere with gameplay, but I found that they helped create mood and suspense, and at times when it mad fighting difficult I would just move to a point where I got better visibility (this is less of a problem with auto-aim, but it does sometimes get annoying). + +4717 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recommend this game to anyone of any age. Although it has some nudity / blood, I think it's tame enough and reminiscent of the original era that it's more education than anything for youngsters under 10. The music is probably one of the major perks. I've downloaded and listened to the music on MP3 players driving around because it's THAT good. The gameplay is simple as can be: sidescroller, jump, attack, item, and magic. There are literally hundreds of weapons, armor, etc items to find, it's amazing what some of the more rare special weaps do. The game itself is pretty long too, once you beat it, you beat it again upside down and all monsters/music/items are changed to reflect your stronger levels. +Of course that would take a master stroke in storytelling, something videogames aren't known for. Videogames are not literature. For every decent videogame story, there are 10 books as satisfying as eating a meal. Game stories are intentional experiences that happen a specific way. If they don't happen that way, then the designer has to account for that, or face an endless web of possibilities. Games are dumb at telling stories. Even games that give you plenty of dialog options are bogus because the end result is the same. At the end of FF7, there is only one outcome. This is a role-FORCING game. +X-wing was the first but later on Lucas-arts improved the engine by adding TIE FIGHTER (that's right a game where you play on the side of the Imperials) this also provides some very challenging missions but can be beaten with much more ease that anyone could ever beat x-wing. Still fun, just as enjoyable +You have 8 characters to choose from with 4 additional hidden characters you can release after succeeding in various playing modes at specific difficulty levels. Each character has its own set of special moves, sounds and taunts. +What's your experience?, could it be 'cause they are 3rd party? +3786 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Descent 3 is Interplay's follow-up to the highly acclaimed Descent franchise. You are once again cast in the role of the Material Defender. This time, however, your mission is one of retribution as you battle virally-infected robots across 17 levels (15 normal plus 2 secret). You must prove that the head of the PTMC intentionally contaminated the company's robots with an alien virus. After your rescue in the stunning opening cutscene you learn that the PTMC went so far to modify the virus as well. + + +8780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best arcade game ever made. When I go to the arcade I shovel out quarters to play it. I have never beaten it though and I don't know how many levels there are. You are a guy who is carrying around an axe or sword and you hack at baddies as they move into the screen. Some enemies are more powerful than others and it takes longer to kill them. If you knock a guy off of his lizard then you can jump on it and ride it around slashing at the baddies. The graphics are also very good. You should buy this, no, you must buy this. It is essential in order to survive. It aint no lie, Buy Buy Buy!!! +The game is still fantastic. Rent this game ASAP! + + +5562 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This title is still a must have for any action gamer. I use it most to play deathmatch using the "Weapons of Destruction" mod. But there has been soooo much developement using the Quake II platform, that almost any gamer can find a mod they enjoy. Moreover, with the state of the art graphics cards, you can turn the resolution all the way up and not take a performance hit. As far as game play, it is still one of my favorites. I actually prefer it over Quake III. Quake III is just a bit too fast and all the levels are very similar. Quake II has the most variety (that is, once you get out on the internet and start downloading new mods/maps/models). In addition, Q2 has a single player, story line, game in addition to its deathmatch stuff. The other reason I like this title is that you can play it reasonably well on a laptop. My laptop is just too slow when trying to handle Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, or Star Trek, Elite Force. All in all, a must have; it is fun, and there is lots of variety out there to tweak the basic version. +9251 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thanks for this game, I love it very much, plys very much on the well side, again I thank you very much for this game! +Gameplay + +3221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pros: +Laptop Gun +Great music +The very second WWF War Zone came out on the Playstation and N64, it all went wrong. Game companies got the idea that people wanted realism in their wrestling games, so from that point on ALL the WWE games had to be about having realistic-looking gameplay and wrestler appearances, and the fun factor washed away like sandcastles on the beach. It's hard to have fun with a game when the year before you were playing the same thing. After a while you get sick of it. + +1441 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though this game is almost 4 years old-it is still one of the best games that the N64 has to offer. Why? Well dear reader I will tell you why. SUPER MARIO 64 is a gaming revolution, it was the game that everyone had to have. It took Mario into a whole new atmosphere. The world that is inside Princess Peach's(aka Princess Toadstool) castle is immense and highly imaginative. Although the graphics may seem a little bit dated(it was a launch game remember that) it is still a sight to see. As far as play control goes, it is a bit difficult to get the hang of moving Mario around, but once you get used to it then controlling Mario is a breeze. In fact it is some of the best playcontrol that a game has to offer. The Super Mario 64 storyline is familiar to Mario fans but at the same time a touch refreshing. Yes Peach is captured but she is being held prisnor in her own castle(in a picture in fact), and one of the funnest parts of the game is hanging out outside. One of my problems is that Luigi is not in the game, in fact no mention of him is made either. Nintendo should have left the Mario Party franchise alone and focused on creating a Super Mario 64 2, but alas they didn't. So if you own a Nintendo 64 and don't have this title, or are thinking of buying a N64, then get Super Mario 64 because it is by far a true gaming experience. +This game is wonderful and very intense. I suggest you order this from Amazon as soon as you can. This game is awesome and will make you very happy to have bought it. One of the main reasons for that is the replay value. It is very high. Higher than most games created by Konami. ENJOY!!! +Sidequests are great in number and require much brain power, and the games added bonus is the FMV sequences. Breathtaking graphics, it is hard to imagine the ps1 could handle such images as this game produces but it does and we all love it. +Carnivores takes place in the far future, where you are the newest client of a dino-hunting corporation that's set up on a planet in space. Yes, the story is non-existant, but at least they tried to give a solid reason why you're hunting dinosaurs with a shotgun. + +Again, you can choose from barbarian Ax Battler, amazonian Tyris Flare or dwarf Gillius Thunderhead as you slowly plod your way through a generic as hell fantasy kingdom, hacking and slashing at conveyor belt enemies (who sometimes kill themselves out of sheer stupidity) before you get to the big guy in a suit of armour who has taken over the land because of his evilness or whatever nonsense. + +VI - The best story in the series. Play this one, if any. The world is beginning to reach epic proportions now. The graphics are color, but will seem outdated at first. +After all, it's all about the blood. + +7806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works +GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO: +have come to experience this game for themselves and see just how great + +5067 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game amazes me every time I play this cause it actually is one of the few games that I own that really tests the power of my Voodoo3 3D card, and I love it! With 5 game plays (Last Man Standing, Capture the Flag, Assault, Domination, and Deathmatch) this title will always be in your cd-rom drive. The best thing about this game is the multiplayer capabilities and the fact that there are 1,000s of maps to download that will make Unreal Tournament fresh as the last time you played it. It also has mods that you can install onto your system which are very kool such as Strike Force, and many others that I will not go into. And if it doesn't sound like it can get much better there are also mods that add "skins" to your game (character skin) so you can look super fly for your murdering spree. If you like games like this deffinately check out Half-Life, Quake 3 and Deus Ex. + +6192 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is great for a break from writing a report or studying. My aunt owns her own caffe and loves this game. I guess to say if you have any intrest in buisness you will love this. Its easy to pick up and the only thing you have to worry about is "what time is it ?!?" or "how long have I been playing this!?!" + +3080 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 okay, as you already know, this game has received a greatest hits NOT for graphics, but for GAMEPLAY and STORY. the complete idiots who gave this one star obviously know nothing about real games, and they probably spend their time playing final fantasy VIII, the single worst RPG ever conceived (and 8 is my lucky number too.....). +4672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game and it's great for kids too! It's not the most challenging game but it has a lot of fun puzzles. You can finish it pretty quickly if you do the bare minimum but there is so much more you can do with this game. The camera is a little annoying but you can always change the camera views with the C buttons. + + +Ocarina of Time tells the continuing story of the Zelda universe. In the Zelda timeline it takes place before the other games. As usual you are the hero Link. You must save the princess Zelda. You have different quests you must finish and many obstacles that will block your way. The story is that Ganondorf the evil wizard is trying to take over the world. Equipped with the Ocarina of Time you will travel time in your quest to save Zelda, Hyrule, and the world. + To summarize: The campaign is more than enough to justify buying this incredible game, especially at its current price tag ... , and the online gaming rooms makes it worth twice the price. Currently, Mechwarrior three is only played on two gaming services that I know of, Gamespy, and the more popular MSN gaming zone. -And to further compliment the online experience, there are maps, called 'icemaps', which reduce your weapons heat to nearly nothing, readily available from different websites. They add a very fun aspect of insane destruction to you gameplay, helping you to obliterate your enemies in a few well placed shots. + +This is truly the greatest incarnation of SMB1 that I have seen to date! +4511 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Why didn't I just read the packaging and put it down. No, I had to go and buy it. I played Civ II once, Alpha Centauri two or three times, and now Call to Power... well, I didn't make it through the tutorial. +So, the next time some gaming industry MBA (who probably could not tell an RTS from an cRPG) tables the idea of LIMITED INSTALLATIONS, what he will have primarily accomplished is to have his game forgotten within a year. + +6798 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is more of a one-on-one fighter (a' la Mortal Kombat) than a wrestler, but both styles are incorporated into a good fighting game. Get this game instead of the SNES version (the Genesis version has 8 characters, but the SNES has only SIX!). +If you're a stickler for graphics, this is not your game. True, there are patches for the computer version that makes the graphics of the characters a bit more bearable, but half the charm is the ludicrously sharp angles and style that was just pulling out of 16-bit gaming. The cut scenes, for its time, were remarkable and had blown our young minds away all those years ago. Now, however, it pales in comparison to what is being put out on next gen software. Still, if you can look past the blocky animation the game will still blow your mind. +The main "arcade" experience can be brutally hard, as it would be in the wishes of any Street Fighter fan. The two-player experience is also extremely fun, as players new to the Alpha series can choose different fighting modes, one of which (X-ism) is more aligned with classic SF2 balancing. Other modes include A-ism, the Alpha standard, and V-ism, a mode that enhances a player's ability to chain standard and special moves together for lethal damage. +8605 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game it's good to play with my nephew who is getting into sega when he visits on weekends +Whether it's 2008 or 2020 K.I. has stood the test of time and will alway's be as innovative as ever-a classic in it's own right. +At one point during the 30 hours it took me to beat this game, I turned on the game and found all my data was erased. At first I was angry, but then kind of relieved that I didn't have to feel like I needed to finish this game anymore. That's saying a lot, because I always finish games I start. (I turned the game on-and-off again, and the data was there again, so I did finish playing it. But the point still stands: I WANTED my data to be erased.) + +8693 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the original sonic. i did not buy my game from amazon but the quality from the early 90's is good. the missions are great and challenging been a few years that i have played my game though. this is one of the games that helped Sega to run strong enough. this is worth the price a collectable here. +The Game Over screen is pretty funny. During the countdown time for you to continue, Dr. Robotnik dances and taunts during the whole countdown. At the near end of it, he laughs evilly. +1374 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is really good. It was the launch title for the Nintendo 64. It's a full 3D world. The objective of the game is to collect the Power Stars in Princess Peach's Castle to get to the top of the castle to fight Bowser and save the princess. 70 stars out of the 120 are required to face Bowser. This game is really big too; you can fly, turn invisible and go through certain types of walls, and turn into metal! The game is really good and I would recommend this to anyone who has a N64. If you don't have a N64, you can get it from the Virtual Console service on Wii for about 10 bucks. +6074 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 k +7688 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Shipped fast and game works great! +The game is like Rad Racer on the NES, but 10 times better. If you like games that are similar to Rad Racer, Ridge Racer, or maybe Need for Speed, then Cruis'n USA is definitely something to buy. +Twisted Metal: A great game, revolutionary for video games of the first 3d era. Still a fun game and the only twisted metal with the inside the car view no saving to memory cards there was a short code for resuming your game later. +Story: 6/10 +I think this is probably one of the best Gameboy games out there. Definitely a great buy, I'll replay it every so often still. + + +584 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How can anyone not like this game? I don't know about you guys but i still like to play this as weel as twisted metal 2, even though i just got an 360, i will still play this whenever + +ONLINE!!!...5/5... +Music - The music was done by Yoko Shimomura a female music composer for video games who has quite the amazing history of video games soundtracks including, Street Fighter 2, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Mana and more. +The graphics are classic 2-D, which might turn off some gamers hoping for something more like Castlevania 64 (which was fully-rendered 3-D). Despite the 2-D, the control and character movement is greatly enhanced thanks to better animation and smooth controls. Castlevania games always had great music, and SOTN is among the best in that department. Each score perfectly matches the given environment, with beautifuly orchestrated melodies. Don't let the old-school look discourage you, this is an amazing game. +There are puzzles as well, none that I can immediately remember except for the puzzle where you move cargo holds to make a path. +The graphics are REALLY good. Seriously. Considering this is a Game Boy game, the only flaw is actually one that makes me feel like I'm nagging when I mention it- the graphics are in black and white. That's basically the only difference compared to the Donkey Kong Country version. Oh, and the music is actually a lot more melodic and creative too. I love just about every single theme song. Most Game Boy games have boring music- not this one. + +They just can't make anything that even comes close to what they did back then. I wish they did, but they can't! It was just too well done! lol +This however makes Mythologies so unique. The storyline is set BEFORE the first MK game, so it could go in whatever direction it wished...and its all about SUB-ZERO. +8129 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Of all the Genesis games I played back in the old days this was my favorite. Not just because I was familar with the source material of the same name (Shadowrun is a table top role playing game), but the way they incorperated the material into a pretty impressive console game. +7021 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Shipped fast and game works great! +Graphics: 10/10 +6451 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AOE2 is simply amazing...I've never played AOE1 so I can't make any comparisons, but look--AOE2 beats out much of the great RTS games (including my favorite game Starcraft) by including 13 civilizations with infantry, cavalry, archery, naval units, siege weapons... and all kinds of defense measures, including all-mighty castles and bombard towers. The diversity of units might be less than some widely popular games, but you can understand and feel every single part of this game. Upgrades from Cavaliers to Paladins and Archers to Crossbowmen make sense--they aren't just words from nowhere. And if you're looking for a great campaign game, this is it--there are carefully made videos and sounds (just as starcraft) for the campaigns, and I especially enjoy the diversity of these one player missions. The 1st Mongolian mission was very interesting, requiring you to befriend the different tribes by bringing them sheep, killing the wolf pack, founding the sacred relic, etc. I also liked how this game handled commerce. There are a variety of types of resources (gold, stone, food, and wood to be precise) and you can build trading carts to earn gold by trading with other players, pay tribute, etc. etc. This game is simply a must-buy...it's worth every penny. +Why does gabe run like he gotta crap his pants + + +--- 5 STARS --- +The PlayStation 2 is another machine to consider, IMHO the PS2's current crop of games do not justify it's heavy price tag, also if you have a DVD player on your TV, you are wasting money buying the PS2's DVD player (since the DVD has proven to be a failure for software delivery). The DreamCast has a very powerful graphics processor, it's inexpensive and it's quality control department works overtime to make sure only quality games are released. The PS2 will eventually beat it out, there are games like "Metal Gear Solid 2", but that's not relivant when you consider that PlayStation will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to great arcade style games. Sure they have Namco and Williams, but so does Sega (see dremacaast versions of Soul Calibur and Ready 2 Rumble), and Sega has their own brand that makes some really incredible games that are unbeatable in fun, but untill PS2 catches up DreamCast should be your #1 pick. + +6128 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When this thing was new it was certainly all the rage, but its main rival, the Sony Playstation was still a step ahead no matter Nintendo did. Nintendo releases games like Goldeneye and Starfox, two GREAT games, but then Square and Sony release Final Fantasy VII to america, which certainly changed things. On specifics, the N64 is 5 times more powerful than the playstation. But the N64 cartridges hold no where near as much space as the playstations black CDs. Why Nintendo didn't bother to use CDs as they originally planned confuses many to this date. CDs last longer, and in truth, are harder to damage. A bad drop on a tile floor may send fragments of plastic and silicon from your "F-Zero X" could be all over the kitchen floor. Nintendo did have one thing going for it over Playstation, remakes of classic games. With the 8bit Nintendo, they started some great games out. Then with the 16bit Super Nintendo, they made 16bit counterparts to the 8bit games. Now with this 64bit system, they made counterparts to the 16 bit games. This was their edge, and it made the system sell very well. In the long run was this systems downfall. Games are much harder to produce for N64 than they are playstation. Even though it it more powerful than the playstation, it is still second to it. What will happen soon, is anyone guess. Nintendo next year will release their new Gamecube. Gamecube doesn't play DVDs like Sony's Playstation 2, and it doesn't appear so far to be anymore powerful. Playstation 2 will be hard to beat for one, as you can see by it's current demand. It seems that Nintendo has become the underdog, with giants such as Microsoft entering the race. Perhaps they'll pull through, its unknown. Sega's Dreamcast is certainly on it's way down, it will not be possible to compete with the much more powerful Playstation 2 and Microsoft's X-Box, and possibly the morepowerful gamecube. Word to the wise, if you're planning to buy a top of the line system, I do not currently suggest this system. Dreamcast is a good bet for the buck, but waiting a while seems to be a wiser choice. +2) Incredibly fast loads. Even on a laptop that I'm playing on, it's no surprise the thing loads absurdly fast. +5547 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Does the job. Works with PS2 controllers too, which was the main reason why I bought this. Quality is sound, not the best. +7327 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Perhaps Megaman 8 should have been called Megaman Playstation instead. It feels more like a new version of Megaman than a true sequel to the other 8/16 bit Megamans. The graphics seem a little bland in spots, but for the most part it is a solid game. A few of the bosses seem corny, but after so many Megaman games there's only so much to work with. The gameplay is right on (even though the game can be hard in spots) with all of Megaman's moves every gamer has come to know. I think it's safe to say that even though it could have been better, Megaman fans will not be sorely disappointed with Megaman 8. +Anyway, I believe that the best feature of the game is THE MULTIPLAYER OPTION. This is absolutey pure fun! The game is incredibly more interesting once you are playing against real humans on the web. The multiplayer version actually SEEMS A COMPUTER PAINTBALL GAME. Having played paintball for a few years I guarantee you that by playing this game you get most of the experience of paintball! You soon end up playing hours after hours of totally different games, finding players of different skill levels. +The story is great and uniqe and has +Along comes the Sony PlayStation. For some, this marks the end of the Golden Age of classic video games. I don't entirely agree, as that system was the home of a handful classics; Castlevania: Symphony of the Night revitalized the Castlevania series and outranked many of the 3-D games that cropped up at the time. Metal Gear Solid redefined stealth action and brought Solid Snake into the mainstream. Mega Man X4 continued the saga of Mega Man X and combined the old-school flavor of Mega Man with arcade-style, frenetic action. +SOUND/SOUNDTRACK + Good length for a game +4625 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I would have given this game 5 stars were it not so blatantly hateful of Republicans. The last portion of the game gave the character no option but to spew venom, hate, and lies about Republicans. I only finished the game anyway because I had already bought it and thrown away the receipt. Otherwise, I would have returned it. +Please don't discuss processor speeds unless you truly understand how the chips are made. You can't compare systems based on the processor's MHz rating alone. CISC processors (like the Pentium series) handle one instruction at a time. RISC processors (like the PowerPC) have the ability to process multiple instructions at once. A slower RISC chip could process information faster than a CISC chip. You also shouldn't compare different chips. A standard Pentium 266 (mainly on laptops only) was not faster than a Pentium II 233. A 386/33 (33 being the speed) was not equal to a 486/33. + First of all, a lot of the weopons in this game i don't like. There is only one machine gun ...only one shotgun ..one pistol , etc. Cmon, wheres the variety?? +But how about talking about the games? The games are the same as Red and Blue. Sharing the same Character's,music,plot,trainers,and towns. Want to know why it's called Red and Green? Red is the boy you play as. He is aiming to catch 'em all and become a pokemon master. He has a rival called Green who wanted to train pokemon to the limit. The two main characters are Red and Green,so the games were named after them. Pocket Monsters Yellow came out to be like the Anime,was became a success. It featured Pikachu as the games mascot,he has his own voice,you can get all three starters,and has better graphics. Thanks to the popularity,Pocket Monsters Stadium came out the same year. It came of for the Nintendo 64,and it had only 43? Pokemon. It wasn't big,so in 1999,Pocket Monsters Stadium2 came out to have all 150 pokemon. Pokemon Stadium,which was made in 2000 in America is Japan's Stadium 2. Stadium in America has all the pokemon expect for Mew and Mewtwo. In 2000,Pocket Monsters Stadium:Gold and Silver came out,having all new pokemon. In America,that was Stadium 2. Pocket Monsters Trading Card Video Game was made,having fans play pokemon Cards on the go. This was released in 1999 for the Nintendo GameBoy Color. Pocket Monsters Snap came out in 1999,having the player take pics of pokemon in 3D. Pocket Monsters TCG came out in 1998,and was huge. There were tons of Cards to collect,and trade,which made them so popular. In fact,the Holographic Chazarid is really the one that was popular. It was so rare,so not many fans could find them in packs. +3721 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Words cannot describe. +4160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This one game represents the way PC is so incredible. This came out a while ago and it still is one of my favorites. I find it challenging. Microsoft Gaming Zone is getting really great too so you don't have to worry about it being to complex. You will become hooked and be a quick Real time strategy fan. This one is an Up-All-Nighter for you gamers. If you are into RTS or no... get this game. +Some in-game jokes might be overlooked by casual X-Files fans, but if you were a regular watcher (or you've discovered the show on Netflix), you'll notice references to episodes like "Syzygy", "Blood Money", and "Piper Maru", among several others. One of the series writers, Frank Spotnitz, helped to write the game's screenplay, and I feel it could have worked as a two-part season 3 episode...the story is very good. +927 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really fast delivery. Takes a couple times to get the game to start but once its up it works and plays just fine :) i missed this game as a kid as well love playing it +1747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the one that started it all folks! this is about mysterious murders in Raccoon city involving cannibalism, a group of special police officers called "S.T.A.R.S." go outside the city to find the murderers but when their Helicopter with pilot leaves them behind, they seek shelter in a large mansion but unknown to them that the mansion is also a death trap with hordes of Zombies, giant tarantulas, monster dogs and mutant creatures waiting for them, will they make it out alive? + + +If you like quality puzzle-focused games that have straight-forward challenges (the game doesn't scale or do anything cheap to mess with you - try to "make the game more challenging"), and enjoy a good storyline (with great humor that doesn't take away from the game), you really should check out Abe in Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (and Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee if you haven't already). It is a really great game that is nothing but quality. This is definitely one of those rare games worth owning and replaying. +Likened by many to Diablo, this game is superior in that it actually has a reasonably compelling storyline (though badly voice acted) and the combat system is not your average hack'n'slash - you learn new battle techniques from the master as you advance. The use of a game pad is strongly recommended, though I survived all the combat encounters by pounding the hell out of my keyboard while moving about with the mouse. The scenery is beautifully rendered (the lighting is a real feature), and animation of Locke and his enemies is superb, though a tad repetitious - like the giant spiders getting stuck on the sword and having to be removed with obvious difficulty (hilarious the first time), the death gurgles of the ninja guys got old very quickly. +The guides themselves are gorgeous! Great detail and amazing artwork. I also love how the paper edges are golden - it gives it a very classy look. I have yet to actually read through them, let alone use them, so I can't say how accurate and useful they are, but I am sure the do their job and then some. I was very concerned about the Skyward Sword guide because the reviews for the original version were absolutely terrible. Fortunately, however, I read that it has been updated to meet the quality of all of the other guides, so that was a huge sigh of relief. +All in all, this game is worth it. If you are looking for some challenging, retro gaming action this is a must-have for your collection. +I can verify that it works on Windows at least up to Win 7 64bit. I have not tried it on Win 8. +Truly, a game this strange could only come out of Japan. As with the first game Parappa, everything is paper cut-outs, the songs are all about performing a task (making a guitar with a chainsaw, landing a plane, putting out a fire, ect), but they are all great in their wacky way. There is also tremendous variety in the types of songs, which range from the now classic Master Onion Chop to the split-personality thrash rock of the plane song. Of course it's all feel good stuff culminating in a super-feel-good climax of the band playing their big gig. +My advice: play selectively. You need to get into the mood. While i say that, it's without doubt that i have never regretted buying this game. +9758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game EVER. Get it or be square +The PROS: For starters, there is a lot to do here. Not only do you race around in carts but after you accept challenges from the Genie (the character you interact with the most), beat them and you unlock the ability to race around in a hovercraft and a plane. There are a lot of stages to complete and not only can you unlock two additional racers, meet a certain condition and you unlock a secret area with its own stages to race on. The game looks great considering it came out in 1997. The overall presentation, graphics, music and sound effects fit the overall happy mood of the game. Three of your friends can take you in the multi player mode and you can use kart, hovercraft or plane here as well. So yeah, it will keep you busy and it's fun but it depends on who plays it because.... + +The Downs: Not quite as pretty to look at, even with a super-dee-duper video card, as I expected. +6588 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 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. + +By buying this controller from Amazon.com, you will be making the right choice...With all of the new systems continuously coming out, you may not be able to find a controller for your Super Nintendo in stores for much longer. + Yep, the sound is also amazing. Perhaps even better than the graphics. I can still remember the sound at particular parts of the game even though I haven't played it in over a year. The boss music will really stick with you, so will the tadpole pond music. But those are just a few of the places that are memorable. I