During the actual strategic part of the game, you navigate bitmapped characters throughout a polygon map. The maps range anywhere from really small to quite big - it can take up to 20 minutes to get from one side to another. The landscapes are varied with mountains and valleys. The textures that are slathered on the polygons look great, and the bitmapped characters and enemies fit in like a charm. The spells don't look quite as good as Final Fantasy 7, but they are still really cool. Vandal Hearts did receive a rating of Mature, and there is really only one reason for it. When you kill an enemy, even if you just poke it with your finger, an artery-busting spray of blood is released. Although it may be a little gratuitous, it sure does look neat. The game is turn-based and you navigate each character individually. Because of the vastly different maps and buildings that would block your view of the action, you can rotate the camera around 360 degrees, as well as switch from a blimp view to a side view (and everything in-between). The camera is really intuitive, not hindering the game at all. Before you decide to start moving your characters and spewing some blood, you might want to observe the landscape and plan out your attack. Because you can see the whole map from the beginning, having an actual plan can be extremely helpful. I can attest that blindly running around attempting to kill things doesn't work as well as you'd think. The music is an orchestral score that will definitely get you pumped up into killing the baddies. The sound is equally as good; squishy blood sounds and the clashes of metal upon metal are all superbly done. The sounds that accompany the spells also follow suit, and you won't be disappointed by leaving the sound turned up LOUD.
442 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome, love it.
4463 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 O.K. . The single player game is easy. You can beat that in an hour. But you get hooked. I played each level probably 1000 times before i finally started playing multiplayer. I played it so much my mom made me stop for a while. But does that stop me?! No way!! I still play it all the time. The only bad part of the game is the way hard to understand campaign editor. Im an expert at the game and im barely a rookie at campaign editor. Everything is easy smeesy lemon peezy until you try triggers. But lets not talk about that. Lets just say its one of those games that you just remember. Its also HAS to be one of the best games ever created.
You get to have all type's of gun's and so on.
The graphics are great! Shooting with a bow and arrow never looked so cool. The music isn't bad, yet it doesn't really match the level sometimes. Some bosses are ridiculously easy, even for that time.
Difficulty: Easy to Hard
They're where a couple of things I didn't like about this game.
In addition to the regular carnage of destroying buildings, there are a few Time Attack stages thrown in for your speed-running pleasure. There are also a few hidden goals that you can acheive in order to turn your gold-medal completion into a DOUBLE gold-medal completion. Ahh, the simple pleasure of trying to get a medal and high score in videogames...
And the built-in campaigns are clever, though and lots of fun to play.
Of the three, I have spent more time on Asheron's Call and found it's monthly subscription worth it. Every two months, new scenarios, items and quests are added to the game. They have done fun scenarios such as adding a creature with "god" statistics and having an AC programmer control it and wreak havoc in the world. Creative stuff such as snow during the winter (real time) and "killer snowmen". The 3-D view that one witnesses while playing the game is impressive. You can stand on a cliff in the middle of nowhere and view the horizon.
1308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works perfect
8388 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game for SNES
I rather play more than Call of Duty and other stupid Xbox One or PS4.
6892 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is exactly what everybody has said already about this game. It's bad... REALLY BAD. The intro movie alone is enough to let you know what you're in for which is a whole lot of crap.
699 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great
The graphics are some of the best on the Genesis. Especially considering its limited color palliate.
7422 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After 'Revenge' the Shinobi games went downhill quite bit with the rather tepid Shadow Dancer. I know I'm not the only person in the world who was disappointed with the Genesis port because the arcade version (and even the Commodore 64 version) was so much better (and almost completely different).
There are hours of despair waiting here for you and a sense of time well spent - I enjoyed every moment, my heart has never been the same!
SUPERMAN 64 is one of the most unforgettable and original experiences in all of gaming!
great for Zelda fans
Camera: Many games these days suffer camera issues that are downright unbearable, but Final Fantasy VII's camera is always placed in the right overhead area and for some levels at in a nice side scrolling style. You can customize how you want the camera to behave during battle sequences, and you can even control the camera while on the world map. The camera here is perfect with no complaints.
There are very few non-player character interactions. In fact, in most cases an encounter with another character usually means trouble--some encounters result in a sudden "game over". This game, consequently, is a very solitary experience, with very little dialogue and with most clues being found intuitively and through exploration. I enjoyed this aspect of the game very much. Some reviewers have felt that the sudden "game over" encounters were unnecessary and distracting. Perhaps, but if you save often (as you should anyway), you can easily return to the gameplay, and the game makes it fairly clear fairly quickly that you should avoid ALL beings. Once the first serious encounter is made, the player is fairly well clued in that nothing about these worlds is particularly friendly.
9204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just came last night! Works great in my GameBoy color if you play in the original GameBoy it will be black-and-white. If you play it with a super NES adapter it will show some color but not good color. But if you play in the GameBoy color it will show a lot of good color as you can tell in the picture. I recommend this version of donkey Kong
939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game is just as I remember it. Works great
Rayman 2
1855 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a fun 3D platform adventure game. Croc may look cute and easy to play but It was definitely challenging even for veteran video game players. The game is very bright with colorful backgrounds, with lots of stomping and jumping on crates and boxes. The boss fights were very well done and exciting. The controls took a little bit of getting used to but the gameplay overall was responsive and fun. The game is appropriate for all ages, and the bonus levels are fun and interesting.
5324 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was definitely how I remember this game. Classic, played it a lot when I was a youngster and decided to get some classics back.
9683 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I throughly did not like this game at all. Unless you enjoy being on a set track and taking pictures of pokemon with a limited amount of film and giving them food or bombing them or playing music for them and taking more pictures. Then this game is not for you.
Music:
1537 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
My suggestion? Buy it now and see ya at M-player.com!
Suikoden is a fine example of early Playstation RPGs, perhaps even one of the best. If you don't care too much for constant change and innovation, Suikoden just might fit your bill.
6897 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 People say this game is bad, but its the best mk game on the gameboy. while it only has 2 levels and 1 fatality per character the gameplay is great. The people move fast and the controls are responsive, which is alot more than i can say for most fighters on the gameboy. while it lacks blood color and may not be as nice as the gamegear version its still not bad.
#1: Super Body Slam (lets you break through protected crates)
3890 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I just bought the N64 version of the Gameshark and am somewhat satisfied with the results. I own No Mercy, which is plagued by glitches. Gameshark allowed me to gain all that I had lost in the game by unlocking all the secrets. A great peripheral for those who are stuck in a game. Unfortunately there are some glitches. Apparantly some games won't work with it, as my Resident Evil 2 kept locking up when I tried it with Gameshark. Also there are reports of it breaking after a few months of use. All in all a good tool, but buyer beware.
6427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's no wonder that this game was rated "Game of the Year" by USA Today. And although the honor was bestowed upon it a while back, it still holds true today.
You play Harry Mason, a widower, whose daughter Cheryl goes missing en route to their vacation in the resort town of Silent Hill. Along the way you encounter allies and enemies (Cybil the Cop, Dr. Michael, Nurse Lisa, and the memorable Dahlia Gillespie, one of the series' coolest characters to date) and unravel the ghastly truth behind the desertion and possession of a seemingly innocent town.
If you have played Caesar 3, you'll find that playing this game is very easy. All the controls, units, and gameplay is very similar to Caesar 3. Although Pharaoh is not a new game, yet it is fun to play. With a few bucks, you can get great simulation game that might get you obsessed on it!
582 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 NOT terrible, like the other reviews say....
PROS - Eye candy. Plenty of game modes. Enough tracks to get going. Fairly good variety of cars. Scaled difficulty levels from casual to advanced.
- Will keep you entertained for hours, day, weeks, and possibly even months.
gameplay 5/5

5 stars!
the seller was good as well. it got here on time. and the quality of the product was much better than what i was expecting.
Cons:
The graphics in the game are thoroughly detailed and nice. The sounds and music are greatly composed as well.
6967 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It's Disney, need I say more? Even though it's GameCube it is still a fun and challenging game. The end.

9135 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like it.
I cant wait til Duke Nukem Forever, if its as bad as this I'll cry!
The replay value is through the roof- there are many different ways to get to the final boss.
8721 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the tracks were fun an d tuff i liked the weapons and the caters it had the best battle mode
But don't think accomplishing this is so easy. Everything has a price to pay in this game and without a large team of villagers to boost the economy, your civilization will not last for long. Even so, a strong, loyal miltary is also needed to defend and protect you at all times. And don't forget, each time you play, more suprises await you.
9799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This resident evil game is the best in the series on playstation system wat can remember about this game u can the dual shock for it.
Battle Style - this is the best part. ya you choose your options with no control pad. just A B X and Y. oh yeah and as a hint your pretty much unbeatable if you have bowser up in front to fight.
Unbelievable graphics.
Replayability/Value: I picked this game up new for about $12 on eBay, so I certainly got my money's worth. I don't see much replay value in the campaign, though I can imagine replaying it again at least once. The skirmish mode is decent, and there are enough maps to keep you playing for a while. If you are looking to play online, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time finding a game.
8160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was the perfect introduction to the Super Nintendo system. Very colorful, full of excitement, and easy to play (but hard to figure out sometimes). Sounds simple but most games don't have it. I would say this is the second best SNES game ever, right behind Legend of Zelda:Link to the Past. Thanks for reading.
Perfect Dark
GOOD:
2548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks a lot.
4395 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Starcraft is one of the most annoying games ive ever played. Sure, terran marines give u a little laugh now and then but the controls are frustrating. You have to right click(why not the usual left-click?) to select units and you cant deselect them. Building times are extremely long- and so are the units. Gameplay on my PC is overall boring and slow( on a Pentium II 400, voodoo3, 96mb RAM). I have only got up to the third terran mission then finally gave up. And whats up by only controlling 12 units at a time? The Command Conquer series lets you control all units you have on screen. Starcraft's ingame graphics aren't that good, FMV qualty is terrible and Battle.net gives you a pain in the a** because of its slow server and few options. Westwood online gives the player more options and is also faster. All in all, i say the command and conquer series is better - go play tiberian sun or red alert or any other C&C game - SC isn't worth your time or money.
6920 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Just got this 1st cib.
953 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good...
The game is very violent, which won't be a problem for many gamers, but it's something you should be aware of. Also, as has been mentioned, the game is fairly short, which may disappoint some people, although finishing the game the first time unlocks new play modes. Overall, though, if you want something different from the standard shooter fare, you won't be disappointed with Max Payne.
5858 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 THOUGH THIS IS A TRUE RPG. BUT THE BATTELS ARE DRAMATICLY EXHAUSTIC. AND THE STORY GETS TIRESOME. BUT OVERLALL THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST RPGS EVER MADE.(not as good as "legend of the dragoon")
5746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still remember getting this game on 9/9/99, the day it came out. I love this game because of it's junction system and some of the other cool features in this game. Unfortunatly, from all of the people that I knew, people either hated the game (most of those people are on this side of the love/hate group) and a few people loved it (Extremly Hardcore RPG fans seem to love it.). I love the game but this is the Final Fantasy game that a whole lot of people just can't stand. It is a long game, especially if you get stuck, so a guide (internet or actual guide i don't care) will really help. It is the easiest game to literally reach level 100 because every 1000 exp gets you a level up but using the junction system is also an important role in the game because it can raise your stats as well. This is a game that you will have to play for yourself. before you agree with the haters, give it a spin, please.
"Super Mario 64" takes the technique of 'multiple goals' for each level (introduced in "Super Mario World") and expands it in a quite impressive manner. There are 15 worlds Mario must navigate in an effort to free the Princess who is trapped in paintings in her castle. The goal is to accumulate at least 70 stars to unlock the passage way the final battle with Bowser. As each world contains 7 stars of its own in addition to 15 bonus stars around the castle, it would seem to be a walk in the park. However, all is not as it seems. Several of the doors leading the different worlds are sealed off either by locks or star requirements. Therefore, there is a limited amount of ways to accumulate the necessary stars until more stars are attained or earlier battles with Bowser are won. Of course, this leads to a journey through amazing worlds were Mario travels the depths of the ocean, soars in the open sky, battles over scorching lava, and even gets to sneak through a haunted house. The variety of worlds and objectives are truly amazing, as are the new moves Mario can make to help accomplish these goals. No longer content to just move forward and jump, Mario can now do backflips, long jumps, wall leaps, and crawls.
5227 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 THis game invented stealth to the gaming industry. Plus, it porved that you could be a badass in a video game. Unfortuantly, no one who has played MGS2 is gonna go play MGS1. And that's a shame, because MGS1 almost beats the 2nd one. Better gameplay? Yes, there's a lot more action, stealth is more important, and there's more gameplay than movie. The story's pretty normal until the end. It seems like a regular terroist movie turned into a game. However, there are some bad things compared to the 2nd one. Bad graphics, can't shoot in First person mode, and you don't have a tranquilizer. Oh well, this is Playstation 1. They improved on MGS2, but only a little.
Challenge 7/10
+great atmosphere
Excellent new aliens. From the one-eyed chicken-legged Shocktroopers to the bullish lurching sewer creatures, all new alien strains add plenty of much needed variety. There's plenty of them too, offhand I'd say that there's at least eight or so new enemies.
A certain degree of frustration does come with the game, however. Some golden bananas are impossible to get you do absolutely everything right. You'll do lots of falling and retrying (especially in the factory level) to reach some. Another irk is that you must get two coins in order to advance to the final boss stages. You must beat the original Donkey Kong and Jetpak. The problem is, no matter what, I could not beat the original Donkey Kong, which prevented me from beating the game. I spent so many wasted hours trying to beat that stupid game. Last, this game requires an expansion pack. Nowadays, expansion packs are hard to come by and cost about $20, which is probably five times more than the actual game will cost you.
6209 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a huge Blade Runner fan, first and for most. When I bought The game, I was astonished. The plot beautifully done. You play BR dectective Ray McCoy (Sorry fans, but you can't play Rick Deckard in this. But he does show up in a picture you recieve. Plus, on the training maze, it shows his top score). You're first assignment for the day is an animal murder of a fancy pet shop (in the future, animals are very rare, so they made bad fake ones). Once getting your hands on a picture of several replicants, the perps that Blade Runners chase, the real story begins.
edit: One warning however... You can only use Simcity 2000 (yes it's that old..heheh) cities to "tour".. I'm pretty sure it cannot use Simcity 3000, Simcity4, Rushhour and Deluxe versions. I believe there are conversion programs that can move the maps at least (though probably not the buildings) back and forth. It does come with 30 or so cities "prebuilt", so this isn't required. Of course SC2000 is still available not only alone but in various collection editions with other SC versions.
8184 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mega Man X4 was amazing for it's time with full motion video ( FMV ) and a decent soundtrack along with ok graphics. The game itself presents a lot of skill to be expected and should be recommended to those who really like the series in it's entirety. Overall the game title is great and is a nice edition to your Mega Man X collection for those of you who like Capcom and the superb games they have to offer.
Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.
The multiplayer sounds enticing with the ability for one person to take control of the NPCs and monsters. But if the gameplay is similar to the single-player then I can't see it being much better.
6856 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is absolutely a worthwhile gaming experience. This game has it all killer gameplay,replay value,great controls,graphics,sound,awesome and crazy levels with high speed. In 2003 its hard to find a game this good these days with a few exceptions (Halo,Halo 2,Doom III) but besides a few titles the new games just don't impress me,so they have better graphics but where is the gameplay and such. Anyways back to the review Sonic The Hedgehog 2 can appeal to almost anyone young to old. Also checkout SONIC CD FOR SEGA CD it is by far the best Sonic game and Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is second in my opinion.
-The levels are decently designed and reasonably long, but like X4, there are hardly any extras to find (however, this IS the first game). Powerups are easy to find for the most part (the dash-boots upgrade IS DIRECTLY IN YOUR PATH). Still, there are more secrets to find here than in any other MM game up to that point.
The plot - so important for a game like this - is only marginal. All the twists are told through graphic novel-style comic book panels. While they look perfect and capture a wonderful mood, the story itself is cliched and the plot often jumps all over the place. The voice acting is great, but lonely college kids pose as models in the panels, and look ridiculous. Oh, well.
Certainly a long game, but length is not always a good thing. Look at Conker's BFD, it was short, and still owned this game wicked bad. 15 hours of this, and you'll wish Rare had stopped there.
4400 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game introduced me at a young age to communial development planning, and money management. This game is, I guess you could say, one to grow with, it takes time and it helps one to learn along the way. I'd also like to add that it helps, especially a younger mind, to experience freedom with their money allowing them to spend it as they choose. If he/she spends it unwisely (go bankrupt) that person will know to become better managers of their money the next time.
If you have patience to try and figure this one out then go for it, but in all honesty I would not recommend purchasing this item, not even at a fantastic deal. Unless, of course, someone gives it to you for free.
The CONS: None.
Value: 7/10 - A fun car racing game that lasts a long time and challenges you to do better. But in this genre, we have seen games done better and you might want to go off and play them instead.
The violence level in this game is a major plus. You can blast your enemies anywhere and they will do anything from having their heads explode to grabbing their manhood and moaning, all in an extremely realistic manner. They even limp around if shot in the leg, which was a really cool effect considering that that is how it should be. Then if you shoot them in the arms or legs with a big weapon, they will no longer be attached to the enemies torso. Unforunately, gibbing left something to be desired, but it is made up for with the exit wounds!
8263 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A couple of years back I remember playing a demo for this game. I told myself one day I will get the game and I did.
4741 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game still rocks 10 years later and has such a huge fan-base
The overall presentation is amazing. There is an unusual amount of detail here for a sixteen bit game. It is quite possibly one of the best looking games on the Super Nintendo. But what stands out taller than anything, are the games musical tunes. It is some of the best you'll hear out of any soundtrack. Even by today's standards, Donkey Kong Country 2 has a soundtrack that stands the test of time. It still sounds good. There are some great tunes here. To this day I still listen to the Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack. In particular Stickerbrush Symphony may be the best track the Donkey Kong Country trilogy ever put out.
If you haven't played it yet, get going!
If there was anything to criticize about the original release it would be the same thing that everyone criticizes. The translation is absolutely horrible. The story is incredible, but the script for the original Playstation version may be one of the worst efforts done in localization history. It's almost worth it to pick up the PSP version of the game for this one reason alone. Some of the translation is so bad some parts of the story are utterly confusing. The only other problem with Final Fantasy Tactics is that if you really want to get through the game, you'll spend the least amount of time taking in the story. As I mentioned earlier, level grinding is a must to survive throughout the adventure. The problem is you'll have to do it too much. To the point where it stops the advancement of the story. Sometimes for long intervals at a time. And the story hardly retreads or reiterates events.
Now, I stopped playing ff5 half way through because it is much longer than other final fantasys. It also has a saving issue. Sometimes when opening the save menu you will see the pixels go crazy. You have to exit the save menu a couple times or just select save by pressing down once than x 3 times. This bug is kinda annoying at times but it can be fixed. It does have high points though that should not be overlooked.
7379 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hello Mario fans!
Pros:
The game has so many creative and interesting camera angles many times it makes you feel as if you are in a movie as if you are literally a part of Silent Hill.
Pretty easy game to pick up & play, yet more time will have to be put in to become a master.
The Elite Force story, while not entirely original, is quite rich as well-told. Like in Half-Life, your character plays a pivitol role in the story and actually experiences a true character arc (unlike Gordon Freeman, IMO).
4118 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fun game
8798 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is great fun. The SNES DK series are my favorite games of all time. This game transends fun no matter what era we are in. I cant recommend this game enough. Buy it. You won't be dissapointed.
223 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works as expected. Good quality product
The game lasts really long, and it is always fun, even after it is beaten.
Never forget how a little fire can take out an entire city in the blink of an eye. Ohhh the classics.
5 stars for fun factor, 4 stars for adequate but dated technology, and wingman/enemy AI that, though improved and adequate, could have been improved even more.
For 2013,Pocket Monsters X and Y came out worldwide,as the first Nintnedo game to be a worldwide launch. It was boring,in my opinion,and it wasn't very good. Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came out in 2014,another worldwide launch. They were also not fun.
I love this version of the game the best (even more than that ReMake) because it has 3 options for gameplay, original, beginner or arranged. Arranged is awesome as it "arranges" the locations of many items in the game. Much like the "2nd quest" on the first Zelda game.
Serial I/O ("Link cable"): 512 kbit/s with up to 4 connections in serial
4773 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the things that always made D&D annoying for me to play was that the GM could rarely be completely cold and fair in regards to die rolls. sometimes the GM would pick a favorite class or a favorite PC and they'd always come out better than others. Well, in Baldur's Gate the GM is the computer so everything is fair and impartial.
Video Game Hall of Fame. Zelda influenced the action/rpg genre, even to this day. Even Sony made a Zelda clone
Fun Factor\Replay Value: 1/10
The training levels are easy to get the hang of. I dislike the cone-of-vision, because even if you were just in a room, you suddenly forget where everything is in it - even the walls - and have to visit again to make sure you didn't miss anything. If you swing by a room, it draws it as a complete room, so it's difficult to tell from maps where you have been and where you have just passed by.
CHARACTER QUALITY: Love them
where you can play all levels again but backwards!
2570 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Condition wise color was faded and a bit dirty but screen works and same with the audio so I give it a 4.5
6052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're looking for a 3D PC Platformer then look no further. This is THE game you are looking for. Its better than Croc 2 and has much better camera positioning. It has a less kiddies feel to it than Croc 2 also.
- The hallway tubes in the Down the Tubes level are terribly animated. I'm referring to the tube hallways you walk through as you pass those big armed, punch-happy enemies- NOT the tube race portions of the level. It's in the way the tubes constantly wobble up and down in a pitiful attempt to give the player a tacky underwater effect. It doesn't work as a result of the limitations of the Genesis hardcore no less. In the Super NES version, these tubes stay in place. The sunken ships in the backgrounds instead realistically move up and down in the Super NES resembling what a ship does in the ocean. That's what this version is *trying* to imitate with the wavy/wobbly tubes, but it doesn't look as believable.
Game begins in thrash horror-hellraiserish environment but I wouldn't call it a horror RPG. Sure, there are scary elements but there are also extremely humorous parts, although game is more serious than Arcanum,which is prank-based. Story has both phylosophical and absurd humour aspect, since in all games you have limited life points and here, you are immortal trying to fid out about himself.
Don't let those comparisons prevent you from buying this game though. In an industry with so many good games to buy,comparison will really get into the way of buying an enjoyable game. Buy this before buying FFVIII and FFIX, because it's much easier to learn and it will be a nice introduction to how final fantasies on PS work.
Shinobi III goes back to the gameplay of 'Revenge' and gives us more of the same only with improved graphics (great stuff for a simple 16-bit Genesis) and different locations. A rather cool horseback and surfboard level is included too. We also get a new climbing ability, which is quite cool. And the bad guys still explode when you kill them, for some reason.
The Baseball Boys
5349 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When it comes to the Playstation there are games that have improved when they were remade for the Playstation 2 and there are games that look and play far better in the Playstation 1 version and Tetris Plus is one of them. Unlike Tetris Worlds where you may get different modes of the game it didn't feel like I got as much to offer or only so much of the feel of Tetris when I tried this game for myself. On the other hand Tetris Plus had the more colorful classic mode, the puzzle mode with 100 different puzzles not to mention the option to create and try your own puzzles and the vs. mode to test your skills against another player and all had the exact feel and challenge of tetris as I remembered it. If you want a tetris game for your Playstation this is by far still the better choice.

As you explore and interact with the world you learn more about what's going on with this planet called Na Pali. Apparently the native people are called the Nali and they've been enslaved by an alien race called the Skaarj. The Nali are extreme pacifists and I can't help but think their designers wanted them to be Buddhists for the most part. The Skaarj on the other hand are the main enemy of the game, though not the only enemy creatures you'll face. They are a warrior race that pretty much takes over wherever it sees fit. You'll notice that the Skaarj design is clearly influenced by Predator. They have a humanoid lizard design and have a mouth design that looks just like that of a Predator. To brandish even MORE similarities they also have energy weapons and steel double claws attached to their arms. As you can see this isn't very original. Another part that is kind of unoriginal/strange is the Nali castles that you come across. They are clearly living in what we would term a medieval level society versus the Skaarj who have high grade technology. Strangely you come across large castles that look like they're straight out of thirteenth century England. I know... strange for a race of pacifists. Despite all this, those parts are some of the most fun to play through. I loved going into the castles and running around!
7786 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When Mortal Kombat 1 was released on the arcades nearly a decade ago, it immediately became a HUGE hit. It was so realistic, and the hand-to-hand combat style was so extreme. The game also centered around controversy due to the incredibly unique violent content. Fans anxiously awaited for the game's arrival on home video game consoles. When it was released to the Super Nintendo, fans wasted no time purchasing it. However, the happy fans were quickly disappointed when they discovered Mortal Kombat to be edited. Thanks to Acclaim and Nintendo, this game has NO blood & guts! The fatalities are edited and toned down. The blood has been changed to sweat. MK fans were ripped off and very angry about the censorship in the game. At least the Sega Genesis version of MK had a blood code. The Super Nintendo version plays a lot like the arcade hit. The graphics, sound, music, and animation play equivelant to the arcade. But without the bloody violence and original fatalities, it's just not the same. This is still an okay fighting game though, which is why I gave it two stars instead of one. Too bad it's so old. I could do without it. MK II and MK III are a heck of a lot better. Don't waste your money on this. Rent it if you can.
9262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a game I was introduced to back in 1996, after it came out, at a friend's house. It is put together a lot like Secret of Mana, graphics and all. It has the same item ring design, and the characters are similar. The music, like Mana's, is one thing I remember the most about this game; I find it to be haunting, though I can't put it on equal footing with Secret of Mana. For one thing it is a single-player game. You can't play it with a friend, and the story is not quite as deep. It's actually predictable. You can assume from the beginning the boy is going to go home. All in all, though, it is still one of my all-time favorite games from this period in my life.
But you know what? The folks at Jupiter still figured out how to make the theme work. The Pokeball is your ball, and several Pokemon play roles of obstacles. You know the drill: Use the flippers to knock the ball around the table to score as much as you can by having your (Poke)ball knock into things or other Pokemon. The physics might not be totally accurate, but it's not easy to notice. In fact, I think the pinball feel is pretty unique, thanks to the Rumble feature the game borrows from the Nintendo 64's Rumble Pak. You can really feel the action going on, and surprisingly, I can't think of another pinball game that does this.
I hope they make another sequal in the future RAMPAGE 3 which takes place in iraq or something like that well that would be mean I guess if they do that...ALL IM SAYING IS THEY SHOULD MAKE ANOTHER SEQUAL! It's bin to long.
And Finally The gameplay makes you feel like A soldier of Fortune, not a Infinate strength grunt. You play this game alone, there is no help from a partner (in the Single player). Also you can have only a number of Guns in your back pack and a number of items. Plus there are many different factors on the skill levels. each level is progressivly harder. And then there is the Sound issue. If you shoot rockets at everyone won't they notice? well not in most games. but in the hardest two difficulties you will notice you have to try to be quiet (which is hard but possible) That is what makes this game, the innovation in Gameplay. Look beyond the Blood and see innovation which have never been done before....thanks.
1) Infiltrate the base
But like the ratings I gave it, this is a 5-star game and should be fun throughout the ages. Besides, it stars the arguably best (and best female) video game character to date. Go for it!!
All in all starcraft is a fine release by blizzard. A classic game of its time that even today has thousands and thousands of players on them game at a time. Hope you go and buy it cause it's really cheap now and it's good!!!
This game will keep you entertained for hours. I'm glad I found the game cheap, but this game is WORTH the full price, unlike many other games currently being sold.
The story is very real with characters that respond like in real life. For example, I was playing a quarter of the way through the game, where we (Cloud, other dude, a couple other of Cloud's friends) had to walk up many flights of stairs to the top of this monstrously tall building---Cloud's friend gets tired of going up the whole stairway, "how much longer do we have to go". That was when Cloud had to face another chaotic enemy, this time on the exterior elevator--hey it's challenging, but at least you get a good view of the city from a 1,000 feet up!.....Another instance is where, in this large scientific industry, Cloud falls off a bridge (not a bridge, just an overpass to walk on), 500 feet up in the air, with his girlfriend shouting for help---a very great movie sequence that I recall vividly.
4. Fun-This game is a 99.8 fun game, in my opinion of course. I am stuck on the Deku tree of how to get past the spiders. See, challenging, and fun!
Good news. The characters are varied and this together with the materia system allows for a wonderful amount of customization and different play styles. The characters themselves, while definitely cliche, have decent back-stories and fairly strong characterization. I've heard a lot of complaints about character angst in this game, but I think those complaints are exaggerations and what angst is there matches the story and characters well. The plot itself is solid and has plenty of twists. The combat system works. I say it's complicated and unintuitive, but it functions well and allows experimentation with different tactics. Most importantly, there isn't a single algorithm for success; there are a variety of viable strategies for combat. Most sidequests are fun, and while you don't need the sidequest rewards to beat the game, those prizes are often quite powerful but not overpowered. This is nice as said sidequests neither feel like fluff/padding nor only masquerading as optional. The net result is that the game rewards exploration and experimentation. An additional nice touch is that grinding is, on the whole, unnecessary. The cut scenes are well done, always convey something relevant, and never overstay their welcome.
Toward the end, I did find it necessary to go to a walkthrough online. The puzzles became to some degree inhibitive rather than contributing to the game experience. Once solved (by cheating a little), the storyline and graphics were rewarding enough for me to forgive myself my indiscretion. The final puzzle, I must agree with other reviewers, is unnecessarily convoluted and the end is rather seriously truncated. In this way, I was a little disappointed.
2: Complete expandability. You can create not just your own maps and campaigns, but units and weapons, which completely turn the tide and tactics of war. It becomes realistic in the way of real war where it becomes a technology race, you build one weapon and they build a counter for it and so forth. I have my units modified to be actual military units like the F14, the British Aircraft Carrier Arc Royale, XM-29 Joint Fighers, B52s and so forth.
Mario Kart 64 is addicting with four players, and it can be addicting with one player too. The Time Trials may be a little disappointing, but the Mario GP had me coming back for more.
I'm one of those that was completely sold on the Dreamcast. I'd never been more excited about a console and never have since. This was the console that finally would give us arcade quality games in our homes. I remember when I first saw 'Ready to Rumble' up and running. I just couldn't believe how good it looked and how fun it was to play. After looking at jagged and pixelated PS1 games for so long, it was a sight for sore eyes, literally. That game alone sold me on the system.
6857 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very happy with this game more happy about how fast it came to us and how well it had benn taken care of
Let me tell you, this is a serious GAME! Six CD's of it! You have to do some serious character generation and a lot of preparation before you get going. As stated by other reviewers, your characters die at the drop of a hat in the early parts - no wonder people resort to cheating when your characters start off so weak and so poor. I ended up doing a few early quests and importing my character (which imports with gained experience intact!), loaded up with as many arrows as I could carry and started again at Level 3. That meant Imoen was Level 4 when we met, and we could start kicking some butt.
9882 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was mildly irritated when Sonic 3 ended, or should I just say "stopped"? The game pretty just closed with a black screen and no sequence. Sonic & Knuckles is the true end, but not before spinning through 5 more levels and yet another confrontation with Robotnik on the Death Egg.
Personally i think this game should have had a new game+ function (where you can go through the game again with stats, materia, items ect. But maybe if Square gets a remake going they'll throw that function in. Only because i never get tired of this game & its one game that does deserve a remake.
4681 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I admit it. I didn't purchase this when it first came out. I looked at the screenshots, I read the reviews, but I didn't think the game was for me. I was into shooters...I couln't be bothered with these so called R-P-G's. Then the price dropped below 20...and my computer gaming was never the same. This is by far one of the best computer rpg's that i ever played. The character options were so vast...the companions were plentiful, and the weapons were totally awesome. I spent a good 60+ hours with this game, and even then, once I was finished...I started another character and played it again. No other game had that kind of power over me. If you still haven't played this game...get it now. There are even user-made upgrades that improve the graphics if you have the sequel. This is one game that should be in everyone's collection.
9999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like it.
Those who just pass up the Dreamcast because of Sega's past image are missing out on a treat. Happy Halloween, gamers. Go buy this system while there are still ones on the shelf. Pick up Sonic and Soul Calibur while you're at it. Good gaming.
There are four characters to choose from : two chicks, a big giant and the handsome one. They each have their own moves but have serious shortcomings. Smasher can take a lot of damage and deal it too; but he's slow as a mule. Hawk is a decent fighter but is open to a lot of hits. Alana and Mace are both quick (alana moreso) but are weak and fragile.
8902 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is my least favorite game in the franchise. (Pinball does not count.) The lack of a map and annoying Chozo Ruins music severely limit the enjoyment. HOWEVER, I do reccommend playing the 1st area of this game and then playing the AM2R demo. You will not believe the difference. I can't wait for AM2R. GOD BLESS MILTON GUASTI!!!!!!!!!!
9714 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 AFTER PLAYING "40 WINKS" I REALIZE THE TRUE POWER OF... WHAT THE PS1 CAN REALLY CREATE. THESE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. THE MAKERS OF THIS GAME TOOK THEIR TIME IN MAKING IT. AND THERES NO EXCUSE FOR THE MANY CHOPPY, GLITCHY TITLES THAT THE PS1 HAS PRODUCED. DON'T GET ME WRONG THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF QUALITY GAMES FOR PS1. IT JUST MAKES ME MAD KNOWING THAT ALOT OF GAMES COULD'VE LOOKED AS GREAT, IF THEY WEREN'T RUSHED. AS FOR THE GAME PLAY, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, IF YOU ENJOY THE GENRE AS I DO. BOTTOM LINE: LUSH GRAPHICS, GOOD GAME PLAY, NICE SOUND AND STORY.
1952 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The second instalment of the classic Resident Evil series remains the biggest and the best. With four missions it is a massive game and each scenario adds its fair bit of challenge. The ending to the B scenario is mind-blowing, absolutely brilliant. There is a superb plot and it is great the way that the two scenario's (i.e. Leon A & Claire B) run parallel to each other and fit in with the storyline. Some people say that this is a bit short but when you finally complete all four scenario's on easy and hard mode then you will truly appreciate the challenge that this game has to offer. There are extra games such as the HUNK and TOFU scenario that add even more depth and challenge to an already massive game. The police station gives a very atmospheric setting to the game and the new batch of monsters can also give you a hard time. This is a landmark game for the Playstation and the whole Resident Evil series is fantastic. Hopefully, this quality of gaming can continue onto the Playstation 2.
5) Unique Items: The game is packed full of unique items that can be pretty hard to get a hold of. From weapons to characters, there are all kinds of things to track down. If you look through a strategy guide, you will be amazed to see the reems of info on stuff you can go on side quests to get.
Overall, a terrible clone attempt at Diablo that should make Eidos ashamed...and let's not even bring up Dikatana, okay?
~Minigun-A gun that is very weak, but shoots out like 50 bullets in 2 seconds!

5551 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How do I explain this game? Quake has always been the best PC game series for me, and Quake II has the best singleplayer game in the series(Quake III Arena had the best multiplayer). I remember when me and my buddy Daniel would play this game non-stop (we even beat the game together)! I remember always using the Railgun to blow enemies' heads off! If you're looking for a good PC game that combines blood and gore, awesome online play, amazing mods, cool weapons, a kick-ass soundtrack, and an awesome campaign, Quake II is for you!
Gameplay: 3/10
Worst Flaw: Well, it would be nice if Tawna hadn't suddenly disappeared. I think she should've been crucial to the entrtie series, not just the 1st game.
All told, though, the gripes are far outweighed by the quality of the game. Yes, this game is a classic for a reason. If you have ever played an RPG and liked it, give FF-VII a try. I did, and now I'm a believer.
7204 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good buy
3480 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like the direction Sega took memory cards. At the time I really thought it was the future of controllers and memory cards. I might've been half right I guess. I would give this item a five star if it weren't for one thing that I really don't blame Sega for. It uses a lithium battery and for some reason mine always seemed to die before I even noticed. It's too bad Sega had some good ideas that were just harder to execute at the time.
Now while this game has some flaws, its still a good game overall, its not as good as the second and third game, but its definitely fun and enjoyable. The creativity is good, has a good challenge and the graphics are fantastic. If you have a PlayStation Network account, give this game a chance, its only $6 on the PlayStation Store so its not expensive or anything. Its definitely a classic.
If you go in expecting a conventional Mario title, you will be disappointed. But for those looking for an excellent, engrossing platformer starring everyone's favorite Mario dinosaur, you will not be disappointed.

The graphics, while I'd prefer them 3-D not 2-D, are still very good for a game that was made in the 1990s and I would never want them taken away for that reason
Some of the levels are really strange. The mine cart levels are gone, and in their place are levels involving these platforms that you ride. These are quite possibly the hardest stages in the game, especially this one you will encounter later on where you have to jump in the air in order to make the platforms move in the direction you desire. You'll see what I mean here when you play the game.
- Everything is too programmed. You figure out right away that eventually you can hit your opponent twice on the ground before they get up and finishing moves don't mean your opponent will stay down like they should. I did a 3-way match and dropped about a million diamond cutters on them and they get up right away.
5387 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Five Stars. Very fun game!
I have used the controller for other games as well. And even though some the games are not able to use the shock-function the controller is very good anyway.
of each other, they cause the result to look just like the sample.
The only fault with the graphics are the on screen characters which are too cartoony. Apart from that though, the graphics are brilliant, the music is one of the best soundtracks ever and the gameplay and lifespan are both excellent. Defenitly worth the money. Buy it now.
You have to collect rings throughout the level to stay alive. If you get hit while you have rings, you lose all your rings, but if you get hit without any rings, you die. If you collect 100 rings, you get an extra life. If you have at least 50 rings by the end of a level, you can jump into a giant ring that takes you to the Special Stage.

4691 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Symphony has been rated one of the greatest games of the Playstation era. Personally I've been playing this game for almost 20 years and still will find new things. This is a must buy game. If you can find an original non-greatest hits version get that. Put this game in the same category of greatness as MGS1 or FF7.
9887 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Everything about it is good. The characters, storyline, gameplay, audio, sound FX, all of them are excellent!! The graphics are very good for a Saturn port. If you want to play a non-Square RPG, give this a shot.
5 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I'm an avid gamer, but Anno 2070 is an INSULT to gaming. It is so buggy and half-finished that the first campaign doesn't even work properly and the DRM is INCREDIBLY frustrating to deal with.
The great thing about the first Pac-Man World is that the developers were able to mix new style game play in with classic elements to create a game that new players and seasoned pros alike could enjoy. The multiple new mazes playable feel like a blast from the past, while the platforming levels that make up the bulk of the game explored what was then new ground in a consistantly entertaining way. The game established moves for Pac-Man that would carry over into two enjoyable sequels and featured plenty of old favorites like pac-dots, fruit, and those pesky ghosts in new and exciting settings. It also established Pinky as female, before all ghosts were assumed to be guys. (Except for Sue, of course.)
7881 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this was a pretty good game. i don't like one shooter games but this one bit the dust. it was entertaining and it wasn't dull. this is a pretty good game. i recomend it to the gamer in you.
Add in the terrorist hunt option (for those people who just want to kill things and not worry about irritating hostages), and this game has massive replayability.
7172 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect!
7264 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had this game for many years and it doesn't get old! The graphics are great on the Genesis and there is a load of different environments to fight in. There is even a level where you fly above the city in attack hang gliders. I would definitely pick up this game if your a Batman fan or love the old Genesis games, a must have for any serious gamer! :-)
2 - Multiplayer sims: As I said before, you can choose the difficulty and even type of sim you'd like to face. From meat - perfect, and even Venge sim, peacesim, and fistsim, amoung many others.
5968 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is simply a superb game, and is very stable (don't listen to those who have said it does not run, it has more to do with their machine than with the game). Anything I did not like about the first has been changed in this game, like the ability to run, this is a god send.
You get your pick from four forgettable crime fighters: pixie-pig-tailed Alana, gruff Hawk, leather-pants-wearing "Look at me, I'm Nabiki Tendo" Mace, and prison inmate Smasher. They're out to get a psychopath who believes the world should have ended at the beginning of 2000 A.D. and is now determined to make that happen. Maybe he should have waited through the other 23 times it turned New Years day across the world.
7542 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The adventure game is a lot of fun. It is a decent challenge, and there is a lot to do. When you finish the four worlds, you may think that you are done, but there is a secret space world hidden in the....There are two secret characters to find (Drumstick and T.T.) In order to get Drumstick, you must run over.... , and to get T.T. you have to.... in the Time Trial Mode. The characters and plot are great, as well as the special weapons,the multiplayer challenges (You can play by yourself in them too), the secret codes, the fact that you must defeat every boss and level twice with two kinds of challenges, the fact that you can use ..... and...... instead of just cars, the secret challenges, and other surprises. There is also a special second adventure mode where the courses are........ and the coins are hidden in spots you won't expect to find them...... There is also your basic tracks mode where you can play any unlocked level with any unlocked character or vehicle with up to four players.

6534 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another great set
As with most Survival Horror titles this game packs an awkward control style that is even more devistating to the overal game than the RE control because the camera moves as though it were stalking you, a cool effect that is hindered by the horrible control set up, a problem that was adjusted in the PS2/Xbox sequel "Restless Dreams". Aside from this complaint the game is brilliant and every horror fan should pick this title up. However, this game is NOT for kids, nor is it for the weak in stomach and faint of heart. It takes a strongh stomach and even stronger will power to get through this game. I don't care how strong you think you are this game will scare you.
2. In The game, you need to review crew status, mission briefings ,etc. well so far I can not view these, do to they don't appear while in the game.
7631 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great. brought back great memories.
This game was voted one of the worst fighting games for a reason. No need to waste your time on this when there are far superior games released on the SNES with much better plots and controls.
The CONS: By now, some people may feel the "been there, done that" feeling as you'll be doing the same thing (beating enemies, collecting items, finding secrets.) This game doesn't bring anything new so you better be okay with that. Otherwise, you'll get bored pretty fast.
Each fighter has their own special moves and abilities to crush other fighters with. Their moves are not hard to learn, so you can get pretty good at the game in a relitively short time.

4469 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft: Brood War is twice as better than the origonal! Zerg Lurkers can tear up anything, while Devoureres devistate the air! The new dark Archon, that comes from the Dark Templar is sweet, and I love taking over the oppenents units. The Corsiar is fast and terrifying. The medic become prime targets, because they stop their units from dying, and the units keep killing mine. The graphics are sweet. The sound is awsome. The unit pathfinding isn't that good, like most games, but it's better than what it was. All in all, bargian at any price, and it deserves 10 stars. Buy it!
BAD:
3717 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Star Ocean 2 is an excellent game that did not get as much attention as it deserved... but, I suppose that's a blessing in its own way since it kept the prices down and allowed me to get it extremely cheap.
1088 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unless you've been living in a box your whole life, chances are you've heard about what an incredible game this is. Nay, I will go as far as to say perfect. Even if you haven't grown up with the Zelda series, you're still likely to find this game quite enjoyable. It's safe to say that this game was nothing short of revolutionary, and it continues to be one of my favorite video games of all time.
3087 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow, the reviews here run the gamut; while I am not surprised to see many bad reviews (sometimes, I think that people are just feeling spiteful, as I myself have another incarnation that does the same thing), it is odd to read such statements as "This is destined to be the most disappointing RPG ever" (and forgive me for ruining your writing for the sake of comprehensiblilty). FFVII was released in 1997, became possibly the best-selling RPG ever, has been lauded by most critics for years, and this is 2004. I think the ship of destiny has sailed.
Graphics- 9/10
- voice-overs and sound track are pretty good
8286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Never knew this game came out for the SNES- plays just like the older comic books, great game, just wish I had a manual to come with it.
3138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let's face it--Final Fantasy VII got the whole thing started again. Back in the old days of 8-bit consoles and Commodore 64s, when Apple computers wasn't nerd-speak for "I don't know how to run my machine," RPGs were a very narrowly targeted genre with little flavor or flash in them, and as the consoles outpaced the appeal of the text based, graphics poor style, they started to fall out of favor. It was this game that opened the door for the whole next generation of RPGs and brought the genre into the mainstream, and this game did all those things for very good reasons.

+ a great story reworked, a great improvment over the original
4617 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This sequel to Vigilante 8 has taken a backseat to the first and gone way downhill, crashing into burning flames and leaving nothing but a huge wreck. And instead of rating it high and then commenting on how much I want to play this game, or complain about it not being delivered, I'm actually reviewing the game from having actually played it!!!
It borrowed a lot, including its basic battle system, from Tactics Ogre (many of the staff also worked on that game). Its story, however, is radically different from TO, though equally interesting. FFT's tale of political upheaval and ancient magic suffers from a poor translation, but the craftsmanship of the plot manages to shine through.
8291 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have written a review about this game years ago in bad taste, so I have come back to give this game a fairer review.
8855 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been a big fan of the Civilization series from the first time I played the first one on a bunch of floppy disks for a computer not even made any more. I've played every Civilization game made from the first one all the way to the various expansions of Civilization III and this game STILL holds the mark of excellence to what a great strategy and over all fun game are supposed to be. I remember when this game came out. It was the ultimate edition of Civilization. Everything the first was but so much more. Everything was fine tuned and perfected. Great sound effects and music as well as some nice little extras. Plus lots of additions never before seen in the Civilization series. Where as Civilization III took away a lot that made the series a lot of fun, this added so much more then the first had and truly made for an enjoyable experience that is still as much fun to this day. Far superior to anything else to ever hold the Civilization name and easily is still the top of the top as far as Turn Based games go.
3071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was by far my favorite RPG game! all the other final fantasies and others are good but this one just blew me away! the graphics may not be the best but the touching and unforgettable storyline makes up for that. the characters are soo cool and if someone tried to improve this game it would be
14. The absurd anti-nuclear message at the game's finale.
The rides are great and there are no bugs that I have seen. The add on pack is great and there are hundreds of extra rides etc at the web site. The best is an Alton Towers scenario which is so similar to the real thing! This is a hughely addictive game. I bet if you start playing it you won't stop til you finish! If you like any sim management game then buy this one!
Also, there is no giant screen where you can save. You have to find the bonus platform, and make it all the way through the bonus part to save. Happen to fall through the cracks on the bonus? Sorry! You're just going to have to hope you don't die or else you'll have to repeat EVERYTHING. OVER. AGAIN.

My purchase came with a near flawless copy of Grandia, with only minor scuffs on the CD.
Our only complaint has to do with item placement - if you raise and then lower a piece of land, it double-charges you for each phase of the change. There isn't really an undo feature, so if you make a mistake (which can be easy, sometimes) there is no simple way to just go back to your previous state. With blocks of land easily hid behind other blocks (despite their many view options), you often have to lower whole regions of land simply to "get to" the blocked one, wasting hundreds of dollars.
Don't let the 4 stars deter you at all. S&K is certainly one of the most memorable Sonic games of all, and if you liked Sonic 3, then I see no reason for you NOT to like this one. As a whole, Sonic 3 & Knuckles deserves its full 5 stars, so whether you want to find their original carts, or just play them on PC or the new Sonic Mega Collection, find them any way you can because these are some of the best 2D games that defined an age of gaming. GOTTA JUICE!
And now, the drawbacks:
8252 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 First of all, Here are the PROS and CONS
The gameplay is rediculously addictive. The materia gems were a good idea. Being able to fit elemental materia to weapons and armor allowed for great flexability. Combo certain materia together and your charachter could attack from two to eight times in one turn. The junction system in FF 8 is based on the materia system. Those who perfer 8 over 7 should compare and see that they are in fact fairly similar. Changing materia in mid-battle would have been nice in case of an attack that heals instead of hurting, takes one or more members of the attack team out of action.
The main character only has one weapon and a few items which most of which repeat themselves in a pattern throughout the entire game.
6823 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan stays true to the once popular cartoon series and comic books. Each of the turtles are playable and all of their major enemies have been included. Increasing your life meter can be done by grabbing the turtles' favorite food, pizza. Gameplay is better than average. Each turtle has their appropriate weapon. Every weapon has the same power so the longer weapons of Leonardo and Donatello are the most useful. One button is used for attack and the other for jumping. Jumping seems a bit tight, meaning you can't get too far on a jump. Jumps are best used to go straight up to avoid enemies or making a hop on to the next step up. One other attack is done by crouching and pressing the attack button. This will throw a shuriken. Levels are broken down into stages. When you lose a turtle on a level and have others left you will be brought back to the beginning of the stage you were last on. No continues are offered so you will have to make it through without losing all 4 turtles. Before each level or when a turtle goes down you have the option of selecting another. It is probably best to begin the game with either Raphael or Michaelangelo so you can have the guys with longer weapons for the more difficult levels.
The second game is a cinema quality live action game with actors. I was highly impressed at the acting skills Sierra had managed to recruit and how involved the gameplay was.
5970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Possibly the best platform game on the Gameboy Color and in the top 10 best all time. 30 levels over 9 worlds, Rayman will keep you entertained for hours. Very challenging with varied and fun levels, with heaps of mini time games. And after you've finished the game you can choose your level and try to unlock all your toon friends. Great soundtrack too. Hope to see a sequel.
EIDOS: TAKE THE POWER BACK!
The chao garden in this game is easily the most far removed from the other 3 versions (in SA2, SA2B, and SADX). The others have cute, snuggly, happy chao whose lives are only miserable if your torture them. You know what you're doing with your chao and accidents are rare. Not the case in this game. Every chao is born as an adult, and will very quickly kill itself if you don't do something soon. Their movements, like most of the game, are very bouncy. I dare say this is the bounciest thing in any major-release game I've ever seen, actually. It's almost a high-speed environment with a visible difficulty level.
The characters look kind of silly (esp Yoshi and Peach who look like circus rejects)but i don't think the purpose of playing a mario game (or any decent video game) is to see hunks and babes.
First person shooter (fps) is the name given to 3D games in which you are looking thru the player eyes. You see your weapon (and a big variety here) and the game world in front of you (and an amazing variety of levels here too). UT takes a cue from multiplayer-type games and brings human-like intelligence into your computer. The computer players act like real people so you don't even have to own a modem to enjoy the multiplayer experience. However, many fans of UT swear by it's multiplayer element, which I must say, is the best in the business. On or offline we're talking about a game that has claimed 2 of my mice (er, mouses...er, mices...oh bugger!).
4025 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really enjoyed this classic FPS. Hardcore gamers won't be disappointed. i highly recommend purchasing. Graphics are great, story-line is solid (and not so short) , audio is excellent and the price is right.
2688 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best used controller I have bought in my hunt. The stick worked great as well as all the buttons. I am very happy with this. Thank you so much.
Overall, this game is a MUST BUY, for veterans of the pencil & paper Vampire, and for PC gamers looking for a solid RPG. Here's hoping that the upcoming Werewolf: The Apocolypse Heart of Gaia is as good as this!
The graphics and animation transfer well from the NES counterpart and we get to fight four bosses from the first game. After you defeat them, you fight four from Mega Man 2 (this cycle continues and ends at Mega Man IV.). The music was also good, some of them new including the Wily stages. It's also interesting to see a change on the bosses; examples: Cut Man's nastier and Elec Man is tamer, Fire Man's weapon is good against Quick Man, and so forth. And may I also state that the game is reasonably difficult... not "kick you in the [...] and make you love it" difficult like the first Mega Man for NES, but certainly not an easy venture. Capcom also created an extra boss specifically for this game: Enker. He's one of my FAVORITE robotmasters ever created. His weapon may seem useless, but... well, you'll figure it out. One last thing: YOU'LL LOVE THE ENDING.
Gameplay (score 7/10): This is a bit of a catch-all category for me. One thing of note is that the menu system was a bit confusing, at least for me. I really felt that it was needlessly complicated and I never quite got the hang going through it quickly. It's rather annoying having every party member have their own "equip" menu when you could just have one big "equip" option, and then just select a character from there. I also hated having to physically put equipment in the person's hand before I could equip it. It would've been better to just let me select a person, and then have every available piece of equipment in inventory for them pop up in a list. Shuffling items from Nall's inventory to each individual character's inventories is a pain, especially if their inventory is full, and you have to move items out first. Well, anyway, also of note is the leveling system. Bosses are always the same level as Alex is, but regular enemies all have their own preset levels. This means that you must strike a delicate balance between under-leveling and over-leveling. I really liked this feature since it kept you from having to level grind all the time. Also, enemies appear onscreen--so there are no random battles, which is awesome. Overall, the gameplay is very smooth and enjoyable, especially for an older game.
4678 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know, I blame everything on Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk. Had they remained on track as physicians, seeing sick patients all week and spending their evenings working late and catching up on paperwork instead of abandoning their glamorous clinical life to found BioWare, then they would have never developed Baldur's Gate. And then I would have been blissfully happy, because not only was Baldur's Gate the first RPG I played in its entirety from beginning to end, it was also my gateway drug into the genre.
486 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are a fan of TR you're gonna love to have this one in your collection!! The graphics are better though on the pc version...
7304 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so cool. It is just like GoldenEye except newer and better. It also has more guns and more levels. It has better graphics and has more features. I would deffinately buy this game. Also you need to have an Expansion Pack to play the full version, so buy one.
7770 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I say about A Link to the Past that hasn't already been said? You get to explore that world as you choose, opening up more areas to explore as you clear dungeons and find upgrades. Once you have beaten all dungeons in the first world, the Golden Land opens, a shadowy counter part to the normal world. Once you gain the ability to flip between the two worlds as you choose you gain access to even more secret locations and areas to explore. This game features more dungeons than any other Zelda game, and a large repertoire of weapons and gadgets give you plenty of options for combat and terrain traversal.
4550 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game was great , I recommend it for anybody looking to do some classic gaming on ps1 .
6606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is definately a must buy for people who enjoyed Final Fantasy II and III on the SNES. Final Fantasy Anthology includes both Final Fantasy V (never before released in the USA) and Final Fantasy VI (III on the SNES) as well as a music cd that includes music selections from both of the games.
Roller coaster tycoon lacks flashy graphics, but the sounds are amazing. The scream of the people on the roller coaster, the zoom of the go-karts, the ca-ching sound of making money, the boom of the thunder when it rains in your park. The game has a simple yet specific money management, though it is frustrating to wait to collect money to fund your next project- a typical drawback of many simulations. Another cool thing is the actually designing of a roller coaster, which is like an art, choosing the turns, drops, loops, etc. The only drawback is that just the slightest drop, and the ride gets a rating of "Ultra-Extreme" and nobody will dare to ride it. Each guest can be clicked on to examine what foods/drinks he's bought, or what rides, how much money, or even how happy he is. The game is very addictive and definetly deems a reccomendation from me. All simulation fans or Sim City fans will definetly love this game, and it is very easy to learn to play. I even think this video game has an educational value, with the finance and money managing, and construction skills. It is a game that will appeal to people ages 10-100. Definetly get this game!
The characters I liked the best were Gon, Jin and Law. Gon is great because he's small and the taller character's kicking or punching always misses. Jin is strong overall, and my friend's nephew said that he's the best person in the game if you know how to control him. I can control him well, and demolished my opponent in 20 seconds (we were using the 50 second time limit in the 2 player mode). Law is a great kung-fu type of fighter and he kicks well. It's fun plotting the same kind of characters against each other - like Gon against Gon or Jin against Jin.
Sound: ***** (Sound effects are recycled from the PSone game, BUT, the music was totally redone, and that is one of the biggest parts of this game)
4533 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Came quickly and well-packaged. It looked nice and had a nice box.
8158 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i thank you god for most this amazing game
The game play is astonishingly compelling, especially after the first 4-5 hours of play while you are orienting yourself with the many possibilities of the interface.
The only place where D3 suffers is the in-game music. It's boring, lifeless and worse, it sounds like the music we listened to in computer games a decade ago. That is also not to say D2's Skinny Puppy or Type O Negative was any better, I guess because it was an industrial setting (a mine) they assumed that we'd want to hear industrial music. Wrong! (And I like industrial). I found myself turning the music off and reaching for a Star Wars soundtrack to plop in my CD player to accompany the game. Beyond that I have little to complain about. This is a top notch game as far as game play, visuals and sound effects are concerned. It's got a break neck pace at times, while at others it's slow-paced which can get really creepy until the first robot jumps you and you wet your undies in shock.
In the game you get to talk to people that you seen before in the moives and other video games.
Where the game really fails is the gameplay. Shadows tries to include many different modes of play, and not all of them work. The snow speeder level is a classic, as it inspired the game Rogue Squadron; the speeder bike chase is rather cool, as is the fight with Boba Fett. However, in other areas of the game, your craft is stationary and all you are required to do is shoot. It's not much different from the Super Nintendo Star Wars games, and the simplistic gameplay can only entertain for so long. Then there is the first-person levels, which unfortunately make up the bulk of the game. Though the game has multiple view modes, Dash is easiest to control in the first-person mode, but the player won't even see the tip of Dash's gun, as is customary with all shooters. There is no target reticle, making aiming irratic. The levels are too big and empty, and are too straightforward. It's a simple matter to walk from point A to point B, with few surprises. You'll find yourself rushing through most of the game to get to the better levels, but unfortunately they're few and far in between.
5503 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This classic platform fighting game takes a little time to get used to on the Nintendo 64 controller, but none the less a good game for it's time period.
The only drawback that I find with the thing is that it does need to be well-illuminated, otherwise you'll give yourself a migrane trying to see the tiny screen. But that aside, these babies are fun! My kids love them, I love mine, great fun all around. Go for it!
3475 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 looks good but it has no batteries for me to test the buttons but the screen works for games when in the controller
I was surprised how good the AI was. There are quirks and expolitable situations but I don't remember playing a game recently that had AI as good as WoT. The enemies are very agressive.
My suggestion? Wayt for a sequel or buy CIV 2!
I strongly recommend this game to anyone who plays video games. It's the perfect game for casual gamers, enthusiasts, or children (hopefully their parents are kind enough to introduce this gem to them before a Xbox 360). It'll provide you with hours of fun and is still one of the absolute best games for the SNES.
Gems: To get these, break all the boxes in the level. Sometimes you'll have to have earned a color gem to get a gem. 1 to 2 per normal level.
One thing I do like tho is this versions contains cheats you can input, and they are easy peazy to turn on and off. Code for invincibility, infinite combos, pretty much no AI and a couple of other things. That is one step up on the SNES version that I prefer, as it had 0 codes apart from random select.
All four 8-bit NES titles were completed in a three year period, 1985-1988 (and were published in Japan as well, though SMB2, there called SMB USA, came out in 1992).
This is not a game for everyone, I have met many people that found the setting and the story "too weird" or "too strange", although if found it very enjoyable, getting away from the average fantasy universe for a time.
COntrols are fluent enough and the menues are asy to scroll through.
The graphics of the second installment have taken a big step forward from the first game. Both the main characters and the creatures themselves move much more realistically this time around. Zombies will lunge when you get close, theyll stumble backwards when they take a couple bullets. Leon and Claire, as well, show the effects of the damage theyve taken. Both have three different methods of walking; an uninjured trot, a mildly harmed walk with an arm around their midsection, and a nasty limp, dragging their weapon behind them as they go. The more damage you take, the slower you move and the more likely you are to take additional hits. Every character, human and zombie, now comes fully equipped with an independently moving head, which locks onto the nearest moving object and follows it, staring, as it moves around the room.
328 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For people who still have a GameCube, but don't have a wireless controller (don't bother, you'll be disappointed because none of them come with the damn adapter,) these cords are fantastic. I can take my controller all over the house with them if I please, and they don't cause lag or short out to any degree I can tell. They're not shoddily-made and have lasted well so far. I'd buy them again.
Characters (10/10): Wow. Characters are excellently portrayed; they all have personalities and some kind of backstory. Even Yuffie. I mean, after playing a certain recent FF (12, cough), I've really come to appreciate the fact that no character in FF7 is just tacked on to the party (cough, FF12's Penelo, cough). Every single character has a backstory that's relevant or ties into the main story in some way.
After the T-Virus outbreak at the Mansion, Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy search what used to be Raccoon City for survivors and try to escape the city. This game was a huge improvement over the original Resident Evil. This is my 3rd favorite game of all-time.
The game contains all of the best gameplay while being intermixed with a good story. The levels are designed very well and never seem to "feel" the same way twice.
Edge master is just like Inferno except he doesn't have any "only him" moves. He is the master of weapons but not as powerful as Inferno. He is a old man who has a very long beard. His hair is either red or white depending on his costume.
- You'll have to get out of your vehicle constantly. Because the drivers of other vehicles just aren't smart enough to do the job themselves. You'll also have to do this to access the tactical map, the only way of ordering units around without actually driving there (by which time the units in question will have already been destroyed, too little, too late)
6411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Microsoft generally isn't the first company that you think of when you are looking for a strategy game. But after playing Age of Empires 2, you will definitely keep them in mind.
- There has been little attention payed by the creators to the background.
Except this one.
3217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know, the only reason I wanted Dreamcast was for this game. I didn't care for other games except this game. THIS GAME rockS!! The graphics are the best I have every seen and there are like 100 moves for each charator. The great thing about this is that you can unlock charactors after you have beaten the game with other charators. THere is also mission mode where you go on "small mission" and then you can unlock stuff like stages and special features There is practice mode which I find very useful because I can practice my moves without getting disturbed or attacked by other players. My personal favorite is Maxi because I luv the Nunchaku and the moves look so good and his moves are easy and powerful. My least favorite charactor is Yoshimitsu because he is weak and doesn't have very powerful attacks. I have the prima official strategy book and that tells be all the secrets about this awesome game. Let me tell you a little about the story line. THere was once a night of Cervantes and he had the soul Blade. He was a great Knight and ruled for many years until Taki and Sophita destroyed the(all these charators you can play in the game). So One day, a young german knight named Siegfried came across Cervantes body. THe body burst into flames and Siegfried is now Nightmare. You are trying to get the soul edge and deafeat inferno.
But on to game play...with the ability to play your character the way you want (good or evil) and to answer dialogue questions with truths, lies, or playing dumb, Torment will play different every time. Also in Character generation, Want to be a fighter? Gear up on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution. Want to be a Mage, Gear up on Intelligence, Wisdom.
Baddies all look the same.
5030 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 being the survivla horror fan I am, I have to start by saying that if you happen to see this at a discount store, or bargen bin, pick it up, and hold it close, as the game has become very rare in many areas of the world. This was Konami's answer to Capcom's Resident Evil, and still is one of the most popular horror games today. The game, unlike REsident Evil ,or many other horror games, chooses to scare you in a more mental, quiet sense (not to say resident evil is bad, I'm mearly saying SH and RE are very different form one another). The game is not for the faint of heart, or those with out a healthy ammount of patience, as the game focuses mainly on puzzle soving and exploration. although the graphics are dated by today's standards, this is easilly overlooked once you start playing. Although the game offers a fantasic story, and haunting atmosphere, I highly recomend Silent Hill 2 over the orrigional, as it has better controlls, smoother visuals, and an even better story. I have played many horror games, and believe me when I say that this one and it's sequels stand out amongst the rest, and shoud be added to any games collection. Silent hill is not a game to miss.
The side-stepping is almost ludicrously difficult. You have to tap the controller so lightly that taking a few simple steps to the side becomes impossible. I realize that, logistically, it would be difficult to find another way, but it does hamper your stride, particularly in the Tekken Force stage.
4399 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is good at first. It's also very challenging. But after you have played it for a while, it tends to get really boring.
***Gameplay***
The visuals are the best in the series and push the SNES to its apex in graphics but unfortunately the soundtrack is the games biggest blunder. David Wise is only partially responsible for the games soundtrack as the task has been composed almost completely by Eveline Fischer. The difference in musical style is astounding for the avid listener. All the synth, guitar, and electronic instrumentation are replaced by slower piano like riffs and ambient noises. She does steal a few melodies from Wise however, it's clear her major influence is the series original. This would have been a welcome contribution for a sort of level or world but collectively dilutes the games potential to be memorable. The soundtrack was scrapped completely in the GBA remake 9 years later, which was composed in entirety by David Wise and in my opinion is much more pleasing to hear than this. Fischer's version was meant to be included simultaneously in the GBA port but couldn't be included due to time and spatial constraints.
-Bonus game
The audio here is just as outstanding as any other aspect in this game. I'd go as far to say that this is one of the best sounding games on Genesis. From the clear melodies, full bass tones, and near-perfect approximations of the music score, this is easily one of the most memorable soundtracks in all of gaming. Even the original songs stand out in the sense that they don't stand out. They feel right at home. You could have told me that these original tracks were taken straight from the film and then composed and converted to the Genesis FM Synth hardware, and I would have absolutely believed you. They actually hold their own in comparison to Disney songs. They truly are that great. The sound effects fare just as well. The voice samples are outstanding, and even put some voice samples I've heard on the SNES to shame (which, for the record, honestly isn't as surprising as you would initially think. Voice samples in Genesis games can sound absolutely superior to SNES games, if placed in the right hands).
8073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The super mario world I know and love. A must have for anyone with a super nintendo. I strongly recommend!
As for the other features of the game, they're pretty outstanding. The levels are big and challenging. There's also secret levels in Crash. I've never seen anything like that in Sonic 1 or Donkey Kong, have you? No, I didn't think so. Crash's biggest flaw is the saving system. In the game, you must collect 3 tokens of Crash's girfriend's head (hidden in the level) to get to a bonus area. You must get to the end of the Tawna (Crash's girlfriend's name is Tawna) Bonus Round, touch Tawna (who's just standing there), and then exit the Tawna Bonus Round via a warp pad in order to save. If you don't do exactly what I said had to be done in order to save, you don't get to save. Not fair at all. But, it's still better then Sonic 1 or Donkey Kong, 'cause you can't save at all in those games. There are also two other kinds of bonus rounds in the game, The Cortex (main bad guy of the game) Bonus Rounds and the Brio (Cortex's right-hand man) Bonus Rounds. You can't save in these bonus rounds, even if you get to the end of them without falling off the platforms. Oh and get this, there aren't Tawna Bonus Rounds in all the levels, so you don't have a chance to save if your parents tell you to get off and you're in a level like Hog Wild where there's no bonus rounds. Big flaw. The 2nd biggest flaw is the way you have to collect gems. In the game you must collect 32 (I think; don't quote me on that number, because I'm not sure) gems in order to see the secret ending. However, it's a little too hard to collect them all. I understand most people think the game's not hard enough, but I think it's a little too hard. To collect a gem, you must destroy every single crate in a level and get to the end without losing a life. I'm all for destroying every crate, but I think you should be able to lose a life and still get the gem. It should only matter if you destroy all the boxes.
the game has 5 dificulty levels: very easy, easy, normal, hard and very hard. which makes the game more chalenging as you get better.
3339 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have a PS2 now, but this wuz my 1st PS1 game along with Crash Warped (5 stars), Buzz Lightyear (1 star), and that's all I remember. But even with the PS2, this game never ends and never gets boring (except the outer space levels and I recommend it even though it's for PS1, especially at the cheap price it's sellin' fo'.
1895 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Not boring, not geat either. I like how they have designed it and how good the graphics are but this isn't the best out of the three. I prefered the 2 nd most but really enjoyed the 3 rd too. If you are looking for a lot of adventure, try out this. BRILL.
9102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best game eve
1123 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A Good game comes along, entertaining millions of fans worldwide. Then, a year later another good game comes along and steals the fisrt ones place. Ever since the beginning of game history, every good game that came out eventually got replaced by a better game the next year. Since Sept. 98, that cycle has been broken, stopped by one game that never got replaced, even by it's sequals, nothing ever ended out better than Zelda: Ovarina of Time. This game has revolutionized 3D gaming with its Z-Target system. It has enchanted and bewildered people with its magnificant storyline. It has taken the lives of thousands of people because of all the side-quests and collectible items in it. This game, I am predicting, will probably still rain supreme until the next system comes out (The one after gamecube). Its Z-Targeting system makes Link (the main character) look at an enemy, within this looking, he can circle around it in stategic patterns, accurately aim and strike the sword without missing and hitting air a yard away, and eaily and quickly dodge and backflip attacks. Many games, even nowadays, imitate this system, but fail to get it as correct and perfect as Zelda did/does. The storyline starts off telling of a magical forest with many never-growing children in it. All these children have one compainon fairy with them, except one boy, who does not. Right from hearing this setence in the game for the first time, you know your in for an adventurous, complicated yet slightly realistic storyline that will take your life for at least a month. And, this game has many, many side quests to do. There are 100 special spiders to defeat and get treasures with, 50 magic beans to be planted and give a passegeway to unaccesible areas, 25 heart pecies to collect to get a whole lot of health with, 15 masks to sell and play around with, 6 empty bottles to collect, a chicken to rais, and a huge trading sidequest that eventually leads to the possesion of the strongest weapon in the game. And much more. This game also has the perfect sound to it. The cheerfull, happy nature of the magical forest can be perfectly heard in it's background music. The adventurous, wide and far meadows of hyrule feild are perfectly expressed in it's background song. The fast-paced and action-packed lives of the desert theives is clearly expressed in it's song. Everywhere you turn in this game, you are greeted with a new background song that sings perfectly the attributes and unique features of that place, and transations perfectly with whatever the player/link might be doing in that place. This game's sequal, Majoras Mask, suffered horribly from the lack of this. And the prevous games in the series didn't meet this either. One more thing though, I'll admit it to the world, I hate the main Zelda theme. I'm glad its not in Ocarina of Time, In a game that so clearly stands out with it's music, one old sounding, bland song that dosnt fir well with hyrule feild wouv'dv ruined the experience of going out of kokiri forest and seeing it for the first time. Oh, I forot to mention that part too, the game has a perfect attidude for adventure in it. The places are designed very well, and when mixed in with the fabulous background music, gives a feeling of adventure that is completely unparelled to any other game, whatsoever. The first moment you walk out of the small and cramped kokiri forest, which actually used to seem so big, onto the your first grasses of hyrule feild, the sun will blind the screen for a moment, and as rising, reveal this spectacular, wide open feild with a tuft of trees, a monstor here and there, a ranch in the middle, and a clear blue sky with a brightly shining sun. Along the feild, a rise in elevation starts, as you climb the hill, you can see even more than you could before, a magestic, huge catsle, a winding clear blue river, a deep valley, a menancing volcanoe, and a huge lake, along with a tuft of trees, and a monstor here and there. As you travel to new places, you will feel almost the exact same feeling of adventure too, when seeing the towering windmill of Kakariko village above the small, humble houses of the village below it, with the perfect backgrond music for example. With this great feeling of adventure, huge enviroments, much huger than even the ones of nowaday games, and a great storyline and absolutly stunning soundtrack, Ocarina of Time is the Greatest game of all time, until a greater game will come out, wich will probably take a very very long time. If you don't already own this game (Shame on you), you should buy it immediatly, and while waiting for it to ship, download an emulated version. Now. Or else.
It's another addicting puzzler that is as much fun as the original.
With games like the 2 Zeldas and Perfect Dark, the N64 was a very capable machine at delivering solid play though techwise it wasn't the most advanced but if you can track it down or even still have it, it's worth giving the game another go.
2939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 5 TOP GAME I HAVE PLAYED
This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. I still play Starfox 64 today, and it's just as much fun as when I got it 6 years ago. Everything seems perfectly tweaked and just right. A game for the ages.
I still get in my nightly game of Madden or BF3, but my N64 & Dreamcast still get a lot of use.
8165 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best of the series, a must try for fans of any megaman title.
The combat system is very unique and keeps you on your toes a lot more than your classic RPG. You also have a wide range of different powers at your disposal that give you a large choice of actions in each battle.
The story is pure crime noir with a technicolor twist, like Raymond Chandler meets Tim Burton. The plot Manny uncovers is convoluted, brilliant, deeply twisted, and diabolical like you've never imagined possible. It's also incredibly, unspeakably funny. Tim Schaefer is one absurd individual, make no mistake.
The bottom line: this is a very fun game to play, but there is one thing you might want to hear: Zero is not for beginners. His moves are much harder to learn. However, masters should challenge themselves playing it with Zero. If you enjoyed the first three (X3 is the best), then I highly recommend this.
4. Easy to hold. This is a very comfortable system. I can play this for hours. I cannot do that with a Gameboy or a Gameboy Advance.
If you unplug the system or leave it sitting for a long time, you have to set the day, month, year, time (military time). And it happens randomly.
213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product, as advertised
702 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Well its Goldeneye. I played this as a kid back when it was new. Just wanted to play it again years later lol. Not as good as it was in the 90s but still fun.
2701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 thank you so much i haven't played this game for a very long time and haven't been able to find it anywhere until i came across your site sooo thank you very much
Since then I have played this game quite often.
7903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This SNES games bring my memories back.
-Super Metroid (SNES)
It really is a lot of fun with great graphics, cool tracks with hidden shortcuts, wild jumps & great handling.
A runaway carrier loaded with two nuclear missiles forces the Blast Corps team to clear away all obstacles in its path, or face nuclear winter. Players will be given an assortment of destructive vehicles to use, including a bulldozer, a dump truck, a missile-loaded motorcycle, a rocket-powered car, and three robo suits. Run over buildings, blow them up, or stomp them flat to get the job done. The only thing more satisfying than all this mass destruction is knowing that the world will be thanking you for it.
But who cares how it looks. Let's see how it sounds.
1000 or more years after Blood Omen Kain has been exaulted to the status of a god. He has raised up an army of vampires lead by his first "born" Lt. Raziel and lashed out at the humanity that had attempted to erradicate the vampires under the leadership of Mobieus.
6790 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
5943 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know the drill: get equipped, buy enough potions and town portal scrolls, find the teleport place outside as you progress through quest and level up in meantime. Simple, yet addictive, animated graphic that looks decent after 10 years, hours that pass buy, and almost no glitches even on XP (change resolution to 800x600 and install 2D acceleration, if it doesn't work).
It seems like it is well made, but we have only used it 10 - 20 times, so I don't know how it will hold up over time. The previous two microphones (different manufacturer) didn't last long before we had to start holding the cable in certain positions to make them work.
1849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great fun game I still enjoyed playing 10 years later. I got it at a great price too. Definitely buy this.
This is my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time. While I have loved most of the games, and enjoyed the rest, this one stands first in my heart for the Final Fantasy series. This game has good graphics for the SNES era, and a long, involved story dealing with magical creatures called Espers and the greed of some humans to steal that magical power. The story does not center directly on any one character, but a case could be made for Terra, Celes, Locke, and perhaps Edgar as the fourth lead. The absence of a true lead character adds to the development of the story since it doesnt follow one character but follows a plotline where character move in and out of the story arc. I found this game to be incredibly fun to play and was by far my favorite of the series.
Music: OMG! Ape Escape has one of my favorite videogame soundtracks of all time. Not since Donkey Kong Country 2 have I entered levels just to pause and listen to the music. Ape Escape prooves music is a very important part of a videogame. The music excites you and is very enjoyable. It has the best track of the entire series and its ashame Ape Escape 2 suffers from its bland soundtrack. In Ape Escape 3 the music is reminiscent of the first one, so I think the makers learned from their mistake. My favorite tracks are Crumbling Castle, Dark Ruins, Galaxy Monkey, The Spector theme, and a few others, but the soundtrack of the whole game is just epic and fills my heart with nostalgia and joy everytime I hear one of them. It's underrated and I wish more people knew about it.
5002 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I love the story and this is what started the series, but I hate the game itself in terms of gameplay. The controls are a bit unresponsive, the combat is a joke and the prima strategy guide is an outright marketing scam. I just had to tell the truth of what I think about this. The gameplay is so bad for me that it just ruins the entire thing for me. I'd rather just watch someone play it with no commentary.
Raptors
Are there any downsides? Sure, the graphics are a little blocky compared with current high def games. Still, the minute I launched into my Zerg world, I was oblivious to any minor issues with the older resolution. The underlying plot and gameplay were all there. The same is just *fun*.

