NCAA College Football 2K3
Overall: This is the best college football game around! The addition of the ESPN licence was a great idea, you can name players, and can also draft them into NFL 2K3.Gameplay: The gameplay is good but they used last years 2K2 engine. Passing is pretty hard but it is realistic cuz you have to find the open reciever. If they used the updated engine the gameplay would be flawless.
Graphics: Once Again the graphics are good except for the fact that it uses last years 2K2 engine. The addition of the ESPN licence is great, complete with bottom line and ESPN graphics from the show.
Audio: The Announcers are great. They are not repetitive at all and dont repeat at all during the game. The team anthems are in the game, and the on field sounds are great.
Suggestions: Update the graphics and gameplay to the newer model.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
NFL 2K3
Overall: THIS IS THE BEST FOOTBALL GAME OF ALL TIME. Great graphics, Great Gameplay, Commentary is flawless it never repeats in a game. Legacy mode is awesome, you can talk players out of retirement, go to the nfl combine and check out rookies, NFL 2K3 Has it all!Gameplay: The gameplay is very realistic. The A.I. is pretty hard, If you do a long dive to try and tackle the computer they will just stiff arm or spin away, you actually have to get a close hard tackle to knock them down which is very realistic.
Graphics: The best graphics i have ever seen in a sports game hands down. You can identify each player because the graphics are so good, it has the ESPN license so it has their presention of football from the scoreboard to the bottom line.
Audio: The commentary is great, The announcers never get old unlike madden and never repeat in a game which is another plus. It has the ESPN sounds in the game.
Suggestions: Have a training camp and a multiple team legacy mode.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Halo: Combat Evolved
Overall: I've had this game since launch, but for some reason havent rated it, but anyway, This is the BEST MULTIPLAYER FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER GAME of all time. The regular game is a little short, but the multiplayer is where this game shines. I cant wait for Halo 2.Gameplay: Great gameplay, Easy to control, the vehichles are great, lots of weapons to pick up, I love this game!
Graphics: The graphics are great, Each alien is unique, master cheif looks sweet, the levels are nicely layed out. This game looks great.
Audio: The sound is excellent, The cutscenes are cool, and sound great. The aliens have different screems and such and the guns sound real.
Suggestions: More Levels, Different types of multiplayer players, like covenant members or something, that have unique fighting characteristics.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
NFL Fever 2002
Overall: This is a descent football game for a first go by microsoft, but is deffinatly not as good as Madden or the 2K series. It is lacking in some areas and is missing some key things(Houston Texans)that should be in a football game. The rosters in regular mode dont carry over to franchise so u have to recreate everyone of your created players. The player performance after each game is cool.Gameplay: The game is easy to pick up and play, running the ball is easier than in the other football games, and has a more arcady feel than the others also. If you dont like the simulation type of madden and 2K2 and are more of a blitz fan but want a little more realism than blitz than this is a perfect game for you. The player performance can go up or down after each game which is cool.
Graphics: The graphics are good but not as good as madden or 2K2 in my mind.
Audio: The sound is good, the announcers are deffinatly not as annoying as in madden, and the on field sounds are good too.
Suggestions: Add more depth to franchise and have the rosters carry over from regular mode to franchise.
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Fuzion Frenzy
Overall: This is the best party game out there right now. If you have some friends that come over alot or a couple of siblings then deffinatly buy this game. If you don't you may want to pass because of the weak one-player mode.Gameplay: The games are fun and are very easy to learn. The controls come up before each game, and usually consist of only one or two buttons.
Graphics: The graphics are ok but i dont think that it shows the true power of the X-Box. The games arenas are nicely layed out and each player has their own unique look.
Audio: The sound gets pretty repetitive after awhile and would be way better if you could use your ripped songs from the hard drive.
Suggestions: More depth in one player mode. Ability to add ripped songs
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
Overall: This game is really fun! From the actual game to the numerous minigames the action is non-stop, it keeps track of records of each thing you do, so you and a buddy can take turns seeing who can beat the others score.Gameplay: This game is fast paced, and there is alot of special crazy moves that can up your fares from a crazy dash to a crazy jump. The minigames have a pretty good difficulty and you can unlock new ones when you beat a certain number of them.