really think the sound is what did it for me with this game, it just hits you in that classic way. Much like how Zelda: Link To The Past is, or Final Fantasy 3. +2876 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is a classsic every n64 owner should have this great game i like this command and conquer better than the new ones that came out on the xbox 360 this is a great game buy it while you can +Yes not everything is perfect, but it's still way above average. + + +6598 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was an ok game (or should i say, games), but I didn't find it nearly as addictive as the other final fantasies i've played. FFV was an ok addition to the series but the dialogue is awkward (They didn't do a fantastic job translating on V or VI) and the gameplay is more like a standard RPG than the final fantasy style. Buy it if you're really into the FF series, but if you're just starting out, get FFVII first. +Gameplay-This is a first person point-and-click adventure. Your cursor is a hand, and if you click to the right you can turn right or sometimes clicking to the right turns you around. Same with the left. The puzzles in this game were rather hard, but I found that most of them were solvable. Whenever you get stuck, however, there is a hint system that gives you hints that can increase in magnitude until they just give you the answer. For instance, asking for a hint just gives you a tiny hint that doesn't necessarily tell you what to do, but it points you in the right direction. Then, if you are still stuck, you can get a stronger hint which tells you basically where to go and look. And so on. I used the hint system several times, and I would have been quite stuck without it. I thought that this gameplay was easy enough to understand. + +You play as Squall Leonhart, who is part of an elite military faction known as SeeD. SeeD members work for those who they are contracted to in order to collect funds. Squall is attempting to pass his SeeD exam with careful guidance from his instructor Quistis Trepe. He meets several other students along the way, some of which are Zell Dincht (a lively martial artist) and Selphie Tilmitt (a cheerful nunchaku-wielding girl). Squall's ultimate rival, Seifer Almasy, accompanies them on the exam as well. After passing, Squall is assigned to work with a rebel group whose leader is Rinoa Heartilly, a beautiful and bright young woman. What starts as an average mission turns into a complicated and tangled web of love and deceit as Squall begins to question his values and the values of SeeD. +And leveling up is certainly what a Final Fantasy game is about. Various side quests and challenges are provided so that reaching the levels needed to kill the final bosses doesn't become tedious, and an incredibly complex character building system makes sure that everyone's playing experience is different. + + +7626 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have had this game ever since I was in high school. It is a nice game. It is not too difficult and the graphics are pretty good for SNES games. I give this game a 4 star rating for fun and a 5 star rating overall. + Light Side powers include: Force Blinding that you can use to dazzle opponents so they miss you with their shots, Force Protection, a literal force field that resists all damage, Force Persuasion that allows you sneak in unnoticed, and Force Absorption which allows the player to absorb the Dark Side energies wielded against you, and finally Force Heal, which heals damage. Dark Side powers include: The Grip which lets you crush people, Force Throw that allows you to hurl large objects at your foes, Deadly Sight, which immolates your enemies and Force Destruction, which hurls a bolt of powerful energy at your opponents. +- Would I survive the battles w/ such weak teams? + +Beautiful graphics for its time. +You see, to help make the game easier, what you have to do is go around searching for things (things located in treasure chests or holes in walls) and then you have to bring the things you collect back to this yellow vehicle where your female friend (or sister, I forget who she is) will be inside. She can find ways to turn many of the things you collect into important weapons for you to use. She must be smart! +5082 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Released at the same time as the similar 'Quake 3', everybody was expecting this to be terrible. The original 'Unreal' was very nice to look at, but not much fun to play, and 'Tournament' seemed to be a rush-released attempt at stealing some of 'Quake 3's multiplayer-only thunder. Surprisingly, it's none of those things - it looks wonderful, and has some nice music, but best of all it's extremely good fun to play. Even if you don't play against real people (something I can't do, as it's impractical in the UK), the single-player mode is worth the price of the game alone. The AI, although still recognisably artificial, is balanced superbly - your AI team-mates are good enough to fight for themselves, whilst your opponents use varied strategies and aren't flawlessly perfect. The more advanced bots are inhumanly good, but still mortal, which is a nice touch. +Twin Snakes: If you liked the gameplay in MGS 2 better than the first game then i would highly reccomend this MGS 1 remake playable on gamecube and backwards compatible wii's(white wii's). The story on this one is slightly expanded and has MGS 2 gameplay mechanics and graphics so a real treat if you wanted another game like MGS 2. + +Super Mario 64 +lunar didn't have as much in that department but it kept the camera closer on fewer individuals in a way that drew me closer to these characters. as far as gameplay there isn't a whole lot in terms of customization. and there isn't a lot of grinding. something is always keeping you busy and moving to the next area. the battles in lunar are still fun although simple. in a way i feel that what ff3 did with gameplay and customization, lunar did with storytelling. the fmv sequences and higher quality sound in the cd format made it really stand out back then (at that time the sega cd video sequences were jaw-dropping good...ha). while ff3 stands as a kind of intellectual evolution of the rpg in the early 90s, lunar stands as an emotional one. in this psx remake the sega cd animations and much of the sound is replaced. also there aren't random battles in this version and the spells are labelled beyond just a picture so you always know what is what. if you're on the fence but really enjoy rpgs from this era then go for it. the price is steep so look for a used copy in good condition if you can. it's a short game but the quality is top notch. +Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker: Gameplay very similiar to MGS 3 but with the concept of Mother Base added this is a base that you must find personnel for and is used to develop weapons and other various tasks which you must manage in between missions. Easily one of the best games in the series personally i enjoyed it more than 3. +The controls were easy to use...learn in about, what...4 minutes. +Gameplay: 10.0/10.0 The whole mask collecting concept is very fun and it a change from beating Ganondorf like in all the other games. You will feel deja vu of Ocarina of Time because the characters are the same, just different. The game is fun and a great challenge. Overall, these games are classical N64 greats! + +2943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best RPG Ever Made - Period +To me personally, and I'd assume to many others who have played this game as well, + +REPLAYABILITY: As I stated above, it is incredible. I played this more than any other FF title. +~Biosluge Gun-You take a gun, and use toxic sluge to kill people, warning, it can kill you too! +I kind of sticked with Mario when playing, for me it is the most well-rounded character, although I'm sure that some of the hidden characters are quite versatile as well. +South Park +The levels are split very well, and some can be more fun then others. Some will seem like a tedious chore when playing although the majority of others are a blast! +The reasons are numerous - graphics, gameplay, replayability and of course it's strategy element. The game is a lovely mix of complexity (the business model) and simplicity (setting up stations and laying track). It is real time strategy and economic simulator; as a virtual train set it's playful and yet with all stock market options turned on, it's as cuthroat as the world of the historic robber-barons must have been. The red in the game is not from bloody combat but simply your company bleeding to death as these tycoons (your computer adversaries) take you to the economic woodshed, short-selling your stock if they see an opportunity in ruining you in doing so. From all this it's obvious that economic factors are important, but how does this work in gameplay? +BOOM! CRASH! SPARK! SCREAM! Oh no-- everything is exploding in showers of green energy! A massive bolt of radiation hits your coworker's observation post! The ceiling is caving in! +3696 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yep, don't fall for the PS2 hype and the glitchy DVD player @ 100 dollars MORE than a Dreamcast. Step right up and get a taste of what real videogaming is like. This system has the power, the library, and the price. If you are looking for more, you won't find it. Games to try: Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi ... around Xmas these games will be ... as well, while PS2 games that are inferior will be .... Can I make it any clearer? +Today, looking back to more than 10 years ago, I can now safely say Mega Man X looks pretty good. It still looks a little dated too, unfortunately, especially compared to Mega Man X3. But graphics aren't important here: this is an ACTION game darn it! When I play an action game I want to go around shooting a LOT of things. And I'm happy to report that all the levels in Mega Man X have a TON of enemies to shoot! +388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of a kind game, a classic by kenji himself +Don't listen to those who find this game too "difficult" due to the lack of gun. All you require is a controller, some skill, and quick reflexes. +People criticize Dino Crisis 2 for being just a mindless shooting game where you have to kill as many dinosaurs as possible to progress to the next area and collect bigger guns, but the honest truth is, the original is a MUCH easier game overall because you can simply run past all the dinosaurs that stand in your way. You can't do that in the second game. You have to stand up to them and shoot. So Dino Crisis 2 is a harder game, in my opinion. Oh sure, you are given an option to up the difficulty (in both Dino Crisis games) but the problem here is that the difficulty goes up SIGNIFICANTLY, making the game nearly impossible. +Explosions have an important role in Hollywood because it sells like hotcakes. Terminator 2, Die Hard, Speed, etc. and the list goes on: it just wouldn't be the same. The exact rule applies for video games, and sometimes a cool explosion can make you feel super cool, saying "holy crap, I did that!" Blast Corps is one of those games that keeps you in explosion heaven. +1641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This collection of games from Namco is a blast from the past for anyone who grew up playing video games at home on Atari or who spent their entire life savings at the arcades. The games included on this collection are: "Ms. Pac Man", "Dig Dug", "Galaxion", "Phozon", "Pole Position II", and "Tower Of Druaga". For those who don't own a PS2, NAMCO MUSEUM VOL. 3 is worth owning because of "Ms. Pac Man", "Dig Dug", and "Galaxion". +5212 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Come now, who here really thinks they put some time into designing this game? The game's story is as horrible as it is clich and is being voice acted by people that sound too much like a student film class working on a mid-term project. + +6980 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I think out of all that I got him my son likes this one the best. I have yet to best him. + +There are plenty of surprises in this game that I don't want to give away, however, I will tell you that some of the levels in the game will stick in your memory for a long, long time after. For example, "The God Room" of St. Francis' Folly has got to be one of the best and most memorable and beautiful levels of any game that I've played. +Twisted Metal Head On: This is the spirtual sequel to twisted metal 2 its graphics and gameplay feel like they derived from number 2 however i would not say gameplay is quite as good as number 2 it does have all new stages and solid gameplay with new upgrade system after you kill an opponent you can collect a drop from them to increase your fire power this could be considered better or worse. + +1484 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is a futuristic dirt bike game, where rather than riding dirt bikes, you ride a jet-powered motorcycle. The game starts out being fun racing along exotic 3D courses like a jungle island, an earthquake rattled Los Angeles that has fallen into the sea, a cold mountain passageway and so on. When the player advances past the first few races the game stops being fun and starts getting unnecessarily and frustratingly difficult, because rather than having track borders (like walls) where the racer cannot go past a certain point, the courses further in the game take away those walls so you literally fall off the track. It is also unclear where the finish line is, sometimes you must do a lap around a circular track, and other times you must do a U turn then go back through the track. Then reappear on the track, far behind the other racers. The game is full of jumps, ridiculously high jumps, and while you are in the air you can do flips and tricks. Not any advanced tricks like from Tony Hawk. There are several racers, however the racers are so uneven that you can pick a certain racer and win constantly. +262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!!! I suggest this to anyone! It's a great price as well! Overall I'm very happy with the purchase!! +Bottom line, RE3:Nemesis is a good game. It's fun, scary, and entertaining. And no its not the best, and in my opinion its the weakest game in the series. And anyone who disagrees, obviously hasn't played the first two. But I will cut it some slack because Resident evil 3 had a lot to live up to. And it was because Resident Evil 2 really set a high standard for the series. Lets face it, Resident Evil 2 was a legendary game, and quite possibly the greatest sequel to any video game in history. I just think that RE3 could of been a better sequel. And it isn't as good as its predecessor. +9395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Bought the game for my granddaughter and she loves the game. plays it all the time. Fun game to watch as well +2307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT PRICE EARLY DELIVERY, PRODUCT NEW AND FLAWLESS. . . and I bought it for a gift. I asked the recipient how he liked it and the response was excitement, and he plays it often, best gift ever. . .On time delivery, price was right and made a young man happy. . . . What else can one ask for??? +This game is really fun and addictive. It is also really short, and a little challenging in some parts. But when you learn the gameplay, it becomes really easy. This is a really fun game. + +7311 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect dark is awsome fun! oh the graphics, and the game play! This IS Nintendo 64's best game yet. Perfect Dark was made by the same people who made the popular game, Goldeneye (bond). They must have lost the license to bond yet they were still able to make a very cool, and very graphial, spy oriented, first player, shootem up, action packed video game. do yourself a favor and buy this game... I love it and my friends love it. + +9722 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Twisted Metal 4 is quite possibly my favorite out of the Twisted Metal saga. It is very tight race between Twisted Metal 2, Twisted Metal 4, and Twisted Metal Black. Twisted Metal 4 has a great gameplay, exquisite graphics (for Playstation), and unique characters each with their own story and unique capabilities. In my opinion, Twisted Metal 4 is a one of a kind game that did the best of its saga (before Twisted Metal Black) to give background to its characters and really allow you to immerse yourself in the game. Great game to play with a friend. Would highly recommend. +This is not a "run-and-gun, all firefight" game. Yes, there is no shortage of combat... but you need to think, to pause, and to observe, in order to succeed. + +You control a variety of minions (from Goblins to Dark Angels) with a variety of wants and needs, all toward the larger purpose of wiping out the good in the world. And a simpering, pompous sort of good it is, full of bloated speech and poseurs who care at least as much about how good they look as they do about fighting evil. +5559 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I used to love playing Quake 2. I played it for hours on end. When I heard about it's impending release in 1997, I was stoked and could hardly wait for it to come out. And what did I do when it did? I played it AT LEAST 3 to 4 days a week from 1997 to early 2002. And guess what? I became freakin sick of it! I do not want to play this game ever again for the rest of my existence on this earth!! (Well, at least for 10 years or so) My point is, after you log hours and hours of gameplay, it starts to get old. FAST. Quake 2 may be a legendary game but I warn you don't overindulge. Play Max Payne, Deus Ex or Unreal Tournament 2003 instead. +I imagine there are lots of people out there with short attention spans who would get bored with Final Fantasy Tactics, so it can't have universal appeal, but anybody with a stitch of patience will get sucked into this game big time. It never seems like a waste of time and is fun and amazing on so many different levels that I could never go into enough detail to give it justice. But I can say that this game has stayed at the top of my list of best games of all time through the last three generations of consoles, and there have been some great games since then, and that's pretty impressive. +1807 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 2nd to this is Crash 1. The graphics are still great(I got this in 1999)and so are the levels. The saving is alot better. I think that you can't compare this to Crash 3 and 4(on PS2) because it's so much more memorable. + +1466 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a one player, 1st person shooter. The goal is to finish each level by finding keys, weapons and health kits all the while killing as many commies that look like monsters as possible, and trust me there are lots of commies. There are hidden secrets throughout the game and any number of sites on the net to tell you where those secrets are. The villians get smarter and tougher as you progress through the game, the 1st opponents are just some slow moving, shotgun toting targets, later levels have half ram-half man beasts that are almost invincible shooting rockets at you! Good thing you can get a double barrel shotgun, a minigun anti aircraft type weapon, brass knuckles, a rocket launcher, a plasma gun, a pistol and even a chainsaw for those up and close encounters. Ever wonder what it would be like to walk into a building and just start shooting everyone in sight? If so there are two things you need 1) Profesional help 2) This game. Good deal at this price. +Highly recommended. +2922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome game! great price for it too. thank you! +1. Mario in an RPG +*Many choose map settings, melle etc. games to choose from in multi +5174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the most near-perfect games I have ever played. The story is like a movie, the boss fights do not suck, the way you progress through the campaign is kind of like zelda and metroid which is cool. Get this if you love action games, movies, or just games in general. +8944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived as expected +scenario there is! Not to mention the mini games and awesome unlockables, You should not +1481 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now if you are a fan or those 2-D games and stuff like that, you probably will think this is a disgrace for the N64. I thought this game was awesome. Especially the beginning, Forest Of Silence! The music and sound effects are great and the game story is good. The controls may take a while to get used to but if you like games with a challenge, get this. I think that fighting skeletons gets boring after a while but I think when you get to higher levels, (I'm not sure of this) there will be more vicious enemies to fight for your pleasure. I thought the game could have been a little more...well....diverse and detailed, but where I am now, is awesome! I have to say, I bought this at Fucoland and I had no idea I would like it this much. I rented it once before and I hated it because it was so hard. Really, I just didn't put my mind to it and look where I am now. I'm in the 1st castle! This is a great action-RPG game that will keep you hooked for hours. I would recommend that 10 and up should play this game because of the theme and the bloody scenes. There isn't much of a story to this game but for me, that's okay. But for serious gamers (I think I am but this game is so good that I don't really care about the story) you might be a little ticked off because of the lack of story. There many levels for you to get through and they all take a long time. The Forest Of Silence took me about 3 hours to figure everything out (no cheats no guide no nothing). There are two charaters to chose from. Reinhart and a girl (I forgot her name). Now Reinhart has a sword and a whip to fight off enemies and to destroy other things. I think he is better than the girl because he has a stronger weapon. The girl has a energy ball that takes 2 seconds to charge up. I don't like that because if an enemy is comming towards you, you have to charge. She also has these two....rings they look like. She uses that to slice things, just like Reinhart's sword. There are two modes you can go through. Easy and Normal. Normal is not that hard but there is quite a difference between that and easy. There are some options that you can do like the controls and stuff. As I mentioned before, their isn't much of a storyline but when you start the game, there is some. So that makes the game better. Be prepared to do a lot of jumping. +Get this game for specific reasons. It is one of PSX first games, also it features easy enough controsl and fun factor that can not be beat by most 3D fighters. +3)Even the A.I. in this game is a challenge to beat on its hardest level, and the easiet levels let beginner players get a chance to get the feel of the game and learn the civilization attributes before taking on other human players. +what i don't like in the game is the rabbit they should give me a rifle or a shotgun + +I was quite impressed with the quality of the books. Hard covered, gilded edge pages, good binding. +For those gamers who, like me, need to like a character in order to fully appreciate the game's plot, let me say this: Squall is a moody, horrible, angst-ridden Phallocrat. His supporting cast are forgettable, with the exceptions of the consummately annoying Zell Dincht and the ridiculously feeble Rinoa Heartilly. The characters in FF 8 have none of the appeal of Cloud et al from FF 7, or Zidane and the lovable half-breeds from FF 9. +Ony complaint: PADDLE BATTLE! Who's stupid idea was this? Rotating the controlstick gives me blisters! Ouch! +UT fulfilled all the requirements perfectly. +Star Wars: Podracer (this game is responsible for riding my motorcycle too fast) +2856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great +8959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game came in great condition and its so much fun i love classic beat em ups and this one is just tons of fun +REPLAY VALUE: 0/10 + And then there were the characters. After falling under the spell of Cloud, Aeris, Sephiroth and all the rest, I felt like hiding under my blankets and sobbing after meeting Squall, Rinoa and the other lame characters. Their dialogue is lifeless and cheesy, and I didn't feel attached to them at all. +so I kinda wanta get the moves down before challenging players... NOT gonna happen, he had WAY to much fun last round I guess and did it again. +8590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This controller is perfect for just about any Saturn game and can operate using the D-pad or with the 3D analog stick. It's much more comfortable and has better L and R buttons than the standard controllers so I recommend this as the first controller you should buy for the system. + +While this game is good, if you got a psp or a ps3 you can download the game from the PSN. But thats only if you don't really care about having a physical copy. +- The save system is better, and worse, considering that unless you accidently, or purposefully, write-protect your save file, you are almost guaranteed not to lose progress. However, you don't come back in the same spot, and if you left items laying on the ground, you won't find them again. +not air combat. It popped up and I did not bother to read the few letter difference. +Cons: +London: +Music (score 10/10): Wow. When I first heard the opening song (Liberi Fatali), I was blown away. The rest of the game's music doesn't dissapoint either. Be it exciting songs or mellow tunes, FF8 delivers. I actually went and bought the soundtrack, which I still listen to, to this day. +All in all a good controller that can be used in all sorts of games - but of course it is best in games which are enabled to use the shockfunction +I can't really point out any major flaws... I wish the game had better voice acting, or none at all. Apart from that, the only thing I want from Grandia, is a remake. Modern graphics, gameplay, technology, would make Grandia one hell of an adventure for those who missed out on it the first time around. +The variety of the levels is incredible- there are roller coaster levels, hot air balloon riding levels, and much more +Spyro is a classic that will never die, and your life will only be made better by playing it! +8927 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now this is a fun game. I tell you what. This is a fun game. I got mine off ebay (sorry amazon but the prices...) anywho the game is really cool. i think theres like 39 metroids you have to kill but the deal is yoru go though the disturbed planet fothe metroid sr388 and have to kill them all. and after you kill a certain amount theres this rumble and the lava in a big shaft room goes down to the next floor and this goes on for like 4 times. When you then get close to the "lordess" metroid -so fine- you have to fight i think 9 new metroids! which is a add on the prevoious 39 so technically theres 48 (49 if you include the queen) anyways then you anilate the lordess and for some reason on my game theres this weird red line on the wall but whatever it goes donw after teh battle and for some ohter reason theres a little excape hole under the lordess. so i guess you can wimp out and excape kinda ruins the point of a boss if you can jsut "escape"?! but oh well after you defeat IT. then a baby metroid hatches (jimminy crickets where do all these things come from!!!! fun never ends with metroid 2 ;) but then you escape the terrifing planet and go to your ship. THE END review DARN GOOD GAME +7365 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved the first Super Mario Land but, it was wierd. And if it was too wierd for you you should get this. It contains multiple worlds that you can choose to go first Megaman style. The Graphics are amazing for a 8 bit gameboy. And if you play it on the Gameboy advance or color, It adds a little color. This is the best platformer on Gameboy, Maybe it's best game... 5/5 +6917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works flawlessly! +Blast Corps is definitely one of the N64's sleeper hits. Those who dislike it because it's too hard need to spend just a little more time with it. Since there's no current equivalent on Gamecube, PS2, or X-Box, I highly recommend buying this game if you see it. +A day later, Knuckles restores the shards of the Master Emerald, but Angel Island collapses into the sea once again when Chaos attacks him and Dr. Eggman. Chaos absorbs the 6 Chaos Emeralds and locates the seventh aboard the Tornado II, which crashed after Big used it to escape the Egg Carrier. With all the Chaos Emeralds, Chaos transforms into Perfect Chaos, depleting the Chaos Emeralds of their negative energy, and flooding and destroying Station Square. Tikal appears, having taken each main character into the past numerous times beforehand, demanding that Chaos must be sealed back in the Master Emerald. Sonic objects, saying that Chaos's heart would still be filled with anger and sadness if he were to be sealed inside the Master Emerald. Sonic's friends cheer him on, and Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds' still-present positive energy to become Super Sonic and face off against Perfect Chaos. Following Chaos' defeat, Sonic discovers that the Chao he once was guardian of now live in Station Square, so he leaves them on Earth to live there. United with Tikal, Chaos peacefully departs to the past. The game ends with Sonic chasing after the fleeing Dr. Eggman. + + +If you try this game you will discover a new love. + +Probably the biggest challenge comes in the way of puzzle-solving. Now, think back to Resident Evil 2. What did you have? You had three or four puzzles to solve. And they were EASY! In Nemesis, let's see, you have 10-12 puzzles to solve, and some of them simply can't be completed unless you're either a really excellent puzzle solver, or you look the answers up on the internet. +The game is just tedious. It's boring and insipid and hackneyed to death. I'm sure there will be many who say, "Grandia rulez! you lie!" and give me a "not helpful" vote. I didn't write this to please anybody...I wrote it because I think Grandia does not deserve the praise it receives. Heed my word, and perhaps you will save 50 hours of you life. That's a long time! 50 Law & Order episodes! A genuinely good RPG! Think about it. +You play Raziel(if you read the editorial review you know all this), once a luitenant(not as in army rank, but kainda like right hand man sorta, second in command), to Kain, the vampire ruler, along with 5 others. However, Raziel than evolved and grew wings before Kain. Kain became jealois and furious and tore Raziel's wings, than through him into the lake, to be damned and burn for eternity(Water burns them). But then a spirit or something called the elder saves and ressurects Raziel to take revenge on Kain. +I could go on and on... this is a game that has a simple premise... but manages too weave in so many complex elements, all fun, yet never loses the simplicity. Games were meant too be simple. a fun distraction from the hectic pace of life. The video gaming industry has grown into such a massive beast over the past few years. It's no longer a niche hobby. and such there is a high financial demand for innovation. But sometimes innovation comes at the cost of fun. Castlevania SOTN manages too retain the simplicity of the old days.... while having innovations up the kazoo. That's why so many people have scuh strong feelings for it today. I would reccommend this too anyone that likes videogames, or wants too start playing them. Solid snake is cool and all, but Allucard Just has more style. if they ever making a fighting game centred around the coolest video game charachter ever... expect too see these two in the finals. +4169 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is the classical example of a real time strategy game. It's been around for ever - I've been playing Starcraft since 1998 - but even though the graphics are sad by today's standards, the game is awfully good. +I'm personally not a huge Dreamcast fan - the types of games available on it aren't ones that tend to appeal to me - but my arcade and fighting loving friends enjoy it a great deal. +Second game I have got from online that didn't work. + +6332 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The N64 was Nintendo's 3rd console (not counting the Game Boy, and Virtaul Boy).It came out shortly after the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation. If you don't have this system anymore or never have. And collect systems and and games, then I recommend this system. The controller has always at first glace seemed like a gimmick. And like myself, probably made you think how are people supposed to use that controller. But it actually isn't too bad! The system it's self is pretty simple, yet cool looking. And is for the most part really reliable. And having 4 controller ports is a plus too! Though it would have been nice if Nintendo released more mature games for the console, there are some classic games. I recommend the games below. +This sim includes all of the previous IL-2s made by Ubisoft before 2006, so any other ones like IL-2 Forgotten Battles and Pacific Fighters are not necessary. IL-2 1946 includes most of WWII on the Western front, the Pacific front, but focuses on the Eastern