"BUY ONE IF YOU LIKE"
There are dozens of reviews which talk about specifics, but here are my overall impressions circa 2010.
the endgame was a little far fetched. the game was well thought out, but the ending wasn't commensurate with the game. it was episodic.
Musically, this game is quite fantastic. If you have ever played the first Suikoden,
The story, according to the manual, is that Peach invites Mario over to the castle for a cake. When Mario reaches the castle, he is greeted with a gruff voice. Wondering what went on, Mario explores the rooms and finds a giant painting where he can jump in. There, he finds himself in a new world, with a giant Bob-Omb on the top. He fights and defeats it (you'll have to do that part yourself) and gets a star. Later, he learns that Bowser has attacked the castle, captured the Princess, stolen the Power Stars, and has sent his army to take over the worlds inside the paintings, then the world itself.
5792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think Derek G missed the point.
5386 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awsome thnx
The Characters:
BUY THE GAME!!!!!
This game is structured like Zelda and plays like Zelda, except you can switch characters with the push of a C-button. I mean, you go around an overworld fighting enemies and getting ryo. Then you play castles (which are like dungeons) and fight a boss at the end, after which you get a keepsake. w00t! Ahem. It's like Zelda, but it's not Zelda. It's Goemon. And Goemon just doesn't have the polish Zelda has. Yeah. The graphics are decidedly like the run-of-the-mill platform games that appeared on the N64 in the last 3 years of the 20th century. But saying Mystical Ninja is not worthy because its graphics are bad is judging a book by its cover. To pass Mystical Ninja as bad game because of its graphics is unfair. We'd have to look at its gameplay.
Gameplay: It excels for one reason: The Job System. For the first time, you can customize your characters rather than just being one particular class. Master one job, move to another. The story is eh, music's ok, but play it cause it's a FF.
Story:
-Visually stunning engine that makes full use of DirectX 11 effects
The plot is a high point in this game as a lot of games have bad stories
[Blurb: With all the hype, its hard to be objective about OoT. Is it the best game in the series, or does it have to settle for second (or, egad, third?) best? Is it like Star Wars Episode I, all special effects and no substance? Find out a few thoughts from a fellow gamer!]
414 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Never actually owned the original Tekken but I played it. Since I'm the best Tekken player in the universe, I've decided that I want to own the game that started it all....
1661 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The story tells that people were strangely disappearing in the Arklay Mountains, northwest Raccoon City. Half of the S.T.A.R.S., a police group who's always hired when things go really bad, goes in to investigate, but they don't come back. That's when the rest of the group come to Arklay Mountains to see what's happening to those missing people and to the missing part of the team... They would just wish they were never born.
5766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF8 is one of squresoft's best releases. This game is about a mercenary who joins an underground resistance group to defeat an evil sorceress. Eventually he falls in love with a member of resistance and is intent on getting her life back after it is taken by an evil sorceress in the future. When FF8 first came out I couldn't get over some of the qualities that just weren't typical FF style like the way they walked. In most FF games the characters are inside the lead character but not in this one. I eventually got over it and I'm glad I did because the game turned out to be awesome. I strongly reccomend this game to any FF fan because this game offers nice graphics, a deep storyline filled with: love, hate, betrayal, and pretty cool combat moves. The above review said that a con on this game is the fact that there are to many random battles, but that actually helps for quick leveling. The one downside to this game is that the last boss (Ultimecia) is very hard and so I reccomend getting as much work in the game done as possible before entering Lunatic Pandora.
1) no in mission saves, if you die you start the whole mission over again.
6619 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These two games are the best games two ever come out. They are just wonderful, true classics never die. With Final Fantasy 6 or 3 being its wonderful self and 5 which never came out in America. The graphics are the old super nintendo graphics but graphics don't matter at all! Buy this game or you can Final Fantasy 8-ahahahahahaha. Whatta a loser!
1142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm what gamers call a "Zelda Veteran" , I've played almost ALL of the Zelda games and managed to beat only one: this one. I love the Zelda games because they are challenging, different and fun to play.
2286 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 A 60FPS original Xbox game locked to 30FPS, with missing 480P support. As opposed to every other version, the US and JP PS2 port has support for switching the voice track between ENG or JPN. Choosing JPN helps massively with the cringeworthy ENG voices, but this hardly makes it a better game. It begins easy, then ends up slippery and borderline unfair in no time. You're essentially playing the same line of stages in the same order, with different missions per character. Also, the camera system has been completely screwed over by the porters. Honestly, this and Unleashed are great examples of 3D games in the series that are worse than '06. At least the framerate is stable...
9183 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 LJN was a subsidiary of Acclaim Entertainment created to make more games for the NES and it continued into the SNES/Genesis era. One of their first games they released for the SNES was WWF Super Wrestlemania in 1992. While it was great to see a game with the WWF license, it only turned out to be a forgettable wrestling game that sorely lacked content and variety.
It's a game that you actually, go figure, have to WORK at. The easiest route is not always the most accessible and you'll spend a lot of time bashing poor Cloud, the main character, into walls trying to find the damn door. On top of that, you have to battle beasts that aren't going to level up or down with you to present a challenge. They are what they are and if you can't beat them you better be ready to run around the world a couple hundred times leveling yourself and your characters. But, the upside to that is the convenience of crap to do! There's a whole world of mini games and side quests that take up a majority of your time and energy. The main story is captivating and you wish to see it to its conclusion, but at the same time Gold Saucer and Chocobo Breeding might very well make you into an addict. This makes the game, in the later hours, a bit easy to beat since you might very well grab every summon and every materia known to the Planet, which will make your characters into walking, talking nuclear bombs without the fallout.
2260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have an N64 you must get an Expansion Pak. The Expansion Pak increases the graphics and the speed of some of the newers games on the N64. Some of the newest one's will not play with out it. Like some people have said this is just like adding RAM to a PC. It's easy and fast and I've had no problems with mine. If you have an N64 buy an expansion pak. You will not regret it.
3980 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I thought this game looked like it would be great-- but it turned out that it was boring, irritating, not to mention that it has bugs- my computer is almost brand new, and this game would crash every five minutes. A few months later I bought Roller Coaster Tycoon, and I became addicted to it- I LOVE it! If you are interested in this game, I recommend that you buy Rollercoaster Tycoon instead, it's a lot more fun, and it doesn't have bugs- don't waste your money on Sim ThemePark!
The buttons are easy to reach, the analog control is well functioning and the controller is nice to hold in your hands even when you have played for a long time.
First off, Nintendo allowed Squaresoft, the masterminds behind the Final Fantasy franchise, to do this game. Normally, this would be considered a bad move, but to the credit of Squaresoft, they came up with a game that not only is extremely enjoyable, but still manages to capture the feel of a Mario game with all the zany Mario quirks. Bravo. On top of that, this game shows Mario in a more animated fashion than we have seen him in previous games. His actions and reactions when interacting with other characters (which was a first at this point) is amusing and symbolic of the family friendly and lovable Mario we grew up with.
First you have to be careful that you do not miss anything in this game. Draw from everything you encounter early in the game, because alot of early bosses have magic that you might not see for quite some time, and those spells are the key to sailing straight through this game. The more spells you have of one kind determine the junctioning stats rate of effectiveness. For example: if you have 30 fires junctioned to your str. and your str. is currently at 30, and you happen to draw 70 more the next battle, your str. will now be at 100 because you have more fire spells in your inventory and you are currently junctioned to fire. This was just an example because if I can remember right, the magic only increases the stats that they're junctioned to by percentages. The most of any spell you can aquire is 100, but experimenting with different spells on different stats are better than choosing auto junction, in which the computer does it for you without much diversity. 100 full-lifes on your HP works wonders though!
The later installments of this game emphasize that and also show
9164 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I was given this game by a friend who didn't want it anymore. Now I see why he was so quick to just give it away. This game is the worst of all RPG's. Weak story, repetitive gameplay, bad music, and graphics that make me wonder whether this is a Playstation game or a GameBoy Color game. Stay away from this at all costs. You'll see it selling for about $2.99 at some ebgames stores. The price is that low for a reason.
4624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think its been 10 years since this game was released, so I thought I should write a review, since none of the front page reviews do it justice.
The puzzles are also logical. They make sence instead of being wild things like ripping the leaves off a plant and combing them with a rubber duckie or some other hair-brained idea. I also loved the animation. For polygon rendered people and buildings they were impressively handled.
The only possible reason to buy this game is that the voice of Blasto is done by the great Phil Hartman.
- The male playable character (Leon) is also the star of Resident Evil 4
But I love the level designs and the missions. I don't find them overly difficult. They're a challenge but that's a good thing.
Other thoughts:
823 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first got my Gamecube, this game was part of the Zelda collector's edition. I didn't know much about Zelda, and had only played very few games before, but was mesmerized by this game. The beginning of it is so magical and imaginative; it really draws you in to the story. I found myself playing through the beginning of it over and over again because I didn't have my memory card yet. This game takes place in a vivid fantasy world that is vibrant, ominous, beautiful, and haunting. I had never experienced anything like it. To this day I have never been so absorbed by another game.
Control: 8 Can you rotate the camera view at any time in Vagrant Story? I think not. Button-smashing (as some of the reviews claim)? Not at all. Movement could feel more realistic, but we're not here to complain.
The premise is a sad one - you are an orphan boy which must take over your grandfather's farm. You have a pet dog, but that's it - everything else is up to you. Off to work!
7539 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game! 1 player game though!
The voice acting is admittedly awful, but it doesn't detract from the gameplay at all.
If you're reading this review, you probably don't care about the finer gameplay aspects. Go ahead and buy it, even novices can have lots of fun. If you're experienced with 3D fighters, you'll probably want to buy a Dreamcast instead.
2779 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a big multiplayer person. Every time I go to a used game store i always look for a game that either I've heard of or has multiplayer. Once I found on YouTube that this game had 4-player co-op (obviously locally because this isn't a PC or Xbox 360), I had to pick this game up. Once I found this for a decent price of 5 bucks, I immediately clicked buy, and boy am I glad I did. Now I have never tried out 4-player co-op completely, but I have actually plugged in 4 controllers and it looks amazing. Now I know some people have said never to try this because of "Blurred graphics and limited view," but I don't care! All I care about in a game is gameplay, sound, controls, multiplayer, and music. The controls I had to get used to, but it wasn't horrible or impossible. The sound effects are awesome and the music is also better than the PC version. The game does have difficult puzzles but they are not impossible and the enemies are really awesome. I have played co-op and deathmatch with 2 players and I can say that the game has amazing multiplayer. If you are a really big multiplayer fan and would like to play a game that has co-op and deathmatch and also is good by yourself, I recommend buying this game.
1777 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works good arrived on time
MISSION MODE ROCKS
6288 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Years after its release, Planescape: Torment is still the model for computer role playing games. While the Infinity Engine is now dated and the resolution in this game is poor by today's standards, the presentation - setting, mood, colors, effects - is outstanding and should serve as a model for game design.
I only have a 56k modem - absolutely not fast enough. One has to have a super fast cable modem to play this "deathmatch" game online
The begining parts were the best for me. The scream the horror. I think this is suppose to be a survival horror game. I donno but Get this game but I think they don't make this game any more? Any ways get this and UNREAL TURNEMENT. AWSOME GAMES!
It is, amazingly, far more than that.
3524 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like many other reviewers have stated the battery life on this unit is very short. But other than that this memory card is the best you will find. Have at least one or two of these on hand. Why you ask? Play any of the Sega Sports titles and you will find out. Happy Gaming and Go Sooners!
Controls:9.5/10
The loading time isn't THAT bad. You have to deal with a lot of loading times, but it isn't a long wait. They are much shorter than the loading times in future WWF Playstation games.
9433 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Gameplay (Single-Player): Familiar with DOOM? Well, this plays in a very similar manner- Go around levels, collecting keys to open doors, and fragging any creature that dares to get in your way. Simple idea, sure. But, if you're like me, and you just love to blow up baddies and watch their giblets fly, you will be one happy gamer.
9197 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't BELIEVE the price that Amazon is offering this game for these days. For that money you shouldn't even be reading this, you should be ordering. This is one of the BEST overall games EVER made for PC, Console, etc. I've reviewed almost 30 games on here (and I currently own way more than that!) and this is at the top with Ghost Recon and Soldier of Fortune 2.
Summary:
7829 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Diddy Kong Racing is the other major kart racer for the Nintendo 64. When it came out, most people were accusing Rare of copying the Mario Kart 64 formula. That may be true, but at least they made modification. For example, there is a major decrease in emphasis on items in Diddy Kong Racing. In Mario Kart 64, you need a good hold on the items to win. In Diddy Kong Racing, items are merely an afterthought. What are really important are the boosters strewn all around the levels. This creates a different racing feel that some people may like more than others. I personally feel that the karts are not as agile as they are in Mario Kart 64, and that decreases my enjoyment of the game. Ah well. The inclusion of two extra vehicle types adds a different feel to the gameplay. I didn't really like the plane, but hovercrafts rule! In a racing game, level design is just as important as the controls. The courses are nice, but a bit lacking in variety. Oh well. It was obviously a way to fit in with the five different sections in the single player mode. Gawd...the single player mode...the Silver Coin Challenges are no fair, I tell you!
If you prefer deep, thought provoking games with amazing plot twists and mind-bending puzzles, this is not the game for you. Diablo II, like Diablo, is pure hack-and-slash-treasure-accumulating mayhem. It is not intellectual, but it is great fun!
5059 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Silent Hill" is one of the best survival horror games out there, even better so than "Resident Evil". As earlier reviews have pointed out, this game is not for the faint of heart. The story concerns Harry, an average man who comes to the small town of Silent Hill, a town with a scarred history. He is on vacation with his daughter, Cheryl, and on their way, there is an accident. When Harry comes to, he finds himself alone, his daughter missing. Add to this, the town is deserted. As you might expect, there are dangerous monsters lurking about. The purpose of this game is to find Harry's daughter and unlock the secrets of Silent Hill's past. It won't be easy, though.
Games:This is a high point for the DC,at the time it had some of the best games for all genres listing them all would take up way to much space. It is unfortunate that most of the Dreamcasts best games have been ported to either PS2,Xbox,or GC. But there is something about playing the original that makes the games seem so much better on Dreamcast. I'm going to list the pros and cons of the system:
======================================
The gameplay is based around stealth. You are Solid Snake, a spy working for a secret agency whose objective is to stop a device called Metal Gear, and save a couple of old guys. The story is deeper than that, of course, but in a nutshell, that's it. The controls, while laid out well, can be very unresponsive at times. The game itself is very fun (sneaking around to either get past or silently eliminate enemies), but is very easy to complete, and take away all of the cinematics and dialogue (12 hours of it all!), and you've got just three hours of gameplay.
9203 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The following refers to the digital version of Donkey Kong (Game Boy Ver.) for the Nintendo 3DS/2DS.
The game is played in the third person ala Lara Croft, and like Tomb Raider, is a straight up adventure game. The controls were easy to learn, and pretty straight-forward.
Super Hang On, and now Altered Beast.
Crossbow
8322 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Risk 2 is a very good game. It is just like the board game with some very good addons. First there is same time risk. Here you don't wait turn but you all get reinforcements at the same time and attack at the same time. You use diffrent type of dice here to. The more men you have the better dice so it eliminates the problem of have 2 guys to out 20. As there are tourdoments wicth in compairson to a command and conquer is like a compain. Also in difference to the board game you can now chose your teritories diffren. First you can have the computer do it randomly. Second you can choose in a turn based way. And third you can have an election which is like an auction. This game is well worth you money and is fun for everyone. Higly recommend.
Even better, if you have a high intelligence or good speech skills, you're rewarded with more dialogue options.
I also love their high level of detail and their animations. Hey, they look intimidating to me. That's how I know they look cool.
Some other pros-
1814 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 after falling from ballon cortex will crash into a dark cave which cantains power now crash is heading into five warp rooms and new bosses like tiny,komodo bros and n.gin. now crash can even fly in the jet pack.
2727 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this on the Sega CD Rom and I think that this is one of the best games ever released. If you haven't played it..... GET IT, and if you have, then get it again. Althought the story line in Lunar 2 is better the actually game play is a lot more fun in this one. If you are looking for an RPG to play then this is definetly one that you should try
I think all the Crash Bandicoots were a new cahnge for psx, and I hope that they continue to stick with psx.
4956 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 P.S. The review says that I gave it a 5, but I can't change it for some reason. I'd actually give it a 2.
6792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My cartridge was shipped fast. It runs great, and has no cosmetic issues. The sticker is slightly faded from age, but, it still looks great.
5345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My wife loves this game I bought it for her for christmas. She loves it becuse she like the one from the older games she played.
1760 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THis is the amazing game that started the genre of "survival horror" and created the interest in fans for such games. This game is pretty old now, but if you haven't played it yet you'll surely want to give it a try. The point to this game is simple: survive a mansion full of zombies, while solving puzzles along the way. What makes this game a challenge is the fact that you have to fend off enimies with a very limited amount of health and life. ANother challenge is that occasionally enimies will pop out and give you a surprise which you must quickly defend against. ANother great thing is that on this version of the game you get a special edition of Resident Evil and a harder difficulty level.
I feel like this game is extremely overrated, getting so much positive feed back, but for what? My expectations were much higher after being so impressed by 7. Maybe the bar was just set too high. Maybe Square needed a break. Then again, there are obviously people who love this style of gameplay, which gives them a much more different gaming experience. Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst game ever, but it's just not the same Final Fantasy experience everyone loves.
4731 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have read my previous castlevania reviews you know how much I love these games and Symphony of the night is no exception. This game is just awsome,the gameplay is fun, the graphics are great and the music is kick ass. This is the best Castlevaina game out there so far and with Castlevaina:Lords of shadows coming out soon it is going to be hard to top this masterpice. All in all I highly recommend it, if you don't want to buy it and have Xbox live or playsation network you can buy it there also.
2642 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With the recent release of the 32-bit Game Boy Advance, you may think that all Game Boy Color systems are next month's yard sale fodder. Well, that's just dead wrong. The tall, small-screened systems are still being played by Nintendo fans,even Game Boy Advance owners.
6529 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great Game, one of the best Final Fantasy re-releases on the system. You owe it to yourself to grab this and play through Final Fantasy 6, having FF5 is really just a bonus.
2126 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is excellent. The plot is good. I mean, what can be better than a deadly poison killing people? But the graphics could have been infinitly better. The faces are flat, and have hardly any detail, and that is in the movie scenes! The graphics are esspecially bad in gameplay. The guns, well let me just say it leaves more to be desired. Blood is extremly fake looking, but there is tons of it! But the actual play itself is very fun.
1936 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I see myself as a guru of Survival Horror games, I like'em and I like what they make me feel. Now let's get on with my review for Resident Evil 2.
9793 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game. Classic graphics brin me back to my childhood. I recommend for anyone who like classics and horror games.
1687 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great "Nastalgia" gamer who knows how it all began when PAC-MAN was first played on the COMMODORE 64, and AMIGA computers. Now today its even hotter then ever. New generations as well as old are at it again going Pac-wild with The whole Pac-Family games. I will never get tired of Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man, and they are still hard and challenging as hell!
4639 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Yes, Fallout 2 is one of the best RPG games out there, especially considering the fact that there are no futuristic RPG's in the current market. However, this game requires way to much search and talk. It gets very old very quickly, and you will find yourself with the best equipment on the planet by simply waiting for two different parties to kill each other. I had a flamethrower within one hour of playing that made me nearly invincible. I mean, come on. Unless you are going to play this game without accepting help from NPC's, this really proves no challenge and damages the fun factor. At least the price is right.
1682 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The Good: Decent story, tons of gore, great graphics and audio, new features are neat
4749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the greatest games ever made, period. I LOVED the highly underrated Castlevania 64, and when I spotted Symphony in the store I knew I had to have it. But it came in a discount case that hid the back of the game case, and when I took off the packagaing and saw the screenshots on the back, my heart sank. It was 2D! How could a 2D game possible stand up to a 3D game??
Graphics: Back in 1997, these graphics were jawdropping. That opening sequence with Aeris, the entrance to Gold Saucer, and awakening of ancient beings were just amazing. They seem tame now but back then, they were gorgeous. It isn't flawless though: the characters look "blocky" like it'll have a big block for a hand and in some cases, you can see them without a mouth but it doesn't detract from the feel of the game.
Bottom line, excellent graphics, excellent sound, online games, and hundreds of excellent titles to choose from for all ages. Sega got everything right this time, it just happened too late for them to recover what was lost after a series of bad moves. But that doesn't mean we can't benefit and enjoy the fruits of their labors.
FF7- basic weapon system
6158 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I really want to know who it is out there who seems to think that because you slap a recognizable name like Star Trek on a product and sell it is all one has to do. I also want to know how it is that two completely separate game companies, Interplay and Activision, can produce two separate games (Starfleet Command and Star Trek: Armada) that work almost the same and reek of the same shoddy workmanship. It is products like these that make me realize why I have abandoned Star Trek fandom in the first place. Because like Deep Space Nine and Voyager, they are so lacking in the creativity that made the franchise so worthwhile in the first place.
This game is brilliant. It combines the RPG style of the Final Fantasy games with the adventure style of the Mario games so well. This is a great game, and it is definitely one of the best games I've ever played.
The problem with Starfleet Command is ambition. The game boasts true 3-D combat. This isn't true in the slightest. If you want 3-D space combat, go buy Homeworld. Starfleet command is on two axi, the X and Y. No mention whatsoever of the Z axis. Everything is played on a flat plane. Now, I'm no expert of space travel, but this just isn't accurate, nor does it make for an enjoyable experience.
Nostalgia can be a painful thing.

The good first: The game looks very nice. It has that same techno-organic look as Battlezone 2, not surprising since the same guys did it. It runs fairly nice, aside from the crashes. The framerate and overall running is probably the smoothest I've ever seen on a 3D RTS, even Homeworld. The interface is also quite well thought out, and a step forward over other 3D RTS's, particularly the ease of camera movement.
The sounds and music aren't as great as the Super Nintendo had them turn out, also considering the limits, but they are still sounding pretty well on the hardware.
6310 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really like this Console. Nintendo 64 is the best Nintendo Console they have made! I like it and everyone should have one because it's fun!
- Replay Value
For anyone interested in old games, the Midway collections are good. Volume 2 is the best with the original Gauntlet. The Sega Smashpack is available on its own and has 12 Genesis games on it.
4014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game
8417 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is horrible. At the release of the movie I thought it would be fun to play the game series, then go see the flick. I heard friends rave about this game, so I purchased it and couldn't get myself through the first ten minutes. The camera angle is annoying, the controls clumsy, the gameplay corny. The graphics left this veteran gamer with a sour taste. However, if you like zombies and don't mind its serious flaws, give this one a try. Maybe you'll feel better about it than I did.
Final Fantasy VI, as you have read in countless reviews, is probably the most engaging and emotionally involved game in the series. The characters all have likeable personalities, and their individual stories are very enrossing. As the game progresses, the player becomes more involved in their lives. The story is the game's strongest point, while the music is a milestone for any video game. Anybody who dismisses it as "just a game" should take
636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fantastic, and you won't be able to put it down for a long long time. I have over 120+ hours played on my game save. Final Fantasy VII Platinum Edition features a revamped old soundtrack...that I find 2x better than the PSone version's soundtrack. Although it takes a while to adjust to the numpad controls, after playing for a while, you'll wonder how you would have done it any other way. The on-screen controls are bizarre and during scenes such as the timed puzzle in the rocket ship, you'll have a hard time typing in key combos. Materia allows you to use different magics on different characters, allowing for different characters to use Summons, Magic, and Cure. My tip: don't give up solely because of the controls---this game is FANTASTIC and although I found the console experience more enthralling and easier to jump into, the PC version was much more cinematic and was totally worth it. FF7 is by far the best game I have ever played, and you do not want to miss out on this adventure. My only tip: don't save over the same file, especially before you enter the Northern Crater--you won't be able to exit it if you do.
7459 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the best games for the N64. This is among the best games and probably one of the top 5 racing games for the system.
403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you find Street Fighter Alpha 3 overwhelming, then you should try Street Fighter Alpha 2. 18 characters containing some of the most popular characters from the series: Ryu, Ken, Dan, Chun-Li (has her Kikoken fireball, but not her Spinning Bird Kick), Akuma, Sakura, Zangief, Dhalsim, Sagat, and he-plays-just-like-Guile Charlie. Each character has his/her own ending.
I highly recommend this game, whether you are an avid Tomb Raider fan or somebody new to the series. I don't believe you will be disappointed - in fact, you will probably find many hours of action filled entertainment. And if you do enjoy it, I strongly recommend other games in this series.
Produced by 3D Realms, *Max Payne* is a third-person shoot through a noir-choked New York City. Finnish developer Remedy follows the standard set by Valve to immerse the game in an actual plot, bloody and surreal. We begin with our hero at the end of a vengeful rampage, and his reflections are the game. One fine American day, Detective Payne comes home in time to hear drug-crazed loonies shoot his wife and child. He hunts each intruder down, but too late. Payne joins his buddy Alex in the DEA. The killers had flown high on Valkyr, a new designer drug, and after three hard years the pair finally discovers the prime dealersa debased and savage crime syndicate. But the break bursts bigger than anyone could imagine: hitmen ambush Max and Alex during a subway meeting. Max survives, but somebody out there is determined, powerful, and sadistic: Max is quickly framed for killing his own friend. As a terrible blizzard sets over New York, cold rage sets on Max. His enemies think he is trapped and helplessthey only free his trigger finger
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures has you help Pac-Man on his journey. That's right. YOU'RE a part of his ventures. Anyway, the game is composed of various objectives Pac-Man has to accomplish. He roams around all kinds of places such as a farm, a warehouse, a mountain, and much more. The trick here is that the player has to be pretty observant and aware of what's going on around the scenery.
5321 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Honestly I am only getting this to play for a while and add to the collection. It was pretty good but nothing like GTA 3 and later.
8593 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Three things we never thought we'd see in a Mario game:
9089 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Pac-Man is a really awesome arcade game. It's so addicting! You just eat dots while roaming around in a maze while avoiding ghosts. And then you could use a special dot in which the ghosts become edible. This, my friends, was timeless action the Namco loves going back to over and over again. Not in 1994, though, in which they release Pac-Man 2. Look at that cover art...I don't think this is maze game. I have a theory as to why this "interactive cartoon" has the Pac-Man 2 name. There was a Pac-Man cartoon show in the 80s. I can only assume this is a sequel to that. Since a new Pac-Man show is being made and set for next year, why not review Namco's attempt at doing something like that in a video game?
In the end Killer Instinct is a nice game to purchase, it will take a lot of practice to beat the final boss but it is so worth it if you win.
This game offers great challenge, great gameplay, flawless presentation, tight controls, and a great storyline. The music is so good I wish there were a soundtrack.
3188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It received rave reviews as essentially flawless at the time and the graphics definitely hold their own over a decade later. How many games can you say that about without being unrealistically optimistic? Soul Calibur for Dreamcast has highly fluid game play, taking the very best elements of other fighting games of the time and turning them into something beautiful. If you have a Dreamcast, this title is essential. With unlockable characters and story mode, replay value is extremely high. If you have a "gotta catch 'em all" mentality, the story mode will keep you busy for a very long time. I cannot recommend this game highly enough.
While I refrain from calling Castlevania: Symphony of the Night the Playstation's best game in the face of games like Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid & Xenogears, I must admit that if I was forced to choose but one, it may very well be it. I will say that it is an amazing title in all aspects, and sadly, as things seem to be unfolding, perhaps the last 2D Castlevania title. The latest two Castlevania games, both on N64, have been in 3D, and to be honest, quite lackluster. As fate would have it, the only other known Castlevania title in development is also in 3D, this time for Dreamcast, and while I can only hope it can recapture in some small way the splendor that is SOTN, one has to suspect that the inherent problems with the titles is that they are not 2D, which is the soul of the series. If you want a post 16-bit title that is truly Castlevania, there is only one route to take, and that is Symphony of the Night (or the Saturn import version known as Nocturne in the Moonlight, which actually has a couple of extra areas and a playable Maria).
Though there are adult themes and bloody scenerios but that's why this game is rated Mature. But the way this game is set up, it is still a classic and a blast to play and replay.
Game play and graphics
complexity 2/5
1225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GREAT
Originally released in 1997-98, when it was deemed the "RTS game of the year", Starcraft is perhaps one of the only RTS games that you can still find on shelves at stores, close to a decade later! Although new RTS games have invaded the market, bringing with them cutting-edge 3D graphics and unheard-of computer requirements, Starcraft still, to this day, stands alone as the finest specimen of RTS ever created.
I also hate the game for the bad memories connected to it. The Christmas I got the game, I had a few bad personal things happen. But looking back, Syphon Filter really isn't any good. It's not surprising to me that the game is going for only a couple pennies right now used, and only a couple dollars to buy brand new. It's not even worth THAT much!
I've played other computer RPGs (going back to Pool of Radiance), but none really could bring back any of the real excitement of AD&D. Happily, "Planescape: Torment" does.
8176 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As the original pack-in game for the Super Nintendo, this is a worthy successor to the Super Mario series! It expands the Super Mario universe without sacrificing the fun or addicting gameplay. In addition to improved graphics, Mario has new moves including the ability to throw turtles, fly, and ride around on a little green dinosaur named Yoshi (his first appearance in the video game!). The world itself is huge compared to previous Mario games, with a nice variety of settings including Haunted Houses. A battery backup lets you save up to four games. This game should be standard issue for all Super Nintendo owners.
List of Bosses:
832 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game was okay - it could've been better. I like the story, it's way different than it is in the movie - it's more fun. But like I said before, Perfect Dark 64 is the new Bond. The main story is fun and so is the multiplayer combat. There's a crap load of Bond characters to unlock and levels too. But I'm not a Bond fan, in fact, I hate Bond! But this game is fun.
3895 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, so the controller is pretty blucky, but if you are a true gamer, and have a JAPANESE IMPORT OF CAMCOM VS. SNK 2: MILLIONARE FIGHTING 2001(MARK OF THE MILLENIUM 2001 IN THE U.S.A), then you will deffinetly play it, and you will get used to it, plus, when this console has some of the best games for the cheapest price, then you will get used to it, infact, you will want to get used to it badly!
Metal Gear Solid 2: The game play in this game is completely revamped to make the game look more realistic along with its graphics being greatly upgraded to also make the game more realistic however the characters are often disliked (especially Raiden) and the story is mostly conspiracy and gibberish most people either love or hate this game. Not all the info needed to draw accurate conclusions of what happens in the game are provided within the game some appear later in the franchise,so the entire game is left open to speculation on what actually happens. The story was orignally intended to end the franchise with eye opening thought provoking ending but it tries to convey too much all at once. So your left trying to make sense of real life themes, games plot points and other references all thrown together into a melding pot which make up the ending of this game. Even if you think the game is gibberish the VR Missions are an improvement over the first games and are a fun distraction.
side quests and minigames
4020 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Immersive story, spooky atmosphere and graphics that is beautiful even 17 years after the game was first released - these features make Half-Life one of greatest FPS games ever made.
This game is excelent for DreamCast owners...
1st island - The easiest to beat if you have all of the different coloured gems. The hardest level here is Native Fortress.
1167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In its tenure, the N64 had its share of bad games. With exceptions like Super Mario 64, the THQ wrestling games and a few others, it seemed like the bad outweighed the good. But with 'Ocarina of Time', the balance took a drastic shift as n64 was given its best overall game.
As for the multiplayer, I couldn't find any places to try it out. Perhaps that should be a warning that the MP is lacking. That's a shame. I've dreamed of a double play style game such as this. First person shooter/flight simulator. Drakan fits the single player bill. Perhaps Drakan II will fix the MP and give us what we want! Are you listening Psygnosis?!
Single player mode is pretty fun. The missions aren't really all that bad. The story is decent and I enjoyed playing it all the way through. The gem to this game is the multiplayer options.
Cons:
3769 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goodbye to 2D worlds and hello to 3D environments! Sonic and other returuning faves such as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy with new roles such as E-102 and Big the Cat (or Biggums as I like to call him). Now Sonic is putting a bigger emphasis on exploring in new worlds. The plot is easily one of the best! The dialouge between these characters are very good and not chessy one bit! Here the plot:Chaos 0 is released from the Master Emerald by Eggman and he feeds on the Chaos Emeralds. Chaos 0 is upset by an earlier experience but telling it would be a spolier. Six characters has a different storyline but in the end they all intersect into one huge battle. *SPOLIER* Chaos 0 turns into Chaos 7 and turns the town into his own personal waterpark. Sonic absorbs the posistive power of the emeralds and turns into Super Sonic to defeat the humongous, Chaos 7, and the fate of the world lies in the hand of Sonic the Hedgehog*SPOLIER*! Yuji Naki is the creator of the supreme hedgehog franchise. The only ... person is Big the Fat. The niggling fishing game must be removed! It's the worst thing on the planet! Thank God, Biggums is nowhere to be found in Sonic Adventure 2:Battle!
Imagine this redone right on the XBOX 360 OR PS3?? -----holynight1
4096 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Absoulutly incredable. Everything was approched in this game; sound, stratagy, lighting, level design, and graphics. It is darn good stuff. Also, the counterstrike mod is enough of a reason to buy it. This game definatly deserves game of the year. Well done Sierra!
1139 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GAME TYPE: Role Playing
The first thing you'll notice upon beginning Alucard's quest, is that this is not your usual Castlevania title. More closely resembling Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES), or to be quite honest, Super Metroid (SNES), SOTN sprinkles the tried and true play mechanics with a good many RPG elements. The ability to equip multiple items (weapons, armor, items, etc.), level up to gain strength and the ability to purchase potions, maps and other items, even conversing with the occasional NPC (namely Maria), are all typical to RPG's and their addition to the Castlevania formula results in a game that's very much more than the sum of its parts. Dracula's castle and the catacombs underneath are a huge area to navigate, requiring some time in the early going (you'll soon open warp portals to speed your quest later), and as such, the map is invaluable as far as finding areas you have yet to explore (again, they took it straight out of Super Metroid). The thing is that to unlock certain areas, you'll need to acquire items or abilities. Indeed, the true challenge in SOTN is not only defeating Dracula, but being able to explore the entire castle, both normal and inverted. And lest you think all this will be a tedious chore, let me assure you that controlling Alucard is a small pleasure in itself. While his movement is very fluid, he controls wonderfully, and while it will be second nature to any Castlevania fan within movements, the additions of certain spells to Alucard's repertoire make mastery a bit more involving. And for those who would rather control a belmont, Richter is selectable later on by code, although the going is considerably tougher for him. Konami could not have delivered a more complete experience.
4290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very Happy
oh, and there's this really weird scene in wall-market...
As a game that tries to make you feel like Batman, this one comes up short. But as a fast-paced action title with solid gameplay that has Batman slapped onto it, this one's a fun time.
I hate this game.
Ok in my opinion the best way to un-cover this story is to play the first half of Crisis Core (until you reach Nibelheim) then start playing FFVII (this game) until after you get past the part where you find out about Zack. Then go back to Crisis Core, beat that then finish FFVII. It doesn't really matter what game you play first & vise versa but if you play this game all the way through it pretty much spoils the ending for Crisis Core. Although i still think it was exciting to see the ending in higher graphic quality i just knew what was going to happen.
3247 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Do you like fighting games but wish they had a little more depth? Well then Power Stone might be for you. It's a great game where the 3D arenas, fast speed, crazy weapons and powerup moves really get your heart pumping. Everything here can be used to your advantage, from street polls to swing on to boxes & cafe chairs to throw. The different environments really give you something to look at and each player has their own unique power moves. Unlike other games, this game makes you look for Power Stones, which transform you into a person with enhanced powers. Then they can really do some damage. Just getting to the stones first will be hard enough, along with defeating your foe. It's a cool game and I highly reccomend it.
7405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 awesome game play graphics are old school but the story line is ahead of its time like you wouldnt believe. if you are going to make a list of the top ten ps1 games this would be top five.
Gameplay also mirrors the previous home releases. Jump, combo, special move, jump, combo fatality. The AI isn't particularly bright, especially on the stages where rocks and other debris litter the ground.
2429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
4148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a classic. Not much else to say. I had, of course, played Star Craft before, but my CD was long lost. It was nice to get this for nostalgia's sake.
3929 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Anyone ever play Privateer: Armada? This really reminds me of that allot. The great sweeping star wars saga has been replaced by nothing more then a third rate game of chess. The special effects are cheesy and the so-called battles take forever. Save your money and don't buy this one.
8500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Vandal Hearts 1 was and still is a truly remarkable game. The graphics don't do a game this beautiful any justice, but this one's soooooo good, i wouldn't care if I was controlling stick figures!
What's really great about this game is the multiplayer mode. While you do have to compete against the other player in finishing the levels first (or getting higher scores), you guys also have to beat those 4 multiplayer zones altogether!
I hate the way Spyro talks. He sounds like a bratty teenage rebel with a nasally voice. Not exactly what a dragons voice should sound like. Also, when you rescue the dragons, sometimes they say important things you might want to pay attention to. The problem here is that many times the important tips they say aren't really helpful because they say them right AFTER you've already had to do them! For instance, in one case after you glide to a far-away platform and rescue a dragon, the dragon will tell you how to glide. Obviously, since I needed to glide in order to rescue him, I already KNOW how to glide! So I didn't NEED his help! This happens a few times during the game. You just want to scream "Thanks for nothing, bonehead!"
3854 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Realistic, energetic, fast moving, great graphics, challenging, and enjoyable.
7232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hi my name is brandon stolt and i had donkey kong 64 for a long time and I think this is the best game in THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!
2843 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, I don't really think its a little kid game...im 14 and i still think its tough.
Like I said...very impressive game...
2889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a legend among video games a thousand stars from me.
1169 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best game I ever play. In fact, I beat this game in a week. It's a good deal and is worth the money.(big time)
All in all, Vandal Hearts is a very solid game that's clever and fun. It may be very weak in showing off technology, the makers clearly had a lot in mind, and that makes this game worth the money any day!
Sound, I don't like the music that much. 4/10
6267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How to write review without spoiling a game, having so great plot? Let's just say this game has better plot than most of novels in genre. It will make you laugh, cry, and even feel scared sometimes.
5354 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Because of the new Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks game coming out, I decided to get all my old MK games out to play. Among them was Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and this lil gem. Despite what everyone has had to say about the game, Special Forces isn't that bad a game. I mean, if you're any MK fan at all, you're going to get this one just to keep up with the Mortal Kombat mythos. I especially enjoyed the game because it explained alot of the backstory as to how Jax and Sonya first got into MK. I'll admit, however, why they chose Jax to have a starring role in an MK game of his own is beyond me. Not that Jax is a bad character and fighter in the game, he's one of my favorites. It's just there are other more beloved characters from the universe that they could have used. When you think about it, that could be the reason why people didn't make this a big seller, at the time. At any rate, I loved the game. For the first time, it was a Mortal Kombat game that took place in an actual 3-D environment. Fighting is intense with the basic, special, and combination moves.
This is a really good game for all gamers and it hits the essence that is 3-D fighting games. Plus new characters and new fighting styles are also pretty cool. The drawback is that the old "button mashing" is still a viable means of winning the fights and for a lot of the characters, some of thier combos that's all you have to do (best example: Eddy Gordo). For those of you advanced gamers, try the new and improved King, Jin and Law.
5108 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game is fun to play, but the graphics are terrible. The terrain is green, with some very sparsely placed trees and signs. It is fun to beat down other racers with pipe, chain, hammer, etc... but the bikes are nearly impossible to control at full speed. The expansion pack for the N64 is the biggest waste of money i've ever spent. It does NOTHING to help the graphics or sound quality. multi-player saves it from the graveyard.
2095 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Okay I'm not totally lowbrow, I can get puzzles (I got near the end of this game called Lighthouse). I couldn't get this at all when I played it, not even a bit. You roam around this island getting fragmented information, and at least on the computer the puzzle hit-detection seemed weak, so trying to access the puzzles themselves even with a guide was a frustrating endeavor. The puzzles themselves were bad enough, but the fact that solving some of them didn't seem to change anything discernible (at least in the early stages of the game) meant I ultimately gave up in frustration. Not to mention it wasn't even fun.
-THE ZONES ARE VARIED FROM PREVIOUS GAMES. Yes, there is another volcano zone, but now you can explore new areas like the massive tombs of Sandopolis, the flying ruins of Sky Sanctuary, and the inner sanctums of the giant Death Egg ship. Plus now you get to take out the giant Flying Battery ship which attacked you near the beginning of Sonic 3. Strangely, this seems to be the only Sonic game without a water zone, which renders the Bubble shield useless, but oh well. In contrast, you will find more use out of the fire shield though.
PROS:
5 stars!
Graphically, it's stunningly beautiful, as are the sounds and music. And you will laugh out loud at some of the cut-scene dialogues and you'll be wondering if the creators were part drunk when the put this all together. But it works very much in its favor. It's one of the top 10 games I've ever played, but it's definitely the most unique.
7835 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 was the greatest when it first came out now the new Sim city's walk all over this one, still it's a keeper
8324 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're looking for a great adventure game, there's no need to look further then "Titanic: Adventure out of Time." All the elements that make a wonderful adventure game are here; an intriguing story, great environment, interesting characters to interact with, and it can even make your heart pound. I have played it a numberless amount of times. This is a game that is timeless.
Needless to say, I haven't completed this game, and I don't plan on it anytime soon. This game is just bad! If you want to wander aimlessly around a series of cartoony cities, each with hidden dungeons and shops and no sense of purpose whatsoever, then by all means get this game. I for one would rather spend my money on a nice root canal, or perhaps a spinal tap.
Overall:*****
7534 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The only SNES game that's better than this is Donkey kong country 2. The only other SNES game that stands a chance against this is Mario kart and Zelda. This is the second best Mario game, the first being Super mario bros 3. Anyway, the graphics and music on this game are amazing. And the gameplay is out of this world. The worlds go;
7824 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game plays ok, but Nintendo caved to media pressure and edited most of the best content out of the game. This game feels neutered. It is like buying a music album you really like from a great artist only to find out you bought the radio edit version instead of the explicit version. Granted a lot of games that were ported from an arcade console to the SNES system had to be altered to fit the parameters of the system, but this game could have left in the gore and everything else. This is one of those rare times where Sega got it right and Nintendo goofed it up. One of my favorite parts of the game was playing against other people and ripping off their heads at the end of a battle. None of that in this version. I feel like it should have a Care Bears sticker on it or something to let buyers know this is the G rated version.
5568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I always wanted to have this game to complete my Mortal Kombat collection. I even had to get a Dreamcast in order to have this game. No repentance at all. This game is awesome.
I had one game going for over an hour on level 9 and I am not even sure what rocket I ended up with but it was a pretty decent high score. I wish I would have written it down. I could have kept playing but my eyes and thumbs were getting tired. That is not an everyday thing just happened to be hitting a ton of Tetris's in a row on that high speed setting.
First and foremost, it isn't quite what you'd expect for a movie licensed title on the Genesis. It's far more than your typical platformer or beat 'em up. Toy Story employs many different styles of gameplay, and they all work well. From platforming, first person exploration, driving stages (both top down and third person), to inventive level design and boss fights, Toy Story is the most varied 16-bit gaming experience you can find right next to both fantastic Earthworm Jim games.
Note you can play in the HoloDeck by yourself as well, to practice.
6. It makes you disrespect the New Super Mario Bros. series.
2956 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best Final Fantasy games there is it re-wrote the video gaming at the time and introduced a new system of magic and weapons to the FF series. It is a lot of fun to play and I would buy it again if my copy ever got damaged.
Then there's "Whomp's Fortress" (which was remade into a retro stage for "Super Mario Galaxy 2"), always fun, "Jolly Roger Bay" (a nautically themed, very creepy level with a scary eel and an enormous pirate ship; it was always my least favorite), a haunted mansion "Big Boo's Haunt", and a level of either epic or bite size preportions, "Tiny-Huge Isaldn". Each level brings new and fun ways to interact with the environment hithertoo unseen previously in other levels.
graphics 10/10
- difficult game
The music however was slightly altered. Some I don't mind (most of the stuff form Ninja Gaiden 2) but Act 2 in Ninja Gaiden 1 was a big dissapointment.
Graphics-4/5, almost like black-and-white super mario world.
In addition, many new games coming out are so graphic-intensive that they require the expansion pack to even play. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a key example. This is an EXCELLENT game with great extended gameplay, but you can't even start if you don't have this pack in place.
Over all it's pretty fun but it's alittle inapropraite for little ones...
I've been playing this game since I finally got mine in January or February, and I really can't see myself giving it up any time soon. :o)
Sound-5/5 classic Mario Tunes, and great final fantasy-ish music also. kudos to the big N and Square Soft.
13. SNES: There are various mini-games, heart pieces, and extra things to do. This trend is continued in Link's Awakening also.
5. Offshore Rig
2970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There is very little about this game that can't be enjoyed. Because of that simple statement and resident fact, the game has become an absolute joy and cultural icon in the gaming world. If you've gamed, you've heard about FFVII, if you've played Final Fantasies before, you've most likely been inundated with information about this FF. Ten to one, you've probably played it. Over and over and over again. And for good reason.
8799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite Donkey Kong game out of the 3. All of them are extremely good games-very entertaining. This one is kind of hard if you want to try to get all of the DK coins from all of the levels in order to get the proper ending. You can find some really fun cheats online for this game, which also makes it really fun.
Give me more, we need more games like this one.
Excellent 3D levels such as -
Tomb Raider begins with adventurer and treasure huntress Lara Croft being hired by business woman Jacqueline Natla to search an ancient cavern in Peru for a piece of the Scion, an ancient talisman of great power. However, after finding the piece, Lara is betrayed by Jacqueline's men. Now it's a race across the world to find the remaining pieces of the Scion before Jacqueline attains its mythical power. Tomb Raider is an early Playstation game, and unfortunately the graphics haven't aged very well. Although many set pieces in the game are very impressive all the levels tend to feel very samey. Despite this the game's length is impressive. There are over fifteen massive levels with hidden caches of ammo and first aid packs, giving you a great sense of exploration throughout the game. Lara moves in a very stiff fashion. Her controls are tank-like and You have to hold down a button for her to walk. She takes very long jumps, but running jumps have a delay that requires you to plan your jumps ahead of time in most cases. Fortunately there is a training mission where Lara instructs you on how to play in her home. The game is primarily a puzzle platformer. Each level contains a series of puzzles that will test your problem solving skills.
Are there any downsides? I imagine gamers who are most focused on first person shooters, who want to aim rifles at heads and shoot, probably won't be as keen on the strategy based, long term planning involved here. That is quite fine. There are different types of games for different players. For strategy fans, Age of Empires II is quite a treat.

7217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect dark has THE BEST multi player mode. This is not just because the graphics rock or the weapons each have a weapon option. It's because of the ability to use simulants. They add an extra spice to this game which gives it almost unlimited replayability. You can actually play a multi player mode where you and your friends are on the SAME TEAM! Sims too easy? Just crank up the difficulty until you don't think that anymore.
Why? In order of importance, least to greatest:
301 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works way better than expected.
2776 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 What what game I'm describing. It's old, it's puzzling, and it's a blockbuster game. It's, you guessed it, Myst. And that is probably the easiest puzzle you'll get concerning Myst, too. Since it is a popular game that was released a quite a long time ago, you've probably heard of it by now. I'll just say this one thing: If you're deaf or impatient, AVOID. There is a puzzle that involves matching piano tones...heck, even if you're NOT deaf, it's still quite a puzzler! But don't fret...you can beat this game in FIVE MINUTES if you know how, and it can be found in the many game walk-throughs of the Internet. After all, with the difficulty of THESE puzzles, rest assured, you'll be looking for one!
5414 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh boy, this has got to be the one of the coolest cd's I've ever bought for my playstation console! All the awesome games I used to love playing at the local arcades right here in my living room, without dropping 300 quarters a week. :) I forgot just how much fun I used to have playing these games.
8680 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this game in about 1994, a couple years after it first came out, at a friend's house. At this time Mario Kart was one of the most popular games for the SNES. My friends and I would have tournaments, though usually on battle mode. We liked Yoshi and Peach because their turning ability was better than the others, but we used Toad and Koopa Troopa during races because of their superior control at drifting.
The enemy designs are pretty cool considering this is a Game Boy game. There's snakes that come out of the ground, there's plenty of other creatures that remind me of rippers from the original Metroid, hermit crab-like creatures that wander back and forth, and there's even a laser-spitting robot in a few sections! Those are just some small examples. Many of the enemies from the original return as well. The bats are probably weak though. Just look how TINY they are!
The story line is top notch. Mixing in philosophy with life, death, and belief was just plain genious. Once you get into this game you will not want to leave. AS you go along your journey you will unravel more of your character's past lives and what kind of people he once was.
571 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've always loved this game so much, granted there's a bug here or there with the audio but that's to be expected with an aged gem.
6679 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fun game. It is irritating though that this game does not have a save progress feature.
Overall, this is a very good game and would recommend for anyone! Also makes a great gift.
Graphics: The graphics look great with it's awesome looking levels like Diablo's level that has the raging volcano is nice to look at as is Armadon's cave level which looks too cool. The dinosaurs/apes themselves just look fantastic. Blood spraying out of your opponent and yourself is just plain brutal and awesome to look at as is watching your opponents heart explode when you just beaten him.
369 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the charger is okay and works perfectly it is also the original nintendo one with the logo and everything !
I cannot BEGIN to tell you how I love this game. It's so simple, yet a FUN game. It's hard, and you'll just be playing more and more just to beat this game. It has two-player ability which tends to make it easier (subject to your comrade's abilities, of course.). There's only four levels, but it's four levels of sheer oldschool ultimateness. The graphics are ok, if not that great, but hey... we all know gameplay is what makes the game, right?
The most powerful person is Nightmare. He has the Soul Blade and can destroy a lot of things in his way. But beware! His moves are sooo slow, everyone can counter them!
6221 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am very impressed with the condition it arrived in! It was in almost perfect shape aside from a few scruff marks, and it looks almost brand new,
3915 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've always loved the board game version of "Life" - I played it hundreds of times with my family while I was growing up. The computer game version stuck to the board game as closely as possible. You spin the wheel exactly like the board game, your little car moves around just like the board game (they even copied the board almost exactly!).
8974 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I have all three systems that this switch is suppose to run off of. My plan was to use this to free up the other three tv inputs from my television. The cover of the box looks like there are two input jacks but there's only one. What you see is the input into the television and the other goes into the NES/SNES/SEGA. I was hoping I could have two systems hooked up at once but I have to use the same jack for all 3 systems.
8631 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Happy with purchase
The graphics are bright and lively, with lots of colors.
In addition, the AI of UT and Quake III are what really make the First player mode a treat in UT and a painful experince Quake III. First of all, the first player mode in Quake isn't worth my fingernail clipings. It is terribly lame and also the bots AI's are very sketchy and need a lot of teaking. In UT, first player is great for both newcomers for practice, and for pros who want to practice offline before they slug it out online. These guys act almost if not exaclty like human players! I love it!
It's quake 1/2/3 for me! (even though 3 was a bit disappointing).
Fun factor- 1,000,000/10...yep you read that right. There are plenty of power-ups to collect, among many other things such as missle containers and energy tanks. I've beaten this game probably 15-20 times, and it NEVER gets old. In fact, my SNES malfunctioned recently , deleating my Super Metroid file i had recently started. I was near the end of the game when it got deleted, but I still found myself playing it again without being bored or sick of it. In fact, I'm glad it got deleted, because now I can play through it again!!
Graphics 4:
So, yeah. I got it used for a good price. Good to have it again.
You have Warcraft, you have Diablo, and then you have Starcraft. Diablo and Warcraft have gone off to have #2 (and in Warcraft's case, #3) but Starcraft has nothing but a Brood War expansion. I can't see why.
9478 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Yoshi's Island would be my Mario sidescroller of choice if I had to pick one to play single player. While there is no two player option, this title offers some very fun and colorful levels for Yoshi to explore while protecting a baby Mario. A level completion percentage challenges players to replay levels and rewards them with challenging bonus stages for getting enough 100% completions.
5432 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can you say folks? The 80's video game revolution started it all, so here we are playing them again 20 years later with the same vigor we had back then! Only, without the pocket full of quarters.
3448 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 3 was a well done game, great detail, along with a good story add puzzles and zombies and a huge hard to stop monster "Nemesis" Scary Tone and music and you have one hell of a game. A worthy addition to add to your collection of games. Recommende to fans of Resident Evil.
The settings are all classic action movie settings, like the run-down hotel, New York streets, and boat dock, slick office buildings, and even a chase through a parking garage. The fire-fights are amazing, with or without bullet time, and the weapons are all unique and fun to use.
8410 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game earlier this year,I use to rent this game back when this system was popular. This game is different from a lot of fighters like Mortal Kombat,it has strategy that involves timing moves at the right time. For example,Ken/Ryu have slow,medium,and fast fireball when pressed with light,medium,and heavy punch buttons. The problem with game is that you must have a six button controller or you will have to press start to change the kicks from the punches,plus its way more fun with the six button controller. The graphics are pretty close to the arcade counterpart,and still look really great compared to some of the other Genesis games. I own Street Fighter Alpha 3 on Dreamcast,so I have experience about Street Fighters games. I still think even after all these years SF2 is one of the greatest fighters to come out,or maybe it's just me thinking about childhood memories of playing this game early in the morning before anyone got up.

8888 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A classic that is wonderful! :))
3. The characters in the game not just the playable ones but all of them seem to have no life to them, its just boring how the characters are so dull, I just cant explain it.

Recommended.
8818 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You were very late on delivery, but the cartridge was in such great condition that it made up for it. The cartridge itself looked like it was just opened frm the box. No scratches, dents, writing, the label is intact and still has the shiny gloss look to it.
Sadly, you get spinouts at EVERY turn. Which makes racing more about luck, rather than your talent. When going at 50 mph, a little tap on the DIGITAL controlls will make the car swirv all around the track, and then ending in a spin out. I truely believe that beating a race on the game will be even harder than beating the same race with the same car in real life!
In the club level, you check all the doors and the windows to find the missing kids. Your enemies are bad guys in blue suits and waitresses. In the streets level, you have to check the cars (watch out, some have bombs). Your enemies are a bunch of punks and... dogs. Yes, dogs that sound like cats meowing. I found it funny. The 3rd level is a graveyard even though the game calls it the woods. It's clearly a graveyard with tombstones, haunted scenery, and zombies. Unfortunately, there is no THRILLER music, even if you do the dance move. So, there are zombies and birds for your enemies. The 4th level is a cavern. This place is really confusing, but simple to beat. You spend a lot of time wandering around until you find out you are supposed to spin on the walls with the spider symbol and press up+B on the circle symbols to find everyone. Your enemies are spiders, zombies, and guys with guns. The next level is the enemy base (I don't get it), but you are in a large base from like Terminator or Robocop or something with a bunch of computers and turret guns. Find the kids to win. The enemies are guys with guns. Here, you get to see MECHA-MICHAEL-JACKSON. He is a super cyborg robot that flies and shoots lasers. It is freaking awesome and puts transformers to shame! After this, Michael Jackson turns into a car and flies into space. This is the flight simulator part and is very difficult to figure out. Shoot down Mr. Big and see CONGRATULATIONS! which is spelled right.
Luigi-Go to pratice and beat everyone's (except the bonus character's) bonus game 1. Luigi is faster and stronger than Mario.
MediEvil is a hack and slash game involving the undead, but unlike popular games that involves zombies in some way like Resident Evil this one is less....realistic. The game has a cartoon feel and the back of the box even says that, I usually love cartoons and this one fits the bill in terms of both comedy and graphics. The story is that there is this story teller for a king who kind of went off the deep end by saying he slain an evil wizard named Zarok. Zarok, who overhears this, decideds to declare war and horrified by this and believing in Fortesques (the story teller) story he sends him out to battle but Daniel goes down at the first shot with a welhelm scream and everything. 100 years later Zarok returns but so does Fortesque but this time the cowardly knight is a skeletal one.
There's something special about being able to choose your daily driver car and take it for a spin around Seatle's street course and recognize its handling. The only complaint I have is the lack of any Italian sports cars (Ferrari, Lambourghini, etc.) They do include Porsche, but only as a tuned Ruf version (which is nothing to complain about).
graphics. they were horrible. yes even for that time. save for the stunning FMV sequences and the cool summon scenes (that got old way too quick) there was nothing pretty about this game. dull grey and bland environments abound. characters that made Lego characters look realistic, and just an overall boring and grimmy disgusting lifelesslook to the whole project.
It gives ya a fright and takes u to the Zombie Kick Ass Game NOt the number 1 resident evil game (2s better) But it sure worth it to give you a fright
Yoshi was just starting out in the original Super Mario World and Nintendo weren't entirely sure what kind of things they wanted to do with him. Look how much Yoshi has improved in this game! You can jump on enemies, stomp on enemies, spit enemies at other enemies, turn enemies into eggs, and shoot eggs with a sliding target thing (it's hard to explain but it will make perfect sense once you see it). You can also aim your tongue upward, reaching for things above you (including baby Mario when he floats away). You control Yoshi throughout the game which explains all the new things he can do.
3rd - advance from 2nd with more characters and 2 supers for each
Classic Dreamcast Game...
The gameplay is incredibly deep, with dozens of different Job Classes and hundreds of abilities to learn. You can combine abilities to create new classes - a Knight who can use Black Magic, for example, or an Archer who can Steal. The possibilities are seemingly endless.
9483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is my favorite super nintendo game and it never gets old from beginning to end. Glad to add it to my collection. If your trying to decide whether or not to buy it, just do it...because the longer you wait the more rare and expensive these classic games are going to become
2982 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since 1997 I got in the habit of beating this at least once a year. I love this game so much that I never get tired of playing it. There are very few games that I fall in love with and have to play over and over. Mass Effect, Heavy Rain, and Fable to name a few. The story is great, the characters are very memorable, and it has one of the best villains out of most of the games I've played. At certain points in the game you actually feel there is no way you can win against a guy like Sephiroth and why bother.
Best game I've played! If you like action adventure, this is the best game for it. It is sooooo cool, the movies are pretty cool also, weapon, a monster, IT LOOKS AWSOME!!!!!!! This game is totally the best, best graphics, it is just too cool. No blood so parents, no fear for children, just violence. I recomend this game to EVERYONE! No need to rent, buy it while you still can! I can't for one, to good of a game I guess.
Overall: 10
3864 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love N64 games, and this is one of the most fun ones i have. Love the fact i came play as different characters. fun for all ages.
Still, great game. It's old, but please don't be one of those people who thinks that just because something is old it's not good. I've been around people who think like that and they just ain't cool. Sure, these people get all the girls and all the friends, but what else? What's "in" sucks, and what's old is cool. You think I'm wrong? Good for you. Buy this game used for 10 dollars today.
5915 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 What a poor excuse for a Final Fantasy game, this game should have never came to america. Sure, the graphics are great but the characters make me sick and the plot seems like it came right from a Baby Sitter's Club Book. The main character Squall is suffereing from teenaged agnst, please. Oh, and the magic system (the draw and juctioning system- great idea... ahahahahahahaha. If you want a GOOD Final Fantasy get 7, 9,and 2, or 3 ( 4 and 6 for those people who think that they know Japanese.) Just stay as far away from this game as you possibly can!!!!
PS. I know everything in the game do you. I PLAY IT AND I LOVE IT.
5934 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I originally started playing this game so that I could do something with my sons. Now I like it! It is def. a very cool game. I am not a hard core gamer and I find it to be challenging but not so hard that I am totally discouraged.

3568 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great system and was very sad to see that Sega is no longer going to make systems. But have fun with this system while you still can!!!! There really cheap ...and have a slew of great titles like: Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, House of the Dead, and many many others. I recommened this even though there are more superior systems. I don't think the online game play is still active but the actual system is awesome!! Please buy and enjoy this system!!!!!!
Secondly, the music of this game is some of the coolest ever produced for a video game. From the neat intro to the music played after you defeat a boss or a level, the music in Nights is pure magic (except perhaps for the terrible end game music). And not only that, the music changes in the levels depending on how you interact with Nitopians and how well you do.
The controller is easy to use.
A little too hard at times, I had to consult a strategy guide
wager that you would at the very least like it as well. You may not find it to be as

And what are these "citizens".. at first you thought they "forgot" to finish the game graphics.. but then the genius of "vague" graphics and mumbling "speech" that you thought might be real.. but no its just noise! And what are these animals too.. But then I find myself admiring the "contextual" beauty of it.. and they have expressions as well.. I don't speak a foriegn language, even though I've traveled and know a few words here and there, I expect this game "translates well" to most any language. Just as you watch your pet's mouthings and actions, and you SWEAR you know what they are saying.. lol..
289 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 How can you go wrong with obtaining a 128 Megabyte memory card for the PS2! It's exactly the same size, there is no size fitting issue, it looks and acts like a regular memory card, and has fifteen times more space for saved games then the regular 8 Meg cards!
6311 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The nintendo 64 is a classic system. From super smash bros to mariokart 64 you can't go wrong. I love my new nintendo 64 but the gamecube is better.
6203 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The N64 works great and is fantastic overall! I'd recommend this buyer again.
7993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game can try your patience. If you are good at playing older Mario games, then you will have more than half a chance to beat this game. I found it very hard to say the least. In some levels especially toward the end, I would try a level for a couple of hours and when I would advance, I would quit, and try some weeks later when I mentally wasn't spent. I could not forget about it; every time I beat a level I would think "maybe I could do the next one." I could not beat the boss at the end and had to be satisfied with that. Almost at the end of the game, I found a cheat, it is the first time I have used cheating and it helped me mentally to keep trying, and to see the ending. I wouldn't use this until you really, really need it, because it would ruin the satisfaction level for you. To see ALL Cinemas and Levels * with the game off hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 *on controller 2 * (you must be in the second controller slot) Keep holding those buttons and access the options screen, then the tree house, then load game. You can save and keep your progress after using this.

8662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Growing up, it was either you were a Sonic kid or a Mario kid. I couldn't choose, despite growing up in a Mario household. I would go to my best friend's house, who was a huge Sonic kid and get my fix. I just bought a custom painted and refurbished Sega genesis for my girlfriend, cause growing up, she was a Sonic kid. A nostalgic gift. I love playing this game!
However, That's literally the only complaint I can muster about the game. It's a wonderful game that I would highly recommend to any of my friends and any one who asked me.
Multiplayer includes the standard deathmatch in addition to a couple of excellent alternatives. There is a realistic deathmatch where one-shot kills are prolific and fatigue play a factor. There is also arsenal and assasin.
WHAT A GAME!
GPU performance: 500 MIPS and 100 MFLOPS.
2: Moving around is kinda stupid because Mario can't move to the different direction fast enough and he slips on the floor when he moves.
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete is a fantastic RPG that despite being released on the Playstation, was still fairly overlooked. It does, however, retain a strong audience. A fine game where the effort of the creators really shows through fantastic writing, a well crafted story and some of the most well developed characters to grace the genre.
3418 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good
8018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Had to have it, I am a bit of a game collector even though I hardly ever play them anymore and all the Mario games are classics.
1315 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game originally on a friend's PC, and it was okay, played this version on my N64 and had to have it... Its much better graphics wise and blood and guts wise than the original Quake. Also, beats the crap out of DOOM64 by a long margin. You have to have it to believe it. I am hooked, now Im getting off my computer and playing some quake with my buds. Did I mention you can play more than one player? and you can play against each other too? YOU CAN
2586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fit well
1853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game for its time was good both for its gameplay and its graphics. The game was one of the first demo games I played and it was tough, but later on I got the hang of it and passed it. It took me some time but in the end, it was well worth it.
10. Shuma-Gorath (Not used by me, but still deals damage needed to prevail in this game.)
It brought adult gaming into the mainstream and proved that not all games have to have cute mascots. (I still love my Mario and Sonic mind you.)
3569 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My two favorite game systems both had short lives and a great software library (partially due to the fantastic imports available from Japan and elsewhere). They were also both made by Sega. The Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamast. Even when the Dreamcast was set to launch, people feared it wouldn't last long. Ultimately they were proved right. Sony and Nintendo (not to mention Microsoft) were just too big, and their advertising too effective. And let's not forget one of the hard and fast rules of commericalism: original ideas don't usually make money. Let's face it, most of the games to come out for these new game systems were copy-cat versions of previous games (don't get me started on the sequel subject, just how long do we have before Tony Hawk 22 and Tomb Raider 13 come out anyway?). But unlike the game systems that now rule...Dreamcast was something different.
395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am very satisfied with the product, it came in a good time and the customer service provided was great.
New additions to the series are automatic jumping and Z-targeting. The emphasis of the Zelda games has always been puzzle-solving and dungeon arrangement. You also build your attributes, receiving items including the Ocarina, learning songs whose purposes range from teleporting to opening doors to time traveling. Along with mini-games, hidden items and side quests equal, its a worthwhile experience. Graphics-wise, Hyrule never looked better and most effects in Ocarina of Time are outstanding. No need for sharp visuals and smooth framerates, but rather focus on detail and designer talent. The real-time cutscenes and the passing of day and night are impressive. The sound also holds its own on this cartridge format. The themes of Zora's Domain and Gerudo Valley are music to the ears. Zelda fans will remember tunes of Kakariko Village and Zelda's Lullaby. A big plus is that all the sound effects from previous Zelda games have made a comeback.
6808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was a great product that exceeded my expectations. It really is great for a gift. I love it and will buy more.
The look and feel of the game is excellent. The graphics are superb, and the Expansion Pak boosts them to cinematic levels. The sound is also excellent for a non-CD game, although the chatter from your squadron mates does get a little repetitive. The game is contained within a 3D environment, giving the game a flight simulator-like feel. The controls are pretty easy to get used to, though this DOES take a little practice. Fortunately, the first couple of missions are pretty easy, so you get a good chance to get familiar with the controls. The controls are the same for each ship, so you don't have to switch back and forth.
OUT!

It may not have the 200 hours of today's games, but unlike today's games it's not freaking simulated boredom. It's 30 hours of FUN and story like you've never seen before. This game changed my perspective of how videogames could be, and is guaranteed a lifetime place in my favorite collection.

5877 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game gets my vote as the best non-SEGA arcade racing game to ever make a home conversion. What do you have? A PERFECT recreation of an awesome arcade game, complete with Soul Calibur quality graphics, sweet controls, crystal clear sound, and awesome arcade gameplay. Of course the best thing about this game is that you won't have to insert any quarters time and again in order to unlock all the awesome hidden vehicles and tracks. It DOES get hard later on, but isn't that what an arcade game is supposed to do?
I'm actually replaying the game, I already beaten both of the two first worlds in under an hour. But it is a really good experience to play this old jewel again! I also own four other Spyro games: Spyro: Ripto's Rage, The Year of the Dragon (Both of thouse for my old Playstation and are VERY fun!) along with the alright, but not the same: Hero's Tale, and the crappy game some idiot thought up: The Legend of Spyro: A New Beggining. I despised thouse two games for what they had done to that cool, little dragon we use to know.
Firstly, F-Zero X Is not as complex model wise as other racing games at the time. Wipeout and its look alikes were typically much better looking games in the model department. However, Where F Zero X lacks in the model complexity department it makes up for in the sheer amount of activity due to numbers of vehicles on the track. At any given time there are 29 other vehicles on the track (maybe a few less, some die real fast) racing against you or flat out trying to kill you.
4362 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Age of Mythology series is definitely the best ever sires of real time strategy games. In all versions of the game you are allowed to control both the armies and economies of your nation. You can build buildings, creature soldiers or peasants, even priests. Your peasants you command to do the different menial tasks such as farming, mining, and building castles. While your armies roam the land either defending your peasants, sieging enemy castles, or raiding their peasants. Priest have the power to convert both peasants and soldiers. If you like being king of the world, this is for you. Finally, I just want to differentiate between the games. Age of Empires is the oldest of the games and should run on any computer, but I wouldn't recommend the game without either the Rise of Rome Expansion Pack or just buying the Age of Empires Gold Edition. These two correct many problems with the original Age of Empires. Next game up the latter for medium computers is Age of Kings (that's what I'm still playing.) It can run on just about any computer with sixty four megs of ram and a two hundred megahertz processor. I use it on a five hundred megahertz and a one point four gigahertz. Next game up is the Age of Mythology. This introduces a whole new realm of playing to the sires. This one you civilization chooses different gods to worship and is given power from them. Unfortunately you only get two really spectacular god powers each game and you can only use them once, but then it keeps the game to more strategy and less luck and wildcards. (It is fun to get the wildcards when you have them though!) This game should have a processor of I would say at least a six hundred and a graphics card at least thirty two megabytes; and lastly this is not the game for everybody. I still use Age of Kings/Conquerors not because of my computer, but because I don't like all the crazy stuff in Mythology; I think it distracts from the medieval battle tactics. Really choosing between Mythology and Age of Kings is just a matter of personal opinion. I'd say download both demos and try them both; or if you have the money to blow, buy them both. Either way I think you'll love both of them. Well that's all for me. This is just a general over view don't take my words as gold check out the specs and requirements yourself. I just wanted to help point you in the right direction.
7551 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What was the price paid for the game even though it is a collectors and a classic it's well worth it it came very well packaged no damage to the cartridge at all no damage what so ever very clean all over
6089 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you liked the old type of Sonic games on the Megadrive then you'll love this. This game is hard unless your talented at games like me. I gave this a five because of the grate impact on me as my first PS1 game with Crash 1. This is a 2d platformer(the way you move left or right)and I prefer it to Rayman 2 that is 3D(I do prefer 3D games to 2D).
9054 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I liked this game alot and I am trying to find it again. You start out being betrayed by your brother and are being burned at the stake. While on the stake you cry out for help by anyone, anything!! The point of this game is to avenge your own death... as a spirit. You set traps in a castle (in which you can add on rooms and chambers) to get peoples souls where you trade them in for money or use them to create monsters and stuff. I loved this game it was dark, scary and fun!!
Some of the tougher characters take a lot of hits before they're even to the point of getting to maim-ability. You have to shoot the boss of the game 10 times in the head before he even shows signs of weakening.
Cons:
4138 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Phew! Meeting those scenareo goals were tough. But I did it. Anyone who likes themeparks for real or on game, will love this. Don't be fooled by the title. It isn't just rollercoasters. In fact there is more of the other types of themepark attractions than there is coasters. Lots more.
6439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires II is a fun game, as well as educational. It's a lot like Pharaoh and Caesar III. You take control of different armies and conquerers, such as Ghengis Khan or Barbarossa. Though it may be difficult controlling huge armies at one time, you get use to it. Age of Empires II also has a different control interface that you need to get used to: left-click selects, right-click commands. Taunts are added to this game; they are mostly for fun. Some taunts are: "Raiding party!", "Nice town; I'll take it.", and "It is good to be the king." Overall, Age of Empires II is a great game. I recommend it to strategy game- lovers who are quick with their mouse.
My recommendation is WWF NO MERCY. However the WCW fan may prefer WCW/NWO Revenge. THQ made the better wrasslin' games on the 64. Stick with them.
4779 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing RPG's for quite a few years, and have played quite a few of the old AD&D titles but hadn't seen anything that really interested me since Ultima VII (VIII was a bit of a dog - I never finished). By the time I got bored about halfway through Eye of the Beholder III, I thought I'd had it with AD&D. But then I saw so much written about BG, and from the reviews, etc. I knew I would love it, so I rushed out and bought a new PC, and BG (bundled with TSC) was the first thing I loaded.
Beautiful landscapes and exciting roller coaster like transports from one island to another makes this game enjoyable and exciting.
The graphics to this game are not very good. It is done in sprites. Sometimes I myself prefer sprits but I do not like the character drawings of this game. On the walking town to town map character looks chubby and short. The drawings are basic and too simple. There was only one of the dragons I liked the look of. However there is a little onion that can follow around with your party who beat all other RPGs in cuteness of a single character. The cute hopping onion is defiantly the main reason to buy this game if you do.
The graphics are good but first there was the necessity to download a patch which at 25mb is the largest game patch I've ever seen, the list of fixes is enough to make you question why they released it in that form anyway.
9372 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't really care for cases or boxes because I need room for shelves and cases that carry discs or cartridges! The game came completely unharmed and it played perfectly! Originally I had this game but was supposed stolen but didn't matter as it was bought used before I got a replacement!
2480 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the best. The only thing I didn't like about this game is that the graphics were not the best. If you're a first time N64 buyer, get this game! It's really fun, and pretty competitive. It is even better when you have friends to play with.
8879 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkeys, Monkeys, and Country music??
This commentary on "Ocarina of Time" was written as a gaming article for a retro-gaming site back in May of 1999. I was going to post it on Amazon but for some reason never got around to it. Mike London, November 3, 2007
Graphically the old game is showing its age, I must admit. The 640x480 resolution and low-bit sprites are all here, but strangely enough it did not detract from the overall experience one bit. For all you "What are you crazy, 640x480? This ain't the stone age!" people who might pass up on this game because the graphics are dated, do no despair! There is a great mod/upgrade for Baldur's Gate called BGtutu which converts the engine to the newer Baldur's Gate II engine, with dramatic effect.
GoldenEye has never left my 64 rotation and again, I still love to play the multi player when my friends come over. I will again stress to those of us who are parents (like myself) that you should maybe think otherwise if you have some young gamers because it is very violent and very bloody. For those of you without that restriction, go wild and get this game. You won't be disappointed.
Music: Some of the best music ever is on the soundtrack. One track, Aeris's Theme is worth the price of it alone. This song can't be put into words, one of the most beautiful compositions I've ever listened to(and it's played in a sad scene but I won't spoil it). But this soundtrack also included a wide variety of music like rock(Boss Battle Theme)New age sounding(City of the Ancients), funk like(Wall Market) to ominous(Those Chosen By The Planet).
Crash's graphics are quite impressive for a PlayStation game, including well-textured environments and colorful characters. Effects like running water and mist and fog are great eye-candy. The visuals are the game's only saving grace. Controlling the bandicoot can be a hassle since it doesn't use analog. You're forced to deal with sensitivity of the crosspad and at times will result in unwanted deaths.
9403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I consider the original Wipeout for Sony Playstation to be the finest fururitic racer ever (yes, I like it better than any incarnation of F-Zero). From the gorgeous visuals and multiple lighting scenes for every level (Vemom and Rapter Classes), to the awesome, awesome, AWESOME soundtrack (my favorite soundtrack of any racing ever), Wipeout was perfect. But many people don't agree with me. They prefer Wipeout's sequel, Wipeout XL. It's easy to see why.
2830 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome. It's been a long time since I played it, but I know that from playing it it's one of the best games you could own. It's a very fun and creative game. The various levels and story make it a great game to enjoy.
4869 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This rumble pak is too big, uses up batteries rapidly, it's so heavy that you hardly ever feel the rumble, Nintendo should have built-in rumble in thre controllers this sucks.
Be warned, this game is HUGE, it goes on for ages and never gets boring. The slight downside is that there's a section at the end on Xen, the alien planet which changes tack too much and can be frustrating to complete.
As for the gameplay, that's great too. The difficulty can challenge and even frustrate you, but you'll be coming back for more. If I have to say anything bad about the game, Dixie Kong is not here yet and there are no digitized voices. There are grunts and cries, but no actual words.
Replay Value: 8.7
4602 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When Quake 2 originally hit the PC, it's unabashed violence and surprisingly addictive gameplay not only outshined it's predecessor, it killed it before it hit the ground. The PS1 and N64 conversions took much longer than expected to be released, and fans of the PC game anxiously awaiting the home versions were a little worried about the quality of the home system versions. When Quake 2 hit the PS1, those fears were dead in the dirt. Activision, Hammerhead, and Id all did a fantastic job bringing Quake 2 to the PS1 while keeping a surprisingly smooth frame rate (although the graphics aren't as good as its PC counterpart, but that was expected) and the unabashed violent addictive gameplay remains intact. The game makes excellent use of the PS1's Dual Shock controller; the controls are easy and every button is to be used. While some parts can be frustrating and the game has a rather steep learning curve, Quake 2 is still undeniably fun. Those still holding on to they're PS1's can find this bad boy at a rather cheap price and have a great time with this near classic FPS.
Boss
94 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It sometimes go out of wack when the clapping parts in a song show up(like you hit it but it doesn't register no matter how hard you smack it) and the game doesn't register you as singing onkey when you know for a fact you are but other than that it works great!
If you haven't played this game, you need to experience it and understand what it has done to the world of first-person shooters. The enemies. The weapons. The music. The levels. The creativity. It's a cinematic experience in itself, and you're the star.
5630 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i love this idea every one wants to know where i got the collar necklace love it love love love this
These 5 diverse classes alone are worth playing the game over multiple times. When you beat the game, a harder difficulty opens up, and new, more powerful items and creatures are yours to discover!
Anyone who first experienced the game back in its height of popularity knows that Doom wasn't just a game, but a phenomenon. It has always consumed gamers (and continues to do so) into its ever addicting gameplay without compromise. The premise here is really simple: A base on Mars is attacked by Demons through a portal from Hell, and so the higher ups send the whole military platoon in to take care of the situation while you stand guard at the portal entrance. Of course, everyone gets wiped out except for you and now it's your job to go in and eliminate every last one Hell's minions. Yeah, it's a dumb story and it was eventually improved drastically with Doom 3 many years later, but the one aspect that makes these older Doom games superior to Doom 3 is that its simplistic storyline allows you to pick up the game from the get-go. There's no 30-minute CG cutscenes to introduce the game to you. There's no hour-long tutorial demonstrating how to play the game. No, immediately upon starting you're thrusted right into gameplay, and quite honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. Doom is to 3D what Contra is to 2D gaming: an instant, immersive, and entertaining experience, albeit somewhat mindless.
1857 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Graphics: 8/10 - These are often stunning but at times a bit murky. Mostly they are really fabulous to look at, though, in every scene the makers of Crash have put in a lot of effort.
483 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Brought this game for myself, it brought back memories when I was 6 playing this all summer long. Game came as described and fast also.
The online play is fantastic. You can have up to 8 players battling it out, in huge 4vs4 matches, everyone vs everyone or you can have say 3 human players vs 5 computer opponents (or any combination).
8374 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I got my first Commodore proto-computer back in the early eighties this is exactly the sort of game that I hoped would one day be developed for home computers. If you are like me, you daydreamed alot about the various starship designs and the possibility of all-out fleet action between the Federation and the Klingon and Romulan Empires. Well, you don't have to do it in your mind anymore. Not only that, you also get the most overwhelming of all opponents, the Borg - and the chance to team up against them. Plus you get ships from minor races showing up, like the Ferengi, Jem Hadar, Cardassians, etc.
Some missions are repetitve
1524 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When 3D fighters first entered with Virtua Fighter, I was not impressed. Add to that the dismal nature of the Star Wars fighter and things did not look promising. But, thanks to games such as this and Tekken, the fighting genre was saved. I first played this game in the arcade and was floored. Gone were the glitching side to side movements. In were smooth animations with amazingly real movement. It translated as close to flawlessly as possible to the Playstation.
8755 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The product is really good, it was exactly what I expected the product is. I can recommend it to all who are interested in purchasing this item. The people should buy it because it's reliable...
Seriously, there's a lot to like about SUPERMAN 64. You won't need any sort of defect warranty, because the second you flip the POWER switch, it works every time. It's refreshing to buy an electronic device, knowing that it's electrical circuits will never fail you.
8076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, this is the game that has it all: graphics, sound, multiplayer, length, innovation, fun, and, it's TREK! Yes, this IS a Star Trek game, and unlike many Trek games, you WON'T be dissapointed with this amazing game! After you finish the 40 levels of single player, multiplayer will leave plenty more. Wait, what am I doing? I gotta go play it...now.
For younger players (and adults who might not admit to enjoying these games), Sonic Adventure and Evolution 2 are good. However, E2 does get frustrating at points, and I admit to using the GameShark to help me finish. (I was getting bored with the fighting sequences and just wanted to get on to solving the game.)
1353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good game for it's time period, kinda miss the old 64 graphics. The cartridge came before it's due date, and it works wonderfully. Thanks.
IMPROVEMENTS 1- Graphics: Way better than the predecessors. Too bad that the other features in the game didn't get quite to the same level! 2- Soundtrack: Improved somehow. 3- Combat: A tactical display now allows you to actually play battles. Nice idea to start with, but it is somehow badly put to work and has some incredible bugs (like archers that shoot down stealth bombers! ).
If you like games with lots of atmosphere, you will probably like AMBER. If you like lots of challenging puzzles, you might not. Still, at under ten bucks it's a worthwhile way to spend a rainy afternoon or two.
5013 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when this game first came out. Everyone was thick on "Resident Evil" it's all anyone ever talked about. I remember seeing a Silent hill add in game magazine I picked up. It peaked my interest at the time. Survival horror games were just starting thier popularity. I went down to my local "Funcoland"(yeah that long ago! remember them?) and picked up a copy. No one knew what Silent hill was about and at that time good luck finding something about it on the internet. All I had to go on where my whims and what the back of the case told about the game.
I recommend you buy this game if you can find it for a reasonable price. You won't be disappointed. It may seem outdated for those who played MVC2 before playing this but it's still enjoyable.
1164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An excellent game for those (like me) who like adventure and a new challenge. Zelda will leave you amazed. In the game you must save your world by fighting evil monsters, solving puzzles, beating bosses and temples etc., and getting the items and weapons etc. you need in order to achieve these and other goals.
3779 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Sonic Adventure" starts off easily, and it's easy to get the hang of. However, it may be a little too easy. There is a lack of puzzles, and the bosses are pretty simple. I guess I'm the person that likes RPG's like Zelda and Grandia II. The story is ho-hum, but once you get into it, the story really breaks off in different directions when you see the game through the eyes of the six characters you can play with. That's the main reason I gave it four stars instead of two. Also, the graphics and sound are good. My only gripe about the sound is when characters are talking, their mouths speak Japanese, but they speak in English. (That is if you have the language set on English.) I'm not sure of this, but I AM sure that their oral movements definately aren't matching what they say. Overall, it's worth the price.
4337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since getting into gaming, I have noticed the growing trend of the 1st person shooter genre, the trend set by those wonderfull guys at ID software. Ever since Doom, each new game seems to be related to it somehow, all of them set in space or in the future, having you battle it out with hell spawn, or outlandish aliens. With weapons consisting of nothing more then hyper blasters and rocket launchers. I got sick of this overdone theme fast and longed for a 1st person shooter with a story, one that captured me and consisted of more then just blowing up crap.
3351 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There are usually too many football video games that try to bring more special graphics displays, then the actual enjoyment of humor and feel of a actual enjoyable sports video game in the entire field of video games. The only acception, NFL Blitz, is a perfect exception to the rule, blending in some zany humor, and some incredible things you'd never expect to see in any real football game.
6080 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This has always been one of my favorite games of all time. Ever since I was a little kid. :D
4380 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had big worries about this game. I used to play the old point and click adventures of indy and I was worried that, like its predisecors this would be insanley difficult. Thankfully it is not. I am a bad puzzle solver and luckily, (With the exception of the pyramid of the sun dial puzzle) none of the puzzles are that hard. The graphics are quite nice and the levels are gigantic and tempt lots of exploration. All of the characters are well done and interesting. The music is nice and you have a lot of neat weapons to choose from. However this game does have some flaws. First off, sometimes you will be walking around wondering what the heck you are supposed to be doing. Second, some of the enviorments are way too big. The third and biggest flaw is that the last levels are way out of place. The 2nd to last is strange but acceptable, but the last level is wayyyy out of place. The last flaw is that the ending is really dissapointing. Overall this is a fun game that will take up a lot of your time and is definatly one of the better Lucasarts titles.
As with a lot of RPG's, it's not very good. I, and many will play through again for the positives I mentioned above, but there's really no incentive to come back and play through the 25+ hour quest again. Only for the hardcore RPGer, I guess.
6740 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If Tomb Raider is Indiana Jones, then Tomb Raider 2 is James Bond. Alot of TR fans don't like this game, mainly because it has too much shootem'up elements to it than it should. I agree. But that dosn't make it bad. Infact TR2 is the most playable game of all the TR's. It dosn't have those irritating dark scenes too much. Lara actions are better. And the puzzles are better thought out. I'm also a fan of Far Eastern art. So the last levels realy felt good to explore. I'm giving this 4 stars because alot of the levels, although great to play, don't have the original soul of Tomb Raider. I would rather explore an Incan Ruin than Venice, or, Atlantis than an Oil Rig. You get my point. But I still like playing it and I have never tired of it.
3. Vanila dome(86%)Good world, but it could have been inproved.
6370 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I randomly thought of this game, and when I wanted to buy it, I came here. It was well-priced, and I enjoyed playing this game.
I ran this game on an XP-equipped P4, with a 64MB AGP card, and had no problems (other than those involving the evil aliens and homicidal fellow humans). Graphics and sound were smooth, and I suffered no CTD's. As with all FPS games, The Rotten Review strenuously endorses the Nostromo Speedpad.
613 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Twisted Metal 3 is overrated - because it's not normally considered the worst Playstation game. I can't believe how unfun this game is. The control is laughable. The gameplay is incredibly boring. The music is Rob Zombie, which is bad enough before you hear it 5,000 times in a row. The game also adds almost nothing new. Don't even rent this one.
This game sounds great also. YOu can hear the rifle reverb, all vechicles sound different and it has very interesting mood music.
The game will take roughly twelve hours to complete the first run through without a strategy guide. I advise you to listen to all the Codec conversations and watch all the cinematics because this is where the game truly shines. It's story. With six times the lenght of the average Hollywood thriller, the story is developed much more, and the characters are fleshed out far better than in any film I can think of.
FYI, in addition to the game itself, there are also tons of "third-party" addons available online. If you like the original Star Trek series, do a google for "elite force space station k7" and you'll find some great classic trek add-ons for this game, for example.
This game is a cleaner, crisper version of SimCity 2000, perhaps an update, but in no way a new game in the series.
Feel the power of creating a coaster with an excitement rating of 7.5, intensity of 7 and a nausea rating of 4.
Before I start, I want to get a few things straight. Unfortunatly, Sega made the Dreamcast its last system. The Sega Saturn turned most people away from the Dreamcast, mainly because the Saturn (...). Production of Dreamcasts has stopped. This is why I own two. Sega moved from a First-Party developer to a Third-Party. They have started producing games for other systems, starting with Sonic Adventure 2 on the GameCube and Sonic Advance for the Game Boy Advance. Why they're hugging onto Nintendo, I don't know, but I thank them for not going to Sony or Microsoft. With that said, let's start talking about the game.
2915 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good game
I can say the same for the sound and music quality.
The computer stinks. I could beat them playing as GDI(good guys), which is hard because NOD(bad guys) has all the best vehicles, units, and structures. I love the Missile Silo. Talk about blitzcrieg on your opponent!! If you want to have about a 65% chance of winning, stick with NOD.
8349 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I thought originally the size of the files for the game just wouldn't load onto my laptop with a lot of space was taken. Now I have a brand new desk top and the disk will not even begin to upload on to the desktop.
As Nintendo's last home console to use cartridges and their first console to use 3D 64-bit graphics, it became a major success. Its games set the status quo for many 3D platformers, 3D racers, and adventure games to come.
If you're familiar with the way Sonic 1 plays, then you know how to complete this game. However, they added a critical improvement in Sonic 2, which is the spindash. All you do is crouch down (By holding the bottom d-pad) and hit the jump button to start spinning, and when you release both buttons to go much faster than without the spindash. With the spindash, you can also plow into most Badniks and they'll get destroyed.
The other main deviation the game takes from the platformer genre is in its level design. Through the use of foreground and background objects, Aladdin can search behind (or in front) of these to discover 1-ups, health pickups, gems (which are used to buy more 1-ups and continues), or more apples. This works exceedingly well, considering it adds depth, not only to the visuals, but to the actual level design and overarching gameplay. I consider this aspect (much like many other aspects of Aladdin) absolutely revolutionary for its time. This was the very first Genesis game I played, and at the time, I was so used to games that didn't have any visual depth to them, that this idea of searching behind background objects absolutely blew my mind. Like I said, it's still impressive to this day. I still think it's absolutely revolutionary.
5112 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am serious when I say this is my favorite game of all time.... this game was and still is unbelievably awesome. I used to always play my 64, and I did it with my cousins, playing all the game modes in this game. Nothing about this game is bad... nothing. I think this game is better than any game, on any system, or in any genre. And I am a serious addict when it comes to gaming. I just can't get over this games brilliance, how easy it is, or how underrated it is.
-Small fanbase of hardcore racing nuts may make multiplayer a bit hard for newcomers (Dirt 3 players seem pretty nice though)
7225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Abe's Oddworld games are some of the Great Games to have ever come out, and the sequel to Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (being this game: Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus) helped cement that fact. It is not enough to even call them "classics". They're not only absolute top quality puzzle-style games, but they have great stories, unique and original characters and settings, and beautiful graphics. And just the originality of that beautiful new world, "mythology", and those fantastic concepts make these games a cut above the rest!
5848 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just as much fun as Rollercoster Tycoon with extra stuff in it. If you don't buy this game with its other you are missing out on some of the most fun you can have. Just think you can be the ride maker and be the cause of people looseing their lunch from riding your ride. If I had a top ten list this one would be on it.
8655 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 good but only 1 player
-Secondly, the story itself. X4's storyline is very well put together. It starts out with Magma Dragoon destroying sky lab and bringing it down on a city full of people, killing them. X and Zero, of course, demand to know why a reploid of the repliforce caused this terrible catastrophe. However, Colonel (2nd leader of the repliforce) refuses to surrender to X, and so the entire repliforce wages war against the Maverick Hunters. This was all really caused by Sigma, who was playing both sides to get them to fight each other. I like the addition of the sub-characters (Double and Iris), and how they play key roles in each of the main characters' storylines. I won't reveal any more of the story, so as not to spoil the game endings.
9444 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To me this is the best version of Ms. Pac-man to date. It holds 100% true to the classic. That is if you want it to. You are givin' alot of options which allow you to play on different types of mazes. There are BIG ones, MINI ones, STRANGE ones & CLASSIC ones too. I liked the STRANGE mazes, there was even a maze that hardly had any walls and Ms. Pac-man was out of control. It was cool though. The two player mode is GREAT! You and another player can clear a maze together or alternating. But be careful, if you play simultaneously you run the risk of bumping into one another, this sends you both flying in opposite directions. In this case you could easily go flying into a ghost and lose a life. With all that being said remember if you just want to play the classic original it's all here in this one super game pack. Where would we all be if Ms. Pac-man didn't swallow?
Where it falls short of VII is the plot, which just isn't as good, mainly because you don't meet the final boss until the very end of the game (also a criticism of IX). She really has little to do with the game until the closing hours, and it could have been thought out a little better. As for the main character Squall, he is a little stereotypical for the genre, an angst ridden teenager, with many personal issues, not original but it still works. These are only minor criticisms and on the whole this game, like its predecessor, is amazing.
684 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fully working game, good purchase, legit.
37 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I initially gave this one star because it was crashing on me constantly but I recently narrowed it down to a plug-in I was using for my porsche wheel. Game plays well and looks gorgeous when image spanned across three monitors. I would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the annoying Microsoft Games for Live application that makes you go through hoops to set it up and causes problems of it's own (occasional crashes)
610 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GoldenEye 007 is one of the best game's for the, Nintendo 64. When, you hear pepole say the game is Great, There not kiddin'. I've had This game for a while, And I'm still coming back to it. It's an 11/10 Replay value. I'd give GoldenEye 007 more Star's if I could. If, you want a game that you can come back to, Year's later, And a GREAT game for alot of pepole, Then Get GoldenEye 007.
7995 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Donkey Kong series was a very big part of my childhood. I was obsessed with trying to beat all the levels, find all the bonus barrels, and beat all the lost world levels...and donkey kong country 3 is no exception. Its hard to pick a favorite of the 3, but i think it would be this one. You play as dixie kong and the very strong toddler kiddie kong, bc donkey and diddy have been kidnapped. You start out swimming around a lake to find wrinklys save spot and the general store which you can buy special items from. Also theres funky's place and now he has a motor boat for you, and as you find special items he can make you better forms of transportation, including a hovercraft and a jet ski. Unlike the other games... you can now travel in a non linear pattern for the most part..sometimes you can choose which world you would like to complete first. The levels are fun and challenging, and each one has 2 bonus levels and a hero coin to collect...which consists of a croc with armor and a shield which is the hero coin and you are given a barrel and have to find a way to make him guard the other way so you can throw the barrel and knock him out, thus collecting the hero coin, this is sometimes hard to do which adds to the fun. There are bear coins to collect throughout the level, and sometimes you have to search all over the level as they may be well hidden. You can spend the bear coins at the general store or and the mini game spot called swankys sideshow. I remember this was the most fun part for me when i was a kid bc its like visiting a carnival and you play a little game where you have to throw balls at croc targets and you play against cranky. If you win you win tons of bananas and bear coins...so much fun. This game takes a while to complete and can get frustrating at times...but is a great pick for anyone who has a super nintendo. If you like mario and the other donkey kong games...then give this one a try youll like it
If you really want a PS2, XBox or GC, I suggest waiting until they drop their price which they most likely will. I do not think those consoles are worth that much.
At certain times in the year, there are little festivals you can go to, as well as competitions you can compete in. There are horse races, dog races, a swimming race, an "easter egg" hunt, vegetable competition, and other things. In the winter, you can't grow any crops outside. Your only option is if you have built the greenhouse. Having the greenhouse allows you to grow any crop at any time of the year. If you don't have it, the mine opens for a certain amount of time, and you can use that to attempt to make money.
A new breed of water racer that made you feel like you were right on the water.
It's clearly a classic N64 game, worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Goldeneye64 and Ocarina of Time. I'd only that having a decent N64 analog helps.. a lot. If your controller's analog is dying due to wear and tear, you'll have a hard time towards the end of the game.
Well thats all I got to say, This game would have been great if it weren't for the attrocious graphics and I think the PC version was alot better.
7259 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It Works Great!
There are 48 scenerios in the self play. The AI is ok. If you are a defensive player, you will like this game.
Bravery and Faith, were stupid but at least the concept "works" (sorta) but again, just like random encounters I hate random stats.