Graphics: The game looks pretty good overall but i dont think it is using the absolute power of the X-Box.
Audio: The sound is really good the only downfall is that you cant rip songs from the hard drive but the game plays a few offspring songs and some others.
Suggestions: Ability to rip songs from hard drive and add more levels to the game.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Knockout Kings 2002
Overall: This game has great graphics,the boxers look almost identical to their counterparts. The CAB could be better but its ok. This game is too easy, i won each title in about 6 hours.Gameplay: The idea of having the heartbeat in the controller when the boxers health gets down is a really good idea but this game is missing something the game is way to easy and u just pretty much do punch after punch after punch till someone loses, u dont even really have to block or bob that much.
Graphics: The graphics are excellent the boxers look almost exactly like their counterparts. The arenas are kinda bland though but other than that it looks pretty good.
Audio: The sound in this game is bad. There is really not any good music. The sound of the announcer and the growns of the boxers when the punches connect are what u pretty much hear during the match no backround music.
Suggestions: Make the game better. Add the ability to rip songs.
Overall Score: 5.0 / 10
Outlaw Golf
Overall: This game is non-stop fun. The Outlaw Range is a nice extra in the game to boost your players stats. The game has alot of humor in it and the ability to beat your caddy to get your composure back up is also a nice idea.Gameplay: There are many modes of golf that you can play in this game from skins to casino. There is an Outlaw Range that can raise your players stats. The controls are hard to get used to at first but after playing it for an hour or two its not hard at all. I like the idea of using the joystick and moving it in the motion of the club to swing.
Graphics: The graphics are good. There is a wide range of golfers from a wanna be rapper(Ice Trey)to a stripper(Summer). They each have their own way of beating their caddy and each have different reactions to good and bad shots. The courses are nicely layed out and look almost real.
Audio: The sound is O.K. but it would have been better if you could have ripped songs into the game. The announcer is good and has alot of cutdowns and other things to say. Each character also speaks their minds in different situations.
Suggestions: An addition of golf carts would be nice and the ability to rip songs into the game too.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Spider-Man
Overall: This game is fun for a little bit but after awhile gets very repetitive. The game is way too short. The cutscenes are cool but the music gets very annoying. The extras aren't anything special except for the ability to play as the green goblin which is cool but the bowling is stupid, and so are the other costumes that you unlock in the game.Gameplay: The camera in this game is horrible. Controls are very hard to get used to even though the amount of moves spiderman has is mind blowing.
Graphics: The cutscenes are nice, the graphics of the game overall are nice, but it all comes back to the stupid camera in this game.
Audio: The sound gets really annoying. The in game music is really bad and gets repetitive really quick. The use of the actual actors voices is nice though.
Suggestions: make a longer game, put better music in.
Overall Score: 7.0 / 10
NHL Hitz 2002
Overall: This is an awesome game. The skills competitions are fun, you can create your own teams, logo, and players and build up your team to go for the Midway Cup or use an NHL team to go for the Stanley Cup. You can rip songs and play them in this game. A must for any X-box owner. Gameplay: Excellent gameplay, Fast paced hockey action with the same elements as in NFL BLITZ. Fun franchise mode.
Graphics: The graphics are good except for the fact that every person in the game has white hands, aliens, black players, bulls, etc. The players faces can be improved for NHL HITZ 20-03 also.
Audio: Good soundtrack by itself, plus has the ability to use ripped songs from the hard drive. The in game sounds are good too, like the sound of people skating and the hits on other players.
Suggestions: Improve graphics
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Overall: This game has a good selection of skaters but not enough courses, you unlock many more than at the start when you beat the game with every objective completed over and over. The game gets repetitive and pretty difficult after playing for a while. The ability to use your ripped songs in the game was a good idea.Gameplay: The game has many tricks that can be done by each character with unique specials for each. But after awhile the game gets repetitive and the objectives get very difficult. You have to get every objective and every gold medal to unlock anything and you have to do it over and over to unlock everything.
Graphics: The graphics of the game are excellent, the levels are nicely modeled and are really big. The create a skater and create a park are still there and the different multiplayer games are still fun.
Audio: The ability to use your ripped songs from the X-BOX Hard drive was a good idea and the actual soundtrack to the game isn't half bad either.