Russian front. The 1946 portion focuses on an alternate timeline in which all the major leaders like Roosevelt, Stalin, and Hitler have died and the new leaders send their countries into vastly different paths than those of reality. The war continues into 1946 where both Allies and Axis have advanced rocket and jet aircraft. Some U.S.S.R. aircraft are even as advanced as the MiG-15, some even more. German late-war prototype aircraft like the Go-229 have materialized and are used in combat. Even guided missile technology is available. I have to admit, that at first, I was a bit skeptical since IL-2 1946 was designed in Russia. It turns out that as I suspected, IL-2 is significantly embellished towards the U.S.S.R., (I wonder why?) with more Russian aircraft than U.S., British, and French aircraft combined. But when I realized what else IL-2 had to offer, I knew this was the best combat flight sim of all time. IL-2 includes over 400 different aircraft from the USSR, US, Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Finland, Romania, Slovakia, Australia, Japan, Singapore, China, and more! At least 250 of these are flyable, including: The A-20, B-25, P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47, P-51, P-63, YP-80, F2A Buffalo, SBD Dauntless, F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F4F Corsair, Hurricane, Spitfire, Tempest, Beoufighter, Mosquito, I-153, I-16, Mig-3, Yak-3, Pe-2, and so many more that it would take a whole page to fit them. Many non-flyable never-before-modeled aircraft are present also, like the massive Me-323 6-engined transport, Ju-88 Mistel flying bomb, Fw-200 Condor, and many more. There are hundreds of different meticulously detailed tanks, vehicles, and warships. One of my favorite things about IL-2 is that the Pacific front of the war is included, along with US Navy and Japanese carrier borne aircraft, a great selection of Japanese land-based planes, the B-29, (non-flyable. Boo hoo.) submarines, torpedo boats, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and many aircraft carriers. The mission builder is great, with 3D maps, condition settings, and infinite waypoint combinations. Tanks and other vehicles stick to roads when possible, but will go almost anywhere you program them to. The world is divided into separate smaller maps, which you can select. Many fronts are present, like Normandy, The Ardennes, Berlin, Gulf of Finland, Manchuria, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Midway, Hawaii, Moscow, and many more Russian maps. You can program waypoints for aircraft, tanks, and ships, and set the speed, altitude, direction, skill, paint job, gun accuracy, firing rate, and more. The missions are good, but you will find that you will enjoy making your own missions much more. The aircraft, vehicle, ship, building, sky, ocean, and terrain graphics are all unparalleled by any other sim, with outstanding detail from huge forests of 3D trees and rocky mountains, to super detailed buildings and tanks with words even visible on the sides! You can even see personnel at their positions on ships! The AI for everything is incredible, enemy aircraft know advanced maneuvers, tanks aim their turrets and fire at enemies, and ship turrets and flak guns fire accurately at targets. However, IL-2s user interface is lousy. The menu is boring and has tiny buttons for everything, but this is nothing compared to the quick and full mission builders. For over 350 aircraft, and a few thousand other vehicles, buildings, and objects, there are tiny drop down lists which you must scroll through to select anything. The scroll bar is 3/16ths of an inch wide, (I kid you not!) and is so short that it takes about 30 seconds to get your curser centered over it. When zoomed in to a map, it switches to 3D mode for the entire terrain, so this will slow down your computer and curser significantly unless you have a high-end graphics card. Between this and the scroll bars of death, it is almost impossible to do anything on the mission builder without a good mouse. My cousin owns IL-2, and he can hardly move his curser at all on the mission builder. The frame rate in flight is about to 2 frames per second, (F.P.S.) which is horrible. Target F.P.S. is usually about 20 F.P.S.. This is probably because his graphics card is outdated. However, I have a very old IBM ThinkPad laptop with Windows XP, and IL-2 works just fine on it. If possible though, you want a high-end graphics card, and a large screen. The intro music is pretty cool, but when you hear the main menu music, you will burst out laughing. It sounds like circus music, or something from a corny cartoon. But, amazingly, IL-2 gives you the ability to change system files, unlike most other sims, so you can switch the circus music with something less annoying. There is also the issue of swearing. The box says it includes mild swearing, but I would debate that. At some points, it seems like all the pilots ever say is the same swearword over and over, which is not realistic anyways since Japanese, German, Russian, and French pilots wouldnt speak English. But, luckily, again you can change this in a notepad system file called conf.ini, by changing the noswearing: value from 0 to 1, and save. I really appreciate the ability to change system files on this sim, you can fix many of the annoying problems once and for all. All in all, this is the BEST combat flight sim my friends or I have ever seen, defiantly a must-have for WWII airplane buffs. Since IL-2 1946, Ubisoft has come out with more combat flight sims, I have not bought any of these yet, though. +For those who have played Yahtzee: +4690 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Disc in good condtion, plays well. + +926 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great condition! +6248 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was not in a big box with a manual as advertised. Hence the four stars and not five. The game itself is extremely addictive for those that love playing the D&D games. Very creative and thoughtful writing. +6380 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Okay. Some people (Like 10 and 12 year olds) think this game is sooo cool. This game so very unrealitic. Infact, everything about this game is stupid. The weapons are okay, but when you fire, there is no recoil that makes you reticule (The cross thingy that helps you aim) go up and down. Also, 1 shot from any gun kills an enemy (Which is pathetic) so why put your M4A1 rifle on burst? Just use single shot to conserve ammo. The games graffics are as [bad] and the screams that the enemies make when you shoot them are corny and cartoony. I suggest that you do not buy this game because of the reasons listed above. Please, save your money and buy a better game like Counter-Strike (The best game ever made) Half-Life (The second best) or Rainbow Six: Raven Shield (The third best) If you are looking for realism, DO NOT look here at this game. Its pathetic. +6281 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Planescape: Torment has to be one of the BEST computer RPG games of all time! It has everything one looks for in such a game; from an incredible setting, to a highly original plot, to excellent multiple roleplaying options, to outstanding graphics, to extraordinary accuracy in relation to Dungeons & Dragons, and much, much more! +If you are a fan of Mario Kart 64 style crossfires, I think you'll find this is a unique addition to your N64 collection. + +"Ms. Pac Man" is just as fun to play as the original "Pac Man" but is just slightly more difficult and gives a more continues the "story" begun in "Pac Man". +8853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With the success of Kirby's Dream Land, Nintendo went to crank out a sequel to the million selling title. In 1995, Kirby's Dream Land 2 was released and it too was a smash success. Essentially a bigger and better game, Kirby's sequel pleased all Game Boy owners who bought the game. It's still just as cute and fun and was a must own back then. +Let's discuss the dungeons, shall we? Despite being ridiculously and needlessly large with boring surroundings, most of them have such a small and uninteresting variety of enemies that it's almost a chore going through one generic room after another. Ocarina of Time shows the makings of early 3D development at its most obvious- the platforms are predictable square structures that requires the player to spend most of his or her time lining up Link in order to make proper jumps by turning the camera until Link is positioned enough to reach the platform directly ahead. When you combine the constant requirement of having to change camera angles with having to position Link correctly all for the purpose of being able to see what you're doing and where you're going, it's enough to make you think you're playing with string puppets. Again, early 3D design flaws and datedness. + + +3507 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this back in September of 1999 when it first came out. I was excited to play it. I couldn't believe how small it was compared to my other consoles, which I had the original PlayStation, Sega Saturn and the Nintendo 64. The first game I end up buying for it was Sonic Adventure. Which is a pretty awesome game, the graphics were amazing, bright and colorful. Later on I would end up buying games like Shenmue, Crazy Taxi and Jet Grind Radio. The Dreamcast was ahead of it's time, but it died too early. It has a great library of games, so I highly recommend it. +307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great. Glad i bought this. It switched the signal perceftly. we have a WII, PS2 and DVD player hooked up to it. + +I still have a problem with the overall darkness of the game, though. More often than not, an important health or ammo pack is located in a hidden dark area, like near a corner, behind a crate or somewhere you can't see. It's really not a big deal, though. Just remind yourself to always check every dark area you come across. If you're still having trouble finding items, just press the triangle button to put yourself in first-person mode, and hit the left or right buttons on the directional pad to scan around. This works really well. In fact, the whole first-person camera angle was a great idea from Konami. + +9329 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great. it was doing some stange stuff before i cleaned it. but the sticker was fully intact. i was very happywith this product. buy it!!!! +1726 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is where the Crash Bandicoot games got really, really good. Everything that the first game got wrong; the second game got it right. The second game was released in 1997 as a PlayStation exclusive called Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back; obviously reference to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This game is also available on the PlayStation Store as a PS One Classic to be played on either the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable or PlayStation Vita for only $6 so Id recommend getting that version if you are interested. Developed by Naughty Dog, published by Sony Computer Entertainment and distributed by Universal Interactive Studios, the second game was better than the first game in pretty much every way. The second game takes place immediately after the first one as Doctor Neo Cortex survives the battle against Crash in the first game and decides to use crystals to power the Cortex Vortex to take over the Earth. He decides to abduct Crash Bandicoot to gather the crystals making him believe he wants to use the crystals to save the Earth. We also meet Crashs sister Coco who is suspicious of Cortexs true intentions. Meanwhile, Doctor Nitrus Brio who was Cortexs right hand man wants Crash to gather gems so he could destroy Cortex and the Cortex Vortex orbiting Earth so we are presented with many people wanting to side with us, all with different intentions. +I heartily recommend this to any fan of simulation games in the vein of Sim City, Theme Hospital, or The Sims. This is a great game with a high addiction factor. +7347 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Save battery didn't work +The legend will live on...(!) +4031 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, Doom was the beginning of the FPS genre as we know it. But Half-Life marked the beginning of an evolutionary leap for the genre. Quite simply put, Half-Life is, and will remain, one of the greatest games ever. I really can't put the gameplay experience into words, but I remember when I first played this game almost ten years ago, I was absolutely absorbed. Seriously. Absorbed. At the time, the mods were sharp, fun, and novel. Counter-strike. Firearms. Team Fortress Classic. +1035 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I had this game, I did not stop playing until I got to winning the game. It's fun for awhile to throw objects at people that are racing against you. It has a four player mode, which is not bad, but sometimes gets a little confusing when you're watching other people racing. The split screen should never be included. Although, that it is which is easy to get distracted. But Mario Kart is fun and it should be in one of the hand-held games, too. I wouldn't mind playing this. Oh, I have the one on Gameboy Advance, which is cool but not like the one from Nintendo 64. Now, that confused me. + + +Any criticisms I have with this game? Well its hard for me to think of things I don't like about this game, I guess a minor criticism is that you cant skip the in game cut scenes, you couldn't do that in the first game and its a minor annoyance when you already played the game a million times like I did and just want to get through the game. The problem most people have with this game is the beginning. You start the game surrounded by about ten zombies with a slow handgun. The first time playing, you only have a few seconds to figure out the controls until the zombies corner and kill you. It definitely sounds like a terrible idea to start next to the zombies. My strategy is to just run away. Hold square, press up on the d-pad to run and use up-left and up-right to get around the enemies. Once you figure that out, it isn't too hard to get past the zombies and give yourself some breathing room. It did take me a while to figure out the controls but Ive mastered it and you can too. The voice acting in this game is much better than the first Resident Evil, but still nothing too special. Thats about all the criticisms I can think of. + +Of course, shotguns and magnums are only available for the Leon quest. In Claire's quest, you have something called Acid Rounds and a Bow Gun, which are equally as dangerous. They do tremendous damage to enemies, which means it would be wise to save them until the end of the game. + +A brand new series means a brand new story and it goes something like this: +The main addition to Director's Cut is an "arranged" version of the game that changes the location of nearly every vital item in the mansion, as well as the enemy placement. The main characters, as well as Rebecca, are given a new wardrobe and the player's handgun is replaced by an improved model where any shot fired has a random chance of decapitating a zombie, killing it instantly. The original version of the game is included as well, along with a new "beginner" mode where the enemies are easier to kill and the amount of ammunition that can be found by the player is doubled. Additionally, the auto-aim function was restored in all modes, though it is not noted in the in-game controls so the player must accidentally stumble upon it. +5655 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nostalgia kicked in and bought it. That alone should show how great this handheld was. It will live on forever in memory. +"Fallout 2" uses the same engine as the original, and was easy to slip into, since the commands were all familiar, but because the initial release is notoriously buggy, make sure you install the patch before you start. Set 80 years after the events in "Fallout", your character is a descendent of the Vault Dweller who, with some refugees, had established a village far to the north when expelled after saving Vault 13. Over the years, village life had become increasingly tribal and memories of Vault 13 had slipped into the murky realms of mystical memory. Drought had set in, crops failed, children and cattle were starving when a chance viewing of an old holotape revealed the existence Vault 13's Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K.) - just what was needed for a bountiful existence. After surviving a difficult test, your character, the Chosen One, is sent off, with few skills and little equipment, to locate the Holy Vault 13 and return with the G.E.C.K. Of course, it is not quite as easy as that, as you gradually find out the Master in "Fallout" was a pussycat compared to your ultimate opponents. +One complaint I've heard about the end of this game is that there are two "final battles" at the end, and the second one is disappointingly easy. I didn't feel that way because I recognized that the first final battle was the climax, and then when there was one more confrontation after that, I thought of it as more of an epilogue than a challenge. This is something gamers just aren't used to, and the only other game I've played that had an "epilogue" after the final confrontation was Half-Life, which has been accused of having the worst ending of any game ever. The ending of System Shock 2 isn't nearly that bad, but it can be disappointing if the relatively short final areas have left you expecting more. +Replay Factor: 9/10 + +9118 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Killer Instinct has to be in top 5 versus modes for the SNES. This game fighting style look like the creators studied every fighting game, took what they wanted and made a bad you know what fighting game. +1538 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has very good graphics for a PS game and the action and music. The game is very good and has 22 worlds,although they're short. What I don't like is that,you can only save when you pass a world,and thats bad because if you're doing perfect in the world but then you die,you'll have to do it all over again. The game has 4hands up and 1con,so I recommend it if you like zombie killing,horror action games. +7109 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thank you +Other features such as fires and collapsing buildings can be frustrating at first, but once one learns how to handle them soon become a thing of the past. That's all part of "learning" how to build the best city one can--after all, fires and falling down buildings have always been a reality. +2397 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is worth adding to any n64 collectors library, star war fans or not. +Dino Crisis featured full 3D background, not prerendered ones like Resident Evil. It was much more advanced. You have a limited inventory but have different types of healing items and ammunition for each gun. +For your spells and abilities, it includes the Materia System. While I'm not gonna spoil what a materia is, the basic function of it is to give you special abilities. Equip it on your weapon or armor and you can cast magic, summon beasts, counterattack, steal or give you some benefits. Master it and it'll create a new one. So awesome materia like Ultima, Knights of the Round or Mime can be replicated, giving you almost an endless string of summons. +The only real problem I have with this game, is that the FMVs can't be skipped (there's only so many times you can watch the thing with the gondola ...) and that the last battle, especially if you've done the optional quests, is too easy. +If the battles as a whole seem too easy in this game, it is because the game was designed with the intention of challenging the player to experience it, rather than challenging the player to get through it. The game is filled with a variety of fun methods for winning battles, from high-powered summons to enemy skills, and some otherwise difficult boss battles become unloseable after equipping a specific accessory. Part of the coolness of this game is the fact that it was the first major RPG to allow the players to develop extremely poweful heroes, by combining abilities such as auto-resurrection, auto-haste, multiple counter attacks, mp absorbtion, and much more. In other words, the lack of challenge is largely deliberate, and designed to give the players freedom to choose which resources to throw at a particular battle, rather than forcing the players to throw everything they have at most battles in order to have a chance for victory. The inessential-but-fun nature of the sidegames, such as snowboarding and chocobo-breeding, mirrors the inessential-but-fun nature of the majority of the special abilities in this game which may be used during battle. + + +-Hollywood-worthy music. + +4280 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I heard that this game had garnered a good reputation, but until now it had never piqued my interest. There are so many games in the real-time strategy genre - you have classics like Age of Empires 2 and Command & Conquer, or total stinkers like Tiberian Sun. +The BGM music is a-ok... not as memorable as that offered by, lets say, final fantasy or wild arms, but it's still pretty nice since it matches the game well enough. There are a few fast tunes that would stay in your head (well, for me anyway). As for the voices, they retained the japanese voices instead of handing it to amateurish dubbers of that era... GOOD MOVE! The japanese voices are awesome (although it may annoy some who doesn't have trained ears for words that don't sound english), with some famous seiyuu voicing out the character's battle voices. A definite treat for anime fans! +It's a very colorful game. I think the colors help make the graphics look better. I wouldn't say the graphics are bad, though. I don't think Nintendo could have improved on the graphics because this IS an early 90's game after all, and Nintendo was in the beginning stages of finding out what the Super Nintendo could do. Nintendo found out the Super NES could do much more and go much further than originally expected when Star Fox and Donkey Kong Country were created. +Though not having a fantastic run in Arcades, the game was ported to the Dreamcast in 1999 and launched with the system. When it was released it was such a smashing success and offered so much for players that we had a new champion of fighters. It was simple enough for newcomers but had enough depth for experts. But more than that, 8 way run and the detail the game had was, at the time, just unheard of. Looking at it now, it's hard to believe the game was originally made in 1998. It was not only well ahead of its time, but the only game that really seemed to give it any competition was the release of Soul Calibur II years later. Since it's release the original Soul Calibur has gone on to be recognized as one of the greatest and most innovative games ever made. And to this day, the only game that is really like Soul Calibur are the other Soul Calibur games. +1050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like many other people, I absolutely adore racing games and the Mario games. Then I saw this come out. It was perfect! It was a racing game with the characters from the Super Mario series! I was so excited to play it. My friends and I played it all night. It was so addicting. In fact, I still play this game today. + + - Open architecture - you can extract any picture, character, sound, music, etc. from the game and replace it by your own +9501 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For people my age the Power Rangers were to be made fun of, but it didn't stop them for putting out great games for the super nintendo. You choose your ranger at the beginning of each stage, and battle your way through in typical beat em up fashion. I struggled on the later boss levels, which says more for my playing ability then the actual difficulty level. Great for a bit of nostalgia. + Basically, if you want one of the best RPGs ever, based on second edition DandD rules, buy this game. It's a bajillion times better than diablo and it's equally stupid sequal combined. Those games have almost no plot, they are a disappointment to all games, and should be destroyed for even calling themselves RPGs. The plot is awesome to Baldur's Gate, you can do whatever you want, complet a quest, don't complete one, it doesn't matter, but you pay the price. And hey, in what other game can you kill anyone you want, including hookers. And in what other game can you give dead cats to little girls? Huh? If you haven't played it, buy it for the whole 20 dollars they sell it for, and you'll see what i mean. When you beat it, their' an expansion, a sequel, an expansion for the sequel, icewind dale, an expansion for that, and the soon to be released icewind dale 2. All of these games you can import the same guy into. Buy it!... + +I remember liking the story line; finding out what happened to the lost expedition and saving the world from the comet. The game has different and distinct looks in the world from all types of towns and villages, to a castle, along with different terrains. I liked gathering the information to advance in the game it wasn't so hard that you would get frustrated too much, like in Chrono Trigger I had to make lots of notes. Taking a breath and thinking about something would get you past the issue. For that matter, I do not remember the puzzles being too hard or leveling up being difficult. I do not remember much backtracking like in some games. If you have ever played Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy III or Secret of Mana this game is along those lines. I don't think it is as large as the previously named games, but it is long enough to put a smile on your face. I don't remember the exact hours I played this game, but I know it was over 40. I am glad I found and played this game. +Other Mario Pary games... +One thing I neglected to mention about the Pole Position titles in this volume and the first: +Well do not expect a twisted chrono trigger plot!!! as always in crash games the lack of plot its compensated with a beautiful work in the software itself, basically crash goes trough a set of portals using N Cortex (once again his back with an ally) Own technology through time and space, the main thing is of course stop them!!. + + + +4666 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I tried using the game on the PS1 and PS2, and neither worked. This game is a lightscribe disc, and looks to be mass produced by someone. + +Also I recommend buying the extension cords for your controllers. It's like an extra 6FT of cord! +Value: 5 + +In the end this is an absolutely enthralling story. I logged a lot of hours playing this game and it easily kept me occupied for a few months. I don't play games all day for long periods of time, rather I tend to play for a few hours each day, so it takes me a long time to complete epic games of this magnitude. If you are a die-hard Planescape fan, like me, then this is absolutely a must buy and if you're also quite the connoisseur of RPG's, then this is definitely a game to look into. +9309 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Given that this game was under development for so long, by the time it shipped, I really wasn't interested in it. Then I watched one of my coworkers playing it, and I immediately went out and bought it. For the following couple of weeks, I did little else. + +9587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thats right you read that correctly 4 copies worn through 2 gave 1 away and wearing down number 4. To be honest I was quite hesitant on even renting this game when it came out thinking that square was using the success of VII (ff VII) to rack in the sales of this less than average game. Well I was wrong (not the first time either) so far I've played through the game 7 times and it becomes more involving each time as I try to create a different team (even ramza takes on different roles, this time I didn't even give him the chance to finish his base class and went right into mage). The game is hard thats a no brainer and if you are a no brainer then don't pick up this game cause I don't know where copy 5 is comming from and I'd just assume not have to guess. There will be frustration, there will be hardships, you will get mad at it and wonder how on Gods green earth did square manage to make such crap. Then you can pick up the controller again and give that battle on riovanes castle roof top another try to keep Rafa alive (Very Hard 4/5 or 7/5 depends on what you want to achieve). Not going to lie to you if you don't plan ahead then you will be dead before the battle has even started. I wouldn't even try to compare this to the other games in the series but rather a game of unforgiving chess. you have 5 or sometimes less characters and the opposing side can have as few as one (and a very hard one at that) or 10 that can be equally difficult. Unlike the other games terrain makes a huge difference in this game (each landscape is unique and beautifully done) just because you are next to someone doesn't mean you'll hit them they could be standing 20ft above and neither can do anything. another wonderful aspect is the story line full of reading, contemplating and scratching of the head. somedays I would get a huge peice of puzzle just before bed and find myself lying for 20 min trying to figure out where it all fits and how this will affect the main character. Some ppl may find the plot to be either too deep or too complicated, I felt right at home. Even our own past is just as complicated and twisted and I would expect that of a game that is trying to relflect our own world. You can keep your Sephiroth and his standard destroy the world scheme, I'll take the shadowy plots of corruption, cloak and dagger and the dark truth of some of the most trusted ppl in the world that are just as manipulative and far more evil than that which they condemn. +OVERALL: 5 out of 5- it's just too good to deserve anything else. Be sure to pick this one up if you haven't already. + +5903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy! Doesn't hearing that name give you a chill down your back? Well, if not, then you haven't played number 8. I thought seven was pretty darn good but I was wrong. It is average compared to the mighty FF8. I am twelve and love PS games but this is incredible. Here is my score for it: Graphics: 10/10 Absolutely incredible! This would be good even on PS2 Gameplay: 10/10 Come on! It's Final Fantasy! Lifespan: 10/10 4 discs! 