7334 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For those who don't know this is a portable platforming Mario game for Gameboy. Simple controls, A to jump, B to run or use fireballs and the directional pad to duck and move. This feels like a mix and sequel to Super Mario World in terms of look and gameplay. They did a lot with the gameboy's limitations. This is an amazing game by any standard let alone the original tiny, hard to see Super Mario Land for Gameboy. This game offers bigger, detailed graphics, new enemies, new moves, new power ups (like the flying carrot), and a whole new land to explore with 20+ levels to beat. Mario Land is divided into 6 sections, the moon, the tree, the house (Mario is shrank), the pumpkin (which is haunted), the sea, and the mechanical statue of Mario. Each of these sections has a few levels, complete with a boss. The great thing about this game is the diversity, rather than Super Mario World which recycled the same background graphics in each level, Super Mario Land 2, each level has a different theme, like being in a bee hive, underground, a haunted house, a witches workshop, a lake, the moon and so on. There is no multi-player mode. It's a fun game, with all of the new enemies and challenges, and there are two exits to each level, a normal exit and an exit that leads to a bonus round with one of 2 games (crane game or a mouse hunt game) for items and 1-Ups. It is also a fairly quick game too, when you get good at it, the game will only take 4 hours get up to the boss (who is Wario). The other bosses are very cheesy, and they are a giant bird, a witch, an octopus and so on. There are no Color Gameboy features and there are 3 battery save slots (it instantly saves after each level).
5099 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This may not be the sequel but it is still a very fun game to keep the Metal Gear Solid fan occupied. One of the best features is that you get to be the NINJA! Get this game if you like MGS or the Ninja
The enemies are great.
Wrong. The game is 2D, it merely looks 3D. It IS realistic, however. There is far more detail in 2D than could ever have been done in 3D and still hae it run on everyone's machine.

7059 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can't beat the classics: NES SNES and now even N64 is considered classic. Perfect Dark will be fun for the rest of my life. The game itself is in great condition and I will be playing this one frequently.
5692 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a lot of fun, but it's got a lot of problems, too. The characters can get annoying, the gameplay can get repetitive, the storyline has a lot of weird moments....It's a good game overall, but even though I still own a copy, I'm not sure if I'll ever take the time to play through it again.
2343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the greatest Gameboy game of all time. Don't let those closet communists tell you any different. This is it. And this is coming from someone who's favorite video game of all time is Link's Awakening. No ifs ands or buts about it. It would be hard for those who weren't around in the late 90s to understand. But when this thing came out it was so HUGE I would even have to put it in the top 10 video games of all time, easily. There's a reason it came out with it's own cartoon, comic book, movie etc. etc. etc. This really is the quintessential Gameboy game.
7874 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the classic Zelda game, the one that enshrined the franchise in video game history. This game is still fun after almost 20 years - and it's now available on Wii. Great music, beautiful worlds, fun and challenging levels. Unique amongst video games at the time (or even today), it has a rich plot, including a dramatic opening level. The switch between the Light and Dark worlds works great. At some points the game gets ridiculously difficult, but usually it is pretty manageable. Just make sure to buy enough potions to increase your health!
2. Skill/abilities system second only to Guild Wars (imo).
The Dreamcast had the most unique set of games ever for a console.. The only console that's come even close to the Dreamcast's greatness was the Xbox. (which I thought of as Dreamcast 2, with the similar controller)..
5133 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 greatest ps1 game hands down. as I write this I cant image how Nintendo's games sell for 3x times the amount of ps1 ps2 games n don't hold a candle to gems like this one
Everything in green is Japanese. You would need a hand book to help you with pokemon names,moves,and types. Items will be hard to learn to. You don't have to learn how to speck Japenase,just learn how to read it. Once you can,It's the same as red and blue.
the ugly- The Three Little Pigs and Wario.
6552 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great buy for fans of the Final Fantasy Series. It contains two games in one release. Although the graphics for these games have been improved upon a little bit do not expect modern graphics by any means.
Fairly smart enemies and a wide variety of aliens. Challenging bosses as well.
The graphics and audio in this game are superb and DOESN'T look like a PS1 game one bit...and that's a good thing. The game sports beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds and the characters are very well designed. The gameplay is what's different from most platformers...you can't jump on people or shoot people. This isn't Mario or Metroid here this is Abe. You have to defeat enemies by either possessing them with your mind and walking them off ledges, walking them into traps, or just plain old avoid them. You can hide in shadows as well. You have to save your pals by having them help you turn valves etc.
Thankfully if you don't -want- to be freeing him, you don't have to. By virtue of the game's multiple endings, you're allowed to do what you believe is 'right'. Albeit containing dated graphics, a massive amount of space required to save (almost an entire card) and loading times comperable to a presidential term, it's a really good game. It does allow you a few choices in regard to storyline, but its real gem is trap upgrading, a castle building system and the ability to create various creatures to serve you. If only it had more plot flexibility... I would've had no qualms donating some of my funds gotten off of squashing merchants to fund a family's operation to save their ailing daughter, but no, I have to kill them -too-. Such is the price of undynamic scripting.
The storyline is also very entertaining and satisfying. You are always joining up with people and other characters betray you! The cut-scenes develop the characters very well and the plot was thought out very well, too. I always want to keep playing to find out what happens next!
6970 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This version of the trilogy absolutly stunk to high heaven. What the hell happend??? I first brought the MK Trilogy on PC. But after I upgraded to Windows 98 the game would not install anymore, it only worked on Win 95. So I saw the playstaion version, but I never liked the PS and I saw that it was exactly the same as the PC version.. so I figured the N64 version would be just the same.... wrong!!!! There is about 20 charactors missing from the 64 version for some unknown reason. They could well have included them but for some reason this game is more like Mortal Kombat 3 with a few extra charactors.
- The entrances are very dodgy.
The music in this game is fantastic as well. Some tracks that especially stick out are DK isles, Jungle Japes and Fungi Forest. The quality of the music makes the game play value even better. (They made a Donkey Kong 64 soundtrack but unfortunately it's not in the bundle.)
I figure I'll throw in some points about playing this on a more current system, since I experienced some issues here and there. Being a game made for Windows 98 it doesn't translate perfectly over to an XP 32 bit system. I have no idea what this would do on Vista's 64 bit architecture. Basically when re-installing it I got a strange error with the option to "ignore". You can definitely get away with doing that and then it will install fine. Strangely every time you reinsert the disc to play some more you have to cancel out of the install process and that "ignore" message comes up as well. I'm not sure if this is just my system, but I recommend saving quite frequently, at least every time you hit a "load" screen. For some reason the game will randomly crash after a little while and it exits out completely for you. This can be frustrating if you've been playing for a while, because it doesn't auto save between load screens. Otherwise it played very smoothly on the newer system. You can also get the Unreal Anthology which has been updated to handle Windows XP. Oh and this was on a Pentium 4, 3.0 ghz system.
This is the Survival Horror god. RE3 is perhaps the most scary(insert shocking here) game of the series I have played yet. Rather than face several boss charactors at obvious areas, Nemisis, the big, bad boss of this game will literally chase you throughout the game. I still remember fondly the first time I saw his distorted face. And I remember well his tenacious persuit of me causing my fingers to curl and my stomach to clench. He is scary.
All the classic elements that made Megaman shine among games in the 80's and 90's return with upgraded graphics, sound and overall aesthetic presentation!
1078 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What isn't great about this game? I'm so glad that this game has so many reviews because it definitely deserves it. Ocarina of Time remains one of my favorite videogames of all time. Yes, the generation of gaming is getting wider and graphics are getting beautiful with each console but The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, on N64, doesn't add up to them. Well, at least to me it doesn't. I've seen a few 1 star reviews about people bashing the game only because it's no "everquest" or "Halo". This game is so good that you don't compare its style or graphics with something in today's modern gaming. This is an old school game. You just don't compare old games to new ones. I believe there's a favorite for every generation. This one happened to fall into the N64 genre, when gaming was really starting to pick up. And honestly, you think over 700 5-star reviews were written all by children? We were children when we all played the game! And looking back as adults now we cherish it as a classic and one of the best in videogame history. Kids that didn't get to exprience the NES, SNES, and N64 missed out on a great gaming genre and though the generation of gaming today is awesome there's nothing on the classics.
1491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Doom(1995). The Playstation rerelease of the 1993 classic, and also including the expansion, Ultimate Doom, and its sequel, Doom II.
Length of game - Do not listen to reviews such as Xbox Official Magazine saying it is a lengthy game. I finished it in one weekend. Friday night, Sat and Sunday. I would estimate around 10-12 hours solid play. BUT..If you go back and replay the missions for a better score, then it can drag out much further. But like I said, to play through and complete the tasks, it is not a long game.
7594 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with our purchase and delivery.
I don't really remember much of the music. Recently, I was able to use VGMusic (great site) to listen to F-Zero X MIDIs, and based on what I heard, it didn't seem very impressive. Perhaps it's because these rock-like guitar riffs don't appeal to me. Give me soft jazz, western, or classic any day! Sound effects stick better in my mind, and they are pretty good. The thing that sticks out the most is probably the wail as you fall...off...the...track...KABOOM! Visually, F-Zero X had been kind of lacking. The textures were bleh, and the backgrounds were just fog or clouds. Even though it's not visually or aurally appealing, F-Zero X is still an extremely fun game to play.
The game can be played by just about anyone. Sure you can't save but you've got to remember the games AGE! Saving wouldn't become a norm until the early 90's in the day and age of the SNES.

9494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yoshi's Island/Super Mario World 2 is one of the greatest Super Nintendo games that was ever created. There have been many great games out there that had won my heart as well as fans from back in the day. Earthbound, Terranigma, Super Mario Allstars, Super Mario Kart, Starfox, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger and many many others. This is one game that you need to own in your collection even if your not a collector of the old school games. It is one of the best looking, best controlled, and best platforming game i believe of all time for the SNES. (Super Mario World is good but Yoshi's Island beats it) Everything about this game just has it slated as perfect.
In this game, Crash "helps" Cortex to "save the world" by collecting crystals, despite the fact that Crash's sister, Coco, knows Cortex's true intentions. However, Crash doesn't know until near the end, due to a terrible signal quality.
The story goes something like this: X, a new breed of robot who can think and make decisions on his own, was unearthed from the remains of an ancient laboratory by Dr. Cain. Fascinated by X, Cain produced his own series of these robots, ignoring the risks. Several of them became Mavericks and began disobeying human orders. To counter this, Cain built Maverick Hunter robots, led by the ultra-powerful Sigma. Unfortunately, after Sigma battled a mysterious red robot called ZERO, he too became a Maverick, bringing Cain's worst fears to life. Oddly enough, Zero went back to normal and joined X. Together they set out to destroy all of the Maverick bots. Unfortunately, Zero was destroyed in action, forcing X to continue alone. Once he ultimately stopped Sigma, he realized the battle was only beginning. It would be continued in future Mega Man X games.
2898 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent
All-in-all this is a great game that I would recommend to anyone interested in something new in the gaming world. Max Payne is first class all the way, and those interested may want to check out the soon to be released Max Payne comic.
2302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A really neat and hard to find game that is different from the usual
This is my undisputed favorite game of all time. I bought it in 1998 or so because I had played and loved Mega Man 3 for the Nintendo NES System - Video Game Console when I was young. This game was nothing like that game or any other Megaman games. It was in 3-D and had a story that would blow your mind. I have played through this game around 50 times and no every single part of it by heart.
6886 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like this game it's very good. Get this game and you'll have a lot of fun.
4832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even when it first came out, Delta Force wasn't really a groundbreaking game. However, what it may have lacked in graphics and animation accuracy, it more than made up for in sheer joy of gameplay. Even though I no longer play it online, and play it in single-player mode with my 4-year-old son, we both find it incredibly enjoyable. The missions are difficult enough to provide suitable challenge, especially since, if you're not careful and wary, one single bullet can kill you - just like in real life. None of the ridiculous "hit point" meters and other nonsense like in other FPS-type games. However, the missions are also short and sweet - perfect for those like me who don't have the time to invest in hours-long missions of stealth like in Operation Flashpoint.
For 1992 and 1993, this game was good as far as graphics go. They were crisp and not jagged like they were for the NES Zeldas, though Link was rather small and indistinguishable. Because of the exiting game play and nostalgic value this is one of my all-time favorites.
A 10 minute patch update that can be downloaded from the game.
Kiwi - light green (1998)
Multiplayer is amazing fun too, as it can host up to 64 players in arena style bliss. Using a service like Xfire of GameSpy, you can still play this game online and enjoy what many of us enjoyed years ago. There's still an active community and it's great to be able to tear it down, old skool, in this terrific game.
Audio: superb, as always. sound effects and sountrack are standard squaresoft quality.
7281 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As I once read about this game, skip the easy "Agent" level. The real fun in this game lies in sneaking around the stealth part. Unlike other First Person Shooters (FPS) this game isn't about mowing down everyone in sight. Instead, it's a gorgeous game (alas, with the traditionally poor Rare frame-rate especially in multiplayer) where you have to think about every single move you make. Along with Majora's Mask, its the reason to get an Expansion Pak. (if you don't have one and want this game, I strongly suggest you get one either by itself or with another great game, Donkey Kong 64 which is now a steal at .... If the expansion pak is ... by itself, you do the math.) The controls are superb, and it's very easy to get the swing of things. However, it is very bloody and the deaths are realistic. Parents should let kids under sixteen rent it, then watch them play it to make sure it's ok. Other than the blood, there is some mild swearing at about the PG-13 level, it's nothing too bad. Multiplayer is fantastic, with 'Capture the Briefcase' the best scenario.
This one is for you. I can't even think about a single reason why the Playstation's/PS2 popularity is continuing when the DreamCast has a much better mascot and a great game like this.
STORY:
I would never trade this game in for that other stupid one. This game is incredible. Going up to guys from behind and killing them with classic stealth kills like the throat slit and the stab from up front. Not only that, but the enemies that you fight in the game are awesome: samurai, ninjas, bears, wolves, dogs, and all kinds of demons. This game is totally awesome, if a bit slow though. It the jumping and fighting action were more like it was in "Devil May Cry", it would have been just like playing in a Japanese anime. Oh well, it was still a good game. If you're a true ninja fan, you must have this game... you won't regret it.
6394 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a fan of Flight Simulator since Ver. 4.0. Now with these new version flying a plane it`s a reallistic sensation...! You have to try it...! You can do it...! The new planes are excellent and very real in flying characteristics, weather could be wild with you... I recommend just one more thing... buy it...!
It has all characters (as does Sega's)
Audio : Another batch of excellent tracks from Nobuo Uematsu himself.
5511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it fits great and does exactaly what is ment to do my son is really having a good time with it
By today's standards, the graphics are dated, but I still play through this game from time to time, and I thoroughly enjoy it every time.
The game becomes more enjoyable the better you are able to master your ninjitsu skills. The controls are difficult to master at first, but stick with it and you will eventually be rewarded. I used to just jump off a roof and try and hack at my enemy. Now I can do a reverse back flip off a roof behind an enemy and exact a perfect kill. Far too cool.
5651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first RPG I ever played and ~10 years later, I'm still playing it over. It's fun and the bosses are challenging although the final bosses is pretty easy to kill. The last time I played, I made it a mission to beat Ultima Weapon as I consider that to be the equivalent of beating the game and then some. I think this game has the most realistic feel out of all the FF games I've played. Sure, there are monsters, a lady that looks like a witch, magic and other unrealistic things but the world it is set in seems very possible to me and I think that's what initially drew me in. Plus, I think the opening sequence was the best out of any FF to date.
7490 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 PROS:
1453 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Making a City, it's a change for once. I like this game because it gives easy control, and it's fun to play. There are some down-sides to it too, like it takes too long to make a big city, and Sims complain tooooo much, but it's all good other then that. My favorite thing to do is save the city, then rip it down by disteasters. The good thing is you don't have to save it after you destory it. This game can be easy or hard, like if you want to make a big city, it takes time, and it's hard, but if you use codes like:I am weak, Call coison Vinnie, I love Red Tape, Power to the masses, Water in the desert, Garage in garage out, and nardz rool(actually spelling) it's eazy (...). Graphics, well it isn't that good on making small sims, but good on everything else, 9/10 Fun, a very fun game, isn't has fun as some games, but it's cool,7/10 Gameplay, well, if you like making cities, then it has long gameplay, 8.5/10 Sound, I really like the sound because it makes me think more,9.5/10 Overall, you would love this game, but it's fun isn't like some games 8.5/10 which is Great/Awesome and 4 stars for Sim City 3000!
As the game is less focused on the items, the battle modes are a bit drawn-out and boring. However, Fire Mountain and Smokey Castle are brilliant. In Fire Mountain, your goal is to take eggs to your nest and make sure they hatch. The game becomes frantic with the addition of the ability to steal your opponents' eggs. In Smokey Castle, you must take 10 bananas (2 at a time) to your respectable treasure chest. It's not as awesome as Fire Mountain, but it's fun just the same. Graphics are actually decent for 1997. It may not be as visually stunning as what Rare would achieve in half a year with Banjo-Kazooie, but the game looks nice nonetheless. Most early Rare games have lousy backgrounds, but DKR's backgrounds are impressive. The music is terribly catchy, and the voice samples are cute. The Silver Coin Challenge is still unfair.
1546 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is interesting. My sister made me pick it up and it is fun to mess around with. If you are looking for a cute little adventure platformer then this is it. The graphics are good and the control isn't too tricky. It does get difficult in parts but not overly. I am not a huge fan of platform games but this one got me with its unique humorous tones. Give it a shot on your PS2 if you haven't. It's a bargain.
What surprises many is learning that an American team made this game. Yes, not the Japanese company.
This was also a time when computer capabilities and capacity seemed to double every few months. Final Fantasy VII is the result of an inevitable synergy between technology and imagination. Players found themselves in a three-dimensional world where they could wander at will. They were playing with characters that were not only more animated and lifelike, but also had something that resembled personalities. In a very real sense, FFVII changed the gaming landscape, and RPGs reached a new level of credibility.
Graphics:4/5
The Soul continues to burn bright and those who still have their Dreamcast should own this game. It is not just one of the best games you can find on the system, but still remains as one of the greatest games ever made.
Limit breaks are the only other useful thing in this game, but unfortunately, they can only be accessed when you are in life-threatening situation, completely aboliting the well-conceived limit break bar.
6499 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great series
3577 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As of now, this game, in my opinion, is the best racing game out.
Gameplay - SMRPG is a turn base role playing game like older final fantasy games. You will feel a lot of similarity comparing this to FF series.
Sound- 6/10
Amazon, you need to pull these from your storefront!!!!
King K. Rool, the biggest, cruelest enemy in this game has stolen all of the bananas form the Kongs' banana hoard and your goal is to defeat him to get all of the bananas back and to beat the game, but first of all you have beat each level and world (just like in Mario games) before you get to King K. Rool.
I love this game.
667 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've never played the Playstation version of this game and this was my first time playing any sort of Final Fantasy game. I originally purchased it to watch the computer animation but quickly fell in love with the world, the characters, and the dozens of things to do.
- It's another game that has completely ignored Hulk Hogan's Leg Drop as being a devastating finisher, it's simply just a running leg drop that doesn't even look like the height Hogan would do it from and I don't know if I've ever seen Hogan pull off a standing drop kick before. It's just an average leg drop with little damage.
You explore all the rooms, find some clues, and arrive to an elevator. You click to go to the third floor but the door is locked, so you have to go back. You try the second floor and once again, you can't go through the door so you have to go back to the elevator. You think to yourself "okay, this is just strange". Back inside the elevator, for some unexplainable reason, a 4th floor suddenly becomes an option, so you go there. You ask yourself "was that 4th floor ALWAYS there?" This time, when you come out of the elevator the door isn't locked, and you're allowed to enter the floor. Once you enter that floor you WISH that calm, snowy daytime scenery from a few moments ago was still around because now you're in a dark haunted hospital surrounded by nurses with knives constantly slashing at you, floors that have been turned into gates and dreary walls soaked in blood all over every room in the hospital, and the music that plays here is simply amazing the way it makes you think about blood just waiting to ooze from all over the place. It scares you so much you just want to throw up, and there's no avoiding it- you can't turn back now. It's a total nightmare!
3098 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I would first like to begin with a short complaint of those that dislike this game, but don't say why. All we ever here from those that 'hate' the game is, "bad graphics, bad storyline, bad gameplay". To be quite honest, one should not be writing a review on a game if one does not state reasons why the game is in fact, so good, or so bad. If you are trying to persuade someone to not like a game, then give the facts WHY something stinks, just don't say it does. Filling games with bad reveiws just gives a bad rap for no reason, for all of you who didn't in fact like this game, fill out a review with enough detail to describe what made the game so bad.
This game is great on the Dream Cast if you have a light gun, if you don't this game is not good. The user interface for the game was designed for a light gun, so if you play with a controller it seems unnatural and you have a desaster almost as big as trying to play Virtual On without the twin sticks. ...
Replay value is high, because you can play the game with a different personality, play style, and different companions. The game may seem to have dated graphics, but the sound is still top-notch, and the game programming is robust. Load times may be hard to stomach, but it should be easier if you follow online instructions to move the entire game from CD to hard drive or virtual CD.
5307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not all strategy games are blood and gore, unsuitable for youngsters. Harvest Moon does require some strategic thinking, but is great for tykes that need something low key and non-violent to play.
to be an expert at it. I was even born an expert....
5056 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Here we go again, same old game, same old graphics, just another FPS, right? Well, you got the FPS part down, but it's so much more than that. You've got incredible bot AI, customizable down to the last detail, excellent graphics, nice sound and intriguing levels to play on. Throw the ability to play on the net into the mix and you've got Unreal Tournament. Quake 3's boring, gothic levels and gameplay can't even compare to what UT has to offer. Many modes of play ranging from good ol' Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, plus new game modes like Domination and Assault, you really can't lose. Not to worry, there are plenty of weapons to keep you glued to your seat while fragging the living daylights out of your opponent. Best of all, you don't need a top-of-the-line system to play UT and a 56k modem is sufficient (expect a little lag) to play this baby online. So, stop reading this and pick up your own copy. Trust me, you'll have a blast playing this one! LONG LIVE UNREAL TOURNAMENT!!!
Now, I'm sure you're wondering how playing a video game can quote unquote "help" you. A few years ago I picked up a copy of the original Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo at the same store but when I played through it something felt a bit off. I just wasn't enjoying myself to the point I did when I played the game when I was younger. I wasn't sure if the problem was me or if it was the game... all I knew was I was going to have to play another game in the franchise (as a point of reference) to find out. Fast forward a few years when I got around to this and well, I had a blast. After completing Donkey Kong Land III I played a few more games like Donkey Kong Country 2 on the GameBoy Advance and the original Donkey Kong Land and those only solidified the weird fact that I don't like the first SNES game for some reason. Unfortunate (and bizarre) as that is I'm glad the whole series hasn't shared its fate.
1309 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Graphics stunk, Banjo Kazooie is better.
This game is much more fun to play with a friend.
in the menu screens but in the gameplay the graphics issues are gone.
(...)it's pretty hard to stay alive, so turn the god mode on and enjoy it.
Easily, out of all of the Streets of Rage titles, #2 is the most satisfying and rewarding to play. In elementary, I played this game through probably 60 or 70 times and still find it just as entertaining. That's replay value.
6130 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Thanks to Nintendo's bright idea to make a system and double the graphics from the 32-bit Sega Saturn and Playstation systems, we get stuck with one of the worst sytems out there. True Sega Saturn had lousy 3D graphics and bad third-party support, no one can deniy the fact it had some great games on it. And I hate Playstation, but because they shaped their graphics just right the games somehow came out looking better than N64. Not only do we get a really cheesy system, they also had to turn many classic 2D games and turn them into horrible 3D games (Like Earthworm Jim 3D, Zelda, Donkey Kong 64, Kirby, Rayman 2, and so much more...)! Plus the controll drove me bonkers the way they controll it. Sometimes the controll's bother me so much I have to stop playing the game. Plus because the games are in cartriges (Lousy sound and space because of this) they cost [a lot] and the games are usally short and don't last more than a couple of hours before you're finished with the game. And this is from someone who has loved all their other systems they made. Which is why I was crying after I played this thing (I still think once was too painfull) at a friends house. Complete waste of money. I do not recomend. Let's hope the Nintendo Cube Box turns out better than this piece of trash.
Graphics-wise, it's all a let-down, i was expecting realistic models but i got cartoony characters, but then again- it's mario and friends, right?
The level design is unique with some truly large levels offering tons of exploration. Mario will find himself in sunken ships, caves with toxic gas, inside a volcano, a pyramid, in a desert, a fortress in the sky, sliding down slippery snowy slopes, and even inside a giant strange clock. This game is filled with fun challenges and hours of terrific gameplay. I don't believe I've ever met anyone that didn't find this game fun to play.
CAPTAIN AMERICA
Although I didn't play Everquest as much as the other two titles, I found the entire system to be lacking. The controls and console didn't seem to flow as much as Asheron's Call and Ultima Online. Furthermore, while the game has better graphics than the other two titles, it didn't feel "3-D." It had a still feel to it and didn't provide much 3-D stimulation.
Graphics 9/10: Some issues with fog (common for Nintendo 64 games), but otherwise absolutely beautiful. The fog itself, even, can be justified, as you spend most of your time in the air. Though many stages take either a purely generic "spacial" theme, such as the asteroid field, the planets are really intuitive. In this game you can find a volcanic environment, which even mimics the "wavy" effects of heat, an ocean environment (full of fish and plant life), a couple of cities, a train depot . . . the works! The most interesting graphics you could see, however, has to be the part of the asteroid field you can "warp" to. Though it probably looks like you've taken a medication or something else you shouldn't have, you can't deny the mysterious beauty of that point in the level. . . . Please note, however, that what levels you see depends on what paths through the game you take; like the story, it's dependent upon your actions in the levels.
2601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love this game boy so much its very classic and i got Pokemon yellow to go with it
I had a copy of this when it first came out and played it as a kid. My original copy was stolen by someone along the way and I had to buy it here on Amazon. It was totally worth the small investment to recapture this part of my past.
The first thing you are greeted with is a beautiful cinematic from yours truly, Microsoft Games. Then there's the multitude of campaigns, all of which were done excellently. The engine is a truly refined version of ye old AOEI. Formations for your men (and women) is a great new thing that adds some strategy to your game, and the new game options are just terrific.
3183 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Price was right and it works great.
9581 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 you either love or hate this game in my opinion i have met many rabid fans such as myself, and by the same token many people who despise this game with every fiber of their being. It is however my all time favorite game for the playstation. It may not have the best graphics but in terms of story, gameplay, depth, difficulty...it's all there. For more casual gamers it offers a fairly easy main story, but for those who like a challenge there is the deep dungeon not to mention plenty of opportunities to steal rare equipment that you only get one chance for. I enjoyed this game and i'm sure if you are a strategy rpg fan you will to.
-Loads of things to do
By today's standards, the graphics in this game are quite primitive, but at the time they were absolutely amazing. The 2D backgrounds are still great to look at today, as well. The music in this game is also great, despite the rather limited selection of sounds Nobou Uematsu had at his disposal. Of particular note is the song that plays during the final boss encounter, "One Winged Angel", which is still beloved by Final Fantasy fans today.
3643 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 THIS GAME WAS GREAT, AS A MATTER OF FACT, BUT IT'S NOT ALL THAT PEOPLE SAY IT IS. THERE'S SOME NEW CHARACTERS ADDED TO THE GAME AND THE CHARACTERS FROM THE FIRST 2 GAMES HAVE ALL GOTTEN OLDER. THE FIGHTS ARE GREAT, THE NEW AND INVENTIVE MODES [SUCH AS THE ONE WHERE YOU FIGHT OFF GANGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT ON DIFFERENT STAGES] ARE GOOD, AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL FUN AND EASY TO USE. TEKKEN FANS WILL LOVE THIS ONE A LOT.
What more can I say? This game is fun to play, it has great replay value, the music, sounds and the worlds all sound and look absolutely fantastic and the difficult final fight with Gruntilda at the end was indeed terrific as well. It took me thirty hours to complete (without a guide) and I had so much fun solving puzzles and this game can test your mind at certain times. I will admit I did need help online for a few jiggies, but the ending sequence makes the occasional frustrations all worthwhile, very satisfying if you ask me. I'm now very anxious to play Banjo Tooie, as it's been claimed to be even better than the original. Banjo Kazooie is highly recommended, this game is indeed a classic.
Hmmmmmm. Insidious.
Anything that moves can be clicked on and examined. The level of precision and the amount of choices that you have in this game are fantastic, and sometimes overwhelming. The game consists of twenty-some scenarios that gradually get harder. Each time that you finish one, you get a new challenge, which keeps the game from getting too easy as you become more proficient.
Eventually, you have a boss fight that, thanks to mistranslation, tells you to ATTACK WHILE it's tail is UP. If you do this, the boss will hit a party member, causing you to do the battle the opposite of how they intended. You might even game over. After that, more dialog, and you get to make a choice with Aeris: "You'd better get out of here" or "Nothing...hey, listen...". This affects a cutscene WAY, WAY down the line from here. I never made the connection until recently.
4979 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks
8852 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can still remember reading all the articles about Kirby's Dream Land 2 in Nintendo Power back in the mid-90s. I had never played the first Kirby's Dream Land because it was very hard to find where I lived, and I sure didn't want to miss out on this installment, which had 3 animal friends to help Kirby. Everything about the game looked great- it had some of the best graphics on the GameBoy, Kirby had a ton of powers, the animal friends all had their own versions of powers, and the game had a secret ending that could only be seen if you collected all the Rainbow Drops. Yeah, I couldn't wait to play this game, and I ended up getting it with some of my birthday money the year it came out. No other game had my attention until I beat Dream Land 2. This really was the best platformer that'd come out in years, and I'm happy to say that it still holds up 16 years later.
1846 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Plays great! The box had a crack in it though, I'm asuming that was just from shipping. Other than that it came with the art, manual, and even the ad page that advertises other Naughty Dog games.
Neither does a Mac owner. This product's USB connectivity, though convenient to Windows users, does not extend to the Mac. That's an unfortunate oversight that, one suspects, wouldn't be all that difficult to correct.
In VS.,you play against one computer character or 2 family members or friends. You can choose any course is the game. Up to 3 can play VS.
But luckily the Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have many friends who help them along the way. The smart-mouthed Cranky Kong is always there to provide a few laughs and tell some great stories. Funky Kong will give you a ride in his plane-like barrel that brings you to other worlds and levels that you want to play again or find the bonuses in. And Candy Kong is always there to save your game and blow you a kiss. There are also many animal friends such as Enguarde the swordfish, Rambi the rhino, and Winky the frog who help make the levels easier to beat.
The game is Donkey Kong Country but for the original game boy. The Graphics are pretty bad considering it was one of the later games in this library, and the game tends to be slow and messed up at times. The game itself isn't that bad, however it is just that the graphics ruin the game.
I think it's the best system. I think the best game for it is Zelda.
4439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A fun role playing game at which when I play I can lose myself in the world of urak
The online multiplayer is where the real fun of TIBERIAN SUN is at! There just is no way to describe winning a long 2 hour match online and not getting booted off!
Voice-Acting: Nice touch but downright terrible
9065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Donkey kong country is one of the coolest games I have ever played...I played this awhile ago...Back when SNES just came out and I happend to buy this game...Well acctually my dad got it for me as a gift...This game was off the hook.
3386 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Product was as advertised and worked perfectly.
Even though the DC is dead, I still support it in saying that it is the best console on the market, considering what it has done in the past. And if you own one, I'm sure you will too.
I'll continue to get my fix from Richard Burns Rally, and you should to. :)
5586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great!
8802 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 oh, oh Donkey Kong's been captured and now Diddy and his friend Dixie must save him before it's to late. This is a sweet game and thier is a new member in the kong family and new animal friends to help you out. This is a sweet game.
If you have a Dreamcast, and you want some rumble, do not hesitate to buy this product while you still can.
Monkeys have taken over different periods of history, and so it's your job to catch them all and bring down the leader. You get helpful gadgetry along the way, and they're all extremely useful and you'll find yourself using them all to the very end. Sometimes some games give you arsenals that become obsolete a few levels later; not here. Every level can use all your tools.
Unfortunately it crashes after a few minutes or hours so I haven't got to the end of the game ever. I've tried it on two different computers, one being way more poweful than the other one and it just won't play completely on either one. If it'd quit that, it'd be great.
8243 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I think the game play is great the music was good but the main thing that made me give this a low rating are none other than the lacking of the graphics they are absolutely horrible and it makes it really hard to see where you going sometimes.
Pros:
1228 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am shocked and *very* pleased to report that Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is a DRASTIC improvement over the original Crash Bandicoot.
5493 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thank you
Sound: 7/10
Long live the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
2900 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yes, you heard me. Final Fantasy VII...
3. This is not the best Zelda game. The Legend Of Zelda, Links Awakening, and A Link To The Past are all much better games, especially for their time.
3231 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I grew up playing Mortal Kombat. I was a fan of the series up to it's 3D debut, when it really began spiraling down-hill. Soul Calibur is the first 3D fighter that I felt is worth the buy. It has a deep storyline, as deep as fighting games get. It includes TONS of secrets that can be accessed by playing through the games on various modes. The graphics are the best you can find on ANY system. Buy the game if you even remotely like fighting games. If you don't... what is wrong with you?
3) Dialogues: If you played Sins of the Fathers, you will be more than happy that Gabriel's voice is provided by Tim Curry again. Wow! Other characters are also spoken very pleasantly, with a little French accent which perfectly fits the environment.
2) Graphics: EXCELLENT! I have never seen such excellent graphics for this type of game. Everything fits perfectly. There is blood after a soldier is killed, explosions are very dramatic, u can see the sparks as minerals are mined up by cutting SCV's. When hurt, Zerg buildings bleed, etc (don't get the idea this is gory, its really not, just little red sparks on the screen when something is injured or killed)... Everything casts a shadow, things can turn invisible, etc... It's excellent! The world's you play in our top notch as well. Shadows, mountains, trees, animals wandering around, etc.... It truly works well for this type of game. Graphics are top notch here (especially for when it was made).
The graphics in Riven look beautiful, even 15 years later. The Riven environment is gorgeous and has some really startling landscape. However, the geography in Riven is supposedly 5 times larger than Myst's, but because most of the game occurs within a single Age is actually does feel a bit smaller. Moreover, I felt like there were more "corridors", or areas that had no function other than to serve as space between two other areas. Myst by contrast was extremely compact. I'm not sure which is better, but I'd guess that in terms of puzzle content the two games were about equal. I would have preferred a bit more environment and fewer corridors.
3238 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is good, and very entertaining. I would give it five stars had there been more to it. Make sure to play with a friend to truly appreciate it.
9352 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The product came faster than I though it would and met my expectations, was excellent quality, nothing wrong with it.
-Sound comes through in 1-player or 2-player mode, but fails to when playing with 2 or 3 friends
With a game as old as this one is, it would be easy to find faults -- especially comparing those faults with current-gen gameplay mechanics and graphics. However, if one can allow themselves to enter the early PSX era, the true beauty of a game like Resident Evil can shine through. While not perfect, this game serves as the ultimate example of what survival horror is. RE set the stage for things to come, and its great to be able to go back and see the humble beginnings of some of the greatest plot elements and gameplay mechanics we enjoy in video games today.
World 6: Bower's World, with lots of lava and subterrean sections
Abilities: Mario can wall jump, long jump, and many more.
The gameplay has been bad mouthed by many people as very unreponsive and the camera pan's are truly hated, but I found no real problems as I played it. A good thing about this game is that you go up against demons and hellish creatures as...a normal human being. You are not a cop, FBI agent or some special ops soldier. You are Harry Mason, a writer caught in this mess. You make a lot of noise when you walk, you get tired when you run, you don't shoot very well and you don't know what the heck is going on in Silent Hill. This truly brings the realism to the game.
Gameplay- 10/10
4234 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own the new Warcraft III series from Blizzard, and other true 3D games like Emperor: Battle for Dune, from Westwood/EA games. I say this because some of the older RTS games like Westwood's Command and Conquer series, Dune 2000, Blizzards own Warcraft II, and other games date badly. You can see this in terms of the control problems, blocky graphics, clunky path finding, and (if you play online) nearly non-existent fan base.
If you are tired of the Resident Evil games and wish to play a story that will plunge you into a hellish nightmare, buy this game. This game is truly under-rated in that it did not get the spotlight it deserved. And study up on the story behind Silent Hill, it is very interesting and this is a game I will add to my permanent collection.
This is an amazing game. One of the best for the 64. If you have competition around you can take up hours of play time.
Another problem that needs addressing is the camera. They should have focused as much on responsive camera movements as they did with the graphics. It often shifts when you don't want it to, and it is a bugger to get a strait focus. This also brings up the issue of the controls, which are harder to master than a new language. Getting Donkey Kong to dive properly underwater is enough to send your remote flying across the room.
With its close attention to detail, and its careful use of light and sound to enhance the experience, "Thief" is one of the most effectively immersive games I have ever played. I am reminded of the first time I played "Doom" or "Quake" and I saw the first glimmerings of what the FPS genre could do. "Thief" takes that concept and extends it much further, forcibly making the player pay closer attention, and thus get involved in the world of the game much more deeply than other games have ever required. "Thief" tasks the player to examine every shadow, jump at every little sound, and take chances on the best way through tight situations. Couple this involvement with a top quality storyline, worthy in itself of a big-screen treatment, and you've got a fantastic game -- which is exactly what "Thief" is: fantastic.
Bottom line......get the game!!!
You utilize two attacks; your flame breath, and your horn charge. Throughout the levels you encounter several types of enemies, but especially Gnorcs. Your goal throughout the game is to unfreeze all the dragons, and collect stolen dragon eggs from the taunting blue thieves. Each of the six homeworlds contains a non-mandatory boss battle (aside from the Gnorc Gnexus) and a balloonist who will transport you to the next homeworld. Your health meter is represented by a little dragonfly by the name of Sparx that follows you around. Sparx starts out bright yellow, dulls to blue, then to green, and once he is gone, you're toast. Lives are gained with small dragon statues, or collecting so many of a small silver orb dropped by previously defeated enemies.
7879 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my favorite game of all time for the N64. I can play it for hours without getting bored. It is just so much fun and it brings back alot of memories of when I was younger playing it. This time I won't lend it to anyone so they can not give it back. Awesome Awesome game.
Replay Value: This is one of those fighters that you come back to in like a week or so. The 2-player versus mode well definetly bring you back as well as the single player. All in all it's a great fighting game that should be played from time to time.
1420 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Surprisingly, when Nintendo created the N64 game system, they had absolutely no idea of how succesful it would be. The first game that the system ran on was also a scream. It just sometimes comes to me as a surprise that a lot of these newer games that run on CD-ROM like the Playstation 2, and the XBOX may have faster and better graphics, but not likely with the actual loading time.
5810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent city building game with a great Egyptian theme. Good progression in difficulty so that you don't get frustrated with the game. You start out managing a small village to create mega cities with their own wonder(s). The game produces walkers that give you feed back on your city such as such and such god might be unhappy or hey my market is overflowing with luxery items. You can click on the houses to see what is holding their development up. You can do overlays showing property value, distribution of goods and other such information. You create a trading empire managing where your goods go and what goods you are importing in for your citizens.
Everything is very cryptic
Now audio....I kid you not, after beating this game I downloaded almost every song from the game(Cosmo Canyon is by far one of my favorite songs ever played on a video game!!!). The music is just beautiful, the song played in cosmo canyon is let alone a reason to get the game sountrack as well as the final battle with Sepheroth. The best part about the audio is they fit perfectly well for every scenario/area/battle. I do plan on buying this games soundtrack when I have the time..
Although Sonic 2 remains my favorite, this is without a doubt a close second. I know the graphics may seem somewhat dated today, but for 1991, this was pretty damn good. Bright, vibrant colors, and great atmosphere (love the city skyline in Star Light Zone). It goes from a bright, sunny atmosphere (Sun Light Zone) to a big industrial factory (Scrap Brain). Along the way, there are various icons that Sonic can smash open, and each one has a special power that Sonic can use to his benefit; 10 rings, super speed, temporary invincibility, a shield, and the holy grail of them all: the 1-up. The game also has catchy music. Okay, it's 2004 now, and we can hear actual bands in our games, but back then, we had video game music, and it was good and easy to tune out if need be. Also, in this game, you must collect 7 chaos emeralds in these weird, spinning worlds, and defeat robot enemies by jumping on them.
Game On.
5 stars.
This game is truly epic. The music is awesome. It's no par with FF7's music. It truly is some of the best. The battles are great. There are normal ones which are fun. You get to use 6 characters. Your party is up to you. Over the game you get 108 different characters, of which 2/3rds are playable in battle. There are also duels. Duels are fun. Wars are awesome in this game. There is alot going on. The graphics are well done. For a 2d game. There are tons of different good looking sprites. The story is also magnificent. My favorite story ever. You come to love the characters. The game also ends perfectly. It is a tear-jerker. Right after the final battle I may have teared a little. The game is fun though. If you see it buy it. The game is well worth it because it is my favorite game of all time. It beat out MGS on my list, so it's good.
The visual look and feel of this game is astonishing. A 2D game has never looked this good. Even so many years later the graphics look really good. Some are a tad bit fuzzy but you'll quickly get over that.
Later...
3462 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fast shipper A++++++
2232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 and it makes the Turok 2 and 3 look better. If you have an N64 and want to experience some of the best it has to offer than this expansion pack is essential.
[Spoiler Finished]
Weapon selection is also a bit flimsy because you have to hold down select and use L2 and R2 (strafe buttons) to select the weapon. I would have preferred a radial menu instead. Some levels can be a bit hard to navigate are too dark to see. Thankfully you get a flashlight you can equip because some levels are nearly pitch black. I found myself lost a few times because even though the level design is fantastic, some levels can look the same with confusing hallways and misplaced crates and boxes.
If Rareware hadn't made the characters so sugary, this could've easily topped Mario Kart 64 in recognition among the older crowd. Definitely worth a purchase used, and good luck to all those up for the challenge.
7720 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my FAVORITE Zelda game of all time! I had it growing up, from ages 10 to about 18, which then I sold my SNES and games... I hated that stupid mistake! Now I am starting to build up a small collection of retro games, and this one is the icing on the top!
9574 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Definitely one of the better strategy RPG's I've played, but still difficult. Not as difficult as the Disgaea strategy RPG series (THANKFULLY), but still pretty hard. The plot and the "Job" system are very deep though and will definitely keep a lot of players busy. Highly recommended.
GAMEPLAY:The bird-view camera is an interesting idea. In some respects it works so well. In others though it is tough. The way you walk is strange but cool as well. To walk forwards press X. To walk backwards press Square. Same with vehicles. While on foot press O to burp or fart. While in a car press O to honk the horn. You can hijack cars and buy upgrades for your cars. Finding weapons and killing civilians is an awesome addition to any game.
Here's to retroactively living the gaming childhood I missed :]
Now on to Myst. My first experience with Myst was Riven. After playing that game I felt the need to get the first one. Sure enough!!! It was available for the Playstation. I got it and became immersed. I actually beat the game, but I have to admit, I did use a guide at one time. I'm not very proud of that!!!!
- Final Fantasy VIII
4406 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Red baron 3-d is one of the best WWI flight simulator. Its beath taking graphics and great gameplay, mix into one. Good luck on your travels.
5571 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game is pretty fun. The graphics are decent, the sound is also above average. This game is at its best when 4 human players play in a 4 player multiplayer game. Games are always high scoring when playing with your friends. This game is a great game if you always have people who will play with you. But when playing alone this game sucks. Sure smacking the computer is fun a while, but theres no one to smack talk. The novelty of hard hits wears off fast. Also the no pass inerference rule gets cheap. On easy mode, the computer gets whooped every time beacause they never pass interference, but on hard, the computer will use it on every play, making it frustrating, because it will be so freaking hard to cathc a pass. For the person with no friends this game may not be right for you. First of all this game has no season mode for 1 player. its just arcade mode. Secondly, there are no things to keep you busy like creat-a-player ( i believe there is create a play, but i would rather have more fun creating players ). so get this game if you have lots of friends or if there are always people to play with you. if you don't have friends or you are a only child, stick with NFL2k for all you solo gamers.
Sound A-
Another true classic
Here's a list of-- in this fan's humble opinion-- the game's seven more memorable locations. #1 should come as a surprise to absolutely nobody.
But Gabriel Knight 2...wow, what a game. I played it twice, something I never do with adventure games. But this one was SO well written and conceived, and it was recognized by many folks as a Game of the Year. It truly does immerse you in the story, and some of the final movie sequences are superbly done. Great locations, great plot, definitely a game you HAVE to play if you haven't already.
Wipeout XL takes what everyone loved about the original and upped it a notch. The graphics are higher Resolution, the music is more upbeat, the weapons are more lethal. But perhaps the greatest reason to play it is that it's REALY FAST. There is simply no experience on earth like playing Wipeout XL on Phantom Class (the fastest class) with the hidden class of ship (unforetunately it loses weapons in exchange for maxed-out stats).
Savian wasn't too good but Kevin was a little and it was fun with him. But my favorite cousin, Nick hasn't played in a long time. He was fantastic, just like me. The only thing we need practice at is reflecting items back.
OVERALL
Plus, it's got lots of features without being over-engineered. I especially like the fact that it comes with both throttle and rudder control within easy reach. The button cluster on the stick itself is very sensibly designed, with all major buttons a comfortable distance apart. The hat is cleverly devised as well, being both solid and flexible. Most importantly, perhaps, the software, now at least two years old, is very stable, and allows you complete control over each button.

5624 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Berry was my first Gameboy Color console and I love it greatly! I have gotten my friends addicted to Gameboy Color (and Pokmon, heh) and HIGHLY recommend a Gameboy Color to any game fanatic. I'm so hooked, I have a carrying case for my Berry and Teal Gameboy Color and have those plastic cartridge cases for my games. Get this and you'll have access to a lot of great games!
4989 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When this game came out in '99 I was 15 years old. Let's just say it scared the crap out of me. Almost to the point where I didn't want to finish it. You play as Harry Mason as he searches for his missing daughter in Silent Hill. Sound simple enough? Well, Silent Hill is a town like no other. It's a town that's covered in fog and completely deserted. Just to set the tone for you; one of the first things you come across is a wheelchair in an alleyway with its wheels still rotating. Add that to the bloody gurney with an apparent body underneath and you're in for a ride. Don't go in expecting the best graphics as the game has aged terribly (it's been 15 years). One of the best things about the Silent Hill franchise is the high replay value that they offer. It's not a game where you beat it once and then put it on the shelf. There are multiple endings to be seen so you'll be playing this for a while. The music is superbly done and goes hand in hand with the atmosphere. Top notch game.
Gameplay: Each course is an enclosed world in which the player is free to wander in all directions and discover the environment without time limits. The worlds are filled with enemies that attack Mario as well as friendly creatures that provide assistance, offer information, or ask a favor (such as pink "peace-loving" Bob-omb Buddies). The player gathers stars in each course; some stars only appear after completing certain tasks, often hinted at by the name of the course. These challenges include defeating a boss, solving puzzles, racing an opponent, and gathering coins. As more stars are collected, more areas of the castle hub world become accessible. The player unlocks doors in the castle with keys obtained by defeating Bowser in special courses. There are many hidden mini-courses and other secrets to the game, most containing extra stars needed to complete the game entirely. Some courses contain cannons that Mario can access by speaking to a pink Bob-omb Buddy. After entering a cannon, Mario can be shot out to reach distant places. When the player has the Wing Cap equipped, cannons can be used to reach high altitudes or fly across most levels quickly.
Likewise, the plot in each was experimental. They fiddled around with the crystal concept in FF1, FF3J, FF4, FFV. They had ruthless kings, dark overlords, and the occasional malicious squid. But the most intense game I have played so far was Final Fantasy 7. Why? Well, when halfway through the game your character doesn't even know who he is anymore, it is pretty interesting. Not to mention you have combos to build, chocobos to raise and race (never was good at this), and some pretty weird items to collect (I mean honestly, what other game has you give some girl digestant in exchange for perfume and a dress for your male character to wear).
After using the wheel on this game for 2 weeks, i have to say that GT2 is THE best racing game out there for ANY system. And i should know, I have played it on the original playstation, the dreamcast and now PS2.
6810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I gave this game 5 stars. Why? I'm partial to the guy in the spider suit! I find meaningless dribble that just take up time, such as side scrolling bash'n'beat games (The Punisher, Streets of Rage, ect) fun at times. This game teams you up with Spiderman and Venom. Both characters have the same talents, but it's fun to play a bad guy for once! It's a good waste of time. Really.
4696 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game when it came out, and it astounded me. The flowers, the butterflies, the music, the story, the gameplay, were all astonishing. Baldur's Gate is still one of the greatest games of all time. It works just fine on computers that aren't brand new, and an internet fan base is constantly updating it. I wouldn't recommend this game for anyone under 12 or so; there's some real darkness here. There's also humor and, of course, magic. Like many RPGs (and unlike, say, Doom or Grand Theft Auto), it will appeal to women and girls. Save the world, make friends, find yourself, collect neat stuff, and kick some [tail] --what's not to love?
I am not saying that this is a bad game but if you have become hooked to say Fusion or Zero than this game is a step down for you (and if you only played Prime well avoid all together). However if you are a die hard collector or are interested in the full story than this game is a must have in the legacy. Just be warned it's short and sweet but with a hard edge (difficulty).
I really enjoyed John DeLancie's performance as the villain. I also enjoyed the depth of interaction between the main characters, and I am very impressed with the amount of research into esoterica that Jane Jensen put into this and the other games in the series. If you are at all of a mystic bent, or have any interest in what might be termed the occult, you will like this game.
really frustrating at times
9225 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is a Mortal Kombat clone, with huge amounts of blood, and two fatalities for each competitor. The only difference with this game is that all of the fighters are pre-historic! Two apes, a big dinosaur, a fire breathing legendary dinosaur, a raptor and much more. The gameplay is much like Street Fighter 2, and the gameplay is very slow, because you are fighting as dinosaurs! Another interesting feature is that for those who like to use the same move over and over again, the game laughs at you. Pretty cheap game, rent it before you buy it.
The flight model of the dragon is very realistic. I wonder if game makers have a real dragon hidden somewhere because they really get it right! Truth is all the flying creatures in the game will make you take a few unnecessary shots as you attempt to sightsee! Less interesting is walking thru narrow caverns on top of the dragon. It's more fun to lead the striking female player character - named Rynn - around. Judging by the looks of it she is definately into aerobics (check those buns gentlemen)! I was amazed at her detail. The fact is that everything looks superb! Show this to your console-loving friends! It's something of a graphics showpiece. My PC is nothing special (AMD 350, RAGE128, 64 megs) and Drakan ran beautifully most of the time. The movement can be jerky because of some faulty movement mechanics. Nothing major, just a little irritating when jumping on slopes.
Super Metroid arguably has the better methodology for presenting a story during the game--after the intro and story segments right up to the very end, it's all rendered using the ingame engine, as we're prone to say today. The art of giving the same old ingame sprites a character all their own, and making us empathize with something so small is certainly an achievement, and it's rarely been done elsewhere. Fusion, as you might expect with GBA cartridge sizes rapidly approaching the size of a good size Neo Geo cart in terms of storage space, often adds cutscenes--some frames good, some in need of more colors. Overall, though, that approach seems overly preachy, with the nagging computer stealing far too much of your precious battery power. We understand, Nintendo--it's a common sin these days.
9688 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You got the game. You got the camera, you got the film. Now, to complete this game you have to snap at least 63 pokemon for your report. Professor Oak must see it first before putting it in your report. If you do not like Oak's results, you can keep your pictures in your photo album! Away from Professor Oak.
5398 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like this video game . Its funny and fun to play this video game some time. You get to break down buildings , house, cars , helicopter, airplane , and eats people lol it is a fun game to play !
6406 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You know you're in trouble when the first scenario after the tutorial pits you against three foes. If you've played a RTS before it's not that bad but if you're new to the genre it's the deep end of the pool. True, I'm more of a explore and build player but I was still disappointed with the difficulty of the campaigns. If a game wants to be difficult I'd prefer it be with good AI, not swamping you with an early rush or overwhelming numbers. There is a simple formula to win most scenarios: survive the early rush, create a defense and assault the computer opponents one at a time, and you'll win.
the main characters are Nancy (Trick), Slash (Balance), Jam (Balance), Linda (Speed), Wendy (Trick) and Tommy (Speed). Damian (Balance, I think), Mr. Dog (Speed) and the blue bird, Coach (Trick) are the hidden characters.
*Very smooth fluid-like gameplay and excellent use of color
These games are of course perfectly emulated and a joy to play alone or with family.
1302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Obviously I love this game. No problems here :)
All of this was corrected by RE4 but that's about it for my complaints.
"Fallout 2" is a much larger game than the original, and to make traversing the vast distances easier, after several quests you actually get - wait for it - a car! Many differently skilled NPCs are eager to join you; how many you can have in your party depends on your charisma. Where you had little control over NPCs in your party in "Fallout", in "Fallout 2" you can get them to wear improved armour, select better weapons, and they sometimes actually increase their skills when your character levels. I developed a tight little bunch, consisting of the loyal Sulik (give him a SuperSledge and watch him go!) and Vic (whose Repair skill is essential until yours is developed, if you can tolerate his sucking up and constant whining about Sulik), Cassidy (much better with weapons than your character when you find him) and after I solved all his town's problems, Marcus the Mutant, entertainingly voiced by Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek). Hint: if you do have Marcus join, take his minigun away before he shreds your entire party and give him a more focussed weapon, but he is very picky.
I love anything to do with the mind, especially when the mind goes haywire! So I love them more when they have to do with Mental Asylems, now refered to these days as Sanitariums(hint hint). Everything in this game, every little detail, has to do with the main characters struggle with memory loss, confusion, loss of indentity and questions about how reliable his sanity really may be.
A great feature is the amount of space warfare you get to do. I love that! As I was going through the game I started to feel a bit as though the missions were a little too easy, as I was using the same strategy for aboutt hree of them with success, but I realised that I has spoken too soon! I am right on the last part of the game now and I am finding it impossible to beat. I can't believe that after only just managing to beat one wave of ships, another one appears immediately with the same fire power.
For parents considering this game for their children, they should be aware of the violence. Much of the game is spent killing people, and the realism is striking. It is up to you, but this is an excellent game that can be quite addictive.
And did I mention the cinematics? The dance scene in particular stands out in my mind as completely amazing. I would restart there on purpose to see the detail they put into the movements. If you love good animation, you could buy the game just to go from scene to scene.
In short, get this game. It's a super fun one player game.
The game, although pretty average today, set the tone for future launch titles. I definitely suggest it if you are a PS historian or enthusiast.
2.) Sega has a huge userbase of Dreamcast users. As a profit-seeking company, there is no reason they would not try to capitalize on either licensing the Dreamcast.. or PARTNERING... there are rumors rumors rumors (substantiated) that the new Microsoft XBOX coming out this fall will infact have a Dreamcast chipset allowing the play of Dreamcast games. This means that the production of Dreamcast software will not go kaput, becuase developers will still have a platform to develop for.
4368 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of Empires, in my view, is a perfect strategy game. What else can you expect from the creators of DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98 and 2000 (That would be Microsoft of course :))
Overall, this could have been the best Star Trek game I've ever played. You get to be the good guys and the bad guys. Building ships, starbases, taking over ships, and unique weapons made it exciting. The bugs were the only problem. The game needs a patch to make it stop crashing or else people would have to play the game saving it every 5 minutes.
8919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game adds to the collection of any Metroid fan. Its fun to play just like any other Metroid! Even if you're not a fan you should give this game a try to immerse yourself into the Metroid universe! Which is awsome! I highly recommend this product!
8887 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's Metroid. 2. On the gameboy. It's awesome of course.
Explore tombs as a teenage Lara Croft.
1190 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All went well.
The gameplay is really exciting too- it centers around tossing apples to stun enemies and smack them with your sword in fast-moving action/adventure style. The later levels provide dangerous chase segments while riding the carpet and cave running that really shows off the Genesis's power for adrenaline pumping speed. Everything about this game is spectacular really. I can see why when people bring up the best looking Genesis games, Aladdin springs to mind immediately. It deserves the acclaim it's gotten over the years. Best platformer on the Genesis as far as I'm concerned.
Playability- Easy to pick up,and as soon as you do you'll be a pro
1347 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a top classic Mario game. I would highly recommend getting it if you love the Mario series! Very good game!
6689 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I wasn't playing Mario Bros 1985 I was playing this game on the original game boy. In some ways the difficulty of this game rivaled the NES version. I was 4 years old when Super Mario Land was introduced to me and I still pick it up every now and then on my slowly aging Gameboy Color. It was a definite must have for those long car trips (i.e. 8+ hours traveling across Montana and North Dakota in one day). Lives are fairly easy to come by with a couple per level and then at the bonus rounds at the end of the first 2 levels of each world. You can get up to 3 extra lives per bonus round. It is a short game with only 4 worlds but the length of each level helps to make up for the shortness. It has the basic power-ups: mushroom, star, fire flower (super ball instead of fireball in this version). The time limit is long enough for you to explore each level for any potential secrets but not too long that it won't challenge you to hurry to the end.
1427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So what is Mario's quest this time? Save the Princess "Peach" by defeating the evil Bowser, while collecting 70 stars in only 15 levels (all 15 levels are contained in 1 huge castle). It might not be the best Mario game, but it offers a new 3D world and a whole new realism. It also has new features such as an energy feature, where rather than collecting power-ups like the fire flower, you now collect a gold coin and you get a block of energy back! Now Mario has far more of an offense rather than just stomping enemies, he can now throw punches, kicks and slide into enemies, making full use of the 3D plane. The enemies come to life in 3D, such as huge chain chomps, menacing goombas and annoying koopas The graphics could have been better, because they make enemies out of simple colors rather than textures like more recent games have. The music and sound effects are nice, because Mario now has a voice to be heard. There are however only minimal power-ups, such as Mario's Winged hat, which allows him to fly, and Mario's steel cap, making him invincible.
4810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Someone gave me this game as a gift and I must say, it is one of few gifts I actually kept and got enjoyment from. I have been playing this game for a long time now and can play it at anytime because there is always something new to learn and new ways to get rich and rule the RR business. This game is detailed, graphically pleasing, and requires some gamer skill. I am sure you can handle it if you are reading this review.
This game proves to be the best one in the entire series and one of my favorite games overall, period. I would highly recommend getting this game off the PlayStation Store for $6, this is a MUST PLAY. It really is one of the best.
Excellence.

I love how the game lets you customize certain things. Your government isn't limited to despotism, monarchy, democracy, etc... You get to choose how your government works on many different levels, such as values, economics, etc... Also, you get to design your own units. Want a swarm of fighters to intercept enemy aircraft without a huge support cost? You got it. Want a few units equipped with nerve gas that you can paradrop into your enemies terrirory just in case things get desperate? You got that too. There are so many combinations you can create, it gives the game more depth than most.
Recover from that bout of frustration, continue the game and realise that when you're not frustrated you're having incredible fun. Read this review. Go to the store. Buy the game. Do it now.

8903 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are not many games that I can say are perfect, but this is one of them. This game is mainly an exploration game that has alot of 2d platforming. There are many things in this game that will make you want to play it more than once, for example finding things you weren't supposed to with wall jump or finding all upgrades or minimal run. Super Metroid will have you addicted as soon as you start the game. The main goal in the game is to find the baby Metroid that you captured earlier in the series. This game is not too long with some assistance it took me 6 and a half hours. The graphics may not be stunning like todays games but it is still good on a small enough screen. Super Metroid is a Must have.
There is no game I can reccomend more highly, do yourself a favor and play this game as soon as possible. 10/10
Other times, zombies will trick you into thinking they're dead, only to grab around your ankle when you try walking past them. You really have to make sure you finished them off before heading towards the next part of the police station. Otherwise, they will be back when you return. Or at the very least, make sure you walk around them *completely* when they're laying on the ground, and don't come near them. I won't spoil anything, but using a magnum bullet on a zombie will give you the ultimate satisfaction. I guarantee it!
2412 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am no fan of star wars, however, this is a really great game that has gotten a bad rap, because it came with N64 systems. First off the graphics cannot be beaten, everything is extremely detailed from the textures to the fact that every part of the pod racers moves and shutters. This game offers more than one dozen pod racers and drivers, each is unique with unique speeds, skills, traction breaks and so on, each pod racer must be earned though by coming in first for the race where the pod racer is featured. Along the way you pick up "cash" from bets that you come in first, second or third, then you use this cash to buy better parts to your pod racer and pit droids to quickly repair your racer. This is a highly imaginative game complete with three major circuits and a special circuit, in terms of the courses themselves I am a fan of racing games and nothing has ever gotten this amazing, jumps that will take your breath away, ice caverns that try to trick you, anti gravity tubes that will let you fly, swamps that will boggle your mind and speeds to boggle your mind too. The difficulty in the races range from circular to near impossible, with eruptions of fire and snipers shooting at you from high above. For Amazon's price, you need to get this game!
Control: 8/10. Very, very realistic and solid, but It's frustrating for that reason. it is really realistic so you really have to land FLAT to get land, which can be frustrating for little kids. There is also damage; so if you get beat up a lot you will not win the race.
7303 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you liked Goldeneye 007 then you'll love this one, it's better in every way. Great single player game, but best when played with one or more friends. More weapons, more levels, more characters to select from, the list of improvements is too long to list. The only down side is that things do start to slow down if you have a lot of computer opponents and a couple friends all playing at the same time.
5541 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 the only reson i got this controller becuse it was the only ones they got and I don't want to wait to go out of town to get a fist party I don't like how it feels pushing both triggers down and hard to remove the vmu other than that it fine but I worried it will brake in like 2 to 3 years time. LIke my firends the had mad catz controler for play station they said it us mess up after a few weeks with the lights .But hoppfuly this will last mush long senic the it has progarm abliy they had to use better parts the psx mad catz controller do not summerised in one intergated chup like the fist parties do .If can get a fist party controller get it they last for very time .
Graphics was never the series' strong point, even though the graphics for Wild ARMS 2 were very well done (outside of the battle system mind you!), and Wild ARMS 3 cell-shading was nice (but kinda dull overall).
If there is one redeeming factor, it is the music. Though not great, the musical scores in this game are a nice touch. The only reason you should buy this disc is to pop it into a CD-playing radio or computer and skip track one since that's just a data track ... meaning all you will hear, if anything, is an annoying buzz. Start on Track 2, sit back, and enjoy the only good thing about this game.
Fun? 5* = because of all of the fun.
3505 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast is sort of the James Dean of consoles. It had a very exciting launch coupled with great games. It ushered in many advances in the Console scene some that are just coming to light. Many great games where released in it's short life span. Games like Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, Powerstone 1&2,Phantasy Star Online, Resident Evil Code Veronica, NFL 2k series and a few others. When it launched things where looking good for the Dreamcast and Sega. Gamers where amazed by the graphics and sound, finally we had realistic Sports games. Systems where selling at a brisk place. Sega managed to turnaround some of the naysayers. The Dreamcast had a tough battle even before it launched. Sega's reputation for abandoning their hardware to early took their tolls. Developers and the gaming public where skeptical from the start. Still some 3rd party devolopers took the chance and consumers did as well. After the first year the Sony PS2 loomed on the horizon. Sony overly hyped the PS2 graphics capabilities and promised a gaming experience like no others. Rumors where spread by Sony's marketing department that Sega would abandon its hardware. It encouraged consumers not to buy the Dreamcast but instead wait for the PS2. It was a David and Goliath marketing battle. Add to this the PS2 came with a DVD player(low end no name brand DVD players where around $300). Initially launch PS2 games looked worse than DC games however Sega never really used this to their advantage. Add to this a workaround was found to easily pirate Dreamcast games with no mod chips. The little profit Sega was making from software sales diminished because of this. Disputes and indifference's with Sega America and Sega Japan also contributed to problems. Sega was bleeding money, SOA wanted to continue the fight but SOJ(Sega of Japan) president pulled the plug after a short 18 month period. The innovations Sega tried to usher in the gaming public was just not ready for it at the time. Also the Dreamcast was caught in between generations early on developers didn't utilize the systems full potential. Most games where ports of PS1 and N64 games or games that didn't look much better than PS1 games. Sega relied on Shenmue to rescue the system like Sonic once did for the Genesis. Inevitably Shenmue had a determinable effect Sega pulled its last remaining resources on this game. The initial game cost $47 Million to develop. The game was a game that you either loved or hate. It didn't sell well and in fact put Sega even deeper in the hole. They where many hit games on the DC but they never had that 1 game that made people go out and buy the DC. Meaning there was no game that developed enough of a buzz the DC had its share of great games. Soul Caliber helped with the initial launch to sell systems. At one point Max Payne was been developed and Halo as well. One can imagine if these games where released it might of helped. Although the developers of Halo deny a Halo build existed for the DC. Hal-Life was supposed to be that killer game unfortunately it was canceled as by then the DC was essentially on it's way out. Although you can find it as it was leaked and the game was essentially 90% completed. I myself think Sega gave up to quick and would of like to see them hang on for another year. But 3rd party support was pulling from the DC scene by the droves. Today like James Dean the Dreamcast is still loved by many loyal fans in fact games are still been released by Indie developers. Most of them don't do it for profit but simply for love and admiration for the Dreamcast. It still is thinking.
Riven (at the time it was released) was the only game where I played the entire night, keeping a scratch pad next to my mouse so I could notate things I'd find (designs, shapes, items, even sounds as the guy at Ebgames said he recommended to). While still difficult in terms of puzzles and solving them, I found it easier to progress the story and move into the different time periods.
5226 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really well crafted. Like a movie, but longer, more fun and exciting. Games like this will change entertainment. You must play this through at least once.
446 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
5666 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love Game Boy Color just as much as anyone else who owns it. It's easy to carry around, has great, high quality games, a sharper screen, and good use of color. I also own a Neo Geo Pocket, and even though it is a better system, it needs two different kinds of batteries, and all the games get old really fast. This system only needs two AA batteries, and they last a good amount of time. The only bad thing about this system is this particular color. I like the color red, and I jumped at the opportunity to get this Berry Red system. But when I brought it places, I kept getting made fun of, because the system actually turned out to be a perfect shade of pink instead. I would definetly buy this system, just not in this color.
Music 9.5+/10 The music is very good.
2267 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i just bought an n64, but i've played one before with and without the expansion pak. though the pak does help with the graphics the n64 still can't touch the dreamcast or ps2 with regards to graphics. still the pak does let you play perfect dark so it is a must have.
"Break the Targets" and "Board the Platforms" can be pretty tough with characters like Nes
1912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a true masterpiece buy it it is a classic for a reason it is that good
Basically, I said all that to say you should research your Mario history more. When Nintendo began development on SMB3 (late 1986/early 1987) the Super NES was nowhere on the horizon, at least not publically. Even in late 1988 when the game was published, we were still over two years away from the Super Famicom which came out in Japan in November of 1990.
The sound design is also something to take note of, as voice samples come through clear, and a lot of the songs from the movie made a smooth transition to 16-bit, Genesis FM Synth form. Simply put, Toy Story sounds just about as good as it looks and plays.
I love this game!
9993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!
'Til this day, I still kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance to. The only thing I was able to do was to download this great game to my Wii from the Virtual Console service. All Nintendo fans, especially Metroid fans should check it out. The SNES had a great, great library of games and this one ranks up near the top.
Over all delta force2 is a fantastic realistic shooter with unique characteristics. It's a great compliment to some of the other great games out there. I own rainbow 6 and rouge spear and this makes a nice alternative. Certainly the price is right.

If you wanna make it good like I said in the begining get some beer and other things, possibly get drunk, and then maybe you might find it entertaining. Other than that avoid this one, but check out the sequel.
This game is worth adding to your genesis collection and so far one of the best Marvel Comics licensed games for a 16-bit system. Just becareful and take this game seriously cause its hhhhaaaaaarrrrrrrrrdddddddddd, but fun!!!

5845 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was really excited when I picked this game up at a local anime/video game retailer. I had been waiting to try this game out, since I heard it was great in almost every category RPG's try to fulfill. After a couple of days of gameplay, I was both blown away and a little disappointed.
Don't Buy if,
One downside I must point out is that the level where you have to protect John Konner is too difficult. There are several robots and planes attacking the pickup truck. However, there is a way I know to beat this level: Only bomb the planes. Don't concentrate on the robots. And bomb them RIGHT AWAY! Having another player help out would be nice, I guess.
So let's see. The framerate is identical to Medal of Honor, in addition to the controls. How about the graphics? Quake II has pretty good, colorful graphics (which is surprising because most Playstation games are dark, not to mention the PC version mostly features dark and ugly hallways and rooms). The animations from enemies dying isn't exactly the best you've ever seen, but please keep in mind that Quake II is supposed to be a nonstop shooting blood-bath of a game, and of course, compared to the PC version of the same game of COURSE everything on the PC version will look and play a little better. You're supposed to be amazed that the Playstation can even HANDLE such an excellent game so well with only minor problems. Extremely minor problems, at that.

I hate some stealth missions
1065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart 64 is an excellent game! I love the graphics, the creators at Nintendo 64 made them very specific. My favorite modes to play in are either Mario GP, because I love racing against the computer, or Battle, because you have to be alert and careful not to run into in obstacles like bananas or shells! I really like the "ghost" so you can see whether or not you beat your previous time with that course. My favorite course is Yoshi Valley because in many areas, there are no walls to keep you from falling, so it's a challenge, and I like the big squasher egg! The one thing that drives me crazy is the fact that the computer can manage to get in front of me while racing without me noticing or even knowing how they did it! Other than that, this is a great game with excellent graphics and fun for the whole family!! I hope you enjoyed my review!!
4635 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I say that hasn't been said already? Other that some minor bugs that you can patch in a matter of minutes, the game is awe inspiring. Improvment upon the first game includes many more hours of gameplay plus a way to judge just how evil (if this is your perfered path) your character really is. Streamlined menus for NPC interaction in combat a major plus and the addition of new perks is very nice.
revolver
As for games, you have tons to choose from, and no one is left out. Jet Grind Radio, Shemue, Crazy Taxi, Quake III, and I can go on and on. Most games are in the (...) range, so you can get a nice selection of games for what you would pay for one XBOX or Ps2. The controller, while it is big, is easy to use.

CONS
4794 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was blown away by how fun and addictive this game was. All nine members of Wu Tang with their own individual style (taken from shaolin martial arts) and own individual moves, makes this game even more appealing. Fight your way through 1 on 1 combat all the way to 1 on 4. The missions you must complete are challenging and fun and you actually have to master each character and his moves in order to complete them. Huge number of unlockable characters, and pictures make the replay value sky rocket. I'm a lifetime fan of old school martial arts films, and this is the only game I've seen or played that brings that feel and attitude. You gotta atleast play it once, and you'll soon be addicted. One game that must have a sequel or a new addition.
The GRAPHICS are what to be expected for this game. I personally saw no problem with the graphics. Many people complain about the camera angles, but to me the camera angles added more spook to the game. The Hunters still looked scary as heck with the limited graphics. Many of the cutscenes are shown within the game engine, but the opening and ending actually have real actors. Yes the dialouge is cheezy, but what do you expect?
3701 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game but really hard and takes a long time to develop your skills, etc. Very innovative for its time though... creating you own armor, weapons, and even food. Also many characters to choose from given your decisions. It's a bit old now so given everything not many people would play it through. I believe I got to the last boss once but got demolished so gave up and deleted my file. That was some years ago. I have the PS2 version too. Think I had the same issue but actually did better. For some reason the last bosses in these games just pulverize you. Give Rotney anotha chance! LOL... Jackie the Joke Man from Howard Stern reference

Story:8.5/10(It's very rare for a game to earn a good rating in this area)
5 out of 5!!!!(if I could I would give it 100000 out of 5)
9085 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 That isn't hyperbole; Quackshot is one of the best, and most underrated, games ever made. Sega's "Better than Duck Tales" Disney sidescroller just doesn't get the attention it deserves. But make no bones about it - out of all the classic Disney games, like Castle of Illusion for Master System, Magical Quest for SNES or Ducktales for NES, Quackshot thrashes them all. Why is it so good? Well besides production values - the sprite art and music is really well done and quite charming - the design of the game is really, really strong. This is the closest thing to a "Metroid-vania" style Disney sidescroller anyone developed in the 16 bit days. Donald will find a bunch of gadgets as you go through the levels, from a plunger gun (whose plungers has the great game mechanic of sticking to walls, which creates platforms for you to jump on), to a bubble gun, a popcorn gun and some other stuff. All of them react differently to different environmental hazards and enemies. Some enemies are only hurt by the bubble gun. Some blocks only disappear if you shoot them with popcorn. Which means you'll end up returning to levels once you acquire new goods, blasting past a barrier that stopped your progress before, and finding all new sections to play through and explore. Just like in Super Metroid or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Although the world here isn't connected like in those games. This game has individual levels connected by a world map. I guess it's more like Demon's Crest then - which is another fantastic, underrated game! When I was six, that was radical, mind-blowing stuff. Now that I've replayed it 15-20 years later, it's still really cool... it's just easier for me to wrap my brain around it now ;) The bosses are really fun and inventive as well; icing on the cake.
985 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No doubt, the best Nentendo game ever created up till this day. This game is better than all the Nentendo games for all it's systems. It has the best multi player game ever for any system, and a A- single player game. The only thing about the multiplayer game is that it could use a bit more weapons. And the single player game is up there with Metal Gear Solid (the original). It's game has lots of levels, and is very challenging, but in a good way. It's cheat options are really hard to get, but once you do, it makes the game even more awsome. So overall, you only need one word to describe this game: spectacular.
A lot of the game takes place in Sigil (aka: The City of Doors, and the Cage) a circular city on the top of an infinetly tall spire at the direct center of the multiverse. Sigil contains portals to everywhere in the multiverse...so its a pretty imortant place. It is run by a mysterious woman known as the Lady of Pain. She is very tall, floats above the ground, and is enshrouded by blades. You do not want to meat her. If you make her mad or even worship her, she'll either maze or kill you.