Suggestions: Online Play
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Hunter: The Reckoning
Overall: THIS IS A GREAT GAME! I like how each hunter has two weapons of their own and the ability to pick up other weapons such as a rocket launcher, shotgun, and flamethrower to name a few. The multiplayer is excellent but the difficulty increases for every person you add. The difficulty of this game is very hard but the game is fun anyway. The blood of each monster is poured out with each strike, the visuals are excellent. BRING ON HUNTER 2. Gameplay: The games controls are easy to get used to pretty much any body could pick it up and play whether they like it is another story because the games difficulty is very hard and increases with each person you add. Each Hunter has two weapons: A long and short ranged, and you can pick up others along the way. Your Hunters skills go up as they gain experience after every X amount of monsters killed. If you like a good action game with a little Resident Evil mixed in then purchase this game quick.
Graphics: The cut scenes of this game are very good and the characters are nicely modeled. The monsters blood comes by the gallons and only adds to the great graphics of this game.
Audio: The monsters groans and moans are excellent and the in game music goes nicely with the game, but only comes on at certain points in the game, like when a big group of monsters is coming.
Suggestions: A multiplayer deathmatch mode, more hunters and more weapons.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
Mad Dash Racing
Overall: Mad Dash Racing's single player could only occupy the attencion span of a person 10 and younger. The races get repetitive after a while, but it is a decent multiplayer game though, the use of a physical attack on another person is almost imposible because of the fast speed of a race.Gameplay: The races are fast paced but are very hard to get used to. The use of twirling the joystick to swim and climb was a good idea and the different types of runners is cool but overall the gameplay is subpar.
Graphics: The Cartoony graphics are unique and each player has a special characteristic about themselves whether being able to fly, or run faster for example. The levels are nicely detailed but get boring after playing the thing over and over. Finding shortcuts in a level is a cool thing to put in the game.
Audio: The sound is decent until you hear it many times. The players voices are cool at times but are repetitive after being the same person over and over.
Suggestions: Add the ability to use songs from the hard drive to play during races and just improve the game overall.
Overall Score: 5.0 / 10
Legends of Wrestling
Overall: This game is fun overall, The Create a Wrestler is pretty good and the game has a unique reversal system. The Entrance Music is corny, but the ability to use ripped songs as superstars entrance Music is really cool and you can even go back and change the legends theme music.There is a referee present in every match so they can be distracted by your manager while your tag team partner comes in and helps you whale on your opponent. The Create a Wrestler is pretty deep you can create almost any modern star or legend from HHH to Ultimate Warrior. If you are a wrestling fan deffinatly pick up this game it is the best availible on X-BOX and blows RAW out of the water.Until RAW 2 comes out next spring this will do for your wrestling game fix.Gameplay: The gameplay overall is pretty good there is a good amount of different moves that can be done from each position. The reversal system is cool because you have to push the A button at the right time on the meter to reverse it. The only downfall is that when you run it feels like you are on a jetpack making it difficult to pull off running attacks. The Career mode is really cool you win different titles for each section of the US you win in, Your wrestlers popularity goes up after each match depending on how exciting it was, when you reach 100% You get a title shot.
Graphics: The visuals of the game are mediocre the wrestlers look somewhat like their counterparts but more like enlarged superheroes. You can control what your superstar does on the way to the ring (tagging fans, raising arms, ect.)The Blood in the game is really cool, it drips of superstars heads and stains the ring. Each superstar has their signiture moves. The coolest is RVD because he can do Rolling Thunder, Split Legged Moonsault,Vandaminator, and Five Star Frog Splash.
Audio: The entrance music for each superstar sucks, but the reason i rated it so high is because of the fact that you can put your ripped songs from the hard drive as your superstars music and that is including the legends. So you can ignore this, If the music really bothers you go buy the WWF the music CD that has some of the superstars songs and load them on there.
Suggestions: I suggest to Acclaim that they add more wrestlers such as Jake the Snake,Andre the Giant,Macho Man,Stone Cold, The Rock, and Many Others and also to add more match types, Like First Blood, Backstage Brawls, Royal Rumble. Also add full Entrances and more color options to the Create a Wrestler.