100+ hrs. What more can be said? Sound: 9/10 The best FF music yet. Brill! Characters: 10/10 Couldn't fault any of them Plot: 10/10 Better than FF7! Awesome. +7665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its a game I grew up with that I haven't gotten tired of, its great for when you need a break from the other command and conquers. you cant cheat like you can in Red Alert Retaliation where you can get instant Nukes and Cash but its nice to change it up every once in a while. +While Turok 2: Seeds of Evil stood in the shadow of Rare's Goldeneye during it's release, Turok 2 still stands the test of time in terms of gameplay and is one game every Nintendo fan should add to their collection. If not for the fact that it had a killer storyline and an awesome arsenal of weapons to play with, then for the fact it was an absolute beauty of a game. +But overall, this is a good game for the Genesis library that you should probably own. Unless if you have a more superior version of the game, or at least, what you think is superior. +1355 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I was so happy when I got it but it turns out it was BROKEN! Do not buy instead of this by star fox 64 I'm dead serious +The story is really silly but then again, when is there an episode of South Park that isn't just plain out ridiculous? Exactly. The controls are pretty easy too. You can set it to GoldenEye style of control or for you advanced users, you can use a Turok type of control. +Get F Zero for the Gamecube (play it on your Nintendo Wii, silly!) +Rare went all out and produced a game that is worthy of being the sequel to Donkey Kong Country. It's easy to see why this game sold out just as quickly and had people amazed that the SNES was capable of playing this kind of game. It was another groundbreaking experience at the time and it still holds up as a fun game. You can get this game used or if you have a Wii, download this game from the Virtual Console Service for 800 points ($8.00.) You absolutely need to have this game in your collection, ASAP! +558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Flying the Star Wars ship was super fun and bringing down those Imperial Walkers is super fun! +Make Eggs, Throw Eggs +2. Team building. Supposedly, you can make a team of various characters to accomplish missions...or send out decoys to divert the enemy. While fine in theory, either the program is faulty or I am as dense as a Kowakian monkey-lizard. It did take me several months just to figure out the basic game, even after reading the manual, but geez...I still can't get the Team thing done. +I turned the game off after I was done in the school and couldn't sleep with the light off!! I did eventually play through the whole game and beat it but I have never been so scared playing a video game in my entire life!!! The really scary music and sound effects play a big part. But what's really scary isn't just the atmosphere, the music or visuals. It freaks me out thinking about why the town of Silent Hill is deserted and how Samael came along. If I think about this stuff before I go to sleep, a lot of times, I can't sleep. The Alternate Hospital, Alchemilla Hospital is another really scary place in the game that really scared me too but not as bad as the school. To be honest, when I first was going through the Alternate school, the way it looked, that's what I thought hell would look like, it was so scary. To this day, it scares me! Sometimes even with the light on, it's scary!! Even though the graphics aren't the best, this Silent Hill game scares me more than Silent Hill's 2, 3 or 4 and they have better graphics!!! I would not recommend this game to anyone who scares easily! +3206 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was the best thing that came from the Dreamcast, aside from HOUSE OF THE DEAD. This was one of my main reasons for getting the Dreamcast. The graphics were awesome and the replay to this game was great. +We get a warm fuzzy feeling when we reflect on our happiest memories. We get inspired to create something. And we can share our experiences with others. +6795 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a old classic wrestling game. you can choose from Shawn Michal's, Undertaker, IRS, Bret Hart and a couple more. for it to say WWF and genesis both mean that it is a very old game. +Alex- 10/10 + + +The graphics and music are terrible too. + + +1052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Cool game. But I think Toad is the fastest of the crew. I used +Considering what we have in the game, it's not a bad game and I consider it a masterpiece in comparison to Mega Mans 6 and 7. However, fans of the older Mega Man games may be turned off by it. I recommend it to die-hard Mega Man fans who are willing to get over some cartoony animation. +Pros +8010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After having great success with Donkey Kong Country and DK2, Nintendo decided to make DK3 for the Super Nintendo and make it even better than the previous two versions. Nintendo had a very tough task to do in making this game even better, but they did. +Overall, if you've mastered the first two games and hunger for more, then by all means pick up RE3. It's not perfect, but any older fan will find this game worthwhile. However, NEW FANS SHOULD START WITH THE OTHER GAMES FIRST BEFORE TACKLING ON THIS ONE, AS THEY MAY FIND RE3 TO BE FRUSTRATING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. +2011 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Although there are video games out there that can wow you, and then there are the duds. Not all racing games seem to be the best behind the wheel. In the case of a video game coming based from an arcade version, it really seems to be alright, but looks are always decieving. In the case of Nintendo 64, there are very few racing games that really can make it behind the wheel. This isn't really one of them. + +4111 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game! The custom coasters are the thing that really gives this game its value. There are so many different options you can add to your park. Hours and hours of fun A must buy! +The resolution on the characters and the objects are high! +Regardless of difficulties, Myst is one of best games ever made especially for casual players. I rarely give five stars. +And, equally complimenting the humongous strides in the visual department is what I'd loudly proclaim to be the best soundtrack of the series. As was becoming the norm by this point, each character, vehicle, town and dungeon has its own accompanying theme song, but never before had the tunes been so closely intertwined and related as they are here. The softly plucked strings of the Balamb Garden, your base of operations for the majority of the game, are touched upon and mentioned throughout nearly the entire soundtrack, bringing the entire experience full-circle and tethering it to what's quickly identified by both story and player alike as your home. Even the overly sappy J-Pop love ballad, "Eyes on You," which is possibly one of the more annoying things I've ever heard on its own, fits in amazingly when surrounded by the rest of this impressive score. Nobuo Uematsu has never produced finer, nor more immediately recognizable and emotional work. + +What also aids the visuals is that the animations were done by Pixar themselves. It uses the digitized style of animation found in the critically lauded Donkey Kong Country series, and Toy Story manages to look just as good, if not better, than any of the games in that series. The complimenting colors, the visual design lifted straight from the film, and the incredibly smooth animations, as well as tricks like smooth sprite scaling and rotation, make this an incredible looking game, for its time. Again, the only thing I believe that comes close to it visually is the Earthworm Jim series. +9256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is a must have for any serious gamer. The graphics and realism are all that anyone could ask for, however you must be sure that you have a system that can handle the kind of power needed to be able to enjoy this game to the fullest. If you don't, all you'll be able to see is choppy, slide by slide movie looking gameplay, which takes away from the game, and makes it so that it's virtually unplayable. The bullet-time mode is what really makes the game though. It slows down time so that you can kill multiple enemies in one room, while taking minor if any injuries to yourself. Once again, a must have for any serious gamer. +1372 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I didn't use to be into Mario or Kirby but now I like them both as much as I like the Legend of Zelda series I still have many more games to purchase based on those 2 characters. But I think SuperMario 64 is a great story game a killer for the old games meant for the gameboy. So enjoy! +9819 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When my cousin started talking about the Resident Evil series, I thought I should give them a try. I got this one first, since the first one was all out. I got home and put it in the Playstation. I loved the beginning part, although I was confused not having the first one. First off there are 2 discs for 2 different characters, Leon and Claire. I found out later Claire is related to Chris from the first one. +First, the single player mode. While it has some interesting missions and some cool objectives, it's not really the heart of this game at all. About the only cool thing in the entire single player experience is the alien Elvis, who makes some funny, and weird noises when you talk to him. +5728 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...ok first off I can't get over how different the artwork here is...it's just so typically american...tee hee...anyway... +62 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A nice gift for Zelda collectors. +Now to mention something positive- the graphics are *extraordinary* by the N64 standards. Yes you will see occasional blockiness, but it's usually an uncommon occurrence. The console takes full advantage of a beautifully presented 3D world with believable jungle features that recall the same kind of magic from the Donkey Kong Country days. The music... that's a disappointing one however. The game is probably going for atmosphere, but the actual notes are only catchy during specific moments (such as Diddy riding a jetpack- I enjoy the drumming and guitar there) and the heavier guitar parts in other areas. Most of the time the soundtrack is forgettable. At least it feels that way in the main areas while you venture around exploring (or in other words where you spend half of your time). Occasionally some short-lived songs might perk your attention. +You get 128MB and you also get to use them, (PS2 slim is what I used). The memory card manager reads you have ~126,345KB free. + +The Gameplay is fast paced, simple and fun. Action packed- there is never a dull moment. +254 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My daughter found the old PS2 game system for her youngest son and didn't have but one or two games, no memory cards, etc. We found what we needed on Amazon! +7216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you.........Wonderful....and Trusting product and seller. Recommend. Word Word word word word word so many words required almost done.......and done +For that person who's never played Quake before, the object of the game is to make it through the game alive while killing and eliminating as many enemies as you can. Players wage battle through 25 levels, acquiring keys to unlock doors to progress through the game. There are no objectives except to kill everything in sight and make it to the next level. If you've ever played the PC version of the game, you probably won't be shocked with the changes made with the Nintendo 64 port of the game. All the levels are there but some are modified specifically for this game. There's no new or exclusive levels to speak of, although I feel the game may have sold better had there been a few. Unlike Doom 64, multiplayer is there but nothing to write home about. The two-player deathmatches are fun though. +5442 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Whew!!!!!!!!!...After being highly disappointed with the N64 version and playing it on the PSX with my cousin, I think that the PSX version is the BEST MORTAL KOMBAT GAME EVER!!!! I mean, how can you go wrong with picking this excellent title up to build up on your PS1 collection? This has Fatalities, Stage Fatalities, Brutalities, Fatalities and many others. Plus, you can get the classic MK Characters and stages. So, if you do not have this game and have either or all of the three PlayStations that have came out, I highly recommend you to pick this masterpiece up. +The first thing that stands out is the dialogue, especially of the evil witch, Gruntilda, or Grunty, who speaks in clever rhymes. It's refreshing all the more that what she says is often funny. The game begins with her asking her mirror, "Who is the most beautiful of them all?" Of course, it couldn't be Gruntilda. There's nothing even remotely pretty about a fat, green hag. The most beautiful of them all is Banjo's younger sister, Tooty (who looks similar to Tiny Kong of Donkey Kong fame). So Grunty sets off to kidnap Tooty and succeeds, leaving only the mole, Bottles, as a witness. Bottles must survive a downpour of Kazooie's insults and witticisms to explain the kidnapping to Banjo and Kazooie. The question becomes, can Banjo and Kazooie save Tooty before Grunty robs her of her beauty and transfers it to herself? +557 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 pretty good game. especially for the price. + +6850 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I first played this game at my cousins house. I had played sonic 3 before, so I was eager to play sonic 2. Man, they don't make video gmes like this anymore. Simple, yet challenging, yet extremely fun. I got the code for level select and super sonic shortly after I beat the game. Go to options at the title menu, go to sound test, and put in 19,65,9,17. You'll hear a sound. Then, press c. The title menu will come on again. Hold down A and press Start. The level select will come up on the screen. Go to the sound test at the bottom of the screen, and put in 4,1,2,6. You'll hear a sound, now you can be super sonic! Go to any level you want, get 50 rings and jump. + An interesting feature in this game that was (unfortunately) not featured in any others is that you can affect other bosses' stages by defeating a certain boss. For example, you kill Chill Penguin, and the lava in Flame Mammoth's stage freezes. Stuff like that...it's really neat-o. The only thing that this game is lacking is plot. Sure, if you sit through the annoying sequence in the beginning with the type writer and the alarm noise, you see that X is a new kind of robot that can think and act for himself and that if he was to make a wrong decision the effects could be disastrous. You would also see that a man named Dr. Cain discovered X in a capsule 100 years after he was made. But after that, there wasn't much to the plot, except "Let's go find Sigma!" and "I'll take him, X!" and then "Crap, I'm dead!" and finally, "You've killed me, X, but we'll meet again!" The plot is the only minus in this game. Had this game had a better developed storyline, it would've gotten the full five stars. However, it's still a great game, and I would recommend it to anyone who was new to the series and interested in which game they should play first, and it's not expensive, so anyone can easily buy it without getting a hole in their wallet. +PROS: +I honestly believe, if you have an appetite for running around destroying zombies, that Nemesis is the *perfect* Resident Evil game for you. I was completely taken by surprise as I continued to progress through the game and notice that the amount of zombies and other familiar enemies are absolutely LOADED almost everywhere you go. Zombies left and right! +7991 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing art and animation. its a 2d side scroller similar to abe's exodus. must own game. +Very good stroyline (I'm kinda surprised since I usually hate love stories) The story is as soild as this game can get. And unlike SOME RPGs *coughfinalfatasycough* You won't get bored and say "Oh please" at a useless plot twist that just makes you lose intrest in the game. +Get the game, unless you can't find it, then get the 2nd one! +slower animation than PC. + + + +2021 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Originally bought this for myself to take a trip down memory lane, but my 7 year old brother has been playing it nonstop for the past month lol It wasn't as great as I remember but at least someone is really enjoying it! +Plus, its got ninjas! I'm not only talking about a ninja master who uses Pokemon to duel you (I guess he never learned how to use shuriken or swords or stuff), I also mean you can name you Pokemon things like: Mifune or Hayabusa or Zatoichi or Swordsman with an Umbrella (that probably won't fit). Of course, you can also name it Winky-dinky-do, if it do please ya. But I digress. +Now that the graphics and the sound are out of the way, let's get into the meat of the game: the gameplay. + +lunar silver star harmony (psp) 8/10 downgraded version of the playstation masterpiece + +9482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is quite a lot different than the first Super Mario World in almost every way. +4668 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a terrific game for children who love the Toy Story films. All the regular characters make appearances and it's just too fun controlling Buzz Lightyear! I only wish the graphics, sound and control were a bit more polished. The dificulty comes mainly from a constantly moving camera (but you can fix it when needed) and a bit too loose control. For the younger gamers though these drawbacks won't matter much as it's fun just wondering around the levels and finding your friends. You get to explore Andy's house, Al's Toy Barn and an airport among others. Older and more experienced gamers will probably want to pass on this due to the laskluster graphics and unsophicated gameplay. But if you're a fan as much as I am then you'll be able to look past these drawbacks and enjoy the game. One thing to keep in mind is that to save your game you need to have a controller pack. +VIIb - a bonus, for when you finish U7 and wish for more. Same basic engine. + +2256 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It works like the one for the N64. It's a little bit bigger that you're not able to put the cover back on the N64. I haven't tried it yet with Perfect Dark and any other games that require the expansion pack. It's alright though. +The game doesn't move from place to place at all; the whole thing takes place in Gruntilda's huge lair, key word being 'huge.' This one location is just so big but perfectly balanced with the ease of traversing that it makes the perfect setting for a platforming game. There is a whole lot of variety within the mountain lair, with a sewer, swamp, graveyard, and many other spots. The areas of different theme will almost always take you to one of the game's nine worlds, which are all big, diverse, and have a lot of stuff to find. You'll find yourself at a mountain to begin the game, then moving on to a beach, and later a snow area and haunted mansion-like world, and so on. The game never really runs out of new material to throw at you, which is really nice, even if most of the themes are found in many other games of the genre, too. +4670 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 game was in good conditions for a childhood game. WARNING! you have to buy a game pack (memory card for N64) if you don't already own one. it does not save and you'll have to start all over again if you don't save your progress. other than that,get it! + +THE PENGUIN SPEAKS!(u better pick either the sorceress or the barbarian in this game or ill....) +5540 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of those rare cases where a game developer doesn't compromise gameplay in favour of graphics. Omega Boost gets the best of both worlds. Though the 360-degree environment can make you dizzy, the addition of the "face forward" button drastically improves ease of controls. And the backgrounds and characters look sharp but remain responsive, which makes for a great fast-paced shooter. +I've only done it once in my life and it's so frustrating that I never want to do it again. +2479 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is simply amazing, you can't disagree, it is so fun, never repetative because everyday I would invite friends over to my house and we would play for hours and hours. The gameplay is great, if your into Melee it is similar but it takes a while getting use to the controls of the Gamecube. I was a master at this game, I loves it so much, a character I recommend that all beginners should use would be Fox, he is the easiest to use, but he is also very good if you can use him right. Jigglypuff and Ness are not for beginners, but Metronome might be the strongest move in the game. This is a fantastic game, unlock characters, set new records for your vs matches because every match you have goes down into the record column. This is a must have for N64 whether you are 10 or 20! Remember though, play with friends, not by yourself! +164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Put on my controllers so it would like not get wear and tear and they are great! BUY! THEM!! AMAZING +The courses offered include somwhere around forty real racecourses from all around the world, accurately rendered and designed to scale. Everything from Laguna Seca, to Grindlewald, to Pikes Peak. +On the audio front, the sound effects are excellent. Launching rockets, shattering neon signs, and, of course, explosions. All well done. The intentionally emotionless female voice that addresses you after each stage is very credible, and the German commands you hear during boss encounters lend a terrific sense of atmosphere to the game. Moody and catchy techno tunes provide the musical backdrop and, for the most part, complement the corresponding areas perfectly. The operatic female vocals at the beginning of stage one clash very effectively with the destruction that ensues and let you know your ears are in for a treat from the start. And, the music for the sixth stage end boss (after the rocket with the time limit) is so rousing, you won't even care when he kills you 20 times in a row. +For nostalgia's sake, get this game, pop it in, disregard that it looks blocky on a new TV, and enjoy the memories! +~Pulse Gun-Like ASMD Shock Rifle, but more shooting, more ammo, and it's green not blue shooting. +7102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game! + +That's about all I have to say about this NBA 2K1 WANNABE GAME!!! +The Game Boy Color lets you play all of your Game Boy favorites in random color, but it also opens the door into a new colorful library of games! The Game Boy Color has continued the life span of the original system to 2002. +9836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a classic game. Good for anyone into playing older games. Does require older system to llay on but it is fu to use. +Riven is THE hardest computer game I have ever played. I know someone who got this game and it took him six months to finish it! I myself have not finished it yet. +- Mature and complex story +If you get this game(I strongly recommend that you should), you have got to turn off the lights, turn up the sound, and you'll step into the strange world of Riven. It's really cool. +New Tetris, The +1854 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 YES CHILDHOOD. +This is not the average Mario game, but rather is it what fans would call a Yoshi game, since it plays a lot differently. As Yoshi, you romp through levels like usual, but now you can throw eggs at enemies, as well as eat enemies to make eggs. There is also a huge variety of obstacles, like boulders, loads of unique platforms, collectible flowers, the enemies doing all kinds of stuff, etc, etc. But the thing is: It is all well-crafted and carefully put together for one of the ultimate platforming experiences. Don't believe me? Go on some video websites and watch some gameplay footage. One look and you'll agree that it looks beyond terrific. +I was impressed! + + +Golden eye and this game is almost the same because you get to use gun's so on. In this game you meet other people well, can't tell you, you got to play it yourdself. +If you have never played this game before, you will NOT regret buying this box-set. And if you once played it before, trust me, this trip down the memory lane will be just as addictive as the first time around. + + +*Survival + + +Oh, and FMV is done by LINKS, the specialist behind FF7, and Star Ocean 2. +1375 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My six year old grandson has had many hours of enjoyment especiall after receiving this cartridge and his console which shipped in another order. Everything was smooth and merchandise arrived in excellent condition and in time prescribed. +183 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Grips the controller amazingly, great for long gaming sessions as your hands get sweaty and hot during those times. The cover literally wicks it away, feels very rubbery, yet thin enough to be really comfortable!! I simply love it, it can get dirty since it catches dust rather easily, nothing a little simple green and a wipe can't take care of. 5 stars, this product is absolutely needed, wish the consoles came with it, out of the box! + +564 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic Game,came as expected, lightly used no excessive wear. +7762 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 What's not to say about the saga that is Star Wars? Already proven to be one of the most vast and expansive series in cinema history, it was no doubt that these stories would transcend into the video game genre. After many failed attempts at doing this, (See any Star Wars game for NES or Atari) - the Super Nintendo incarnation of Star Wars proved to be rough, but easily addictive. +What I didn't like about the story was that it was too confusing. Like, who is Nemesis?? Where did he come from?? I mean seriously whats his origin? Also, in RE2 Leon and Claire were looking for Chris, who we later discovered had traveled to Europe. But your telling me that Jill was in the city the whole time? And not once did Leon and Claire cross paths with her? Come on... +GAMEPLAY: This is where some have complained about FF8. Obviously the gameplay is different from FF7 and as you already know, Squaresoft dramatically changes the gameplay with each FF release. Sometimes it's for the better as it is here and sometimes it just doesn't work (FF9). Materia has been replaced by GFs or summons. Each character relies on them for abilities and what not. Stats are increased by leveling up and by junctioning magic to certain stats. Magic must be drawn from enemies or various draw points. MP has been eliminated and replaced by the draw system. GF abilites are learned by attaining AP from enemies after battles. The actual battles are almost the same as FF7 except limit breaks can be used only when a character is near death or when he or she uses an Aura spell, whereas in FF7 they were charged as the character takes damage. The difficulty level of this game was too much for some gamers. Enemies get stronger as your characters get stronger rather than certain areas containing different level enemies. I personally loved the difficulty level. FF7 became too easy around disc 3 and FF9 was WAY too easy throughout. The sidequests were more challenging than the other titles as well. This game was a great challenge for me and I loved it. Another great addition to this game was the Triple Triad card game. This was an incredible mini-game throughout the whole game. Even after you've beaten everything, you can still have fun playing Triple Triad. Squaresoft should make the next online FF title have an online version of this card game. The only drawback to this game is the number of things you can do inside the cities. The cities themselves are vast and much more detailed than FF7 but the problem is that there are few places you can actually go to in the cities. On FF7 and FF9 you can go inside item shops, houses, and other various places. Even the massive city of Esthar only has about 8 places you can actually go inside of. + +5811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 And I've been doing it ever since. My dad bought me this in the spring of 2000. To cut to the chase, this game is about building cities in ancient Egypt. In my opinion, the fun in playing games is about doing things that you can't do in real life, and city-building in ancient Egypt is a good example of one of those things. You will start by building some humble cottages and maybe even a well for your people. You will have to provide food, water, entertainment, health care etc., and as you do so, your city will evolve. If you need more money, you can build a tax collectors office. You decide how much tax the people are going to pay. Low tax will make you poor but popular (at least for a while), and high tax will make you richer but less popular. But then again, money is needed to make the city better. As your city gets bigger and better, you might even consider building the ultimate construction in the game: The Pyramid(!) If you're not interested in history now, I almost guarantee you will be after playing this game. I can't think of a game that has given me more hours of fun than this. Oh wait, the other games in Sierra's City Building series actually have: "Caesar", "Caesar II", "Caesar III", "Caesar IV", "Master of Olympus - Zeus", "Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom" are all made with this same great city-building-recipe as Pharaoh. All highly recommended (including expansions). The other games I listed are set in Rome (Roman Empire), Greece and China respectively. +6321 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In addition to being a superb CRPG, this game is very different than other games - simply because the story is such a good story. If this was a book, I would say it is awesome - how many computer games do you know you could say that for? + + +All the best, +1455 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sim City 3000 is really cool! You start off by making a Power Plant(I prefer Fusion or Microvave),laying power lines,zoning Residentail,Commercail,and Industrial areas,disposing of garbage,Making Roads and/or a Mass Transit System,Make Water Structures and pipelines,and Take care of Civic needs. Later in the game you might want to enact some ordinances(rules/laws),Make business deals with neighbors and organizations,set a budget(earlier on the computer does it for you),build rewards which most of them can only be optained thru Business Deals( ones optained without deal:county courthouse,Mayoral Mansion also know as you're house,city hall,performing of arts center,and Monument/statue. ones optained thru deal:Gigamall,Amusement Park,Space Port,Defense Contractor,Country Golf Club,etc.). Plus you can add Landmarks to you're City. This is a Great game,but for Sim City 2000 fans that want a totaly different game get the Unlimited Version(also known as Sim City 3000 Unlimited). +243 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It works great, I transferred all of my info from my other memory card and it works great. the only thing I noticed one of the screws was a little loose but I read that's how it supposed to be, if they are too tight card may not work. I'm a happy camper now because I can play all my old PS 2 games again. +5614 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am satisfied with purchase +Most games of the 16 bit era are not known for their stories. This is especially true of platformers which are always more focused on level design than anything. The only story to Donkey Kong Country 2 is that King K. Rool has kidnapped Donkey Kong and Diddy, along with his girlfriend Dixie, are going to save him. They will storm crocodile isle and face a lot of peril on their way to save Diddy's buddy. + +3111 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Man if you want to experience the greatest video game ever then this is it, look no farther. This game has it all. +5206 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I absolutely fell in love with this game when I first played. The story can get a little confusing at times, but thats no reason not to get this game. This game uses stealth, which really makes it fun for a number of reasons. The graphics in this game are a little cliche, but then again, it came out in 99 and its for PS1, come on. Only problem, it's way too short. If there would have been say, another 4 or 5 hours added to the game, I would have given this game a 5. But due to its lack of lenght, I give it a 4...out of 5 + +Bullets are plentiful. Handgun bullets, especially. They're everywhere on easy mode. So are shotgun bullets, however, make sure you save as many shotgun bullets are you can because towards the end of the game, when enemies get meaner and angrier, they will come in handy. You don't want to come face to face with three angry lickers and only have handgun bullets with you, believe me. Also, the magnum (which is found in the beginning of the game) is the ultimate weapon. +4909 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Extends my N64 controller and works great! Nothing like sitting back on the couch playing Goldeneye on the big screen! +4569 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game has a lot of challenges to it you will earn your pilot license when get your flight on and complete your missions +Furthermore, and here's where you'll really hate me, I think this game is the game that Quake 3 should have been at a minimum. I mean, you've got an actual honest-to-God single player game here that's actually good. Plus you've got all the multiplay or single vs. bots action that Q3 had, and more besides--more game types, and weapons with two fire modes. Clearly these guys took a look at Unreal Tournament and said guess what: we need to incorporate some of these features. Obviously if you're such a fraghead that this is what you play games for, you wouldn't buy this instead of Q3, but the point being that Q3 would have been a much better game if they'd gone the route that this game has. +5768 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first found out about FF8 from the TV commercials that were in heavy rotation when it first came out. It looked great and I heard it was an unprecedented 4-discs long. For some reason I never got around to buying the game until the price dropped to $25. I then bought it for $25 and the official strategy guide for a sale price of only $2. I was amazed. I've played this game 5 times. Which is more than I've ever played any other RPG. So you already know the replay value is immense. Now for the breakdown review. + +5425 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a truly great and very unappreciated game in this series, give it a shot. +Set after the events in the movie Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back but before the events in the movie Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi (and also based on the book of the same name), you set out to help Luke Skywalker and rescue Princess Leia from the hands of Prince Xizor. Choose from 3 difficulty levels and battle through 9 levels set in planets that are part of the Star Wars universe; battling enemies and making your way around as you would in a platform game. +Music: You'll love Diddy's monkey rap and Dixie's strumming the electric guitar. Thats just when you beat the level. You will find yourself humming the beat to yourself everywhere you go. The soundtrack is so amazing that I had to download it and put it on a cd so I could listen to it wherever I go. + +3400 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Power comes on but A/V does not work. Be careful from where you purchase. I read "Tested