THE GOOD
977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Turok 2 when I was younger as a kid was amazing, no parents told me I was not aloud to play it because they never actually played it themselves to know. The graphical content and gore was stunning to my 5 year old eyes. The first level took me forever to beat and I only beat it once. Plus I didn't have a controller pak. Then came the day I bought it again for my n64, nothing looks more sexy than Turok 2 in a green nintendo 64. The first time I ever beat it and it took as long as it did to beat a metroid game and there are only 6 levels. Weapons in old games to begin with were always amazing. I was always able to hold as many as they would let me. Such as doom, Turok, South park, Armorines, perfect dark, etc. Then new games came along and ruined everything that is great about Fps. Sure they have better graphics and frame rate. But they are all the same to be honest. Emulators sucks ass I don't care if its rgb or not. But just old games from dos to the beginning game cube fps's are all I got. But something about the way a n64 looks and the way the graphics look on it just make me love it so much. To me it's the best looking system and has the best looking games. Turok tops it all! Way ahead of its time it set the standard of what the n64 was capable of. Turok 2 is on pc and n64. The n64 game had stencil bits and made the game take a hit in frame rate. Stencil bit shadows were a new thing in 98 so iguana tried it out. In my honest opinion I wouldn't have even cared if the shadows were just the classic circle or just no shadows at all. Still it is stunning the n64 could handle what was thrown at it. The AI in the game was the most fascinating thing I have ever seen in a game and still is. They are smart and fight one another (really fun to watch) I found the game to run best in Hi-res-LB and looks the best as well. The weapons are still the coolest weapons in any game on the face of this planet and all of them are uniquely different. My favorite weapons are the Tek Bow, Shotgun, War-blade, Razor-wind, Cerebral bore, Plasma Rifle, Mag-60, Grenade launcher, the kick ass Charge Rifle (ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING WEAPONS), Firestorm Cannon (like a mini-gun but different and bad ass sounding), Nuke, Flamethrower (The first fire to actually show 3D even in almost all games on n64), and the torpedo Launcher (because you can go through water faster). Music has always been one of my favorite things when it comes to games because the music sets the mood and Turok 2 has the best music in any n64 game I have ever heard, sorry Perfect Dark your music and K7-Avenger are great to but Turok is to bad ass. Iguana seemed to like it so much and acclaim that, that the music is in all Turok games as well as Vexx and Armorines and more have some similar sound. The multiplayer in Turok 2 to me is absolutely stunning (I run that in low-res) and is just as good as Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, The world is not enough, and Turok Rage wars. Quite a few games ran on the Turok engine as well. Armorines (a amazing game! Uniquely different yet just as awesome), and South Park (not many liked this game but to me it's like a mixture of Doom+Turok=South park!... The multiplayer is good to just don't go above 2 players.) So you see Turok 2 was used in many things and is an amazing game. Once you play it you will wish iguana and acclaim still existed. They were the company that developed and distributed games with their say so. Making their games unique. Most hated their games but they never looked at the work they did. Extreme G2 for example had so much done to it that it to suffered frame rate and certain levels were unplayable in single player Grand Prix but in time trials they all ran smooth and helped with remembering everything. Extreme g2 to me is the best out of the series. I have almost every game by Acclaim and love every game (except turok 3, its a good run the first time but compared to dinosaur hunter and seeds of evil it is crap). So Turok 2 is amazing! if you want to try it get it now! on n64 or even on PC! You will love the game and see all the death animations and creative designs and levels! Turok is the greatest fps try them all! (your own risk for 3 but a good to the collection) Dinosaur Hunter 1 amazing smooth game great n64 game, the first fps on n64. Seeds Of Evil 2 Worthy sequel and is amazing in graphics and game play. Shadow Of Oblivion a okay game for the first run but great for the collection. Rage Wars the true sequel or attachment to Turok 2 and has great multiplayer and just as bad ass guns. Evolution fantastic remake of the first Turok starring Tal'set and has amazing weapons and is the biggest game of them all featuring over 14 chapters and has awesome multiplayer. Turok PC,360,ps3 I played it on 360, Runs on the Unreal Engine (which is bad ass) a great game with good weapons (Why I liked it is because I was quick and accurate, I run faster than slow ass call of duty and has worthy death animations like Turok 2 but not as good and not as good music, awesome multiplayer [if anyone is on] and a good campaign). These are the Turok games! Which started out as comics and became life and were playable. Get Turok 2 you will enjoy it! And bring a few friends over! It is A True Turok Game and is worth being played even in todays cliche fps trigger happy CoD fans.
Bonus stages are also here. There are two main bonus levels, one being a small, slot machine type game you play to earn extra lives, apples, gems and the like, and the other are stages where you get to play as Abu; Aladdin's pet monkey. The great thing about the Abu stages is that they're based on precise character placement, jumping, sword slashing (yes, even the cute monkey has a sword - awesome!), and collecting various items. These stages work well, in the sense that they enforce how tight the control really is in this game, and the animation on Abu, much like every single character in the game, is seriously astounding. For my money, this is one of the single best animated games of its generation, coming in at a close third to Earthworm Jim 1 & 2.
After much practice I still managed to beat the game even though it blatantly cheats.
1 Vs 3
7727 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Spider-Man has been in a lot of games in his career, from his first adventure on the Atari to the recent game for the Playstation. Between the two, this Genesis game came out and it didn't exactly set the gaming world on fire. What you're looking at here is a very average game that doesn't do our friend Spidey justice. The gameplay is just too bland and repetitive for it to be fun. While it does have plenty of his best villians, it doesn't make it any more enjoyable. Graphics are good, sound is okay, but there are better games out there. Sadly, the Playstation Spider-Man game has been the only game to truly capture what Spidey's all about. If you have a Playstation, pick that one up. But for you Genesis owners, you're out of luck.
5.the death sequences the character Andy suffers are hilarious- typical of the games charm, evident throughout
2838 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can be more fun than running around chasing monkeys? the are plenty of levels and gadgets to play with. The only downside is that the paddle boat is impossible to control in my opinion. Each monkey has its own charateristics and weapons. just trying to run up and snag the monkey doesn't always work. special gadgets must be used first. Pretty much run around the world getting rid of monkeys using gadgets. The game is pretty explanatory but is loads of platform fun. also includes minigames that can kill some time with friends.
What This Game is All About:
606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 LucasArts has really outdone itself with this great N64 game. After Shadows of the Empire was released, it quickly became obvious that the best level in the game was the first level, where you are flying a Rebel Airspeeder during the Battle of Hoth. LA decided to make a whole game using a similar concept, and Rogue Squadron was born. You play as Luke Skywalker, leader of Rogue Squadron, a group of elite rebel pilots who roam the galaxy, making life difficult for the Empire and its minions. You play through 16 basic missions, which together form a loose plot chronicling the adventures of Rogue Squadron during the time between the destruction of the first Death Star and The Empire Strikes Back. The missions range from simple search-and-destroy missions, to escorting supply trains, to freeing rebel soldiers from Imperial prison facilities. Along the way, you must learn to handle a variety of rebel craft, from the X-Wing to the Airspeeder. Each craft has its own strengths and weaknesses, plus each craft has a special weapon, which means that you are required to use each craft on certain missions. After you complete each mission, you may be awarded a bronze, silver, or gold medal based on your performance. After completing a mission, you can move on to the next one, or else go back and try again to get a better score. The game gives you a score summary after each mission, so you know right away which areaas you need to improve upon to get the gold.
Even without the mod this game is slamming!!!.
Aside from those big parts of the game, you can also try to make one of the several girls in the game fall for you. To me, it was always Karen that I went after. How you make them grow fond of you varies for each one. If you take too long, though, you won't have to worry about any of them. You will be all alone. Forever. They will each get married to someone else or run off.
6193 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I own this game. I have gotten a 5 star rating once but it is dumb because if you run out of money and go into debt you can't get your money back or build anything. The people get impatient and stressed out and then they start taking your money away. I would recommend that you buy Spider Man or the Spider Man Movie Game instead of this annoying game that never ends.
4093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A modern classic, this is an finely-honed first person shooter with a compelling story, some excellent action set-pieces, great presentation, and a ground-breakingly perfect musical score. It reeks of quality, and stinks of class - the creators obviously cared about making a good game, and that simple fact sets 'Half-Life' apart from everything else. Now almost two years old, 'Half-Life' is still just as good as it was, and it could be released tomorrow and still make the same impact. It's an embarrassment of riches, with too many good things to count - in amongst the seemingly-intelligent soldiers, giant tentacles, amusingly jingoistic security guards and radioactive water the game almost off-handedly solves the problem of how to tell a story with a computer game - and it's extremely immersive. You really need to play it with headphones, or an expensive stereo. Everything from the plausible, gloomy environments, to the metallic chatter of your machine-pistol, fits the atmosphere perfectly, and there's a sparse, scary set of musical cues which mix ambient techno with noisemusic. It's even excellent fun as a multiplayer game, or even in related 'Team Fortress' form. It's rock-hard, too, but in a way that makes you want certain bits again and again. All told, it's a classic, and you should own it already (plus the mission pack).
In all, Vandal Hearts is a great game that should be played by everyone who likes turned-based strategy. Even though it's not as good as Final Fantasy Tactics, It's still tons of fun to play. Highly Recommended.
I would recommend this game to any RPG player, or anyone who has access to a compatible system and hasn't played it before.
7642 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love these games
11. Lud's Gate
6559 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, now I have Final Fantasy I, II, V-X. i just need III and IV. But this game itself with V and VI on separate discs is quite the adventure, I haven't gotten too deep into it, but it seems any avid FF fan will love to add this to their collection.
2273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I must admit, I was a tad dissapointed that we had to buy this thing in order to play some games for the N64. Not that many require it, but the best games DO require it to get the best performance out of it. As the days of Nintendo went by, so did the games and so did my endless day in the house and not leaving it, to play with my N64. I've come to the realization that the PAK does help out much with many games that don't even require it. A fact that you might not know about the expansion pak is that it does, in fact, help every N64 game out there, however, not all of them take in the dramatic effect that it has to offer. Games not designed for it, won't use it as much or as well as games that do work with it will, however, little things can be improved. As with the N64 Expansion Pak, I've noticed that many games (designed for it) work more than well on the system and are greatly improved. As the fact that Nintendo is pushing out games that now require it (Majora's Mask, DK64)it is vital to have it. A tad pricey, yes, but beneficial all the same.
The gameplay is purely genuiss and bullet time aspect of slow motion is awsome. Really there are no bad points i can think of, just don't let the kids play this one.
I love what Eidos has done with the role-playing game and first-person shooter. The idea of making a "first-person sneaker" is a reality. This game hits it right on the mark. Your character is weak in head-to-head combat. It is hard to beat just one guard with your sword, and if he summons his friends with a cry for help, then you are dead in the water. In "Thief", you must rely upon your wits, stealth, dexterity, and cunning to sneak past or ambush whatever beings stand between you and your loot-to-be.
6868 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 came fast great game and good fun to play something that will always be time less and n64 is epic
Overall the game is excellent and is a must buy even if our deciding to buy it now and you have a ps2.
Those are the only games you need on N64 that are worth it
overall this is a great game and a must in every n64 game librarie
Cons:
I got these to use in a project, so they are mostly disassembled now. Still work great for what I'm doing!
7754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like it.
Despite these complaints, there is a lot to like. Destroying buildings and collecting rdu's is a lot of fun. It's a satisfying feeling when you see your bulldozer driving through structures as though they were roadkill. The ability to destroy buildings and the patience required is what makes this very fun and rewarding. It's also very rewarding to finally complete those very difficult levels - especially if you do it in the nick of time. Receiving a gold medal on the toughest of levels is a great feeling. Too bad the game is short-lived. It may last you any where between 10 and 15 hours, but just when you think it's over, it's not. A lot of levels take place on other planets and after you get all gold metals, it's time to head to the time trials.
2810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just purchase this game a few weeks ago. It was the first that I played anything related to Myst. This is is user friendly, unlike other games where you have to fumble over the keyboard controls.
5902 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game i have ever played. I love this game.this is a must buy game. Its the best roleplaying game ever. Its the awesomest game.a must buy.
859 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was my second visit with Zelda after the original NES game. Wow. This game was SO ahead of its time in graphics, gameplay, story, everything. Seriously ground breaking stuff for when this game was released. I've played this game off and on for most of my life, first getting it around the time it was released.
This real time strategy games has three races that though diverse are well balanced. Blizzard made sure the game was challenging and fast paced. Whether playing the single player campaign game or against live players you will have to pay attention or be over whelmed. It is a game you will not want to stop playing. Highly recommended.
Graphics: Working Designs kept to the sprites and kept it looking a 32 bit rpg. They did do something to keep the story moving along with anime clips, wonderfully done by the way, which they used to introduce characters and to help the storytelling.
949 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the most fun multiplayer games you can play on the Nintendo 64. The single player portion of the game is enjoyable too but the real fun is in the multiplayer and racing and battling your friends. My friends and I logged countless hours with this game. The only negative I have is the AI cheats something awful in the single player portion but aside from that it's a great game in every sense and a true classic.
8104 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I made a big mistake when I first reviewed Duke Nukem: Time to Kill and gave the game 4 stars. It turns out that, as the game goes along, you're required to climb, swim and basically luck out avoiding gunshots from enemies. Enemies will ALWAYS hit you at least once before you can hit them. Not fair. The game is too hard, and the play control makes me absolutely sick. For some reason, you have to hit the Up button if you want to swim down. Makes NO sense at all.
9367 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great, thank you!
6705 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is the worst fighting game ever. You have to press start to change from punch to kick, the players are original, but just damn dumb, and the game is hard. You will be lucky enough to even pass the first person. The graphics are ok, but it's horrendous mechanics destroys any hope for this game, and you can't even change your character if you loose, so that forces you to hit the reset button every time you want to change characters.
It's like Starcraft with bad graphics, zilch instructions and awful controls. There are better games out there that are free!
The story is simply and still pretty satisfying. Evil Ganon is trying to escape from his sealed imprisonment, and you have to stop him. A some point you are able to go into the dark world, sort of a parallel universe version your normal world. This doubles the size of the game and really enhances the gameplay and exploring. Just wonderful. Good game length, about the size of a modern game.
In conclusion, Dark Reign 2 could've been a classic. It's the only game I've bought in the past two years that can be played straight-out-of-the-box, which even Diablo 2 can't lay claim to. And it has an excellent graphics engine. But it's the pathfinding AI and the too-brief single player game that really lets it down. Dark Reign 2 is, unfortunately, no Starcraft. But that shouldn't stop PC gamers from giving this one a fair go.
563 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Where to begin with this train wreck of a game. Twisted Metal 3 is like an abomination that should have never been made. 989 ruined the whole spirit and everything that made Twisted Metal 2 one of the best games ever made. The only thing I would give this sequel over the previous game was that the cars graphically look a little better. The game is so frustrating from the controls that it makes it no fun to play. Everything got worse instead of better.
9632 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 With a long list a horrible First Person Action games including the never to be released Dikatana, the sad Kingpin, and the horrific Blood II, it's a pleasure to see a really find, hardcore, and all together viciously wonderful first person shootem up game come across my computer screen.
There are many fun levels in this game including the train level, car level, and many other levels. Me and my friends love this game! If you like games like all tomb raider games, duke nukem, die hard, and tomorrow never dies you'll love this game!
The only real way to interact with Pac-Man to make sure he does what you want him to do is to shoot at stuff in the environment. You can make him eat foods like apples and hot dogs, you'll have to shoot at things to get them to drop from trees or to keep things from hitting Pac-Man, you'll need to shoot doors of stores (surprisingly the glass on the doors doesn't break) to make Pac-Man go in, and what's more, you'll have to shoot Super Pac-Balls at him to make him turn into Super Pac-Man so that he'll attack the ghosts when they appear.
This game is still amazing. The play control is amazingly smooth, and you can make mario do some unbelievable things. The worlds are amazing. You can go wherever you want to go, do whatever you want to do.
Along with some new characters (Maya, Kim Wu, Tusk and end boss Gargos) and returning characters Jago, Orchid, TJ Combo, Fulgore, Saberwolf, Glacius and Spinal, you're sure to find some completely hardcore fights and of course, new combos, new moves and newly added supermoves. Also, no longer are fatalities done while your opponent is dying, now they are done during combos (Ultimate Combos). It's a great, new and challenging system.
4607 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the best FPS for PS One. Great graphics with a surround sound option. Comtrols leave a bit to be desired as far as customization goes. Not much for scares or surprizes and still mildly inferior to the legendary original.
The only major problem is that special ability system they designed for this installment of Final Fantasy tends to encourage an awful lot of wandering around killing huge numbers of enemies, so there are larger blocks of time than I'd prefer which are devoted to mindless battles rather than the plot itself. This seems to be a style that SquareSoft has moved away from in later games in the series.
The sound is quite good, with lively and catchy music, fairly good voice acting, and lots of boops, bumps and squeaks
Dragon folklore is derived from 2 backgrounds: European and Chinese. Stories of these mythical beasts have been passed down for generations, with each culture passing down different stories about these flying animals. The 2 cultures have intertwined in recent years, due to more contacts throughout the world. Although it is difficult to pinpoint exact origins for these creatures, they have still remained popular through various mass media, such as books and films. This game, however, is not the average dragon story.
Overall: probably one of the better games that money can buy right now. Numerous games that have come out since do not measure up. It has a very nice feel, and is very polished. A good purchase you won't regret.
2907 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As a long childhood fan of this game.. It was the first PS game that had completely mesmerized me.. Rich, breathtaking scenery that blends well with the brilliant underscore.. Fleshed out characters and a story that could stand the test of time.. I hope to introduce it to my children one day and they pass it on to their children's children.. Till the day I die, this will remain my favorite game of all time.. And will go down in history as one of the classics.. Nothing like it being made today.. 100% on this one.
1996 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even a decade down the line, this is a great game. The original Star Fox on SNES used a ground-breaking chip to create rudimentary 3D graphics. The N64 version took that and essentially upgraded it, giving the graphics an overhaul and tossing in a few new gameplay enhancements. This was one of the first games on the N64 to feature large amounts of speech, and also the first to use the rumble pak.
2866 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are a huge fan of the Doom games, then you will love this. Its Doom, with more of a humorous side.
9075 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I race dirt bikes and really enjoy dirt bike simulation games, but until Excitebike 64 came out I was left unsatisfied. I bought this game and pretty much continuously played it until I finished it, which was no easy task. The controls are easy to master after a little while, but the different difficulties of the track and computer races keeps the game challenging. Has a great diversity of different race modes, including edit your own track, soccer, and hill climb. The game even has a training mode to get the driver used to the controls. I highly recommend this game to anyone.
What fun.
6555 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 im going to rebuy it when i have the chance i didn't beat it yet good action... u get to use a good different amount of weapons i remember .. the cutscenes are pretty good .. and u can actually play two player on it when u get to the board with gabriella and she is helping u fight just plug in another controller and ur friend can play with u during the part u are fighting the minostuars only though
7023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rare was known for making some excellent games for the N64; Goldeneye 007, Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, DK64, Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing, the list goes on. And among all others, Conker's Bad Fur Day reigns supreme. However, Perfect Dark is probably their least mentioned work on the system. Its an amazing first person shooter off the Goldeneye engine, it runs smoothly, looks amazing, and plays wonderfully. If you're not willing to pay the exorbitant prices for GoldenEye, Perfect Dark is the best solution
5956 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You don't have to do a lot of thinking or puzzle solving in this game and sometimes I just like to kill things so this is great! The graphics are pretty cool and if you get upgrades the get better. I love the fact that you can be one of five characters now instead of just one of three -- the male characters still outweigh the female. There are some graphic glitches every now and then which make your assistants pace back and forth and not rush to your aid. The graphics can get a bit gross especially in act IV where you go to "hell".
1055 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario Kart 64, the sequel to the first Mario Kart game on the SNES is great. Nintendo got rid of some of the things that made the SNES title so much fun, but added a lot too. The gameplay is much more enhanced, the characters look much better and the individual go-karts are very realistic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3242 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this innovative game. The combat system is so fun. Picking up objects and throwing them at your oponents will give you significant advantage over them. The transformation after you collect all three power stones is so cool! I like the fact that everyone gets a chance to evolve and to become the strongest fighter.
Although Nintendo stopped making games for the Nintendo 64, Mario Golf is only one of the very few sports games I highly recommend for the system. Although many people might not see the review, because of the newer game system reviews and newer games of the Gamecube, Xbox, and Playstation 2.
can go in 1st person veiw
This game has wonderful graphics and sound for the era that it was made in. The size of a typical game back then, but with the technical advancements of some of the games today. The graphics are very good, as you can distinguish all characters and objects faster than immediatly. The game also shows no slow down rate no matter how many characters or items are on the screen at the same time. The sound is entertaining for a while, and it is different for almost all of the 16 courses, showing wonderful compositions with goofy sound added noises at parts.
7277 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well this is a change of pace, starting the week witha good game for once and not utter s***. This was actually the first F-zero game I was ever exposed to when i was little. I never was never really into racing games outside of Mario Kart when I was younger, most of the oens on the snes were all kinds of bad or went to ahrdcore into the realism for my tastes. I preferred crazy, off the wall racers. This, Mario Kart and episode 1 racer were the only racing games I owned for the n64, I know that limits my tastes a bit, but no reviewer is without bias (Also I was poor back then and not even out of HS yet).
2043 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Do you remember sitting behind the steering wheel at the arcade and playing this game? I know I do! Brings back a lot of memories!
If you're reading this I assume you know the basics (this is an RPG, the first 3D Final Fantasy, et cetera). I'm also going to take for granted that you realize that is game is over a decade old, and as such it's a liitle unfair to compare it to today's games (though it has aged remarkably well).
2935 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok
9157 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked on the 1st try. Plays well too!
8461 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game you must have in your collection instead Mario you be Wario trying to save the princess from an evil genie.
2=Great!
My true favorite is Regicide, in which each player has a King character and the last one standing wins. Sometimes when others destroy my entire civilization I like to hide my King in the forests, just for time.
2998 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It wasn't until the Greatest Hits version came out that I ever really took an interest in Final Fantasy VII. I guess it was because I wanted to pursue the game in my own time. Besides, back when this game first came out, you hardly ever found a copy on the shelf to buy. I was always one of the unlucky ones, it seemed. Finally, after obtaining a copy for myself, I got to see what all the 'hoopla' was about.
Ocarina of Time remains my favorite game of all time, even before some of my new favorites and there's nothing like turning on that N64 and playing over and over again. I never tire of this game. It is a true classic.
Don't expect a masterpiece of Sequelhood, but do expect a fun strategy gaming experience that will last quite a while!
205 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ok
201 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 AWesome, works without issues thank you!!!
4510 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 It seems some people don't like Call to Power because it's not Sid Meir's Civilzation, but that's exactly the point: It's a different game. This game is kind of a hybrid between Sid Meir's Civilization and Age of Kings. I think the AI intelligence is right up there with Civilization by Sid Meir. Also, the graphics are pretty good too. (This game is "old", so it may not be up to some people's standards.) Also, I like the huge maps and the lots of advances, city improvements, and units. Quite frankly, I like Call to Power's space-age military units better than Civilization's. If you're looking for a Sid Meir clone, don't buy this. But if you're looking for a fun alternative, this could be for you.
3912 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game it was really fast come to us.
- Too many moves are wrong, not done right, given to the wrong wrestler ect and high flyers like Rey Mysterio don't have off the rope moves or anything, there basically grounded. or moves are missing, hogans leg drop is not a finisher, Nash doesnt do that size up thing in the corner, scott hall has no choke slam, lex luger has no torture rack, sting does headscissors, but its the wrong headscissors, he does a cruiserweight one instead of the regular one, randy savage doesnt raise his arms on the top rope elbow, god knows what else is missing.
New Weapons. Okay, so initially I thought the (((Rain Missile))) was the best thing since sliced bread. But really, the rain missile doesn't do very much apart from visual appeal. The missile shoots into the air and you detonate it, and a ring of fire falls down like five mini-napalms. It doesn't do the damage the napalm does, but only allows the cars to drive through so they start on fire...at least until they turbo (stop-drop-and-roll in TM maneuvers) out of it 2 seconds later. Minimal damage done.
743 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived on time, works great , my daughter loves it.
The game begins slow and is a little confusing at first. You are moved from location to location and given a lot of story (the story in Tactics is the deepest of any bearing the name Final Fantasy). You must fight by moving your characters around the field of battle and placing them so that they can do the most damage while hopefully avoiding getting too injured. Terrain is important. This game features a very well done job class system, so what job class your characters are affects what they can do. Only a chemist can use healing items, only a mage can cast magic, Knights are very strong and can wear armor, and so on. Mastering the job classes and learning what the best way to fight battles is very important and will determine how successful you will be. It seems a little daunting at first, but putting the time and effort into this game is worth it. It is often overlooked, but it is one of the best on the Playstation. For RPG fans, Final Fantasy fans, strategy fans, or just someone looking for a great game and a new experience: Final Fantasy Tactics is the game to get.
9454 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this a long time ago and now that i have a Nintendo 64 again i have been restocking all of my old games, this a classic right on par with ocarina of time and other major games! this is a must have for anyone who is a fan of the older nintendo consoles!
I've played it the second year after it came out, stopped, and went back. Clan leader of 4 clans and second rated general to the leader of 12 clans, so I'm pretty sure I know this game quite a bit. Oh yeah, I would say the rating is 4.5 not 5 as there are flaws even though insignificant.
Bottom line, amazing game for any Michael Jackson fan or SEGA Genesis fans.
4305 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 PROS:
If you own this game, there's an easy cure. Either melt it in a fire or throw it in the sea or anything that makes it dissapear from existance, please don't sell this game to anyone. It's an insult that this game was even made.
In blitz you can make your own plays even choosing if you want the player to fake at the time spin or even go faster. But the plays aren't always as successful as they seem when you make them.
7967 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A fitting end to the Donkey Kong SNES era. Was never a huge fan of Dixie or Kiddie Kong but this IS a Donkey Kong Country game so you know it's going to be awesome.
4644 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At the time when the Neo Geo Pocket Color was released, I, like many others, didn't buy it because I wanted a Game Boy Color. SNK, although extremely successful in Japan, was not able to match the popularity of Nintendo's well-marketed new handheld console in America. Sadly, SNK USA eventually went under and the Neo Geo Pocket Color disappeared from shelves.
First off, the graphics are quite nice, with four different worlds filled with tracks that up the ante on every other racing game out there. Imagine double loops, steep drops, sudden turns, lava, driving on the ceiling, and corkscrews that make the whole screen spin. Speed-wise, Extreme-G is second to none. Unfortunately there is that dreaded layer of fog (a different color for each world) to hide pop-up and keep things moving at high speeds. While it doesn't disturb the gameplay (the fog is not as close as in Turok), it comes at the expense of any sky texture or backdrop that could have lent the tracks more personality and made the loops and twists more dizzying. Another problem is the frame rate. XG often moves so quickly, the N64 is having a hard time to keep up a consistent frame rate. But in the end, XG's incredible sense of speed, the excellent track layouts, and some very cool roadside graphics and lighting effects quickly make you forget these cosmetic shortcomings.
2443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best battle games ever made.( in my opinion) My friends and I used to play this all the time when we were younger and we were having a party and thought it would be a lot of fun to play again. The only problem was none of us could find our copy so I got a new one.
There are a few mini-games and side-quests too. Trying to find all the heart containers is a challenging (and fun) task. There are a couple of weopons which are not essential to finish the quest, which is good. You can find them for the fun of it. Plus, you have two (almost identical) worlds to explore.
A must have to keep the 20 year old systems working.
7880 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've played this game for a long time, and it's one of the best shooter games. It may not have an obvious story, but it's still fun. The graphics aren't bad, the characters and creatures look great. The levels get harder as you progress through the game, but it's not impossible. The weapons are really cool, especially the ones that you find later in the game.
The really astonishing thing about this game is the game-play design, level design and balancing and yes, to a large extent this is because of the AD&D system that powers the game's concepts.
~Single player~
Missions very unforgiving
4336 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 looks like re-made software and the joystick won't work properly. Sucks.
Rare has a history of making tough games and Diddy Kong Racing follows this tradition. There's so much to do and look at and for the dedicated gamer, this game delivers. But for those who don't have a lot of time to invest or are easily frustrated by an intense learning curve this game brings, you may not want to play it. With its great graphics, main story mode with lots to do and a decent multi-player mode for you and 3 other players, Diddy Kong Racing is a good effort from Rare. Whether or not this is a better game compared to Mario Kart 64 depends on who you ask. Give it a try if you can get this for a low price. As an alternative, you can pick this up for the Nintendo DS but it went through some changes as a result of Rare porting it over.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a casual Nintendo fan who immensely enjoyed other games on the Super Nintendo and Nintendo games on newer consoles, Super Mario World isn't one of them because it's frustrating and it sucks.
If you love exploring caves, catacombs, dungeons, and having to constantly fight, then you will love this game. Lots of challenges, puzzles, and lots of ways to die, too. The game requires patience, and if you are a true RPG fan this game is a must have.
NOW GET THIS GAME AND GO ON AN
2. I haven't played many Full Motion Video (FMV) games, but I thought this one was very well done. The acting is as good as that on any Star Trek episode; the Borg are horrifying and menacing; and Q is in magnificent form, as usual. It was great fun to have Q chastise and insult you in the same sarcastic way he uses with Picard or Janeway.
Strategy becomes an enormous factor in playing this game, purely because your objectives will often require teamwork. The game has made this easy by providing you with the ability to individually change each of your robotic teammates' AI. Better yet: play with your friends via the internet (NOTE: internet play is extremely laggy, so i wouldnt recommend even trying it without a broadband connection of some kind).
Opposing Force is built on the same quake2 half-life engine, Almost everything from the main menu is the same as half life, There are many new weapons but not any cool weapon like the crossbow, Even the crowbar is not here. The Grenade is looks much smaller here, Maybe Gorden freeman has small hands or maybe Adrian has large hands. Many new monstors but none like Gronarch. Many new charecters but i did not like the new security gaurd, The one who opens the door to let Shephard out in the first level. Compared to HL the game is quite short and linear, The load times are quite longer and the story is quite unbelivable and some sences are very silly. The puzzles are good but most of them are inspired from the orginal game, In one level you need to kill a monstor the same way you kill the tentecles In the HL level "Blast Pit". I did not like all the silly jokes too (No aliens were harmed during the creation of this game), Gearbox this is supposed to be an expansion pack for half life not Quake. Just like thief you need to climb ropes too, But climbing and swinging ropes is quite badly done and not as easy as thief. Opposing Force is not an awful game, It is a very good game and a must for half life fans, But it lacks the great story, superb gameplay, great puzzles, level design, superb action and orginality that made half life so great. It does not live up to the expectations it created as the half life expansion pack.
889 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fantastic. Personally, I love it. Have you ever played a game where an evil witch is ugly and wants to be evil so she steals a beautiful girl named Tooty to try and transfer the beauty to the ugly witch? Also, have you ever played a game where a bear and bird have to collect golden puzzle pieces, musical notes, dinosaurs mixed with teddy bears named Jinjos? Also, have you ever played a game where a shaman transforms the bear and bird into various forms? Well, if you haven't, this is where to start. This game is perfect for all ages. I would recommend this game to anyone who has a N64.
1287 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sometimes the game crashes at certain points, but still OK
Overall, even though there are minor setbacks which keep it from being perfect, X4 is still by far one of the best in the series. It's very easy to find and a great way for newbees to get into the X series. The next two games turned out to be a mixed bag of sorts (X5 was made for beginners, and X6 for hardcore fans. Go figure). So what are you waiting for? Get equipped with bubble lead and go buy this game right now!
4711 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game came a lil late but was worth the wait sotn was and still is my second favorite castlevania game next to super cv 4 i only ever rented it back in the day or borrowed my buds copy but now i own my own copy and an original playstation and i get alot of play an fun outta it
8745 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this great game over 10 years ago at a friends house, and fell in love-I actually like this better than the Mario series. I recently found a Genesis system by sheer dumb luck, and along with it Sonic 1 and 2. I popped it in and was re-united with a long, lost friend. And the music! That is one of the reasons I got the game! The graphics are "outdated"-so what? The gameplay on this blows away many of today's games. We are all bombarded with life-like games today, but this classic and others like it are what set the stage for the current wave. Right now, a lot of people are out getting the newest games, I am going against the grain and playing the classics. While I intend to get a "next gen" system soon, I refuse to put these old games out to pasture. Sonic will live forever!
The game is one big and bad puzzle floor where crushing cubes come falling your way and you need to avoid them by making use of explosives you place in the floor. The more cubes you destroy, the more points you get, and as you advance further the speed the cubes come your way increases by dangerous margins.
1620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As most already know twisted metal is a car combat game collect weapons and destroy your enemies as you drive pretty simple idea that can definitely be fun....
I WAS WRONG ! fun game, your actions change the story an how others will interact with you. Download a few "add on " utilities for this an you will become a GOD.....lol
7th Best: New characters. I'm lovin' the new addition of characters, including Coco Bandicoot, Crash's sister (whom I think should've been in the 1st game).
BUY AND PLAY THIS GAME!
We're approaching the target now, and beginning our bomb run. Out of the blue and shouted over my headphones, tail gunner says 'Bandits!, Six o'clock high, coming in now! Looks like 109's'. I'm firing now, remember - lead them, fire just ahead, let them fly into the stream... I'm missing!, God what a time to realise I should have put in more practise. From the waist position I see a black puff with an evil orange eye, burst under the port wing of the 'fort' flying next to us. 'There goes another 17' over the intercom as it slowly sinks out of formation, smoke spewing from two engines. Shrapnel has punched holes in our wing, metal frame is showing. More serious is the injury to the turret gunner. 'Navigator get back there and see what you can do'. The bombardier calls out ' 'Bomb doors open'...time seems to stand still, finally...'Bombs away', the shudder and sudden lift confirm it. 'Head for home.' Starboard outer engine now sputtering, any flames? No, smoking slightly though. No need to feather engine. How long to go? how many injured? how bad? Did I mention this game was immersive!!!?
7974 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In June 1995, two of my dad's work friends took me out to dinner. We had Little Caesars pizza. That wasn't the only cool thing to happen that night. I also was allowed to pick out a present. Nothing too expensive, just a little something to keep me entertained. We walked to a video store that was ready to go out of business. They had some WWF wrestling videos (back then it was called WWF, not WWE like today), and I was about to buy a video because the prices were cheap and I was a big wrestling fan at the time. But then I noticed a nearly-empty shelf to the left of the wrestling tapes where The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past was sitting.
Planescape Torment had this and much more.
In one sentence: A more challenging version of Mario Kart that includes hover boats and planes.
Another reason is the fantastic gameplay. The stealth is something innovative and welcome. You really shouldn't shoot everyone(no matter how tempting)because they will call for back-up and most likely kill you. Weapons are fun to use and items help make it easier to go along.
Basically, for Sonic 3, the thing that was improved the most over Sonic 2 was special features (and graphics). Not only did they add a verses round, but they added more options such as time track (try to beat your best time w/ separate characters!). Also, the saving mode allows you to save where you left off from, and also saves all your lives and continues. Once you've completed the game, you can go back and play any level you wish on your saved game. You may delete any saved game that you want at any time, and you can even play no save! Tails can fly, which is an awesome feature. And, another added bonus is the addition of shields to the game. In Sonic 2, the only shield that existed was the protection shield, good for one hit so Sonic could be spared his rings (or a life). However, with Sonic 3, three new shields replace the old protection shield. The flame shield protects Sonic from any flame or fire-induced harm (even lava!), the water shield protects Sonic from drowning, and is VERY useful in Hydrocity (and other levels, since Sonic 3 has a LOT of water), and the lightning shield, which protects Sonic from a lot of electric hazards and also attracts rings by magnet. Sonic can do specialized moves with the shields, but even when lacking a shield, Sonic can do an insta-shield, which is useful when a hazard is near. Tails can also use the shields, but he cannot do specialized moves with them.
This is absolutely the best first-person shooter series on the N64.
DKC was probably the best DK game ever..
5077 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Forget about the repetitive Resident Evil series, this is the only horror game you need to play. The story, one of the most complex out there (With Clock Tower 2's as a close rival) features an ordinary citizen in search of his daughter, in a game whose atmosphere is in many ways similar to that of "Jacob's Ladder", with many psychological terror overtones.
Rayman is trying to save himself and he's friend's form being takeing over. If he does't the world will be lost forever.
SOUND:
A quick note on some of the earlier reviews. The overall rating of this game has been lowered because it made the mistake of being released too early in order to capture the holiday shoppers. Three patches have since been released and cleared up most of the technical issues involved. I haven't had any crashing problems as of late. This is a game I delved into not expecting to enjoy but was utterly surprised. A keeper for anyone that would like to spend their free time with an entertaining PC game.
The graphics and sound effects are of course dated but for their time period they're very well done and despite their age I actually found that I enjoyed the look and feel of it all. The strategic map is vast and diverse, and while the tactical arenas are more or less cut and paste I never felt like I was fighting on the exact same battlefield against the exact same opponent.
From it's highly interesting beginning at the start of the colonization of a totally Alien world, you can take your choice of factions to total Transcendence - going beyond humanity and almost becoming a god. There are more different ways to play this game then there is space to review it. Do you want to try you luck as the Scientist and research your way to the top? Or do you want to have Peace with the Peacekeepers? Or do you want to conquer the world with a religious fervor? These are just a couple of the great factions available during game play.
461 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 To say that the PS1 version of Capcom's X-Men VS Street Fighter is butchered is saying it lightly. What made the game so great in arcades was the tag-team feature in which you picked two fighters and could switch at any time during the fight. This feature made for great fighting fun, but because of the PS1's RAM inabilities, that feature had to be omitted. It's obvious Capcom released this game to make a quick buck on the X-Men and Street Fighter licenses, and while on it's own it can be a solid fighter without the tag-team feature, the graphics are painfully watered down, the game is loaded with sloppy frame rates, and there is loads of slowdown. If you can get past all that, this may be worth checking out if your a Street Fighter fan, but the Marvel VS Capcom games that would be released later on next-gen systems are more worth your time.
1725 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Having helped bring the series to fruition back in the '90s I had a tremendous opportunity to see and play them. The Developer, Naughty Dog had a great idea, and we at SONY helped them succeed. I love the gameplay, the graphics, the music and the humor. Lots of great animations and funny sounds, such as: "Oombadegha!". You'll just have to play the game to find out what I'm talking about. I'm proud to have been a part of the success of this series. The REAL tribute goes to the millions of you gamers who bought the game and enjoyed the fruits of our labor of love. Oombadegha!
The game is more a phsycological thriller and that's one thing resident evil never real had. RE brought the gore and zombies. You know what you were fighting and that it was man made (I.E. a virus). In Silent Hill it's all supernatural and occult related. Even to this day 11 years later this game still haunts me when I think about how scary it was.
6419 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm revising my original review where I originally gave this game 3 stars. After reading more about strategy and tactics I discovered that this game is much more fun than I gave it credit for. I realized that my own shortcomings were to blame and not the game. An excellent and fun addictive game that I recommend. This was my original review:
I think he might be a cannibal (or vampire) too, because he eats hearts to gain health. There is a really annoying beeping sound that reminds you when it's time to feed.
The Game Boy Pocket is small. It's very small. Yet, this does not detract from the functionality. Another plus is that this system has a CONTRAST SLIDER -- unlike the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance, you can alter the brightness or darkness of the screen -- perfect for when you're trying to see something that's just too bright to see (fans of the Pokemon series will remember the Fuchsia City Gym's infamous invisible walls, for example). The contrast slider and its black and white (not green and white like that of the Game Boy) screen alone warranted a buy for me back in the day.
I can't help but feel the red star collecting is overrated. When you collect red stars in Yoshi's Island, you feel like you're given a really elaborate and perfectly executed assignment since you also have to collect flowers and stars to 100% complete a stage. It's a lot to do not to mention really darn exciting and satisfying once you've acquired all these items, and constantly keeps your attention span in check while searching for them. Super Mario 64 basically takes that one red coin-collecting element of Yoshi's Island and makes it a main priority here. You often have to collect 8 red coins per stage (opposed to 20 in Yoshi's Island) to obtain one of the 120 stars. Ugh.
The plot is remarkably rich. Within the main story arc are many smaller stories that build the players understanding of the nature of each of the characters. There seem to be an unending number of weapons, powers, and monsters. More than enough material for many replays. The graphics are a bit primitive for our time, but were startling when this game first came out. As your imagination adapts to the imagery, the game becomes truly engaging on many levels. Final Fantasy VII is still one of the best of its genre, Whether you are a student of gaming or an aficionado, it belongs on your shelf.
-etc
Graphics aren't overdone. Good, you can find flaws, especially these days, the angles may alert some gamers as being old fashioned, but think about it like this... its not 2D. lol.
9989 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever just get the urge to..play a game? Not worry about having to die? Or just feel like you need extra help? Well rub the magic game genie cart..wait, better yet--input the codes (included in a book that comes with it) to make your game play more enjoyable! It's a nice thing to have.
6626 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played the original MOO (that's Master of Orion for those of you not in the know) and was instantly hooked to that venerable classic. But with no multiplayer support for the original I simply had to await the next installment. And then in 1996 it came. I love this game. I love this game, this constant source of irritation, glory, happiness, grief, anger, sorrow, and consternation all in one. Starting out as one of several races, each with it's own unique characteristics (Humans are good at diplomacy, Psilons are good at research, etc.), you start one one small planet in an huge universe, research your way to building better, and fully customizable ships, to both explore and conquer the other races. Along the way you'll meet the other races and either ally with them or oppose them. And when one crosses you by dropping bio bombs on your planet, rendering it almost uninhabitable, you'll seek the nothing short of the very destruction of thier race. I will make the Alkari bird beaks pay for thier insolence...with thier very existence! *Sigh*...it gets to you after a while, but you'll just have to trust me when I say that it is a very *good* addiction that you won't regret!
-Super Mario with a well written story was a awesome change of pace.
The are a number of hitches, unfortunately. The manual and tutorial are really inadequate--which tends to sting given that most of the fan-supplied data on the Web is gone. The supply-and-demand process is actually somewhat opaque. (I did figure it out, but it took me a while and some research on the 'net.) Your board of directors is very gullible, not able to look ahead even a month (this makes them easy to manipulate). The stock market stuff makes it easy to lose with a thriving railroad and doesn't add much to the game that I've experienced.
Same types of cases
You can pick between 6 characters, each with their own special shooting weapon. It's pretty cool how each weapon has a very distinct look for each character. One character called Mamma, has a thick-looking laser beam that just smears any enemies that happen to be standing in the way.
6303 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit, I was a bit concerned at the outset; aside from Lords of Magic, I've never been too big on games where you control only one character in your party, and the lack of ability to select an original class had me a bit worried. Wrong I was. This is definitely a keeper.
Thankfully, E102 Gamma came after Big. Gamma is a robot built by Eggman. You start out following Eggman's orders: Shoot the Sonic Doll, shoot the real Sonic, lock Amy in jail. After that, Gamma accidently sees Eggman torturing his robot rival, Beta, and starts to wonder if he should follow Eggman's rules. Like every good robot character, Gamma decides to betray Eggman and find his true destiny...
9001 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Unfortunately, I never got to own this game growing up when I had my Super Nintendo. My friend had it and I borrowed it once or twice and rented it. During the short sessions that I got to play it, I LOVED IT! It was so so fun, the mine carts were amazingly thrilling and the overall games presentation was just superb. I'm really bummed that I didn't get to own it, because it was awesome.

Fortunately, a great game still lies within the great storytelling. The Junction system really isn't as annoying as people make it out to be. Equiping guardian forces is a breeze, and the admittedly cumbersome "Draw" system of magic is tamed by the ease in building levels (you only need 1,000 Exp. per level, as opposed to the varying number of required Exp in previous Final Fantasies). And the battles, while sometimes dragging on longer than necessary, are generally enjoyable and interesting.
"Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World" (the official Japanese title) is the best 2D Mario out there, though perhaps "New Super Mario Bros. U" will usurp this game from its lofty throne.
5031 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is not a Resident Evil clone, nor does it follow in its foot steps. Silent Hill gives you a different kind of evil: the pyschological thriller.
3648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Story,
My personal history with "Yoshi's Island" is I first played the first few levels at a lake house with my scuba instructor's grandson in 1999. In 2002, I bought an SNES cart second hand on eBay and again played it briefly. At that point in my life, I had bought "Super Mario All-stars" and "Yoshi's Island" to play with my college friends, and several of them hated the visual style of "Yoshi's Island" so we really didn't play it very frequently. Fast forward to 2012, and I began playing through "Yoshi's Island" in earnest.
2. the character movements are a bit jerky, liker they're all descendants of the TinMan.
Overall, nothing industry bending, but a few (8-12) hours worth of moderate fun. Waiting until this game's price comes down, is my recommendation.
Mario 64
Overall, a pretty solid game that I definitely didn't appreciate when it was first released. Nowadays I can play Donkey Kong Land and say it's just really fun and NOT a ripoff of Donkey Kong Country.

590 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was feeling nostalgic last week so I started playing Unreal again. Probably for my third time through at this point! While Unreal doesn't have as much replay value as a game like Half Life it certainly does have its moments! Unreal was one of those really impressive FPS games for it's time. It boasted great graphics and intense game play. Of course by 2008's standards these graphics merely look silly! But if you were picking this up in '98 like I was, you were pretty impressed.
3196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best game on Dreamcast, and my all-time favorite fighting game. Replay value is excellent, gameplay is just fantastic.
If there is a shortcoming to the game, then it is the combat system itself. The feedback during combat isn't very good, which sometimes leaves you wondering why one of the characters is taking damage, or why your spell didn't work. The variety of weapons and especially spells is decent, but nowhere close to the variety offered by other D&D games. For instance, there are only two fifth level priest spells in the game. The combat is still fun though, and there isn't an excessive amount of it.
2744 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game was soooo bad, I took it immediately back to the game store where I got it from. I got it since I am a Superhero fan, but trust me, even if you are a diehard fan of Superman, resist the urge to purchase this game or trade for it or even accept it for free!!!!! This is one of those noway games that should be thrown in the microwave and have the molecules in it to be melted for good.
8736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is really fun, it's a totally must-buy for your SNES.
2089 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Originally released way, way back a little after the release of the original Playstation; Acclaim's Alien Trilogy (you can tell this game is old considering the film series stopped being a trilogy when the fourth film Alien Resurrection was released a year later on) is a straight forward first person shooter in which you play as Ripley going through all the Xenomorph infested areas from the first three films. By today's standard's the graphics, gameplay, and weapon options are all pretty dated, but in it's day Alien Trilogy was one of the better FPS games to hit the PS1. All in all, if you still have your PS1 and dig older FPS games, you should give this one time gem a look.
5193 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All that needs to be said about Metal Gear Solid has been said - Countless video game magazines and websites cite this game as a 'classic' or 'must-have.' I remember playing MGS at a friend's house from beginning to end when I was eight - still, nearly 11 years later, it's my favorite video game/game series.
9039 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fighting Force 64 is one of the best beat-em-up's on the N64. There aren't many, but this game single handedly more than makes up for what the system lacks in this genre. There's something so old school about playing this, that when you begin the game it will fell reminiscent of Streets of Rage and Double Dragon. I think FF 64 is the spiritual successor to those games. It just puts off that vibe.
Camera...
The only things I would change-
7561 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This product worked perfectly just as was described by the seller and was appropriately packaged I was very pleased with product
shame.
Included is the newer version of Mixed Up Mother Goose where young players help to recreate mother goose rhymes by reuniting characters with lost objects (no death in this one). The original MUMG had a certain charm, but only toddlers will fail to find this one annoying. Also included are both Laura Bow mysteries (about a girl detective in the 1930s), which are fun to play but are convoluted and very frustrating to solve (especially since they are in real time, so while you observe something important in one room, you often miss something else important in another room). Several text games that came out pre-KQ1 are also included (which will help newer players understand why KQ1 was so revolutionary).
1322 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived fast. In great shape. Love this game. Thanks.
9267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the type of game to play on a rainy Saturday afternoon, when you're in the mood to quietly sneak off into another dimension and heroically save the world there all by yourself.
8458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 old school turn-based strategy game... great story, lots of fun.

2044 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My son and I play this one together a lot. I have yet to best him playing this game, It was fun
1549 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Soul Edge - Circa 1996
Descent III also features a new game engine, known as Fusion, that enables the player to move from the familiar mines of the Post Terran Mining Corporation out to the planet's surface and surrounding environments. I guess this is hard to do in this sort of game. Additionally, they have improved the AI, and it really shows in the way the robots behave, and there is a significant increase danger to your ship in combat. The robots are all new and feature more polygons and detailed texture mapping than every before. Additionally, 3D acceleration is probably the best I have ever seen in any game. Descent 3 uses more dynamic light effects than any game I have ever seen. In fact, it is so graphically intensive, it is one of the reasons why I upgraded my 200 mhz to an Athlon 700. The demo ran fine on my old system, but when I bought the full version, even when I turned off all of the special effects, it barely ran. I would recommend at least PII 300, as does Interplay.
The story seems very cliche to me. A young adventurer named Justin wants to find new quests for himself. He's a troublemaker and later finds himself on the journey of a lifetime. He meets up with many new people and eventually realizes only he (with the help of his friends) can save the world. It is not very unique or at all intriguing enough, but many of the small side stories is what makes it interesting.
The other problem is the camera angles when walking around something. When you walk around to the other side of a large object, for some idiotic reason, the camera does not follow you. As a result, you are sitting there with your entire screen filled in by this object while you can't see Flik on the other side. Now, as if that situation is not bad enough, picture yourself having to do a platform jump while your view of Flik is completely blocked by a large rock on the screen, or being hit by an enemy that you can't see because the camera won't move. Instead of turning with you, you must stop for about 5 seconds after turning to allow the camera to "catch up." At the same time, the camera has a tendency to turn even while you're just running straight ahead in a single direction, which results in you being completely reversed. It's completely disorienting, and with the bland, nearly identical levels, you can find yourself lost and irritated very frequently.
If you really don't like worrying about broken weapons, there is a way to reduce or completely disable weapon deterioration. It's not a menu option you can switch on and off within the game, but the release notes file on the CD explains how to do it, and it's not difficult.
9133 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game is awesome and it was well kept. I did have to clean it a bit but it play great and it heart warming hearing all the classic sound. This game is something to have just because here is nothing like it out here.
4112 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To turn 5,000 words of praise for this magnificent game into three: BUY IT NOW.
If you are looking for a great story-driven, role-playing game, and not just a hack-and-slash game, then this is the game for you.
8.3/10
Zelda OCT is an excellent Action-Adventure RPG with an epic story line that seamlessly melds a complex kingdom and elegant fighting style into a grand video game. The characters are interesting, with even the most minor sentinels having a back story that you can uncover. The main story is fun to progress through, and you care about a lot of the characters you meet. The controls are excellent and perfectly integrated for fun, non-frustrating, game play. The bosses are challenging, requiring wit to uncover their weakness from the surroundings and circumstances before you can move in and damage them with your sword.
883 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games on the N64, it combines action, adventure, puzzle and other elements as you go through awsome based levels to beat it.
5149 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A Very Very Very Cinematic video game experience I Highly Highly Highly recommend this game to any person that wants to play a game with An Extremely engaging story experience there is soooo so so much plot to this game it's amazing! A must own must play period! Go buy it this or borrow it from a friend or family member or somehow someway get a hold of it if you've never played this.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3
4408 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first time I saw this game, way back in the early 90's, it looked interesting. What became of that was many years, even including last year, of playing it non-stop until I bought the 3D version.
And man did Sonic deliver a different experience than Mario.
The new character classes are unique and interesting. My favorites so far are the amazon, since you can kill the monster at range before it ever hits you, and the sorceress, because, well... she has all that cool magic. I'm not so sure about the necromancer, who runs around with dead things, but the paladin and the barbarian appear to be great melee combatants.
In the end, Mega Man Legends is not a game you'll remember for amazing graphics, razor-sharp control, or challenging quests. Instead, you'll walk away with a overall memorable experience.
From The Capcom Universe:
It's funny that I would review this now, because my computer won't even run a game this old. But, if you have an older PC, and it runs games, you need this.
The pretty low difficulty level of the game is also an important factor to look at as well. Considering this game is somewhat geared towards an younger audience, this isn't an error so to speak, but older, more experienced players will fly through the game in a handful of hours (especially considering most of the game bosses can be defeated by constantly circling around them and firing). Thankfully, Capcom added an unlockable difficulty setting to make the game harder for those looking for an additional challenge (oh and is it ever a challenge). Add to this Capcom increased the difficulty on Mega Man Legends 2 a few notches, and all can be forgiven here.
7166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is a superior and I agree with one of the reviewers...ERRRR...It...Does beat halo..I can't believe I said that. This game had brilliant well made graphics of its time.
2905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect
9833 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 what else can I say, I'ts kirby! my favorite Nintendo character!
Overall: 4.5
My biggest problem with the game is the camera sometimes. Especially when flying, the camera will be in a position where you can't see the ground below you so you'll have to guess as where to land. And you WILL guess wrong at least once. And you will die.
In comparison today, that would be like saying Nintendo should not have released "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" back in 2009 (three years into the Wii lifecycle) because obviously the Wii U is coming up and they should save it for a new system. The timeframe is the same. And according to your logic, for this generation we definitely SHOULD NOT have gotten Skyward Sword for the Wii, despite the fact it has had a five year development timeframe was began shortly after Twilight Princess came out..
Overall this is great game to pick up again just to see your favorite FF characters :). Anybody new to the series I recommend playing this one first or FF 12.
True to form RPG, you start low, have a mysterious occurance and you are on your way. Fun. My favorite characters are Boo and Minsk. There's even guest appearances by favorites from a couple fantasy series as well.
Pros: Smooth fighting style, Beautiful music, very high replay value and interesting story lines. Not to mention frequent save points. PA (private actions) are one the the highlights of the game, where you can intereact soley with another party member.
9802 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I usualy like Castlevania games so when I heard of their was one on Gameboy I bought right away. That was ... stupid. But I'll start with it's good qualities. It doesn't smell. That's something, right? Now the bad. You walk REALLY REALLY slow. You attack REALLY REALLY slow. Everything else goes either as fast or faster than you. When you jump accross platforms unless you jump at the very edge of you won't make it. The music is just 6 seconds of sound repeated over and over and over and over... Oh ya, and the graphics look like ....
2466 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I convinced my cousin to rent this game back when it first came out because we were crazy about pokemon and I loved the commercial for it.
6084 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like classic side-scrolling platformers, this game is definately worth getting. Its simple enough to just grab the controller and start playing but challenging enough to make you have to figure out what you'll need to do or get before you can go for 100%. Nice game and fun. This is a game I reccomend especially if you have little ones that come over often to entertain them with.
1490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Doom, Grand Theft Auto 3, Final Fantasy 7, Wolfenstein 3D, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid there are my favotite games of all time. Doom is definately a classic, the first time I played it on the computer, I was hooked. There's no telling how many hours I spent on this. As of many, I bought Doom the first day it came out on Playstation years ago. So too all you Halo players that have no clue what Doom is about, everytime you play Halo keep in mind that if Doom never existed most likely Halo wouldn't exist. The whole Doom series is definately worth owning. The Graphics and sounds are now way out of date but at the time they were amazing. This has some of the most complex levels imaginable, it'll keep you entertained for hours. So many games today are like so many other games. The ones that are special are the ones that stand out. This game took a risk to be different, and now it stands as being one of the best games ever created.

7708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lovely seller! Highly recommended! :)
The graphics are great, especially when played on the Super Game Boy. With the Super Game Boy, there's a border around the game that makes it look like it's on a Donkey Kong arcade machine. The graphics also shine during the final boss: Giant DK. He looks very cartoonish, but that is how the game is supposed to be: Cartoony and fun. Exercising, somersaulting Mario vs a huge King Kong-sized DK on top of a big building!
The controller looks a little unusual, but is actually very comfortable to hold. The analog stick is also very responsive, and since it's textured, your fingers won't slip off. There are many accessories for the Dreamcast (like the keyboard, fishing rod, light gun,etc) and many awesome arcade-style games. Check out gems like Capcom vs SNK, Illbleed, Code Veronica, and many many more.
4396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been playing this series for thirteen years now, and have never grown tired of playing. Even now, I am discovering new aspect of the game.
4183 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another addicting game. I have been trying to play this game and The Sims at the same time and there just isn't enough time. I played this for 6 hours yesterday (Sunday) and wondered where the time had gone. I had bought Disney's Coaster several years ago and thought this game would be just like it. Wrong! This game is way better. You have several scenarios you play plus you can play and redo real amusement parks. They give you lots a money to start with to build up your park. You control the admission fees, the price for all of the rides, price on the food, and you can even charge people for usin the restrooms. You hire mechanics, people to mow and clean garbage, security guards, and entertainers. You can change the color of every ride and play your choice of music. There a banners that will display any message you type plus you can name any ride or food place. The best thing is you can design your own rollercoasters and water rides though they are expensive (don't build your water ride too big as you typically only have 2 boats and the lines get long and customers get upset). You also do your own landscaping and you can see what every customer in your park is thinking and how each ride is liked. If you choose to, you can watch them ride each of your rides. The only conflict with the game I have seen was what they call "thrill rides". When you go to build these, the excitement level is typically low to moderate so I am not sure why they call those thrill rides. This is a very addicting game and time will get away. I think if you get this game , you will also get addicted and then you will have to go buy the other 2 expansion packs, just like I did.
One thing i almost forgot. The "bad" acting is intentional. It's supposed to resemble a cheesey 50s horror movie...if you don't get that or you don't like that than this game just isn't for you.
And finally, if you have a N64, Mario Kart 64 is one to deeply consider
The game is cool. Graphics are nice (not the best but better than some). The music is excellent. The voice acting is skippy but it works. The magic system can be difficult to figure out in the beggining and hard to level, but hey ^-^ there are places to level them without cheat codes. [For water, try standing in the green water at the tower and heal yourself. It does work, though it does take a few hours for each character--recommending Feena to level 99 water/wind.]
A month later I now own this fabulous game, and I also play golf too, although my real game needs some work, Mario Golf doesn't. It's fun, challenging experience that everyone can enjoy. Bring over your three friends and play all night, it's the best golf game ever made.
9659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in really good condition, played perfectly fine. I had tons of fun with this game, and I'd definitely recommend this if yore looking to have fun!
444 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the very 2nd one I played,part 3 as the 1st. Its nice seeing the younger versions of the characters and the events leading up to Tekken 7. Yes,SEVEN IS YET TO ARRIVE as of this review!!! Anyway....Easy mode is still hard by the time you reach the 7th fighter. The music is awesome especially King's. You can set the music to Arranged or Arcade. A great set of moves to learn so hop to it and buy it.
6737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 easy for on the go no problems at all
1198 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great deal.
There are a lot of fantastic games that look as good or nearly as good as the PS2 (which I also have). And to be completely honest, I enjoy the Dreamcast more now because of the wealth of fantastic games it has to offer. In time, I'm sure the PS2 will catch up and surpass the Dreamcast, but right now the Dreamcast is the machine that offers the most fun for your dollar, by far.
2170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This one makes the Street Fighter games on Super NES look so lame. It has lots of combos the appointeds move very fast. You can always tag team your partner during the game. When you do your signature move the back ground looks has flashing lights, speaking of background I have to say what amazing 2D graphics. Even though this game says Marvel vs Street Fighter doesn't mean only the super heros fight the Street fighters you can make Spider man fight one of the X-Men. I guset they got the idea to make this game is cause the japanese are have great animes these and the U.S. challenges them.
+ music tracks are great and change in style when you're in different spots
6472 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original "Medal of Honor" game is fun to play. Despite graphics that are cheezy by PS2 standards, gamers will find a thrilling experience! Grade: B+
Also, if you do get it, you might consider setting the control setup to DRIVER because the default control setup is kinda deplorable.
2074 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 well it starts off your this dude with orange battle armor on.youre traveling time to stop these giant bug/cyborg thingies from taking over.you get all the regular standard weopons like pistol,rifle,shotgun,bazooka,explosives etc. 1st your in greece.you roam the desert,operate tanks,fight bugs,blow stuff up,blast mountainsides apart,fly jets,blow stuff up,go to atlantis,find runes,nuke bugs with a sun shield and much much more! then its onto the rain forest in java.here theres lots of lava to avoid.i think the graphics here are beautiful.theres some cool boats,lots of cool planes.

The leveldesign varies from pretty good (snow-level) to simply amazing (amusementpark-level)
Overall
Before you buy this part, look up some youtube videos on how to replace it, and decide if you're comfortable doing this.. It took me about an hour or two, to cautiously tear apart, and replace it. You will also need a special tri wing screwdriver to open the casing. It's nothing overly complicated, but you will be tearing your gamepad down to its bare bones since the screen in on the "bottom" of the device.
P.S.: On the Select You Name menu, press SELECT to make the game easier. And, when you're in a course and die, quickly press START and then press SELECT to exit without losing a life.
The additional music CD isn't great, but it doesn't detract from the quality of the set at all. If you're one of those that got started on the Final Fantasy series through 7 or 8, be sure to check this set out. It's top notch.
2545 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember getting this particular Game Boy Color Atomic Purple for Christmas from my parents some years back. The difference between a monochrome gameboy, and the gameboy color is quite remarkable. It makes a dull gameboy game, a bright and colorful game. This gameboy was great for playing Pokemon, and that is one of my best memories about this gameboy gaming device.
1081 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me put it like this, if I had to destroy every videogame I own except one, this is the one I wouldn't destroy. This is simply the greatest game ever made. I'm not going to insult this game by trying to describe the storyline or graphics etc.. You have to experience it for yourself. Most helpful thing I can do is tell you how you can get to play this. This game has had dozens of ports. One came on a bonusdisc for Gamecube with "Windwaker" in 2003 and another came in a collectors edition (Master Quest) also for gamecube. If you can't get ahold of one of these, the original for N64, or a ROM you should buy a Wii and download it from the Wii Virtual Console. It will be worth the while.
Game Problems:
3452 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is very fun, plays quickly and offer a lot new features, wish it was longer though but the game is a little more difficult than the previous resident evils but still fun.
Gameplay revolves around stealth. Although there are guns, it is to your advantage to take out enemies quietly and one at a time - or avoid them altogether. You can go in guns blazing, strangle each enemy one by one, or hide from enemies all together - that is the beauty of this game. You are given many tools and gadgets to get the job done, but it is up to you to figure out how to proceed. Unlike many games today with only one right way to proceed, there are many possible strategies to use to make it through the terrorist base. There are also plenty of boss fights (which in my opinion are the best part of the game) which are all varied and interesting, as well as challenging.
784 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the games that made n64 so great, had graphics for the time, multiplayer all around fun and in my opinion one of the best games of it's time
This game is pretty realistic. There may be better games now, but during its time, this game was cutting-edge stuff. It's worth remembering, even though it was hard as heck. I usually just like playing the easy levels and maiming bad guys quietly.
6502 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These are 2 great games! They arrived quickly and the condition was new as advertised. The front of the jewel case has a crack and the plastic pins that hold the second disc in place are almost entirely broken off but the discs play perfectly and are they aren't scratched. I'm very happy to add these games to my collection and excited to play them for the first time.
2467 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you see this game around Immediatly purchase it on the spot. this game can provide hours and hours of multiplayer fun. (1 player is boring but better than playing multiplayer by lonesome) there a alot of unlockable characters that are pretty cool here tehy are: Captain Falcon from F-zero series, Ness from the rare Earthbound series, Jigglypuff from pokemon, Luigi from the Mario Bros. series, And if you have a gameshark there are cool codes the allow you to be the boss of the Smash Bros. titles, (Master Hand) and you could also be Metal Mario with a Gameshark. cool huh? have fun and train. This isn't one of those titles you can just rent and enjoy you gotta own it for it to be fun.
I love RPG games, and I've owened all the FF games from FFV and on (the previous ones weren't that great, in my opinion).
Black=First and Best PS2 Twisted Metal Arguably the best Twisted Metal of All

Ally with friends
6956 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 games exactly as described works and looks great
Overall, it's still WM the Arcade, so it's a great game... it's just a shame it's collision, music and AI bring it down a few notches.
Among the new features is your ability to garrison your townspeople in buildings & towers to get them out of harms way. Instead of being all men (like the first one), this one also includes female townspeople as well as Joan of Arc. Also new is the ability to create several types of military units at the same time using the same barracks / stable / archery range, etc. In the old version, you could make several units of one kind, but not several units of different kinds. A helpful aspect, to say the least. Another nice characteristic of the game is that you can actually upgrade scouts to light calvery. That means that you can have military units on horseback (that don't cost any gold) which are actually semi-decent in combat (not so with AE I).
7941 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My favorite thing about the Zelda games is they take so darn long to finish. In this way, playing a good video game is like reading a good book. It takes a long time, but it's worth it. This game tells a great story, and it really immerses you into another universe. You're placed in a different world with different limits, and it's like you live a whole other life in a few months (or days, if you're a hardcore gamer). You follow Link through trials and tribulations on the quest of a lifetime, and fighting them ugly video game monsters is a nice way to have a bit of fun after a long day.
The action is believable, the training is semi real and the charcaters are interactive. Seeing the ship is very cool as well. The younger people seem to like the color and interactivity of it.
First Kirby game,
Music (score 7/10): The music itself is pretty average for an RPG. It's decent, but not astoundingly good or anything. What is of note, though, is the voice acting. Yes, there is voice acting, which is unusual for a PS1 game. Not just that, but the voice acting is pretty good. I've heard better voice acting on more modern games, but for a PS1-era game, it's pretty darn good. Believe me, I've heard much worse (Grandia comes to mind), so kudos to the developers for hiring some decent voice actors.
4991 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really great game, use to play it back in the day, like the way the characters are lurking in the dark. Never finished the game and thought what better time then now. As well I bought it for my brother for a birthday gift.
3766 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 9/99/99. The day the Sega Dreamcast was launched with a few dozen titles available at launch. One of them was Sonic Adventure. I have played every Genesis Sonic game for hours and hours and have been a huge fan of Sonic ever since. I was very excited when I got this game with my Dreamcast.
2034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so much fun! This is where it all started this game is one of the best mario parties. There's 6 characters who are arguably to this day still the most popular mario characters. There's 50 minigames and 8 fantastic boards!
I didn't play far enough to see if Donkey Kong corrected any of this, but it looks like it didn't. It just changed the setting from running around inside of a mountain to running around inside of islands. Great.

Best part of it: the fly sensation. The meccs have a jetpack and the reaper has an incredible "turbo" power that actually make them fly or jump granting you an exceptional almost real "speed and fly" sensation.
1917 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best survival horror games of all time. If ya don't know, now ya know...
7440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great
The lengh of the game was great...Not too long but great...
The one big flaw, which prevents this game from getting five stars, is the clunky controls. I pity the person who plays this game without the analog joysticks. Harry is very difficult to move around, thanks to the complicated control system. It takes a while to get used to them, but by that time you will have gotten killed a few times. The monsters come out of nowhere, and you have mere seconds to react. With controls this complicated, battles are really frustrating.
The game is fairly easy to play, once you master the controls. You'll need certain rooms in place (lair, hatchery, blacksmith, prison, torture chamber, and library) to really get things going, along with a number of choice spells (heal, rally, make gold) that can be researched at the library. You have limited control of your creatures, beyond being able to drag and drop them. You can take direct control over a creature with the possession spell and even have a number of creatures follow you. This puts the game into first-person perspective, which can be fun but not all that useful in later stages of the campaign. But again, the real joy of the game is all of the naughty things that you can do, like torture captured heroes in your custom-built torture chamber, have corpses drug to your graveyard where they might eventually attract a vampire to do your bidding, or summon the god-like Horny Devil to turn the tide of a battle. A fully fleshed-out dungeon feels almost like a small town under your control, and you can spend hours just admiring and tinkering with your handy work (or trying to keep your minions happy). And though a somewhat dark game, DK2 has more than its share of humor, from the Vincent Price-like narrator to the casino that gives you a ridiculously funny treat if one of your monsters hits the jackpot. The game never comes across as cheesy or trivial, but it obviously does not take itself too serious.
SOUND: FF7 had an incredible soundtrack that enhanced the gameplay and made that game even more memorable. FF8 is no different. I truly have to thank Nobuo Uematsu for all the hard work, time, and effort they put into this game's soundtrack. Even the introduction music is stellar. At times I would find myself humming some of these tunes in my head.
Pros: Sim type game
7229 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect Dark is the all time best first person shooter for N64. it has awsome gameplay. the graphics are good... not great. and the only problem is on multi-player. if you hav a bunch or people playing it gets really fuzzy and slow. i highly suggest buying this game if you like 1st-P Shooters.
Necromancer- send your skeletons and golems(who will become VERY powerful as you gain levels, and yes you do get experience for monsters your "pets"killed)to fight for you

4586 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I finally got my hands on a copy of this. Its a version from Europe, for some reason the American release date isn't for a month or so. Regardless I'm sure the game will be the same. So let me tell you about it. My first impressions are, holy smokes. This game is going to be a huge hit. I'm not sure where to start. Well for one, the graphics are simply amazing. You can fly a huge variety of planes, be it American or German. But the best plane to fly is the B-17 of course. You can man all 10 positions in the plane, and during a mission can switch back and forth. During attacks you are so busy keeping track of everything the time just flys by. You can man a gun turret, pilot the aircraft or even be the bombadier. And if you are unfortunate enough to get shot down, well, don't fret, just switch planes and continue the mission. You can jump into any plane you want, be it the bomber, or your escorts. There are tons of missions to choose from as well. You can do the standard quick missions, training, longer missions from start to finish and various campaigns, both historic and some created ones. I'm amazed they packed this all onto one cd. This game has been in the making for so long, but it was definetly worth the wait. Anyone who likes WWII flight sims will fall in love with this game. I've only had it for a few days since it came in the mail. If you can't wait, get it from a Euro dealer, otherwise, it shouldn't be much longer till North American audiences enjoy this.
Sound:5/5
3581 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 9/9/99. The day the video game world was changed forever. Sega launched its Sega Dreamcast which had graphics far superior to anything else availible. It also had internet capability to play games over the net and could also play music CD's. The Dreamcast was very succesful in its first weeks on the market, selling more than 500,000 in its first week.
1835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sure the storyline isn't that special. And the in game jokes are cheesy. And some parts of the game are not a challenge at all. But there is something about this game that keeps you coming back for more. Its not too tough. But it is enough of a challenge where you will keep playing it just to find everything in the game.
Metal Sonic and Hyper Shadow are one of these guys you will face in the stages after Egg Emperor and Final Fortress.
Resident Evil 2 offers a lot of replay value. There are hidden items and other goodies you may not see during your first run, and I highly recommend trying both possible scenarios (Leon A/Claire B and Claire A/Leon B) for the game before moving onto other games in the series. There are also secret game modes and weapons to unlock in this game.
Gameplay:15/5
Intense final battle against boss
A trick to help you: when an enemy is chasing you, run as far away from him as possible and THEN turn around. Usually the enemy will be far enough away that you will have time to control Mega Man so he's facing the enemy directly. Then, simply wait for the enemy to get close and fire away! I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't figure out the controls- it's not the greatest way to control a character. I'm not sure if Capcom improved the play control in Mega Man Legends 2.
Even with the solutions, it still might take a little bit to do this. I
4631 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fallout II, while falling short of the original Fallout, or the squad based Fallout Tactics, is still a fantastic game, definitely worth a look. It plays similar to the first installment, but boasts better graphics and richer character dialogues (The two things going for it.) I recommend purchasing the dual package, which contains both Fallout I & Fallout II. It is worht the price for the first alone, and the second is a nice bonus. Four stars, highly recommended.
Gameplay: 10/10
3008 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very expensive, but this game is worth it. for anyone looking to buy it know that the ps3 has it as an available download for like 10 bucks. ya its no on a cd like you remeber, but hey it saves you some cash. this game is great its a must have game for any true rpg gammer.
6200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works better than I imagine
Conclusion:
This game is extremely fun and tells a great story. You can play through 6 times without it ever being the same game. Also, if you put Randomizer on, you can play through again and again just to challenge yourself. Earning the 2 secret scenarios will keep you busy enough as it is. This game gets a 10!
4826 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rules although is only a 16-bit game. The best way to play this game is by using the arcade stick. Using the regular DC controller can be very difficult, especially when doing the special moves. If you are a SNK freak then this is a must have for your collection, but if you are not an SNK fan then give it a try.
7008 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game works like new
My biggest beef is with the poorly translated script. Other than that it is nearly flawless.
This game is very easy to learn, extremely addictive, colorful, fun, challenging and funny. It has dozens of playing options and many cool sounds. It is quite entertaining with lots of clean fun for the whole family.
3767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an awesome game. The graphics are the best that have ever been on any sega system. It has an interesting story and you can play as a few of the old sonic characters from the tv series and the comic. You can even play as super sonic which looks awesome in these graphics. This game will keep you hooked even after you beat it because you will be wanting to do all the levels untill you get all the emblems for beating the level in certain ways.
Play Control: 1/10 (over responsive to the point of frustration)
9366 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
And Ganon in the painting still has to be one of the coolest boss battles of all time.
3494 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had one of these when I was a kid, but for what ever reason it went missing. For as long as i kept playing my Dreamcast i could never save my games. Now i decided to find one so i can relive my childhood with this and it looks and works exactly how i remember it from way back when.
Crash must go through 25 levels and 6 bosses in this game, but unlike the later games in the series, Crash must tackle the levels chronologically by progressively going through 3 islands.
The emphasis is obviously on bone-crushing tackles, but after an hour of play, the only really enjoyable aspect of this is the ability to cheap-shot the offensive players long after the ball is whistled dead. The field-goal kicking system is particularly vexing, as it was apparently designed by a chimp with ADD, and requires eight espresso-mochacchinos in order to maintain the twitch focus required to accurately split the uprights.
The single player mode out side of the story mode is not as fun as the story mode. For one the AI only have one setting and if you don't stay a step a head of them they will destroy you. This mode is much more fun playing against several humans, via LAN game, than against AI. I haven't tried the on-line multiplayer yet, but from what I've read it's still pretty active.
5890 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This looked like a promising game and I really enjoyed it ... when I could progress through it. It was crashy/buggy on win2k. I was halfway thru the werewolf town episode and hit a bug that no patch fixed unless I restarted the episode, which I was too[upset]to do.
7613 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great condition
I want to set the record straight about something. People writing reviews for this game will probably tell you that Nemesis chases you around from the beginning to the end of the game. That's not exactly true. Yes, it's true he will be a problem for you until the very last level but, you should know that Nemesis does NOT follow you around for the entirety of the game- he just appears *sometimes*, messes with you by following you into rooms and whatnot, and then he disappears for a while. If you haven't played this game yet, some reviewers will have you convinced that Nemesis will be chasing you around ALL the time -nonstop- and this is NOT true.
3121 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The world of Final Fantasy VII is waiting to be explored; only question is, are you ready for it?
1911 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great product fast shipping
6013 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! As of this moment I have finished the game on normal difficulty and am about halfway through it again on Nightmare difficulty. And having a blast.
3876 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is excellent. The replay value is infinite- there are many characters, courses, etc. available for the dedicated player to find. On top of that, there are multiple modes for up to four players (Two or three players is usually enough though- with 4 players people usually get bored)
7612 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No problems
Does it? Yes and no. It is an amazing game. Jill is hot. The graphics are nice, the music is great and Nemesis is awesome. The only thing this game had going against it was the length felt a bit rushed. There's not quite as much substance here as in Resident Evil 1 and 2.
1010 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With the Nintendo 64 beginning to slowly...okay, quickly drop off the gaming radar, it's time for gamers who bought the last of the Big N's cartridge systems to see if their investment was a good one. Is there even a reason to keep this system around anymore? Is there one game to give you an excuse to say to Playstation2 and X-Box and Gamecube owners, "I know it's an old system, but this game is the reason I still own it"? Yes, and that game is called "Golden Eye 007".
Great gameplay
The main highlights of the game is the create a trak mode which allows you to create a track, the high replay value and the very interesting outdoor tracks.
8088 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was one of my favorite games for PSX. They need to bust out a new ps3 version!
3615 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great ;)
But the best part of the gameplay has to be what has rarely been seen in the US: the dating sim. The lead character Meis can actually take certain girls on dates, where the girls asks Meis questions and, depending upon the answer he selects, her intimacy toward him changes. And this isn't without a reason. A high intimacy level with a girl can let Meis forge stronger weapons with powerful spells, so the dating aspect of the game isn't only interesting, it's necessary. Of course, it's important to raise a girl's imtimacy level, but it's also fun to choose the wrong answers in the dating questions, just to see the girl's reactions. While not a full-fledged dating sim, it's still a lot of fun, and it's a pity this game didn't pave the way for dating sims like "Tokimeki Memorial" and "Sentimental Graffiti" to come to the US.
3232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already? It's breath-taking. Amazing. Life-like. Addictive. Mind-boggling. Fun, even if you HATE fighting games. This is the only fighting game I have EVER truly loved. You can't help but develope a bond with your favorite character. Mine is Sophitia. Beautiful, fluid, precise, deliberate. You just HAVE to see this beauty, in her 3rd outfit, doing her Kata in Exhibition Theatre! (After you've "unlocked" that feature, of course) I finished everything there was to finish in this game, 5 months ago. I STILL play it all the time. I'll actually dump my saves on my VMU, and start all over. There is no way you can go wrong buying this game. None. Like I said, even if you don't like fighting games. You'll be hooked in the short amount of time required to learn the basic moves. My son pleaded with me to give it a try, and I was hooked 15 minutes later.
Of all the functions it has, half of them don't even work. The function of basically making up new cheat codes based on gameplay regularly froze up games, and at worst, caused catastrophic damage to the Gameshark. I remember one instance I tried to create a new cheat code, and ended up filling up my entire Gameshark's memory with useless information. Almost none of the pre-set games and codes worked, names were screwed up with random characters and letters, and largely I had to just guess which code would do what for which game.
4005 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you need team-based with a blend of Unreal Tourney and the Sci-Fi Channel, here's a good title to work on. It's all multiplayer, so there's no single-player mode (besides the training missions). It's a hard game to explain, but I can say this: this game is fun and heck and lets you take any role, whether it be a repairman, heavy defence, or transport pilot. Buy this if your computer isn't so hot. If you do have a good computer with a GeForce2, get Tribes 2; it adds on to the first in almost every way and is a little more fun than this title. But get either one, Tribes is one of Sierra's best titles.
8961 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the reason I bought a Sega Genesis over a SNES. Blaze Fielding is hot in that little miniskirt! Yes, teenage boys are stupid.
But honestly...I just can't pinpoint anything major against this game, because the game seriously enthralled me from start to finish! The big and robust level design, superb soundtrack, detailed and colorful graphics, movie FMVs...It all makes for one great action-packed Banjo-style collect-a-thon, and I LOVE IT!! I'm so glad I finally pulled this out of my backlog, and I highly recommend Toy Story 2 to any gamer looking for a title of its kind!
This game isn't too bad playing by yourself - I've clocked in close to 30 hours alone, which is how I do most of my gaming. I've played with both of my younger cousins:
Back to the product. The game came within three weeks of my order at the same time as a few other items I had ordered from other sellers. I had ordered a used copy, but it worked perfectly on the first try, I didn't even have to blow on the cartridge or break out the quetips. It also looked great, like it had just come out of the box for the first time.
2892 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Got my copy from Gamer Girls Online. It came in original box. 3 fresh looking disc cover too. Great value an bargain. Some people sell the original copy for 75-100$ for this great deal. Thx again. Been playing it all day since it came in mail this morning.
I'm basing it on the year it came out. The levels,and battle graphics look stunning. With that said, though, the characters suffered and look pretty bland. That's the reason for the 1 point off. Not a major problem at all, though. Especially when you play this one for the gameplay, like all RPG's.
3583 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I guess I'm just a Sega fanboy underneath it all, I've always been loyal to Sega since the days of the Genesis, and I've owned the Sega CD, 32X (I want my money back on that), the Saturn, and the Dreamcast. Now recently I bought [another brand], and guess what, I still play my Dreamcast more... What killed the Dreamcast was that it was too ambitious for its own good. Online play made the system one of a kind... Now the Dreamcast wasn't a bad system at all. Like I said, the online play elevated the system to new levels, and the library of games (most of them were exclusive...) the system was trouble free and had one of the best designed controlers on the market. Shockingly original games...plus the best sports titles on any system made the Dreamcast one of the best systems ever made, and I for one will miss it...
Overall, the plotline of the game really hooked me the first time I played the game,
It's interesting to see how Nintendo has come full circle, evolving to something like the Nintendo 64 and in some ways digressing back to it's origins with games like New Super Mario Bros U, which is much like Super Mario Bros for SNES but with updated graphics and a few more tweaks.
The graphics are moderately good, they are not bad but not real good either. The sound is good, probably one of the best parts of the game.
Baldur's Gate is genuinely deserving of it's classic status and if the CRPG market rewards us with another game this immaculately entertaining, it will be a day for celebration.
3548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Dreamcast is by far my favorite. It has very fun games as you'll read in tons of other reviews. None of the newer consoles have met my expectations half as good as the Dreamcast did back in the Christmas of 99'. This is coming from a person who owns 19 consoles including the 360, Wii, Gamecube, PS2, etc. Those consoles have fun games, but coming after the Dreamcast, they are more like novelties to me. If you don't get a Dreamcast, you should at least get the ports of its games such as Sonic Adventure 2, Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue II, House of the Dead 2, and many more. I still buy games for my DC off of here. Most can be found in good condition.

5273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At the time this came out, 1st person shooters were very common. Quake, Quake II, Unreaql, all promising great action, great engines, etc....but then came Thief, sneaking into the market as stealthily as Garrett himself. For those that had the fortune of trying out this unmarketed little game got something they have never seen before...a 1st person action game that forced them to think.
gameplay: once again servicable but nothing revolutionary or even evolutionary. as a matter of fact, i think this game takes a step backwords instead of forwards. 5 had the job system. 2 had the unique leveling system. 6 had not only unique skills per character, but had awesome gameplay sequences such as the opera house, the stategic scens where you control 3 parties to more and block advancing troops, etc etc. what did 7 do? had cool summon animations that got old after the second view and could not be skipped....pass!!!!
457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From the cool first cutcene to the classic music that plays while picking a character, you know this is special.
However, I actually enjoy retro games. I actually just got done playing Another World and Fallout 1 & 2 on my laptop.
7913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game was somewhat easy to complete i didn't know that there were over 10 dragon coins in most levels.
This is, by far, the best video game on the planet....hell, in the universe.
2603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First I got a Gameboy. Then I got this. My mind was blown. I had no idea color existed. As soon as I turned on Pokemon Yellow and saw Pikachu. I looked around and saw a whole new world. One with color. I mean yes. I did notice color before in the real world. But I just called it life. Because of this I know that life is in color! But wait a minute? The Gameboy was in color too right? Green is a color. Grey is a color. Black is a color. I was so confused. What is the difference between this color and that color? This one does have a more wide of a variety of colors. But the old one still had a few colors so... this is the Gameboy with more Color.
5869 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Simple and reliable. Not sure why people call it a "charger". This does not magically turn your game boy into a battery charger. But if you want to cut down on your battery consumption than look no further. This provides power to your GB pockets and GB colors and does charge your battery packs.
The Presidents daughter is buck ugly!!! They could have brushed up on that aspect a little
4403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the ultimate version of Simcity. The newer version has more bells and whistles, but the game is essentially the same. Plus the new version is a memory/resource hog. In this version the urban renewal kit is the best part of the game. It's great to play together with kids (8 - 12) making it a good family game, also. If you like thought provoking, fun and educational games, this one is a winner!
692 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still fun in 2016. If you have a 64 and do not own this game what're you doing? Do you hate yourself? Stop reading and buy this now.
6866 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Hang Time was the newest incarnation of the very popular and ongoing NBA JAM series except now it went a little more high scale because it takes the NBA on NBC jingles, videos and of course the stills and visuals of the NBA on NBC TV programming.
2. The more characters you have, the more fun you have in the castle you earn in the game.
There are all sorts of twisted plot items that are clear indicators of the amount of work the designers put into thinking this through. You wake up with a note to yourself carved in your own back. You wander outside and find a note-zombie, with notes stuck to his body. Every doorway can be a portal to another world, if you find the key. But keys can be anything - a piece of paper, a certain person, even a song sung in a certain way.
Which is not to say Max Payne is a bad game. It does introduce a certain charm with a number of new innovations such as "bullet-time" and the nightmare sequences. Trouble is, about halfway through the adventure a serious feeling of "deja-Woo" sets in with the been-there killed-that repetition.
each race to help further there goals through single player, then once your got the basics down, jump on [...] and wreck some player face and earn some rating.
Turok Wage wars
Overall 9.5/10 great game, must buy for fps fans.
7278 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Glad to have this classic again!
Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort
While old-school gamers may prefer pre-defined roles for each character, the Materia system is still meritorious on its own, allowing uncomplicated customization of characters and adding great depth to gameplay. Character development proceeds well, with nearly every battle in the game having purpose (unlike some RPGs where hours are spent "leveling up" to get characters past an obstacle), and the in-game pointers help clarify locations whenever the lush graphics are unclear. The soundtrack is otherworldly, with several haunting, beautiful songs that are simply unforgettable.
2423 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pure Nostalgia of the best kind.
432 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Breath of Fire III is one of those games that can induce a trance of nostalgia upon thought. I can say this about few games because most are powered by processors that reflect obsession with graphics and innovation. Innovation is necessary, and appreciated, but games like BOF3 need never disappear. It caters to the old-time gamer in all RPG veterens, delivering a simplistic save the world storyline and involving gameplay. And what gameplay! It's simplicity and charm will, hopefully, impress those who give it a chance because it is very deserving of credit. Last, I must mention the fishing system. It's incredibly addictive, simple, and enjoyable. Nothing else could more easily describe it. Throw in about another hundred fish and a wider variety of rods and bait, and you'd have a full game that I would have to own! It's that good. For everyone: whether an RPG-newbie or a hardcore veteren, you should give this game a chance. Fun doesn't begin to describe it.
3752 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sonic Adventure
Different Agents
Most pre-1997 console RPGs and adventure games' prevalent themes were along the lines of "power of hope, love and friendship", "absolute power corrupts", "elemental" crystals, mystical jewels, and/or mana seeds are best left alone", with the occasional, "hey, don't trust Christianity." Most of these games took place in medieval storybook lands inhabited by elves, knights, fairies, dragons, princesses, and talking trees, and their stories were usually about a small band of misfits defeating an evil wizard or king so the world could live happily ever after and abolish all wars forever. Then we get to the PlayStation era. Final Fantasy VII might not quite be that generation's "Great Gatsby", but it captures turn-of-the-century Zeitgeist like no previous game could and which few games have been able to surpass.
6315 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've role-played since the 70s, and have probably played every RP game that's come out since that date, including recent reviews for BellaOnline.com. My first assumption was that Planescape would be a knock-off of Baldur's Gate, and be fun but not unique.
1. Going to 'instant action' from the main game menu, I am presented with a CTD (Crash To Desktop), which means the game crashes, and your back at your desktop.
Altogether, I think that this is a game for anyone into the Volkswagen Beetle, racing games, or multiplayer. It combines the best interests of all elements of the racing game.
Gameplay: It's strange to revisit an old gameplay system since it's familiar enough to know what to do but it's been so long and you've played several different types that it feels...alien, no pun intended. Essentially, controlling Joanna dark's movement and vision is the Analog stick and the C-Up and C-Down, while the other 2 are for strafing or more correct turning. It took some getting used to since I've had to use dual analog for a long time and eventually I got around to it but it still felt odd. Missions are broken up like Goldeneye with several objectives before you can finish the level and in a neat feature, the objective can be different on different difficulty settings. One mission might require you just to do one or 2 things while on Hard, you'll have to do some extra stuff to pass.
Although the amount of interactivity is less with the bombers in Janes Attack Squadron so is the level of overhead.
I haven't encountered any blood in the game yet, but, as far as I'm concerned, blood is overrated because the color red is just that- a color. It means nothing to the actual gameplay.
9-The sky chase(88%)A new style of gameplay is introduced in this stage, controlling Sonic and the tornado at the same time!
Awesome graphics.
The voice acting is fantastic. The characters end up being well developed, and like I said before, they make you care about them. The voice actors really made their characters come to life. The unit sounds are also very well done, and are fairly distinct.
6541 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've played the top 3 online multiplayer games (top 3 in popularity based on online subscriptions): Ultima Online, Everquest and Asheron's Call. Let me tell you that I have enjoyed this title (AC) more than the other two combined.
6763 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game SHOULD be a classic. It was wrote and released rather late in the Genesis' life, and if I recall it's a port from a PC game. (Or is the PC a port from th..oh nevermind.) This is an inneractive comic book alright. For it's time it has a nice story line, and if graphics are your thing they're good too. Fight your way through an evil comic book and escape using kung fu and your electrically-charged rat named Road Kill!!
5865 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're new to this game then you should know it's a combination of Tomb Raider and a flight simulator game. The flight portion is aboard a beautifully constructed dragon. You almost expect Sean Connery's accented voice. What you get is some pretty decent voicework.
2623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best gme player from the past but still a great system of Nintendo ever made. I love it.
I wasn't dissapointed.
The system requirements are unusually high, and even on a powerful system, it is very difficult to run it smoothly. Still, a great game.
What makes Final Fantasy VIII unique is that it shows Squaresoft, while still keeping the series at its basic roots, is unafraid to tinker a little with its formula. First of all, the storyline is quite a bit different from earlier Final Fantasies. It centers mostly on character development and keeps the basic good-versus-evil plot (while still an integral part of the game) more in the background than in previous titles. The game also has a much more grown up/mature feel than earlier games because of its more adult storyline and the discarding of the super-deformed characters of previous titles. Once again, the new direction Square takes with the series works quite well.
Even without the mod this game is slamming!!!.
4326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent!
With a wardrobe full of style and more substance than you can shake an Entropic Blade at, Planescape: Torment is a classic that transcends the borders of gameplay and becomes a masterclass in storytelling.
Music and Sound 10/10: No complaints in the music and sound department! It pretty much captures the mood, be it suspenseful, hopeful, dramatic, or even rewarding. The character voices are also well done, awesomely portraying the character personalities as well. I can't describe any of this justly, though; you'll have to listen for yourself!
- Hundreds of missions and training exercise to perform
7496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this as a birthday present for my sister who is a huge fan of the character Yoshi I even bought her a Yoshi plush later on from a Japanese store at the Brea Mall. She cried with tears of joy. Yoshi is really important to her life. Now I know if I get her anything too do with that series she will like. She used her plush to be her car buddy. She doesn't have a lot of time to play video games but she was happy too get this game so I don't think it was a waste.
There are few characters, and interaction is limited. There is a selection of journals in a library which provide interesting reading and histories of the various islands.
+ familiar characters, nice music (especially in level 5), cartoony graphics, mini-games
5032 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While "Resident Evil" was widely popular as a survival horror series, Konami decided to take advantage of this genre and along came "Silent Hill." You played the role of Harry Mason, who was going to take a vacation in the remote town of Silent Hill with his adopted daughter Cheryl, whom he found on the side of the road and no one had knowledge of her. Once entering the town, he loses Cheryl and yearns to find her... only to find the town is covered in fog and strange things are afoot. An extremely enthralling and creepy game... read on if you dare:
+ one of the best 2d graphics ever, everything is crisp and detailed with great anime sequence
Also, upgrading your weapons does not increase battle power, it merely changes your limit breaks. I wasn't sure whether I liked this or not, but at least Squall's Lion Heart weapon had a groovy lightsaber glow.
1824 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a classic game that I come back to every now and again. The graphics are great and the content is really satisfying. But I do have a complaint of the actual difficulty of the game.
-Level differences
2140 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was as pictured and functional. No complaints
One thing that really bugged me was that in some parts it was just too hard, and you could walk around for hours and not figure out what you were supposed to do. But other than that it was great. You can actually play arcade games inside this game, and there is even a place where you can shoot some hoops! There is a big mix inside this, you can drive a motorcycle, a chocobo :}, and some hover crafts. This game is really fun, and has I think about 50 hours of gameplay on three different discs, so go out and get yours today!
The online play is vastly improved from the first. With a dsl connection it is virtually indistinguishable from the solo version, and fun.
8826 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This has to be one of the most recognizable games of all time. The Genesis port is pretty faithful to the arcade, though of course the graphics aren't as good and the music is a bit tinny. Still, this is possibly one of my favorite games of all time. Choose from warrior, warrior maiden, or axe-wielding dwarf. The dwarf kicks ASS, though he could use some kind of armor or something. What's with the green pajamas? No wonder he's so pissed.
The often corny metaphors that the developers came up with. How many bad 40's detective movies did they have to watch to come up with those stinkers?
Pokemon green is almost impossible for me to play:(. A bommer for me:(. But with practice I and many others will get used of it. If you want to name you character a name(Which by the way you have to). Get the alphabet of red and blue from the internet and copy the Japanese letters as the English letters. Make sure you don't make a mistake:). Same thing with naming your rival and if you want to nickname your pokemon.(You don't have to):).
I think Rare thought their game was weak themselves, that must be why they added this mediocre 3rd person shooter multiplayer, isn't it? They didn't think they did a good job on the shooter part did they?
- Tomb Raider 2
Graphically, this is nothin to get too excited about. The typical top-scrolling view you expect from old-school RPGs is here. As said before, there are no cinematics, so anyone expecting FFX material are lout of luck. Being someone who loves old-school RPGs, this is a pro rather than a con. The music is nice and atmospheric, and blends in nicely with the game.
1. Because of all of the team action, each individual lost something move wise. I am talking about things like Knuckles' gliding and climbing abilities as well as Sonic's somersaulting. Big no longer fishes like he did in Sonic Adventure, and the flight characters (Tails, Cream, Charmy, and Rouge) cannot fly as long or fast as they originally could. Which sadly makes sense, seeing as those little things are carrying all of the weight of the rest of their teams. Their cool team moves make up for most of the lost abilities, but you still have to miss Knuckles' climbing skills in those tight situations.
I really have nothing bad to say about the game.
One of the neat things about this game is all of the voice acting. It's such a nice touch and really adds a lot to the game. The female voices can seem rather whiny and too high pitched (which could be said of the males at times too), but other than that, it's quite good. Also, there is a lot of pop culture references and innuendo going on that make you laugh. That may be the best thing about the game. The story is fun. The game is fun. You have fun playing the game.
9259 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fast shipping arrived in great condition just as described. Great classic game to add to my collection. Highly recommended. Thanks! A+ reminds me a little of secret of mana but without as good of a story, and the two games are totally unrelated.
3036 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What other video game has had a review put in quotes on the back saying "Quite possibly the greatest game ever made"?
8607 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The other day I was driving down the street and I swerved to miss a banana peel. Thank you Mario Cart! Old joke, good game. The third best selling Super Nintendo game of all time. This game rocks and rocks hard. It starts off easy in the 50 cc derby, and gets harder from there. And since it's Mario, it's more than just racing. We got stars, coins, mushrooms, turtle shells red and green, and of course lightning! And then if you got board racing, grab a buddy (and hopefully a feather every now and then!) and beat each other senseless in battle mode. Man, I kind of want to go play it right now.
Watch Out for Lakitu
349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought 2 sets of this product (so 4 cables total). I was not disappointed. They all work perfectly and they accomplished what I bought them for. I have 2 big screen TV's and the 2 rooms I use for these have couches that sit back a lot further than the standard gamecube controller cord would reach. Hook 1 of these extensions up to each controller and problem solved. I also like the length because I still had room to go back farther but this allowed each cord to rest on the ground so there is less of a tripping hazard for those people that never fail to walk in front of everyone and don't pay attention to the cords. They even work for Bongos so that is a nice feature to be able to move the bongos back as well for those games.
Admitted: There are a few funny features in the game, the cow-shooting gun, Mr. Hanky the christmas Poo but even these things gets quite boring after a very short while.
multible endings
2000 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As with the first there is no save option but it is still fun to see how far you get in this game. Its nice and challenging its just a drag there is no continue or save option here. You can get extra lives though. Like most games it gets easier the more you play it. The graphics are superb and the music is very good too. I just recommend you get the first Star Fox cause that game is longer. You should still get this though.
being simple to master, and those important staples introduced, getting around is not very difficult at all, and the dungeon locations

5460 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the best PS1 games I've ever played.
8649 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this on the sonic mega collection and I must say this game is fun and challenging I actually defeated Dr. Robotnik and his robots after I understood the rules of the game which at times left me baffled.
That said, it could have been a lot better. The initial release was bugged to blue blazes, and despite a patch, it still feels shaky. The AI makes lots of odd mistakes, your soldiers are unusually flimsy (particularly on uneven ground, where they tend to trip and fall and die), and the enemy soldiers are unfeasibly hyper-accurate from a map-length away. Furthermore, a couple of the 'end-of-episode' missions are ferociously, unfairly tough, and you'll probably cheat out of frustration.
4178 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Since my machine is not up to StarCraft II's specs, I thought I'd try the original to see how it works until I can upgrade my system. I am very glad I did, as StarCraft is an excellent and very addictive game.
8090 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the game works on ps1,ps2,ps3 and playstation emulators with no issues

You are required to solve many puzzles in order to advance in the game, some of which are morbid poems you must analyze to extract the riddle of opening a locked door, or to receive a vital item.
4447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't sToP pLAYinG.!!! I rediscovered this game after running into a mod site (got google? Keyword mantera gs5 impz xorgate lomse) and downloaded the mod and more importantly MODIFICATION TOOLS that allows access to the game's engine to edit spells units artifacts and other aspects of the game's engine.
Grab your DC today...! Gamer247 is OUT! GAME ON!
5585 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great series
- Anyway the game is fantastic, a perfect supplement to Super Mario 64. In some ways it's actually better. When I was a kid I used ALL the cheats, to just have fun and explore. I played it enough times to 100% the game in two hours. And then when GameFAQs started to be a thing, I used the lesser-known cheats to get the ice key and the secret eggs. For those who like those old days of collecting stuff, this is the game to get.
If or when you get bored with Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing, I suggest getting this game!!
4047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The product was exactly as shown and described, good price and timely delivery. The whole purchase went smoothly and I enjoyed playing it and remembering the good old days with pc gaming
8972 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The platforming can certainly get annoying at times but overall, Donkey Kong Country is one of those classic games that you simply must play if you call yourself a gamer.
All that being said, what does this dispute between "Is it a Mario game or not?" the game, besides my own personal justification for not playing the game for so many years? What does this distinction have to do with the actual gameplay itself? Well, quite a lot actually. Just like "Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land" where you play as Wario, you do not control Mario. Instead, (with only very brief exceptions) you control Yoshi. Exclusively.
Play Options: Sure, GoldenEye has Capture the Flag, and a few other little games, but PD brought in more games, better options, and just overall a lot more fun.
1536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best intro in any genre I EVER SEEN. Besides that,I don't like Tekken,but love this series by Namco. I own all the "blade" fighting games of this type minus the Dreamcast exclusive,Soul Calibur 1.
was able to clear it once again. I love this game and the classic survival horror
6018 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ahh, Diablo. Once again, Blizzard Software has proven their ability to make a game that absolutely engrosses the user and raises the bar for other developers out there. Diablo I spawned a slew of clones following the success of it's action/RPG hybrid, but the only game that could really dethrone Diablo was, you guessed it... Diablo II.
Rayman adventures through many magical relams, which include Band Land, Blue Mountains, Picture City, Dream Forest, The Caves of Skops and finally, Candy Chateau. These worlds have their own quirky enimies and backrounds according to their themes, and have many passages a creatures to save hidden somewhere in them.
5785 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy VIII, in my opinion, has always been underrated. A lot of people don't like it because of the Junction system, others because of the characters or story, but I think it's one of the better FF's Squaresoft has made.
This game puts you on a bumpy and fun ride. Buy and enjoy. BTW, Soul Bringer (the game this one is hooked to on a Duel Jewel) really bites in comparison.
the second boss with some hassle, but I was too close to the boss itself. The controls do take some time to get used to, but they are not actually
8270 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hands down, the best side scrolling shooter ever. I still play this on my PS2. You know a game is a classic when no stores can get it and people are selling it used for $....
There is nothing new in the game. It is simply an ordinary shoot 'em up including the characters from South Park.
There isn't really much to choose between this and 'Quake 3' - 'Tournament' is more varied, with five different game types ('Domination', which is vaguely similar to the video game from 'Never Say Never Again', is a particularly good one), but the weapon types seem weedier than those in 'Quake 3', and the latter game has more of a following.
9985 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 X-Men is a fun game... on ameatur difficulty level. When I cranked it up to Hero (since you can't get any farther than the third level on ameatur), I found it almost impossible to do anything. I got tired of playing the levels all over again, fighting the same, almost randomly apearing enemies coming from doors at any moment and surrounding me. Although the game may have captured the feel of the X-Men, I didn't think they did a good job with the actual game aspect, which is probably the most important thing. If you want to play a good Marvel game, try Marvel Super-heroes: war of the Gems. It is much more balanced and fun than Sega's attempt at making an X-men game.
there is a great storyline.
I recommend this game to people who like the other cross over games like X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. This version is the best because its arcade perfect and its to pick up and play when you feel like fighting your heroes.
Replayability: 2/5
6957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best n64 shooting game ever
As with all Rare N64 games, there's a lot of replay value to be had with Perfect Dark. There are higher difficulties with additional objectives, (seemingly) smarter AI, and less available ammunition. I'm not sure if like this game enough to see it all the way through on Perfect Agent, but I'd certainly attest to its 5-star quality. Recommended to anyone who collects these sorts of older games.
6585 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 1. The game freezes up after you beat the final boss. Because of this, I can't get the ending or to create a system file.
I don't really like to compare Torment to other RPG's. It is difficult since it uses and entire different world and a very different gallery of persons.
When we first played it, it was hard. The controls were hard and there were too many moves to remember. But once you get around the learning curve, which only took a day or 2, the game is a great ride.
In my opinion, my game is worth playing because you get to do cool stuff and cool things to monsters.
Twisted Metal (2012 for PS3)=Didnt play this one but heard it was good
So how about the other three Silent Hill games? Well, I Silent Hill 2 was a fantastic game that I highly recommend (it doesn't tie in to the first installment's plot). I've played through 98% of Silent Hill 3 (which is a sequel to Silent Hill 1, so try to play 1 before 3) and it's good, but dissapointing compared to the first two. Silent Hill 4, I've only played a tiny amount of as a rental, but the opening movie was quite frightening.
8133 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There's probably a strategy game for every type of gamer, and as gaming guide for BellaOnline, I've seen quite a few. Dark Reign 2 is gorgeous, and is for the thinking strategist.
You must carefully manage trade too.. it is KEY to the financial success of every city. You have a number of choices of goods, production, and trade partners, so choose carefully.. :)

9015 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 "With the 16 bit games fading out, and the nintendo having the best in the way of 32bit graphics out,back in the day DKC was and is another one of my favorite games. Looks great for the time period, i love the whole franchise and look forward to the new Wii version.:)"
If anyone still has a SNES and haven't played this game and still buys games for it then buy this game it's a must have.
Video review here:[...]
6183 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Glitchy, bugy, chock full of errors, and lacking in originalty at points.
I had finished the game again a few weeks ago and just like the first time I played it, the second time still gave me all the thrills and shrieks from the first time.
6885 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like puzzle games similar to Tetris, then Dr. Mario is right up your alley.
The sound effects are also pretty cool, although you'd hear smacks and punches most of the time. And sometimes, you might not understand what the voice is saying when you collect a riddle (We could blame Genesis hardware for that, maybe).
If you've ever played Warcraft, Starcraft, or Command & Conquer, (RTS's) and Doom or Half-Life (first person shooters) you'll get a feeling for this game as it combines base building with first person shooter. But the big difference is that with each of the 3 factions in this game, the strategies and tactics required are TOTALLY unique. None are like the other two, and yet they are very well balanced and a blast to play.
417 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS GAME WAS GREAT. THOUGH IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO ITS ORIGINAL ARCADE MACHINE, THIS HOME VERSION IS NICE ANYWAY. THE FIGHTS ARE ALL FUN, THE GRAPHICS STILL LOOK FANTASTIC EVEN THOUGH THIS GAME IS NEARLY A DECADE OLD NOW, AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL GOOD AND THE STORYLINES ARE ALL INTERESTING. TO UNLOCK THE BOSSES [WHICH IS THE MAIN THING], YOU HAVE TO BEAT THEM ALL WITH THEIR ALREADY AVAILABLE COUNTERPARTS. THE FIRST TIME YOU BEAT HEIHACHI [WHICH IS THE MAIN BOSS FOR THIS GAME], YOU GET HIM UNLOCKED. BUT THE REST OF THEM, YOU HAVE TO PLAY AS THE COUNTERPARTS TO GET THEIR BOSSES. EVEN WITH THE PLAYSTATION 2 AND X BOX AND STATE OF THE ART SYSTEMS LIKE THAT ON THE MARKET, MANY OF THE GAMES THEY PUT OUT TODAY CAN'T COMPARE TO CLASSIC GAMES LIKE THIS! THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATEST FIGHTING GAMES EVER AND I DARE SAY THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST OF THE TEKKEN SERIES. EVEN HAS GREAT MUSIC.
UPDATE: Talked to someone from Activision. He was kinda floored that there were still faulty copies out there:o) Guess it's been awhile since it was out. Anyway, they replaced it as promised. But, the games really [stinks]!!! Don't bother. It's been a while since I even had my Dreamcast hooked up, so I don't remember what it was that I didn't like about the game. But, I do remember that I knew this was a really bad game in about ten minutes of playing it. Wasn't even worth my time getting it replaced.
5064 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Overall, this game is the creepiest videog ame I have ever played. The environments, enimies, and gameplay are designed to keep the player interested and a little on the edge. THe only true problem with this title is that it offers nothing new, and relies very much on the style of playing created by Resident Evil. Not that this style is bad, but within Silent Hill the gameplay just didn't feel quite as great as it did with Resident Evil, and at times I got a little bored with the wandering around the level that must be done from time to time. Despite these few complaints this is an excellant title that fans of the "survival horror" genre should enjoy/
9455 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a huge fan of the Turok series on N64. They are fun, bloody adventures with some truly inventive weaponry. The first game, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, was great with cool weapons (loved the Alien Gun) and gory gameplay. The second game, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, topped the first in every way and is still the pinnacle of the series. The third game, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, was good but kind of a letdown after the masterpiece that was Seeds of Evil. It's a great trilogy of games that lacks one thing: quality multiplayer. Yeah, I know, Seeds of Evil has multiplayer but it's half-assed and feels tacked on. I wanted a solid multiplayer game where I could play against my friends and kill them with the wild weapons from the games. Then along comes Turok: Rage Wars, a ridiculously fun game that gives us pure multiplayer carnage with even more over-the-top weapons.
3938 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Don't be fooled by the silly premise of this game. This is arguably one of the best turn-based strategy games around. With loads of options and weapons and randomly generated maps, this game has near-infinite replay value. The multiplayer is perhaps the best part. It is always more fun to play live opponents in this type of game. An added bonus is that this game will play well even on low end systems. If you are a fan of this type of game, and have not played it, you just cannot go wrong with Worms Armageddon.
The game was 100% working and my friend beat the game the night he got it!
The gameplay is equally great. I especially liked how you can hold three items at a time rather than just one, which is especially helpful in the game's dungeons which often require you to use several different weapons/items. Speaking of which, the dungeons have some of the most clever puzzles and interesting layouts of any game I had ever played. And I really liked how once you completed all the puzzles in a dungeon, you opened a new path from its starting point straight to the final boss, rather than simply having to run through the entire dungeon all over again after death the way you did in previous Zeldas (this was especially annoying in A Link To The Past, where the dungeons were much longer and more challenging than in the original Legend of Zelda). And of course, the game's graphics are among the N64's best (not necessarely because of how detailed/realistic they are, but how carefully crafted and full of life they are), and the soundtrack is among the best ever to grace a video game (even with the Star Fox 64-quality midi samples).
This version is basically the archetype of R/B/Y, following the same storyline, which (briefly) goes as the following: You're a young Pokemon trainer, working your way to become the "best that no one ever was." You travel through the Kanto region with your Pokemon pals, and train them to be the strongest they can be! With rivals and wild Pokemon, the journey will be a daunting and perilous one!
If you have a DC go out and get this game. It rocks!
9235 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I just bought this a few days ago because it was on sale at a local store.
Let me take you back to video game arcades in the 1980's. Namco developed a little game called "Pac-Man" that featured a 6/8 yellow circle that had an insatiable appetite for dots that may or may not have a specific flavor. Unfortunately there were four ghosts who weren't too happy about this Pac-Man eating all these dots so they would try their hardest to stop Pac-Man at all costs. However some of those dots, seemingly grown using some type of growth enhancer, endowed Pac-Man with an unusual power to totally eat the ghosts! Every now and then, someone would throw some fruit or a random food onto the play field for Pac-Man to devour, providing him with the ability to expand his palette a little.
And they didn't stop there. They took the time to make the sound and music great. But they didn't stop there either. It's the graphics which are the cherry on top. It is simply BEAUTIFUL! I've only played this game on my Voodoo 3 graphics card, so I don't know what it looks like without a good graphics card, but you still won't be disappointed. Homeworld is a great game and easily deserves all the awards it received.
Dependability / Durability: To be determined.
9760 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I started with GT3. It took a while to get used to the handling (6 hrs of lic test). The handling gets better with different cars. To get better handling & traction for tighter turns get racing tires. I love GT3 so I picked up GT3 just know. Great. Great. Great. More cars. More tracks. It's the only PS1 game thats worthy enough to get some play on my PS2. That speaks volumes all in it's self..
- No 3D glasses come in the package, but that's okay since this predates 3D in the general population of Video Games

This is still another must have for a Game Boy collector despite the short length.
Some of the highpoints of the game:
1607 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If Capcom was given an award for how it impacted video game history, you would find them getting one for more than one series. (Mega Man anyone?) And this series would be at the top of the list. Survival horror was shot to the forefront because of this amazing game.
The graphics are obviously outdated but suprisingly I prefer it to the 3D rendering of todays RPG's. It is based on photo-realism 2d art (think Mortal Kombat 1) that used to be utilised back in the mid 90's. There is an advantage to this... it feels so much more realistic. Just take a look at some of the death animations... gruesome...
2513 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of the best games ever. has all 8 worlds as well as other side games to play. luigi vs boo, find Yoshi, toad fortunes, etc. if you have a Gameboy color printer, you can print the Mario symbols in black and white. I love this game.
I say all this in an effort to convince non-AD&D people or non-RPG players out there to give Baldur's Gate a chance. Yes, AD&D rules are numerous and complicated (I have no idea, for instance, what 6D+4 means), but don't worry too much because the computer takes care of all this for you. Essentially, you'll encounter enemies, you'll push your spacebar (to pause the action) and point and click, directing your party members how and whom to attack. The computer calculates all the die-rolling stuff. You just sit back and watch the blood fly. This is not to say, however, that BG is a brainless game. In fact, you'll learn quickly that "Fools Rush In" if you don't think about battle strategy. Put simply, Baldur's Gate achieves a perfect balance: it both satisfies hardcore D&D folk who have long clamored for an accurate PC RPG experience while also not scaring away newbies.
Lasting Appeal:
First off, this game is huge. You have to play through this game twice to get the entire experience and real ending to this game. It has a second quest, much like the old school Ghosts and Goblins, if you can remember that game... but with its own unique invereted way.
1311 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Looks and works perfect. But cartridge has a rattle.
6176 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 gooooooooold
7267 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of Batman's best games out there, and for fans, can't be missed. Graphics are nice, the music is decent, and the story does the cartoon justice. It's too bad the gameplay is only average; it gets old kind of fast and could have used improvement.
Presentation- This game captures what it is to be James Bond. There are a great deal of weapons, cool menus, and music that still rocks to this day. All around a great feeling game the blood rolling down the screen after you die is epic. 5/5
OVERALL:
9293 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works like new, great game!
their pants, you'll love this game.
9143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hey fellow-gamers, I have nothing but praise for THIS game... It was a little awkward getting used to the controls, but only because I wasn't used to slow motion shooting. The game itself is a riot to play! I for one, am delighted with it. I'm very impatient so I like action games where I can jump right in and start shooting. Max Payne is a great game for FPS and I'm starting all over again, playing the game. I highly recommend it to gamers who love shooting things up... Have a blast! You'll feel your money was well worth it!
2) Very innovative- The battle system is a mixture of good old fashioned spell menus and item lists and fast-paced roughhousing with button combinations; it's like mixing "Final Fantasy" with "Street Fighter."
9668 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great, plays great, saves great and is a easy fun game. was shipped on time and came in like new condition. It works 100% of the time for me, one of the few that does.
Story:
3751 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the game that started it all for the Dreamcast. Sonic got a new look and a whole new level of appreciation. To bad after Sonic Adventure 2 things started to turn sour as he got ported to other Systems.
The playable characters are your basic eight: Mario (balance), Luigi (balanced), Princess Peach (lightweight), Toad (lightweight), Yoshi (advanced), Donkey Kong (heavyweight), Wario (heavyweight) and Bowser (the heavi"est"weight).
Try to get the original trilogy and well just get it, if you don't like it give it to me :-P see ya.
Characters:
- Interface is cluttered, buttons rearrange themselves based on the order that you built things, and it's a nightmare finding the right keys to press during the heat of battle. In many games, the only deciding factor of whether you'll win or lose is if you find the right keys fast enough
9165 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Lots and LOTS of random battles, dumb characters, dumb gameplay, graphics that would look bad on the SNES (except for the constant battles). I played this when there were no other RPGs on the Playstation and I had the flu. With so many great RPGs out now, there is no reason for this game. Actually, there was no reason for it in the first place. I'm an RPG nut, but this one is just plain bad.
5537 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love ghost stories, especially those with a mystery. This game did not disappoint me in that area. The graphics are good, the story somewhat perplexing. I would've liked to know more about Brice. Margaret and Edwin's stories were tragic, but Brice's was downright creepy. The two heartstopping (the knife bobbing in the air and the spirit flying up the stairs) episodes involved him. The techno stuff, I found pretty interesting, too. Let's have a sequel, please?
6201 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good condition
Con
3. The graphics are so awesome
2886 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I never got the chance to play this growing up. I finally went out to buy it to see what all the hype was about, and it took me back to memory lane. I love the soundtrack, and love the overall interactive design. The interaction factor can keep you engaged. The story was always weird to me, and felt like patchwork, but now that I am older and wiser, I can make sense out of it now. After playing through this recently, I can saw that for its time, it may have been seen as the greatest ever, but I have a few grips I don't like about it. Yet, still it is good game! I played Crisis Core first, so next will be Dirge of Cerebus. To any fan or newcomer to Final Fantasy, such as myself, I highly recommend this game, but you will have to set aside alot of time to get the most out of it.

6721 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games ever created for this franchise. The animations are smooth, the game play is exceptionally good, and there is a fantastic character roster and level design. There is a good balance of easy and hard stages.
The fact that you can guide other privates into battle (not to mention boss them around) is a nice addittion although the AI dissapoints a bit.
There are many instances of dark humour (you can attack zombies with their own body parts)and pleasant surprises I don't want to spoil as well (including funny but gross little scenes and interesting variations on the creatures (specifically in the zombie town)). The opening title film is also great (although it unfortunately often just plays the music while you stare at a black screen -- just start the game enough times and you'll see it). Playing this game is better than watching the X-Files (and it is much more gory and "adult").
It's pretty good compaired to some games, but most games have much smoother control. But since this is one of the first N64 games, I'm going to give it a good rating considering there are no PS2s, GCs, or Xboxs.
5050 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is really really really good. You will love it. You don't like gore? Turn the gore level off. Simple as that. This is as good as Tournament deathmatch games get. I'm telling you, its that fun. You can download many great mods for it also! If your friends own it, give em a call! Its fun to play in games with your friends. This game features a story mode like setting, where you are a character in a Tournament. You know etc etc. Theres a training function that pits you against bots. Very good for boosting up your abilities and making you better. And of course, online play. Don't think, just buy!
Wait, there's still more to combat. Apart from the variety of moves and effects Link can muster with his impressive array of items, there is also horseback combat. You can ride around on Epona, a fierce, wild, mare who only listens to you, and shoot things with your bow and arrow. There are also mini games centered around the fun and challenging horseback combat.
Tournament mode is the big one - you start with a variety of Nintendo characters to choose from and one course to play on. Completing rounds earns you experience points, which are used to unlock other courses and characters. You also get trophies for finishing in the top three and Birdie Badges for getting a birdie (or better) on a hole. As with similar games, your goal is to unlock all courses and characters and collect all the badges.
8416 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Did you ever watch, say, FRIDAY THE 13th and wish that somebody had packed a MAC-10 in with their camping equipment? Or that Laurie Strode had a Mossberg 12 gauge handy when Michael Myers knocked on her door in HALLOWEEN? Did you ever think to yourself what you could do to Leatherface with a rocket launcher? ("Isn't that just like a cannibal; brings a chansaw to a bazooka fight") Did you ever wonder how you would behave if your survival was on the line and say, oh, flesh-eating zombies or irradiated mutant beasts were looking to chow down on you? Well, thanks to the sheer genius of RESIDENT EVIL 2, you no longer have to wish and wonder what it would be like to live out a horror movie. You're stuck right in the middle of one.
Sorry if this review is just as jumbled as the game itself. Watching the game world twist and spin in sickening ways scrambled my poor brain. The results?
4243 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This has always been a great game i got a copy in early 1999... and loved it. the brood war expansion pack just adds to is worth... the fact that this futuristic RTS game is in a rather cheap bundle only improves a great game from a great company.
3896 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I don't really have much to say about this controller, except that it's got some cool buttons. But it looks awkward. It seems like you could break it on accident if you pull it sideways.
RATINGS (1-5) Graphics: 5- truly remarkable. You can even see Snake's breath when it's cold in a certain area! Sound: 5- all the sounds are in there, and the noise you make also affects whether you get caught or not. Control: 5- superb. Snake handles like a well-oiled... something. Some innovative ways to use both controller ports by Konami, as well.. (wait 'til you fight Psycho Mantis; you'll find out.) Funocity: 5- DID YOU EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE?!?
5126 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Have you heard enough about which one is better, Quake III or UT? I know I have. So what do you get, out of the box, when you invest in UT? Its a winner, I tell you that right away. Lets see ... 10 cool weapons, each with two attack modes to keep it all a tad more interesting than just point and shoot. You may actually end up developing something resembling a personal style with these. Especially interesting is the Translocator, which in addition to being a nice transportation device allows you to beam yourself right into your opponents carcasseseffectively ripping them asunder, of course. Clean me up Scotty!
Graphically, this game looks pretty ragged on a widescreen computer at its original resolution, but this doesn't matter because there is an easy to use mod that allows you to play it in widescreen. Using the mod, it looks fantastic in widescreen. The artwork for the levels is quite detailed and lovely--it made me long for the days of 2d graphics to be honest. I found full on widescreen at 1280 x 800 to be too zoomed out, so I made a custom resolution for 960 x 600 and found that to be just about right. In fact, there are a number of good mods that people generally recommend you get for the game which you can find using google. Most of these simply fix bugs and things of that nature rather than adding entirely new material.
789 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game. Although the graphics aren't the best since it's N64 and earlier on.... I enjoy everything about it (still keeping in mind the limitations of the time such as the 'invisible walls' and oddly prism shaped bottles etc). The story is well done and unlike other Zelda games, all of the items are used. There were some early on copies with a song/chanting in the fire temple that got taken out in later copies because some people got offended by that and the mirror shield (I have one such copy) but even with that in mind, it's still an amazing game with great music and it sort of ties all of the zelda games together like a central hub. It all comes down to this game.... definitely worth your time to play.
I was raised on a steady diet of Mortal Kombat and nothing really prepared me for how hard this game was.
The only bad thing about the DC are a few 2nd gen games such as Test Drive 6 and Rainbow Six which hold the system back somewhat. And, needless to be said, it cannot playback your Citizen Kane DVD.
Fifth, character classes have no maximum stats. This SEVERELY WEAKENS the distinctions between the character classes, and for those hackers out there, it makes it impossible to have a "maxed-out" character.
For those who don't know Crash Bandicoot first came out in the 90's as a standard, straight-forward platformer. You're a mutated Bandicoot named Crash who escapes from the evil mad scientist Dr. Neo Cortex and must go back to save your girlfriend. In Warped Dr. Cortex now works for Uka Uka (The brother of Aku Aku) an evil mask that wants to destroy crash and take over the world. He instructs Cortex to go through time and collect Crystals and Gems that hold extreme power. Crash has to literally race through time and jump, spin, and dance his way through time to retrieve them before Cortex gets ahold of them.
I've played a lot of Playstation games since then, but none has matched the level of intensity and sheer horror of Silent Hill. This game earned the five star rating that I gave it. I only hope this review will convey just how good it is.
The story is what made me come back to this game so many times that I've memorized the whole game. It starts out with this elite group of highly trained soldiers called SeeDs from a cadet called Garden. The main character, Squall, has just passed his SeeD exam and is preparing for his first mission. He meets with a young woman named Rinoa, who is fighting for her state's independence. Through many twists in the story, they end up in a quest to destroy a sorceress from the future who threatens to compress all time to dominate the universe.
5681 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 To start this off let me say I seem to be one of the few that enjoy this version as well as the others because it seems that if you like 7 you can't like 8 or the other way around. I enjoyed 7 a lot when I was a kid and still do today and it is the same with this one. The graphics are a great improvment from 7 to 8 and anyone can see that. The story is good at times and slow at others and at times feels slow when your playing it but that happens with all games. It still was good enough to keep me intrested. The junctioning system was different and I didn't mind it but it had problems. It was easy to figure out what magic to junction to make my health maxed out and when I got it maxed out I found myself not useing magic through the entire game so it wouldn't bring down my stats. So if always felt like it was missing something since I never used magic through the entire game so this bothered me but not too much. The other thing I had a problem with was the world in wich the game takes place felt empty. Most final fantasy games have a lot of areas to explore and visit and this one had a lot of empty space. It didn't effect the storyline but I like to do side quest so it felt like thay coud have added to it.
The online is great too. This is one of Quakes finest for the PC.
7602 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game, plays great, but is used so there is visible wear on the cartridge. Otherwise great to play, super nostalgic
139 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The video quality is fine but if you have your hdmi plugged directly into your tv and have a separate receiver for audio, the cables are way too short to fit in both, so right now if I want to use the better video signal, I have to use the tv audio. I'll try to rip open the cables to make them reach but this is really a design flaw, although many newer receivers have hdmi connectors on them, there are a lot that don't.
4888 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 if u like r.p.gs then u MUST play this game and if u have u know what i mean.wow i cant say enough about the story its crazy good
6194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything works like brand new. It was only the system so I bought an A/V cord and power supply, controller and 5 games and everything works like a charm. While reading the reviews I see a bunch of people are either really unlucky or just really picky. I either got lucky or have low expectations cause everything works like the day it was first bought.
8th Level: Streets - The best level for the fact that every challenge is as easy as it is hard.
You play(well you actually play several characters)Cloud Strife, an ex-member of Soldier(kind of an army police sort of thing working for Shinra) who has joined with a team Avalanche who are against Shinra...a corporation that is draining mako energy out of the planet with reactors (without mako energy the planet will die). But what starts out as a mission against Shinra becomes a struggle to save the world. It's more than that, though, so I will leave you to find out for yourself. There are alot of side quests too. Like chocobo breeding(Oh yeah,You gotta try that) or the gold saucer which is like a big arcade.
While daring, this visual style gives "Yoshi's Island" the appearance of being marketed for small children. While Mario has always been whimsical and colourful, "Yoshi's Island" takes this tendency to even a more extreme place, and as a result has the potential to turn off a lot of players (my college buddies from back in the day, for instance). Appearances are ultimately deceiving however; not only is "Yoshi's Island" one of the best platformers out there, with deep, engrossing gameplay, but to fully complete the game and 100% each level is QUITE challenging.
Always one of my personal favorites, it was nice to see the blue clad Lin Kuei travel around on a quest full of puzzles, traps, and secret goodies. The way they used the original "motion capture" method like in the first MK games also made this feel like it really WAS part of the Mortal Kombat series. Plus, with cameos from many of Mortal Kombats' lore, its fun and quite catchy to see who pops outta nowhere to be a boss or potential plot twists the first time around.
1362 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 15 years later, still a great game.
6785 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfectly
This game excels in both gameplay and storyline. I find it hard to believe that anyone who has played at least half this game would say they "hate" such a masterpiece.
By the way for those of you who agree with my review lets hope for Megaman 9 soon
Alot of the GF's have some of the same abilities to start out with, so pay attention to which one give you the abilities to junction certain stats. You will need to divide them up accordingly, so that your whole party has even statistics, so then you will be able to draw with them also. Always leave one party member with a magic command though so you can use cures, and draw with your other two. Your GF's level up as long as they're equipped to you, even if you don't use them in battle.
2. freeze-and-spin-Matrix-effect that occurs just before a fatality is pretty cool.
5436 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the football game to play with friends and neighbors, since it only takes 5 minutes to learn the controls, yet there's still plenty of depth (and you can always handicap things by letting newcomers play with stronger teams).
3845 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really can't say enough good things about this game. Firstly the code is rock-solid. It's probably the only 3D game that's ever played on our clunky home computer without crashing or giving us glitches. It also has an atmosphere that constantly sends prickles down your spine and encourages you to do more than shoot everything in sight.
All in all, this game is well worth buying.
WITH THE HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS!!!
4729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To try and describe a game like SOTN is near impossible. Think of it as an onion that as a gamer you will peel away at for years. The creators of this masterpiece were either obsessive compulsive designers hell bent on blowing the minds of the gaming world, or mad geniuses creating a masterpiece the same way Picasso brought a painting into existence. No other game that exists today can match the depth and scope of this marvel.
Graphics are pretty nice for the time this game was released. There are cinematics that are of course nicer looking, but many elements of the actual game are gorgeous. The animations for when you use your GFs (guardian forces, formerly "espers" in other games) in battle are pretty awesome too.
I highly recommend this Mega Memory Card to any owner of a Dreamcast!
5689 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I'm a huge Final Fantasy guy, but for me, 8 is just very close to trash. I tried to play it right when it came out but I couldn't stand it right from the get go so I quit early. I tried to play it again a few years ago and the same exact thing happened. Finally a little while ago, I forced myself through it. No exaggeration.
5484 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I LOVED THIS GAME~
What has me dock a star off this review is that the challenge feels cheap at times. There is a way or two how more than half your health will drain from an enemy using their attack (Not the standard fighting moves). Everything else is great.
Fun: 10/5
Another cool option is how you can walk around your headquarters, the Carrington institute. Here, you can talk to your boss, Daniel Carrington (although not much!) and you can learn how to fist fight, be more accurate with each weapon, learn about other characters and ships, and learn how to use cool gadgets like the CamSpy (a hovering little camera, that is controlled by you by just moving it around with the joy stick).
5910 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Could have been a lot better. to put it simply, to perhaps the biggest final fantasy fan ever,me, i was totally diappointed by this game. i hate the whole modern/futuristic look that this game has. even ff7 had this to a point. i want this to be like fantasy..castles, swords, mages, kings, knights, wizards. i hate that there is no armor or accessories, plus i hate that there are no magic points, and magic is not earned. the experience points thing stinks. leveling up/money mean nothin in this game. my favorite part of RPG is building up wrecking machine armies. ergo my sabin, celes, edgar, and terra army from ff3/6. in this game the enemies level up with you so theres no point in leveling yourself up. this game is soooo dumbed down. the villain or lack thereof is horrible. BRING BACK KEFKA! the gf's take like 20 years to finish making battles so annoying, instead of fun like in ff6 and chrono cross. the storyline is terrible and the characters are too real looking. plus every character is essentially the same, each character does not have unique abilities except for the limit breaks. maybe if square had released this game under a different title not final fantasy 8 i woulnt have been disappointed. this remains the only ff game ever that i haven't finished, i stopped playing on disc 3. if u want a good RPG to play, get FF9 which goes back to hardcore fantasy and the original ways that made final fantasy so great. also i recommend ff3/6 which is undoubtable the best FF game ever, and arguably the best game ever. i also recommened chrono trigger and chrono cross which are totally awesome games. don't waste your time or money with final fantasy 8.
can shoot limbs off people or make em squirt blood all over the place.
4742 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So much has already been said about this game. One of the best and most riveting games on the PSX. At the end of the castle there is a surprise waiting for you! I will not spoil it. The graphics are impressive, for it's time, as well as the animation and control. The music and sounds fit the subject very well. Definitely a game worth while getting and playing. Fun, orignal and not to be missed. A game to be passed down or willed to a family member :)
1-Angel Island 80%
It has been a while and GRAPHICS have improved immensely since this game was produced.
Three thousand years later, Knuckles the Echidna guards the Master Emerald on the floating Angel Island when the evil scientist Doctor Eggman sets free Chaos. The Master Emerald is shattered and Angel Island plunges into the sea, causing the Master Emerald's shards and the seven Chaos Emeralds to be scattered. Resolving to search for the shards of the Master Emerald, Knuckles sets off. In Station Square, Sonic the Hedgehog sets off and defeats Chaos after witnessing an attack by the police. Miles "Tails" Prower tests his Chaos Emerald-powered airplane, only to crash on the beach of Emerald Coast. After Sonic rescues Tails, they go to his workshop in the Mystic Ruins, where they are confronted by Eggman. The mad scientist uses Tails' emerald to transform Chaos and he reveals his ultimate plan: with the power harnessed from the Emeralds, Chaos will eventually become invincible and destroy Station Square and Eggman will build Robotnikland over the city's ruins. Sonic and Tails set off searching for emeralds to prevent Eggman from getting them first, but eventually lose the ones they find to Dr. Eggman and Chaos. Dr. Eggman escapes in his airship, the Egg Carrier, which shoots down Sonic and Tails's pursuing plane.
The amount of creativity that went into each of the 25 stages is simply incredible. Unlike the first Crash Bandicoot game where you mainly just spin around through a jungle environment breaking boxes and jumping over cracks in the ground, Warped offers a LOT more in the way of variety. In Warped you will encounter a few motorcycle racing stages (where you're required to get first place so you can receive the purple gem), a couple underwater stages (with VERY neat-looking backgrounds and deadly, puffy fish swimming about), a couple levels where you're steering an airplane and required to shoot down blimps and other airplanes, and not to mention those tricky, tiger-riding stages.
I only have a couple of complaints about the game, but they are very minor gripes. Like, the blue tunic and the red tunic are gotten way late in the game, which isn't a bad thing, but you nearly get them consecutively. The blue tunic should have been available a little earlier.
1) The combat. It's just ok...sometimes the controls stick and it's tough to get up from a crawl and Snake sometimes backs up against walls you didn't mean him to back up onto. The aiming can take a bit to get used to as well.
2891 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good game to the series
3333 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Oh what fun for PlayStation to pick up rights to the classic Pac-Man game, like they did for Sonic the Hedgehog & several other formerly popular characters. Plus this is a great game...Happy Gaming!
Overall, this game has so much to offer. I am always tempted to replay it because of things I missed, such as getting Cloud's final limit break Omnislash or beating Ruby and Emerald Weapon. Just twenty minutes into the game, I was hooked. It was the first RPG I had ever played and ever since I loved the genre.
Aside from graphics, Giants presents and engaging and hilarious story with excellent gameplay. Just when I felt I'd conquered one aspect, the game switches gears, races, or genres and suddenly becomes a new game. Giants hints at being a first person shooter, a racing game, a strategy game, and an adventure game. Unlike many games that have tried to combine different elements and failed, Giants makes each transition smoothly and succesfully.
Well go have fun I did. Take your time and do it right I did and I got good at.
3376 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember back in 1999 when I received Dino Crisis as a Christmas present. This was my first exposure to a survival horror game. Believe it or not, I actually didn't bother with the Resident Evil series until six years later, in the summer of 2005, which is when I played Resident Evil 2 for the very first time.
the backgrounds range to beautifully picturesque to "let's see how much brown we can get away with." The cutscenes are pretty epic.
3713 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Being few lucky one to play Star Ocean for Super Famicom, I was very excited to play Star Ocean 2 for good reasons. The original was one of best game for SNES/SFC (as good as FF3/6), and this one is charming as well. The background is well drawn, and 2D based characters didn't hurt the visual either.
6041 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 My best advise is to never buy a memory card online! I couldn't save at all with out it needing to be reformatted each time. I suggest not to buy memory cards online.
There is, however, one slight problem about a certain materia. In this game, there is a Support Materia called Elemental. What this materia does is it adds a connected materia's element(s) to your attack (if equipped on a weapon) or protects you from connected elements (if equipped on armor). The problem comes in play if you equip this to your weapon. If you run into an enemy who is strong against the element(s) that is/are attached to Elemental, you have no way to change the elemental properties that the weapon currently possesses. So, you may have to start back to your last save point if the situation gets really bad and all you can do is attack.
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
1121 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off, this game is very good considering it had very good graphics (for an N64) and sound. Second of all, the storyline is the best I've seen in ages. The boy from the woods that no one knows becomes the Hero of Time... I would reveal more, but I do not want to spoil the game. Third, the gameplay and controls are easy to master, so you probably won't be swinging your sword at an enemy when you intended to throw bombs at it like games with complicated buttons. (; Fourth, the thing that makes Zelda, well, Zelda! The dungeons. The puzzles in them are chalenging and fun. The scenery in the dungeons (and everything else) is amazing. Fith, the enemies are unique and mystique, making the worlds you explore even cooler. Overall, this game is THE top must have of the N64 gaming system. ...
3.) The Forgotten City
9189 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 there are only 10 playable characters but it is still alote more better then mortal kombat a must buy game
Thief has 12 mission but they are very large and will take you long to complete,It has a training mission too even that is very scary and fun to play. The level design is fantastic,You need to sneak arround and explore Posh mansion,Haunted mine,Well gaurded prison,Ancient ruins,Haunted cathedrals ect. Thief's graphics are not that great but more than enough for the fantastic gameplay,The sound recording is excellent infact the sound is the most important for the gameplay. The villans in blood are really scarry,the skull faced hammer haunts are the most scary villans in a computer game,It moves very fast impossible to outrun and very hard to kill,If one of them spots you then you are finished,You will know when you see play return to the haunted cathedral. My favorite is "Return to the cathedral",It is the most scary level in the game. The AI is very good,The gaurds are smart and they react very well to every little sound. Thief has great weapons,The bow and arrow is the most realistic weapon in a computer game, The blackjack is my favorite weapons,Almost all (human AI only) mission can be completed with just the blackjack weapon. The voice acting in thief is fantastic,One of the best ever in a computer game,Stephan Russell who did the voice for Garrett has done a fantastic job,Surprisingly he did the voice for many other charecters in the game and one cant belive it is the same guy. The game is a must-have for any FPS or RPG game lovers,Thief The Dark project is one of the best first person shooter game and an important part in Fps history.
6742 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As described
1861 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game. Back when I was eight years old I got this on PC and played this game until it became muscle memory. Playing this on PS1 is even more fun thanks to the benefit of a controller.
3675 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had Tekken 3 for two years now and I still love playing it, mainly because it is one of the best PS1 fighters ever made.
-Players: 1, 2 (Co-op), 2 (Competitive), 2 (Alternative)
3990 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game brought back so many memories, it came in the condition that was in the description. It worked perfectly.
9383 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game reminds me of the movie, so I had to get it. I can't say it's been easy, ha, but I'm willing to try.
2. The game plot is very nicely done, it has very cool and unique characters and the scissorman is a very freaky character...
Weapon select: Getting sick of those crummy little guns in your weapons set? You and your friends just want to blow each other up with rockets? Well then, just make up your own set! Go ahead, select all the weapons you want, or then again, don't! Slap each other silly, it's up to you.
NO IDEA WHAT TO DO
3287 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me start by saying that this was one of the best games that I have ever played. I was hooked from the opening movie, and even showed it to one of my friends who was impressed by the detail in that movie. The first time I watched the opening movie, I thought to myself, how can the game possibly live up to the expectations I was having after having seen that? Well, the game does stand up to it, with wonderfully rendered characters who almost seem perfectly life like, and an immersive game play that took a good long time to finish.
905 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Banjo-Kazooie is an action adventure game in the style of Super Mario 64. However, it is similar, yet also quite different. Rather than having most of the skills you need at the beginning of the game, you learn a few in the very beginning, and then learn the remaining skills throughout the first six worlds (there are nine, but they are much larger than the fifteen in Mario 64). Notes are like coins, and jiggies are like stars. However, rather than six stars in each world, there are 10 jiggies to find in each world, and 10 in the witch's castle (much like the castle secret stars). Also, you can transform in five of the nine massive levels with the help of the crazy witch doctor Mumbo-Jumbo. Generally, it will help you get at least 1 Jiggy in the world, and they can do things that Banjo and Kazooie can't on their own. Throughout the game, you get to transform into a termite (level 1), an alligator (level 4), a walrus (level 5), a pumpkin (level 7), and a bee (level 9).
In terms of variety, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions does a great job. There are so many different varied missions here to keep you busy. You'll also be able to unlock the Ninja and a couple of other secrets, although, none of these things is very lucrative. While it's great to play as the Ninja, the controls are a little sloppy, and there are only three incredibly short missions. As I said, however, there are a ton of VR Missions here to keep you busy for a long time.
9179 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Paperboy 2 is nearly identical in game-play to the first Paperboy except that this one also features a Papergirl character you can pick as well as more wacky obstacles to get in your way of delivering the morning paper to your subscribers.
There are also a couple of mini games (including a chao breeding simulation) which provide additional amusement.
6663 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This case is great and beats the Pokemon case although I reccomend that a lot. This case can fit a Game Boy Color, about eight games or so, and any hardware that you might own for your Game Boy. This is one of the better cases that Nintendo has made. There is just one minor problem with the case. It does not give enough support for the Game Boy. Like I said that is a very minor problem. Buy and enjoy. It is a great thing to own for any Game Boy user!
It's overall pure fun. Games can last for hours and hours if you really want. Though playing a board game on a console sounds dull, this game completely opposite of that!
I have a few things I want to add. If you're wondering if it works well on a PS2. Yes, perfectly. And one more thing. I bought the game used, not greatest hits, and it had trouble because of the condition it was in, so I bought a new copy that is the greatest hits version. The older one comes with a case that is very annoying because it is really hard to get disc 2 out. I was worried about having to bend the disc to get it out. I would highly suggest buying the greatest hits version because the case is made better. All of the discs come out easily, so no disc bending.
2396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!
the learning curve is steep, but the tutorials are excellent. even i was able to catch on.

5427 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hey it's classic Mortal Kombat what else needs said...Perfect
It might be kind of cool if I did though.
What sets it apart: Great AI, Great mission builder.
It's awkward, it's punchy, and buggy. It restricts your creativity in a way that I've yet to experience in any other Sim game. You are limited to two island scenarios to begin, and they are in themes like Dinosaur, and Space Ship ... and they are VERY tiny -- not much to work with. Creative-wise, you are stuck with rides that are typical to that particular theme -- IE: your park attendees bounce up and down on a dinosaur's stomache as one of the rides. *shudder*
7959 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Suikoden's chief appeal comes from its behemoth cast of 108 playable characters, some of whom join you for no reason whatsoever, some of whom you need to mollify with special items, or impress by other means, and most of whom have no semblance of any personality. There, I said it. By combining different character in special formations, you can also stumble upon combination attacks, but there are so many possible formations that this task is well beyond daunting.
Ok, the only DN game i ever played fully was Duke Nukem Zero Hour, so i decided to try antoher one, and TTK seemed like a great choice since it resembled Zero Hour.....and it's just as awesome, the weapons are amazing with my personal favorite being the shotgun and the level design is fun and not to repetitive. Graphics wise it's not that bad, but it's a PS1 game from 1996, but graphics don't make the game, look at Metal Gear or Resident Evil, and Duke Nukem is just as fun as those two. If you're an action game fan, a Duke Nukem fan, or just want pure action, big explosions, bigger guns and Duke with an even bigger ego, check this game out.
9548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games of all-time. Every couple months I check to see if they've updated for ps3/ps4.
However, there are setbacks to this awesome game, as I will now mention. I will have to state that the storyline wasn't as gripping as in RE2, nor as complicated with multiple scenarios. The cinematics, while the finest I have ever seen, are very short in length, so their overall effect isn't as high as I could have hoped. Also, after beating the game so many times, this game is now to me very easy for I know Nemesis' weaknesses, and can easily exploit them (email me for free tips). Also, the music isn't for the most part as good or scary or sad as in RE2. However, some of the tunes at the very end are absolutely astounding and alone are worth purchasing the soundtrack (well, I did just for those three tracks).
This is perhaps the best Playstation game of all time. It is the best Castlevania hands down (with the excellent Circle of the Moon coming in second) and is the most breathtaking in the series.

6168 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This system came as advertised and works like a charm. Plugged it in and it worked first try. I also liked the custom paint job that came with it as it makes the console stand out a bit. Overall it was a good purchase and I am extremely satisfied.
I myself have two copies of FF VII and even a copy of the cds I made as well. I'm going to destroy those cds as well to follow my own advise. Those people sure did a very mean stunt to the makers of Final Fantasy VII in ruining possibly the best rpg game they ever made!!! Personally I think those people at the least should be sent to a federal prision for the rest of their lives!!! grrr!!!
4988 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first played this when I was younger when I rented it and I bought it out of nostalgia.
Later
2767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is exellent. However I recommend buying the updated version "realMYST". This version you can't pan around to gage your surroundings. They are both the same game, but the graphics in the updated realMYST is a vast improvement over this version.
8473 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Omg this was the highlight of my life. I remember getting this for Christmas one year and i was too little to understand it...i never got past the hammer bros...but as i got older i began to understand how things worked and i was blown away. The amazing story, The amazing graphics, all the characters and enemies, all the worlds to explore...some of my favs were monstro town, booster tower, nimbus land, etc. its just a dream...i keep waiting for the day for them to make a sequel to this one. the others mario rpgs just don't compare to this one. its a masterpiece. theres also a lot of humor in this game...id have to say the funniest enemies are the axem rangers, i loved the power rangers also as a kid and i busted out laughing when i saw this. Another thing i loved about this game were all the secrets. I don't think i ever found them all, but i did find the casino and the lazy shell among others...i think the only way to beat culex is with the lazy shell or the star egg which i never had, if someone can do it without any of these things id love to see it. i never got the 50 jump thing, which i think youd need so kid of cheat to do that bc its near impossible. i have absolutely no complaints about this game other than they need a sequel. if you love mario or rpgs. buy this game immediately, though i couldn't imagine you not already knowing about this game if you love either one of those things.

1166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first Zelda game for the 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time won game of the year for 1999. As Link, your quest to save the tri-force from the evil Ganondorf will take you all over Hyrule, not only in the present, but also the future with the help of the Ocarina of time. If you like the Zelda series, this game is definently for you (or even if you just like to save the world in your spare time:])
The graphics are only 2D and compared to the new games, it is lacking.. but it still is visually appealing and lovely to see.
+ sharp controls that work well for the most part
3754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From the moment you put this game into your Dreamcast, you will be immediately astounded by how good the graphics, the gameplay, and the story is. This is truly one of the greatest games of all time. The story is so massive, so detailed, and so original, it will have you hooked on the game.
4755 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first picked it up, I thought it would end up just being another throw away.
It is debatable whether the two factions are balanced or not but after many years of playing it seems that both are equal in the long run. The possibilities are limitless and Jedi's even play a role in the game, albeit sometimes minimal (it's by chance that you'll have force sensitive characters, however I find that the Alliance gets more). The game switches between Strategic-Tactical in a manner that flows. There is even a feature to "simulate" the battle in case you're not the type to enjoy the tactical portion of the game.
5471 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 loved it but if ppl want to write a book then thats on them but we shouldnt have to put this much on feed back
The problems with RE 3 lie mainly in the game's production. It's nigh-on impossible to keep track of yourself for the first thirty minutes or so, and the map for this portion of the game is difficult to spot. The baddies are souped-up versions from the previous games and are actually too difficult to kill initially. You waste precious ammo and health packs before you realise that you can take multiple paths. Also, Nemesis, though an excellent inclusion, is again too intense for the early stages of the game, and more often than not you'll find yourself cursing Capcom while waiting for your game to reload after he's dispatched you. Again.
Twisted Metal Black: First Playstation 2 release and back in the hands of the original creators who reformed under the name Incognito entertainment. Best Graphics easily so far and better than even the game to come after and gameplay thats arguably just or good or better than any of the other games. With nearly as many features as 4 including the first twisted metal game that was online capable(with a special disc not all copies could do that and official servers are shut down now) this game is considered the best by playstation 2 fans and many fans of the twisted metal series.
The interface is one of the better ones available, and allows you to choose from many options which will help you when saving and playing the game. Turning on and off the sound, the secret project movies, and custom tailoring the game to what you want it to display is fairly easy. There's even an "Auto-Save" feature which is a nice touch if you need to break away form your game quickly. There are still many people that play and use this game online, and the online interface is just as easy to use as the rest of the game.
520 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An astounding commercial success in 1997 and still holds up well today, Tomb Raider 2 was a step in the right direction. It had vast improvements over the first. From using flares to light up rooms, to driving some vehicles it was a lot of fun. Also Lara's moves are improved. The back flip and doing a 180 in the air combo was one of the best.
6767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's ok
6960 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 blends 3 mortal kombats in one, not the first three games that i expected. game play was lame. Not for beginners very hard.
187 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this thing, It makes your controller look badass and is so soft. It has a great feel to it, way better than plastic, even if you have a Black controller this will improve it. The seams on the side are my only tiny concern. Add this with the Grip-it, blue analog covers and you have a great controller for cheap. I can`t say enough about the comfort. fantastic!
Jade Coccoon has a dreamlike fairy-tale quality that I enjoy. There is character development and an actual plot. The sound track is beautiful; I wish I could find it. The character Po tells some good stories (the first about Alcana is the best), which is a nice diversion. My favorite element of the game is that there is no clear "good guy" and "bad guy", there is conflict on both sides. It also touches on some theological questions in an interresting way. The graphics are also quite good for a PlayStation game, and actually add to the mood and setting rather than just act as flashy eye-candy.
The final boss, Ogre/True Ogre(I count him as two villains)looks to be very powerful and very difficult to defeat, but there's a special trick to defeat him as though you were teaching a tired cat to yawn: You just gotta play as King and kick the s*** out of him. Trust me, I've done it twice. You fight Ogre as King, he's got no hope. Period
Expect to see the coolest Mega Man X weapons. There are two extremely powerful weapons called Storm Tornado and Fire Wave, which make dashing through the levels a breeze. These two weapons happen to take out most enemies in a matter of seconds. All the weapons in the game are awesome (even though the Electric Spark and Rolling Shield are fairly weak, they are pretty fun to mess around with). Capcom was never able to create such cool weapons in a Mega Man game again.
297 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I keep using it almost every time I play my ps2 games.
The missions, the ships, the dogfights, the graphics, the storyline, everything is top notch. I would have to also say that this game is underrated.
And so, from this point, and with the city infested by the waking dead, we have our hero Jill Valentine enter the story. And the adventure begins.
I can't rave enough. Possibly equalled in terms of absorbing entertainment only by it's own sequels, FF 7 is still a rewarding, hugely entertaining, and very special game. Totally recommended.
8524 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best Nintendo 64 games you can get. Very satisfied.
323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect, just what I was expecting
8831 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So, you just read my title line...
If you forget one thing on a mission, just one small thing which most of the time has nothing to do with the story, then you have to start the whole mission over again. You don't just do the thing you forgot, either, you have to do all the things that you did do, as well as the things you did not.
Dark Sakura
8447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fun to play even to this day
on a side note. the typing of the dead just may be more fun than this game unless of course you don't enjoy typing. :)

3898 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 at first when i SAW the dreamcast controller... i was like..."it looks kinda weird." BUT after i bought the dreamcast... played games on it.. i was like "HEY! I don't need to shake my hand off with this thing." My point is... the Dreamcast Controller doesnt hurt ur two pointing fingers like the playstation and super nintendo controller do. I can play with the DC controller for hours! whoever made this controller was BRILLIANT!
In brief, Final Fantasy VIII is an excellent RPG. I whole heartedly recommend it to fans of the Final Fantasy series, as well as those looking for a nice change of pace within the RPG genre.
4766 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I enjoy RPG games. Really, I do. But for some reason, I couldn't get into this one as much as I thought I could. But I've looked at all the reviews on this board, and most are raving about it. But what I'm also wondering is if these very positive reviews are from mostly die-hard RPGers, and/or Dungeon & Dragons fans.
If you've got a Wii, download this game.
3. In my opinion this is the funnest Gameboy. This Console has a certain personality that other console just don't have. It is the fun loving console happy go getting console. If your goth. I don't recommend it. I always play this thing. This is my GOTO Gameboy. (Basic joke). If you don't get you are much cooler than I am. But hey it's that kind of console. Yes there are better options to play the same games. But I keep grabbing this.
not so good dialouge
596 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There have been many N64 games to brighten up the new generation of gaming. This game not only has sharp graphics, but it also has great gameplay and is very challenging.
b) memories of playing this game when I bought my DreamCast last year comes flooding back
Known games this doesn't work with that I have found.
Pros:
6700 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I still remember that I bought this game along with the GameBoy when they were released in 1989 when I was still a teenager. It has everything a Mario fan could expect! Graphics are very similar to Super Mario Bro. for the NES as well as the gameplay and no saving feature! In addition, there are some new elements like divided road at the end of a stage and could ride an airplane in the sky or a submarine in the deep ocean. That's is why this game is one of my favorites of all time!
6977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Happy
3. The game is short, but it is genuinely replayable. At the beginning of the game, you choose one of three distinct character classes. The beginning missions for each class are totally different. The later missions are the same, but each class has such distinct abilities that you have to play them somewhat differently.
5468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another game I found from my childhood. I haven't played this in so long. Definitely a great PlayStation original for PlayStation enthusiasts like myself.
Resistances are just the defense that your character has against the elements. Each one is ranked separately; so therefore you could have a resistance of 75 in fire but only 25 in Lightning. At the beginning of the game you have no resistances at all -- you have to find armor or other things that give these resistances to you. Also, you may not raise your resistances above 75 unless you have items that let you add points to your "maximum resist".
I think it's all the pieces put together: a beautiful crafted world, the progress when playing - from a child into a young man -, the challenges you'll face and overcome, the music that playes a big role in the game, the use of time: day and night, future and past etc. etc.
What really grabs me about the RE series, however, is not the wide variety of monsters or the action per se, but the storyline. The game begins with and is occasionally interrupted with movie sequences which explain some of the backstory, which heightens the feel of having been thrown face-first into a cerebral splatter film. It is an "interactive" experience in the truest sense. All that's missing is zombie brains on your shoes.
856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Being the third major installment of the all time great C&C seris tiberian sun was released in 1999 with enormous anticipation and fanfare. Unforunately the game didn't seem to live up to the hype but looking back today a few years later tiberian has stood the test as a fine solid game and now that it is basically at a bargain bin price i certainly think it's worth a look even for those who already own red alert 2. The main difference that i see between TS and RA2 is the look. Where the characters in RA2 are a bit too large the ones in TS may be a bit too small. RA2 has a more straight forward look much like ra1 were Ts has that cool golden dusk look. Since TS is a fantasy sci fi game almost anything goes where RA2 is based on more conventional warfare. That extra room for creative activity helps make TS a fun game. One example is the hunter seeker feature were you can create a drone attached to an explosive. This drone will take off on it's own and randomly attach itself and destroy an enemy unit or structure. You must have this feature because your opponent will. Another feature i like is the component towers were you make the towers early and later buy the defensive attachment. There's a vulcan cannon for fighting infantry, the grenade launcher and the anti air sam.

Overall, I would have to encourage people to buy all the X-Com games and Shadow Watch before buying this one. And even then, I would replay the former titles again before sending buying this one. Firefights in Jagged Alliance are needlessly long and indecisive, there is little variation between combat locations and opponents, and there is a lot of built in frustration in the fact that your units are so vastly inferior to those controlled by the computer. This is a game with a lot of subtle problems that should have been caught in the beta testing.
Third person shooters weren't very frequent on PS1 and when they did come by they were usually pretty bad. Syphon Filter proved that you can make this genre work on the PS1. The game is still really fun today and was way ahead of its time. A well done camera, great lock-on system, a decent story with memorable characters, a kick-ass arsenal of guns, and genius level design. Who would have thought a third person shooter would be this good in the late 90s? Eidetic and 989 Studios did.
If you're going to play with the N64 system you should, IMO, try to get the most out of it. And while the added 4 mb of memory may not be required to play your favorite game, at this price, its still a worthy addition.
9371 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game brings back alot of great memories to me from when I was a kid. The gameplay is intresting and the graphics are awesome. It even has the original theme song from the show! "Beavis and Butthead" the game,is fun,addicting,and a great trip down memory lane.
5023 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What a perfect day to review a dreary, scary classic video game. This is one of those rainy, cold and windy April days. We have them every year. After being teased with exceptionally warm weather a couple days ago, days like today make you realize how lucky you are to experience warmer than normal temperatures. I could sit here and talk about the weather all day (and I probably will after this review is finished) but it's time to review a game that was groundbreaking at the time of its release. A game that was VERY disturbing then, and just as disturbing today.
4147 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Age of Mythology series is definitely the best ever sires of real time strategy games. In all versions of the game you are allowed to control both the armies and economies of your nation. You can build buildings, creature soldiers or peasants, even priests. Your peasants you command to do the different menial tasks such as farming, mining, and building castles. While your armies roam the land either defending your peasants, sieging enemy castles, or raiding their peasants. Priest have the power to convert both peasants and soldiers. If you like being king of the world, this is for you. Finally, I just want to differentiate between the games. Age of Empires is the oldest of the games and should run on any computer, but I wouldn't recommend the game without either the Rise of Rome Expansion Pack or just buying the Age of Empires Gold Edition. These two correct many problems with the original Age of Empires. Next game up the latter for medium computers is Age of Kings (that's what I'm still playing.) It can run on just about any computer with sixty four megs of ram and a two hundred megahertz processor. I use it on a five hundred megahertz and a one point four gigahertz. Next game up is the Age of Mythology. This introduces a whole new realm of playing to the sires. This one you civilization chooses different gods to worship and is given power from them. Unfortunately you only get two really spectacular god powers each game and you can only use them once, but then it keeps the game to more strategy and less luck and wildcards. (It is fun to get the wildcards when you have them though!) This game should have a processor of I would say at least a six hundred and a graphics card at least thirty two megabytes; and lastly this is not the game for everybody. I still use Age of Kings/Conquerors not because of my computer, but because I don't like all the crazy stuff in Mythology; I think it distracts from the medieval battle tactics. Really choosing between Mythology and Age of Kings is just a matter of personal opinion. I'd say download both demos and try them both; or if you have the money to blow, buy them both. Either way I think you'll love both of them. Well that's all for me. This is just a general over view don't take my words as gold check out the specs and requirements yourself. I just wanted to help point you in the right direction.
There are also many bonus items to get, King K Rool Crowns, Banana fairy photographs, a Rareware coin and a N64 coin. For the Rareware coin you play the Jetpack game, and for the N64 coin you play the original Donkey Kong game which will drive you crazy because you only get one live.
The story is as epic as any great Final Fantasy should be, although I do admit that the ending is a bit lax...still, it was followed up by sequels, so at least the story did continue. Most of the characters are interesting, even colorful (Cid and Barrett's constant swearing definitely added flavor to this FF entry!). Cloud's complex relationships with Aeris and Tifa are among the story's highlights, and of course, the culmination of Cloud facing his former friend and idol.
5428 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is not the version I remember. It feels very clunky and the load times are hardly tolerable. Try another version for your MK3 fix.
at the time. The pc version?
You start off as a mercenary, an Ex-Soldier named Cloud who is working with a group named 'Avalanche', a team of members who infiltrates Shin-Ra's biggest Mako city, Midgar. Mako is destroying the planet & Avalanche (known as hippies or treehuggers) is trying to stop that from happening. What Cloud doesn't realize is he's closer to Shin-Ra then he thinks. And a mysterious man known as Sephiroth suddenly attacks Midgar after a tragic event that took place in.. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
I like it so far, but my one complaint with it is that there is alot of talking to people and very little focus on advancing your characeter through battle. It would be nice to make the next title something more like the old Final Fantasy games. I was thinking of Neverwinter Nights or Dungeon Seige. I prolly go with the Nights.
Brood War has plenty of new stuff. Three new Campaings. Three new Terrain types(Ice world, Desert, Twilight world) and seven new units. The New untis are the following.
1326 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game long ago, and then was forced to pawn it. Now I have it again and I love it! I recommend it for anyone interested in the old "Doom style" first person shooters. Awesome game.
Note that there is a switch on the left side of the unit that switches between N64 and PlayStation modes. Away from you is PlayStation (left/red LED), towards you is N64 (right/green LED). I say this because there are no instructions and the switch is completely unlabeled.
Hope you like the game! I like it so much I play it practically every day.
1077 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember when my parents bought this game for my older brother in the 90's. It brings back so many memories and my brother and I still play it even though we beat it many times. My brother would play it every day trying to beat every obstacle and this game is truly fun, when my brother let me play the game I was hooked, I did need some of his help on many things but that didn't bother me from having fun. I enjoyed this game and anybody will. I usually don't like these kind of games but this game is amazing and I love to play it. Nintendo 64 truly does bring back memories and their games are fun too.
6392 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I bought this game I got cought up in it for a week. People are complaining that it didn't run good on there system. Thats because they have a PII processor. PCGAMER magazine said that if you have anything worse than PIII 450 128mb ram than it won't work good. That is true it works grat on a PIII but the game is not optimxed for PII. I have a PIII 600 128megs of ram and the best graphics board and I installed the 300mb Compact install and it worked fine.
This is simply one of the best, most immersive games for the N64. The music is great and the storyline is well thought out. IMHO the first person shooter segments are the most enjoyable though the flying segments are also well done. It is nice to have the option of fighting fewer or more bad guys - especially if you have kids playing.
None whatsoever other than being able to zone blocks of residential, commercial, and industrial areas, along with other specialized zones. You can't micromanage any individual businesses.
Eyes on Me
1667 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game works very well; had no problems at all.
There are a plethora of unique and magical items, none of which I have seen repeated yet. THere is also the new concept of "socketed" weapons and armor, which allows the player to socket magical gems into their weapons and gain bonuses from fire damage to life-stealing. THe unique items also change the way your character looks, which means the player has more of a connection with their character and keeps them on the lookout for items which may look cool when placed on the character.
7510 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Being into the racing sims, I would say that most of it was excellent and a lot of effort was put in. The only real flaw I see in the game is the selection of tracks. There's a basic 3 to start (Ranging from beginner to expert), and one secret course (Which I've raced on before). The control on the cars are mostly excellent, except for only a few blind corners that you have to floor the brakes and prepare for a lot of oversteer (And a possible spinout). But still definitely worth getting.
4200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spectacular game. Just a killer waiting for the second. But a must have for all gamers.
The graphics haven't aged well, but still have the ability to scare. One of the first survival horror-games to utilise fully modelled realtime environments, the camera angles and darkness/fog make for some truly chilling views. You find your way with the aid of a map, torch and a radio that emits static only when an enemy is close. Since darkness and fog are very cleverly employed in the game (ostensibly to keep the slowdown to a minimum, it also serves to heighten the tense atmosphere) what you hear and do not see is a lot scarier than what you do see. There are also several of the truly cool, nightmarish vignettes that the series has become famous for - Pyramid-Heads in steel cages, the Mark of Samael, and terribly wasted corpses cling to walls and ceilings and give us a deeper sense of the ravages of satanism.
2nd or 3rd stage is a train. Where you must hop from cart to cart and reach the end
8549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has to be one of the greatest games of all time awesome 3-D graphics better graphics than in mario 64. Buy Buy !!!!
The Special Stage is different from that in Sonic 1. Instead of collecting 50 rings and jumping into a giant ring at the end of an act, you collect 50 rings and jump into a bunch of rotating stars that pop up when you hit a lamp post. You also race through a half-pipe and need to collect a certain number of rings before each checkpoint. When you clear all the checkpoints with the required amounts of rings, you get a Chaos Emerald.
I have played this game almost as much as I have Golden Eye 64, but not quite as much. If you are looking for a good quality game with a very high replay value then this is a great game to check out.
So, basically, the graphics aren't superb, it was one of the 1st games for the 64, and you can see the many advancements they made for RS. But this game is still good. SOFE & RS are 2 completely different games. If you love RS or BFN, and you haven't played this one 'cause you think it is inferior, then think again. It holds its own and stands up still. There is even a level on speeder bikes! Reminded me a bit of Racer, but not quite the same; it's hard to go fast and stay in control in this. There aren't any ships to choose in mission like RS, basically you start with the Snow Speeder, go onto Dash's ship that is much like the Falcon. And apparently there's a code to fly an X wing in the last level, and cheats to play as the AT-ST, but I didn't try them.
Code Veronica plays exactly like the other Resident Evil games (I've got them all), so if you like that style of control, you're in business here. What really sets Code Veronica apart from it's siblings, however are the graphics. I think I can confidently say that this is the best looking zombie game ever made. You can see every pus-oozing sore on those pathetic zombies, and environments are fully rendered in 3D.
Quake 2 for the N64 is a tad better, but if you love FPS Doom-type games like me, by all means, get this game now!
4= HIt or Miss Imo due to the character design styled more like 1 & 2 than 3
The PROS: There is so much content packed in this game, you get your money's worth instantly. First off, the graphics, music, sound effects, controls and game play are impressive for a racing game on the N64. Then, there is the satisfaction on unlocking the bonus content for you and your friends to enjoy later. This game shows how to give players an incentive to play through the game entirely and have something to show for it. Each track is huge and there are multiple surprises and shortcuts that each lap promises you a different experience each time. The different versions of Beetles are pretty damn cool and its worth unlocking all of them. The Beetle Battle mode is fun to play with your friends and is a game within itself (the tracks are huge so getting 3 more players is the best way to go.) This game will take you awhile to beat since it's quite challenging and that leads into...
Bottom line, get this game only after getting the first 2 in the series, but please get it. It is much better than Capcom's lackluster effort at modern Resident Evil games.
4730 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a masterpiece. That's all i can really say about this game. The animation is great, the enemies are imaginative and varied, the controls are quick and responsive, the exploration is fun... I only have one complaint, and that's with the terrible, terrible voice acting. But, even that gains a certain amount of charm and will bring a "Oh, that's so bad!" Smile to your face.
4203 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very cool game that has infinite replayability. One cool feature that this has is you can click one any person in your park and can see their status, if they like your park, and where they have been. The best part in this game is obvious, you get to build your own amusement park! For people who love roller coasters, you must get this game! The Short Version: Graphics: 3.5 Sound: 4.1 Control:4.5 Fun Factor: 4.8 Total: 4.3
9114 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game.