and works great!" But it doesn't. I ordered a NEW A/V cable for Dreamcast and HOPEFULLY, it works. +- Fun: This game touches you with a great story, great characters, great songs. You really feel as if you were Link in the beautiful land of Hyrule, and that makes the game so good that you can't say it's not fun. When you feel like the character, you just can't stop playing, even in the boring parts (in other words, the Water and Fire Temples). The different times you play and the many secrets hidden (I mean it, many secrets, I highly doubt you can get them all!) makes the game even greater, even more perfect. +Anyways..i wouldn't really recommend anyone spend $40 bucks on this game. Wait until it gets to $19 or so bargain bin. And i hope the developers put some real effort into make a more viable ship simluator for its next incarnation or you are not getting any more money from me. +Bottom Line: An awesome sequel to an already awesome game +15. Temple Of Xian + But, most importantly, this game delivers a few good messages. Examples would include the threat nuclear warfare possesses on the world as well as the meaning of life. Sadly, most gamers do not take these messages in and just sees MGS as simply a game. MGS is more than a game, it is perhaps the first game to ever attempt a movie-like feel and succeed. I hope this game, as well as its creators (Konami, Hideo Kojima, and Yoji Shinkawa) will go down in history as important figures in the gaming industry. +Third (and this is just something I would have thought to be cool - not dinging this set at all for not doing it) it would have been INCREDIBLE if they had some sort of audio device inside that makes the chest opening music from say Ocarina of Time when you open it - similar to when you open a greeting card with pre-recorded messages. Perhaps someday I will figure out how to do it myself - until then I will have to just sing the tune myself :) +7067 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent. + +The games graphics are beautiful with excellent lighting effects and player models. Your characters are large and really show off the time and effort spent on them with every detail rendered. The size of many of enemies is enormous. +3614 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome, love it! Great shape, no scratches at all. +7796 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an oldie but goodie. Graphics suck compare to today's games but its very awesome to have and play. One of my favorites. +If you haven't figured it out by now, you need to go out and play this game. Do what you have to, and make sure you go through the whole thing and enjoy yourself. A lot of people will tell you this game is over rated. Even if it is so what, it's a good game and that is all that matters. While mentioning this great FF title I suggest that you try some of the older titles that are great too, such as FFIII or FF the original. This is one of the best series of games out there and if you haven't heard of it yet then you need to have a better source of information for games. So go out and play this you will love it! I bet when you find a penny on the ground you will be thankful it helped you buy this game. + +4963 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Got it for my son's Sega, works great does what it's supposed to do, fits perfectly into the TV and the Sega! +That right there is the definition of fun....excitement....and horror....all making this game the number one video game of all time. +2758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't remember if Myst was my first PC game. I know it was the one that got me hooked--to the point where I kept upgrading computers and peripherals just to keep up with the games. I tried to replay Myst a year ago and found I couldn't figure it out (have I lost that many brain cells over the years?), didn't have the patience or something to keep at it. But like a first love, I remember it very fondly and treasure it. It's almost heart breaking to think that some day soon, as Windows continues to do upgrade to different styles of OS, newbies won't be able to experience Myst. Just like so many young people will never know how it felt when rock'n'roll burst forth. To confess, I liked the graphics in Riven better. And I never liked Artus (whatever) or his two sons--thought they were all slackers and whiners with serious emotional problems. I loved that you could not die and nothing attacked you--really allowed [me] to explore and indulge my curiosity. Loved the details (little bugs that moved, atmosphere, just everything). Sound effects and "music"--wasn't Myst one of the first to put visuals and music together? All in all, many good things started with Myst. I know it was the first computer game that spent time and money on the graphics (something I always appreciated). At most places, the game play wasn't strictly linear so you could play in whatever order you wanted. You could "spin" around and see everything. It was totally mouse driven. One feature I loved (but many others complained about) was that it was an empty world, you never had to/got to interact with anyone else in Myst; for me it was somewhere of my own where I could explore to my heart's content, go back and walk around areas that I liked (like "tree" world (can't remember it's actual name) even after you finished that level. It is an all 'round beautiful game. + +I easily got 40+ hours of gameplay and the story blew me away. Every time yu think you know what's going on another clue pops up and blows everything else away. There's an even balance between combat and actual RPG where you talk to folks in towns. +6174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived quickly and as described. I am happy with this purchase. Thank you +189 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 don't really need cards larger than 8MB and the 8MB by sony is most compatible with all games but these work too +2685 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It works to my expectations. I wish they Didn't demand a certain number of words since i don't have that much to say. + +It's just that DAMN AWESOME! This game has everything! Story, characters, battle system, music, humor and more! If it didn't why else did this game influenced so many other things that followed it after? Because it was just damn awesome! +7035 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 wear and use on the cartridge but the game plays without any problem +Simplicity. +Get this game.... +4842 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even Though i played only the first two levels i thought this was an excellent game. This is a game to by after you rent it. It's tons of fun. It's a great game. You gotta try it. +8676 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Cool me and my dad play it we race and play together no flaws we love it you will too +The opening of the game is cool, as you're given a Raw like intro that used to open Monday Night Raw back in the mid to late 90s. From there on, you're taken to the menu screen that's in the form of an elevator. In the menu you can look at the wrestlers' biographies that let you listen to their theme and see their attires they wear in the game. There's also a Training mode on the menu that lets you pick a wrestler and learn how to perform their moves before you go into the game. +I'm a complete convert. Until MP I had NEVER played a 3rd person game for more than an hour or so. I HATED 3rd person, it's for consoles. Now I'm on board. +At times you may even have to run in between cubes to get to the ones you must capture in order to avoid forbidden cubes. Should you ever get crushed by the cubes, they'll automatically roll off the edge of the stage and a row will collapse. If that happens you'll have to go through the same set again. If you successfully capture all cubes without capturing any forbidden cubes you'll gain another row. +Don't miss out on this classic, get it now. +- A better version of a great and original game +I don't think Zelda: Link to the Past is a very challenging game, except in certain places, but it does have its fair share of tricky moments. I guarantee you will beat it eventually though, and it's much easier than the original Legend of Zelda on the NES. As for the music, everything sounds very clear and ahead of its time. The music plays in all the appropriate places too. The dark places have quiet, spooky music. The music in the lighter, happier areas of the land give off an energetic and confident feeling, making it feel like Link is on top of the world and nothing can go wrong. Expect to hear mellow themes which might bring you to tears. I'll have a tissue box waiting for you in case it happens! Supposedly the guy who created the music in this game is a master of coming up with incredibly fitting orchestral themes. And I believe that to be true. +7125 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am another one that has recently pulled out their old N64 to play. Looking through the bag of games I found Doom 64. My love of Doom began again. I have been a fan of Doom ever since the original came out in 1993 when I was ten years old (22 years old now). This is game is immense fun. +Story: Some virus gets out of control and eliminates 99.9% of the females on planet earth. This dude named Griffin is in love with this girl, and then the government comes and takes her away. Meanwhile, gangster militias that are armed with Tanks take over the US and likely the rest of the world. Griffin vows to get his girlfriend back and save America from the various Tank gangs. +The game features a quest pack, but I don't find it fun. They expect you to win against dozens of creatures and evil guys and God knows what else, while you control, at best six or seven creatures. +The voice acting is not very good. Some of the actors seem miscast, and suffer from uneven performances. It doesn't detract too much from the experience, but can trigger eye rolls in more cynical audiences. +347 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I always hated how Gamecube controller's cords were so ridiculously short. Since I use them on my Wii now, it is much more hazardous for my Wii if someone trips over the short cables. This was a perfect solution to my problems. So far I haven't had any problems with them and they allow me and my friends to not sit 6 ft away from the Wii. Another great thing about these is that you can plug them end on end to make a longer cable. + +5526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Clearly, Sub-Zero is the best. He can freeze dudes and then make ice clones of himself and then he be all like YO DUDE TOUCH THIS and then he touches it and he is frozen and Sub-Zero wins. This game be so hardcore. Combos? Figure them out, nerd. Fatalities? They haven't told you them before and they won't start now, fishstick. Quan-Chi has it out for you, and it's up to you and fall in love with some chick, kill her sisters, and then be mad then she dies. 5/5. +4942 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfect and in very good shape. Thank you. +428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of my all time favorites, I give it a 10/10 in the RPG genre. It is a turn based RPG, that is fun to play. I own this game for the PSP and the now the PS1. This game is a rare find in good condition. If you find a better RPG than this, besides the final fantasy games of course, let me know! +4589 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Loser! The cars in this game don't leave behind any dust, they bite the dust! It's no wonder that Activision didn't dare tie this game directly into Interstate '76. There is just no comparison to the classic game. I would love to compare this game but since Activision isn't doing that I won't either. Let's go down the list of Graphics, Control, Game Play, Sound/Music, and Fun Factor. That will give or take one star for each category. +At the time, no one ever saw anything like this before. Although the graphics look fairly primitive now, they were still eye candy for most Mario fans, especially back then. +3883 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first played this game, I knew next to nothing about the sport of golf. I rented it for three days, not only learning how to play golf, but quickly becoming horribly addicted to it. +6976 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was looking for this game forever glad I found it works awesome no problems! ++ great package +No crappy heroes to level up! +1046 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mario Kart: 64. It is such an improvement from the Super Nintendo version. The graphics are quite detailed in comparison to the other 64 games out. I would say, above average. However, the graphics is not what sets this game off above the others. It is the enjoyment level! +Although Planescape: Torment uses the same engine as Baldur's Gate, the "camera" is closer to the ground, thus making the characters and their immediate environment quite detailed. However, this makes everything very close, so ranged weapons are useless and by the time some spells are cast, the foes are beating the @$#%^ out of you (some can't be negotiated with!), or with some of the area spells, you get hurt as much as the enemy. You have to learn very quickly what works. The music score, although sometimes tedious after many hours, contains some great themes - Deionarra's theme in particular is so hauntingly beautiful it was worth visiting her just to hear it. The voice cast, containing some reasonably well known actors, is largely wasted since, except for a few introductory phrases, most dialogue is text. However, among others, you will hear Michael T. Weiss (The Pretender), Mitch Pileggi (X Files), Dan Castellanetta (Simpsons), John DeLance ("Q" in Star Trek: TNG) and who knew this is what Sheena Easton has been getting up to lately. +The PROS: This was a proper way to make a sequel to an arcade game that helped put Nintendo's name out there. Everything in the game worked and every aspect of it complimented each other. Playing through 100 different levels was impressive and it never felt repetitive. The new features that were never in the arcade game helped kept the game fresh even though the goal was always the same. On top of that, Donkey Kong was one of the first game to take advantage of the Super Game Boy peripheral that Nintendo released for the SNES (it played all original Game Boy games.) It did that by coming with additional colors and an exclusive border screen when you used the Super Game Boy to play the game and it looked fantastic. +The level designs have a very interesting variety of platforms and enemies, as well as some neat decorations. The game never seems to grow pretty boring at all. And along with all of the bashing, throwing, pouncing, etc you could do, there are also a few puzzle elements thrown in certain levels /:-) +7104 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The nostalgia +3780 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In this game you play Sonic the Hedgehog attempting to Chaos, the watery God of Destruction, from annihilating the world. Later in the game, five additional characters are introduced into the game - each with their own style of play. +6732 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 X-Men II:Clone Wars is a fantastic action-adventure game for the Genesis console. It boasts large character sprites, clean, colorful graphics, a huge number of intersting levels, and who doesn't like being able to pick Wolverine, Psylocke, Beast, Gambit, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, or even Magneto to play as before each level? The plot is fairly thin (so thin you won't even notice it), but that's not where the fun factor is: clean, fast, powerful action, big, varied levels (Siberian taiga to Asteroid X to the Amazon rainforests), and big, fast bosses make this game into a Genesis masterpiece. +5868 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with order +Wisdom (using different magic boosts this) +The cons, + + + +Do not hate a game for it's age. + +Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time +In PSII you control a party of up to 4 characters. Players wander around a world map until they encounter one of the random battles that are extremely common. This game is combat heavy! Expect to spend most of your time wading through vicious battles and leveling your party. +You are the world's last hope! Can you save everyone and defeat the evil Ganondorf in this breathtaking adventure game?! + + +The bad thing about this game is that it requires way too many hours considering that it doesn't have that many levels and it's just a Fighting/Action/Adventure. I played this game for at least 3 weeks before I finally got the hang of it. +Overall 10/10 +Then you wake up... and you start off in a crashed SUV wondering where your daughter is. +There are very few games that will ever score a perfect rating with me, but with Illusion of Gaia, I can honestly say, from the bottom of my heart, that a perfect score is what it deserves. All this time later, I still find myself popping the game in, playing it from start to finish without stopping. It's an outstanding game that deserves all the praise you have for it, and I think that, with this review, I have done it justice. Rated as my 3rd best game of all time, Illusion of Gaia is an excellent and enticing adventure that you will not want to miss! +Ultimately though, those are just the bells and whistles. The game-play is where it's at and that is where Starcraft truly excels. The biggest innovation here is the truly different races. In past games (can you say warcraft 2?), the opposing forces have the exact same units with different looks. In Starcraft they are really UNIQUE. Every side has its strengths and weaknesses and there are no real equivalent units. Every different match-up, whether it be protoss-zerg or terran-protoss requires a different strategy. The terrans are mobile and do well in combined-arms, the protoss are durable, powerful and expensive, and the zergs are numerous and frail. The single-player game plays out well with a ten mission campaign for each race. The campaigns are played out in a set order (terran,zerg,protoss) Why? So you can follow the STORY. Yes there is a story and it is very good too unlike most Real-time strategy games. Once you finish the single player game, then you can go online to Blizzard's free internet service for some of the best multiplayer action there is. +After playing a hundred or so hours it will have you feeling as if you are a compitent general, capable of changing the course of history. +Most people do not like the graphics in this game but i think there done really well. The only problem graghicly is due to the early psx hardware most 3d games looked blocky and pixely at the time and this on tries to smooth things out kinda cel shadish but not quite this leads to some blockeness but its still better then most 1998 and before graphics. Kinda a 3d playable anime style to it. The sound isn't to bad in this game. Voice acting can be really good or painfully bad andThe music is catchy maybe not as much as the nes megamans but still good. However there is moments without any music. Technically speaking I would say the game has aged well. + +Baldur's Gate is about a kid (played by you) who grows up in Candle keep,under the kind tutelage of his foster father,Gorion. After a couple of years growing up,Gorion wants to move away. You don't know why. In about 20 minutes into the game (that's how long it took me)Gorion gets killed in a horrid battle by mercenaries. You must avenge him. But,after traveling and making friends (and making enemies),you find out your dark secret. +8222 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Crusin' World is absolutely a great game! The courses are so fun and have neat scenery, like on Hawaii, there is the underground aquarium, and on China, the Great Wall of China. There are neat cars, also. On this game, there is no such thing as a slow car. They all have high speeds and are stylish. You can also get bonus cars, which are all really neat. The graphics are really neat, they have great details. I like how you can get bonus points for doing tricks. The easiest ones are the Mega Roll, and Jump Flip. The best course for tricks is without a doubt Germany. Crusin' World is one of the best racing games Nintendo has produced. If you enjoyed this, you'll probably like Crusin' USA. I recommend this to absolutely everybody! +3355 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite games from my childhood! Original resident evil games and this game must be in your survival horror collection. +Shotgun +5443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As usual, our friends at midway and gamespy have put out an excellent PS2 game where you can kill each other and no one gets hurt. Take it one bit (or is it byte) at a time. Different fatalities, different moves, always exciting, excellent product. +Pros: +- Good/Tight controls +Gameplay = 9/10 +5134 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Buy. It's as they said it would be + +2735 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I found the lack of polygons and elaborate battle techniques a blessing in the Silver Star Story! I'd rather see a realistic cartoon than an annoying, jerky 3-D anytime. The music is beautiful and I'd catch myself humming the opening theme occasionally at work. The anime artwork in some of the scenes is breathtaking and the storyline is engaging. I am looking forward to the sequel which will be coming out around the 29th of November. +If anything, I might have wished there would be a little more diversity in terms of weapons, levels, missions and some kind of a story. Imagine the customizeability of Armored Core coupled with the furious action and beautiful graphics of this game! However, that didn't seem to be the intention of the designers. As an old-fashioned "blow-everything-up" shooter, Omega Boost ranks among the best there is to offer. +Playing the game, one truly gets a sense of being stranded. In essence, it puts the player in the perspective of every human being there during the outbreak. You never know who or what has been turned, nor where those beings now dwell. Caution is the only priority, and this game capitalizes on that. +Overall its a great console that I would recommend to people who want to experience some history in gaming without the loss of content from an N64 cartridge. +I love how they have optional bosses in this game like VII. If only the other bosses compared to his difficulty. +5925 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Final Fantasy 8 is the worst of the entire final fantasy series. +Gameplay 8/10 + +5962 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you think PC games are all show and no go these days, then think again. Diablo II brings to the table addictive, almost old-school type gameplay (it even reminded me of Zelda at times), rich sound effects, an involving storyline and adequate enough visuals to complement them, that it will keep you hooked for hours on end. I haven't played the first Diablo, so Diablo II was my introduction to the series. +THE BAD + +* Your park can win all sorts of awards including safest, tidiest, best value, most beautiful, cleanest toilets and more! +I have yet to beat this game, but I'm having a blast while doing so. If you have to go with one version of Donkey Kong, get this one. It has elements from the original Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. (who also makes an appearance), and, of all things, Super Mario Bros. 2. There are other notable improvements such as the ability to do backflips, performing a hand-walk to deflect barrels, and even jumping further down from one platform to another (just not too far). This game pretty much laid out the groundwork for the Mario vs Donkey Kong series and is the prequel to them. Yes, this is the first of this series, so if you loved those games, you will love this. 101 levels on a Mario platformer for less than 5 bucks is quite a bargain. Snatch this up when you can, whether it be for your GameBoy system, Super GameBoy for SNES, GameBoy Player for GameCube, or even on your 3DS. I found the cartridge of this game along with a Super GameBoy peripheral for around 11 bucks altogether so I could see how good the Super GameBoy improvements were. It's about as good as it gets, but even though it's only in black and white on the 3DS, I would recommend that one because you don't have to worry about the battery save dying and it has restore points you can bounce back on. I recommend either cartridge or download. Pick up this gem if you love Mario/Donkey Kong games. It's a great addition to add to your collection +644 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Grim Fandango combines every element you look for in an adventure game in a fluent and involving fashion. The plot, the comedy, the political intrigues, an occasional romance... All right here! One of the things I found most amusing was, whenever Manny (the main character) manages to build his life (or is it death?) up again, you (the player) takes over and manages to ruin it in a day! (Whew, think I got enough parenthesis in!) If you enjoy an easy-going adventure game with a great story to tell, this game's for you! + +7489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember the first time I saw this game... What a beautiful memory. Even though the Nintendo 64 turned out to kinda bust, it was my transition from 2d to 3d games. My first experiences with 3d were with Mario 64. I first played Nintendo 64 at a friend's house, and Wave Race 64 was one of the first games I played. My jaw was hanging for about a half hour. The first thing I saw was Dolphin Park - swimming dolphins, fish, "splashy" sounding music, backflips, barrel rolls, and BEAUTIFUL water. It was too much! What a surreal experience! After I got back up from fainting, my friend and I played this game for HOURS and HOURS and HOURS and HOURS. We would go to Southern Island and tried to find what we could ramp over, go under, and crash into. It sounds pathetic, but I've had some of the best times of my life playing Wave Race 64 with friends. +2006 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If you are new to Mario party games, check out number 2 or 3. This is fun to begin with but when you keep playing the same mini-games it gets a little boring. We rented this and and liked the concept but didn't enjoy it much but when Mario Party 2 came out and it stated it had more mini-games we bought that one and we really enjoyed it. We can't wait to get the 3rd one. No matter what game you go with expect to play for atleast an hour. + +7371 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good shape + +One of the interesting twists of Jedi Knight is that your alignment towards the dark side or the light side is determined by how many innocent people you kill or by certain moral decisions you make as the game progresses. You shape your own destiny and at the end of it all your decisions determine how the story turns out. +If you can find any game that can match that criteria and do it as well as FF7, then I'll eat your hat!!! Screw 5 stars....100 stars!!! +7222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game is a classic! Even though it has been around for a while, my daughter has spent many hours playing this game and loves it! +3014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I heard people say this game sucks because they say the story is stupid, but they don't understand how good of a game this was in its time, it was a masterpiece and if you can find a place to buy it from DO NOT resell it this game will be hard to find in the future so its only good to buy it and keep it as a collectors item ! + +*flex* + +9303 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Really lame and should be avoided. I do not know why Sega is intent to release all this [junk] for the Saturn, but it is not getting them anywhere. +You should +3924 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Overly complex game. Start to finish there is nothing exciting included in this game. Whatever side you play starts with a great disadvantage and it just goes downhill from there. Not just a challenge, each order is monotonous and the game becomes disinteresting within an hour. Don't waste you time or money. + + +Even though "Age of Empires II" is beginning to be dated, the game is still excellent and worth the money. This will be one to go down as a "classic", very similar to "Warcraft II". A definite buy. +The different levels are fun, with their atmosphere and backgrounds. The music is on the generic side and doesn't go themed with the world you're in, as more modern fighters tend to do. Also it is sometimes fairly easy to simply knock your opponent out of the ring and be done with it. + + +UPDATE: I found out a really cool Easter egg. In 1-Player mode, someone can actually control Tails as the second player! This is pretty much the closest thing to a 2-Player co-op mode. Although Sonic still hogs the camera, your friend can help collect rings, defeat the bosses, get rings in special stages, and he/she can just plain goof off. After all, Tails IS invincible, so he won't lose rings or lives for Sonic. +Overall, the game is awesome and challenging. This is the Sonic game all fans should get. +7845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Title says it all. at first the controls are a little tricky but you get used to them quickly. Plenty of secrets to find, different enemies and fun bosses. Overall great shooter and tons of Dinosaur hunting Fun! +Sonic the Hedgehog can be a difficult game for people who hate chili dogs, so if you get a game over, it's nothin personnell, kid. +7893 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. Seller was very nice. Fast shipping. By far one of the greatest Mario games ever. + +One thing that felt a bit lacking in this game was a lack of storyline. It can be summed up in a few sentences. You're father went missing. Go find him. While you're at it save the world. But, you come to expect this from older video games so it didn't detract too much from the game. +I especially love the verbal taunts after a 'critical' hit or misses...like "DIE!", "Did you see that?" and "Damn" The special effects are cool too. Spells, healing animations, critical hits and such. +4383 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just finished playing Lucasart's latest Indiana Jones thriller, and I am certainly amazed by it! I find it hard to believe that this excellent game has gotten so many poor reviews. Come on people! Don't we buy computer games (especially when they're run offs of our favorite movies) to try and journey into another world? Isn't that exactly what Indy and the Infernal Machine does? It great gaming at its best! +9064 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong Country really pushed the limits of what the SNES could do. The graphics were very ahead of their time. I don't normally rate graphics, but this game gets points just because it had 3-d textures and characters in a 2-side scroller, which was a first for games back then. Also, the sound design in this game is great. Each sound is clear, and you can easily distinct the step of one of those fat brown dudes with the green army helmets from the sound of a crocodile's mouth opening and closing. This game is loads of fun, with two characters who you can switch between depending on what the situation calls for. There are tons of secrets to find, and riding around on the animals is an experience a true gamer could never forget. This game serves up great challenge without getting too hard. The levels in this game are brilliantly designed, and make for deeply addictive gameplay. If you like this one, check the second and third one also, as the series builds on its weak points as well as its strong points, making for great, well rounded gameplay in all of the games. +Only a few save slots. +The PC version is different from others is that it features 5 languages, but no voice-overs. Voices are done in the same way as the people in "The Sims" or the adults in Charlie Brown shows. +Sound: 3 +.Many unique charecters, modes and places +9308 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 One main gimmick (the bullet-time feature) and some decent graphics. That's all this overrated game really offers. And not only is it a 1.5 trick pony, but it's a very short one, too...you can finish it the same day you receive it. +Zelda version 1.0(Gold Zelda Cart), 1.1(Grey Zelda Cart), and 1.2(Grey Zelda Cart Newer version). If you're not +If you're new to fighting games, this is a good place to start, with lots of easy combo strings and flashy moves, with enough depth to justify spending a week or two learning the ins and outs of your favorite character. Unfortunately, hardcore fans will be disappointed with the emphasis on uncounterable pokes, double reversals and insane float combos. + +Replay Value: 6.5/10 +Whatever benefits the Gameshark gives are simply not worth it in the long run. It doesn't ruin your game permanently, but it ruins itself just fine. There was never any justified reason for the way my two Gamesharks just simply broke down and stopped working. +PROS: + +WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE: +--On the map screen, when your character is standing on a level, its name will appear.