Okay, in the modern era of 3D the graphics are a little dated. Sure it's just sprite animation, but the beauty is in the details Chris Sawyer and his team added. In a 3D game (see the awful SimThemePark and SimCoaster for examples), this level of minute detail can't be added, there just aren't polygon pushing graphics cards in existence to do it. So the reality is they are only dated because the game industry says 3D is the thing, and not because they are less beautiful and detailed.
7832 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game was in great shape as advertised by the seller. Mastering it takes a bit of out-of-the-box problem solving. Keeping it real is no way to win.
The Bad News: If you're looking for something you won't shelf after you're done with it, look someplace else.
The character development aspects are wonderful. You can to some extent control which characters will like others and how well they get along. And, the closer they become, the more interesting things can happen. This can even effect battles. These aren't major things, but they certainly add a lot more depth and personality to the game. You control which skills the characters learn as well. Not only battle skills, but also metalwork, alchemy, cooking, art, photography, music... all sorts of things. And, all of the skills actually have some good use to them, rather than just being there as a gimmick.
-I kind of wished it was a SONIC ONLY adventure...but ohwell
Nonetheless, a solid effort and worth the ... whether you're a Trekkie or not. If you're starving for good FPS action, this will definitely tide you over until the next real piece of gaming genius comes along, whenever that may be. The expansion pack, due in early May, I'll be buying on the day it comes out.
You have to give Sony a LOT of credit for all the attention they put into Crash Bandicoot in an attempt to put the game on the same extraordinary level as Mario and Sonic, but gamers never really caught on to Crash the same way. When you think about it, the Playstation already HAD a huge selection of games to choose from around the time Crash was released, therefore Sony didn't even NEED a mascot. People were buying Playstation games like crazy anyway! Crash Bandicoot never even had to exist.
5486 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ok, I have to be honest. This game totally rocked. The graphics were surprisingly impressive and the combatives that you use, (Such weaponry as the soul reaver, Kain Reaver, Ariel reaver, Fire Reaver, Etc) is impressive and totally sucks you in. There are two reasons that I gave this game 4 stars instead of five stars: It can be very hard due to the puzzles and lack of direction, and plus it can be boring after a while because the enemies get pretty redundant after the first couple of levels. On the other hand, this game is worth buying. I enjoyed exploring the dark, scary, gut wrenching and yet unique world of Nosgoth, and I am hoping to get Blood Omen 1. Either way, this game is fun. It's impossible not to enjoy this game.
However, if you're a Space Invaders fan, this Super Nintendo version won't disappoint, as it is just like the arcade original. Just try not to expect a major improvement.
Battle System (8/10): Nothing really wrong with the battle system. It's a variant of turn-based, with a small bar in the corner indicating who will go next. While the bar does let you see when you're characters will go, I didn't really find it all that useful. What keeps this section from a perfect score is the abilities-and how you level them up. Using them over and over again strengthens your magic, but not how you'd expect. SPEED increases, not strength. I found this very frustrating and pointless. The speed doesn't really increase enough to make much difference- and leveling spells takes forever.
Since this game came out I've played Star Fox 64, Rez, Child of Eden, and Sky Gunner. I've played Panzer Dragoon Orta. And I've cried silent tears that Crimson Dragon was released for Xbox One instead of for a current-gen system. But...
Lates..
Weapons:Awesome weapons. Your trusty pistol the Desert Eagle never fails to kill,the Combat Shotgun kicks series Booty(licious),the Buffalo Rifle is awesome,the Chain Gun kills all in the way,the Mighty Boot which is fun but dangerous to us and many other fantastic weapons.
Kick...weapons like -
My copy looked nice and plays well. Fun game.
Final Fantasy VII was a reasonably good FF game, but it was also the first Playstation FF game, and had some advantages which were, at the time, unique to it. It was incumbent upon FFVIII to give us something more -- something cooler and better. It failed.
The gameplay of Silent Hill is similar to Resident Evil. Pretty much the same controls and but with harder puzzles. It also includes a sense of realism that eludes itself from the typical health bar and ammo screen. Playing Silent Hill 1 you feel more like a detective unraveling a mystery. Your on the edge of your seat the entire way and you just want to know whats going to happen next because you honestly can never predict what's going to happen in this town.
4036 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 DOESN'T HAVE THE EYE CANDY GRAPHICS OF HALF LIFE 2 BUT KEEPS YOU PLAYING AND ENGROSSED FOR HOURS.
+ great villain
7455 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game used a couple of years ago ..... I'm not quite sure why these guys are charging [their price] though. In this game its cool cause they do all the normal punches, kicks, and combos of normal fighting games but then they all also have weapons such as swords, axes, spikey balls on a chain, etc. This game is tons of fun for years and even though I own an XBOX and a couple games for it I still place Mace occaisionally.
430 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Breath of Fire III arrives almost three years after the fun-but strictly orthodox-Super NES title, Breath of Fire II. Although BOFIII isn't a radical departure from the earlier games in the series, don't let that turn you off; it's reassuring to see that sprite graphics haven't given way entirely to origami-style polygons. Sporting a quasi-medieval European setting, a heroic story line, and turn-based battles, BOFIII will appeal to fans of Square's Final Fantasy series and Working Designs' Lunar titles. An Epic Journey Breath of Fire III starts with the discovery of a tiny dragon that goes on a deadly rampage before it's captured. The dragon escapes and is transformed into a young boy named Ryu, who is befriended by a pair of delinquents, whose thoughtless pranks get them captured by some truly evil people. Ryu is left for dead, but his dragon powers revive him, so he sets off in pursuit of his friends' captors, unaware that he's about to be drawn into an ever-deepening pool of danger, deceit, and death. Like earlier BOF titles, Ryu can befriend several partners during his epic journey. Nina, the princess of Windia, makes another appearance in the series, although in this game she's apparently unrelated to her earlier incarnations. Ryu, too, shares the name of a character from the series, but he's also unrelated. However, Gobi, from the first BOF game, makes a cameo appearance. Nostalgic Graphics Graphically, BOFIII is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessors. Texture-mapped polygons are used to create the backgrounds, terrain, and buildings, while sprites are used to compose the various characters. More animation, colors, and special effects have been added to this version, but the look of the game will still be familiar to fans of the BOF games. The three-quarter-overhead view field map can be rotated somewhat so you can peek behind obstacles, but not to any great extent. Battles are fought directly on the field map, with characters and monsters displayed diagonally in one of four directions: Two are seen from the front and two from the rear.
A little background: I'm not sure about other consoles at the time, but the PS1, unlike todays Sony consoles, had a different control scheme. Instead of using the analogue sticks to move your camera and control your character, you used the arrow buttons. The analogue sticks didn't have much use. Actually with some games no use at all. In other games like Spyro the Dragon you had the option to turn them on, but for some of those games it was glitchy. Ape Escape prooved revolutionary in that it was the first PS1 game to solely use analogue controls and I'm happy it did. I think Ape Escape is the best moving ps1 game I have ever played due to analogue controls. It makes controlling your character and changing camera angles way easier than most games at the time. Now all games use this control scheme for the better.
Shuma Gorath
though the mic does work, and had no problems with utilizing the tambourine my only real complaint is that the USB Cable length is too short when compared to my original Rock Band Mic (from RB1).
8558 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Some (like girls who are X-Men fans) may complain that Jean Grey, Rouge, and Storm were not playable characters and call these X-Men games very sexest, but you got Psylocke - what more do you want!? It would be nice to have them, but Jean, Rouge, and Storm would be unfair because they can fly and are too powerful. If they were included in the game, developers would have to dramtically limit their powers (to make them well balance with other X-Men) and that would piss off gamers.
Corkscrew Follies is essential for your original game, and cool part? The new colors and music and banner signs are availible in your old parks, which you can acess with the new game! Buy the game ASAP for more theme park fun!

1129 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was always a fan of Zelda when it first came out for the original Nintendo. This is a fairly challenging game and I got bored with it quickly. There isn't a lot of violence in this game but I think it's too advanced for kids to play.
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
3262 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really like this product. It has a good looking. And also it has a pretty good size. I really like this product.
So why four stars? Well, like many people, I have my subjective, nit-picky problems. First, the pathfinding is pretty weak. It's mostly okay when you're out in the open, but in dungeons, the pathfinding is flat-out horrible. I barely escaped the Firewine dungeon alive because whenever I'd get into a battle and order my commands, my party members would then stupidly go off in six separate and unexpected directions. Second, although the world is huge, it does get tedious trudging across the BG map. At times, the game can feel like a chore to explore that unnamed wilderness section that's located leagues away from where you truly need to go only because, well, you feel there might be something interesting there. Third, going up levels takes a long time. Don't get me wrong, I realize that going up levels shouldn't be too easy to accomplish, but it's kind of disheartening to only be a level seven fighter at the end of the game (because there's an experience point cap of 89,000) with thirty-odd hit points. Either raise the cap or make level limits a bit lower. Lastly, although hardcore gamers may love the myriad spells, weapons, and potions, I felt there were too many. Your party members don't have many slots for carrying items, and all those items you find during your travels (potions in particular) become annoying (should I use such-and-such potion immediately? should I save it for a big battle? should I sell it and make money? should I simply leave it behind).
5301 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I don't want to diss anyone who likes this game, but I can't really see much good in this game. The graphics are not really anything speical. It seems almost impossible to see the enemy and you find your self being shot and you can't see the enemy until you've had a major loss of life. The control is rather overly complicated and isn't exactly user freindly. The sound is okay, but it seems to make you a little tence. The game is near impossible even on easy difficultys. I have owned the game for quite a long time and still haven't beaten the first level by myself. The missons seem a bit vague and you think "okay... what the heck do I do now?" too often. When I play this, I can't help but get frustrated and it always feels like the game's fault..... Even if you are in to army stuff, you might want to rent this first. If this is your kind of thing, I recomend Medal of Honor: Underground or Syphon Filter.
7655 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is FABULOUS. A friend of mine was visiting and brought it with him. He finally managed to convince me to play it, and swore I'd like it. I the skeptic that I am, especially involving me enjoying a golf game, highly doubted it.
237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great a lot of space for data! Came fast in the mail! :-)
How about memory cards? You can buy a memory card for less than 5 bucks for your PS1 console. I am totally serious about that. What a FANTASTIC price to store your memory for your many video game adventures. Trust me, you'll need a memory card for all the fairly long games available for the PS1.
If you really really want to play all the games in the Crash series just rent it.. even though it's dirt cheap to buy.. (haha) Put the money towards something BETTER.
In the end starcraft battlechest at 19 dollars is a great value with over 60 hours of gameplay for singleplayer alone. I only played through the single player because I was scared of getting absolutely and completely owned on battle.net which was my experience when I was 10 (my opponent would laugh uncontrollably at the sight of my meager base and units)
7285 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 To say the least, Donkey Kong took everything this genre stood for, and made a muck-up of it. Endless item collecting, muddy details and slow action leave this one for the chimps, uh, chumps.
However there is one factor that seperates this from most games. The secret to why this one of he best is that it is one of the few games that can touch you emotionally. Any game can give you an adrenaline rush. However it is very select few gaems that can touch you emotionally, and even make you cry. Final Fantasy 7 has accomplished this. THis is one of the select few titles that has ever done this. To date the only other title to do this is the cult hit Ico.
Worth the investment.
Also, Super Smash Bros. doesn't get boring after you beat it. I've had the game for about three, four years and I still love it. And if you get this AWESOME multiplayer combat game hopefully you will too.
Although the game gets a point taken off for not making the cities very detailed it is a lot more fun to play than it looks.
5035 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Unreal Tournament. The first, the best, the unforgettable.
The Link character was really cool! Link wears white tights, a green toga, and had a grappling hook device! He also has this little firefly thing called Navely that follows him around! You begin the game playing Link's little kid brother, which kinda sucked. I can't pwn Goombas with a little midget (Goombas are these big skeleton guys). I think the kid brother is supposed be Peter Pan, after he killed Captain Hook and left Neverland (maybe they have another game about that part).

7618 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 came exactly as described... its zelda dude... how can you even challenge this...?
The cut scenes are gorgeous and once you complete a game there are bonus levels. You have to complete the game on the hardest level to get all of them.
Go wherever you want, do whatever you want
The gameplay itself is ludicrous. As you (moon)walk across the various levels (some generic, some inspired by his 'classic' music videos) you'll encounter baddies like gangsters and zombies and your amazing way of killing them is...dancing them do death. Seriously! It's not Jesus Juice, it's Jacko Jamming! You hit the special attack button and Jacko will suddenly yell 'OW!' before strutting his lethal stuff. After which, the baddies will be vanquished somehow. After playing this game you'll be exhilarated and mentally exhausted at Jacko's killer moves. You'll be reduced to a dribbling wreck. He's so good, that even passing-by animals will join in and shake their asses. If you ever wanted to play a game in which even an innocent dog is hypnotised by Jacko into dancing Thriller then this is for you. But I don't want to know you.
But then it became really really hard, tedious, you cannot save in the middle of a level so you have to play the damned level again and again and again.
1183 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was never a big fan of the first-person shooter (FPS) genre, but after giving Half-Life a try (thanks to all of the glimmering reviews), I am absolutely hooked. From the opening tram sequence, you're mesmerized by Gordon Freeman's plight and the falling Black Mesa world surrounding him. It's a game that keeps you in a trance from midnight to the first crack of sunlight (apologies to my wife!). After dishing out punishment to those Marines, be sure to frag some people in the outstanding multiplayer modes. The fun gets even better, and the taste of death is even sweeter when you blow apart that guy with 196 kills. Half-Life is truly a work of art. Opposing Forces, here I come.
Dislike:
I've still to play as Knuckles and use the lock-on technology. But no matter how much I play or how hard I try there's no way I'll be able to get through the ENTIRE game and grab all 14 Chaos Emeralds. The Emerald stages are just too hard. With all 14 Chaos Emeralds you transform into Hyper Sonic, which I have never seen. But, to be honest I think there are only about 5 people in the history of the world who have been able to unlock Hyper Sonic.
Thankfully we can go back to simpler times and dust off the 64 and play Goldeneye. What was I even doing in 1997? I was 10 and had not one care in the world. All the main players are here doing the actual voicework and even the director of the Goldeneye film directs the gameplay. The graphics are still passable but something I didn't remember is the extreme slowdown during lots of on-screen explosions or action. It can take quite a bit outta the game and cause the shooting of your weapon a slight delay or lag. Not a complete game changer but certainly takes a point away from an otherwise excellent game.
Super Metroid...
One of the major hurtles for this game is learning the materia system. The instruction book isn't as clear as it could be on how it works. Your best bet to understanding it is either listen to what the people in the game tell you about materia or, even better, mess around with it. I learned most of the tricks to materia by going into battle, using my materia, and then changing it and finding another battle. This not only helps you learn how the materia works but gives you experience as well.
3708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game shortly after high school, and was very immersed in it. In fact, I could not stop playing until I had finished it. The music is wonderful, and the graphics are good for what they represent. Character interaction is very detailed, with your choices affecting the game's ending. Battle is fun, and the storyline is worthwhile. I am aware they have made a remake, but I am more interested in replaying the genuine article!
AHH. Soul Calibur is a excellent game and I hope if you have a dreacast, BUY THIS GAME
7272 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 youve got space age mega-destructive demolition vehgicles.you are on timed boards where you go in and in destroy everything in sight! theres bombs,giant dump trucks that can take out buildings and much much more! the only pain in the butt is this stupid timed thing.if it weren't for the timer putting pressure on yoiu the whole time.this would be far less stressful.
9721 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it! Not only are the characters awesome, but you can create your own car AND there are some sweet Deathmatch levels that you'll have a blast eliminating your opponents on. All in all, a most worthwhile game in the series.
2938 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Happy
For the above stated reason, I must remove one star. Other than that, AOE2 is a game every discerning computer strategy gamer should have on their PC.
For you parents, most of the swearing is bleeped out but a few "choice" phrases are in there so give it a thought before you buy it for your kids. For those of you that don't have to worry about that, order a pizza, call over a few friends and throw on some South Park multiplayer. Have fun!
9900 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like this second version of Golden Axe for Sega Genesis. A lot of action and good gameplay. Thanks very much.
Right now, in 2012, if you're collecting N64 games for nostalgia's sake or for whatever , I'd say one of the console's Blitz games is a good and necessary investment. They're definitely "core" N64 games.. whatever that means. However, it's not the kind of football game you can really sit down and enjoy too too much by yourself. It's a lot of fun to just knock the daylights out of your friends in Blitz. But alas, the AI just can't provide the kind of reaction that makes it entertaining.
On the other hand, the visuals and music are amazing. The sprites are beautifully unique from all of the other games, comparable to a cartoon, or a picture book. The new Super FX chip is great, as well. Just watch a video of the title screen. It's fantastic.
As usual, weird stuff is happening around South Park like mad, killer turkeys are attacking the city, strange mutants are running around and crazy self propelled toys are out to get you as you take the baddest 8 year olds on the planet Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman on this strange, vulger and very gratuitous journey.
2484 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 All of your favorite classic nintendo characters have joined forces to decide who rules the Nintendo World? This awesome fighting game is like Mario and Mortal Kombat together. The great thing is that theres no real violence at all! Mario can perfect his fireball move, Fox McCloud can shoot his laser, Link can throw boomerangs and bombs, while little kirby can suck up players and steal there secret powers. All characters have different special attacks. They can all punch and kick, but they all throw, smash, pound, pummle, blast and burn diffrently. Also, items fall down from the sky that you can use againts your opponents. Pokeballs, (which actually contain several random pokemon that each do different things) swords, hammers, Maximum Tomatoes and fire-flowers all rain down so you can reign over everyone on the field. With an awesome multiplayer option, this is a sure Nintendo Classic. Try this game, you'll fall in love with it fast.
Where am I going with this, you ask? Well, I have probably played more racing games in my life than any other kind of game. I have played pretty much every kind of racing game in existance, from Gran turismo and Rage racer on Playstation to Hydro Thunder and Star Wars Episode 1:Pod Racer on Dreamcast, fron Diddy Kong on N64 to F-Zero and Mario Kart on Super Nintendo. And I am here to tell you that this one of the best racing games ever made, not just on Playstation, but on any system.
Enjoy, as I have.
1948 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Beat the first yet? If you have, then jump right ahead to the second masterpiece in the series.
In this game you have two CD's. One CD is for the Leon adventure, and the other CD is for the Claire adventure. You can choose to start the game with either Leon or Claire. To do the game completely you have to beat the game twice with Leon and twice with Claire. I've only ever played this game on easy and I had a blast. I'm sure on normal it's quite harder, maybe so hard you can't think straight and become dumb. Of course you aren't dumb, it's just that video games can confuse you sometimes.
Not many games
5685 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 i got this game and didn't really play it my brother mostly did and he said is was an awesome game until you get to near the end of the second disc and it freezes at a boss
Donkey Kong Country
5814 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a GREAT game even for the beginner. Graphics are good. After the tutorial there are many campaigns to choose from or you can follow the scenario. Highly recommended.
2109 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The 1st game into the life of Gabe Logan,wow. I love to imitate his voice and imagine me being him because he's so cool lol. Fun fun game and among the best of the PS1 era.
First off we have the graphics. They are not 3d accelerated but they are very good and they get the job done.
As a loyal fan of the Hitman franchise, I waited years for this. I would have loved if they had added driving into the game in order to rival Saints Row or the GTA series etc. What they did add took away from the game. For instance they should have kept the semi-open-worlds of Blood Money and build-on those beautiful sets, maps and locations.
9123 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Space Invaders certainly is a fun arcade classic (To think it came all the way from the late 70s), and it clearly shows that through its simplistic, yet enjoyable gameplay. A 2-Player Vs Mode to see who can kill the aliens faster is a nice addition to the faithful adaptation.
Plot:+++
3718 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I must say....this game is alot of fun, there are many many many endings so replay value is great. I thought I would hate it, I don't care much for the "sprite" type char but after playing for just a hour , making your own weapons, food, goods........ well it was a blast. I would buy this !...... an well I have :)
One of the best features is that the monsters aren't "typical" sword 'n sorcery fare. In other words, don't come looking for orcs, goblins, giants, etc. While the bestiary of AC obviously derives from these fantasy fiction archetypes, it develops them differently, adding to the strong sense that one is truly in an "unknown world."
Pokemon Red sold 4.83 million in the United States, so this qualifies as an underrated game, due to selling under 5 million units. If you want to buy the best Game Boy game ever, this is where you will find it. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS! This should have gotten a "Game Of The Year" reward or two, but this (near) perfect masterpiece NEVER got it. A true Pokemon fan has this gem in his/her collection. However, one thing. Some of these might be worn out (discolored label, multiple scratches on the back, etc.) due to being so great of a game. Don't say I didn't warn you.
5748 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was infused with love and mystery. Definately my favorite addition to the series so far. Even though it is a regular playstation game, it is well worth the buy.
8487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it hats all I'm gonna say
Chester Cheetos adventure...yeah ok..thats not a classic but it's still fun!
+ epic and emotional soundtrack
1645 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Namco Museum 3 (third in a series of five collections of old arcade hits) hits some high and low spots, but is well worth the purchase price for three games. The best of the lot is the translation of Ms Pac-Man - very faithful to the original. Galaxian is highly addictive and equally faithful to the original. Most people don't give Dig-Dug the credit it's due - it is very entertaining - even for adults. I rather liked Dig-Dug in the arcades, and this is a good rendition. On the other hand, "Phozon" and "Tower of Druga" are very forgettable, "Tower" the most worthless of the lot. Still well worth buying just for the excellent Ms Pac Man.
Alright, this game was somewhat of a game changer both for video games, and myself.
Music: 8/10
This card is great, holds a ton of memory, the most you'll need really. Haven't had a problem with it since. Fairly sturdy for what it is.
9693 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game. It's really fun. It's completely different every round, capturing better pokemon pictures, and experimenting with pokeflutes, pokefood and pester balls and seeing the reaction to different pokemon. But i'll say it again: Not worth purchasing. I rented it and the [price] was worth it. The [Price] is not worth this game that gets old within a week. You already know all the secrets, you have a gazillion pictures of pokemon, you may of even printed them on stickers, i mean your through. Its a real fun game and I love it but it's not worth more than [price]to keep.
Yes this game is survival horror royalty. Get it, I don't care what system you get it for, but just get it.
(Before that, the Dragon Warrior games had battle head-on)
There have been other R-type games, but none of them have reached the level of perfection of the first two games.
2234 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I have used many third party expansion packs and they all have failed. They have caused my console to crash and have experienced other issues. I now am using the Nintendo brand expansion pack and have never had problems since.
SOUND:Cars,guns,and radio sounds are awesome. Voice sounds are annoying.
The controls are challenging, and to someone who doesn't want to take the time getting used to it impossible. However, when you buy an RPG you want a challenge, and Tomb Raider delivers that on all levels. As far as game control goes, it will definitely take some patience to learn the many skills Lara can do. She can do a variety of things like different jumps, flips, crawling, fighting moves, etc. If you have no patience, this game will drive you crazy. It really is a shame that some people tear down this game, when they have no idea what they are talking about. Who wants to play an RPG with no challenge, not me. This game takes time to learn how to master the acrobatic moves, fighting moves, jumps, etc. I like that, and if challenge is what you want, this delivers. Once you learn how the controls operate, you realize it is quite easy to use.
The game's pacing is good. So far, it has yet to become bogged down by some stupid plot point. The game makes you want to see what the next level holds in store.
Heavily scarred and tattooed, your character, the Nameless One, awakes on a mortuary slab and the first sound you hear is the smart mouthed floating skull, Morte, the first of your companions on of your journey. Morte is a floating repository of knowledge, which is just as well since it turns out you've died, come back to life and lost your memory ... again. When Morte translates the tattoos on your back, you get the first clues about the cycle of life and death you've become trapped in. In your search as an amnesiac immortal to find out what's been happening to you and who is behind it all, you get to explore and meet many of the strange denizens of the Planes, performing quests in return for knowledge. Some of those who know the most about your past consent to join you - it would be great if the party size could accommodate all of them.
Eight special weapons are readily available and there's something for every taste, from the heat-seeking Wasp ("You can run, but you can't hide!") to the lightsaber-like Blade ("I don't need no Force to kick your sorry butt!") to the no-nonsense, wallop-packing Cannon ("JUST DIE!!!!"). Plus, there are four others (each a sort of variation on one of the ubiquitous eight) hidden throughout the game.
The gameplay is just plain amazing. It's a simple way of playing: move, perform an action, and choose the direction you face. It's also complex enough to require a well thought strategy, thus where the word "Tactics" comes into play. Random battles are actually random; they don't have a specific pattern, compared to other Final Fantasy games. Also, there's a deep class system called the "Job System". This is a legendary component of one of the Final Fantasy games, FFV. You can customize each member of your party to your style of play, and at the beginning of each battle, you are allowed to place up to 5 members in a specific place. You also have guest members which stay in your party until you get to a certain part of the game. Most of these guests can become permenant members of your party, which is actually good since there's one character that you can get that's really worth getting. There's also side-quests that allow you to get hidden characters, including Cloud Strife from FFVII.
3747 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How complicated must it be for Sega to make a game on a console that's still in development at the same time? And yet, the final game is a smash hit that happens to be pretty top-notch. They've pulled through then, I guess.
proxy mines ( blue mines that surprises your friend), "golden" magnum( one shot and your head is red).
Overall, a great game with lots of RPGing. Five stars and more. You will love.
Having been playing alot of Desktop Tower Defense games lately, I thought I would upgrade to a true RTS game. Starcraft kept coming up high on everyone's favorite list, so I thought I'd give it a try.
The only people you will actually interact with at all in the game are the aforementioned Altus, Sirrus, and Achernar. This leads me to my one and only complaint about the game. I wish the Millers had spent a little more money to hire some better actors to play these roles, as all three of them are badly overacted. But, that's a minor gripe. Altus' acting is so bad, it's actually funny.
I'm trying to remember the almost mystical sensation I got as a child first playing this, a light-year-leaping paradigm-shifting moment of complete perfection, the first of the SNES batch. I can almost remember the contours of the feeling, but I can't live it again: it's hallowed. That's fine--the child knew it at least.
Missions are very fun to play
Gameplay: Addicting to say the least. Having trouble putting down the controller until you can leave Midgar? No one is judging you here. The game mechanics are flawless in what they provide in terms of gameplay. Sure, you could always add more, but why fix what isn't broken in this masterpiece? Grinding might seem a little annoying, but it's not about leveling your character up to be twice as strong as the end level boss. The battles are all about strategy, which is understandable why many don't comprehend that. You level up your character, level up materia, swap items, prepare accessories and weapons, earn proper amounts of gil from battles, sell mastered materia, find stronger weapons and armor, mingle with townsfolk, decide how you want to treat an ally, breed and race Chocobos, go on mini side quests, partake in a few hilarious main quests, and all of it feels rewarding. The replayability is on high for this because you can always go back and make different choices in another playthrough, or just relive the story and imagination. One disc wasn't enough to pack such massive gameplay as it required a full three for the mighty Playstation hardware. Don't think you have beaten the game if you haven't beaten Emerald or Ruby WEAPON either. It doesn't end with just Sephiroth.
Twisted Metal 3: In this installment twisted goes for a much more realistic driving feel for the cars. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing but to most fans it just wasn't as fun. This was 989 studios first attempt to make a twisted metal game and fans trying out twisted metal for the first time tend to be the only fans that like 3 the best. However a few of the early twisted metal fans like 3 better but the game play turned off a large percentage of fans so this one is hit or miss try it you might like it best or you might not like it at all. In the end 989 failure to appeal to a large amount of the fans of the franchise put twisted metals popularity into a downward spiral.
Cartoonish graphics are a bit dated.
Game is 10/10 GOTYAY

6242 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always loved this system! Phenomenal quality!
4816 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't own this game, but have played it in school. I haven't played the campaign missions, but have played multiplayer almost everyday for 2 months. The graphics are dated, but that isn't where the fun is. For me it is the fast paced-ness of the game that keeps me hooked. Unlike most RTSs I have played, each misson doesn't have to take an hour and a half to complete. If you know how to build, it can take you 5 minutes to defeat a game aginst a single computer opponent. You can also build crazily, and go like that, or you can develop a strategy and either way, you stand a chance of winning.
8051 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came in great condition and worked as suppose to. Wanted to get this game cause I loved Super Mario when I was younger and now I can play it whenever.
Big - Big is a pretty lame downside to this game. He's slow, and you have to go fishing for things. It's as fun as described, and I certainly don't want to go back to playing as him. Sadly, you have to beat the game as all characters if you want to fight the actual last boss, Perfect Chaos, so........
The bosses aren't that difficult, the only bosses that ever given me problem are Bowser (of course) and the 5 (4?) dinosaurs that stands on some wooden thingies.
What more is there to say? This game proves that all good sequels are made like this. The game simply builds MASSIVELY upon what its predecessor had to offer, which to me was nothing more than introducing the franchise. There is much more to do, enjoy, and look forward to - which is the primary foundation for any good sequel. Any negatives this game may have do not come to mind which is why I haven't mentioned them. Even so, they most likely would be trivial anyway. Needless to say this is a must have for any Kirby fan, and anyone looking to get their retro gaming fix.

5880 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Good gravy... This is the absolute worst game that I have ever played in my entire life. Not that the game was even that bad, but... It never lived up to its own hype. I have played all of the Final Fantasy games... Since I beat the very first game, I have been a loyal follower and a ruthless critic. I cherished IV, and I absolutely LOVE VI, which is indeed the very best one in the entire series in terms of story and music. And Final Fantasy VII blew my mind... The Final Fantasy... In a whole different perspective, with three dimensions on the battlefield. When FFVIII came out, I already had a copy reserved... I held the glowing package in my hands, looked at the back of the cover and drooled over the beautiful graphics, and in my head I could imagine the enchanting score that my ears would soon be treated to. But as my best friend and I put the disk in and beheld Final Fantasy VIII... There was a voice screaming in my head... My mind kept saying something to me over and over again as I walked through Balamb Garden... And then my friend said that very thought: "Jay, this game sucks." Yes, it does. This game is a disgrace to the series. A storyline that is so slow, so pointless that you actually look forward to the battle sequences? There was no Final Fantasy VIII Theme! The battle theme and the boss theme pale in comparison to the vicious relentless music of the FFVII Score. There was not one piece of music that ever persuaded me to continue the journey. The disgustingly weak plot was made tolerable only by the CG movies. The character development was never there. Never did we ever find out why Seifer was such a jerk. ...Or WHY the GFs (Ha, ha) erased the memories of the characters. The lead character, Squall, answered every single question with the word "whatever." Compare that to the strong-willed, heartbroken Cloud from FFVII, and it becomes obvious. Allow me to say one more thing: Final Fantasy VI gripped me. I captivated me with a spell that bound me. I played, played, and played that silly game, with it's cute 16 bit graphics, as if I were possessed. The same goes for VII. I wanted to know what was going to happen next at that moment. I got as far as the mission to Timber in FFVIII, and never gave it a second glance. Only a year later, after exams were done in college, with no car or friends around... Did I pull Final Fantasy VIII out again to give it a second chance. How sad. The only time I ever cried over a video game was when Aeris died in Cloud's arms... But when I first played Final Fantasy VIII, I know that I wanted to just bawl.
Blizzard has a different philosophy than most gaming companies. They continue to work on a game until they believe it is a first class product. They provide added value like a game editor that you can use to create better missions than the professional ones created in the game. Not to mention, the server network Battle Net, that allows game owners with simple Internet connections to login, and play online with up to 8 players, for no additional charge! Yes that's right Ultima and Everquest players, it's still totally free to play online!
780 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I own a playstation but i hardly think it's that great a console. Blame it on the N64 for their exceptional games- but i do believe that the Playstation may have some hope left in it.
9731 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As most already know twisted metal is a car combat game collect weapons and destroy your enemies as you drive pretty simple idea that can definitely be fun....
4448 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't get me wrong: I enjoyed this game from front to back. It has graphics that, while not amazing, you won't be confused about anything visually. The sound, however, should be award winning. It is simply magnififcent and gives you the feel of combat (when the combat music is playing, of course).
8114 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Given the history of previous games based on the Star Trek license, I didn't have high hopes for this game. That's why I was really blown away when I finally played it.
Despite all the negative reasons i have listed above and the anti-climatic, seemingly rushed ending, this is still a very fun game. It keeps some weapons and adds innovative new ones. It keeps almost all the old aliens and adds brilliant new ones, and action sequences that are difficult and entertaining.
1330 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great!
9343 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've beat the Pokemon elite four countless times and caught 150 once. The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening is the next childhood game I am still trying to beat. I lost the game and so I bought it here on Amazon. It keeps me busy searching for everything that I need to go from one dungeon to the next.
6377 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Delta Force 1 was a great new addition in the first-person-shooter genre. The experience of fighting outdoors, being able to see hundreds of feet away, ducking behind bushes, hiding out on a hilltop and sniping people far away from you ... it's one of the best online experiences I've ever had. Now we have Delta Force 2 ... and nothing much has changed. Some new weapons, new maps, and new single player missions. Unfortunately, the graphics are more demanding, causing slowdowns on many machines. If you have a 32-bit 3D card, you're lucky - those are the only ones the game accepts as of now. All in all, this is still a great game with the best online action around - I recommend it!
R4 is an arcade racer, so people who prefer sim games (or who >>think<< they do) may not like it. However, as a car nut myself with all these racing games, sometimes having less realism and more fantastic cars is the best gaming medicine. R4 has much variety, creative fantasy cars, and an actual personality (its refreshing to drive a jet-powered racer; or how 'bout that winnable 1-speed 191-mph 3-ft econocar!).
600 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game when I first played it (I still play it even today) the graphics where awsome, the sound was cool, the levels where all kinds of stratageys and the expansion pack worked great with it. The cheats to fly the falcon, tie fighters, naboo fighter ect all made the game even better. There is even a secret little mini game where you can control a Chicken Walker (AT-ST) and shoot up some droids and buildings in a small space.
8384 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Hey I'm a bit of a Trekkie, but this games is something of a (terrible) dissapointment. Is it just me, or are a lot of people trying to make money utilizing the magnificent star trek universe? Don't waste your money on this :(
- Lots of old fashion block pushing
3547 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There's no greater case for questioning "why" and "what if" than the Dreamcast. Everything you can say about this system has been said 100x over. Underrated, overlooked, before it's time, revolutionary. The list goes on and on. It all adds up to fun anyway.
Conquer Enemies
- private actions
Overall, Star Ocean 2 brings best of new and old-school RPG. I just can't wait to play Star Ocean 3, and hope to see Blue Sphere in US. (I reset the machine many times just to listen the opening theme)
The graphics are dated now, obviously, but back in 1998 we've never SEEN anything like this before. Outside on the streets is nighttime, and the lights in the police station are dim and just as scary and fitting. It's hard to believe how real the atmosphere is. The only negative is that the music isn't quite as good as you've probably read. Neither are the sound effects (except for the sounds those lickers make). Silent Hill has the game beat in this area.
My only complaint is that the box comes full. I have other guides and Zelda books like the historia book that I can't cram inside it with the others, but that's ok. They need to sell the chest on it's own as I could fill another chest with the Zelda guides I already have.
9500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it came on time an thats what i love the most ha ha and it was a great deal !
The sounds and music are also sounding different. Well, the music is carried over from MegaMan on the NES, but different 8-Bit instruments are used. Some sound effects are totally different, such as the Mega Buster sounds.
7987 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good product, good price, fast shipping.

9729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is somewhat underrated. It's not as good as the other Twisted Metal games, but it's still pretty good. Though I don't really view it as a Twisted Metal game, more of it's own thing.
Nice graphics, nice sounds, atrocious game mechanics. Wait for the improved version, or play it on the net.
Cons:
6959 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fun game to play.
The Saturn version has a couple things that the Playstation version doesn't have, so don't worry Saturn fans! Exclusive to the Saturn version includes an extra move for the Undertaker (in this version, you can deliver multiple chokeslams to your opponent - you can't do this on the Playstation version) and plus the Saturn version was created so you can perform finishing moves whenever you want, whereas in the Playstation version they can only be delivered during one-on-one matches. It doesn't matter how many people you are facing on the Saturn version, you can deliver finishing moves at the end of every match, if you'd like.
One other aspect of "Super Mario 64" that makes it standout is its use of rotating camera angles to track Mario's movements through each world. It takes some getting used to, but it enables a truly three dimensional feel. This is game that Nintendo built its release of Nintendo 64 around. It delivered magnificently then and, with its continual replay value, still delivers today.
Graphics 9+/10 Some Pokemon look better than others.
sigh...where do you find best FF ever from this game? Its not even close to the top 3. was it fun? yes. did it make RPG's popular in the states? Yes (although i prefer some of the other games that came out on the PS at the time, such as wild arms, suikodin, and revelations persona, more entertaining). but the best? not even close. although i have to say it is better than 8.
4751 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quite simply this is quite possibly the best game ever made, period. By taking the standard formula which Super Metroid perfected on the Super Nintendo, of finding items and opening up new areas, Castlevania Symphony of the Night excels on every level to combine and create the most significant game accomplishment, in my opinion ever made. By using the standard side scrolling elements of the classic games from the 8 bit days and combining them with some of the lushest and most breathtaking visuals and special effects, the hand drawn effect that this game creates rivals almost any game on the original Playststion. The music is etheral accomplishment and ranks at the top of my best soundtracks for a game ever, joining the ranks of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, and Silent Hill 2 as some of the most noticeable and well done music to ever pass through the gaming world. The music combines orchestra type composure in a rock opera vibe that fits every single enviroment so well that you will never dread entering any area, in fact you wil even find yourself backtracking to previous areas just to hear this music again (By the way I own the soundtrack, thats how damn good this games music is.) The gameplay is some of the best ever in a game, incorporating all the classic elements of the Castlevania series, and combining them with experience and equipping items from Role Playing Games to form a natural bond that still makes me wonder why more developers have not tried to make a game like this (probably due to the fact that few could accomplish what Konami has done with this game). The only weak part of this game is the voice acting which literally sucks (pun intended) it seems like they picked people who were overly ambitious in their voice acting skills, and I'm sure the dialogue was bad because of the Japanes to English translation when it was brought stateside. Beyond that though if you buy this game I can guarantee you will not be dissappointed. Every boss fight, every encounter, everything about this game pushes it leaps and bounds ahead of the competion. No 3dimensional game I have ever played can crete the sheer passion and joy of controlling Alucard; his movements and actions are graceful and even just picking up the HP max ups is a chilling experience. This game cannot be missed, and I guarantee that I will still play this game when I am like 50 years old and wondering what in the hell happenned to the artistry and pure skill that a two dimensional "old-school" game can pull off and achieve so well.
7. good save game feature that lets you save off the game after EACH fight.
Shadow
As Alucard, you fight Dracula's evil minions while exploring the castle and the ground upon which it sits. The castle itself is made up of main halls, a church, a bell tower, a courtyard, and a library, among other things. Under ground are the abandoned mine and the catacombs. Things get even more interesting when or if you get to an upside-down version of the castle, where you face an evil grim reaper in earth "above" the castle, and eventually Vlad himself.
Xenogears (PSX)
The puzzles in GK3 are generally a mix of standard inventory-based, timed activity, and arcade. Often you have to wander around a lot to figure out what you need to do next. One particular puzzle stands out as one of the best thought-out and most complex puzzles I've ever come across in gaming. In it you must solve a riddle by analyzing and linking various inventory items. It's a very long puzzle and some people might find it frustrating, but it was the thing that really caught and held my interest. If all I have to do is talk to people and find inventory items, I don't feel like I've really done anything. There's plenty of that in GK3, but you also have to stretch your brain.
2148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
9393 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best video games based of of a movie for its time. The Lion King is for children but there are some parts that can take some time to get past. I would suggest this for anyone. When i was a kid this was my favorite game as a kid and it is still a good game now.
My oh my. The championship mode on this game has got to be one the greatest racing experiences that can be had on a game console. You have two view modes, both of them PERFECT. You have car customization, but not the boring, confusing, time wasting sort that has become common nowadays. You have SEGA arcade-style music, which I happen to love. You fantastic slip-and-slide physics which make controling the cars a blast. You have TONS of different variations on the race tracks (every one of them a perfect example of AWESOME track design). And lastly, you have some of the most beautiful graphics in any racing game ever. Honestly, the first time I raced a track at sunset, I was OVERJOYED that I didn't get rid of this game when I considered doing it. The most beautiful graphics in any racing game can (in my humble opinion) be found in the original Wipeout, and this game.
2617 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The GameBoy Color (picture is a Pocket?) is a pricelessly entertaining handheld, for a retro gamer like myself. Blast from the past!
1. The game plays a lot like a movie, with certain decision points at which you choose how to act (these moments are clearly signaled in the game). There were enough of these to make it feel pretty interactive, but not nearly so many as in a traditional graphic adventure.
2819 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Clearly one of the most innovative and fun platformers of its time. This game introduced the DUALSHOCK analog controls for the original PlayStation. It offered much more control in a 3D space than anything else at the time. Plus, you get all these amazing gadgets to catch monkeys! The monkeys have obtained these helmets that cause them to act out in ways not normal for primates. Its your mission to utilize your skills and gadgets to get them all back to the lab to restore order to the world. The core gameplay is surprisingly fun and you use the gadgets directionally with the right analog stick. This makes the method to catching each monkey unique. It also featured an awesome unlock system if you explored the game world enough and found the Specter coins. You could use the coins to buy mini games to play when you're tired of looking for them darn monkeys. The voice acting isn't perfect, but what PS1 games touted the most amazing voice acting you've ever heard? The graphics are very good for the PlayStation, very colorful and bright with a surprising amount of detail gone into all the different levels with varying themes. This game was created by none other than the legendary Sony Japan Studio behind so many other unique and iconic games. It had direct involvement with Shuhei Yoshida himself! This is truly a classic in the PlayStation library that should be experienced by anyone who considers themselves a fan of platformer/action/adventure games. It's a shame this series doesn't get the recognition it deserves today.
The game has spawned countless websites, fan-clubs, mutli-player tournaments, championships, novels, DVDs, action figures...you name it, and Starcraft has been there at one point in time or the other...and it has reigned supreme. Good, even Great games come and go, but Starcraft is the one RTS game that you will forever remember.
5170 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The 2nd installment in the series that debatably started it all. Memorable moments and stealth-action are found when playing this gem.
2953 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love this game! I've never played it before, but I'm glad I finally got around to purchasing this! I didn't pay the nearly $200 copy, I would assume that was a brand spanking new copy, so I just picked up a used copy, even though I ended up with the Greatest Hits version, which is slightly censored and has more mature parts cut out, unlike the original release which is completely uncensored and uncut, I'm still happy, especially since the previous owner took VERY good care of it as it still looks brand new! I'll look up those cut parts up later, which I'm pretty sure had absolutely no impact on the story anyway but it would be nice to see everything as intended. Well, I'm about 8 hours into the game and I'm absolutely loving it so far, and since this is a JRPG, I know I'm just getting started! :)
Graphics A-
3337 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've reviewed the later-released Game Boy Advance version of this game a while back, but this is THE real deal. I may have recommended the other version, but this original is infinitely better, making the other one look like crap. My Playstation library certainly isn't big, but I know for a fact that you need this game!
4389 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought StarCraft about three years ago and it's still my favorite multiplayer strategy game! This is the best strategy game I think that is available now. You can chose from 3 different unique races and this game has an amazing storyline. For double the ammount of fun you can play on Battle. Net (free multiplayer service). Battle.net is what keeps this game going because you can play any game you like including paintball to deathmatches. This game is so amazing it even comes with a campaign editor so you can create your own games and play it with other people! I just wanted to say that I gave this game 5 stars because of it's amazing graphics, unique strategy, free multiplayer service, and a campaign editor. StarCraft is still my favortie game even after 3 years! I say buy this game!

5. You need to play this game before you dye.
Also Personality stats:
The music 1st of all is awesome, they use origonal music from origonal games, it starts off with the P1's 1st Character music, like if P1's 1st character is Mega-Man, then it starts off with Mega-Mans Music Used in the game, then after a character is killed the next character to pop up has his/her music played, like if Mega-Man is K.O.ed then the 2nd characters music for that team plays. The SFX rule, they are so good, thats all there is to say. The voice overs are perfect in every way and couldn't be any more precice to the characters.
1240 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is and was the best wrestling game ever and the big bonus is it's WCW/NWO not WWE so all the wrestlers are awesome!
4241 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit that my copy of Gabriel Knight 3 sat on my shelf for over a year before I felt like playing it all the way through. This was because I did not like the 3-D graphics this time around; after all, some of the "movies" on Gabriel Knight 2 were superb and you just can't get that with 3-D. I still don't like the 3-D graphics, but once I started playing this game seriously I was hooked again. The historical background stuff is always fascinating to me and any game in which a tube of Preparation H plays a part is always going to impress me. I hate to think what sort of individual could play this game without resorting to hints and cheats, although they would have to be somebody with a lot more time on their hands than I am. There is always some point where I need some help finding out what I missed out on that prevents me from advancing to the next time block (I didn't pick up the glass in the hallway and now I can't listen in on conversations going on in the rooms. Sigh). I like Tim Curry as much as the next person, but it doesn't sound like him so his return is not a big deal for me (I liked the guy in GK2). What's more important here is the wry sense of humor: Can't get somebody to talk? Try the gun icon, see what happens. I have to assume most people who play "Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" come to the game through one if not both of the first two Gabriel Knight adventures. In that case I certainly do not think you will be more than mildly disappointed with episode 3.
Then, I got the PS2 and the MadCatz MC2 steering wheel. The wheel will NOT work with GT3. Among other things, GT3 has limited camera angles and just a few of the cars that THIS game has.
a bit too many puzzles
I love this game because it can be intense, running from Scissor man. The controls are click and point and take a little getting used to but overall this game is up there with Resident Evil 1, Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill as one of the best in the survival horror genre.
8343 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 so I looked online and it says that those of you hearing little rattles inside, yes that's also a battery thing. guess that's why it was glitching out and wouldn't save. I don't have the ability to replace it. or work on this game at all. this looks like a shipping problem to me.
Magic System : I really don't like the fact that whenever you use your magic, you weaken yourself.
This year, the well known little sequal to the foundering Ages of Empire has been seen by some as one of those few RTS games that will breath new life into an old genre. In my opinion, it's a great game, but it's still got all the same RTS components.
Starcraft and the expansion Broodwar, still generate a daily complement of 40000 players, online at any one time, playing in thousands of games. I'm sure the newest games like Warcraft III, and Diablo II is providing the lions share of overall traffic on Blizzards server farms. Still, Starcraft is a game going on six years of relatively strong viability. The reasons why are simple.

9127 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This system is amazing. It immediately brought me back to the good old days of all of the neighborhood kids going from house to house to play golden eye. I still have my original system and all the games, but I had to have the jungle green set up. I love it. Obviously, the graphics aren't amazing, but if you're anything like me, you have so many memories enjoying this system that it won't matter.

5986 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Blizzard has done it again. They have created another ADDICTIVE game for gamers all over the world to drool over. ADDICTIVE pretty much sums up the gameplay for Diablo II, one of the hottest RPG's on the market.
671 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy 7 is yet another gold brick in the shimmering castle of Squaresofts frequent triumphs. You will fall in love with the characters, you'll wish you could jump right into the world. The game's events are structured very well(except for the ever-present "level up before the final boss" stage of the game). The graphics are wonderful in their own right. It's just as deep and enthralling as any Final Fantasy should be.
8468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Phenomenal game. Pick up Super Street Fighter II though, more solid all around.
16 years had passed since there was an official sequel to the original NES game Excitebike. Fans of the original game rejoiced as they got to experience the sweet taste of the speed and power that Excitebike 64 had to offer. And if I remember correctly the game featured real-life dirt bike brands (which in the end made the game feel more realistic).
I used to love to use cheats on the PC version, and with this 64 version, there are a couple of cheats, but there's none to walk through walls which I do miss.

Two games were released along with the system. There was Pilotwings 64, which was not exactly what was expected, but the other game was called the greatest game of all time (as of 1996, that is, at least in the eyes of critics) by several source. And it really was.
The framerate is so slow and choppy I just decided that, after walking into a wall for the millionth time, it was time to put this game in the trash. When you walk into a wall, Duke stops moving completely and just stands there like an idiot. You will walk into a wall ALL the time because it's so hard controlling Duke. Some people might put this game is the garbage because of the bad example it sets for kids, but others (like me) threw it away because a challenge should NEVER lie in just trying to move your character from point A to point B. Please, avoid this horrible waste of plastic.
Sega done well with the Dreamcast because they did the opposite of Sega Saturn when it comes to games. The games are diverse and range to platform games to 2d/3d fighters and action adventures and most of them are still are not bad and look similar to a PS2 game. I think Sega was targeting people with this system that wanted arcade style games while Sony did the same,but with a dvd player. In 2002 Sega stop making systems after the PS2 out sold the Dreamcast at sales,but now it is just a software company instead which I am glad they are still around. I recently bought a Hori PS2 joystick and used a PS adapter and it's way more fun than using the DC controller. I would highly advise everyone that doesn't already have the DC arcade stick to get an Hori arcade joystick or X-Arcade stick and a PS adapter to get to the whole arcade feel. The DC system has mostly arcade fighting games,so people that don't like this system probably don't like fighting games.
It's nothing major usually, such as a minor typo or grammatical error in the script.
All in all, the story line is really great, and the cliff-hanger ending has left me waiting for the next release. Enjoy!
The game interface is very intuitive and easy-to-learn. With a simple click of the mouse, you go from pleasant chat to battle mode. Choose hand-to-hand combat, ranged weapons, or cast magic.
-Bad and poorly thought-out voice-acting (Listen to X's voice!)
The game is relatively easy, but the frantic excitement it creates will make you play it over and over again.
So many great things to say about this game but there is one flaw that made me give it 4.5 stars...the graphics get crazy ass choppy when there is a lot of action going on. This is especially true when you have 4 human players and 8 bots playing in the same match or when you get punched in the face as the screen gets blurry to mimic your vision after it happens to you in real life. If you don't have it and you love FPSs, get this game and be sure to have the expansion pack or you won't get to play everything. ********HIGHLY RECOMMENDED********
7203 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best PS1 games ever. So simple yet so difficult and frustrating. I almost prefer this one over the first Oddworld. Definitely a game worth checking out if you are a PS1 fan. The story is engrossing, the gameplay is spot on, and the cutscenes are awesome. I'm always astounded looking back at how good the graphics were for PS1 games during cutscenes.
I also get a tired of too much repitition. Every battle I set my formation up, pause, issue relatively the same commands, and execute. (In Everquest, I only went up to Level 12 and quit, thinking, what's the point?) So the combat is repetitive, but in Baldur's defense, it does have a storyline and an ending, unlike Everquest. But it is time consuming. But if you can afford the time, and you like RPG's, then you'll love this title, otherwise, spend your gaming money elsewhere.
9290 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably the best of all of the original Gameboy games. The game pushed the capabilities and limits of the Gameboy 4MB cartridge. Link's Awakening was an exceptional game that came out in 1993. Link's Awakening deserves all the praise the game is wonderful. Play control is great, classic overhead view like LOZ NES and LOZ ALTTP SNES game. Pretty nice challenge not a cakewalk. Nice dungeon layouts and puzzles. The game has a lot of characters and monsters also seen in ALTTP but plenty of new and refreshing new bosses and enemies/allies as well. There is not a lot to say that has not already been said. I did think finding all the seashells was kind of annoying after awhile it would have been cool to get a different prize and get the sword upgrade by beating another boss somewhere on the map. But overall the game has a nice story and the creators really did a nice job on the game. The game is definitely 5 stars and worth your time playing whether in black and while or not it doesn't matter. They don't make em like they used to.
4443 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was really surprised by this controller. I have bought 3rd party controllers in the past and they have been really flimsy. But this one is pretty damn close to an actual SNES controller.
1. Weak closer dungeon (as I spent a good time detailing up above).
I got that game the day it came out and it did not dissapoint
2430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was as good as it gets for N64. Original Super Smash is great to come back too.
Overall, this is a great collection for anyone who grew up playing video games in the 80s. For those who are too young to remember Atari, the game is nice to play because of its retro and anything retro is cool.
5180 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 "I am only left asking, "how long until Daikaitaina 2? "" - Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!
There are two ways to to do this, you must pick Mario as your character and you must go to Hyrule Castle as a stage (you can fight any opponent you want). At Hyrule Castle, get your chosen opponent to the top wooden platform, and then push him or her off of the platform on the left side. Then, spawn as many green shells as you can on the right side of the platform. From here, go to the middle platform and go to the edge of the left side, facing left. Do Mario's Up + B move - if done correctly, your opponent's percentage will go up to 999%. Then, simply wait a second, and knock your opponent off the screen. The other way that takes longer, but is easier. Just select any chracter that shoots projectiles, like mario, luigi, and fox then keep hurting your opponent at the practice level of any selection until they get 999% and after hit the opponent and see them fly like a missle.
The Bad: Feels nothing compared to today's GT games, doesn't have as much content as most racers these days, due to its age it doesn't feel like a racing simulator anymore, no car damage
It starts off as your average civ-building game with the five crashed faction colonies setting up separately. As one of the faction leaders, you have particular bonuses. You start off with a town, a couple technologies, and you're off and running trying to build up your tech tree, economy, military, and lots of cities.
2801 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just played it in April of 2002 and it stands up over time as the best adventure game ever made! Superb.
6685 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love Pokmon, Links Awaking, and Super Mario Land 2. But this is my personal favorite Original Gameboy game. When it came out it blew people's minds and it still does to me. People may have their opinions but this has to be on any gameboy system! But it has aged no save, and no color are the big ones. It is weird Mario game with no Bowser, Peach, or even Luigi. There are only 4 worlds but they're hard! Everybody should at least try. Me: 5+/5 For Everyone: 4.6+/5
Your animals buddies also increase, with the help of a springy snake and a web-making spider. Squawks, Rambi, and Enguarde also come back, better than ever!
2. The hints usually aren't so clear as to what you're supposed to do in most levels.
But we still have our memories and even better, many of us still have our Dreamcasts. A true testament to a console and games of the past is how well they hold up today. Many times, your memory serves you better than reality. I've experienced that many times with old games I used to like. But many of these are still alot of fun. Maybe not as much as they were at first but they can still provide a good time.
CONS:
The game takes time and is recommended for those that can devote 30min-1hour a day to the game.
3203 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Soul Calibur is a classic example of all icing and no cake! The game looks great and sounds great, but its too easy. The game that is supposed to be the game for "die hard fighting fans" is basically a walk in the park. The game is a button masher! I played the game and found that "turtling up" and waiting for the right time to attack or throw is all that it takes to succeed and it even works on the higher dificulty settings.
What Capcom should have done is to make a new version for the PS3, however, they did not, so the original will have to suffice...the graphics are poor by today's standards, but top-notch by 1997 standards. The fun factor and classicness of this game more than makes up for that shortcoming...as any serious gamer such as myself does not rate the graphics of a classic game by modern standards.
i get lots of laughs when watching someone plays the haunted house
Despite a few annoying sounds and no multiplayer mode, Super Mario 64 is really super!
Uh. Ahh. Eeek. The first problem with the pc version of Altered
All that said, I do love this game, but it's not easily playable. It brings solid graphics to the GameBoy, but the gameplay...if it is solid, perhaps we would better say that you'll need a jackhammer to scratch the surface of this particular rock.
Desert Eagle Shotgun
6625 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love games that make me think but don't require me to do a lot of little steps and remember a lot of details; I'll take an other college class for that. This game is constantly changing and you can plan out the big things yet still need to make adjustments so it doesn't get dull. That alliance you once had has been broken, not what do you do and still get to your next tech advance? I've decide I prefer to be the Spartans even if the Gaians are more in line with my own political views -- the goal is to win afterall.
If you still own a working Genesis and don't have this game or haven't played this game before, I recommend looking for it.
As for FF5, the story is rather weak, but the gameplay is really really good, thanks to the job system (like FF10-2). What I like to do with FF5 is to experiment:
1162 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is a game that is perfect it is so fun to play at times when the sun gos down u can do a lot of stuff in this game its very cool its got 20 hole hours of this game there are good ponits in this game very nice game GREAT MUSIC better then zelda 2 for the n64 this game has much more to have even if u think u have gotton all moneys and more u have much more for this game it is a must have n64 game lovers u will want this MASTER GAME for your system.
7329 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once getting used to this game it is quite enjoyable. Just wish it was analog enabled. Good game for an early playstation release.
666 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good condition and works fine.
6224 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks for being honest. It was perfect. Thanks again, everything was as describe.
Twisted Metal 4: This game still made by 989 studios and after twisted metal 3 alot of the people who would of liked this game were no longer interested in twisted metal this one goes back gameplay designed to be fast and fun. I would say compared to 1 and 2 the default characters you can chose from are less interesting and useful however you can create your own cars. I think it was this that makes or breaks the game if you found a car you enjoyed playing you would probably like twisted metal 4 if not then your likely to turn away from it and say its a bad game. This game attempted to incorporate features that would make hands down the best twisted metal and to some it was. This is the last twisted metal game for the playstation 1.
4983 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident evil and other horror games for the Playstation have NO match for this. This game has a very creepy vibe and keeps you questioning where you're going and what's around the corner. I'm not easily scared either. The story line is amazing! And the voice actors did a great job. Silent hill is a classic for this system, and I'm glad I bought it. If you have a dualshock controller, Harry's heartbeat is vibrated off the controller. It's amazing!!
The soundtrack is even better than that in the first game, and Masato Nakamura returns to create music in this game as well. Aside from having more levels and therefore more music tracks, a good deal of the music on here is better than in the first game (which still has great music). Standout tracks on here are for Chemical Plant, Aquatic Ruin, Casino Night, Mystic Cave, Metropolis, Sky Chase, Wing Fortress, and Death Egg (though for Death Egg, you only hear about four seconds of the music since you immediately go into one of the last boss battles). Death Egg is the perfect music to hear when you're in a high-tech spacecraft. Mystic Cave is worth mentioning because the opening melody is really reminiscent of the Inspector Gadget theme, and that the music itself is pretty creepy. Casino Night and Sky Chase have really relaxed, upbeat feelings to them.

*****THIS REVIEW WAS MEANT TO BE SARCASTIC AND SATIRICAL. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BUY THIS GAME!*****
well there ya go, only two cons and a handful fo pros. This a very great game and it started the horror game franchise. If you find this game somewhere definitely buy it!!! trust me it will scare anyone and i mean anyone.... no matter how brave you are...HEEHEH :D

2119 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Syphon Filter is a awesome game it was pretty advance in stealth reminded me of mg and splinter cell i only wish they would remake it and the others for ps3 with updated graphics
1. The graphics, animation, and sound for this game are excellent. Each room has a bunch of small objects to interact with, although most of them are things that you don't need. Still, if you want to, you can smash wine barrels for the heck of it and push rocks around.
6928 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Best Mortal Kombat of all time.
7476 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When Yoshi's Story came out, I was stoked thinking it was a 64-bit sequel to Yoshi's Island. I was SO WRONG. This game is aimed at 5-10 year old gamers. You go around "Chapters" collecting fruit in the levels to advance, thus levels have no actual exit. There's 4 areas in each chapter. 6 chapters calls for 24 total levels in the game. To make this game even more disappointing, when you finish one level (say 1-1), you'd think you go to 1-2, but no. Instead you go to Chapter 2. What the heck?! It turns out you have to find red hearts hidden in each level to unlock a level in the next chapter. To unlock all of Chapter 1's level you have to complete one level, die, then go back. It's a stupid setup. I was really hoping for a Yoshi's Island 2 type game here but this is Nintendo cashing in on their child fanbase. Basically, if you're older than 10, this game will be too childish for your liking.
The plot is weaved strongly through the course of the game. Many of your allies are found dead throughout the mission, consumed by the horrors of the mansion. Others are as desperate as ever to get out, while some are a bit too satisfied hanging around. The plot is advanced mostly through cut-scenes where characters interact with each other. The voices, as all know, are pretty hilarious (or bad, depending on your perspective). For the time, characters using voice-overs as opposed to text was revolutionary. Unfortunately, the voice acting didn't stand the test of time, and some of the more hilarious quips are almost inside-jokes among video game fans.
7068 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rocks!! I always liked bomberman but this game is the bomb! The levels are fun and provides hours of gameplay. The other thing is that the multiplayer rules!! You can battle with up to four of your friends. If you want a great game by a copy of this game now.
Really one of the best games I've ever played, and definitely the best PS1 game as far as entertainment value goes. I wish that Phil Hartman had lived to be the voice of Captain Blasto in a sequel! Did I mention the mazes being difficult? They'll have you pulling your hair out. It all takes place in a cartoonish universe full of tongue-in-cheek humor and obscure science fiction movie references. Or inferences. GREAT FUN!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I hope the PC version gets re-released some day. Or maybe i'll just get a PS version Rom, because MK trilogy is the best MK game ever... just not on the 64.
At the start of the game, you are allowed to choose a difficulty (more difficulties unlock with harder settings being beaten), select the amount of players you start with and choose your hero. There is up to 4 different characters to chose from. Alex (My Favorite and also on the Original SOR) has some devastating attacks, and is fairly agile. Blaze (also from Original SOR) is the definition of balanced, with average attack and agility. The game does bring 2 newcomers to the fray. Skate (names different depending on region), who is Adam's brother, is VERY fast and capable of doing some decent damage with his skates. Alex's friend Max is the last of the new characters. He is a professional wrestler who does the most damage in the game, but also has the slowest speed.
THE GOOD:
If this game came out in 2001, I think it would still be worthy on five stars. Consider when it DID come out, and ask yourself how you missed out on this one.
Soon now I must buy Mass Effect 3. I have no choice, for Greg and Ray (like Scylla and Charybdis) are calling my name.
- Non- traditional fighting gameplay, might alienate some more traditional fighting game fans
One the map...this game takes place north of the NCR area (Shady sands in fallout). If you yearn for a wonderful game where you can shoot humans, ghouls, sleep with a crim bosses daughter, or just shoot up some jet with 'lil jesus in New Reno (or perhaps tour the wonderful Golgotha cemetery, where people are either impaled on sticks or strung out for the birds), then pick up this game! Although you may want to play Fallout first...to get the full effect. I am awaiting Fallout III!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music, story and backgrounds are blended supurbly. This is truly an impressive production, but, like I say, I had my own personal misgivings of what I wanted. Still, my personal tastes shouldn't detract from what surely is quality game design.
CONS
The game is extremely simple to learn, yet there are quite a large amount of special moves to master. You will definitely require all those special moves when playing the most advanced levels or when facing more skilled human opponents.
2312 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For me, this game is just about as fun as Sonic Adventure 2. It will keep you going for a pretty long time if you wanna beat the game with all 4 storylines. And, who doesn't? The controls, for the most part, are pretty good. Although, there a times where you can accidentally be swinging a weapon and you'll swing yourself right off a cliff and die. That will happen more than once to you.
1) Fun multiplayer action
5638 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Quake 3 is completely different than the first two Quake and Doom games. This game is really more Multiplayer based, although I'd rather play alone, since most people who play it online do nothing but write filthy words and insults instead of playing. But I find myself liking this game better than the new Quake 4. This one happens to contain several very fun mini games, like Capture the Flag, Team Arena (Must buy expansion from store), and Team Deathmatch, in which you're on a team of gladiators, all with the same color uniform.
- There is a version for the P.C. as well
1244 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me tell you all about this great game. I wouldn't want to give the story away, but let me tell you: The original two are no match for this great game! This game has 30 new colorful and nice levels, and 2 hidden ones. Almost all of them have nice and pretty graphics. There are more features too. For one thing, there is the Time Trial mode, in which you go through the levels in a certain amount of time, and you will get relics. You can play as Coco, riding her adorable tiger Pura, a jetski, a blimp, and a couple more. Crash himself can do some more things, like a Super Belly Flop, a Double Jump, a Triple Spin, use Speed Shoes and use a Fruit Bazooka for long range attacks. Also, he can ride an airplane, a motorcycle, a baby T-Rex and more. Also, even dying is humorous. Now for the game's one flaw: It is hard to be challenged. However, there are 3 types of relics. If you get all of the Sapphire Relics, you can get a really good ending. If you get all the Gold Relics, you get 105%. But the Platinum Relics require a master to collect. So, if you like all that's said, and even if you didn't, you will definitely love it.
More Multiplayer! You can also play the game (single player missions) against a friend! Yes, it's true. You're friend plays as an enemy, and when killed re-spawns as another enemy opponent, until the level is completed or until Joanna Dark is dead.

Gameplay: There are three different gameplay modes. First, there is the campaign, which includes several mission in which you snuff out the lairs of heroes and rival keepers on your way to dominating the region. Typically, you build a base by tunneling out rooms and finding gold, attract a legion of monster henchmen while doing so, and then take on the forces of your rival. There is enough variation in the missions to prevent boredom, although there are a few very tough missions (especially the last two). There is also a skirmish mode that lets you fight against 1-3 rival keepers while fighting off other interlopers. The skirmish game can be customized in various ways, although there are only about 20 maps. Finally, there is a "my pet dungeon" mode for those who just want to build their subterranean masterpieces without being troubled by opposition (although you can choose to include set-piece battles against heroes). All of the gameplay modes have their appeal, though I liked the campaign and skirmish the best. The game can be played online, but I suspect there is not much of a multiplayer community these days.
The game CHEATS.
If you're a true Mega Man fan, then you know what I'm talking about as far as playing this great game. It was a refreshing new spin on the Mega Man franchise and gamers everywhere loved it. For those who haven't tried it yet, you absolutely must if you have any interest in playing classic Mega Man titles. You can track down a used copy for your SNES, search for a used copy of the Mega Man X Anniversary Collection for PS2 or Gamecube, or download this title for the Wii via the Virtual Console Service for 800 points ($8.00.) Either way, it is worth it and a true classic game that belongs in anyone's game collection. I highly recommend you check it out.
Nintendo's GameBoy Color has a wide selection on games. Super Mario Bros Deluxe is one I highly recommend. Pokemon Gold and Silver are also really good. Donkey Kong Country and Mega Man is also not bad. Plus,Nintendo's GameBoy Color can play Nintendo GameBoy games too. They can also use the link cable to connect to each other.
3343 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 People, i wrote this review to warn whatever of you out there want to buy this game. This will make even the most die hard game fans throw their playstations out the window. The games has most of the characters(whoopie...)which are represented with sub bar graphics and pitifull level desighn amoungst other things.the games boring. I rented it and it literally got old after 5 minutes of gameplay. If there is one redemable factor about this game its that you can laugh at how utterly stupid it is. Avoid this nerf dung at all costs.
Fav music fron game- "Go! Go! Go!", "Solitary Wolf", "Fighting Spirits", Magical Weapon Nash", "It's Me" "Modern Boy" and "Mia's theme" (forgot name)

The story follows a Crusauder named Christof as he deals with becoming a vampire and searching for his lost love Anestka. With a few twist thrown in, including one extreme one. The story is solid but half way through I was wishing for a more complicated plot than just finding Anesca. I was impressed with how the designers incorporated the history and clan relationships from the Vamp Masquerade RPG. Although it does seem unlikely that in a city the size of say Praque their would be around a hundred Vampires.
In summary, if you're a fan of turn based strategy games, then you should get many enjoyable hours out of this game, even if it doesn't really introduce anything new to the genre.

Mario Kart was so good because the tracks were so detailed yet not so detailed that the whole game is messed up because of it. And it's just so addicting because it's easy gameplay. And you cant say nutin bad about it.

So, in short, I don't CARE that In Your House is sort of a low-budget looking WWE game. This and Wrestlemania are the only games like it.
Being a 1999 game it doesn't require much computer.
Oh its great! It's awesome...I just loved how the game works and the levels get more and more fun and your tasks at the Station square makes the game exciting...5/5
5473 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 classic ps game with many good game stats rated in wiki and many other sites played it, had to have it. came as described
First off, let me just say that the graphics in this game are beautiful; all the castles for each of the 12 individual countries are different and highly detailed. In addition, each countries forces and militaries are also seperated from eachother, making the whole experince very real. Plus it's cool to see literally hundereds of little army men that are under your control battle a whole army to the death with a single click of the mouse.

7701 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. Love it. It's Mario, what else need be said.
5822 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As to not repeat too much of what has already been said by other reviewers, this is a great game. The thing about this game that is especially addictive is the monument building. What other game can you build pyramids with? That alone is worth picking up this title. This game would have received 5 stars from me, but the fighting parts of this game are cumbersome. The troops move so slowly and heaven help you if you have to move your troops across rivers with the "transports." Still a good game, but very addictive so watch out or you will be spending a lot of time in front of your computer, which for some of you is your life anyway.... B+
1) Great graphics
Gameplay? Amazing. You'll get use to the layout of the controls very quickly. Soon, you'll be quick reloding and popping around corners like a pro. You can shimmy walls, knock on them to distract guards, come up behind a guard and choke them until they pass out or just snap their neck. What about A.I? It isn't terrible. On Easy it's a joke. However the guards can see your footprints in the snow, and track you. They can also hear your footsteps on certain kind of terrain, and when they group up it can be scary.
You can also pick from 3 2-player modes. The Mariokart GP is the same as in 1 player with 2 players. Match mode is a 1 versus 1 race between two human players. Battle mode is where the two players go throughout the track, throwing items at eachother to try and pop the opponents' ballons. The racing is action-packed and still very fun in 2016.

1016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll keep this short, as most people have probably already played this, but when this game released in 1996 there was literally NOTHING like it. no fully 3d adventure with the calibur of Ocarina of Time existed in those days. the sheer quality of this game was unheardof in 1996. the graphics were smiply beautiful for their time, and the gameplay was near perfection.

Next up is TNT Evilution, the first of the two Doom II follow-ups presented in the PC version of Final Doom. Taken as a whole, TNT Evilution is an excellent and balanced expansion that just can't make its case with the eleven levels presented here. It could have been better with a better selection of levels, but it's just better to buy a copy of the Doom Collector's Edition for the PC and play it in its entirety. Additionally, while I have nothing against the ambient score whipped up for the PlayStation versions of Doom, I just don't have patience towards it when reflecting back on the wonderful midi-based soundtrack Team TNT created for the PC original.
6838 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got Sonic the Hedgehog 2 back in the day around the early 90's,actually it's my first video game to play. This game is so fun and easy to play,I always thought Sonic games have the best music,its so addictive. The levels are really fun and have different creative enemies. One thing about this game I didn't like is the boss(Dr. Robotnick) at the end is hard,the reason it was so hard is that I forgot how to beat him,and he was harder than the first game.
For WCW's first video game made during the Monday Night Wars, this was pretty terrible. For starters, this is more of an arcade type of video game then a game you'd expect. The game came out in 1997, yet looks and feels like it was made in 1990, transferred to Playstation discs and called a video game.
With that said, this game is poetry in motion. From the music to the artwork, everything is simply a pleasure for the senses and when coupled with solid simplistic and fun gameplay you really can't argue.

The second half of the game is much quieter. Entering the three actual ghost "worlds" is almost mundane and somewhat anticlimactic. When things are spooky, it's more because you're experiencing the reality of a person who is himself creepy, than because the actual events are scary. I found this both a disappointment and a relief, after the excitement of the initial half of the game.
Graphically, Max Payne features some truly amazing textures, very much photo-realistic. Controlling Max will be simple for anyone who has played a FPS style game, with one great twist: "Bullet-Time" gameplay. This is a feature where the player can slow down the game time, ala' "The Matrix," with a simple mouse button click. This gives the player a small tactical advantge, but it certainly does not distract from the already difficult gameplay.
6831 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wasted countless amounts of cash renting this game almost every week from my local video store. This game is awesome The story mode it to die for and the characters, well they are pretty unforgetable!! I currently bought this game for snes because the genesis version rocked and i had trouble finding it. Well compared to the Genisis, the snes version sucked. ALOT. Aquaman for one has his hook hand and a complete moves overhall, the flashes moves are much cooler & the game moves at a much faster pace which just goes to show you that Genesis has the upper hand. the story mode is also more involved on genisis and the backgrounds have a higher level of detail. While i really wished more villans were included this game has a good selection of great fighters.
1390 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay so when I decided I wanted to buy a "new" nintendo 64, my brain automatically said "now where can I find super mario". Hours upon hours were spent on this game when I was a tweenager and I had so much fun with it. So I went out as soon as I could and bought it again.
summary:
and get F Zero for the Nintendo 64 (also available on the Wii virtual console)
9265 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this is one of the older games that are still around, but, unlike the other oldies, this one now has Direct-X 3D acceleration. It also has Lucas Arts premium sound effects , so if you've never played a Star Wars game, this is as good a place to start as any.
Final Fantasy V:
But cheer up people- the next generation is almost upon us. But i know that when we look at 3D graphics today, we will know that this game had a part to play in making this our reality today.
Let me tell you, NOTHING, I say NOTHING, compares to the endless hours of gaming enjoyment that I have experienced playing Torment!
- Graphics.. However some games (Like Timestalkers for instance) Looks like someone threw a CD Rom on your N64.. (Oh don't get me wrong.. it looks better then a N64 game but so much in the way a Sega CD looked better then a Genesis game)

Gameplay (score 10/10): This is a bit of a catch-all category for me. Let's see, the first thing of note that comes to mind is the fact that enemies level up at the same rate as Squall. That means that power-leveling is no longer desirable. This might be disappointing to some, but I found it to be quite nice because the game isn't overly hard, and I didn't have to waste time power-leveling. Another point of interest is that you eventually get a way to avoid random battles, which is awesome. Another point is that there are plenty of mini-games and side-quests of sufficient variety available to enjoy (my favorite is the card game). So, there should be plenty features here to please everyone.
2553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I Love This Portable System, Because, I Can Play, Any Classic, Game Boy Game, From Any Region, Right Out Of The Box, No Special Adapter Required.
Sheesh..
Now to the disappointing part. Well, I was starting to get bored after I got stuck in one part. The battles grew pretty tiresome and I felt like I was playing a Poke'mon game. Everywhere I went there was a goofy looking monster to battle.

2981 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Everyone complains how great or how bad this game was. To me when it first came out I loved it, it was the first Final Fantasy game I played i was like 9 or 10 years old. I still like the game a lot yes now it has bad graphics but they were cool back then. The story was good but at times made you laugh. Cloud was alright but there has been better but I thought sephiroth was a great bad guy and to me the best character in the game. Yes it is long but I enjoy games that take time to beat and it wasn't very difficult to beat. I enjoyed that there was a lot of extra stuff to do in the game besides the main storyline which is smoething games are missing these days.
8045 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I know this review is coming really late considering the game has been out so long, but when I read the other reviews.... First of all, the graphics. THEY ROCK. They are 2d, yes, and the people are small (chibi style is what they call it). But the small people rock. They look like cartoons. When battling every character looks different, you can equip different weapons besides the swordians, and each weapon looks different. What really bugs me is that some people say the graphics [are bad], yes mabye the terrains do, and mabye the outside world does, but the battles. Hundreds of animations for each character can describe it. There are so many different moves and spells for each character(well so many different spells for characters with swordians, ill explain that later). It is amazing that they have about 50 very different looking spells per character with a swordian, and about 20 different special techniques per character(which is alot once you play through the game). I have beaten the game, and yes, the terrains for the outside world may [be bad]. But each town looks different. Each dungeon is there for a reason, and not there to get a special bonus item. Trust me, the graphics for battles are awesome, and probably the best 2d graphics out there.

If you're a huge fan of this game's particular universe, and simply MUST know how the story goes, then Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption may be worth the effort. Just be prepared for the headaches.
There are many levels of difficulty, which is excellent. Once you master one level or strategy, you can change the settings (and certain characteristics in the game, such as what type of terrain you get, which makes all the difference). You must manage any one of thirteen civilizations, ranging from the Turks to the Vikings. Each civilization has it's own unique benefits and drawbacks and their own style of buildings and armies. You collect natural resources, advance through ages by meeting requirments in your stockpiles, create workers, explore, conquer, build an army, make allies, engage in trade and battle, and so much more! The graphics are some of the best I've seen in a strategy game and always keep you involved with the game.

If you weren't around for the release of Age of Empires and Rise of Rome, then this is for you.

Trust me, whether you are completely new to the Age of Empire scene, or are just looking for conveniance, this is for you.

If you liked Banjo-Kazooie, I'm sure you'll love this. If not, definitely skip Donkey Kong.

Graphically, Blast Corps does only what it needs. It adds all the right colors and details, nothing more, nothing less. The sound is well-done, especially the horns of the racing vehicles. The music is a bit childish - kind of a strange techno-like beat - but it is aimed at kids. About those horns, my favorite was the van's horn, which went, "Get outta my way!" and that's what you should be saying while racing to your nearest video game dealer for this game.
Even its sequels can't touch it. Love this, and will play it several more times.

2894 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, but sorry scalpers this game isn't 200 dollars good. This is from a person that has the "special" one when it first came out. Which the biggest change is the name of your flower seller, and Barret is allowed to swear at the beginning. Other than that this game isn't worth the scalpers price.
I've finished it nine times. I'm yet to be bored. I reckon I never will be.....
7390 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What can I say?
Difficulty:
I've been with Super Mario since day one all the way back in 1985. There is not a single "Super Mario" game that I have missed out playing at launch, with only two exceptions, "Super Mario Land" for the Gameboy and "Super Mario Sunshine" for the Gamecube. Each Mario game was a revelation and just utterly fun back in that era, even though they were short. My first exposure to "Super Mario 64" was sometime in the fall of 1996. I just remember being in utter amazement - remember, though there may have been some 3D forays before "Super Mario 64", nothing, and I mean NOTHING, looked this amazing or played this awesome. I would play the game for hours and hours, and felt like I was in a fully interactive novel or world. I can remember thinking "Where do game makers go from here? This is utter perfection!" I niavely thought the graphics would never be equaled, they were that good. I remember telling Courty's brother (my own brother's best friend) back in the late 1980s "Wow, just imagine if they go past 16 bit and go to like 80 bit or 100 bit! Just think how amazing that would be!" And with the 64 Bit, I felt that what I had been talking about had come to past.
7584 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is imaginative and FUN with a lot of play value. The mazes are damnably clever, the music is GREAT and Phil Hartman as the voice of Blasto MAKES the game!!! You'll play this one a LOT. It's worth finding.
1250 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Crash game was very hard to beat. It was still classic. Then Crash 2 came out, with several hard levels and tough bosses. Then out came this one, Crash Warped. This is the cult classic of the series. I have beaten the entire game, and never once been disappointed because of too much or too little challenge. I even managed to get a 104% file with the help of my brother and a twerp i know. There are two secret levels. They are Eggipus Rex and Hot Coco. To get to Eggipus Rex, you go into time trails in the Dino Might! level. Then, board the yellow gem platform. Keep running until you find the second pterydactyl (the triceratops will be already chasing you) and let it take you away. To get into the Hot Coco level, simply crash into the road sign with an alien on it in the Road Crash level. This game is a classic and every PS One or PS2 owner needs to have it. Was this review helpful? OF COURSE IT WAS!
I love the fact that it's backwards portable. You can still insert regular Game Boy cartridges in it, like Tetris, Super Mario Land, or Pokemon Red.
Like Capcom did with Street Fighter Alpha 2 for the Super Nintendo, they did the impossible again here and crammed a 2-CD, graphics-heavy game onto a cartridge. Angel Studios did the job, and used massive data compression along with a 512-megabit cartridge to fit everything in. The result is a game pak that is physically heavier than all the other games in your collection. Whats even cooler are the new features, including a high-res graphics option and 5.1 surround. The only thing that takes a hit are the pre-rendered cutscenes, which are pixelated from compression. But its a small price considering no one expected the game to fit at all.
The game's one "gimmick" of a slo-motion play mode is fun for the first couple of hours, then just gets boring. I wish they had spent more time on producing a story (it has every cheesy cliche in the book, and is presented by a dull expressionless monotone narration).

4708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The graphics of Baldur's gate are tight. The game world is huge, spanning 5 full CDs. You can explore everywhere, battle monsters and complete quests and other missions. The character creation is highly detailed allowing you to choose from a variety of attributes for each race. If you like rpgs, get this game! You can play on-line too, but I haven't tried that yet. :)
A memorable musical score is present in FFVIII and while it's not my favorite soundtrack the music is always fitting for the particular event in-game. As far as sidequests and extras go FFVIII is bursting at the seams. There is a full-fledged card-battle mini-game called Triple Triad that could have probably been released as a standalone title. There are plenty of optional GFs to collect including the most powerful GF of all - Eden. There are chocobo mini-games and many other Final Fantasy staples too. There is even an optional 'Weapon' battle for those familiar with the battle against Ruby & Emerald Weapons in FFVII. This time around the challenge has been turned all the way up for Omega Weapon!

2578 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For you Mario freaks who want to play the original, or those ones who are new to video games and don't have an old NES (which, sadly, are becoming increasingly rarer as time goes on), this is a good substitute. It doesn't quite capture the magic many of us old school gamers can remember the first time we saw that screen on our TVs. But the Golden Age of the video gaming industry has passed, and we must continue on. Sorry for getting nostalgic, but there's still nothing quite as memorable these days as playing the old NES years ago, with a lot of friends gathered around. Perhaps I romantize that era to much of the video game industry, but I have a lot of good memories from that. That's how boys bond (and also men - me and my best friends still go and play the N64 --- the latest wrestling game from THQ and Goldeneye always come in handy). And for those parents who are concerned with some of the more mature elements in gaming these days - don't worry, Mario doesn't have anything to be concerned about.
The story is what makes this game...a game..it's not just any shooter...it's history in the making..well for games atleast...
357 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The charger tore up, and wire came off.
Sound: Each track is excellent (though I didn't like the credits song "Dreams Dreams, but that's just me) and fits with each area of the game, "Gate of your Dreams" is one of the coolest tracks ever, it plays during the stage selection. Child-hood dreams and voices echo through the purple clouds, and a very high-pitched melody plays. All the stage tracks fit with the themes of the dreams perfectly. The cut-scenes have no voices to fit the dream perspective, which is good. And the more I play it, it seems that the stage music changes a bit, and even changes into a different song, I think it's part of that "A-Life" feature. Good thing the disc doubles as a soundtrack. *10/10*
541 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Use to play this as a kid and when I played it, it brought back all kinds of memories from my childhood. Definitely a game to have if you are or were a fan of wrestling.
7606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games of all time, it stands next to Conker: Live and Reloaded, Mario Kart 64, and San Andreas. And for its time, it was groundbreaking. When I was about 8 or 9, I went to my local market to rent a game, I then saw this, I said "This looks cool, I'll give it a try". It met my expectations, and then shattered them. I really cant explain how astonishing this game was and still is today. Now I'm 15, and I still love playing this game, it is one that will stand the test of time.
1450 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since I got this game I've loved it, i lost it so i recently had to buy another one, but you get the hang of things pretty quickly... very very fun game!
Now, as a grown up (or maybe still a child at heart, lol), I came across this game again. Remembering all my childhood experiences with this game, I was fairly excited to relive it. Right after playing it for about 5 minutes, I started laughing at myself. I honestly don't know what I saw in this game. The game is so horribly crafted that it's really a surprise that they released this game at all. The graphics are ok (given the time it was released), and the weapons are kinda cool. However, that's all that's good about this game.
1925 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game kept me dreaming as a child back in the late 90's. I used to crave Resident evil 2 and its "So realistic graphics" (Hey, Back then, Ps 1 Was Awesome Graphics.) Its Scary, Its Frightening, And its Impossible to beat with just a knife. Give it a shot, Only downside is poor Voice acting, Like their captain obvious or something. But if you Played RE 3 this will seem like a Downer game. RE directors cut is where its at!
Did I mention it cheats?
Replayability: ***** (Tons of extra caves, quests, missions, mini-games to find, extra materia, weapons, limit-breaks, and bosses to fight well after the game is over.)
For the love of God and all his wonderful adorable Earthly creatures- DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! Just when I thought the Mortal Kombat series couldn't get any crappier, it happened.
Natsume, you have given me the gift of gifts in this game, and it will not soon be forgotten.
This had terrible voiceovers but great music and gameplay.
7336 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really like this game a lot. The game has six different zones, with at least one secret level in each one. After that there's...Wario's Castle! Another thing I like about this game is that you can cash your coins in for things like extra lives in a slot-machine like manner of chance. This game also has very good graphics for a Game Boy game from 1992, and looks sharp on the Game Boy Color. The controls are easy to figure out, but sometimes, when Mario runs, he can slide, and he can't jump very high either. What I do like is that if you lose your Fire Flower of Rabbit Ears, you can still be big. I've beaten this game a lot, but it's still fun to do. It's a great buy.
This is a classic game, and even though it's not as good as the masterpiece sequal, it's amazing how this game has stood the test of time. Like other classics like Castlevania (the very first one released for NES) and Final Fantasy 5, these games are just classic. Expect to see them around for quite a while longer.
Another interesting aspect is that at the start of the game you get to choose if you want to be a straight out soldier, a psychic, or a technical minded fellow. The skills that you choose can allow you to slip through the many traps and dangers in the game.
Now that [the price has dropped], it's worth trying if you're really into Gabriel Knight. Otherwise, there are much better adventure games out there that are also dirt cheap. Try one of them.
Oh, and the second one is supposed to be twice as bad. I can't wait!
Now, some people might say 6 racing tracks (other than multiplayer, that's it?? Cruisin USA 64 has 14 tracks.. However, the 6 tracks are not normal tracks. They are about twice as long as other racing games I have played such as Destruction Derby, Cruisin USA, Monster Truck Madness 64, etc. You can play 3 laps of a course such as Coventry Coves, and you are ending it in 7-8 minutes. This is without stops, or crashes. The handling is good on this game, so you probably wouldn't crash to begin with.
The Controls make me wish I was playing Shaq Fu! Im dead serious. Its incredibly sluggish! Every single button command has to be inputed slowly. To execute special moves, like scorpions's spear, heres how you input it:
Not worth the price. I suggest that you should dust off your Super NES and buy that version. Avoid Mortal Kombat II on the Game Boy at all costs. The only thing worse than this is the Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat 3.
The good?
Coventry Cove: A simple course for beginners, not very hard, and many interesting shortcuts
10/10
I have written down the order for the 101 Episodes. Without this "bible" there is no way to know how to proceed to succeed in the entire sequence. And I do not understand how one person could so flawlessly execute these for us as examples. I am a well-coordinated person. It took me free time as I found it (a lot!) for over two days, for example, to master the one skill to achieve what seemed impossible. And this has occurred repeatedly, for each new skill to be accomplished.
Overall, GT2 is THE best simulation racing game in the world. Viva Polyphony!
- Multiple endings and even a few bonuses to unlock
4970 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I always wanted to give this game a try but never did purchase the game. It always had very good reviews and perked my interest as a WoT fan. Gamespy recently put it in their top 25 underrated games, it was in the top 10, so I tried to hunt down a copy. Atari still sells it directly from their site.
This game can also be frustrating as in difficulty, you can get lost very easily! I just do not recommend this game, unless you love to deal with bugs! Avoid at all costs!
3 - Complex arenas: This what Goldeneye failed in. The multiplayer arenas in that game were at most very small and it was easy to spot your adversary quick.

1589 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 WWF In Your House, while graphically WORSE than WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, should *not* be ignored if you like that Wrestlemania game because In Your House features the *exact* same arcade wrestling action. The wrestlers have been updated too.
Overall, there is a lot to do in terms of gameplay for Resident Evil 2 and it's one of the best video games ever made, hands down. If you've had the misfortune of never playing this game before, then don't waste any more time: play this, now! It's fun, it's scary and it's got great drama in its storyline.
3235 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Even though it's over a year old, Soul Calibur is not only the best-looking Dreamcast game there is, it's the best 3D fighting game on the planet. Period. Nothing comes close. A lot of people say Tekken Tag for the PS2 is a better game, but Tag is merely a rehash of Tekken 3 with updated graphics, and Dead or Alive 2 just doesn't have the same shine. Soul Calibur introduced so many new ideas to the genre of 3D fighting that it's hard to think how anyone will surpass it: the 8-Way run system and Guard Impact are just two of them. The graphics are flawless 60 fps glory, the sound crystal, the backgrounds enthralling. Mission Mode and the huge unlockable Art Gallery send replay value through the roof, but the true treasure here is the combat system. Helped by pinpoint control, beginners and veterans alike will find no end to the depth of the fighting engine that the 8-Way Run system opens up, allowing your fighter mobility across the entire surface of the arena. People are still talking about the huge leap Soul Calibur represents for fighting games. Namco has produced a work of art that also happens to be the most flawless game I've ever played -- a year later it's still the most played game on my Dreamcast and I'm still discovering new moves and techniques. Soul Calibur has sold many Dreamcast systems (my own and all my friends' as well), and at the price the system and the game are now, it's an ABSOLUTE STEAL. Everyone who's even remotely interested in gaming owes it to themselves to experience this piece of history -- games like this don't happen often, folks.

The sound is excellent. The music is very enjoyable to listen to, and Crash isn't full of the 'tude that most video game mascots in the 90's had.

9642 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ah...Pokemon. Is there any doubt why everybody loves this series? At some point, we gamers go nuts over something about Pokemon, if not the brand itself. From the TV anime to the trading card game to the video games themselves. Suddenly, we find ourselves with Pokemon Pinball. Believe it or not, there are quite a fewNintendo franchises thatmanage to find their way into pinball-based spin-offs. Pokemon Pinball isn't even the first!
Gameplay: 10
It has been too darn long since I last played this master piece.
9684 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game because it was on sale and after fighting over it with my husband for 4 days or so, he emerged victorious and has been playing with it every day ever since. At ages 31 and 36, we have a hard time finding Gameboy Games that can hold our attention, but I do fear he's going to get carpel tunnel syndrome soon. I just wish there were more courses available to us. Although I am trapped on the Palms course and it might take me a while to actually finish well, so we have gotten our money's worth out of this one.

6468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 okay this game may be for the first playstation but the new medal of honors for playstation2 etc. just suck basically in the newest one (medal of honor vanguard) you just go around killing things (no point)this one has a story mode theres actually a briefing. and the phisycs are broken i killed a german and his body floated up and disapeered. WTF? the first medal of honor the bodys don't do that. the AI is okay. and i have never had a problem with this game i give it a 5 out of 5. Oh i love the funky ways the germans die too.
Mario finds the princess, rescues her, and destroys Bowser.
The battle system in the game is traditional RPG turn based format. But they use the turn based system to perfection. There are six characters on screen, 3 in the front row 3 in the back. Characters in front can attack freely but characters in the back row can only attack if they have long range weapons, such as a bow. Characters that share some kind of history, or know similar fighting styles, can team up to do combined special moves. These moves range from being simply entertaining to completely devastating. Charactes who can't attack from the back row can still function as fighters if they have a combo attack with another character. This adds a well rounded strategic element to the set up of a conventional group, since characters with combo attacks usually need to be in the same row or in the same column to perfom their attacks.
This game contains some of the best voice overs I have ever heard in a game, with most all of the voices matching the characteristics of the people. The only one I really had a complaint about would have been the voice for the character of Steve, which was annoying from the beginning, and although it did grow on my a bit throughout the game, just didn't seem quite right. But that's a small complaint, and one of the few small things I didn't like about the game.
The rest of the cast isn't nearly as extensively developed as other reviews would have you believed. Red XIII's only real function in the plot is to get the party to Cosmo Canyon, and I'm willing to be Square created him almost entirely as an excuse to demonstrate that their new 3D modeling witchery could be used to make all kinds of new player characters possible. Cait Sith barely contributes any more than Red XIII does (Can someone explain to me what exactly is supposed to be happening to him in the Temple of the Ancients? Did he somehow gain sentience, or are we seeing Reeve get a little too wrapped up in his performance?). Cid is a criminally underused character whose only real purpose is to allow the party access to the airship (god I wish his stint as team leader in Act 2 lasted longer). Depending upon who you ask, Yuffie is either an adorable little scamp, or the most obnoxious brat ever attached to an HP bar, who stars in one single interesting world-building sidequest. And I should probably mention that I have never played Dirge of Cerberus so I have no idea what it has to say regarding Vincent's backstory. But if it isn't revealed within Final Fantasy VII-- as this game was originally conceived to be a totally self-contained story-- then as far as I'm concerned it is irrelevant.
4649 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While yes, this game is very dated, and the graphics leave something to be desired in this day and age, it has always held a special place in my heart. My brother had it when he was little, and every time I got a chance I would play it. When I got older (okay, yes, I was eighteen), and had a PS2 in my room, I knew I had to get a copy for nostalgia's sake.
Once you've played through this game a couple of times, it becomes pretty easy. However, I still maintain that the game does have a lot of replay value. Why? Becuase once you have figured everything out and memorized the solutions to all the puzzles, you can get to the end in about 3 or 4 hours, tops. But that 3 or 4 hours is time well spent immersed in the game's beautiful environment.
6594 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wish there was more re-releasing old, classic games for new systems. I suppose some might see it as the companies just trying to squeeze more money from old games, but I love being able to play these games on new systems, and the addition of new features is always fun to experience.
Four stars for this cause (like I said) the City of the Dead the game changes dramatically all the way to the end. But the first 60% of this game was excellent.
A game should only be as long as it needs to be, but I think Banjo-Kazooie needed to be a little longer. Considering what Nintendo did years earlier in Super Mario 64, it's no excuse that Rare couldn't match that level of magnitude. But it's unfair to compare any game to Super Mario 64. Most gamers will complete this, all 100 Jigsaw pieces, almost all 900 music notes, in less than twelve hours. After finishing it, there's no reason to go back. The cheats only give you infinite resources, but what's the point when you've already finished the game? The only way a game like this can extend its life is for the single player adventure to be a little longer.
Blending Mexican folk mythology with the Film Noir genre, Grim Fandango is ultimately respectful of both traditions, and the striking art design is in keeping with this approach, combining Art Deco and pre-Columbian elements. The dialogue, refreshingly witty and literate, draws the player in to the characters and the story, as does the varied musical score, which includes Mexican folk melodies.

8314 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great. No issues. Reminded me of when I was a kid. NOw our kids love to play it. :)
Players can try their hand at a number of individual scenarios, but the heart of the game is in the campaign. In the grand campaign, players start out with a handful of core units at the beginning of the Polish campaign, and from here the player fights out the entire war to either its triumphant conclusion or bitter end. With each completed mission, the player has the opportunity to upgrade existing units for their core force, and also purchase new ones. Units also acquire experience throughout the game, an excellent concept that forces players to think strategically and play smart to avoid loosing these precious units. Win or loose though, the campaign is a blast. Win marginally and loose some throughout the campaign, and you could end up defending Berlin from the Soviets. Win big every time, and you could be invading America!
7192 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Donkey Kong 64 for my nephews birthday. I owned and played this game when I was little. This is the game that really got Donkey Kong going and recognized. The levels in the game are great and you get to tag along with Diddy Kong in certain levels. I love the classic game and I recommend the game to anyone who likes Donkey Kong.
4714 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Where do I begin? I have played the first four classic entries of the series, and Lament of Innocence, the Mercury Steam Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate, and I must say that not only was this entry released in Konami's prime, but they have given the name Castlevania a whole new meaning while adding to the overall gameplay experience. The environment of the game is astoundingly detailed with 3D background effects, including moving objects in full 3D and the creativity involved in developing the enemies make it that much easier to immerse yourself in this wonderful complete fantasy world, and escaping reality. With that being said, seeing that this game was directly influenced by Super Metroid, and perhaps some of the other Nintendo entries to the series, I must say that the Metroid-style gameplay was executed beautifully with all kinds of different suits (or cloaks) you can pick up, fluid controls, and an absolutely fantastic soundtrack that fits each and every one of its perspective environments the tracks were made for. Another excellent aspect of this game is the idea of leveling up your character to increase stats and such. That was beautifully implemented, rewarding you with easier gameplay if you destroy enough enemies and find the most powerful cloaks and weapons you can find in the game. You can also acquire various transformations that will turn your character into either a bat, a purple wolf, or simply a handful of mist, so you can pass through obstacles that were blocked before. Overall, this game is the most groundbreaking entry of the series, and it is one that I would not mind playing again and again, as the gameplay is as versatile as it gets with these style of games.
6520 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love it ^_^
9258 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 beat game i ever play in my younger day work great sve better than my old game which died thank for this grat game
Now, whether you like FF8 or not is your personal opinion.. but I love it from the stunning introduction, to the spectacular ending which makes all of the bad parts of the game seem worth going through. I may not like it as well as FF6, but it's still a Final Fantasy, and everyone will remember this one. Whether it was because of how horrible they thought it was, or because of what a fantastic experience they had with it.
-Challenging puzzles
The graphics are excellent, as shading and cutscenes are beautiful to watch. When Claire lights her lighter, it's a sight to behold, as it flickers realistically. The only problem is the clunky control, as it seems to populate this series a lot. It's a problem, but one you can adapt to (and you'd better, before you become lunch meat).

I would go as far as to argue that Starcraft is primarily responsible for global warming - think of all the coal we burned to generate the energy required to power all those computers and CRT monitors and light bulbs (and the heat produced by them!) as a generation of gamers stayed up all night fighting invasions and plotting fiendish countermoves instead of reducing their electricity consumption by turning off their PCs and going to sleep.
5122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Try the game for you're self but its classic fun. This game is pretty good for an old pc game.
3. Tomb Raider 5: Chronicles
You are Fox McCloud, leader of the Star Fox mercenary team. You blast through levels shooting up everything in sight, and blowing up massive bosses. The game uses a branching system, where out of the 15 possible levels you will explore a total of 7 in any given play-through. So each play-through is short, but there is replay value in going back and unlocking the alternate paths. And the action is so fast and intense that you'll be coming back multiple times anyway.
Solo missions follow a gripping storyline filled with conspiracy, intrigue, espionage, and yes, science fiction. Your battles take place on Air Force One, deep beneath the desert at Area 51, under the ocean aboard alien vessels, and deep within alien ruins. Newer puzzles, obstacles, and secrets await you in just about every level. The dialogue adds to the realism of the game, both during play, and between levels in detailed cut-scenes which develop the overall story. But be advised, this game is rated "M," so the graphics and dialogue are not recommended for our younger players.
The game suffers from a minor bugs, mostly inherent to on-line multi-player games, of which there are at least two patches available that solve most of these. There are some clipping issues, and I recall once getting trapped in a tower approaching the succubus lair and having to restart from my last save game position. I ran it at 640x480 & 800x600 on my P200 with a Creative Labs Video Blaster Voodoo 2 PCI card w/8 mb ram), with little slow down and should be fine on 233's and higher. Unlike Tomb Raider, Drakan doesn't suffer from nearly as many clipping or poor camera angle issues.
Games to get with this:
Finally, there's the multiplayer aspect of 007. While the single-player mode is challenging, unique and groundbreaking, multiplayer is absolutely unreal. I had the good fortune of living in a large college dorm complex at the time this game was first released, and thus experienced more multiplayer Bond than I'd wish on anyone. There were literally lines leading into my room, just for the chance to grab one of our four controllers and get into the action. It was an addictive community event, whenever that little red light on the front of our N64 lit up. Truly something special. With multiple modes of play, a handful of playable levels, some hidden surprises and dozens of options, you were guaranteed to never play the same match twice, and it didn't take much for the lighthearted action to become a cold-hearted war. In a time and place where four player deathmatches are a no-brainer, it's hard to imagine a game that pioneered the field. Goldeneye blazed that path, and did so in style. It cleared out the weeds, flattened the hills, and paved the roads that Halo drives its way across today. Truly, the game was revolutionary and it still plays as such.
You can interact with the items and props in the background, search for weapons and food, and even get quarters from phones for vending machines! You can play arcade machines in Turbo Mall 2000, which is ehhhhh but still fun, and on top of that, when you press the L button when both characters are a person away, you can smack the other character!
1800 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of my favorite games from the playstation series. When it first came out in 1996, needless to say I was blown away by the 3D directional jumping. It was my first playstation game. Of course there were some issues that I had with the game but it was the first of its kind and it paved the way for improvements. Some reviews have said how the game is hard. I agree to a point. I started playing it when I was in 5th grade and I still have a copy today but at that time it was a new concept to grasp playing a game with 3D controls versus simpler 2D controls from the Nintendo or Sega. But after a while and many Bandicoots being eaten, crushed, boiled in acid, drowning, or falling into dark abysses I came out on top. There are some levels that are still difficult for me (Lights Out for example) but I relish in the challenge it brings.
Well, my problem(s)?
Also, as you are in the game, you obtain new objects and rides as you go along. There aren't too many choices at first, but as the game progresses, you get more and more types.
I found that this game was scary, but not as much as the later games were, and in a different way. It relies more on "jump scares" and doesn't instill quite as much consistent dread. I was pleasantly surprised to still find some of the monsters scary and shocking, which I can't say for later games, on the other hand.
11 out of 10....and yes I did that on purpose....as Doom is more than perfect....
In short, Best fighting game ever.
If you want a hack and slash to be addicted to for less than a week, this is the way to go. You'll be back. If you want a hack and slash to play for a while, may I reccomend any of the Icewind Dale's. If you want a hack and slash with a real good plot, try Neverwinter Nights.
9488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Years ago, 2 babies named Mario and Luigi were being delivered by the stork until the wizard Magikepa Makoopa decides to kidnap both the stork and Luigi leaving Mario to fall into a village of Yoshis on Dinosaur. The Yoshis all join together on different regions of the island to protect Mario and rescue both the stork and Luigi from the witch and evil baby Bowser as they challenge evil monsters on the way.
The game also doesn't have a bad soundtrack either. It's surprisingly good. The opening title theme and the music that plays in the stages is actually good. It just sounds slightly (not always but slightly) out of place for a Batman game. But for the most part it's good. I even found myself humming some tunes.
8030 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you like old school shooters such as Doom then you'll definitely like this game. Cool story and good gameplay.
6807 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great condition
1947 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 There's a lot of hype surrounding the Resident Evil series of games. They're on most systems, there are books, and even a movie. The story is a good one, but I found the game to not be so great. Graphics are alright, the sound is bad though. And game play is horrible. Trying to move around is difficult and can be confusing, especially when you're under attack and things are chaotic. The characters move unlike most games. You don't go in the direction of the D-pad, rather you turn with right and left direction and move with a button. It was poorly designed. But since the Playstation 2 is out, and better games as well as more Resident Evil, there's no reason to pick up this game anymore. The 2-disc set here is one adventure with a male character and another with a female. The game is involved, just not as much fun as it shoud be
Highly anticipated, eagerly awaited sequels to million selling blockbusters usually have a knack for disappointing, but with Gran Turismo 2, the PlayStation's premier racing sim only gets bigger and better. For drivers who loved the challenge of the first, but who long for more cars and courses, your prayers have been answered with over 500 cars, and auto makers like Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz joining the mix, as well as classic cars from the 60s and 70s. A Rally Mode has also been added for more replayability and different racing strategy, as well as a game status screen that gives you the lowdown on all of your racing accomplishments. Even with these new extras, GT2 is still solid as a rock. Each new car has been added with the same painstaking detail as the original, and the new tracks (as well as some old favorites) also hold up pretty well. There have been some minor changes in gameplay, like the addition of tire and car damage occurring during the race (and massively affecting your handling), and horsepower limitations have been placed on most races, placing more of an emphasis on handling rather than on power alone. All in all, GT2 does a remarkable job of staying true to the original, without seeming old or tiresome. The glorious graphical detail of the first GT has been tarnished slightly with noticeable seam breaking and pop-up, which have to be a product of disc limitations (even though GT2 is a two-disc set) and the PSX showing its age. But the car models are still top notch, the sense of speed remains accurate, and the replays are still a joy to watch. The minor graphical complaints would probably not be so distracting if we weren't living in the age of Dreamcast. Sound in GT2 is again top notch. The cars sound real, down to minute changes in tone after you make high-powered modifications. The game includes a great modern rock soundtrack from the likes of Garbage, Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters and Filter. These tunes will keep you from popping in your own CDs to cover up the usual videogame racing fare. The GT series will always be remembered for its control. Not only while racing, but also for the unlimited tinkering one can do on their car. More modifications have been added this time around, but the feel of driving remains the same. Newcomers may find it difficult to compensate for the differences between front, rear or four-wheel drive, but for old GT pros it will come back as second nature. Even though Gran Turismo 2 shows its age (and its system's age) and Rally Mode doesn't live up to the rest of the game, GT2 is still as close as you can get to the real thing and always worth the drive.
3363 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 remember playing this as a kid
Top Gear Hyper-Bike
However I still enjoy this game and still enjoy playing it today so to me it is still a great game, maybe not as good as others but still great.
My only regret is not playing through this game earlier in life.
5886 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Yes, it is a good game. But admittedly Square didn't do as good as they could have. Junctioning tends to be VERY tedious, far outclassed by FF7's materia. The story is somewhat lacking, the characters are just very dull.
6989 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In Donkey Kong 64, you get an expansion pack, which already makes the game a good buy, but the game is huge. It takes hours to complete, so I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids, but the gameplay is great. There are five Kongs in this game: Donkey, Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky. All of which have different powers which are needed to earn Golden Banannas to unlock levels. Besides the game's challenge, You also need to complete two classic Rare Games: Jetpac and the original Donkey Kong. This game supports an OK multiplayer, but it is not as addictive as the game, and the controls would be to confusing for someone who is not familiar with the game. All in all, this game is a good buy.
682 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 the game's okay, although i don't think making the charactersin 3d was a very good idea, plus at some points game gets outrightboring,and all the main characters smoke... although the game will crash sometimes, and it might get stuck, overall, the game is pretty much okay if you don't count crashes and how the characters act and look... END
1) Game Design: All of the stars must have aligned for the game play to come together the way it did. True character mortality makes the battles more intense. Weather, affinity, facing, luck, agility, are more clearly factors than they usually seem in other games. Character classes and how they can be leveled and discovered is so much fun to explore (Like the monstrous mathmetician and how he to use him well). There are a huge number of spells spread across all of the classes and the variety of the visuals and effects are incredible. There are so many things lurking in the background of this game that make it so incredibly deep and infinitely replayable. It is different every time you play it.
The farming system? Perfection! So simple and easy to understand. I absolutely adore the greenhouse you can purchase and I love the fast past feel. You can accomplish little things around the farm each day, little by little. That's the way I like it.
- Tekken 2
The story line is change a little bit. Instead of the "Pamela Anderson" of a lover Crash had, he gets a more geeky "Meg Ryan" of a sister. Dr Cortex is still missing things up. The assistant from the first part does not appear except when he tries to communicate Crash to warn him from Cortex. You want to know more? Get the gems first.
The graphics are perhaps one of the best things about this game, especially when it first came out. It uses the same technology that Donkey Kong used and it is at a 3rd person angle. Graphics don't make any game but it sure contributes to this one, Mario has never looked better...ever.
Sounds and music-wise it's very good. It has the "Zelda overworld theme" super-charged! I also like the Dark World "Death Mountain" and "Skull Woods" theme. The sound effects are both impressive and amusing. The sword sounds different each time you improve its level! Everything is quite fitting. Controls are very fluid, too.
And of course.......zombies, zombies and MORE ZOMBIES.
7106 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has brought back so many great memories playing it i had to buy it for my boyfriend...We just got the new Sega system and we cant stop playing .
7043 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When i first got my Game and watch collection from Club Nintendo i started playing and i was hooked and was bent on finding every game and watch game they've ever made so i went around looking and i found this one i was very surprised on how much they only wanted but i just got the game to Today
1793 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Definitely a fun game. Great graphics, great controls, tons of levels and hidden gems to keep you busy for a long time. I guess my only complaint is you don't get any new abilities as you progress through the game. But other than that I had a blast with this game. Going to start Ripto's Rage now :)
4536 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Spawn for dreamcast is an excellent game where you battle against other players using multiple weapons. Vigilante 8 is just about the same concept, but you use cars rather than people.
The only bad things about this game are the system requirements and the tutorial.
Some of the voices are pretty annoying (Slippy in paticular)
Secondly, the story.
Some very minor problems I had is that sometimes your main character moves around too quickly, which means sometimes you may accidentally walk right into danger, and the graphics are slightly dark and dated. Just slightly. Don't forget the occasional Playstation glitches. Also, there are actually loading times in the game. It takes 10-15 seconds to load a stage. I thought by 1999, loading times were a thing of the past. Despite these problems, Medal of Honor is still a near-perfect game.
Mega Man X also has the best music of all the X games. You can easily remember and hum all the music in the game. Some of the themes are slightly weaker than others, but nothing ever reaches over to the boring side. Every piece of music is at the very least, pleasant (of course getting into the whole robotic Mega Man atmosphere helps to really appreciate it, hehe). My personal favorite themes are the password screen theme (touching and sad) the lonely highway theme (when you beat the game and Mega Man is walking to the left) and the jazzy/dance theme that plays immediately after that (the screen where a computer or TV is shown in the background).
It's nostalgic for me, but after countless hours of gameplay and a memorable music score, and incredible story, how could you ever forget.
*side note to people looking to buy this game the characters are boxy and pointy....that's all old play station games. It is still an Awesome game
PRESENTATION: 0/10
Also, the hundreds of different bosses and enemies are all interesting to hunt down and slaughter. Especially the cool looking bosses, which can sometimes span an entire couple of screens...

Spyro is the little dragons name and flaming minions is his favorite game. At the beginning of the story, the player watches a cut scene with an elderly dragon answering questions for an unseen interviewer. He mentions how there are 6 worlds in the dragon kingdom with 14,000 gems worth of treasure. There is also a very mean guy, who guys by the name of Gnasty Gnorc. After the dragon says some rude insults about Gnasty, Gnasty gets mad. Gnasty fires spells at all of the dragons in the Dragon Realm, freezing them all to stone. He also turns some of the treasure into his personal minions, which account for the enemies that Spyro must face throughout the game. It is up to him to restore order back to the Dragon World.
5100 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game doesn't have a story... But that is actually a good thing! VR Missions is great for those of us who have to wedge game playing between an ever-changing schedule. Most levels take anywhere from 30 seconds to five mintues... and you can exit anytime and save your game. So, if you have to get up and run... you really haven't lost anything if you take ten seconds to exit and save.
Magic points used for casting magic is null and void in this game. Instead, you have a draw system. You draw magic from your enemies which you can either stock away for later use or you can actually use the magic right then. Leveling up in this game doesn't mean a thing, really, seeing how when you level up, your enemies level up as well. I kinda like that, makes the game more challenging. Also, you don't earn money after every battle, but instead, get a steady "paycheck" at set times throughout the game. The amount depends on what skill level you are on, the higher the level, the more money.
Graphics (score 7/10): The graphics are decent for their time (this game came out a couple years after Final Fantasy VII). The cutscenes are anime-style, which is lovely because such animation pretty much never ages. The in-game background graphics are pretty good - they are quite detailed. The only problem is that sometimes the backgrounds are too detailed - it can be hard to see items on the ground or to determine what is, and is not, a pathway. The character models are kind of blocky like you'd expect for an old PS1 game, but there are in-game character portraits during dialogue, which is nice.
Finally, the skills and spells of your characters are diverse and change with enough uses to become stronger and more effective. With the integration of combo-skills, your fighter becomes a beast. The weapons and equipment for your characters provide a diverse and strategic edge.
4.5 stars.
7333 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is the best game boy game i have ever played. its a classic.
1921 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been playing the series since I was about 10, the first game I played was the remake of the first and resident evil. I also played the other series such as code veronica, Resident evil 5, Resident evil revelations, Resident evil 3 nemesis, and Resident evil 6. Feel free to get the game, its awesome but challenging at times. I highly recommend getting it. Also it can work on a ps2 but you need the original playstation memory card.
You play the game as Max Payne, an undercover DEA agent who's having a streak of a bad luck (to put it lightly). I don't want to ruin the story, but bottom line is that you'll end up having to shoot your way out of every situation. The gameplay is superb! With a short and painless tutorial, easy to navigate controls, and 10-20 minute learning curve, the game is quite easy to jump into and play. The story plays out like a bad action flick, but it's fitting and actually adds to the gameplay.
7592 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's the best just how I remembered it
3852 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game will keep you occupied for HOURS! Better than Zombie Revenge, this game has awesome bone and joint breaking grab techniques that are very innovative and fun to use! The plot may seem like a repetition of Die Hard Arcade replaced with crazy Pirates but it still is a lot of fun!
The graphics are also ancient, but they are just so charming - beautifully hand painted backgrounds and moody lighting on the interiors with bucket loads of atmosphere. It never gets old. Sometimes it's hard to put your finger on why the art direction of one product is superior to another but Baldur's Gate was done with such artistry and class, it still shames a lot of modern competition.
8502 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite games ever! The charcters are great, the job system is wonderful, and the story, music, and graphics, everything is great! Everyone who is a fan of any strategy game especially Final Fantsy Tatics would love this game. Also, it is very easy to learn the battle system and the job system. I don't think it should have gotten the mature rating, the only reason for this is because when you kill somebody on the battle field all these red squares burst out. Buy this game, you won't regret it!
This game doesn't go without a few bad aspects though. The voice acting is classic in that it isn't very well done. You'll hear such redundantcy as "Radio? What's going on with that radio?" which is more funny that annoying. But the poor voice acting doesn't spoil the game's mood at all. The graphics also take a little bit to get used to if you're used to super-dee-duper PS2/Gamecube/XBOX graphics. For those of us who were brought up around classic PS1 games, it won't bother you a bit.
8196 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Megaman X4, a game rivaled only by the SNES MMX titles! This game is definitely a well polished piece to have in your collection of megaman titles. Gameplay is great, with lots of "move too slowly and die" areas, cool bosses(although Capcom apparently ran out of cool names), interesting levels, and a very interesting plot. One of the more notable features of this game is the ability to play as Zero. This was originally introduced in X3, but then he was weak and couldn't fight bosses. But this time he's back and ready to kick some arse! In this game, you can choose between Megaman or Zero. Who ever you pick is who you are the rest of the game, which means Zero has more than one life and can kill bosses! Woo! Anyways, this game has a good level of challenge, being delivered more in getting through the stages than the bosses(although some can make you wanna bite a chunk of your controller off and spit it across the room, i.e. final boss). The weapons are really cool this time around. Capcom apparently had some real thinking time about weapons after two games' worth of dull weapons. The plot of this game is AWESOME, the Repliforce forms a Coup and they are labeled Mavericks. And in this game(and unfortunately, only this game, unless you look outside of the X series and count MM8), you can see the plot come to life in awesome anime cutscenes! (Capcom went lazy after this and made X into an unfortunate slide show with subtitles.) I haven't really listened to the music in this game, cuz I was too busy blowing stuff up in the enemy filled levels, so I can't rate it, lol. Anyways, this, X5, and the SNES titles are all great games and I would suggest you stock your gaming library with all of them(good luck on X3, cuz you'll need it unless you're made of money!). This game is a definite must have for someone new to the series and someone who grew up with the series. At least borrow it from a friend or your life will be shrouded in misery and pain!!! Muah hahaha!
3821 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game is very boring! is not even little bit of fun! the graphics are good. the game is a person on a boat and fishing! how boring is that! if you like fishing rent it first because the game could be boring to you too.
I put two stars for this being a fun game because it is so much fun to laugh at!!! I wonder why DC let Titus make this horrific game!!!! 'sob'
7535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Mario's off on his biggest adventure yet,and this time he's brought along a friend. Yoshi the Dinosaur teams up with Mario to battle the ugly Bowser,who has kidnapped Princess Toadstool,AGAIN!
GRAPHICS: 100/10: The graphics add to the scares. and plus, Jill has a nice ass.
However, the difficulty is much too high for even heardcore gamers. There seems to be something truly amiss with the makers of the game - despite the negative comments regarding gameplay, the game's sequel, Driver 2 (PSX) is actually harder than the original.
8705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember it well it was December 1991 and I was patiently waiting for Christmas. I remember all the hype about the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. After renting the Super Nintendo and Super Mario World I decided that I actually wanted a Sega Genesis because the Sonic The Hedgehog cartridge came with it and I already owned the original 8 bit Nintendo(while the Super NES proved to be great it seemed just like more of the same compared to the original NES just with 16 bit graphics). I asked for the Genesis and when Christmas time came I got an original Sega Genesis system with a built in headphone jack and it came with this awesome new(at the time) game called Sonic The Hedgehog. It reminded me of 1985 when the classic NES system came with Super Mario Bros. Much like that title it set a new standard for platform video games with it's fast paced action,catchy yet quirky music and great controls (A,B and C buttons all made Sonic jump the D pad moved him around and that was about it).
Graphics are as sharp as the first two installments, and the music has a catchy, laid back tropical flavour (also seen in the brighter design of the enemies). The only nitpicks are the lack of story (Rare poked fun at this in the first two games, here they just don't try) and the character selection. It's odd that the series is called "Donkey Kong Country" and Donkey and Diddy are reduced to mere cameos here. Kiddy Kong brings back the heavy/light dynamic of the first game, but overall Dixie is still more useful and maneuverable. In the end though, this is a wonderful platformer that holds up well by today's standards. If you've still got an SNES, it's worth tracking down a copy.
Although this game is extremely dated by today's standards, it's still worth checking out if you're a big fan of the series and want to see how the series got started in the first place. However, it's not really necessary now that a MUCH better remake is available on the Gamecube, so I suggest looking into that game instead. RECOMMENDED SPECIFICALLY TO FANS OF THE SERIES. NEW FANS SHOULD START WITH RE 2 OR THE GAMECUBE REMAKE OF THE ORIGINAL FIRST.
--- There are a variety of weapons in the game.
This is a great game overall, and if you like theme parks and amusement parks, you really should get this game.
6287 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Definately a great Black Isle game which deserves to sit in such high tiers as Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Arcanum. The story makes playing an Immortal fun for once (so read up, Soul Reaver makers). The characters are imaginative and deep(and you can talk with the other characters in your party to enhance the story). Find your journal, learn of your past, and for god's sake, use the sphere.
1407 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay,the game is very addicting. The sound,graphics,gameplay is all great! But I discoverd something else funer. Super Mario 64 DS. That game is way better. This game is good but that game is something you can't keep your eyes off. Remember when you finish the game and eyerything to do and ther'es nothing left to do, well this DS game has mini games. They are very addicting and fun! You can draw on this as well. The adventure mode takes longer folks. You can play as Yoshi,Luigi,Mario Wario. In The beginning of Super Mario 64,you could just walk in. But thwe DS version is different. You have to collect a rabbit to get in. There is more room's in this castle too with more levels. Instead of collecting 120 stars. You have to collect 150. If you don't have enogh money for a DS and the game but have a N64,dust off the original and have some fun. Or go out and buy your DS and game. Get whatever. You have to play this though. If you don't think I'm right,then you will be sorry.
Each Army has their own cast of Characters and each have their own strengths and Weakness. With three difficulties for the story mode it leads to more and more challenges, sometimes you are overwhelmed and sometimes you have the advantage. However in the end you can unlock two more levels and two more insane guys that easily gives the advantage to anyone who uses them in Battle Mode. However if not in the hands of a skilled player even these might titans can be defeated.
The gameplay is fun and quite addictive.
There is SOOOO many ways to play this game, which is great. From the iPhone to PC downloads, to Xbox 360 arcade, and various collections, there is a ton of different ways to enjoy this game.
5151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Easily the best game on the PS1, if not in all of Sony's catalog. It merged action, stealth, humor, and puzzle solving in a very new and exciting way. Voice acting in the game is impeccable and character models are quite decent considering the age of the game. Lots of unique ways to approach an enemy and very creative solutions to puzzles. There are just so many good things you can say about this game. The controls are good, music is amazing, the environments are detailed and open, the enemy AI is advanced, items and weapons are varied, etc.
The Verdict - Buy it.
If you get this game I would recommend the superpad 64 the one that looks like a modern controller. just because this game dose use the d-pad, crap get that controller anyway.
The basic story to this game has already been told, so I'll move on. There are so many elements that work together to make Silent Hill an excellent horror experience that it is hard to even begin writing what makes this title the best in Survival Horror. I guess I'll start with the basics.
9685 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game has so much to it! There is never an end. The very first course, Marion Club, is easy if you have the right drive, height, etc. The second, Plam Club, is a little more challenging. This is where it gets hard. The third, Dune Club, is very challenging! You'll need a long drive with great control and meet area. You may not want to use the special club [this is a club you get after you do a certain task. A place will open up and the club maker will give you a choice. Control Club or the Distance Club. I chose the distance club because thats what was vital at that point. I thought afterwards, I should have chosen the Control Club because when you choose the Disance Club, your meet area and control is not very good. So pick whatever suits you] because you will end you hitting something or getting it in the bunker. The fourth, Links Club, is VERY hard. It has alot of heath which are packs of grass very thick and they are very hard to get out of! It took me a long time to beat this Club. So the graphics are nice, the color is nice, and the levels, scenery, etc; is nice. But there is one more challenge that awaits you. It's the.........
This game definitely deserves a look. If you're a fan of the series, but it right away and you won't be disappointed. If you're new to them, rent it (or buy it, even) anyway.
6531 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I bought AC I was interested in Ultima 9 which was a complete flop. Then, my brother had me play AC and one of the biggest things you notice are the graphics. Just clicking on the Life stone which saves where you will be teleport to is beautiful. All the magic is fun and most of the people are great. I recommend a video card that can support the modest graphic requirement. I think the ten dollar fee is accurate since the great people at turbin always update the game each month with new world events and climate to new armour, weapons, quests, and new lands. All of which you would have to pay for a new game completely anyways. But, with AC you never have to buy a new game because AC is always a new game each month =) I recommend this game if you want to be addicted I have been playing for 1 1/2 years and I don't plan on buying anything else until AC2 Thanks Turbin for a game you spent making for around 6 years I believe.
887 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've never really had enough of an attention span to play "collect the item" games, but this particular one is really great. It has enough action and puzzle involved to hold the attention of even a gamer like me (with, honestly and unfortunately, a terribly short attention span) for hours at a time, with enough elements of finding things you'll need later to keep you playing and replaying each level. A truly great game, and I wish more of the sort were made these days. I feel way too young to be saying this, but they just don't make them like this anymore!
I agree with other reviewers, however, that this game has zero replayability. It should take you long enough though so that you won't feel like you didn't get your money's worth.
Some people say that it's too short, but for an add on pack it more than suffices. Clearing it in one sitting was mentioned below too, I'm good at it and played it on and off for a few weeks. However, the end monster and actual ending are both let-downs. The 'final battle' consists of a series of climbing ropes, using mounted laser guns and using your grappling hook over and over (and over) again. More like the Krypton Factor assault course than an pan-dimensional showdown.
It's graphics were on par with the PS2 and the Gamecube, and it had internet connectivity that made Phantasy Star Online a great adventure.
5599 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While Final Fantasy VII is my favorite, Final Fantasy VIII has a special place on my heart lol. FFVIII is an amazing game same with FFIX, I love Final Fantasy 7,8,9,10
I'm not too sure about the AI either. Any friendly troops that you 'lead into battle' either refuse to follow you, charge straight into gunfire or shoot you in the back! Their average life expectancy in battle is about a minute or so. The bad guys aren't really the sharpest tools in the shed either, following basic patterns or causing you grief by being very fast instead of very smart.
3194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hands down the greatest fighting game ever made. Almost a decade after its release it still tops of even the newest fighters out there. Dreamcast had the most potentioal over all the other systems, to bad Sega Sold out. Every character, level, skill, story goes above and beyond. Top's the most recent Soul Calibur 4 that was released this past July. This game should be ported exactly the way it is to Next-Generation systems with a graphic enchancement.

Oh, and I'm sad to report that the "OoT Commercial Music" is not in this game... :(
6245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great, arrived on time, and packaged well. Good job!
1977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
A tale of buried treasure, secret societies, ancient bloodlines, and puzzling relationships, Gabriel Knight 3 is a wonderfully complicated storyline, though not recommended if you're squeamish about digging into religious topics. Calling this game a "vampire story" oversimplifies it and does it no justice. If you're expecting hollywood vampires of the Bram Stoker or Anne Rice variety, look elsewhere. Jensen puts a new spin on the tried and true vampire legends, and does it with style, pizzazz, and all around daring storytelling.
In the world of survival-horror games, some go for the gore-fest and others for cheap thrills. Silent Hill stands apart, as a game that tells a compelling story and accompanies every moment of that story with a shot of pure, creeping fear. It's not the kind of game to make you feel queasy or get your heart pumping, but it evokes the feeling of shivers running up your spine like cold fingers and skin that doesn't seem to feel comfortable anymore on your bones.
combine to create an exceptionally well done RPG that remains a classic to this day.
Being a perfectionist sucks. The game is just as hard as I remember. Definitely a classic game deserving praise - no matter how childish it may seem. Croc is still enjoyable many many years later. Not as great as something like Gex, but definitely a must have for your collection of memories.
8064 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 bad graphics but okey every thing else. I like the school theme. nothing wild and new. nothing wonderful about it. kinda fun. go buy tekken 3.
6231 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 For the last couple of years people have been patiently awaiting the release of I found out that the same makers of those two great games where releasing an RPG in my favorite campaign setting, I almost soiled myself with glee.
Mos Eisley and Beggars Canyon: 10/10 - Yes, finally star wars gets into racing. Kill the swoop jockies before they reach Luke, but don't crash!
With every mission comes new technology. You can build heavy infranty units, calvary, naval armadas, war elephants, catapults, priests....and the list goes on and on. The Gold edition also has the Roman Empire scenarios which offer a few more neat tidbits such as camel riders and Fire galleys. The only slight precaution I would have for anyone is to stay away from making stone throwers on the Rome version. They are next to useless.
9080 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Play this and remember it was made in 1994 look at the graphics! Donkey Kong Country shocked the world in 1994 with its revoulutionary garphics, but also shocked it with its gameplay sound...just about everything! Even today the graphics are still better than some of new Playstation games. If you like gorillas, or just like video games youll love playing as Donkey and Diddy. Your not a true video game fan if you donrt like Donkey Kong Country. Also play the 2 sequels which are both excellent. Get it immediatley if you don't have it!
3601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 .... ...i thought that the controllers looked really difficult to use.
ITS THAT GOOD. Give credit where credit is due. Thanks Namco for making the perfect fighting game.
7037 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Know is a REAL CLASSIC Bomber Man 64 people all over the world go nuts over Classic games trying see who will win.
Well, I'm truly honored, truly honored to be the first one to review this game and I dedicate this review to Galatic Attack, one of the best shooters of all time! I know no one's gonna read this review since it's the game for deceased Sega Saturn, however, if you happened to read this and own Sega, then you know what to do, right? (mild smile)
6517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Fast Shipping, Product as described
However, I have no idea why the price for the game jumped up to almost 70 bucks these days. I guess because everyone who owns the game refuses to give up their copy.
1683 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is endless action in this horror survival game, but also puzzle solving, which makes it and intense and fun game. Of course killing zombies never gets old. There are also several versions of the game on this disc so if you want to play it over again you can do so with a slightly different version between the two main characters or the original version or directors cut version. This gives you four options.
9954 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game for anyone. Ever see one of these games in an old pizza place or something like that? This cartridge lets you play it portabley. You can make the screen like the arcade style games, with the whole area shown on the screen, or you can have 1/4 of the area on the screen at once. This game is such a classic, it should keep you busy for a very long time, whether sitting on your bed or sitting in a car.
Graphics:
As much as I'd like to say that this game is flawless, all great things come with a crutch.
1454 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I enjoy playing this game for the most part. I have spent hours glued to the computer watching my cities grow. Unfortunately as the cities increase in population, so does the chances of the computer crashing - a very annoying problem. Also the parades last too long, the seaports are difficult to develop, the terrain for some cities, such as St. Louis, are unusually hilly, and the buildings look alike. The game is not that challenging. But overall a recommended game.
Sound good, right? Wrong! The difficulty of the Dreamcast version is terrible. I had been in the console/computer game business a while back, and one of the main flaws I noticed is that computer game developers are hardcore gamers, developing games for hardcore gamers. This is a classic example. ...
1763 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 They told me i wouldn't get this game for at least another 3 weeks and i got it three days later,AWESOME THANK YOU 100%.
5939 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is the ULTIMATE game ever invented(other then Fable, but Im sure you already know I LOVE Fable, having read my other reviews). Diablo 2 Has soooooooooooo many good things about it, I don't even know where to begin. Actually, assuming you are a very busy person and don't have time to read CHAPTER BOOKS, I will just say this:play it yourself and see for yourself if this isn't the best gaming expierence youve had in your life. Trust me, If you get me started I won't even stop talking bout Diablo 2, don't believ me? just ask my poor sisters haha. But seriosly though, the best part of this game is the REPLAY value. On a scale of 1-10, the replay is 10000000000. Im serios and you don't even know(unless youve played it, then you probably do know) See ya later, reader, and BUY THIS GAME!!
Cons:
--The characters are pretty well done; their costumes are neat and not too outrageous, and there's a pretty good level of humor throughout the story too, even during the end scenes. So if you have never played this game, I seriously suggest you give it a try. Thank you for reading this.
Gameplay : The fighting system remains relatively intact, but I think that limit breaks are a little too easy to activate.
6669 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
Then after a couple of weeks I played it again because some friends said it was cool. I thought I should give it another chance and I played it with friends, but the game just doesn't appeal to me.
The one timelessness Sonic 2 thing, that I will always love? The music. It takes my #1 video game sound track. Second is Bio Shock Infinite. When it's time to clean at work, I blast Emerald hill, Aquatic zone, and Casino night.
+ backgrounds graphics are fine
Overall, this game has great sound effects, music, weapons, items, charaters, abilities, an okay storyline, excellent graphics and just a really good play!
8667 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Early levels are easy but watch out when you do the hard ones - the AI is BRUTAL
5993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is incredibly addictive. If you are sick of Diablo 1, don't think you will be bored of Diablo 2. The same great gameplay is back, only highly refined and expanded 5 times. You can literally play the entire thing through 15 times and not see everything.
4375 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay im not much of a strategy fan, i have played them all the big hits and the only one any good is the command and conquer series i didn't even bother trying this game in 1998 (I didn't like warcraft 1 or 2).In 2002 a friend showed it to me and i played it with him(he had a lan in his house and i have one now too) and i tell you, it is different then any RTS i have ever played i mean i got so into it i stayed up till 2:00 in the morning playing it with him. I bought it the day after(hey it only cost 10.00$s at most places). Whoever said that is had a bad story on the single player is WRONG. It is the most gripping story on a RTS EVER, I promise, it is a story of betrayel, your allies might not be what they seem to be and it has main characters that you have to protect during most missions. It is not just a war between 3 factions. BUY IT , NOW GO ill be waiting for you on battle.net.
You can play without computer players and your frieds!
8079 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 :) great product was well worth the money good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good
(11) get to use a car in this game to drive around and move quickly;
The sound effects and music for this game are marvelous (especially the latter). The sounds like the explosions, jumping noises, and spring noises despite having obvious limitations from the gaming hardware of its time, still sound fresh today.
4516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Civilization collection is one of the best of all time. This has the same idea as civ 2 and family but has a diffrent game play. The game has changes in three major ways; 1, you now use the mouse alot more instead of the keyboard. 2, Instead of seattlers to build roads you now use Public Works or PW. I like this idea of the game better. 3, you can now bombard units. You basically attack them without attempting to take over their square. This is one of my favorite additions. The diplomatic options are better and you can build more units and improvements. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone anyone who likes straitgy games
Overall a great deal for die hard Saturn fans like myself...Speaking of Die Hard, it worked great with Dynamite Deka (know as Die Hard Arcade here in the west).
I love the game overall despite the bad voice acting. Nothing tops the original, I suppose. Oh, and who can ever pass up having their final boss fight inside of a coach-roach?
All in all i believe that the sega system made this game fall short, but still a near perfect game.
8596 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game! Gets better each and every time I play!
There are a few negatives about the game. No naval units at all even though you have these really cool looking rivers. And a limited air force. Orca helicopters are pretty cool but that's it. Most mods are too extreme and change the game too much and there are very few maps you can download. No coop play.
As everyone and their mother knows, Sonic 1's plot is that the evil Dr. Robotnik is not only capturing many small innocent animals and turning them into evil robots, but plans to take over Mobius (their planet) and turn it from forests and clean air to factories and smelly air (I'll spare you the New Jersey joke). It is now up to Sonic to defeat Robotnik and make everything right again.

NOTHING!!
6906 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
The major shortcoming of the game (which was carried through the Sierra linage) is the mechanics of accumulation, distribution, trading, and collection of goods. This can be rather "artificial" and tedious.. but if you accept the concept, you can be philosophical about it and simply accept it as just another challenge all players must solve.
6492 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came at a perfect time and is brand new. Both games are fantastic and come in one great convenient package. This is a deal you cannot miss, especially for such a fantastic price. If you're a Final Fantasy or RPG fan, this is a must have.
3. Sonic advance: Game boy advance.
3937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is lots of fun. The game-play itself really hasn't changed much even from the original title, but lots more options have been added, the cartoons are more comical and "spunky", there's a lot more choices. The worms are still their ever-cute selves. Cute new weapons like Skunk, Bow and Arrow, Exploding Worm have been added to increase its playability. If you want to buy one out of the three game series, make it this one.
Overall: 10/10 - Fantastically detailed game that mixes genres and characters into a big story that erupts with fabulous enjoyment. In short: buy it.
3184 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game, I just bought it with few scratches that affect the sound. Still I will try to clean the scratches later to see if it fix the issue. Overall great game as I remembered.
9835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome! Exactly what I wanted!!
7395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back when 2-D fighter's were a dime a dozen,there were only a select few that stood out in both the arcades and the home consoles and "KI" in my opinion was at the very TOP of that list amongst other brawlers such as "Street Fighter- Alpha"/"The King of Fighter's"/"Samuri Showdown" and of course the insane fighting mechanics of "Guilty Gear".
5265 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Thief: The Dark Project, in my opinion, was pretty tedious compared to the fast-moving sequel. It started out fine, but it got really dull and annoying when I reached the zombie-infested parts of the game which include levels like Down in the Bonehoard and The Haunted Cathedral. I loved it at first, seeing new types of opponent apart from the usual guards, but the fun dies out pretty quickly because of the level structure. This is'll be a complete nuisance if the difficulty's set on Expert. The objectives of levels which have zombies and burricks are pretty demanding and they're all not located in convenient places. It requires a lot of going back and forth, which means that sometimes you face the enemies all over again as it's impossible to kill more than 1 especially since they move around in groups, so a quick glance, dart and hide is done mostly throughout the game.
I'm a big kid at heart, but no means am I a kid, so I can't keep up with many of today's games as they are too fast paced. This game is challenging, but not impossible for an old timer like me. The levels get increasingly difficult and offer enough of a varied experience to keep you addicted to the end. A must have for anyone who enjoys video games and is a WWII buff.
The other idea presented is the idea of the enemies levelling up along with you. No longer can you spend an hour beating enemy after enemy in hopes that the boss will be easier this time. Basically the enemy gets powerful just as you do when you level up so it's best to just be weak, as it were. Also, in previous games, shops or even enemies carried character weapons and armor that were more powerful than the one currently equipped well now the weapon has to be synthesized. Get a certain number of items and the magazine listing the weapon, take it to a shop and they'll turn it into a weapon. Of course you don't know what enemy even has them and you'd have to consult an FAQ to figure out who has what.
2474 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Smash Brothers was one of the last installments to the now dead N64 gaming line. A perfect ending, if you ask me. This is't your average Mortal Kombat or Tekken game. You don't have limited health, you aren't crammed up in a tiny little space, and the computer player dosen't always win. You can run around on vast terrains, where items such as light sabers (Samus Aron or Star Fox, I don't know), pokeballs (Pokemon), hammers(The original Donkey Kong arcade), and lasers (Star Fox) fall from the sky, and are at whoever grabs them first's disposal. The levels are:Mario Brother's flying island thingie, Zelda's castle, Saffaron City, Star Fox's ship, Samus Aaron's near-destructed planet, Donkey Kong's jungle, Yosie's island, and Kirby's planet. There's also a hidden level, The Mario Brother's classic arcade world. And, now, the players:Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Star Fox, Samus Aron, Donkey Kong, Link, and...Pikachu. And, there a 4 bonus characters, and I'll tell ya how to get them:
In between battles, you can go to different places to get your skills upgraded. Such as shopping in town, learning new skills at the dojo, getting new information at your headquarters, or just to have a drink at the tavern.
8930 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off, This is an extremely great game for those who liked Metroid and wanted to continue the story of the game. The game is a really great game and is what you have come to expect from the Metroid series, a really fun game. The concept of the game revolves around the idea that, Samus, goes to the a planet to investigate some kind of investation. This turns out to be Metroids a class of Aliens she encountered in the original game and you must go through and wipe them out from the planet before they have the ability to spread. The graphics of the game are relatively good for the time the game premiered coming out in the early 90's but the game is still a fun game despite the matter of graphics. Playability is pretty simple as it is a simple control scheme that anyone can quickly get used to and the entertainment factor keeps you playing for a while when you are in the car on a road trip. As far as replay value it is pretty cut and dry. The game progresses through and begs you to beat it, so eventually you probably will. Anyway, I enjoyed this game a great deal [or I wouldn't have given it five stars] and I recommend that you try to pick it up so you could have a little slice of Metroid joy.
These things usually come loaded with tons of codes for games. If you have a lot of games that aren't on it you can Google the title of the game, followed by a comma (one of these things ",") and the word "gameshark" or "gameshark codes." You can also remove games from the gameshark that you'll never use. You completely control what codes are loaded into the gameshark and what codes are active.
The boxes are also a rip-off of Super Mario Bros. in which they have question marks on them and you have to destroy the boxes to gain prizes. But not all boxes are the same, there are boxes without question marks, arrow boxes that propel you in the air, boxes with exclamation marks which makes boxes appear out of nowhere, checkpoint boxes that act as a save spot for the level and TNT boxes which explode after three seconds when you jump on them, whatever you do, don't spin attack them because they will immediately explode.
If you have a PSP or a PS3, download it from the playstation store. Or, on Xbox Live, you can download a high-definition version of the game. If you liked Shadow Complex or Metroid Fusion/Zero Mission, this game is right up your alley. Do yourself a favor and get it!
The story is pretty much "get outta Dodge", but the added affects of meeting various survivors here and there is kind of cool (although some of the survivors are not always the good guys). Also, each time you beat the game, you get another peice of what is happening with Leon, Claire, Barry, and more!
Super Mario 64 is a brilliant game. Mario can be turned into metal Mario, invisible and fly by wearing special caps that last a certain amount of time. He can shoot from cannons and swing Bowser around by the tail. The courses are cleverly designed, everything is almost perfect. I use the word "almost" because nothing is perfect.
4135 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game

7401 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You wanna have the best game for PlayStation X/1/2, well this is it! You won't go wrong with this game! The Street Mode is a more competitive version of the Arcade Mode where you can unlock alternate clothes for your characters, Music Collections, Sakura's Song "I Want You To Know" (Why is it called Sakura's Song? I don't know!), Pics of the characters and more! The Arcade Mode is addicting for a while, then drops out of the game! But the Versus Mode is really cool! You need a friend or a bunch of friends for a Vs. Mode Tournament! This game also has a MASTER MODE!!! The game won't give you any second chances and the AI is incredibly SMART! So smart, they have you in a corner before you have even the slightest chance! This is one of the greatest games of all times! You can't go wrong with this game at any party...
5113 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 yep ya guessed it! you get in a car and crash every other car to bits in various arenas.you can win more of them later.each with thier unique capabilities.some are fast,some are strong etc.the most well protected one is the ambulance for in destruction derby mode.if racing,take the hot rod.if you cant handle it,try the rocket.during the actual game,you race against time .but theres also a bunch of other cars racing also.you get points by damaging other vehicles and by making checkpoints.each time you make one,you get more time.however the time is less and less every time.eventualy all cars will be destroyed or you will not make your time.playing here is how you win other cars or in time trial.i just use codes.this game is great un the whole family can enjoy.
Music is subjective though so you may hate it.
I DON'T particularly like the huge differences among the races.. some of which have such constraints that they are virtually impossible to win a game with.. only 4 or so really lend themselves to playable games. But I don't think this is a "game stopper".. just a constraint.. It would be nice if some of the traits could be modified to more balance the game, but I truly think they were created to be a foil to the human player. As you play, you can use the "social engineering" for some balancing.
the cons to much back and forth in the game, bazooka won't blow open doors, the other issue is if played on the ps2 you have to get used to the original controls again im used to ps2 games now guess im spoiled lol where you use the analog sticks to move and look around.

6441 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are times in the gaming industry that a certain game will come along and reshape the way we think about how that genre is played. StarCraft did this for RTS. And AOE II expanded on the trusted design of that and made a game that is historically accurate, fun to play, completely balanced, and free of bugs (which is all-too-common in games today).
Also, his levels are set in the Media Dimension, and entire world where Gex can zap into all sorts of shows and movies through television sets. (This happened on account of Gex being a couch patato before this game.)
Yet like every good game, all games have their pros and cons but the good news, this game only has two cons...
Fire beats Wind, Water beats Fire, Wind Beats Water.

6604 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best role-playing game ever made. The world and the towns are gigantic. The music is beautifully composed and the characters are likeable, not like the stupid characters in FFX. I bought the game used, but the CD's are in perfect condition. I play this game on a Playstation 2, and the load times are not that bad. If you like RPGs and missed out on the SNES like I did, GET THIS GAME... you will not be dissapointed.
+Story:
8106 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The ultimate shoot 'em up fantasy. This is a game for the hostile psychopath in all of us. Graphics are okay but the sound is better. Above all else, we have a Grade A, all American hero with a twisted sense of humor. Sometimes I just kill things I don't have to kill just to hear his comments. But be warned, the game can get increasingly frustrating as you go deeper into it. You just won't go to sleep, as you'll find yourself in a new mantra, "Just one more level and I'll go to sleep. Just one more level and I'll go to sleep. Just one more level...
The game also introduces the character Knuckles the Echidna, whom of which is the guardian of Angel Island, where Dr. Robotnik lands after his defeat from Sonic 2. Dr. Robotnik manages to convince Knuckles that Sonic and Tails are the ones who want to cause trouble, so Knuckles often gets in the way and makes things difficult for Sonic and Tails during the entire game. In verses mode, you can play as Knuckles as well as Sonic or Tails.
Ignore the hype. Final Fantasy VII isn't perfect. Don't expect perfection, because you shouldn't anyway. For better or worse, this is one of the titles that helped push video games into their current identity crisis. It was a forward stride in the evolution of a genre and a medium, and the next step will occur when the genre is able to get past it.
Dad went on a business trip to Kyoto, Japan and almost bought a Japanese version of the SNES. At first he thought this would be a great idea considering all of my friends would probably end up getting the American versions! His son, the boy who would eventually become a man to carry on the family name, would have a unique video game system that He phoned my Mom excitedly but then realized only japanese games would work for this particular console. And since his son (me) was not fluent in Japanese decided to reconsider and purchase an American SNES.
4671 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one of the best kids video games i ever played! The graphics were pretty good for the n64. The things you have to do are a little challenging but not to hard. I don't know why it labeled as a kids game just because it based off a kids movie. Its a great game for kids and adults. The only thing that is frustrating is that its one of those n64 games that actually needs a memory card! Other then that its a great game and a must have if you want a fun game and are a fan of the movie!
9062 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 remember how cool the original nintendo exite bike was?its all here in its original form.but thats not the cool part.the cool part is theres a whole new way better version too.you can learn all your skills in a tutorial mode.you can build your own tracks from like hundreds[maybe] of different hills,ramps,dips and spins.you can even go to modes where you can play games with your bike like soccer.its easy to get lost for days in these games but the real idea i guess is to beat it on championship mode.its pretty straight forward there.theres a side game where you must scale a very steep and rocky mountainside.one[yes i mean one]mistake and youll see some of the most hideous wrecks in exite bike history! its great fun!
3. I would have liked the game to be a little longer (though in the ongoing tension between length and quality, I'll take quality any day). Actually, I would have liked the game to be a LOT longer. Truthfully, I would have liked the game never to end...
488 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a winner, and a true classic.
Gameplay: Like many installments of the Castlevania series, Symphony of the Night use a 2D side-scrolling style of gameplay. The objective of the game is to guide primary player character Alucard who we haven't played as since Castlevania 3 Draculas Curse through the undead-filled castle, as he sets out to defeat the vampire Dracula. Symphony of the Night follows a nonlinear style of gameplay; at the game's beginning, Alucard can only access certain areas of the castle, but by obtaining the three forms (a wolf, bat, and mist) that he can shapeshift into, he gradually explores the castle. A map carried by Alucard automatically updates to reflect the player's progress through the castle. While previous protagonists of the series have traditionally used whips as their main weapon, Alucard can find and use weapons ranging from edged weaponstypically swords and knivesto knuckles and expendable items, such as neutron bombs or javelins. He can also obtain health restoratives, various equipment and items to boost his attributes; all located on an inventory. Relics found throughout the castle will provide him with different abilities, such as being able to double jump. A bestiary kept by the castle's librarian, who also functions as a shopkeeper, shows the different monsters encounted by the player, and the items they dropped when defeated. Additionally, Symphony of the Night incorporates elements found in role-playing games. His hit points determine the maximum amount of damage he can withstand before dying, while his magic points decide how often a magical attack may be cast. Additionally, he possesses four other attributes: strength, the power of his physical attack; defense, his resilience to damage inflicted by the monsters; intelligence, the recovery speed of magic points; and luck, the frequency of items dropped by enemies. Defeating monsters provides him with experience points, and he will level up after reaching a predetermined amount, increasing his attributes in the process. Alucard may cast eight different spells, which requires the player to input directional combinations and will use up varying amounts of his magic points. Over the course of the game, Alucard can acquire the ability to summon familiars: they function as complementary entities, aiding him in battle and exploration. The North American version of the game includes the Fairy, Demon, Ghost, Bat, and Sword familiars. The original Japanese version of the game included the Nose Devil (functionally identical to the Demon, but with a Tengu mask) and Pixie familiars as well.
1231 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Crash games for playstion are very fun games,even better than the mario games. Out of the Crash seires I think this one is the best. There are alot of thing you can do and the bosses rock. The story line is the best in this game. It takes plase after Crash2 were Dr. Cortex ship falles down on a temple, wich releses a demon mask. The mask that pertected crash in the first two games stats talking and tells crash that the evil mask is his Brother and his plan to build a time machine to get crystles to
5837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hey if you've got the 1st RCT game be sure to be on the lookout for the 2nd one. With new scenarios [which are much much harder then in the first one] that put you in totally different situations [everything from a bridge, to a jungle to a cliff!] you are sure to get hours more gameplay from your orginal RCT game.
3. Riven is so immersive that you forget the everyday world. Your children will wonder why you haven't cooked dinner. Your friends will speculate as to why you have stopped answering the phone. Your spouse will become jealous of your relationship with a computer game (easiest solution: play it together).
6359 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 At the time I bought my Nintendo 64, it was for one reason and one reason only, "Goldeneye 007." The game was revolutionary when it came out, and took EVERYONE'S breath with the graphics and gameplay. Other N64 games have evolved into my favorites, such as: "Perfect Dark," "Madden 2001," and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time."
2299 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 nice, fast delivery, was what I expected
Well worth it. If you can get it, grab it.
I really only play it by myself, but it is so much funner to play with friends. You can get so angry when someone steals your star. This is how you get in fights with your friends.
1056 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My favorite part of this game is the battle mode. My friend showed me all the tricks he has learned from playing it. Like where to set traps and other stuff. The one player mode is fun too.
Another technical consideration, related to operating the game, is how new tracks are installed. They are installed in the '67 season Gem 2+ file during the download installation. Even though tracks show up in the '67 season file, cars from other seasons can run on the '67 tracks.
9872 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I heard some many things about the original Grandia that I had to get a copy. Since it was the beginning of the series, I just had to see what started it all. I was impressed with this one despite it being really old. All three of the Grandias emphasize something grand in there stories:
The strategic level is good but not great. You collect resources, you build things, you research spells, same as in most games. One nice addition is the ability of high level characters to train new units, letting them start off with some experience. This solves the problem that occurs in so many games of this type, where new units starting late in the game are basically hopeless.

9860 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not only is this the second part of Sonic 3, you also get to play as Knuckles! Knuckles has differnt abitlies than Sonic. For starts, he can climb things and glide for long distances. Very fun and challenging Sonic platformer. Get board with the levels but still wish you could play as Knuckles? That's fine! Becaus it also attaches to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 so you can play as Knuckles. A nice added bonus which takes this game far!
But the game shines in its Combat Simulator mode. It is a mode where you make your way through over 25 missions, completing random objectives from Uploading a terminal with a Data Uplink, to King Of The Hill (which pits you against one or more "bots" to take on a challenge that has you having to stay in a certain spot for 20 or so seconds, claiming that it's yours. If you do so, while the enemy stays away, you get the point, and move on to the next "Hill") to my favorite, Capture the case. Capture the case is a mission where you must go to your opponent's hideout and get their little case, bring it back to your hideout, and make it back to your own case. However, if the enemy has already made it to your case before you get back, you must chase them down, which is hella fun, in order for your case to return to its original spot. There are more missions such as just killing your opponent 10 times or holding onto a briefcase for as long as you can.
In Diablo II you get to choose from five character classes which are barbarian, sorceress, amazon, paladin and necromancer. Each class is unique and has its strengths and weak points. For example the barbarian is great at close-up combat but is poor in the magic department and the sorceress is almost completely magic-dependant whereas paladin has equal amounts of both. This game is divided into "acts," which are sub-divided to various missions. You start off at a rogue encampment in act I, and then move onto the desert town of "Lut Gholein" in act II (which is as far as I went before being deprived of my copy due to the addiction). I had a little trouble conquering the "arcane sanctuary" with paladin. Aside from doing what you are told by townsfolk, you can also buy and trade weopons, armour, head-wear, belts and numerous other items, which proves to be half the fun of the game. You can store some of your gear in your private "stash" found in each town, as well as keep a fair amount with you during your missions. To make things less nerve-cracking, the game makes use of "waypoints," so that when a new area is discovered and if its waypoint is found, even if you die you can warp right there again. Also, if you die once and "save and exit" the game your corpse will be in the town in the next game, so all the weopons and items can be recollected. It's a very wise decision to make during the harder, more remote missions.
3213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the first games ever released for the Dreamcast, and one of the best, Soul Calibur is amazing from start to finish. The graphics, control, special features, and fighting engine are superb, and this is the one game that if you own a Dreamcast you must have this as well. However, good luck finding it, when the Dreamcast came out, it sold pretty quickly, and Namco only released the game in limited quanitites, but this is one hell of a game, and its a better investment to buy a Dreamcast and this game rather than lay down 50 bucks for a single game on any of the other systems.
The difference with said title is the serious fun Unreal Tournament offers. Moreover, the game is easy to get into.
2871 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tarzan, is a mix of both modern platformers and old school style side scrolling action. This is a succesfull mix that results in a lot of fun.
the special stages are cool, but can be frustrating without a game genie. there are sonic 1 or 2 places where you get stuck in the enviorment. when you get all the emeralds and 50 rings in a level, becomming super sonic isn't a choice. but that doesn't slow this game down.
Junctioning isn't just a gimmick, however. It's a necessity to getting through the game as your characters stats won't grow fast enough. Different spells also have a different impact on certain stats. More powerful spells will do a better job than their weaker counterparts. You can also junction to increase your defense against status ailments and even increase your elemental defense enough to absorb spells.
What's most remarkable is how the game also addresses Superman's emotional state. I'm sure Kal-El struggles to use his powers properly; it's not easy for a near-invincible alien to do the right thing 24/7. Titus has tackled this concept very faithfully. You see, when Superman flies, he won't always do what the N64 Controller tells him to do. A free-spirited main character...brilliant!
opening was good.........game play was good.
How should I begin to describe this game? It's deep, engrossing, and the graphics are spetacular for a N64. Yes the newer games right now definitely have better graphics than this, but this game beats all of them in terms of gameplay, music, and theme. The story is old, but hey, it's a classic formula. Why change it? What would Zelda be without dungeons? This is one of the few 3rd person games I've played with great controls. The z-targeting system can change a traveling mode Link instantly to a combat alert, and maneuverable Link. The music fits the moods perfectly, from the dark shadow temple to the light and cheery music of the lost woods, it's great. Buy it, it's worth your money, and it's probably the best game ever for N64.
Reading other reviews on Amazon (and "Metroid Fusion" in particular), I cannot believe all the reviews "Metroid Prime" is getting. Don't get me wrong, it's certainly a good game, but it is NOWHERE NEAR THE QUALITY OF THIS GAME. By far, this is the best the Super Nintendo ever produced and it is therefore, the best in the series. Sure, the graphics may have aged (note to you gamers: just because Donkey Kong Country followed less than a year later, DOES NOT MEAN IT COULD'VE BEEN BETTER WITH THOSE TYPES OF GRAPHICS), but WHO CARES?! This game is a masterpiece. Don't be washed by away by graphics; BUY THIS GAME. It's a keeper.

Fun Factor
5553 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quake II is one of the original gems of PC gaming, if not just gaming itself. The graphics were pure gold for it's time (and really, they didn't age too bad). The soundtrack was killer. And the enemy types and guns were just huge. This is probably one of the best shooters to ever hit the scene and is still very much enjoyable to this day. The single player is incredible fun and can be played in co-op, much like all of the older id Software games. The game does have sort of the 'blue key' feel to some of the levels, but really, that added a bit to the game. Some may find that type of gameplay to be dated, but at least this makes a bit more sense rather just all doors being opened like todays games. Do aliens not have locks anymore? One of the coolest things about this game is having the a dead body attract flies to it (black pixels, to be exact) swarm bodies. It gives you a feel that there's stink in the game.
Sound: 9/10. Whether you go through a foot of snow or right accross jagged ice, there's a different noise. There is a different sound for everything, which is strange because really for the most part in many games on the N64 there is the same or a very similar song for everything in the game.
2793 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I tell you this, the creators of Riven sure did their homework in the four year gap between the original Myst and Riven. The graphic improved drastically, meaning whatever computer you were running the original Myst in '93/'94 (Myst first appeared on the Mac in '93, then the PC the following year) would probably not be adequate to run Riven. Certainly Myst had made even greater improvements in the graphics department since Riven, like the 360 degree panning feature for Myst III: Exile, and even more photo-realistic graphics and animation for Myst IV: Revelation, but even for 1997 standards the graphics to Riven still hold up, although it's rather obvious the graphics looks a little more pixelated during some of the animated scenes (like when you take a ride on the cable car, probably to keep the animation fast without slowing it down for the computers of the time). But for the most part, the graphics seem so realistic you almost feel like you're there. Of course the big pain is this game consisted of 5 CD-ROM discs, which you have to swap every now and then, it's too bad they didn't have an install feature where you could install all five discs on to hard drive and only need to use one disc to play the game (like the much maligned Schizm: Mysterious Journey, a game from Poland that's very much like Myst, which had five discs in the CD-ROM version, and you had the option for full install so you didn't have to keep swapping discs).
The graphics are also very nice, my older computer (I don't know the specs) was able to run the game quite well when it had problems with most other games.

8289 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I play a great many strategy games and I consider myself to be a fairly decent player, though not great by any means. On the one hand, I truly enjoy playing IG2. The mechanisms of planet building and support, the ship design, the research tree, and the general interface are all excellent and make the game a pleasure to play. Or would if the difficulties (easy, normal, hard) were actually indicative of anything. When I play a game on easy, I expect to learn how to play and very likely win on my first try. In IG2, the easy was so easy, I won before I really felt I had a handle on the game. Normal level should be a challenge. I should need to play well, and in the end, I should still only win about half the time. I've lost count of how many times on "normal" (as the Solarians) I have not even come close to winning. I get wiped out every time by a Kra'Hen fleet so large I can't even conceive of what I would need to do to make one half its size. Sometimes I die even sooner. Goodness forbid that I even try to play on "hard" difficulty. For any normal game, I have come to expect that the "hard" difficulty to really be "nearly impossible". In IG2, normal mode does this, and I feel the game is hardly worth the trouble as a result. I have tried as the Shinarians as well, with similar results. In conclusion, while I truly liked the game architecture, I cannot recommend this to anyone. I found this to be one of the most frustrating games I have played in quite some time.
9439 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wife was very happy with this. Great game and worked perfectly.

In short, MGS is simply a game you can't miss. If you go into the game yearning for something different from the typical action shooters of today, you should be in for a treat.
5091 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The graphics on Q3 seems to be slightly (reads very, very slightly; asymptotically so) superior than UT, but that is where the positive comparisons for Q3 stops. UT's map is a lot more creative (including such settings as a moving train, underwater base, and an old wooden ship), and the variety of options other than deathmatch (capture the flag, assult, etc.) puts Q3 to shame.
Bottom Line: Twisted Metal rocks!!!!!!!
5971 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rayman is back and better than ever on gameboy colors. The graphics are awesome with a huge variety of color. Rayman is trying to defeat the evil Mr. Dark and free all the toons. Like Warioland 3, this game also makes you go back to free toons you couldn't before because of special abilities like flying. Without losing any lack of controls, this platformer is a keeper. Rock on Rayman!
3602 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a shame really, how not too many people invested in this great system. Why didn't people invest? I have a few reasons.
My final analysis is that this may not be a game for fans of Baldur's Gate or Fallout, and with the later fans you will absolutely see what I'm saying when comparing Planescape to the post-apocalyse setting. That is where my fifth star dissapeared to. All in all, this is an excellent roleplaying game, but not for all RPG fans. This is a thinking game, not a combat game. A job well done once again at Bioware.
8054 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The history of Star Trek games has been a long, convoluted, and remarkably inconsistent one. Some games have been HORRIBLE, most have been remarkably average, but a few have been exceptionally well made.

People who love Twisted Metal Games should own the original and Black. Those are great games.

Power ups: Some courses have special cap power-ups which augment Mario's abilities. The Wing Cap allows Mario to fly; the Metal Cap makes him immune to most damage, allows him to withstand wind, walk underwater, and be unaffected by noxious gases; and the Vanish Cap renders him partially immaterial and allows him to walk through some obstacles such as wire mesh, as well as granting invulnerability to some forms of damage.

The story isn't terribly original. What is original is the style in which it is presented. This is no slick, Hollywood-produced motion-picture like Tiberian Sun or Red Alert 2. The production style is much closer to a pared-back Japanese anime. To be honest, despite the comparisons to Star Wars or Star Trek, Homeworld is a much closer relation to Star Blazers, Robotech or Macross. Especially when you have spaceships like the Heavy Cruiser (a very close relation to Robotech's SDF-1), or the Destroyer (Star Blazers fans will LOVE the wave-motion gun effects from its ion-cannons!).
9211 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 During the 16-bit age, the original era of video games were platformers, side scrollers, beat-em ups, shoot em ups, and the occasional great puzzle game. Then, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2 were met with extraordinary success, and the next thing you know fighting games are all the rage. Of that, we saw good and bad. Some of the good games included are the Mortal Kombat games, The Street Fighter 2 games, and a game like Primal Rage. Some of the bad games were titles like the legendary terrible Shaq Fu, Ballz 3-D, and Double Dragon 5. One game came out that was very different, and actually probably the best fighting game not named Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter 2. That game is Killer Instinct.
If you have SNES get this incredible game...It's very underrateed.
- This is the first game in the Soul Caliber franchise
There were great new elements as well. Diddy and Dixie can always team up as well. For one, with the tap of a button you can demand that one character hop on the back of the other. You can then hurl them at enemies or you can throw them to places you otherwise couldn't reach. What makes these new additions great is that they aren't just there for options. You're going to have to use them in order to fully complete the game. And there is a lot of stuff to do in Donkey Kong Country 2.

5896 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 When people play a Final Fantasy game they expect several things to come out of the finished game! For one thing a great story, great charicters, cool battle system, drama, comedy, and greatness, cool graphics, and overall a great game! That said and done Final Fantasy VIII is the worst example of how to make a great RPG! When a great RPG company like Squaresoft, who been making the best RPG's for years now, comes in and makes a game, people expect it to be great!!! Esspecally if it's a Final Fantasy game! Well let me tell you that Final Fantasy VIII is anyting BUT a great RPG!!! In fact this game is so pooryly thought out I am at a loss of words! I'm sure you've already herd complaints about the complicated battle system, cumcumber (And glitched) plot, and lack of charicter developement! So I'll spare you the details for once! Lets just say Final Fantasy VIII not only gives the Final Fantasy series a bad name, but it also gives RPG's as a whole a bad name! Thank you. Have a nice day!
Story\Originality: 2/10
Graphics: This was the first 16 Meg game on the Genesis. For those not in the know, this means that the game stored 16 megabits, or 16 MEGA POWER!!!!!!!!!!! Because of this enhanced storage, they were able to create more detailed graphics, more sprites, and smoother animations. The the smoothness of the character animations, and the bright, vibrant, and highly detailed backgrounds are simply gorgeous to gawk at, even today.
The five new character classes each have their own strengths and weaknesses. The new Skill Mapping in Diablo 2 makes you choose: Master a few a skills, or be jack of all trades, master of none?
Unlike Mario Party 8, there is a somewhat more interesting storyline where the six most famous characters of the Mushroom Kingdom (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, DK, and Wario) are arguing over who could be the Super Star. After a rather amusing argument sequence, the six are placated by Toad to play a variety of games in order to achieve good deeds and become the Super Star.
The story follows on from the prequel, and is intriguing, if rather sparse at times. The hero who killed Diablo in the first game, which you played as, is now possessed by the evil demon thanks to the soul shard embedded within him. Ironically the hero wanted to imprison Diablo within the shard, and then use his own body as a prison for the shard, but now the Lord Of Terror has overpowered the hero's will and taken control of his once noble body, and sets forth to release his brothers and open the gates of hell for the final time. Your job is to hunt down Diablo and playing as one of the 5 classes, you journey across 4 Acts, all of which are extremely detailed and well thought out in terms of difficulty balance. Act One alone is as big as the entire original game! The distances you can cover are truly humongous. There is a sense of restriction however, because there are pesky barriers set up to quarantine you within the zones. So there is no sightseeing here, you are given a path, and you've got to follow it in order to get the job done. The quests given are interesting and very fun, but the real shame is that there is so few of them. A couple more per Act wouldn't have hurt.
6118 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Beautiful game! I needed this to complete my Pokemon game collection and it was worth it. Now I have all the Pokemon variety for life! If you can, buy it!
-While the zones are a lot of fun to play through and there are a lot of them, it comes with the price of there being only 2 acts to complete per zone instead of 3 (except for Metropolis Zone). Some stages later on are only a single act long.
Ugh, this game gets boring really fast. Not only that, but it's just plain mediocre. Don't even bother.

4507 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Kings Quest series are probably the most memorable adventure games in existance. They appeal to children, adults, men, and women alike.