(: +6715 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I advise when purchasing used products to read everything in the detailed description and look over the percentage of the company ratings. You may find a few without cases. Mine came with a few scratches and a new battery case but it works great! I love it! + +6063 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How can you play PlayStation games without this?It rocks in making PlayStation games fun or boring. It can vibrate,let you play games,and you should buy it so you can play those games! +No the graphics aren't AMAZING, the voice acting is not AMAZING, the game-play is not the most intuitive, and the camera angles...let's face it are just plain horrible through most of the game. All that being said, it is still a piece of Dreamcast history and Sonic history as well. A real Sega/Sonic fan would have this game. +From its exciting beginning to its great ending, Final Fantasy VIII is one of the best RPG's to grace the Playstation, or any console. +Where the game flags, I suppose, is in its surprising unfaithfulness to the film. There's no ability to eliminate opposition by "dirty tricks", and you can't disable the "i-crashed-but-now-i-have-a-new-racer" feature. The pod racers are absolutely indestructible here (though they can be seriously damaged) and that's a disappointment. I would've liked a "harder-edged" version--perhaps one you could toggle on and off--but it's a small complaint for an otherwise stunning effort. +This is the game that got me back to playing games that actually have a story. + + +Graphics: (4/5) - Would be 8/5 when this first came out! +Gameplay +I will admit that once you got good at the difficult parts (usually after the bikes because it felt like it was impossible), you got really good at the rest of the game. There were still parts here and there but other than that you could deal. +All of this detracts a bit, but it's a testament to the strength of the concept and execution that this would still be a five-star game, even with these issues. The killer--the thing that made me subtract a star--is the track-laying interface. It's really easy to lay track you didn't mean to. There's no undo. It actually costs you to remove it. The way the UI figures out the smoothest route is dubious, and there's really no decent handling for the fact that finding the smoothest track is best done at the closest zoom while finding the shortest route is best done at the furthest zoom. + +Is sad to hear that sega is not making anymore Dreamcast this year because PS2 is a top seller,but I hope the game maker like Capcom,Eidos,Activision and other company that support Dreamcast still make more game this year. +I would have given this a 5 but they need to change up that ending a bit......kinda goes to fast. :( + +229 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loaded most of my old PS2 saves on it due to several of my memory cards are missing files from 9 years ago. I am satisfied. +8791 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, BUT HARD AS HELL!!!! + +No real story is going on here; there are no characters and nothing happens inside of a mission to alter the plot. There are some vague cutscenes between the missions, but they're so irrelevant that you could have just played the missions and made up your own story to string them together. +4839 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product was a great gift. It was well received and got here right on time as expected. Would buy again. +what else ? + + +9931 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 4 fathers of this game are castlevania 1, not 2, 3, 4, and legends. "no babies" implies that there hansn't been a castlevania quite like it since. straight linear levels prgressions w/ boss at end of level. no eqipment or ability upgrades (minor item power ups think "power up" in altered beast) 2 playable charachters, infiite pits, boss paterns, cheap deaths, romantic atmospheres(ah greece, romania, industrial russia?)...but lacks the non-linear gameplay first spawned by dracula x pc engine (avoid snes dracula x heir equivalent)) and then enhanced by: "symphony of alucard, circle of the useless spell books, aria of should have been titled white night concherto, and harmony of 2 castle rip off of the iverted castle induced by the grandady". not castle 1, played it recently very cheap hits but solid enough control. In conclusion I have decided not to buy the new castlevania: "lament of innocence" due to it's devil may cry heritage. I am glad footsteps are made away from 2d and the tried and true formulas of symphony, but I want a remake of castle 2. I guess you will have to look there for why. conclusion...castlevania meets smetroid=it is not...sonic versus mario=getting more linear...decap attack versus chakan=sounds like my teen spirit +Gameplay:9/10(Exactly like RE except you have 3D graphics instead of 2D) + + + + +The graphics for this game are cartoon based, very colorful and full of life. Some of the terrain where battles take place can be mundane, almost eye sore. I say this mainly due to the fact that your crew of fighters level up FF style, so random battles in grasslands and deserts constantly, can make for very boring backgounds. Not all is bad though. As you progress the story, areas inside castles and around civilized structures are a pleasent and much needed change of pace. The level of detail is limited due to the angle and distance the game platform is structured on but does not take away from the experience. +3667 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If your looking for a nostalgic experience there is nothing better than this baby. Playing 4 players just like the old days with my friends really does bring back those great childhood memories. It came used and worked normally but if your game does not load on your screen when you turn it on be sure to blow inside the cartilage. Good quality, quick delivery. + + +Despite the game being easy and not having the best graphics or sound, it's still 5 stars. The game's storyline and gameplay is so good that the rest doesn't even matter. You'll still find yourself going back and playing this game over and over again. +2626 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Owned my first Nintendo Gameboy Color back in 1999 and loved it so much! I passed it on to a nephew and it still worked as of the last time I checked on him in 2010. I miss the Gameboy so much! +This is a great gift for anyone who is young (especially) and for anyone with a N64. + +Bottomline: There is no game out there with more moves then this. + +4316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The greatest computer game I have EVER played has been changed to Homeworld. I do not know how they pulled this off, but the first successful venue of taking real-time strategy (RTS) to 3D is an astounding success. Perfect interface, lush graphics, and killer multiplayer. Complaints, the single player game is kinda short, but there are expansion packs on the way! +control 10/10 +During your visit at Raccoon city you will encounter, what many call the best RE boss (and they are right, of course): T- type Tyrant code named Nemesis. Be ready, because this BIG guy will make you know the true meaning of the word "HORROR" as he will follow you to every room and stage you go. He is relentless and almost invincible. So, make sure you save your best weapons and cures for every encounter with this guy. If you think you are up for the challenge, I strongly advise you to fight him every time you come face to face with him a every time you succesfully defeat him, he will drop special cases with useful items you can use later on to help you make up for whatever you loss during your fight with him. +ALL AROUND, I GIVE THIS GAME A 2, maybe 3, thumbs up. + +Cheat: 999% +4271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I LOVE THES GAMES ITS THE BEST OF THE STAR CRAFT COLLECTION YOU HAVE GOT TO BUY THIS GAME IF ITS GOING TO BE A GAME GET THE ONE FORSURE ITS THE BEST STAR CRAFT GAMES IF YOU GO TO THE STARCRAFT WEB SITE ITS MORE EXPENSIVE AND IF YOU GET IT SEPERATELY MORE MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY WILL THINKS. + +5102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Each game in the HoMM series is remarkable for adding to the gameplay, the complexity and the richness of the original idea while preserving the basic playability and worthwhile strategy elements found nearly a decade ago (in the games' ancestor "King's Bounty"). It's extremely rare to find a sequel that improves on the original =without= rendering them obsolete. (HoMM I and HoMM II are today almost as playable as this game, lacking only the polish and convenience that comes from so many years of refinement.) This is only achieved by making the game different enough so that you have to change or refine your thinking about it. +1172 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Miyamoto slacked off on this one. + +GOOD: +Overall-The moral of this story is don't try to kill this guy you will just piss him off. + +Sega honestly doesn't have any games that I really want to play. Even when first coming out over a year ago, there were few games that really caught my eye. Carrier was one of them because I thought the premise was better than the Resident Evil games (which I don't care for...). I needed a fighter and Streetfighter fulfills that. I have DOA2 on the way, but the game that made me buy the DC was Phantasy Star On-Line. +Even without the GBC version, this is a top-flight golf game in its own light. Add the Game Boy Color version and a Transfer Pak and you have a keeper. + Ord Mantell Junkyard: 10/10 - This whole level takes place on hover trains (except the boss) and its very fun to kill enemies on moving vehicles. +Being a 1999 game it has "primitive" graphics.. no 3D etc as in today's games, but I still think they're decent. Also, like Civ II, this is not a half-hour game.. it can go on for some time.. but at least you can save it and pick it up later. + + +This game would have made a better pre-realease game because it prepares you for the most grueling parts of MGS. So if your a new comer to the MGS series get this game first its ideal for training you for the real game. +The story for this game is pretty good. The bad guy in it is cool.. The bosses are loads of fun. House of the Dead II is one of the best gun games you can find for a system. +Funny characters. You cannot tell me that you cannot relate to Squall's stubbornness. Or Zell's funny attitude.(Barret anybody?) +Unfortunately, "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island", as of November 2012, has not been released on the Wii's Virtual Console due to difficulties emulating the Super FX 2 chip. The only way to play this fantastic game is a working SNES or if you pick up the Gameboy Advance port from 2002. Here's holding out hope Nintendo will re-release this awesome game so more gamers can experience its amazing goodness! +Berret....he's anoying in every way +is better than StarCraft 2. Not just for the LAN support that +The graphics for this game was superb when it first came out. No one still really cared too much about them yet & Square really showed them off for this game (this game was originally in production for the N64) except for the fact that you have blocks as hands! I believe the main game for the N64 wasn't completely scrapped as they were trying to make this for that system but then realized the potential of having CG clips for the PlayStation they went with that system instead. So for those wondering why the graphics look so cartoony in this one, im pretty sure thats your answer. The CG movies still look amazing for the ps1, granted that Square got better at it with FFVIII. Either way, Square is trying to get the original team from this game to pull off a grand remake (to make this game look REALLY NICE) which is still in question, however they have other games they're working on now +2824 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ah the halcyon days of the playstation 1! Still a good game and one I will always possess! +Looney Tunes Space Race +Despite this, I highly recommend this for fans of previous platforming games like Donkey Kong Country and Sonic the Hedgehog. While the series would improve, this is not a bad start. +Jet Grind Radio +2924 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the absolutely best RPG game I have or will play! Buy it on next gen console. +My advice to adults who love RPGs is to forget the quasi-medieval, sword and sorcery worlds and get into the post-apocalyptic life of sex, drugs and great big guns as soon as you can! +Many years later I was finally able to play the Panzer Dragoon games on a Saturn of my own. For many years Panzer Dragoon II (Zwei) was my favorite game of all time. And yes,I owned and beat Panzer Dragoon Saga. +6337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In a time where the Internet is being seen by several people, and consoles try to take advantage of it, and those consoles would run on CDs, the Nintendo 64 had arrived into the scene. It didn't run on CDs, but cartridges. It had no online support whatsoever. But you know what? It sold well. + +~Chainsaw-You only get this if you check, "Chainsaw Melee" and you can rip other peoples head off! +Cloud Strife is one of the most recognizable faces in video games today, in addition to wielding one of video games' most iconic weapons. He is also a snarky jerk, certifiably insane, and, in true JRPG protagonist fashion, is better than everyone else in the world at everything, including snowboarding, chocobo riding, and sustaining multiple shotgun blasts to the face. Even with a more mature perspective, I still can't help liking Cloud. He remains consistently interesting all the way up to Act 3, which is about when he loses the attitude, sorts out his mental luggage, and become another vanilla JRPG hero. The big revelation regarding his identity in Act 2 is right on par with FFVI villain Kefka and his apocalyptic hijinks as one of the most genuinely shocking twists in a video game narrative. +Duke Nukem 64.. +7361 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in the summer of 1992, when I heard about this game from Nintendo Power Magazine, I was completely ecstatic. And the patience paid off -- the Nintendo designers combined the very best elements of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World and brought it onto the Game Boy. +2567 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Bros. for the NES revolutionized video gaming, no questions asked. Accordingly, a rerelease for the Game Boy Color seemed fitting. All 32 levels from the NES classic are back, in all their pixelated glory. The music is left unchanged from the NES as well! Plus, once you beat the 32 normal levels, you get to play through them again in an expert mode with tougher enemies more common and smaller lifts. Beat those and you get 32 NEW levels, from the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (these are often called "The Lost Levels" in America.) In addition to these amazing features, there is a challenge mode where you must find a hidden Yoshi egg, 5 red coins, and get a high score. There's even a mode where you have to race to the end of a unique level against Boo! Lastly, the game contains several extras you can print out with your Game Boy Printer, which increase in number as you progress through the game. BY ALL MEANS PURCHASE THIS GAME IF YOU OWN A GBC or GBA. +6449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always been intrigued by war strategy games but never really enjoyed the ridiculous amount of micro managing involved. I also used to think that the games were too long and that after pouring 30 hours of your life into building a civilization you can get wiped out kinda sucked(OK, nothing compared to 1000s of years but...). This game is nothing like the ones I don't like. AOE2 is FANTASTIC. Games are generally no more than 3 hours, there is a little micromanagement but it's worth it. The graphics are wonderful and the sound and animation are amazing. If you are a die hard strategy fan, this may not do it for you, but as a person with a life, I love this game! +3760 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Now that I've gone back and started replaying Diablo, I realize how spoiled I've become playing Darkstone. Major improvements were made the the Diablo engine by GOD when they put this game out, and Diablo actually feels somewhat kludgy in comparison. Ability to change camera angle, the Previously Visited Places menu, that sort of thing. GOD/Take 2 did a good job with the patches, as well, not only fixing some D3D problems in the original version but adding playability as well. A fine product overall that's still got me banging away at monsters after months of single-minded playing. +2407 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best racing game since Mario kart. The vehicles are cool and you get to play cool characters and go through cool courses. This is a must have racing game. +7001 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 X-men Mutant Academy is a pretty cool 2-D fighter with with 3-D rendered characters. It plays a little bit like the Street Fighter Series but its gameplay is excellent. Each character has their own strengths and each are pretty fun to play with. Each character has a variety of Super Moves (some of which I am still trying to figure out). The characters are Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit, Phoenix, Beast, Sabretooth, Mystique, Toad, and Magneto. Although the number of characters you can use is small, its still a very fun game to play. +8924 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a classic in every way possible! It showed us what 16-bit games could and should be. The music is amazing and the game play is timeless. When they made the Wii version of Donkey Kong in modern graphics and music, this is the game they chose to imitate. You should get this classic for your collection. Along with the two sequels that it spawned. I have all three and love them all! These games blow Sonic off the map! +Gameplay- 10/10 +However, just let you know, this game does still have the 'clunky' 'tank controls' associated with RE games. However, due to the Dreamcast's analog stick, it will be slightly easier to master the steering of this game then, for instance, the Gamecube REmake. +NBA Hang Time was the very first full-length Basketball video game for the Nintendo 64, giving newcomers who had just bought the smash console a chance to really get some air. Hang Time had also created something new to the mix that makes it all seem interesting. The game is a bit similar to NBA Jam, but there was something a little different. The game also included a create a player mode, a mode where instead of speding a few quarters at the arcade, you can createyour very own basketball player, by controlling how tall you want him, how good he can block you, and even how good his aim is for the hoop. +8123 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I am a huge fan of vampire fiction in any form and also enjoy a good RPG. So I was ecstatic when I heard about Vampire being translated from the pen-and-paper sources to the computer. And Vampire is an amazing looking game that I really wanted to like. Unfortunately some bad design choices and poor features prevented it from happening. +5520 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A true classic for the N64, this game is so addicting. The use of special moves is a plus. +if want wish nicole die than select push him off because nemesis will kill him. +5515 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rampage 2 is awesome. It's more of the same from the orginal but moooore monsters. I was up all night with this game, plus theres a twist..YOU HAVE TO SAVE THE MONSTERS FROM THE ORIGINAL IN ORDER TO EARN THEM! Thats pretty friken awesome. The 3 new memebers of your team are a krab dude a ryno dude and rat name Kurtus I think. I don't remember there names because I played this game awhile ago. + +3200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not that this game is "old", but when you consider it's a game from 1999 that's exclusive to a dead console system, it's amazing to realize that this game is arguably better than any other combat game out there even today. The graphics made full use of the Dreamcast's capabilities, and even now it is one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. The combat moves are fluid and based on real martial arts...there is even a martial arts display mode where you can see all the characters doing various weapon katas! It is a good game for both button mashers and pros. There is no "blood" which makes it a bit unrealistic when you see someone getting hacked with a huge axe and not bleeding; but that doesn't detract from the experience because this isn't that sort of game. The abundance of modes allows for a high replay value. The only thing I would knock is the end-stories, which are a bit corny and considering the animation in the gamplay itself, it feels a bit like a copout to see the endings as just still life. However, that's all nitpicking. +Ultimately, Silent Hill holds up, but not as well as Silent Hill 2. It's still a classic in its genre with a great setting and levels, but if you can't get past the dated presentation, you can knock a star off of this review. +6064 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have had my playstation in almost a year now and I had the Dual shock controller ever since I got my consol. +He has played it several times and enjoys a great deal. +The graphics (at the time) were just incredible. It really made me enjoy looking at and playing the game. Nintendo really did a great job in this department. +7432 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 On the short side and easy, but it's flowing with character and cuteness. It's a nice edition to the N64 library of games. +8707 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 sonic the hedgehog is AWSOME! it saved sega from defeat at the hand's of nintendo's big, gray box. the speed, music, graphics, and gamplay are all top knoch. it's easy and hard at the same time. it's games like this that make you want to shiver with excitment about what's going to happen next as you play. +Overall, the game is one of those games that should be played by all gamers. Yeah, there are problems (the story, the somewhat dated graphics, the linear game play), but it's still an amazing play. By the way, you can download the game from the Playstation Store for both the PSP and PS3 for [...]- so do not pay these insanely high prices. + +All in all this game had awesome potential but was poorly executed. Much of this could have been avoided by having 1. more predictable and sane camera angles, and 2. a strategy guide. A lot of times I was stuck for hours and I missed some hidden place or something. With a quick cheat I would have had a lot more fun without feeling too guilty. + +2054 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a awesome game it's fun and chalaging. it's fun for the whole family + +I've heard other complaints about this game. Granted, they're not popular complaints (and only a small amount of people actually believe them). But I happen to be one of those people, and the complaint I'm speaking of is the lack of enemies throughout the planet. Many times you find yourself walking across boring empty areas, desperately searching for something to shoot. An example would be walking from the spaceship all the way to the Wrecked Ship area. On your way you only see a couple enemies around, and if you ask me there should be a LOT more. To be fair, again, this isn't a major complaint, but the more you play the game the more you notice things like this, and in the end you wish more weird-looking creatures or space pirates were around so you'd have something to shoot as you walk to the next area. I guess this is probably just me complaining about "never having enough". Well, tough. This is how I am, so you mine as well get used to it. :) +415 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well i bought it because i wanted to collect all the tekken games(i did :D) and it brings back alot of memories +3426 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Glad I could revisit my old games! +2680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it works like brand new +7629 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Besides the farily difficult to master controls, this game is a blast. You play through the game as Dash Rendar. It puts many elements of Star Wras into the game and many added bonuses such as views of worlds not shown in the movie. Many levels and a high difficulty make this game a must have for any Star Wars or gaming fan. + +I've heard too many people whine about the save feature, but I think that we, as a role-playing community, have gotten too dependant on save features. Save less, not more. +Graphics: Although you can probably debate this, this has one of the best graphics you'll find on the system. Lot of areas just drop that "wow factor", like when you first enter Zora's Domain or the game's many cutscenes. +3824 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought with Playstations Madden 99 I had the only football game I'd need for years. But when my brother got the Game Cube, Playstation 2, and XBox, he gave me his Dreamcast, and a few games along with it, NFL 2K being one of them. Turns out, this is a great game. The graphics are good and game play is as good as anything on Playstation. You can force trades to create your dream team, and while you can't play a franchise, you can save your season. The passing game is a little easy, bu it makes up by making a tougher running game. And lik most of Dream Cast's sports games, it is well done and fun. Would I pick this over Madden 99? probably not, but it is a nice addition, and the two games are fun to own together. +But other than those problems, the game is great. +covertops, unlocks covert ops missions +I recommend all RE fans to get this version. +Voices are horrible in this game...Listen to it in Japanes...It's better then the horrible English voice acting..But the music and sound make up for it..4/5 +Another way Banjo always keeps itself fresh is with the moves you can learn. In most of the levels you can find a mole named Bottles who will teach you a new move if you can find him. These moves are sometimes confined to certain spots or items you can put on, and they all work together perfectly to make the game progress logically. You have to unlock some of these abilities, such as flight and invincibility, to get deeper into Gruntilda's lair, and also to accomplish more in the worlds. The game controls very well too, even with all the added moves, and it doesn't get too complicated. One issue though is with the camera, which you can control the angle of but you still sometimes can't get the viewpoint that's just right for a room or area. +- Can be too tough or slow for some video gamers + +296 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 EDIT: This _is_ actually a 128Mb card according to my PS2. However, apparently some games aren't able to see that much space. Persona 3 FES, for example, calls it an 8Mb card. Otherwise, it appears to be a good value for the money. If your games do not have difficulty with the size, then go for it. (End of edit 28 Jan 2012) +Sure, by today's standards, the graphics are primitive and full of sprites and look a little blocky when you're up close....the enemies and items are modeled in 2D, meaning you can never look at their backside....and heck, you can't even jump....but....WHO CARES? This game is heaven, and even today, will still scare the (...) out of you....even if you memorized the location of every enemy in the game, knowing what to expect around every corner. + +I really enjoyed this game, it was fantastic. I loved the graphics for this game it was just "wow". The game is pretty short if you play only one half of the character you play as. They both have 2 parts(kina). Once you complete that characters game it opens up the second of half of the other character. The game is fairly lenghy if you play the WHOLE game. The game has some great twists that'll keep you up all night. Lemmi make it easier for you...Resident Evil 2 was one of the coolest Playstation games ever. It had an awesome story line, sweet graphics and decent dialoug. It is also spooky in the scare factor especially when you see something crawl around a window in the beggining of the game. In other words the game is awesome and scary. +4863 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I got this game for ten bucks on the bargain pile. It blows it is a boring extremely hard game. I liked the movie option, graphics and real car phisics. The story was okay not great. The controls were horrible. The missions are extremely unforgiving and hard boring. The first mission took us 3 weeks to fufill. Also your stuck in the car driving around. The missions are so hard by the time you know how to beat them its just memerizing a boring path. It's not even challenging fun. It is more like boring impossible!! Also you can't see in front of you. I'm still on the first city. On the good side you can go to a option you have called take a ride which allows you to go out and wreck havac in the city and have cops chase and then turn the car chases into movies. Also there are driving games like pursuit and Getaway, carnage, surviver and time trials ect. There fun for a while you can also turn them into movies. Also I think this has much improovement from the PS1 version by far. But still this game is horrible. The story mode is by far the most hard boring and unforgiving I've ever seen. If you want a fun wide variety driving game for the PC reserve GTA3. +Thought Super Mario World was big, didn't you? That game looks microscopic compared to Yoshi's Island. As I mention above, trying to get a 100% score in every level is a MAJOR reason the game is so much fun, because you have a reason to replay Yoshi's Island over and over. In some levels you may be left wandering around for a long time until you find all the red coins, flowers and stars. If you ask me, any one of the levels in Yoshi's Island is TWICE as long as the ones in Super Mario World, and probably three or four times bigger than the ones in Super Mario Bros. 3. Nintendo really went out of their way to bring Mario fans the biggest adventure yet, and the funny thing about the game is how it didn't receive as much attention as you'd expect when it hit stores in 1995. + + +8832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This awesome fighting game came free with the SNES my mother bought for my brother and myself many years ago. Unfortunately, she would only let us play the game once a week for one hour because of the violence. We loved the game so much, but for some reason (probably because we were tired of only being able to play once a week) we ended up selling it to our neighbor and never saw it again. However, I recently ordered it from Amazon so I can relive the thrill. +3075 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sure, the word "epic" is thrown around a lot on the back covers of games, but this game really is one. Of course, you can probably tell that from the fact that it's three discs long. From the great music to the excellent battle system to the plot with a depth rarely seen in video games to the wonderful graphics... okay, so the graphics aren't wonderful. In fact, they suck. The exception to the graphics comes in the fairly cool looking occasional movie scenes. Not being a huge RPG fan, I took the fairly direct route through the game. RPG extremists have a ton more to do, from raising chocobos to fighting that (expletive deleted) Ruby Weapon. Also, the special attacks are really cool. They range from fancy swordfighting techniques like cross-slash to a guy who turns into popular horror movie characters (a Jason imitation, complete with chainsaw, helped me defeat Safer Sephiroth) . Anyway, this is a great game that is worth more than twenty bucks, so get it. + +The environments, while not necessarily beautiful, are well done. There are a total of five islands, all with different motifs. These islands, or "ages" include: +Even the single-player mode was fun. Just not nearly as fun as the multi-player mode. + +But Donkey Kong 64 is still an amazing game. Even if you hate the repetition, you can't overlook the technological wonders Rare has instilled. The game had been one of the most stunning five years ago, as Rare was already setting themselves up as one of the experts in graphical achievements. Although each Kong look rather bland now, the game's visuals are certainly pleasing on the eyes. However, the same can't be said about the game's camera. The camera can often go crazy at times, especially during swimming moments or on Diddy's Jet Barrels. Those are times when I go on a cursing frenzy. There are other equally frustrating times. I suppose the camera had always been the death of 3D platform/adventure games. The game's music is terrific. Although people have a love/hate relationship with the infamous D.K. Rap, the rest of the game's soundtrack are lovely. Songs like the Main Menu music and Frantic Factory are catchy, while Fungi Forest can actually send a chill down your spine. And then there's the humor. Actually, some of the game's humor seems to be kind of forced, but then again, the same can be said about the humor in Banjo-Kazooie. Other parts are genuinely funny. However, as spectacular as the game is, the game's tedium and spotty camera keeps it from becoming a classic. It's too bad. Nintendo had such high hopes for this game. +Overtime +VISUALS, CHARACTERS and CHARM- +1. Tomb Raider 3 +After that's over, the REAL game begins, but unfortunately that's not true. It doesn't begin yet. Immediately a screen is shown of Alucard running to the castle (which you unfortunately have no control over). Once he's inside and the gate closes, you can now play as him, but wait a minute. There's no music playing in the background. A game can't really start if there's no music, because the absence of music makes a game feel empty and unexciting. +1926 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Few games have endured in my collection like Resident Evil 2. The graphics are old, dated, and painful in the year 2011 where Dead Island and Dead Rising 2 are the dominant Zombie games. But it looks well enough to play for days and months on end. The gameplay is clunky and clumsy, but it is a horror game designed to make you feel inadequate and somewhat unprepared for the adventure you are thrown into. The story is Sci-Fi Originals bad and in hard to understand, but that was what they were going for. +5148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game came shipped with original case, manual, and two discs. The game works perfect, but I do have to warn that the first boss of the game occurs very early and can be a bit difficult to new players. This game is one of the best games in terms of storyline and is a must-get for any player looking for a storyline with heavy depth to it. +Now, after railing on OoT for a great majority of this article, you may think I hate the game. Quite the opposite, really. It's a great game, and worthy to be in the Zelda Series. (Gee, it sounds like I'm defending Zelda II, which I've already done in a separate article). But it has been the single most hyped up game in the history of Nintendo, and it is totally out of balance. Great 3D game, but would have been better had it corrected the problems I stated above. It's a fun game, and I had a great time beating it. It provides a lot of enjoyment. But, just like Star Wars: Episode I, it just can't live up to all that hype? I wonder if any game (or movie) could actually. +The game has a good plot, good graphics and good action. In multiplayer it's even better, but the system of finding a server could have been easier and more straight-forward. Matching is done via a Microsoft website where you can find games and chatrooms and you also need to have installed Zonematch, a small program similar to MSN Messenger. In my opinion everything should be incorporated into an in-game multiplayer interface, just like the majority of other titles out there. + +9166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was a great game because it was so addicting and challenging --- yet simplistic and in the realm of its own in terms of the game world. +3606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You try to find a system out or coming out now that has internet access for multiplayer games. Yeah other systems are going to have them but dreamcast has it now! +9443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it is a cool game to play with friends and family it is easy but the mazes get harder and the goasts faster to catch +Even with codes, this game was still no fun. You need the invincibility code, but some of the codes like Monster Truck Wheels sounds like fun, but it's nothing to brag about, you just keep slipping around with no control as usual. +*RESIDENT EVIL: SURVIVOR +7418 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To put it simply. I am not hardcore into vampires, I am not a goth and most things vampiric these days are more annoying then "cool" in my opinion. So for me to say that Legacy of Kain is by far one of the greatest series of games ever made, is really saying something about the quality that this game puts out. It is an older game, so obviously the graphics are no longer going to impress. However I thought that the way the camera was set up, really set the stage for this game to succeed as greatly as it did. When it comes to the story, I am just truely amazed at the people who wrote the script to this game. It is truely an amazing story. Kain is such an interesting character, and he has many abilities. So many abilities and items and transformations in fact, that I would be willing to wager that present day games don't allow you to do as many things as Kain is able to in this old playstation 1 game. It really gives you the feel of being an amazing Vampire. The character Kain is more of an anti-hero, which is something I think is refreshing, since it isn't seen very often in video games. The game is presented very well, with the start menu where you select your armor/weapons/spells being very well drawn out. This game however shines most in the voice work. Simon Templeman (the voice of Kain) is by far the greatest voice actor ever to work in the business. He even outshines Tim Curry, and with the level of respect I have for Tim Curry, that is saying something indeed. I find that my favorite thing about this game is listening to how the conversations are worded. They present it in an old english sort of way, that really does well for the game. So in closing, if you are looking for a game that is truely amazing, and can appreciate an older game, Legacy of Kain will not disappoint. I am the type of gamer who has such a low attention span for video games, that I usually cant play a game for more then 2 hours before I quit it and never pick it up again. I have beaten Legacy of Kain Blood Omen several times, as well as all the other games in the series, and never find myself growing tired of them. They are just that well made, with the intention of the game developers clearly indicating that they wanted to make very good quality games, over just something to turn a profit. +2403 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am not much of a star wars fan but this game is fun. I found it for $3 at a used game store. It was worth it. Its actually more fun when playing multiplayer and with the steering wheel.

As soon as I got home I had to go out and buy a laptop!

He can use apples to stun his enemies while collecting food for health, diamonds for points and golden scarabs which trigger a mini game at the end of the stage where he finds one. The game has 6 stages in total, including bonus stages where you can earn more points. + +3102 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I must say, this game is great. I have written another review for this game, but i didn't feel it was completey correct. One thing was it is confusing and I cant say its for everyone, i say this because if you don't like FF and you haven't tried FF before don't start here. The game is fun,but not good graphics, and its confusing.

There are a bunch of them to take out near the end, and when you collect all the chaos emeralds, you can go through a special Doomsday Zone as Super Sonic. Plus, Knuckles has more difficult versions and some original bosses of his own to fight, so it never gets boring. +4836 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I love Sarge's Heroes, but Sarge's Heroes 2 is not my favorite. I ordered the first one in it's "original" box. What I got was Sarge's Heroes 2 in a custom aftermarket Sarge's Heroes 1 box. The first edition of this game is more valuable than the second and I paid for the first. I reported the problem and they asked me to ship it back to them, however the shipping and handling outweighs the weight of the game as a whole, so I suppose I just got the crappy end of the stick... +2640 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Some consoles like Dreamcast and N64 are really good, but hard to carry around. Ether in teh house or ont eh read this console rules! I would like it to maby be a bit smaller like the pockets, but other wise its really cool. Some of the games you play on the computer, well like Tomb Raider are good, but the controls are so confusing!

And then every game system back then got their own version of the game? Well it has been 13 years after the arcade game's release, and Nintendo was developing a new version of the game for Game Boy. At first glance you'd probably think: "Donkey Kong's already been released on several classic consoles already. So what's the point this one?" But if you look at the game itself, you'd go buy it already. +5802 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game to me was the best in the series, although many will dissagree with that.

I contacted the seller to arrange for a refund which they had no problems doing but at the last minute I remembered I had a old laptop. I tried turning the laptop on but it would not work so I inspected it further to discover that one of the pins on the power connector was bent and I was able to fix it and boot up it up running Windows XP. I installed the game on the computer and it ran with no problems. It was good to see the game again. +My only issue is that this disc doesn't play right in the PS2. The cursor is messed up and you need your old Playstation to see it as it was designed. Real Bummer. If anyone knows a fix please feel free to comment it on the bottom of this review. +So basically, I've had the card 2 weeks without any problems, dropped it many times, still works great. Many people are complaining about problems after a month or so, so if I do have problems, then you'll see a negative comment from me. As of right now, I recommend this card. +It isn't. It's a slow, boring game. +4623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A vast improvement over the original, which was also fun, but not like this. Here there is more of everything we like: a bigger map, more cities, more enemies, and more violent violence. Lengthier quests, and more NPCs that can join the fight. An even funnier storyline, with more dirty, devious, morally bankrupt adversaries to overcome. It's really fun to pretend to be a slavedriver and then murder all your coworkers with a submachine gun. It really is. And then watch all the poor slaves run away turn by turn. +All of the gameplay would most likely resemble Super Mario Kart's gameplay, but this game came out right before it. +not alot of multiplayer levels +6572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you own a PS or a PS2, you would be foolish to at least not try FF VI.

This game is very addictive, it makes you want to play just to explore some more and figure out what to do next. +MORRIGAN +4927 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I read lots of great reviews for this game that made me want to play it. It will not play on my XP. Talked to a lot of other gamers that tried to help but nothing worked. Am holding onto it in case I can get a chance to play it on another computer.

Play a race of your choosing (or making), and conquer the galaxy by vote, military might, or by being a hero (defeating the evil enemy that hates everyone). A great tech tree and good flexibility in ship design and colony building. The game has great strengths in its interface(s) and the many choices you can make during play. It does devolve into a bit of a tech fest, and there is little emphasis on diplomacy, but an all around good builder game. +So go out and get the game. Its the best in the series. +It is Hands Down The Best N64 game you can find....Get this masterpiece and play it for all it's worth....It's also a very hard game too...Well I found it hard...But over all it's one hell of a ride... + +5) Cool Japanese voices + +Resident Evil 2 introduces Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who would go on to star in future hit installments Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica (respectively speaking). Leon is a rookie cop in Raccoon City and meets up with Claire during an infestation of zombies and other monsters in the small town that is on the brink of destruction. Together, they must get out and survive while Claire is focusing on finding her brother, Chris Redfield. It's a simple plot, simple premise. The gameplay might feel stiff to those accustomed to the control scheme of games such as Resident Evil 4 and 5, but trust me: if you give it time, you will find it fun and rewarding after a short while. +Seriously, this game is so FUN! I do wish you could get money for the trees instead of paying to have them taken away. But that's a minor concession. +The most annoying problem though, by far, is the sidestepping. Though this may be a cool feature, it is also horribly abused. The computer AI seems to have an obsession with it, sidestepping constantly (I've timed it--they never go more than 2 seconds without sidestepping, even when they aren't being attacked). Now, this doesn't sound like much, but it really is a huge problem. The constant sidestepping also rotates the game's camera. This makes the computer impossible to hit with any straightforward attack because you are never properly aligned with them. Combine this with the slow recovery times, and you'll run into situations like this: You smack the enemy with the first hit in a combo which, logically, should set him up for the next hit, right? Wrong. Because of the unbalanced recovery times, he'll recover before your second swing ever comes out, and he'll sidestep, then stand there watching as you go off swinging at the air in some odd direction. Then he'll automatically turn to face you and hit you in the back of the head (since your character takes forever to re-align himself properly when he isn't facing the opponent--another design flaw). The constant camera rotation (or, swirling, to be more precise) makes you lose all orientation on the playing field. Add to this archaic features such as "Ring Out" (which should have gone out in the Jurassic period of fighting games), and you have an unplayable, nerve-wracking mess. Basically, you will lose many matches from being smacked in the back of the head as the computer rotated the camera on you, or by cheap Ring Outs because you couldn't see where you were on the battlefield (again, because the computer rotated the camera on you). +this really is a lot of fun for everyone. would totally recommend getting this if someone has an interest in music (singing)... +5154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game! only downfall is the extremely long cut scenes kinda felt like I was watching a movie...but overall awesome game. +Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are your two main playable characters accompanied by Barry Burton, Albert Wesker, Rebecca Chambers, Brad Vickers, Enrico Morini, Edward Dewey, Forest Spyer, Richard Aiken, Joseph Frost, and Kenneth Sullivan most of which will end up dead before the end of the game, which isn't revealing much as most people know about this game. One of the main points of the story is the isolation and being alone searching for your fellow teammembers. If there's 12 of them in all and the main idea of the game is isolation and terror you better believe you'll find some dead teammembers along the way. The story is pretty much known around the world. STARS Alpha team has been sent to investigate STARS Bravo team's dissapearence in the woods near a mansion that belongs to Umbrella. The T-Virus (Tyrant) has been let loose and killed the employees turning them into zombies, and unleashing other creatures (Hunters AH!). The game itself really isn't that long, once you learn the puzzle solutions you could breeze through it in a few hours (for which you may be rewarded). The Arrange mode on this Director's Cut version features different uniforms for Jill and Chris and some different camera angles and puzzle solutions. Items will be switched around to different locations as well. The overall "scare" factor of this game is pretty nil, but you might jump at a few spots. The graphics are dated, sure, but they're basic and likeable. You can tell what's going on and still see extra details (unlike the remake where the entire game is a pile of details upon the next pile). One of the most famous aspects of this game is the voice acting and FMV sequences with actual actors (if you even want to call them that). The in game voice acting, when you actually find a fellow STARS member alive, is pretty terrible. I'd like to track these people down and see if they haven't been murdered because of it. The FMV sequences are pretty classic also, the opening is the same for eather game and the endings are different depending on who you save during your adventure as Chris or Jill. FINAL NOTE: I highly recommend this game (the Director's Cut version since it has 4 games total) even if it is extremely old to anyone! The "explicit scenes of blah blah) at the beginning of the load don't really make a difference as it's all squares anyway, but this game is actually REALLY fun to play through. I think anyone who has moderate video gaming experience should play this. You might have to get used to the controls, but they don't really bother me. + +8771 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great deal & hours of fun +Not one of these former owners ever even had a clue that in addition to the "normal" version and the "hard" version, there is a Super Hard Version.

There are helps on the Internet, but these people make assumptions that all gamers talk to each other and therefore + +- Missions aren't involving, and the story doesn't continue from the original game. In short, there's really not much of a story, as you'll find yourself doing strange things that you've been ordered to do for no apparent reason +4984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Where resident Evil is a bad 4ss horror movie Silent hill is a Nightmare!!!! When it comes to survival horror there are two titles that always come to mind resident evil and Silent Hill. Silent hill is a Hazy nightmare mystery that plunges you into the darkest realms of sanity. There are so many cool and gruesome aspects to this game it's crazy to break down, bit I'll get into a few of them. The atmospherics and sound track to this game is absolutely brilliant, taking it's cues from resident evil 2 and warping it to the tenth degree it will get you in the zone. The massive fog and impossible maze of streets will leave you dizzy and disoriented, just adding to the nightmarish vibe. And to let you know evil is afoot you are armed with a radio that goes haywire upon the entrance of any demonic entity that decides to stroll your way. This game is really one of a kind, Right up there with resident Evil in classic status but i must admit it is a far more freaky experience!!!!! +1823 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember when I first got this game with a Playstation console in early 1998. It was a great phenomenon then, because the Crash Bandicoot series was able to bring some new life to the platforming genre of gaming with its 2D and 3D interchangeable levels. +4340 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is a bad product, no function withs the LOGITEC EXTREME 3D PRO, I do not have money tu burn. + +Pros +For kids who's parents don't like them getting violent games, probably don't want this because of how discusting it is to kill one of the people running on the ground. It reminds me of Half-life. + Beating the game in under three and a half hours with no saves, and no using of health sprays will net you an infinite rocket launcher in your chest the next time you play the game. This was a hard feat to manage, but by around my sixth time through the game, I finally did it. It gave me almost a good a feeling as the first time I beat the game for the first time. So, I hope you have half as much fun playing it as I did, I think you'll enjoy it. +final dungeon was rushed +8801 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey Kong has been kidnapped by K. Rool again. However, Diddy Kong is left behind, but is he alone in this quest? Nope, with the help from Dixie Kong, both Kongs are off to save Donkey Kong and beat K. Rool again! +4652 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is very different from any other Play Station game. But that doesn't mean it is dumb. When I first played it, it was hard. But when you really get into it. You will be stuck on that game. It's very addicting. I recommend this game to anyone who likes a great adventure. +3159 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played Final Fantasy 9, and although I liked the game overall--I also gave it 5 stars--I like Final Fantasy 7 much, much better. From the moment you pop the first CD in, you are nothing but impressed. I wish all games started out the way this one does--with a BANG! You are Cloud, a selfish newcomer to a resistance group known as AVALANCHE. You don't care about the planet. No way. As soon as this job is done, you want to get your cut and split. The dialogue is truly something else. And the storyline, WOW! The whole idea of a city on a "plate" was really original and appealing. Great movie-sequences. I could go on and on praising this game. Even after playing Final Fantasy 9 I can't help but go back and play this great game. Yeah, it is more science fiction than fantasy, but it is science fiction done RIGHT. Although the game is only three CD's long, the game lasts anywhere from 40 to 80 hours. In the first CD, you spend 6 hours in the huge city of Midgar alone. Then you go on for another 10 hours or so, before going to disc 2. This game has great music, especially the ending boss music. That song is called "One-Winged Angel". By the way, Sephiroth is pronounced, "Sea-fee-roth". At least that's how they pronounce it in the song. Speaking of Sephiroth, he's really cool. Definitely the best villian I've ever seen. Overall, this is either the first or second best RPG I've ever played. First place might go to Final Fantasy 6. Sure, the graphics are way outdated on that game, but the storyline more than made up for it. Anyway, buy Final Fantasy 7 RIGHT NOW. +3158 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first Final Fantasy on a system is always the best, as it seems to bring out the best in Square's developers. Final Fantasy VII is no different, with the perfect amount of Playstation flair to compliment, not overtake the strong story and game system that are the series' hallmarks. +8260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game starts off the legendary X series and man oh man is it ever fun to meet everyone for the first time. This is like classic action but capcom but it in an interesting way. For example they have powerup capsules. +3573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What do I look for in a car game? Speed, room for error, exhilaration and cars - lots of them. There have been many great Driving games this year but the one that really does put you back in your seat is NFS RC. The tracks and cars are radiant and the different modes of play give enough lasting appeal. Career mode and car damage are improvements over NFS3 but there could have been more tracks buts thats being picky. Want a laugh? Midtown madness. Want Rally? Colin Mcrae. Want Touring? Toca 2. If ever you need to get in your Ferrari on a Sunday afternoon and go 200Mph down a county lane you won't find a better sim then this. Adrenalin rush for the fastest drive of your life. +4935 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Finally Sanitarium has been re-released in a jewel case packaging ..., I could get it after so many years of looking. Beware, it does not run on XP, but it runs very well on 98/Me. The story is very intriguing and captivating. Puzzles are fairly simple, the interface is excellent with graphics and sound effects perfect. This game is a real gem, worth every penny. + + +If you liked this game Check out DKC & DKC 2 +You play as Alucard, half-human son of Dracula. As a plot twist, it seems that Richter Belmont, decendent of Legendary Vampire Hunter Simon Belmont, has called the evil Castlevania back from the depths of oblivion, and summoned forth the evil Dracula. With the help of the mysterious adventurer Maria, you must guide Alucard through the huge maze of Castlevania, to determine if Richter is indeed behind the evil plot. +9783 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has been a go-to since i first got it in 1998...I am a huge Resident evil fan and everything just gels with this release...The story is top notch, The game play is classic,the enemies are killer and the score is right up there with silent hill. I'm not going to go into what goes on in this game, I'd rather it unfold for you in game play so you can have as amazing an experience as i did all those years ago. But if you are a survival horror Fan as I am and haven't given this a go...You owe it to yourself to do so. +-Fantastic storyline +9620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First thing I have to say is Everyone who mentions Half Life in a review is a moron. I admit that game is good but if you like it so much what are you doing playing a new game. Sorry if this offends you but this game is not supposed to be Half Life. Thank you. + +It doesn't matter if it's Smackdown, Smackdown 2, WWE Raw for the Xbox, WWE Wrestlemania for the Gamecube, etc. Those games are all the same- a lousy attempt to impress gaming and wrestling fans with realism. I'm all for realism, but it DOES NOT MATTER in a wrestling game. A wrestling game is like any other video game in that it SHOULD be all about having fun with it. And I can't have fun with a wrestling game released today that, more or less, is exactly the same as a wrestling game from 10 years ago. It makes me sick to think 10 years later, hardly anything has changed in the world of wrestling video games. + +F355 Challenge +The graphics, by today's standards, are outdated +Game play- This is the part that could be helped by a remake.

This was by far the one of the most fun, I loved how the enemy soldiers were programmed to respond to noises and attacks, very realistic. No matter how many times we played a level trying to get off, it never got dull because the enemies didn,t respond always the same. It was very fun making mistakes,like accidentally throwing grenades at my partner or setting explosives to close and for getting to tell my partner. The only disapointment was not enough levels, but for the price this game was well worth it. +-Robotnick..ehehheh + + +But then I don't remember many mac users in the 90s playing Starcraft.

Meteorite Cavern +Now the scenarios...Yes, unlike many expansion this does very well in delivering MANY more scenarios that will keep you posted to your screen for hours on end, you definitely get your moneys worth here. However, where as the original scenarios were a tad easy, the expansion scenarios are a bit hard at times. You are so rushed on meeting requirements at times, you don't have the time to truly design the ride you wanted to make, but rather forced to using the pre-built coasters in any available space you can find. This detracts from the main function of the game...the chance to build and experiment your own steel monsters. +4156 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Designing the next Alton Towers would be most people's dream and now you can! This game is easy to pick up and it is perfect! +I give Wave Race my recommendation. +1629 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been searching for this game far and wide and now I have finally acquired it. It's a pretty awesome game with a lot of action and you must use a lot of stealth. +1040 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember I was 6, and I had just gotten a Nintendo 64. At such a young age most of the games out were too complicated for me and I had to find something I could understand. Enter Mario Kart 64. This game is pure and simple, you pick a character and race with seven other famous Nintendo stars in 16 detailed (for N64, anyway) stages. This was one of the N64's first games, so for me it turned the system into a classic which I still play today. +Trinity + +5200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The cons for this game under description products stating that : Puzzles can be frustrating and that torture scene too intense for younger gamers. To me this was stupid. Most of the easy games can be boring. This game gets you be involved in the story and it's very easy too follow if you are a serious gamer. Also, mature games are supposed to be harder than kid's games. The puzzles are not that frustrating if you can think maturely (even kids can pass this game with any problem). About "Torture scene too intense for younger gamers", I think there is a reason why they labeled this game Mature. Mature games are not for kids. This game is one of the best I've ever played. Great Story, Great Collection. +"Altered Beast" came with the Genesis I bought and it's a blast. +Dig in and enjoy. +3455 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As I have mentioned before in my past reviews, I did not and will not buy Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3 for Gamecube, I just don't feel like they gave the fans what they could have given them. In the fact that Resident Evil Remake, for Gamecube, is far better than the original Resident Evil on PSX 1. +I played this on my P4 (2Ghz) XP machine without any hick-ups. I haven't tried multi-player yet, but managed to get by without downloading the 20mb patch (which I eventually installed for the heck of it the only difference Ive noticed is that Seven is actually voiced by Jeri Ryan). EF isn't as finicky about your choice of accelerator cards, accepting my S3 Savage4 card. In short, a great Trek game, and one not to be missed before Elite Force 2. +7/10 Replayability +The CONS: The only thing that I could say here is that this was one of the last batch of Super Nintendo games that was released as the Sony Playstation was making huge waves and the world was waiting for the Nintendo 64, Nintendo's next console, to be released. It's not a knock on the game itself at all but it was just the timing of its release that makes it unique. +the only three ways that I would like to see it improved would be +24 missions for a total of 54 missions! Not too bad for any game and the expansion is clearly one of the best there ever has been. The cutscenes add to the story and a pretty good graphically and great musically. A total joy to play. The only downside to the game is playing against another live person. I played this game against a friend of mine at least 12 times and we had 11 ties and I won once. The crystals and Vespene gas run out before a winner could be decided. Other than that, this is an awesome game, even today and with this package deal this is an excellent buy. Happy gaming. +1958 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The very first videogame I played. Works and everything on the n64. +-While the SNES probably had better graphics, color palettes, and scaling effects, I still have yet to see a SNES game with as smooth of the gameplay framerate as any Genesis Sonic title (I'm talking about normal in-game play that's NOT a special FX chip or anything like that). + +- Silent Hill +While it took me several times to go through the game (and beat it) which for some people who don't understand the story will have to play it through a few times. The thing that people get most confused on is the materia setup. While it was easy for me to grasp some people were like 'huh!?!?' It's like trying to teach a cat how to drive. I thought this concept was easier then some of the FF games that came out after this one. But yet again, easy for some, hard for others. +-Environment +Seriously, that was a pretty scary moment. Anyway, the graphics are exceptional for the N64 but playstation are better. The music/sound effects are better on the playstation but are acceptable on the N64. There are two people you can pick and two difficulty settings. Pretty nifty. There is a violence setting where you can have it high, medium or low. Kids under 10, I suggest low. High is pretty bad when you die. Medium is average. +This controller is great for RPGs, like Skies of Arcadia, fighter games like Soul Calibur, and platform games like Sonic Adventure. But don't buy Hidden and Dangerous, or Rainbow Six, or even Quake III Arena, because after playing FPS's on XBOX and PS2, shooter games on Dreamcast are really a step down. +It's a simple beat em up with the Power Rangers and two player co-op. +The maps of the levels are truly vast as well which makes the game much more challenging and interesting, and the fact that many are outdoors, (desert, jungle, highlands, woods, temple ruins, and finally hell) as opposed to spending the entire game in one long dungeon. +Street Fighter Alpha 3 is (in my opinion) the best Street Fighter game available (including the recently-released SF2 HD Remix). The gameplay is a blend of the slow-paced and strategic Street Fighter 2 and the more varied and frenetic Alpha series. Air combos, alpha counters, and flashy finishing moves combine with superior character balancing and deep fighting strategy. +The game tries to follow the movie's storyline by telling it in between certain levels. After waiting for the first part of the story to end, you will end up shooting everything in sight! There are robots coming from both sides of the screen, and enemy planes flying in the sky. Kill them all!! That sums up the whole game pretty much, but the awesome action would obviously keep you playing. +8592 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It seemed as though everywhere I went, people recommended using the 3D controller (especially for FPS) because of how much easier and more accurate it was. This, being due to the analog stick. +Activision has identified a manufacturing problem with regards to its Dreamcast title Blue Stinger. The manufacturing issue involves only a limited percentage of the total product available in stores, but will result in start-up failure on certain Dreamcast systems. + The original three button control was awful and I am glad they made this one because this is the opposite,it's great. The Sega Genesis is almost perfect,in my opinion the Sega Saturn and Playstation control is perfect and have a great grip and nice button layout. Anyways,the Genesis 6 button control is ideal for fighting,platform,and everything else you can play with. The controls are reliable and cheap,so if you have a Sega Genesis you must get this control. +I remember Tomba! back when I was a kid. That was a really great game then. It even is for today but of course shows it's flaws more now. The story of Tomba! is about pigs...evil pigs. You are a caveman looking dude with pink hair who naps under a tree one day and an evil pig comes and swipes your bracelet your grandfather gave you. You try to recover it but you wind up doing more than just that. +7724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best game ever. Nintendo had a hit with this one. Trying to find all the Easter (yoshi) eggs in this game was the best part. +2131 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Games that are enhanced but not required to play with expansion pak are: + +9326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember playing the demo for this when I first got my Sega Saturn at 14. It was amazing. The music was also spectacular (I could listen to it by popping the disc into my CD player; even in 2012 it still works). I finally played the full game much later. It's challenging, but the visuals are magnificent. This isn't just nostalgia talking; this is a great, imaginative game. +The story, itself(as you probably already know by playing it), is about Cloud Strife. Cloud is a mercenary who joins with a group of others(Avalanche) to stop a megacorporation callled Shinra. Shinra is draining the life of the planet to use as an energy source. Course, the story progresses and deepens when Sephiroth(the game's main antagonist) comes into play. Sephiroth's part in this story?...if the world is damaged, its' Lifestream will gather together in an attempt to heal the wound. Sephiroth plans to use a powerful spell called "Meteor" to cause this injury, and then merge with the planet's energy, allowing him to be reborn as a god. Then, he plans to rule over the planet. +1408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games of its time, and is still considered by many to be one of the best games ever made. I highly recommed this game. +The soundtrack of the game is the best by Misami Ueda and others. It will give you the chills at the right moments. While navigating the empty streets of RC the soundtrack also gives you that feeling of solitude and that at any moment something can come up jumping at you from every corner or any hole in the ground. My personal favorite is the song at the fianal battle with the Nemesis, which by the way is SOOOO EPPICCCC!!!! ( I have it on my phone... :)..the name of the song is called "Nemesis Final Metamorphosis") + +I would buy this for the challenge it possess, guarennteed addiction. +2944 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good +3296 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not as good as the original PS1 version, but still a quality port. +4282 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft has caught me into the craze ever since its debut in 98...This game is simply amazing. It is the type of RTS that is "hard and fast," you build, build, build, fight, fight, fight, and either win or lose, sometimes having the chance to revive if you lost the first battle. It is different from other great RTS like AOE2 because the latter is more fun when you build a great army w/ diverse units and attack tactically, while Starcraft is more like building a giant swarm and either going straight thru or catching the opponent by surprise...(what I mean is: while AOE2 resembles real combat more, Starcraft is idealistic but fun). + +This is an excerpt from the highly-acclaimed Shakespeare, with a modern twist of steampunk and grit. Grunge-esque. +This is where the intense fun comes on. You and your friends button smash, spin the analog stick to your hearts content. As a matter of fact, so much button smashing (fast taps on the buttons)takes place that gloves came out for this game to protect your hand. Be warned, if you're too competitive with this particular Mario Party, you may wind up with a blistered palm or sore fingers. +Protoss:Dark Templar:The Dark templar are indeed powerfull units. They move swiftly and attack vicously and with extreme speed and on top of that they are permenately cloaked. Though they don't have the spells that Templar have they are very powerfull units, however they can, like the templar, join together to become a Dark Archon. +If you liked it (you will!) try playing these other games of the same flavor: The Sim City series, by Maxis, that started the entire genre. There's the other sim games, as well, such as Sim Farm. Sid Meyer games can sometimes be very similar to Chris Sawer, but also very different. Give them a try. And of course, Chris Sawer's other work: Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, Transport Tycoon, Locomotion, and others. I can't recommend RCT 3, however: It was made by a large team (against his philosophy) of designers and licensed to an outside corporation, and Chris Sawer was mostly symbolically involved. It lacks the pluck, humor, and addictive game play, and frankly, I wouldn't pay too much for it. +2435 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the greatest video games ever certainly top 5 for n64. This game arrived on time in great shape. It was very thoroughly padded in its shipping envelope. Fair price, top quality. +This is a good game to have! + +3650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well, I don't own this game (or a Playstation) but I played it today for 3 hours at my friend's house (I got blisters on my hands from playing so much). +6510 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great series +everything, while outdated in looks, is so realistic. which is maybe why i liked this title so much. that, and the characters are freaking amazing. Solid Snake is my hero, and i wish he were a real person so i could meet him and get a picture of him a cardboard box. this is another reason why i like the game and the rest of the series, the humor. while funny, most of it still has a point. sure, it's funny to see a guy sneaking around under a box, but it's also very stealthy and strategic. as long as you don't move while the enemy is watching, you're good to go. using the box is like an ongoing game of red light green light. except in this game you can pop out and break the guy's neck. also, knocking on walls is sometimes funny, but all the time useful. knock on a wall to lure an enemy into a mine you secretly placed near a truck. there are countless ways to enjoy dispatching your enemies, even without the use of weapons. leading them around circles with your footprints in the snow is also humorous. +I got my unit in March 2000, and it is still running great. Unreal Tournament is the only game to give me trouble. (After exchanging the disc already, I just contacted Infogrames' support just before writing this review.) Version 3.0 of the web browser also seems unstable. If you can find it, I'd recommend Version 2.6 which was included with The Official Dreamcast Magazine. Version 2.0 was also included with a few issues. The keyboard and mouse (with a scroll wheel) are also nice additions if you plan to do any web browsing with the Dreamcast. Without them, you use the game controller as a pointing device and use an onscreen keyboard to type. Although it might have trouble with some Java sites, it works well as an inexpensive system you can travel with to check email. It supports any POP3 email account. As for web based email, it just depends on how the site is programmed. I haven't tried the web based accounts on it recently so I can't make a reliable comment on that. The Dreamcast should have some version of the browser included even if it's not the latest. I doubt it ships with 3.0. +6293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am in love with this N64, I had lost mine a long time ago, and to be able to buy one and play it again made me so very happy! +Overall, it's a great game, and I urge you to buy it even if you already own MvC part 2. I own both games and love them equally. +1369 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 one of the greatest games for N64. +498 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like I've said before, Tomb Raider will always stand as one of the most influential games of all time. Back in 1996, the only competition in this genre was Mario 64. Nowadays, every other game is a 3d adventure "in the vain of Tomb Raider". +There are secret codes that make the game a lot more fun. You enter these codes on the options menu. There are codes for rapid fire, all secret cars, and all secret levels. These codes can be found on most game websites for free. + +569 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it, Thanks +aside from the few snafus, yes, it was fun to play. the health and hev dispenser are somewhat unrealistic. i mean, getting health from a dispenser ? only in a game. but it was fun. +9840 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game in the summer of 2006 after my hopes were dashed when Nintendo failed to announce the development of a rumored Kid Icarus Wii game. Taken in the context of what it is, a game for the old pea-soup GameBoy, this game was surprisingly well done. + +there are many different playable characters to choose from. This means that you + +However, the Gamecube version basically topped this game in every aspect possible. F-Zero was a franchise where the sequels consistently made their predecessors look hopelessly outdated, and the same applies here. F-Zero X sacrifices graphic detail for speed. F-Zero GX sacrificed neither. So if you've been playing the newer versions, there's no point going back to this one. +Daytona USA +Sonic The Hedgehog is in my opinion the greatest video game series of all time. Mario and Crash Bandicoot may offer competition in this field but Sonic The Hedgehog came first for me. +1616 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This brought back so many memories. The godfather of all games. This is a must have for any avid game collector. +Banjo is a bear with Kazooie a bird in his backpack that can help him jump and fly and basically you learn to do lots of things with it. You solve puzzles via action and collect tolkens across lovely maps. Mumbo Jumbo transforms Banjo into some other creatures along the way. You can fly. It was amazing. A full adventure all the way to end. We played it for months and I have NEVER played anything like it again. The makers of Donkey Kong released it at the best time. It is now up to the future generations to make adventure concepts better than this one. This is one of the best N64 games ever. +It's a blast to customize the mechs with whatever weapons you find, and even better to salvage enemy mechs, which always have a slight advantage in firepower and speed. There's nothing quite like mousing over a storage bin and seeing the context-sensitive cursor change into a pair of pliers (or whatever they are, indicating that there's something to get in there). +The game is great for young kids to adults. If you love playing games and want something with a fun adventure, antics, great Bonus Levels, and characters this is the series for you. +-The idea for the "power/animal" bosses is alot more clever and original than the repetitive "power/man" type bosses used in the older games. For instance, Storm Eagle sounds quite a bit more threatening than say, ... Bright Man. +8627 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 LOVED IT +302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome product +I can't explain it, but this was my first gameboy. While it may be SEVERLY outdated, it's the system that really helped the Gameboy line last almost a decade alone without a new release (well this was released, im talking aout this and the original Gameboy). With it's affordable price of only fifty bucks, it shows how Nintendo is so damn good at making portable gaming systems. With that price, along with the huge game library, I can't help but think why Sega even bothered. The Nomad and Game Gear were fine, but it showed that they should not have even tried. +7771 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 16 years after this game came out, it is still as fun now as it was then. Fantastic game!! I love that it contains Rare characters as well. +The most innovative feature in this game is that there are different scenarios in this game. Say you play as Leon and complete the game as him; well you can then play as Claire in that same scenario to find out the true ending. And you cant play Claires second scenario by popping in the second disc for the first time to play as her, you have to unlock it first. So in total, there are four possible scenarios in this game. + +2141 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased a used N64 from a pretty well known retro game store online that came with an aftermarket expansion. To my dismay it would load games, but freeze up after 5-20 seconds of play. I was hoping it wasn't the console itself, so after reading some troubleshooting tips I ordered one of the official Nintendo expansion packs since the console didn't come with the original jumper pack. Plugged this in and it worked like a charm. I ordered a 2nd one in the event the RAM goes bad down the road as these original expansion packs are starting to become scarce. + + +Great game, you can make it rather easy, or extremely challenging; a great option to the game. Highly recommended to anybody who likes side scrollers/ or anybody who just wants a great game with re-playability. True classic. +The graphics in this game are immense, very brightly colored and textured to the best of their abilities. As I played through this as a child, I thought I was at the locations from the movie. Now playing them as a twenty one year old, I must say I am almost just as impressed. For being on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the graphics are very well laid out. Colorful and vibrant, with just as many textures as they could cram in back then. Truly a visual spectacular worthy of a Star Wars title. +The sounds in this game are mysterious and enchanting. The soundtrack consists of strange, sometimes haunting tunes that blend in remarkably well with each respective area. Moreover, the sounds are integral to the gameplay, for some of the puzzles involve listening in addition to seeing. You will need to observe and interpret different sounds and apply that information to the challenges you face. This is yet another way in which you can truly become immersed within the game. The music makes your surroundings feel foreign and believable. +And, even though it sounds like it's bad, these aren't horrendous, the Cons!... +6575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VI was a milestone in the RPG world. At the time of it's release the graphics were supurb and used all the resources the Super Nintendo had to offer. Chracter developement was outstanding and the story was excellent. Final Fantasy VI definately lives up to it's name as the best Final Fantasy game. There are people who dislike this game mainly because of its graphics. Many gamers were introduced to the Final Fantasy series through Final Fantasy VII. I can't blame them if they can't follow dialogue or customize weapons, items, and armor and have the attention span to remember what they are doing and where they are going. + +8939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You quitly step out of your spaceship onto the sandy, damp ground of an unexplored planet. Suddenly, a giant flash of lightning appears as it starts to rain heavily. You nervously look behind you. Nothing there. In a hurry to get away from the rain, you run under a near cave. After going through an old, broken door another lighting flashes and an intemidating roar of thunder follows. You slowly continue to walk through the abondoned, lifeless cave. A slight glisting of metal appears as you approach a peice of torn machinary. Traveling depper, you find the entrence to an old advanced shelter of somekind. After exploring somemore, you return to this enterence spot. A flash of lighting lights up the place again and you find a giant insect mantis like creature staring right at you. In a hurry you fire your beam at it and destroy it. An ear-wrentching cry echoes the halls as you see there are tons more of them, crawling on the walls jumping down from the ceilings, surrounding you. In a hurry, you attack them one by one and run to the cave enterence of the place. Suddenly, it lights up with life. Giant crab like insects start crawling down the walls, trilobites flee as the abondoned bunker becomes housed again, lights flicker on and off and motion is constantly seen throught this once desolate and quiet place. Only not one human or freindly creature is moving. Thats basically the opening sequence of Super Metroid. Constantly through this game will be intense and sometimes freighting moments of suspence. There is also always very satisfying action to follow. You play as Samus Aran, who has really cool sumersaulting jumping techniques. Also, she can shoot something right at a pin of a target while sumersaulting through the air ten yards away. Shes a really cool character with a really cool suit and a really cool arsenal of firepower to go with it all. Plus, a really cool game. Most of the game will be taken up exploring places, finding new abilitys/weapons in those places, and using those abilitys to gain acces to and explore other places. Most of these enviroments are dark, suspensefull, and gloomy like the one described above. The game also features some inovative enemys that can be destroyed challengly and satisfyingly no matter how you fight them. It has some really great graphics, too. But, the one con, and its a big one to, is that after watching the opening cutscenes, theres almost no story left. You'll alot of times be wondering if you're supposed to be in an area or not supposed to be there, with no real knowlege of where to go or what to do next. Just little hints like you've accomplished a big task in an area and feel that the next big task is in another big area. Other than that, this game is a really great classic and should be played by all at least once. It really almost plays identically to Metroid: Fusion, so a learning curve would be very small since alot of people have probably played fusion by now. +Graphics state-of-the-art for its time +Why would I say that then? Nostalgia, I guess. To me, it's what Tetris is supposed to look like. This is the first title available for the GameBoy, but could the graphics have really been any better? The blocks are very detailed and have a great style to them. The entire game looks great on the original GameBoy's green screen. It's a style that you won't find available in any game today, and looking at it with modern eyes, the game comes across as very unique. +If you liked this game check out all of the other star wars games. +What's really impressive is that this whole game is very consistent. The music is also exceptional. The music is better than most movie soundtracks, in my opinion. All of it perfectly accompanies what is happening in the game. So much happens in this game; it has a lot of cinematic scenes too, which really develop the story, which is an excellent tale of good versus evil. +2436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great! +The skizy: you are a member of the Army Special Forces, sent in to stop a terrorist who has stolen nuclear weapons and who plans to use them in a few special locations. However, the bad dude who leads the terrorists doesn't plan to be taken down easily. So your job is to follow him and take him down along with his compatriots and recover the nukes. +The Good +3865 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Golfing Is Nice And Smooth In This Game And Also There Is Lots Of Playable Characters. The Golf Courses Look Very Good And Just About Everything In The Game Has Nice Things To Offer. Any N64 Owner Should Defintely Check This Game Out +6- Nameless One (you): It is the only reason enough to play this game. An amnesiac immortal, in search of his past and his mortality. As you learn more about him and how he caused the things that others called fate, it becomes harder to quit playing. Suggestion to hardcore gamers: If you want to get much more pleasure from the game, before playing it read something about planescape universe, bloodwar, sigil and lady of pain. You will catch some small details about nameless one's past and understand much better what happens to him at the end of the game (many people don't understand the purpose of the ending demo) and will have increadibly more enjoyable playing time than an average gamer has. +2138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works as advertised, no problems after 2 months of use. +7335 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is very fun! The only thing bad about the game is that it may start out easy but it gets VERY HARD. Three people can save this game at one time. ( Better than most games. ) It also has no passwords! Good! I hate writing passwords down. There are more than 20 levels of fun. ( I only know some because I didn't complete the game. I am 25% out of 100. ) The levels are underwater, Halloween, Legos, and more. Some enemies are saws, turtles, ghosts, witches, divers, and pigs. There is even different music when you go different places! +Aside from the ending credits song that grates on my nerves ("I am the Wind"), I find absolutely nothing wrong with the game. If you do find something wrong, consult your physician. +3298 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 I must say even to this day this game holds very strong to fans out there. And as much as I love the N64 system I will say the best Sound audio and the graphics quality are inferior compared to the PlayStation version despite that the fact that it's crappy on Graphics in audio I will say there are a little extra things they have made to this game also changes for example the combination lock is a different digit number and also you will find a couple extra diary files that were not in the PlayStation version and because of those changes I decided to actually pick this game up because I love Resident Evil 2 as well and it happens to be one of my favorites equals out of the franchise. + +1213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off I've only owned two Crash Games. The first Crash Bandicoot and Wrath of Cortex for the PS1. I played a demo for Warped on my Spyro the dragon game and wanted it ever since. I bought it on Amazon and its safe for me to say that...THIS IS THE CRASH I KNOW AND LOVE!^_^ +Yes it is hard to drive but you will learn. + +The first time round, I'd seen this games flaws. It DOES have a difficult to master interface. Its missions are VERY difficult to play - especially those set in the Garden of Kadesh nebula (missions 7 - 9). The big difference is that there are many sure-fire strategies posted on the internet that can assist you in getting past the more difficult missions. +Kill them or be kill by: +GOLD WAR MACHINE +6272 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Planescape: Torment is one of the best Role-Playing games ever written. The writing talent and imagination that went into the game are impressive, equalled by no other game I've played with the possible exception of the classic masterpiece Star Control 2. The Planescape universe is one of the most compelling and interesting I've seen, and the game's playable characters are all distinct, well-developed, sympathetic, and memorable. The game begins with the protagonist, the Nameless One, waking up on a cold stone slab in a mortuary, his memory gone and his body covered in scars and tattoos, his senses assaulted by the smell of formaldehyde and rotting flesh coming from the nearby corpses and the zombies that are working on them. This is a dark beginning, and the game remains dark throughout, which is unappealing to some and is probably responsible for this game's relatively poor sales compared to inferior but lighter games such as Baldur's Gate. (While Torment is a dark game, it does not require you to be evil or immoral--the darkness comes from the game's exploration of tragedy. One of its central questions is "what can change the nature of a man?" Its mood is similar, but not the same as, that of the Fallout games.) The equation is simple--if you're a lover of fiction who is not turned off by darkness, you will almost certainly love Planescape: Torment. +4306 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Homeworld when it was first released, in 1999. When I first played the game, my reaction was the same as that of many others who have posted their reviews - the interface was difficult to master, the missions were too difficult. Eventually, I gave up and put Homeworld back onto the shelf. It's now 2001, and Homeworld has built up a huge following on the internet. So I re-installed the game on my computer...and got a major surprise. +5936 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The original "Diablo" came along at a time when the CRPG market was in dire straits. The game breathed fresh life into the genre and created an unparalleled accessibility that made it very easy to pick up play. Using the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" formula, the sequel follows along the lines of the original, and expands it into a bigger and better game. +387 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I think after buying this, my wallet is Forsaken... I am Mistaken that this game is what I bought, it came in a box called Forsaken, I played this game about 3 times before giving it up cause I couldn't control the characters or understand the plot line. I know that I have skills... but this game made me look stupid. Cut your losses and buy something else like Quake II... now that rocks. +528 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game lacked the ability to live up to name "Tomb Raider" its more of a "City Raider" half the levels deal with city-time scenery. and 80% of the enemies are humans. more like a 007 than a Tomb Raider - but the game play is fun in the cities (Venice) so i cant complain too much - just wasn't feelin the whole China scene. I liked to level skip those. and the twist at the end was a lil boost - so all in all ill give it 5stars - but it lacked challenge for me - i beat it in a week. just run around and jump for the most part. +1609 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Twisted Metal 2 for the original PlayStation was easily one of the best games for that system and one of the best video games ever made. The replay value is so incredibly high it never seems to get old. The graphics maybe out dated but the play control is excellent. The music is very good and the stages are excellent each with its own unique features. Once you learn the freeze sequence you can tee off on the competition. The game is great as a single player and even more fun with multiple people. The intro and endings are fantastic very well done. TM2 improves on the first game in every way. +5587 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a Shakespearian-esque RPG. The gameplay was a lot different from the others in the series, but there were a lot of things to like about the changes they did to magic & summons. Game has a great (if somewhat confusing) storyline, great graphics, and mostly interesting/intriguing characters. If you want a game to take you on an adventure (or 15), this is the game for you. +are supposed to rescue you, but you find out that they just +Once you peel away the South Park appeal, there is very little left to stand on its own. I endured playing this for maybe 20 minutes before shutting it off out of extreme boredom. I can see why nobody ever talks about this game. Let's leave it that way. + +Overall, a CLASSIC game that every strategy game enthusiast needs to play or own at one stage. +I looked up reviews for this game and I was surprised to see it blasted by many reviewers. They claimed it was too easy or too hard and painfully awkward to control. That is not the case. It is actually a very smart game that teaches you how to play in the first level without a single word of dialog or a single segment of text. +Any poor bastard that was unfortunate enough that played this atrocious, inhumane, intolerable game, with a brain stem knows, this game couldn't be given away. +But I don't love this. +Final Rating: 3.8/5 +There are a couple of things to note about the guides themselves. The first is that it seems just a little strange that the guides themselves are not actually individually shrink wrapped. This seems a little odd. It's not that big of a deal but when you open the packaging they're already loose. Considering each original release came shrink wrapped it's a little strange. Perhaps the thing that some consumers might mind is that none of these guides come with their respective extras. Anything that was considered a bonus for getting the collector's edition guide isn't here. Likewise, when this particular collection was announced, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds simply wasn't planned for the package. So anyone hoping this guide comes with the collection are out of luck. That's no big deal. +Pokemon is a classic. It'll always be a classic. No matter who you are, if you played Pokemon ten years ago, the craze was completely undeniable. If you got addicted like I did, chances are you're still playing today. Because in its core, the game was far deeper than you thought it was, and the series continues to use that same basic formula even today. + +The challenge is excellent (which means "just right"). One of the hardest Mario games to date- you will be playing this game for a long, long time. Trust me, you'll WANT to dig in and replay this bad boy over and over because of the amount of fun it offers. The challenge isn't in reaching the end of the level. It's in trying to get a score of 100% in every level. +9227 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have had this game for a while, but declined to play it because it did not have any on-line gaming available and with the release of games such as RTCW, MOHAA, and C&C:Renegade, i had played those first and done the on-line thing. So I finally loaded this one up and WOW! The beginning cutscene was amazing. Alot of the game storytelling is done in comic book format and you have the ability to either watch it again or fast forward through it. + +This game adds features that: makes the game easier to manage (especially in later stages), add depth to some of the options (i.e. government types) and overall enhances the game play. +5377 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 its a very good game , you should buy it . +Final Fantasy VI has got to be the best in the series when it comes to characters, catchy music, and storyline. The characters are all different and have their own personalities that make the game very unique. The characters are developed very well, and you find yourself caring about their feelings, and what happens to them. Beat the game, and then listen to the soundtrack, and I can gurantee that you will remember exactley where you were in the game when you first heard the songs. The storyline is very traditional (good vs. bad no gray area), but it is a very well developed storyline with a few twists and turns, and to top it all off the bad guy in the game (Kefka) is the most evil and twisted villan in all of the Final Fantasy Series. +8808 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Rare proved to be a worthy asset to Nintendo during the 90's and surprised everyone by bringing out the hit arcade game, Killer Instinct in 1994. It was an excellent alternative to the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat games that dominated the arcade scene. While it did not have as many characters or stages as other fighting games, it made up for it with stunning graphics, excellent music, a roster of good characters and deep gameplay that made you want to master each character. Then in 1995, Rare released Killer Instinct for the SNES shocking and surprising gamers at the same time. And it was so close to the source material that it was such a marvelous achievement from Rare and Nintendo. +So, I played it for three hours and then gave up. I had an entire row of PS2 generation RPSs to suck up my attention, such as FFX and its sequel. Which might not have the same old grueling fight system, but I can actually tell that Yuna is a girl, not a green dot with brown lines on her head. +533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to love this because the graphics were great with the best cenery seen in a Ninja game on the PLAYSTATION. The problem is you collect power ups for your shurikuns(throwing stars)that make them pretier and powerfuler, when you die you have to look for more treasure chests as you progress through the game. +5757 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are few series I consider to even be on the same level as the twelve official games in the Final Fantasy legacy, and of those I consider chapter eight to be the undeniable pinnacle. Which, considering its predecessor, the nearly omnipotent fanboy wet dream that was FFVII, says one hell of a lot. This title had every reason to underwhelm, from the groundbreaking success that preceded it (and the enormous shadow of expectations it had cast) to the wildly different path it chose to tread in terms of storyline themes and visual direction... yet it succeeds all the same. +THE GAME-PLAY: This is where Donkey Kong 64 kills, and not in the good way. The game rips from the popular "grab the golden item to proceed to more levels" style originated by Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. Now, that would be fine since the genre has pretty much held water for years, but DK64 has you "power-walking" your way through each task, some of which are dragged on already. +Many of the tricks and puzzles buried within the mansion aren't so much brain teasers as they are time wasters. You'll realize what needs to be done within moments, but chances are good you won't have the piece needed to do so on your person. It took me about six and a half hours to beat the game for the first time as Chris, cautiously walking around, learning the position of the zombies, figuring out the puzzles, groaning as I realized the piece I needed was sitting in a chest, fifteen minutes away, and repeating that process. The second time through, playing as Jill and remembering which random item I would need where, I finished in three hours and twenty minutes. That's one heck of a variation. +So, I was not sure whether or not I'd like Duke Nukem Zero Hour or not. These days the N64 is not mainstream gaming; so video stores & etc don't even have 64 games to rent anymore. I never ever saw any Duke Nukem games for rental anywhere. But anyway, I took a deep breath and bought Duke Nukem Zero Hour second hand from a Video Game store and took it home to play with low expectations. I just knew I was not going to like this, it was over hyped or it would be another one where I thought, "what does anyone see in this?" +8785 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not sure where to begin with this game... Well, first of all, the story is highly original and quite interesting. I like the fact that the game is based on a future Earth, with real places from history as its dungeons. Wonderful idea. The graphics are pretty standard SNES fare, with a slight combination of Zelda and Chrono Trigger. Some of the music is excellent and very moving too. I especially like the little world map tune, the mysterious flute tune that plays at the Inca ruins, and, most of all, that song that plays when you save the game and choose to quit for now (I wish I knew the names of these songs, they're great). + Despite the graphics (come on ,this game didn't come out yesterday;) Clock tower is pretty challenging and innovative in the horror games department. +Everything depends on your Guardian Forces, which you must properly junction in accordance to the complex Junction System. Obviously the system would be much more of a joy to learn if not for the fascinatingly confusing manual. Luckily, there are numerous in-game tutorials that are far more helpful. +Oh, and Donkey Kong doesn't slap the ground anymore. That's slightly disappointing because I used to like slapping bananas out of the dirt. +6409 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To keep things brief, if you liked the first you'll like this one. It keeps the tried and true formula from Age of Empires and transitions it over into a great sequel. This game is very easy to pick up and play if you take a few minutes to learn the trades of the game. +- If you hate futuristic racing, techno, or racing while shooting games +8535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 SOR sets a ton of standards and holds up in 2009. +5918 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy VIII is by far the most innovative RPG I have played in a long while. So many new idea, where to start...