6854 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just found my old megadrive and this game and played on it, I realized how good it was and how fun to play it is. I remember when I was 6 and played on this and still I enjoy it. It is a challenging game and even now i can't get past the second level easy (i keep drowning) I used a cheat to play on the other levels and they are as hard. The only level I don't like is Special Stage cause i hate the 3D graphics for it. The levels all are challenging except for the first one, the only ones I completed are Casino, Emerald Hill and Hill Top the others are harder. The bosses are generally easy depending on where you are. The last boss I extremely hard and another thing is you don't have any rings to protect you. Overall this is a classic game which most people should enjoy.
704 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Cartridge came in good condition and the game works great :)
316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this because my HDTV only had one S-Video/AV input. The rest were HDMI/DVI-Audio/PC/USB inputs. Seeing as though I like to play game consoles such as Dreamcast, N64 & the Wii, I've decided to buy this to hook up such consoles into it. The AV selection works nicely. You just switch and that's it. This device is highly recommended.
Fnial Fantasy V contains the complex job system that enables you to create characters of different classes such as Thief, Black Mage, White Mage, and others (all of the classes on Final Fantasy Tactics are included, along with a few others unique to this game). The graphics are outdated, but the challenge of the game moer than makes up for the outdated graphics, and the replay value is high as well (you can start over, and make completely different customized characters to beat the game with again).
Then came release day. I still wasn't sold on it but after leaving work I figured... what the hell. Drove 45 minutes north to the nearest mall where a buddy mine worked at EBGames. Soon as I entered he was like "Did you preorder this!!". I told him no and that I wasn't really interested in RPG's as they always sound boring and I'd lose interest quick and waste my money. He showed me a quick demo and I admit, it got me thinking as to "I wonder what happens after this...". I finally said sure. He hooked me up with the strategy guide, free tshirt and the 3 disc game... 3 DISCS!! When I cracked open the case and saw 3 discs... I knew this would be an epic, legendary tale. I just didn't know how epic.
All-in-all, it's underrated. It's definitely worth a purchase.
Cons: Cant fly heavy bombers like the B-17, B-24, B-29, etc, Russian embellishment, Bad user interface, Runs slowly on older graphics cards.
Before playing Crash 3, I was almost CERTAIN that Crash Bandicoot was an overrated video game character because my first and only exposure to Crash was the very first game. I thought for sure Crash Bandicoot was either a Mario or an Earthworm Jim rip-off, and didn't deserve all the attention it got.
when you play Egg in the Classic edition you control a wolf grabbing eggs from chickens and catching them in your hat. While on Modern Mode your a Blue Yoshi eating cookies before they fall to the ground burnt to a black crisp or by eating bob-ombs if you get 3 misses your game ends but thats just the start this game has tons of replay value for the old fashion gamers of yesteryear if your a hardcore fan and you remember playing these back in the day this is one treasure you should not be without.
Now the last hing I can say is buy this game or you will definately be missing out on something big.
Not only does one have the option of designing a beautiful city, but to succeed must learn to make things work as well, solving problems along the way to make the city run smoothly and properly.
3592 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sega's Dreamcast may be dying, but it's still awesome. With a 128-bit proccesser, it makes it almost as good as PS2. So what if it can't play DVDs. They are plenty of great titles for Dreamcast including Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Sonic Adventure 2, NFL 2K2, and Crazy Taxi. Don't underestimate the Dreamcast. Get one before they're gone!
1148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just sickeningly good and nothing else since has matched it's gameplay, depth, charm, design and atmosphere. It is absolutely flawless and perfect.
7154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have a large collection of games, but Doom 64 is (without a doubt) one of my favorites! It's one of those games that's addictive. Gamers know what I mean... The kind that you think about at school or work or anywhere else and make you anxious to get home and get back to playing it! I enjoyed the other Doom games, but this one really keeps you on the edge!
Otherwise....another great platformer from the golden age of platforming, collect a thons.
Three worlds with a variety of levels and bosses and a fairly short length ensure you won't get bored. The game holds up extremely well in 2012, and I had no nostalgia-fueled rose-tinted glasses to view it with. The platforming is creative and very intense. Music is fitting, albeit low quality. Graphics are good. The only true annoyance is that the camera in some of the forward moving levels can cause some weirdness in jumping and landing on platforms. Overall, I was shocked at how much fun I had with Crash Bandicoot. I can't wait to play the sequels! But first I think I 'll try out Spyro the Dragon, see what I'm missing there...
2449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't care if you are 4 years old or 40 years old, put this game on and pick up a controller and you'll be playing for hours. I bought this copy for my cousin, who recently replaced the system that his parents sold years ago. He couldn't have been happier. I still like this one better than the Gamecube and Wii versions, because its simpler.
3348 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game was in perfect condition, no problems with sticker. Everything was perfect, thanks!
Overall, the game seems a =lot= easier than Diablo. Spells cost less, gold is more plentiful, magical items easier to come by, resurrection spells allow one surviving character to bring bacak one that just died, etc. etc. etc. And you have to worry less about moving in combat rather than attacking, as would happen in Diablo quite a bit.

MARIO'S BACK,AND THIS TIME HE'S BETTER THAN EVER!!!
1514 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love South Park! I remember walking around in middle school back in the 1990's with the South Park shirts on and everyone talking about the new episode! Times have changed but I still love South Park!
Not only does this game discourage leveling up, it discourages using magic, using guardian forces (in battle)... This game discourages playing it as though it were any other Final Fantasy. I love it.
965 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome game.
1419 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is so much fun. I've always been a big fan of Mario since the beginning. The graphics are great and the sound is pretty good too. There are many different goals to reach in each level. Whether you have to collect coins or stars to open new levels, I know you'll love this game.
Wow after all these years waiting-- this is it.....?!!!
Donkey Kong sticks to the same story as in the arcade game: You control Mario who must navigate a maze avoiding traps and enemies in order to reach Pauline and rescue her from Donkey Kong. After you clear the original 4 levels, Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline again and you chase after him through multiple worlds each with its own theme and levels. Now the main goal is to find a key in each level and use it to unlock the exit. To update the game and keep things fresh, Mario can use new moves, weapons and items to take out the enemies. He can even use ladders and flip switches to gain access to other areas of the levels. Once you finish a level or use all your lives, you are prompted to save your progress so you don't have to start over once you turn the game off.
When you first look at the controller it might seem like the weirdest thing ever. IN A GOOD WAY! When you pick it up and grab it it feels perfect. It does not only feel perfect, but it is perfect. To this day I have not found a single flaw with the controller. The buttons are perfectly positioned. The controller is simple and yet not too simple. Unlike the PS2 controller! The analog thumb pad is in the right spot and so are the analog thumb triggers. On the bottom of the controller is a little slot that you can stick the cable in so it is not in the way. The controller also has two slots in the bach fer a visual memory unit and a jump pack. In the front of the controller is a hole so you can see the screen of the VMU, which displays graphics according to whatever game you are playing. The plug fits easily into the controller port. Like I already said that this is a very good deal. You should get a couple of extras before they are all sold out.
I doubt I'll ever get bored with this game in the long-term. Someday I'll be a grandpa who's trying to show off the marvels of antique video gaming with this game as an example, and the grandkids will all feign interest before running back to their crysyal ball-shaped 3d holographic gaming platform, "or whatever these kids are into nowadays."
3565 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i had need for speed 2, 3, and high stakes and all were fun; liked the music and gamplay in high stakes, graphics could have been better though but other wise a good game. if you are into racing classics then this is the game to get.
as this will change your perspective on gaming forever in the most positive of ways!
8713 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It was just as described. It arrived ahead of time, was packaged properly, and plays great! I have nothing negative to say about the game or the purchase. I am pleased.
4. Opera House
3276 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without a doubt the best Resident Evil game ever made, "Code: Veronica" will amaze you with it's beauty, and scare the hell out of you with it's zombie shooting action. The graphics are super superb, looking almost movie like and giving you such a surreal feeling its like your interacting with a movie rather than playing a game. And like true horror should be, there's plenty of thrills, chills, and a hell of a lot of spills to behold. Never has being scared senseless been so fun. Essential for the Dreamcast owner.
Streets of Rage 2 is a side scrolling beat em up that charges you on a quest to rescue one of the heroes from the original Streets of Rage, Adam, from the Evil Mr X. The kidnapping, causes the rest of the streets to become over run by the bad guys. With that, it is up to you or you and a friend to take Mr. X and his goons out.
2.) Replayability and game design
Characters: Square dived in really deep on some characters background and left others barely scratched. Cloud and Sephiroth have the most character develpment in the game and their story's intertwine quite a bit. As the game progresses though, Sephiroth and Cloud's stories start developing on their own and not relying on each others. Aeris role and story in the game is probably the most important supporting characters in the game followed closely by Red XIII. Tifa, Barret and Cid get good stories into their backgrounds and definately add their importance in the story as well. Another member is Cait Sith who you find little about and forces his way into the party. Vincent and Yuffie are optional characters to have in your party and can easily be missed to get if you aren't paying attention, assuming you want them in the party in the first place. They don't play much part in the story and have very little background insight on them during the game.
5498 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Right now I have a Playstation 2, but have still kept all of my original Playstation games. I have over 20 Playstation 1 games, and Gex: Enter the Gecko, has got to be one of the best!
6522 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 As with the Final Fantasy Origins disc for sale through Amazon, this is a bootleg disc. It contains silver backed discs versus trademark original black PlayStation discs. I should have known better for the price and condition. These are considered some of the greatest Final Fantasy titles for crying out loud!
8379 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've played nearly every Squaresoft game for the SNES . . . I've played nearly every Mario game. Is this game the best game ever made. Definitely not! If this is your first RPG, well, okay, then maybe I can see why it appealed to you. But stacked against Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger? No competition. Well, let's get into the nitty gritty of this review, shall we? GRAPHICS: Admittedly, the graphics in this game are REALLY good, but they are not the SNES at its absolute best. SOUND/MUSIC: Goodness! It's been so long since I've played. Let me put it this way: I don't remember ANY specific tunes from this game. I'm sure the music was fitting, though. CHARACTERS: Like many have said, the ability to have Bowser in your party was just downright awesome. But then I can't help but wonder about this? Where's Luigi? They have this Geno guy, but they don't have Luigi. However, Frogfucius was really cool because I liked his name. But the one group of characters that I DIDN'T like were those silly Mighty Morphin Power Ranger look-alikes. I guess they were low on ideas that day or something. STORYLINE: You start in the 12 o'clock position on the world map and work your way clockwise, edging ever closer to this awesome looking sword that has a face built into it. You go down pipes, find old and new friends, fight evil, go to weddings, etc. BATTLE SYSTEM: Not too different from other Squaresoft RPG's--it's turn-based. Each character has a different weapon and special abilities. OVERALL: Only Squaresoft could have made this game what it was--any other company would have botched it up. If you want a fun RPG with variety and--most of all--Mario, then this is not a bad game. Gamers who like the Final Fantasy series MIGHT feel a little let down though.
The story nearly makes the gameplay endurable. I didn't know much about Vampire's universe, and was intrigued by the "vampire mafioso" storyline. Rather than preying on innocent damsels in distress, Vampire's protagonists are a human-sympathetic clan at war with other more sinister vampire families. The story unfolds through fairly taut and convincing (for a video game) dialogue, and the occasional cutscene. I was never bored with the story progression, and my curiosity about the next winding turn kept me playing for a good while. Eventually the infuriatingly clumsy and often poorly balanced gameplay soured the experience for me though.
9936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thanks!
Another innovative feature is that you get a ranking based on the total amount of time it took to complete a scenario, the number of saves and healing items you use. If you do well, you can unlock some goodies such as infinite ammo for a sub machine gun, gatling gun, rocket launcher, unlock special outfits and three new mini games. The first mini game, you play as Hunk, whose mission is to escape the Raccoon City Police Department with the latest G-Virus created by Umbrella. The second mode is known as Extreme Battle in which you play through the entire map of the game and you have to locate four special bombs to destroy the T-Virus in Umbrellas Lab before it can cause a lot of damage. You get to play as four characters: Leon, Claire, Ada and Claires brother Chris. Each has their own set of weapons and you can adjust a difficulty setting to fight stronger monsters including bosses from the regular game. The third and final game mode is called Tofu and it is the strangest mini game I have ever seen. You play as this giant block of Tofu (Yes, I am dead serious, a giant piece of Tofu) and in terms of the objective its the same as Hunks mission except you play as Tofu, who is only equipped with a combat knife, so it makes this mini game very difficult to complete. Ive completed the mode as Hunk, but never as Tofu. The good news however is that Tofu takes a lot of hits to kill so basically the only way to complete this game is to run. Dont even bother fighting the enemies, the knife in Resident Evil 2 is just extremely weak and isn't worth the time. Still this mode is worth playing just for the amusement factor because Tofu says some funny Japanese phrases whenever he gets hurt. Its funny, even though I cant understand it. It is also pretty difficult to unlock, you have to get an A ranking at least six times to play this mini game. For the Extreme Battle and Hunk, you only need two A rankings.
7416 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Too many words exist to describe this masterpiece game. The original PlayStation had quite a few hit games in its time, but this would be one I would rate within the top 10 best games ever. The sequels, not so much, but this game had it all: the capturing storyline, the incredibly clear and believable character voices, great sound effects, but mostly the true darkness this game entails--hell on earth in mid-evil times, and you're a vampire with a cache of weapons and spells out to deal justice. The view was interesting for it's time, 3-d from above, but it's amazingly easy to navigate, especially once you can morph into animals.
- The dialog can drag on a little bit
7774 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You can't beat the classics: NES SNES and now even N64 is considered classic. Diddy Kong Racing will be fun for the rest of my life. The game itself is in great condition and I will be playing this one frequently.
Get the game, have fun with it. Enjoy the 2d suikoden games forever if you can.
5697 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy 8 is about Squall Leonhart and his companions as they become a part of a struggle to stop evil from destroying the planet. The graphics was great and looking better than Final Fantasy 7. The sound was awesome. The leveling up system is the same where you fight and level up, but a new junction system is introduced for enhancing the character's statuses. For my opinion the junction system is annoying and helpful in a way, but you will see what I am talking about when you play the game. The story is great and will make you dwell in it. So get this game and you will enjoy it.
The graphics are phenomenal, which is one HUGE positive with Super Metroid. You've heard countless times someone refer to something as "unique" and you're probably getting sick and tired of it. Well, in this case, the graphics ARE totally unique, because I can't think of another game out there that shares the kind of graphics featured in this game. I can understand people who aren't comfortable with the music in Super Metroid and find it disturbing. Just imagine how freaky the music was for me back in 1994 when a game like this was the first of its kind!
-Great Level desighn
8562 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, all RPG's should look into this game. Squaresoft and Nintendo make a unstoppable combination. Unforunately, Squaresoft decided to take the wrong route with Disney's Kindom Hearts, which is nothing compared to Mario RPG. The characters are sweet, and the little secret behind Culex is sweet (Theres a way you can fight a FF2/4 guy in this game with the original FF2/4 Boss Music.) The storyline is actually understandable, Mario's funny since he can't talk, so explainings a whole new thing. Add in a sweet Battle system, a sword, and Geno, and the games the best RPG ever created to this day. No FF10 or FF11 w/internet will ever beat a game like this.
7348 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ok
2083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are many aspects of this game that i love.
Anyways, this is a classic.
Instead of clogging you with a bunch of characters, some clearly inferior to others, you get two: a boy and his dog. The dog is a powerhouse, and the boy can do magic. This is the best magic system ever; you but your ingredients and you can keep casting the spell as long as you have the right stuff.
BUY IT!
3308 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This vendor is quite something. They sent me exactly what I asked for, the resident evil 2 N64 port in nearly half of the predicted shipping time, and that was on normal shipping! This package is just a cartridge though, no original game box or anything. Aside from a few scratches on the back labels and some dust in the main receptor, it was perfect. My order couldn't possibly have gone better.
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
Story: Is rather linier not alot "Side Quest" and your basic Hero must save world type of story. 7/10
I won't reveal any more of what happens through out the game to those people who may have not yet had a chance to play this classic. I think one of the several reasons why this game is so memorable are the live action cut scenes, (which were the first Star Wars footage shot in almost fifteen years). Kyle is handsome and dashing, Jan Ors is beautiful and witty, and the other characters like Rahn, Jerrik and his henchmen Maw, Boc, the beautiful and deadly Sariss all go a long way to immerse the player in the finest first person shooter I have ever played. I still find enjoyment in this title, even though it is four years old and starting to look dated, the game still holds my attention. Of the Star Wars games released to date, this is by far the most superior, engrossing and ultimately rewarding of the lot.
Final Fantasy V is a game with 4 characters and uses what many RPG players may know as the "job class" system. In other words, the character can be a knight, monk, or ninja, specializing in skills unique to each class. The magic is bought in stores, which I don't necessarily like, but the game itself is solid.
(sorry it took so long to review! ...) :P
Well, "Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned" had great potential -- Rennes-le-Chateau and vampires! Neat! But poor gameplay really squandered that potential.
1803 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I don't think this game is good it is I beat the game before and it was ruined for me the levels were empty feeling it was a crappy game I like about this game is the animals and the graphics. The Gnasty Gnorc boss fight was more like a chase instead of destruction I think this is a touch of old flights and bad name levels who could name a boss called Blowhard? I give this an above average 2 stars out of 5
7828 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've spent years playing this game as a child, and there is tons of races and a variety of bright optomistic characters. The best part of this title is multiplayer. Multiplayer has 3 diffrent games: Battle (you shoot eachother) Race, and capture the flag. There are 3 vehicles you can use in this game too. Plane, kart, and hover craft. If your playing solo there is also an adventure mode where you go through a nice adventure.
setup program was unable to recognize my sound card, and
2. Both of the movies {I am awaiting the 3'rd movie next year}
Lastly, I found this game a decent value in terms of length. TOSC is now a bargain bin purchase, and although some customers here like to brag (lie???) about how the game only took them 10 hours to complete, Tales took me betwen 1 and 2 weeks to finish. I admit that I may not be a master AD&D player, yet I did successfully complete BG and felt that my party was very much up to the challenge of the expansion pack.
Okay that's all the good stuff about the game, but I did say the actual game play was merely average. I meant that. The game is incredibly static. While you can travel all over the place and see the beautiful sites and sounds (which is a good thing if you think about it) the game will not progress until you take a specific action or interview a specific person. You play a detective in the game, but since the game is so linear you really don't get a chance to stretch your detecting skills much.
167 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My son loves it he says it makes it more comfortable and easier on his hands for those marathon Black Ops 2 sessions.
Now for the bad...nothing ever really happens in this game. At times, it is downright BORING. You wander around in the pitch black half the time waiting for something really bad to happen...but it never does. When I say this game is dark, I mean dark as in no light. You can't see half the time and the worthless flashlight that you have runs out of batteries every five minutes. The controls are sloppy and unnecessarily difficult. The weapons/ammo are limited and you really have to search for them in some of the later levels which makes the game seem contrived, like they added that feature only to make the game longer. Alien Trilogy was a much better game. Like the Alien movies, too many sequels makes for a predictable and downright boring ride.
The sound is more forgettable than anything in this game. The soundtrack does serve its duty well in creating and maintaining a frightening atmosphere, but there's just not anything noteworthy enough to stick out after over a decade. The sound effects, while not fantastic, serve their purposes extremely well. Given the player's mood, one would still be prone to jump when a noise is heard off-screen.
7041 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When Nintendo first sent out its N64 development kits to third-party developers, there must have been a sticker on the box that said "please make a racing game." There is no way around it: You all have at one point played an N64 racer, be it from Midway, Human, Boss Game Studios, Imagineer or Nintendo itself. Luckily, Extreme-G, the latest one out for the N64, is quite unique (at least until Nintendo's own F-Zero 64 arrives next year).
3804 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Dungeon Keeper 2 is a great game. The plot is that you build a dungeon to attract creatures to fight heroes to get portal gems to give to the Horned Reaper who collects them to get to go to the Overworld [our world]. Sadly this never happens because number 3 was canceled but the game is a hidden jewel.
The other characters not in the main lineup are good too - we got Doctor. B in our game - but he's annoying because he keeps falling over - but he has some good moves.

You can literally blow zombies in half with a single shotgun blast! To add even more creativity to the game, Capcom allowed the top-half of their bodies to CRAWL after you after they've been blown in half. Sometimes, only two or three handgun shots will kill a zombie off, while other times it might take up to eight or nine shots to kill one. It's all part of the mystery and uncertainty that makes shooting these bad boys so much fun.
- Arrived quickly, reliable seller.
Graphics to this day (2007) don't look bad at all.
2129 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked exactly as advertised and came packaged neatly. Now I can play Donkey Kong 64 and Majora's Mask!
9733 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This by far is the best twisted metal. blowing all the ones before it out of the water. featuring not only realistic cars, but, some non realistic cars it thrashes the competition. this is the best twisted metal. TM 3 is the second best.
Right now, you can get this game for about $2, so I'd buy this cheap, fun game.
1581 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I first played this game (seven years ago) I instantly got hooked. Twisted Metal was the first of its kind. No one had ever heard of a car game where you drive around blowing your computer opponents away. Even though the gameplay was drawling as you did the same thing for level after level after level, no one cared. That's how great this game was (and still is). Twisted Metal gave the world of gaming a new insight. It started this chain reaction that just could not be stopped. The characters are awesome and the gameplay is phenomenal.
Mario will also auto side-scroll through Worlds 2-3 and 4-3 on a submarine and airplane, respectively. Finally, whenever he reaches the end of every World, he will have to face a huge boss -- lion, seahorse, etc. Overall, Mario fans will truly appreciate Super Mario Land, as it is STILL a mega smash 25 years later!! :)
5245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok, I have always considered this game as THE best game I have ever played and haven't posted a review but why now? I recently have purchased and finished Metal Gear Solid 2. I had such a high expectation for the sequel because the first one was such a GREAT game.
The games are extremely tough however, even on easy setting. I even think they're tougher than Castlevania on NES, which I have beaten. I've been getting my butt kicked constantly by enemies. But the difficulty is rewarding and makes you want to keep trying.
1312 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfect. Received in 3 days!
2202 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 didn't work at first just had to warm it up its been working 30 days straight.
The sound is the typical recycled grunts and slams on the mat. While the music is halfway decent, that's about the only redeeming factor. These flaws would be fixed in the sophomoric attempt Royal Rumble. This title, however, was best avoided then back in the day, and now as well.
3842 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 System Shock 2 is hard to categorize, because it blends several genres and styles of games so well. It's a Role-Playing First-Person Shooter Science Fiction Survival/Horror game, with some extra twists here and there. If you wished Half-Life was more like Deus Ex, or you wanted to play the more violent and scary parts of Thief with 22nd century firepower, this is the game you want to play.
3012 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is EXCELLENT! Even more so for beginners or people who've never played a Final Fantasy game before! The battle system is pretty easy and the equipment and command systems aren't hard to get either. The storyline is deep and memorable too, which is DEFINITELY a plus! You definitely won't regret picking this game up!
6360 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This bundle was originall ONLY offered in japan (at toys r us of course) but now even as gamecube and gameboy advance are on the way there is still reason to buy this set. Zelda has been put out on gold colored carts and this set features the n64 zelda's gold color. i'm buying it for this reason and because there WON'T be another gold zelda cart for a home system EVER EVER AGAIN . That's why this set's a must have set for me! zelda forever!!(2 controlers are a real plus systems usually only have 1 in the box leaving u to buy extra pads yourself)
3997 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Another childhood game that I had to buy again. I loved this game growing up and I'm glad I bought it again The product came fast and free of damage. It was brand new.
The graphics are still top-notch, but the crme de la crme is that wonderfully defiant physics-model. Even though I'd had other racing sims for some years, my first week with GPL was a joke. But after about 40 hours on the sim, I could at least complete a couple of laps at speed without taking out a flagman, the crowd or another car. Another month and I could actually race a fairly decent race, so long as I didn't get too agressive. These are brutal cars on unforgiving tracks, just like the orginals were. Close the throttle too quickly and you'll swap ends in a second, into a brick building -- run-off areas were often non-existant. There is little wonder that so few drivers of the 1967 era are alive today -- regrettably the cars and the tracks of the day ate them.
As Harry travels through the town he meets other characters - Cybil Bennett, a police officer also trapped in the town like him, Dahlia Gillespie, priestess of an ancient religion, Lisa Garland, a nurse haunted by something she has seen, and Alessa, a girl who seems to be at the center of the mystery of the town itself. He amasses weapons to fight the many creatures in the town, twisted creations of a demented mind, and finds objects to help him solve puzzles along the way. And as he progresses, he travels between worlds...from this world's dangers to the warped Otherworld of Silent Hill, where nothing seems to make sense but everything is connected.
NUFF SAID!
The perspective is akin to Baldur's gate and Diablo, although unlike those games there are no multiplayer capabilities. You still are able to pick up companions in the game such as Morte the floating talking skull, Annah the red haired half-demon woman with a rat's tail, Ignus the fire elemental, and many others. All of them have their own skills and their own personalities. (Quite often they'll bicker at each other!)

A simply stunning storyline.
6570 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First off, this is reveiw of ff6 in ffa. FF6 is my personal favorite of the cartrige-era FF titles. I bought FFA on a whim and am glad I did so. The first time I went through it, my memory card said 40 hours. While the disc-accasse times are at times unbearable, I worked around by using a ps2 and seleted the fast load option. Once you finish the game you will unlock FF6 artwork and the sound test. The feture I appecated the most was how you could memo-file(softsave) your game in progress.
This is still, to me anyway, the best game of the series.

BLAST CORPS is a good game, but only worth buying at a very low price.
In the previous 2 parts we had gems. Now, this was not enough for the overactive designers. They introduce trophies in this new part. For a trophy, you have to finish a level within an allotted time. This is not that difficult, but you cannot achieve it in every levels. Some levels are extremely difficult to finish fast. I picked all the gems and all but on trophy, and imagine my frustration.

956 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My weekends during high school revolved around playing this game with friends, yelling, and ingesting copious amounts of kool-aid and chips. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking but even today this game is insanely fun to play. Let's remember the N64. Cartridge system, ahead of its time, player of some of the most memorable games of the past 30 years. Mario Kart 64 is definitely one of those games. Graphically, it was gorgeous in the 90's. The colors are vibrant, character models are blocky(anti-aliasing wasn't cared about much back then), and the music freakin' rocked! Game play is excellent with each racer having their own feel. There are tons of power ups and weaponized items to truly jack up your competition which helps to create some of the most frustration last second finishes or losses probably ever.
The game is one of the best racing games on the N64. It's better than WaveRace, Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero X, and even Excitebike 64. Heck it's one of the best games on the N64! If you haven't played this game, then you don't know what you're missing.
Sanitarium throughout brings you in and out of "consciousness", traveling to different landscapes , sometimes in different bodies, and yet th ewhole thing flows very cohesively. I must admit the ending was a little disappointing and predictable but it did not spoil the fun.
8813 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the only game that I play every day. According to the NES version I am a Tetris master. But this is a review of the Gameboy version. First off this is not in color. Save high scores. So if you don't enjoy old technology don't buy it. Stop reading, buy the app, the Ds version, or Play Halo for all I care. The game is outdated the new versions are better(in my opinion). But I enjoy this one so much. To describe this phenomenon I will give an example. The Gameboy version of this game is like candles. The newer versions are like light bulbs. Even though candles are outdated they are still enjoyed. When we actually need light we use a light bulb. So here are some positive things about this game.
4636 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After solving "Fallout" shortly after reviewing it some months ago, I immediately loaded "Fallout 2" and set off on the second part of the adventure. Since then, I've been far too busy to review anything, until I solved it last night. "Fallout" is just the trainer for the big one!

2422 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great quality just like the good old days! A little pricey, but what are you going to do its Smash Bros!
7393 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While I have played this game in the past and absolutely love this game, this particular one doesn't work at all. I came home from training and tried to play the game and it doesn't work. I thought it was the system, but all of my other games work with no issues. So, I haven't been able to enjoy it at all.
Remember, KA is a Star Trek game, so you know it's going to have bugs. If you do not install the latest patch the game will freeze during heavy battles. This is bad since the game AI will constantly be playing "bumper cars" when it starts to lose a fight. If the enemy ship is smaller than the vessel that you are commanding, then this is more annoying than fatal.
9059 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To this day I still play the expansion Brood War with my friends and step children. I have been playing computer games for years. Since 1986 actually. Warcraft was a great deal of fun but when Starcraft first came along I didn't like what I saw on the box (Strange alien graphics) so I didn't get it right away. My stepson finally talked me into and I haven't regretted it. It is absolutely the best game to sit down and relax and enjoy for a few hours. Not to thought provoking to give a headache but challenging enough to draw you back. I especially love it on battlenet with my friends and family. I have almost 800 wins online and we even started a gaming clan a few years ago because of this game. We now play many others, but we regularly go back to this one. One reason is when the internet is not kind to dial-up users this is one of the few games they can still play online.
The amount of mini games is the most ever for any FF. the amusment park has an arcade and rides. A battle arena to compete for really good prizes. You can bet on, race and breed chocobos. The amount of things to do is astounding. The sidequest are fun and can help your party if you complete them. One could easily get lost and forget about the main story.
If you're unsure of your game's "version", you can easily find out by selecting the "New Game" option on the game menu. You should see a "detect game" option, select it, and the game's title and version should appear. Anyhow, using it is simple, just choose the cheats for the game you want to play. You can get cheats online if you don't want to make cheats yourself, which is what I would recommend if you're like me and don't know a thing about hacking.
1576 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've only played Twisted Metals 3 and 4, but not the first two games in the series...Twisted Metal 4 has cheats to unlock the bosses like Sweet Tooth, Minion, etc.
The Dreamcast is possibly the best console I've had the pleasure of wasting my eye-sight on. It's the first system to launch with a successful online plan (*** for Genesis, it tried yet nobody I know knows they really DID try). That, and it has some of the best games available for it: Soul Reaver, MDK2, Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi, many more to name. In addition, it has the most confortable controller I've ever used (good for big or small hands). And now that Sega is out of the hardware industry and trying to sell-out their whole Dreamcast inventory, the price for the Dreamcast has now dropped to $50. It goes neck-to-neck with more recent consoles and it's dirt-cheap.
"Titanic," is moved forward mostly by dialogue and certain actions, such as retrieving a painting, unlike many adventure games today, which seem to be more mystery/puzzle games. You go from one puzzle to another to another or have to spend half the playing time moving the mouse over every inch of the interface in attempt to find some infinitesimal object.
70 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I Just keep it around my house to feel like an awesome person. Sometimes people come over and high five me.
And believe it or not, the graphics were top notch for the time period. This isn't Mario by any means. But the game is a classic in its own right. Two thumbs up.
all in all, very fun and very annoying all in one pretty package
8332 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 One of the things the saturn is best known for is the arcade quality games it had on it, this is definately one of them. Features include a cast of 11 fighters, each with a diverse style and interisting costumes, a decent amount of options including 2 variations of the game(2&2.1)some great backgrounds(the Dural Stage Rules) and argueably the best graphix of a 3-D fighter for the Saturn. Some of the downsides: the infamous floaty jump that allows your character to jump 3x it's hight and fly clear across the arena, the camera during the win poses sometimes gets stuck inside the character, then theres the missing pixels that plague every attempt Saturn has made in the 3-D world. When I first got this game I'd have given it a 5 but after playing Fighting Vipers and Fighters Megamix this game just started to collect some dust. In all a great game, but Fighters Megamix blows it out of the water.
8846 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This instant classic works no problem at all on my old GameBoy and could not beat the price on it
Even with it's flaws, Star Ocean: The Second Story is an above average RPG. While I'm not sure if I would call it a "classic", I would recommend it to anyone who had the time or showed interest in the genre.
4310 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Homeworld's best features-graphics engine, scripting, control mechanics, narrative flow, and mission structure, are so fluid, so highly immersive, that it makes the experience far more than the sum of its parts. The combination of large scale fleet actions and cinematic perspectives creates the most impressive space combat ever made for a strategy game. Its like being in the middle of, and in cotrol of, a Star Wars battle. 16 single player missions can make for some short gaming time but most people go through the campaign at least twice-its that good. In single player, you'll encounter 2 races, aside from the main one that your trying to decimate.
8356 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Many people confuse this for being a port of Donkey Kong Country, whereas it is a different game altogether. It has its own unique levels, designs, etc.
3936 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow, this has got everything! More options, weapons, levels and loads more than was offered previously. I first picked up the original Worms when it came out back in '95 (it featured the song "Wormsong", which is where the above quote comes from), and I own every edition that has been released since, and lemme tell you, this is the biggest, baddest, least flawed edition of them all.
Game Design-4/5, It would be perfect, but it lacks an ice zone or a desert zone. It's a bit short compared to, oh say, Super Mario World, but it has high replay value. Hidden Levels too!
lots of cheats to make the game even better
Final Words:This game was great, no doubt, but Syphon Filter 2 was a bit worse, and it missed out on the Combat shotgun(Don't get me wrong, it's still a good game, not as good as the first. Now I dunno why they put out Syphon Filter 3, that game stinks. Now the're putting the climax of the series on the PS2, Syphon Filter, omega strain online. Let's just hope omega strain can be as fun as this classic.
6887 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game and it works perfectly. Thank you
Sound: 8/10 - Very much improved from the first Crash Bandicoot. When things hit the ground, they make a bang, when creatures talk it's amazingly clear and when you're in danger, you certainly know by the sound a creature is making, the rumbling of the ground or the thrilling score.
Unlike Resident Evil, which I do love too, the control are not awful, and Harry is just a regular guy, with no experience with a gun, and he has no idea what is going on, which makes it 10 times scarier than ANY Resident Evil game. I think if you want a game as close to a horror movie as possible, this is the game for you. Go buy it when you can.
I take away one star because some of the puzzles can be ridiculously difficult expecially if you don't understand what you're supposed to be doing, but don't let that stop you. If you really need to you can always find a walkthru.
9247 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne has got to be one of my all time favorites. For those people who love John Woo action shoot them up with two pistols, The Matrix type action with Oozies or Sincity/Frank Miller Comic Books - this game is just that! With a brilliant Frank Miller type storyline and action that makes many action movies look bad, this game is a must own for any die hard action fan. This is a third person view type game though, but it does makes sense in that it would be the only way to see all the action in a cinematic movie viewpoint. This is the first game to introduce the new concept of bullet time. Bullet time is the idea where when the action gets so involved and gritty that the motion of the battles goes into slow motion mode (example: Neo in Matrix when he dodges bullets in slow motion) You actually see the bullets fly passed you as you jump back with two pistols blazing and scraping the enemy just as his bullets carves away paint on the walls. The graphics for this game surpasses any other game - even surpasses games such as Half-Life and Alice. There were several instances during gameplay that I forgot that everything wasn't real and that it was 3D sculpted. Perhaps most of the graphics are created in 3D Studio Max - which gives the game its realistic Hollywood movie look. Gameplay is excellent and there are many weapons to choose from (Single and twin Baretta's, single and twin Ingram Oozies, Pump action shotgun, Sawed-off shotgun, Sniper rifle, grenade launcher, molotov bottles, grenades, machine gun rifles, baseball bat, etc...) The game even features mods that you can make yourself and levels that can be designed by you. I believe there was a mod at (website address) that has a Face/Off level with speeding boats and face off shootouts in churches; and another mod with the Matrix lobby shootout with Neo and Trinity blasting away guards. This mod has even twice more the weapons than the game ordinarily has - including a kung-fu feature where you can do Backflip kicks, kung-fu roundhouses and kicks, and jump kicks all while holding your weapon. For people who are thinking - "but this is a third person view type game like Resident Evil!," think again - there is a mod that can be downloaded that enables you to play in first person view/shooter much like that of quake and unreal (You can even have picture in picture of both views at once) This game is definitely for people who cannot get enough of cool John Woo and Matrix type action movies. If you even thought about taking on the entire mafia mob all by yourself - Max Payne does just that! Buy it!!!!!
In the words of Gex the Gecko: "It's gonna' be Deisha OUCH...all over again."

3415 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Finally tested with a new game and the system doesn't work! It just powers on and says insert game disc. It will play all my cds just not game discs? I don't recommend this seller as he said it was a working system and clearly had not tested it fully.
Most people who have lived around the time that this classic came out remember back in the early 90s when gamers everywhere held tightly onto their NES's and shouted "Mario! Mario!" all over the world... Okay, maybe not, but that's how the one SMB3 commercial went anyway. So it seemed that with the (then)recent release of SMB3, the plumber would always dominate 2D platforming... or would he? The Sega Genesis had been out for a couple of years by this point, and while there were many classics, no mascot was there to stand up to all the koopa troopas and toadstools of the big N. Enter Yugi Naka and crew to come up with the true origin of the battle between the 16-bit giants Nintendo and Sega: the creation of Sonic The Hedgehog.
The online community has seriously made at least 50,000 completely unique maps.
Be careful, though, this game will cause you to want to talk about its philosophical ramifications to friends who will be absolutely lost after you get absorbed into the world of Planescape. The game is best played in really big blocks of time (8+ hours) followed by reflection about how great the game is. I'm serious about that.
If you do not have the gun, strongly consider buying the "Stringer Light Blaster & House Of The Dead 2 Bundle Pack" by Pelican. ...
5318 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 First off, I'd like to thank Jaleco for the effort they put into making this game. It's not the greatest in the world of survival entertainment, but it was a good first effort, and I wanted to acknowledge that. The game has a fair amount of good and bad points, and I'm going to go over all of them, starting with the bad just to get them out of the way, and to end this review on more of a high note since I did enjoy this game more than I didn't enjoy it.
Still a fairly vibrant online community with plenty of opponents to play.
To give the graphics some credit, they really do (perhaps unintentionally) add to the atmosphere and the loneliness of being on some faraway planet by yourself. This is a pretty underrated aspect of the game, I believe.
If you're a big Zelda fan and love the hardcover deluxe guides that they release with each game, this is a great box set and totally worth it!
4853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now that we're used to wireless controllers, and like to sit back on the couch, Dreamcast controllers might feel a little bit too short.
Also, the cyber-environment in System Shock, which many loved, is not in this game.
Outstanding voice acting and scripting. Hilarious game without making fun of itself. Tough but logical puzzles that will have you scratching your head. Beautiful and ORIGINAL storyline, movie material right here.
The graphics were generally detailed, but pixellated. 3D models had a tendency to cut in and out of the screen.
4075 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Half-Life is incredible. The story keeps pulling you along to see how it will all end. And with the incredible enemy AI and fantastic level design, it's utterly addictive! I like it so much because there are so many memorable scenes in the story. I played this game once before, but never finished it. Now that I'm playing thru again, I remember battles that were particulary viscious - Killing the monstrosity in the Blast Pit - having head crabs jump on you in the blackness of the tiny air shafts - fighting the soldiers as they lob grenades and work as a team - the ride on the railcar - ascending the nuclear core using the portals - ....
3062 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game brings back memories of when jason came over my house with his PS1 memory card and he was playing parappa the rapper in the basement and he was cool and this little girl she was a baby back then and now she should be around 9 years old well she was sucking on the memory card and when we put the card in everything was deleted LOL!!!!!!!!!!! and this game is great from graphics, to gameplay, to music. it has everything. you want a love story it has it. you wanna cry, it has it. you wanna feel good, it has it. everything it has to offer. the only this it doesnt have is for attracting ignoramouses that overlook the game and only care about whats new and graphics. and mike used to like it and he is in SOG 4 LIFE!!!
6044 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 GTA2 is one of the best and most exciting games I've played in a while. It's great. It brings the life of a gangster into your hands. You can hi-jack cars, collect the latest weapons, do mostly anything a gangster can do. To tell you the truth it's not that much like Driver, and it's in my opinion twenty times better than driver. Even if the graphics aren't as good, the gameplay and action are better. The first time I saw this was at Blockbuster and i just looked at the back cover and saw the graphics and put it back down and rented Driver. In this game there isn't a moment to sit still. It's a game where you have to be smart. BUY IT!
6749 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is retro but very good. It had a classic look to it and still looked very good for being 16 bit.
9625 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played a lot of games. I can tell you that Soldier of Fortune is one of a kind. Some may disagree with me, but I say that it's the first realistic first person shooter next to maybe half life. I love the fact that if you shoot a guy in the leg, he hops around on one leg, and head shots are automatic death. I love the fact that when you cut a guy, there are actual slice marks and not bullet holes or nothing at all. I love the fact that there are 'actual' weapons to choose from instead.. say.. a worm shooter made out of an alien's spleen. Not to mention the great story line. When I look at a game like this compared to say, Quake 3.. I think, 'Why am I so bored with Quake3?' The reason is this.. Quake 3's single player stinks... If you want to enjoy it and many other games like it, you need a cable modem and play a decent deathmatch. However, Soldier of Fortune's single player mode was very well thought out with a planned storyline. The effect and suspense that the levels create is sometimes spooky... I am always catching myself tilting or moving my head so I can try to peek around that corner so I can see the bad guy, and then jumping when he appears behind me. If you want a game that doesn't require a cable modem to enjoy the game, soldier of fortune is a good bet.
GRAPHICS 7/10 the characters look kind of flat and enviroment could have been a little more polished
I hate to see the kids back in 1995 '96 try to beat this game. it took me 2 hrs to beat a world.
7058 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am not a big fan of "shooter" games, but my ex had this game and it was loads of fun! We only played multiplayer, and we would run around these maze type buildings and try to take each other out. We would set traps, throw grenades at each other and run like heck. My personal fav was sticking that one gun on the wall and when they went running past it, it would shoot them until they were out of range or sight. Being the alien was my favorite character; I just loved seeing my little alien rear end run past a doorway on his split screen. It is the only Nintendo 64 game I remember playing, and actually I am writing this review because I was considering buying a Nintendo 64 (and this game) just so I could play it again, because it was that fun. Then I felt I should share my experience. Never played Goldeneye, so I am not familiar with the story or any of that. Just loved the multiplayer of this game.
I would definitely recomend it
if i press A in the controller, the game detects A being pressed two times, this is for all buttons, without the cord the error is no longer there.
However, Final Fantasy Tactics was notorious for being an incredibly challenging game. In order to survive some of the games toughest battles you'll have to spend hours roaming around to learn abilities and raise levels. Enemies don't let up and they actually are quite smart. They'll take advantage of your parties disadvantages by usually attacking the weakest character or even ganging up on certain characters. It's also no help that their attacks deal a startling large amount of damage. If you want to survive in Final Fantasy Tactics, level grinding is a must and it's not negotiable.
9313 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great arcade stick at a very reasonable price - I got it cheaper on Amazon NEW in the box, than I could find it used on other sites. Works best on a firm surface, but I had no problem setting it on my lap - the extra space under the buttons allows your hand to rests and holds it in place nicely.
2551 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's been nearly fifteen years since the plumber wandered into the Mushroom Kingdom, and gaming has never been the same since. When the NES was released in 1985, the game that shipped with the system was the instant classic Super Mario Bros. And what better way to kick off the first year of the Game Boy Color's life than with a true Mario game? The Game Boy Color game Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a pixel-by-pixel translation of the original NES game, with a ton of added features. And because the original Super Mario Bros. still holds up extremely well after all these years, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is an absolutely fantastic game that borders on perfection ? perfection in Game Boy standards, of course. There are many different modes in the game, but the main game is the 1985 classic Super Mario Bros. 32 levels of platform-hopping gameplay where you must go through the world, jumping on enemies and collecting coins, making your way to the next castle before time runs out. Collect 100 coins and you've earned a secret life. Make sure you jump on...aww, skip it. You've played this game before. What you haven't played are the new modes injected in the Game Boy Color version. The Vs. Mode requires two Game Boy Colors and a link-cable, but this game is a whole lot of fun. It's a race to the flag pole between Mario and Luigi, and you'll try to screw each other up by hitting triggers that will put blocks up in the way. Very cool use of the original Super Mario Bros. engine, and worth the purchase of another cartridge just for this feature alone. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe also has a Challenge Mode, where you'll have to find five red coins and a Yoshi egg, as well as beat the level's preset score to finish the level completely. This is pretty darn difficult, hope you have a lot of patience. When I say pixel-perfect, I mean it. Even though the Game Boy Color screen has less resolution than a standard television, the developers have translated the same pixel count for every object in the game, from Mario to the koopas, turtles, even the question-mark blocks. Granted, this reduces the screen visibility somewhat, but the developers have added user-controlled screen-scrolling to the mix. If you want to see above or below where you're standing, it's all a matter of pushing up or down on the pad. All 32 levels, from 1-1 to 8-4 are patterned after the levels in the NES classic. Nothing's changed. Well, that's not exactly true, you can now save your game in progress, something you could not do in the original. It also remembers which levels you've completed, and unlocks secrets based on how many you've finished. So it's not always a good thing to find the warp zones so early in the game. Secrets? That's right. As you complete certain tasks in the game, you open up little hidden trinkets. Things like a Photo Album where you can print out earned pictures on your Game Boy Printer, or a Toy Box where you can make messages and print them out. Oh, and just because they could, the developers stuck in a fortune teller (just think "Mario Magic 8 Ball") and a calendar option where you can enter important dates and save them to a cartridge. Do they need to be in there? Of course not. But they're cool additions nontheless. Super Mario Bros. remains one of my top 10 favorite games of all-time, even though it's almost a decade and a half old. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is such a perfect translation, it makes me wonder if it's easy to port NES games to the Game Boy Advance. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is the Game Boy Color-specific game to own, hands down, and will be the title that, hopefully, will key a revolution of porting NES games to the handheld system. Buy this game. Now.
1) The Nintendo 64 version does NOT have the final bosses (Shao Khan, Motrao, Kintaro, and Goro) as playable characters, it also does not have certain other characters (MK1 Kano, MK1 Raiden, MK2 Jax, MK2 Kung Lao, or Unmasked MK3 Sub-Zero) playable.
Anyways, I got this game in Christmas 1994 and boy was I excited. I am a hardcore X-Men fan and since many other console Marvel Comics games had huge flaws in the past (such as Silver Surfer for NES and Arcade's Revenge for SNES and Genesis, just to name a few), Capcom did a wonderful job with this one here. Its a side scroller, beat'em up game with each of the five X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast, Psylocke, and Gambit) with unique combos, powers, and abilities that allows you to choose which X-Men is beneficial for a certain level. It starts off when you have to go through Genosia for the first several stages by fighting different clones of Genosian goons, alien Broods, Brood Queen, Tusk, and finally facing Apocalypse, giving gamers the impression that he's the last boss until Magneto taps into Cerebo computer (in story mode). Very innovative that the first and last stages were unique for each X-Men! Only flaws about this game is that gameplay is a bit slow, some X-Men's special attacks and powers (e.g. Cyclop's Optic Blasts and Psylocke's flying knee kick) are slow responsive, and that the game was too short and easy. A 6 year old can beat this game without relying on a password (password will not give you the special ending of which your playable X-Men reunites with other X-Men).
-Not hard, but not too easy, it's juuuust about right
The graphics are very good.
The gameplay is a little awakward to get used to. You are limited on what you can build depending on your mission and even then it is time consuming to build up a sizeable force. This would have been taken care of if you were able to manipulate your ships more instead of moving near another ship and firing. I really wish they would have allowed you to allow your ships to make evasive manuevers rather than just sit next to enemy and exchange fire until one is dead. The ability to have more control over a few ships would not make it necessary to amass huge armies of ships to attack the enemy terriortory. Being able to target specific systems on ships with firepower would be nice too. Are you listening Activision? I hope so. At least enemy ships do the the brains to retreat when they become heavily damaged. But even so the AI is not too smart.
4760 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Symphony of the Night" is considered the pinnacle of the Castlevania series, and with good reason. At a time when side-scrollers were falling to full 3-D games, Konami proved that there was still room for a good 2-D game in the gaming industry.
It takes me about 7 minutes just trying to go to the level I choose (except the first level). The game is loaded with long hallways, ledges you need to slowly climb, and slow frame-rate issues at times. If Rare had upped the speed to about 2.33 times faster, I probably wouldn't have constantly been yelled at to leave my younger brother's room so he could sleep. Oh yeah, and I got a serious sore thumb from holding the joystick in the same direction. This game ruins hands, and sleepy little brothers. THE VERDICT: * 1/5
SAVE IT
Metal Gear Solid VR Missions: is MGS 1 VR missions greatly expanded upon its not bad if you want more MGS 1 gameplay but do note the best VR missions are already on MGS itself still nice to play if your a huge fan of MGS 1.
The sound. Alright, sometimes the music you hear is nothing more than scrambling awkward bleeps and whatnot, but you know what? Those bleeps *work*. Metroid is a space shooter adventure game. Those sounds are *entirely* appropriate in this particular case! You think about those kind of sounds when you visualize aliens, spaceships and distant planets.

9117 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While not an actual video game, the Galoob Game Genie for the classic Nintendo Game Boy certainly is a blast. Whether you want to modify your level of health, ammo, lives or continues, or give you that super-secret power-up you normally have to jump through hoops to get, you can most likely find codes on a myriad of different websites for whatever you desire. And for those codes you use a lot, there's a flip-open compartment on the back of the device; you can print up the codes, fold the paper and store then in the compartment. This is a must-have for any gamer; it will even work with the later Game Boy models (Pocket, Micro, Color, Advance and Advance SP), so you can play your old favorites without wearing out your old Game Boy. Highly recommended.
CONS:
The gameplay, what's not to like here? Taking everything cool about RPGs and pairing it flawlessly with everything good about action/platforming games. The controls are solid, you can belt spells out Street Fighter style at a moments notice or backdash for dodging without thinking about it. My only gripe is that the game can be super easy once you know what you're doing, but I really don't care because the game is such a joy to play.
The good:

5231 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 MGS is the best action game ever made. Cool weapons, a compelling story, great graphics for it's time, and some top notch voice acting make this a classic that everyone should own. If you don't own Metal Gear Solid you can't call yourself a gamer.
This was the last "true" 2D Sonic game. He has, controversially, lost his way (and his fans) since Sonic & Knuckles. The Sonic Advance games are good, and Sonic Adventure DX was also loads of fun. But something...I dunno what, has just been lacking. Where Sonic has failed again and again Mario has succeeded many times over. Strange.
Straight up, this is the best game within its class, outmatching even Command & Conquer who really created the genre in the first place. Starcraft's sense of humor, epic story and scale, coupled with Blizzard's uncompromising production values make for a truly memorable game, one that delivers hours of play in a well thought out universe. This game is pure fun!
2036 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great fun
The Special Stage is different from that in Sonic 1. Instead of collecting 50 rings and jumping into a giant ring at the end of an act, you collect 50 rings and jump into a bunch of rotating stars that pop up when you hit a lamp post. You also race through a half-pipe and need to collect a certain number of rings before each checkpoint. When you clear all the checkpoints with the required amounts of rings, you get a Chaos Emerald. These Special Stages are significantly more difficult than the ones in Sonic 1 because aside from needed to collect the required rings, you have to dodge a bunch of bombs, and these can be hard to dodge. It also doesn't help that usually, Tails will get hit by bombs, making you loose some of your rings.

Level Design: The level designs are pretty decent however there is just not enough to say due to the fact that there are SO Many glitches practically a glitch per level, the only ones without glitches are the Train Levels and those are my favorite levels so they are 10/10.
The graphics too are little improvement over Blood Money, and are definitely a let down compared to the current generation of games. There is less of a non-linear feel about this version also. Now you're not quite tied to a string as you walk through levels, but its sub par compared with the freedom of its predecessor IMHO.
A few Mortal Combat games....
The controls are rock solid so you won't have any trouble with that.
You can court girls, go to festivals, and do a variety of things.
the enemies in battle, but this is negated pretty well with the Auto Battle
3rd Best Improvement: More moves. Crash is looking good with all his new stunts.
8429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the better RPG titles for SNES and let's face it there were actually ALOT of great RPGS for the SNES. I was a little skeptical about Mario leaving his familiar stomping ground to the land of the seven stars but Nintendo did a excellent job with this game. The story is interesting and fun, the characters are memorable ( and some are really funny) the graphics are nice and the control is good. This is one of my top 10 RPGS for the SNES, play it if you get a chance. Oh the and the music gets stuck in your head but in a good way!
That could save a lot of time, space, and money!
It's hard to believe that a game based off the best of the Pierce Brosnan "Bond" movies would become an undeniable classic. But that's exactly what "Golden Eye" is. Many first-person shooters try to overwhelm gamers with unbelievable graphics while offering no depth in gameplay, while others try to create complex game engines with passable graphics and end up only frustrating players. Thankfully, "Golden Eye" is the diamond in the rough. It takes a remarkably simple control scheme and graphics that were good for its time and combines them in an unbeatable combination. Moving Bond, James Bond is as easy as breathing, and the shooting system is just as simple. Even with the horrible N64 controller, a player can learn how to play "Golden Eye" on the first or second try. And its gameplay is so addictive because of the stunning level designs and adequate AI. Of course, because of the N64's difficult-to-program cartridge format, some things had to be sacrificed, like detailed textures and realistic AI responses to being shot. But the overall experience is enough to overlook such trivial matters.
4763 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is an interesting title. I never got into it that far but it is pretty cool. Very difficult. Beware not for amateur gamers. I can get about 5 hours in and half my men die. I don't like when that happens, but you got live I guess eh? Good luck if you choose this title.
I loved the relationships, I loved the characters (the moody Karen who worked on the vineyard) Ann (or Amy that worked on the rival farm), the quiet girl (the one I chose to marry) who worked at the local library and was also the Mayor's daughter. And by the way, the Mayor is absolutely the most lovable character ever!
The sounds and music were memorable. You can never go wrong with the sweet beats of Kongo Jungle. Now that it's composed in 8-Bit, it would appeal to NES fans as well.
4314 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 We all know about real-time strategy (RTS) games. We all remember that Comand and Conquer and Warcraft were the first, providing the giant shoulders that countless game developers would stand on in an attempt to cash in on the latest gaming fad. A few standout RTS were developed in the wake of Warcraft, but not many.
I love this game. I can't thing of words to describe how good it is. If you have an N64 your collection is not complete until this game is put in it.
GAMBIT
There are two parts of each level but one is behind each other. You can jump down from 2D platforms and come out of it like you would in a 3D game. This was both trippy and unique at the time. Make sure you play this game is you haven't and you'll love it.
Theres no dramatic increase in the screen graphics per se', but, due to having more memory to work with there is a more consistent 'Frame Per Second' flow, meaning that the games don't bog down when the screen graphics &/or action increase.
age: 10+
4808 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I just got the game a few days ago included in a value pack. I am currently playing the campaigns and so far I am enjoying the game. Even my husband is playing it.
I just love how the blood flies everywhere when a guy is punched or killed or uppercutted. I recommend this to any Mortal Kombat fan.
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.
The sound is very very good.
On top of all that, you often must construct "wonders" of various sorts.. Preparing the materials, sacrifices, and labor to build pyramids, monuments, temples, etc according to the "success criteria" provided by the scenerio you are doing.. There are a LOT of them to allow for extended play. You can also adjust play difficulty over 5 levels and you can add the Cleopatra expansion to give even more options. (I recommend the GOLD editoin as it cost-effectively gives you both .. PHARAOH GOLD - (PHARAOH+CLEOPATRA, 2CDS))
The disasters that strike are awesome, and the graphics are good, 2-d or not. I recommend this game to anyone. It may get a little tedious in expert levels, but it's a blast to play.
It's still fun, it's just not one of those game you have to invest serious time in.
If you're into classic gaming and love the Playstation (and especially if you love air combat games) this is a definite buy. The sheer imagination that was put into this game is wonderful. You have night missions, sea missions, desert missions, high-altitude missions, ravine missions, and oh-so-wonderful city-liberation mission.
7662 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A great deal & hours of fun
8232 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is for my special needs son. He has bought all the machines up to playstation 3 and xbox 360, but he likes the old games better then the new ones. He loves the race games, pokemon, and Mario.
I put this for a reason..this game can get soo frustrating with the camera angle like for example if I need to get through a boss battle and can't see the boss and I'm trying to move the camera angle it will like get stuck and I can't move it. But still it's worth getting...and yes I'm still going to give it 5/5..
With Crus'n World, released in late 1998, it contains a start of 12 cars battaling through 14 outrageous courses, from England, all the way to Hawaii. That is not all, there is even more at stake when it comes to these rolls. There is also championship mode, where you can try to earn points for faster speed in the automobiles, a very special Speed Demon, and custom packaging with color designs. But it doesn't stop there. There is as usual Crus'n mode, where you can access some of the greatest courses ever, including a special course that sets you on the Moon. There is also the unbelieveable, practice mode, where you can try maxing out the time of the certain time, and gain access to hidden automobiles, 12 of them.
World 2: Forests and mountainous areas
4331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game. I play it a lot still in 2013. Also getting the expansion makes it more enjoyable.
Combat commands in the straight spectrum are highly developed, though 8-way-run attacks are limited to two or three basic attacks. Still, the game is very fun, and fun to play over and over for a long span of time. The voice-over/narrator guy is hillarious also.
I'll give the game one extra point for featuring all the fighters in one nifty little package. Besides that. BAD game.
Shotgun
2166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thew it in the system, and smoothed out the graphics of some of the older games. Did exactly what it's supposed to.
7009 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game so much! very fun
2444 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game when I was a little kid so I already knew it was awesome. I love it
7237 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 At the recommendation of a friend, I bought Monopoly for Gameboy Color and it is just as fun and frustrating as the board game. It has several pre-set scenarios, and lets you play an unlimited time or a timed game. You can select 8 computer opponents with different styles of play. The animated Chance and Community Chest cards are wonderful and the music and graphics are great. I love the animated tokens, the dog runs, the horse gallops, I won't say what the car does; You'll enjoy the surprise when you see for yourself. It's frustrating because it seems like the game plays in favor of the computer opponent, rarely landing on your property. The game only has 8 of the 11 current tokens in the current game, but these complaints are minor; this is a great game! Get it; it's more fun to play with friends! (Now if they could only come out with the Monopoly Deluxe for Gameboy Color ...
7207 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Any differences?, you betcha. The controls are so different from Tekken, but yet the feel of the fighters with both series are very consistent and rich in Character, having their own unique abilities and traits. "KING" from the Tekken series would make a nice special appearance onto the Bloody Roar game as a secret character to unlock. Bloody Roar is awesome with an animalistic wit! Compared to the Tekken reaction time when using your buttons to spin off combos, I'd say there is a 4 second delay with Bloody Roar making the game very challenging, since its more on accuracy and timeing, whereas in Tekken you have agility, speed, and timing with the combos towards your opponent. If your a grea fan of Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear, and Samuria Shodown, then yes you will also love this game. The graphics are perfect and smooth, and each time you play it gets interesting, plus with other things to do in the game like in Tekken. A great keeper, and be sure to collect all the Bloody Roar games on the PS-1. PS-2, and PS-3, there is no doubt that one day they will come out with game called DEAD OR ALIVE VS BLOODY ROAR!, that would be sweet. Or TEKKEN w/ Animal "RAVE" VS. DEAD OR ALIVE, yeah baby that would be Da Bomb!
*SPOILER END*
With mulitple game modes this also adds to Tekkens variety and level of fun. Tekken Force mode puts the characters into a side scrolling action game. Although, my fave is Tekken Ball which is a wierd mix of fighting and volleyball. I know what you're thinking, but trust me, it's fun.
2276 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I HATE THIS GAME IT SUCKED HARD TO CONTROL! THE THIRD GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE AND STUPID THE SECCOND GAME IS HARD TO CONTROL AND OVERALL ITS JUST AWFULL!
759 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game. This was the first Zelda game I ever played and what an adventure it was. If you like your game worlds big with plenty to explore you'll love this game. You'll be putting a lot of hours in during your first play through and probably still won't find all that's hidden throughout its worlds. This is a Nintendo masterpiece and easily one of the best games I've ever played.
WEAPONS, SECONDARY WEAPONS, SUMMONS, RELICS, UPGRADES, TRANSFORMATIONS AND ALL TYPE OF SPLENDID STUFF: While exploring HUGE castle (emphasis on the word huge) you will find great number of different weapons (swords, mace, blades), secondary weapons (holy water, throwing axe and some weird things) and relics that will either allow you to summon various allies by your side or transform you into beasts with different abilities. Guess being a human sympathetic son of dracula comes with its own advantages. Search for these items will really push you explore the castle. While some are not so hard to find, the good ones are well hidden and will require a through exploration (or use of a guide).
641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In this world, nothing is as it seems. No one is who they say they are, and surprises lurk around every corner. This is a wonderful game, with a rich story, great side quests, and great animation. The evil Shin-Ra corporation has been mining Mako, an energy source that is the lifeforce of the Earth itself. Avalanche is an underground resistance group headed by Barret, a man who's arm was lost in an explosion at a Mako refinery. Cloud is a mercenary who used to work for SOLDIER, Shin-Ra's private army. Sephiroth is a great warrior for SOLDIER, who has been lost for many years. Now, Cloud is working with Avalanche, and Sephiroth has resurfaced, but he is now an insane, powerhungry man with a desire to use Black Materia to summon a meteor to destroy the world. Materia are energy sources used in weapons to add skills to the user. This game has a great story and a great battle engine, where you can customize 9 different characters with different materia. This is a long game, but it is legendary.
3321 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The "Resident Evil" series has always been bloody. I've played through each game so many times it just isn't funny anymore. And this is the bloodiest one so far. And maybe the scariest too. Taking place not too long after the first "Resident Evil", the story this time takes place in Raccoon City itself. An outbreak virus has spreaded to the town (and, as you'll quickly learn, it's people as well) and everything has gone wrong. Recruited by the now infamous R.P.D., Leon S. Kennedy arrives to start his new job. But the rookie cop isn't alone, as tomboy Claire Redfield rolls into town seeking her lost brother Chris (from the first game). The two of you have to find a way out of the most dangerous town in the world. Just like all the "Resident Evil" games, you have your sidekicks too. Leon was always my favorite male main character throughout the series, and his sidekick is my favorite of the sub-characters; her name is Ada Wong (whom you may remember from the first game as a code). Claire is my least favorite of the female main characters (Jill Valentine was my favorite), and her sidekick, Sherry Birkin is the most useless little girl in gaming history. "Resident Evil" is a lot like Capcom's other masterpiece series "Street Fighter", the second installment outshines the first one in every way imaginable. You're arsenal now contains a bow gun (equivalent to the pistol basically), a spark gun (equivalent to the bow gun), a machine gun (fun to use, but eats ammo a little too quickly), and a gatling gun (more powerful than the machine gun, and more funner too). As well as custom parts to your pistol (three bullets at once), shotgun (packs a wallop, you couldn't miss a roach with this thing), and magnum (it's almost like an elephant gun, serious damage, only the gatling gun and rocket launcher are more powerful). Claire has the bow gun, spark gun, and grenade launcher exclusively; while Leon gets the flamethrower, shotgun, and magnum to himself. Obviously, Leon has the better weapons. There are a variety of different looking zombies too, including the first female one (not that I cared, I blew her head off just the same). The other new enemies didn't seem all that scary or even challenging. Mostly annoying, especially that licker. Of course, the bosses are new and more impressive than the first "Resident Evil". Other notable improvements are the graphics, the way the characters react to being hurt (for example, Leon uses his shotgun as a crutch when enough life is lost), the amount of zombies on screen, and the scare factor. You can get four different endings in this game which ensures lots of replay value. And getting to all four endings has a different path. If you beat the game with Leon, you can save the game and come back and play it with Claire which will be a different path than the regular one Claire has, and the same goes for Claire if you start it with her, Leon's path will be different. The most notable difference in the second route is the addition of a new Tyrant that stalks you throughout your journey. He's tough, he's scary, and he pops up at times you least suspect (you aren't given a large area to fight him, usually it's a hallway or average sized room). That's why I believe this was the scariest "Resident Evil", as Tyrant-103 never really 'dies' except for, well, I'm not gonna spoil that. My only problem with the game was the difficulty factor. It was too easy. And the puzzles were probably done by a four year old (no, really, they're that bad). 'Puzzles' such as finding a plug that's ten feet away aren't very challenging. Maybe Capcom decided to take the game in even more of a B-movie direction than it already had (their lines were always funny, weren't they?). Nevertheless, this stands as one of the best action/adventure on the PlayStation, but it's better on the N64. Why? The graphics were better, the game runs smoother on this platform, and (best of all) no loading. There's more secrets in this one than any other "Resident Evil". Much better costumes (two for Leon, one for Claire), the super zombie Brad Vickers (the pilot from the first game), the Colt S.A.A. (basically the same as the normal pistol, but Claire holds it gunslinger style and reloads VERY fast; you get this with her one costume while Leon fires his normal pistol with one hand only) and gatling gun, and let's not forget our poor Umbrella trooper Hunk. Hunk is another character in the game whom you play as for a side game. You play your own difficult little quest in which you're trying to escape with the G-virus. Was that quest too easy for you too? Really? Then try it with Tofu. The funniest thing I've ever seen in a video game. But also the hardest quest I've ever tried. I'm a hardcore gamer, but this quest was too difficult even for the likes of me. All in all, this is probably the best "Resident Evil" so far.
Aladdin is challenging, but not controller-throwing frustrating. The one unfair game element is the bats, which harass you in cave and dungeon levels. They follow you, can be difficult to hit, and are VERY annoying. There are also a few object throwing enemies that cannot be destroyed and exploding enemies that are almost impossible to dodge at close range.
- Hiccups in frame rate occur when several explosions appear on the screen.
The car control is realistic, even more so with a steering wheel. In addition, you can purchase simulation tires for your car which makes it even more close to reality (and therefore much harder to drive). Whevener I race against my friends in the wonderfully designed head to head mode, I always destroy them since they are so used to the unreastic arcade racers, and can't even keep the car going on the straightaways.
669 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Not a whole lot to say except that as far as adventure games go, this is the standard that all others should try to exceed.
Anyway, as for games, my favorite genres are First Person Shooters and Role Playing Games. Once and I while I'll find a good game outside of those genres, but those typically stay my favorite, though there are naturally some flops as well. I am pleased to say that Planescape: Torment is not the latter. In fact this, even after these near ten years since it's release, remains as one of the top RPG's I've ever played, but that could just be my Planescape bias speaking.
Here you will face some of Dr. Eggman's earliest inventions, including Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts. To defeat them, you must free more beans. To set the beans free, group 4 or more of the same color together. Try setting more groups of beans free to increase your score. Also, if you are playing with an opponent, your opponent will get more robo-beans. They cannot be grouped, but can escape with a neighboring group. You can be very creative on how you set up the beans. In addition, the enemies get mad when you win, making it more challenging for each new level. It is so much fun to play, and we own both versions: the 2D version on Sonic Adventure DX, and the 3D version on Radica's Sega plug n' play game.
Now, as far as games go I think Super Metroid is one of the greatest games every made! It would be on my top ten list of the greatest games ever and I'm happy to have gotten the oppertunity to play this.
Reviewers may judge ff5 for being bad or something, but it is because it is harder than other final fantasys. I think this is a great thing as you can't just use attack every round. The job and ability system is awesome. You can learn abilitys on jobs and use them for other jobs. You could have a sorcerer have the power to store one of his attacks. You could have a knight cast demi. You can have a barbarian who guards other members. It is really cool and fun as you stay with basically 4 characters. These 4 characters can change jobs and look different for each one. The fun thing is getting to choose who does what. The story is great, as it should be. The characters interact and have personalitys.
*Marvel Vs Capcom 1 & 2- These have a completely different art style from MVC3. MVC1 is 2-on-2 with a 3rd character as assist only, while MVC2 is 3-on-3 and triple the primary characters' selection and 3D backgrounds. MVC2 was re-released on XBLA and PSN while a inferior version of MVC1 was released on the PSX.
I was disappointed to find this game had no option for close captioning or subtitles on the PlayStation, but these options were available for the PC version.
5575 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 game was in great shape
4726 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 even after playing dozens of newer titles on newer systems this is still one of the great games out there - give yourself a gift and get a hold of it
I'll sum it up.
FINAL: I'd give it 4.5 stars out of 5. One thing that this game has, though, is REPLAY VALUE. You can beat it in 30 hours, but you can probably play it another 30 times, no problem.
Twisted Metal 4: This game still made by 989 studios and after twisted metal 3 alot of the people who would of liked this game were no longer interested in twisted metal this one goes back gameplay designed to be fast and fun. I would say compared to 1 and 2 the default characters you can chose from are less interesting and useful however you can create your own cars. I think it was this that makes or breaks the game if you found a car you enjoyed playing you would probably like twisted metal 4 if not then your likely to turn away from it and say its a bad game. This game attempted to incorporate features that would make hands down the best twisted metal and to some it was. This is the last twisted metal game for the playstation 1.
Sad, sad, sad, example of a game that could have been great but FTW.
For those of you who haven't played Diablo, it is basically an RPG version of Solitaire - very simple, very repeditive, and very addictive. The perfect game for blowing 30 minutes at lunch, but beware - you might take the rest of the day off!
It's your basic beat em up, blast them with a bit of magic and honestly, it's a pretty basic game. I just don't think it ever got boring because it was challenging, great to play with a friend and always a good nostalgia game if you were getting tired of other games.
147 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a nice little arcade game with good graphics and some good chatter. It's fun to play with after spending time with DCS Blackshark. It's a good shootem up. enjoyable!
5011 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It is true, this game will freak you out --- not initially but gradually, with the constant pang of tension and the unknown.
5908 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Each genre has it's problems. Flight simulators have a difficult time telling stories. Pure adventure games often have "artificial" interfaces that come across feeling far too fake. Strategy games take too long to play. And first person shooters have an inevitable "sameness" to them.

Online characters are created for Battle.net only and stored separately from your singleplayer characters, to prevent any funny business.
3825 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 NFL 2k is a one of the most realistic game for the DreamCast. The game is pretty much a mix of hard-core football with fun arcade. First off I would recommend getting a Mega Block Memory Card(they have around 800 blocks) `cause the game uses up 191 blocks of memory. But you can call the your plays with out no one knowing on the VMU. This is truly one of the funniest games I have ever played. I would said the greatest strength of the game is the graphics. They're not fuzzed out or miss colored in any way. They are very solid and rich. Game also has 1,500 motion captured moves. The sound is amazing, it's truly is one of the best sounded games I have ever played. The has 31 detailed courses, play editor, fantasy draft, ect. NFL 2k does have some 2D art, but isn't to the point were it bugs to death. I would highly recommend the game to anyone who is a football fan.
One of the original concepts behind the game was that the main character was supposed to be "non-violent", but that isn't entirely the case as there is violence of a sort. The main character just isn't directly violent. But this is one of the highlights of the game, not a detraction (as I, and most gamers, would normally consider it to be). You can't just plow your way through levels: you have to think, watch, time your actions, and adapt to the challenges. But, when you do get those few opportunities to just gun your way through a level, it only makes it that much more fun.
9392 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ordered it because i remember how much fun it use to be and it is still a realy good game thats a classic
5554 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 For starters this is an ok game....nothing more. The controls and gameplay suck hard compared to Quake and DOOM, the storyline sucks hard compared to Quake or DOOM and the multiplayer sucks hard compared to Quake or DOOM. So go play Quake or DOOM :)
2366 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game, very fun to play if you're feeling old school. i would recommend this game to anybody in the world

Donkey Kong Land 2 (Nintendo Game Boy)
Story-You don't really know the story. I started the game, and I found myself facing a picture thinking,"That's it?! No intro?!" Just start to explore, and the story unfolds itself.
Satisfied with purchase.
I was impressed enough with this game to buy the sequel Riven on DVD. I'm more likely than not going to pick up Myst III: Exile as well.
6352 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nintendo64 may now be considered an outdated gaming system, but in my mind it will always be the best. Nintendo64 was the first system to introduce the joystick to the controller and has one of (if not the) best controllers ever made. This is the system that started the legacy of the James Bond games with Goldeneye, continued and enhanced some of it's Super Nintendo games such as Starfox and Mario Kart. This also brought such great strategy games as Starcraft and Command and Conquer to game console. It also made the legendary Legend of Zelda games superior even for modern times. It has made some of the best racing and sports games that never seise to entertain. -In short- Nintendo64 is worth buying and I would even consider it over PS2 or XBoX
You could not put this game down. Me, personally, after 8 months after this game's release, I was still playing it because it was still that good (that and I was determined to play a perfect game and clear all the boards including the bonus levels).
Unlike other reviewers, I found the one area Myst doesn't hold up well is in building an immersive environment. Myst as a world doesn't have a logic. There's a spaceship, a boat, a clock tower, etc., just sitting on the island. It seems more like a video game hub than an actual world. I think Myst makes up for its lack of internal logic by leaving so much mysterious and presenting you with such intricate puzzles that you want to explore the world.
4449 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just picked this limited edition box-set ..., and definantely am thankful I did. If you can find it somewhere, grab it.

2506 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Duke Nukem is a pretty cool series. I use to own some of the Nukem Games...I happen to buy this game along time ago at a game store called GameMax..They had it for 4 bucks...It was pretty sweet. The graphics were terrible but Hey it was on the Play station. The game play was kinda slow but still good. I don't know if this is and edited copy of the game...I can tell you is that in this version I got for PS1 you do see women take there braws off when you pay em' cash..But they have stars...Literaly covering there nips..And it also has a type of color...The one that matches there bra..
3814 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Mech Warriors 3 is a game that no doubt has revolutionized the graphics industry. There is no other way to put it, the graphics are really great, surprising for an older game! The game is so fun, and I like the way you can customize the way your bot looks, moves, and fires. My friend did something that was so cool, I do it too. He took one of the heavyweights, and put on almost 100 LRM's and two gause rifles(Probably the best weapon),one on each hand. He then battled several of those tiny robots-whos name escapes me-and took em out, indian style. It was cruel, but totally awesome. I use that tactic almost every time on battle mode.
Cons:

4611 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a review for the Playstation version of Quake II.
8432 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was by far the best super Mario land game. Warioland had brand new gameplay, all new levels, and great fun to play threw. Finding the treasures was a blast, the bosses were great and Wario is awesome. I have nothing bad to say about this game. Nintendo makes the most fun games and Wario Shake it on the Wii is a wonderful addition to this series. Awesome job Nintendo.
put it on hard to push your skills to the limit
5742 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have mixed feelings about this game, because although it is my fourth-favorite FF game, its design was singlehandedly conducive to the end of the golden age of Final Fantasy, because this game served as a precedent for ff designers to consider "realism" in an FF game to be a virtue in its own right, and substitutable for some of the emphasis which they had previously placed on originality, continuity, and integration of the various aspects of a game. Starting with FF8, every game in the FF series is very epic in scope, but fails to fill the framework of its design with sufficient plot and character-related details. In Final Fantasy VII, there are so many tiny, optional events which round out the mythos of the game's world in ways that may be unappreciated at first, but collectively contribute a sense of groundedness to the fantastical setting. Take the discovery of Gast and Ifalna's videos in Icicle, for example. Final Fantasy VIII still has these types of details, such as the ability to read about GARDEN on Squall's workstation terminal. It just doesn't have nearly enough such details to flesh out the world, and after FF8, this element of the series only gets worse. Upon reaching Esthar, the largest city in FF8, the player almost as quickly leaves it, and less seems to be happening there than in the small island-town of Balamb.
They are actually pretty neat and they give you lots of incentive to do them.
193 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Saved one game and now it will no longer work. stick to brand name memory cards
MINIGAMES: Great minigames! There's SHYGUY SAYS, a game where you'r supposed to press whatever button he tells you. And a game which you can make a treasure chest come to you.
NOTE TO WII VIRTUAL CONSOLE USERS: The game supports the Wii Remote, and it works just fine. No need to invest in a Classic Controller to play it.
930 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ever since I purshased GOLDENEYE 007 on the old N64, I became highly addicted to it, like many other gamers around the world. I also have to thank this game as well, because it made me a hardcore James Bond fan.
The music is overwrought and almost silly. The main themes seem bombastic and pretentious, as if the game is saying, "Come look at me, I'm important!" The compositions are impressive musically, but they feel emotionally hollow. There is one song, a piano & violin duet, which I loved. It was completely gorgeous. I also liked how the combat music changed as the game continued. RPGs often frustrate me by giving me the same combat music through the entire 40 hour game.
I could go on and on about the many problems you will see in this game. Twice in the game you will have to fight a guy who looks exactly like you, which if you ask me, lacks creativity. Konami wasted a good opportunity right there to come up with new and exciting bosses to fight, but no, they had to go with the old predictable mirror match.
9699 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got this game a while ago for my vista PC, but now I'm encountering errors running it.
1431 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was the premiere launch game for the Nintendo 64 when it premiered and despite the fact that it is only a single played game, pulls off fun gameplay and great graphics. Despite the fact of newer systems like Xbox, PS2, and even Nintendo's own Gamecube, I would still be happy to have this game sitting on my shelf next to games like Red Faction and Halo. This game prved itself showing off the power that the Nintendo 64 had and showed it off to the loyal people who bought one instead of a PS-X and even those who (like me) bought both a Nintendo 64 and a PS-X. But, not to mince words I'll explain the game. You are Mario one of the most well known characters in video game history. You play through this adventure all in 3D. This was one of the true selling factors of this game as it was Mario's first true step into the Third Dimension (Hushed Gasp). But, the game sold great and over time has proved in it's own right that it is a classic.
overal sonic adventure has kept and added features of the classic sonic series.
5350 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have loved playing Tetris ever since the classic NES and have had various handheld versions since they came out (I have even downloaded a version to my cel phone). I have pretty much given up on trying to keep up with new consoles, I've had my PlayStation for about 11 years and still break this game out once a week. My husband and I play head-to-head in the classic mode which is really what I bought it for. Once in a while I will give the Puzzle mode a go, but mostly stick with the classic. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
One of the greatest things about this classic video game that I have enjoyed was the MUSIC! WOW! Looking back on it now, I have to say that the music was just amazing for video game music. I could very well say that I remember the music almost by heart. My favorite level music was on the "Scrap Brain Zone" levels 1 through 3 and let me tell you, I haven't loved video game music like I did on this level.
9665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got a copy long ago but it stopped working so a friend of mine bought me a copy off here. I love it, and taking pictures of Pokemon is fun for me, but it is more of a kids game. :)
The game play is old fashioned, graphics are SNES style.
2. The flight members each have a special attack that they can do alone, but there is little point to them having it, seeing as they are almost never alone. So your stuck just doing thundershoot. While powerful, I do believe flying characters lack variety in their abilities.
Amazing Level desighn
The controls aren't horrible, however, they feel a bit delayed or stiff.
If you want that old school feeling, draw your own map, don't follow the one on the screen and make this even cooler. If you have time to burn this is your game, it's amazing.

This was one of the final most finest moment games in SNES history has to offer before SNES died and if you own a SNES in good shape or a nintendo wii then you need this game!
4795 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 A lot of good reviews--two perfect 5 star reviews even. Amazon.com gets to choose which reviews are "featured", so that's not really much of a surprise.
6216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything is okay.
this is terribly time-consuming and irritating. the menu is where i spent most of my time on this game. gladly, squaresoft got rid of the horrid materia system and added on the god-how-could-this-get-any-worse junction system. this system takes about a half of an hour just to understand, and then you spend even more precious hours of your life drawing magic upgrading it so a boss cannot kill you in just one blow. for example, you have to spend about an hour drawing 100 lifes from an enemy just so you can raise your health a couple thousand points.
Streets often have obstructions (or mysteriously drop into oblivion) and you have to search for hidden routes to reach desired destinations.
This video game features four different street-fighting heroes: Mike Hagger the pro-wrestler gone mayor (remind you of a certain Minnesotan governer?); Guy, the fist-throwing karate expert from Japan; Lucia, the "Angel Eyes" detective; and Dean, the electricity-enhanced brawler. This is the kind of game you and a friend should play when you just want to knock bad guys senseless without having to worry about consequences. To ad replay value, you can take different routes in certain parts of the game.
In this game, there's action, adventure, and awesome revelations! Collect cool equipment such as the legendary Master Sword, meet new friends and enemies along the way,and even find a sinister, parallel world...
6017 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is it! Is this what the hype was all about? Totally disappointed with this game. Again, a game that took 3 years to develop isn't a guarantee that it'll be good (Daikatana anyone?). Diablo 2 is just all hot air. Lets start with the bugs. First of, let's start with the technical goof ups. The game had problems with some CD drives. It takes me 3 to 5 tries just to have my Creative DVD recognize the CD. This is a major bug. Second, the CD had problems ejecting from my drive, thanks to the patch they released v. 1.02, it still didn't fix it. Thanks for nothing Blizzard. Third, the game won't run on my GeforceDDR under Direct 3D. So now, Im running the game using DirectDraw from my GeforceDDR. I ran the game using 3dfx glide and the graphics were so washed out and hazy. What do you expect from glide? Now let's go with the gameplay. It is absolutely similar with the first Diablo. Sure they upgraded the graphics and all, but gameplay is still the same old Diablo. The game comes in 3 CDs. The first CD will take you only about 4 hours to finish it because the monsters are just too dumb and too easy to beat. You'll have the case of BOREDOM by the time you finish CD1. As you progress deeper into the game, you start to realize that the challenge becomes more of simply just finishing it because you paid [good money] for it rather than seeing the end of the game. Motivation factor is zero. There were a lot of new items and weapons not found in the old Diablo but new items and new weapons just isn't enough to save this game. Maps are 3 times bigger than the old Diablo. Other than that, this game is just a waste of time because it runs and feels like the old Diablo which is already a tired old engine to spend your gaming hours on. I enjoyed playing Nox more than Diablo II. Newcomers in the Diablo world will feel just dandy with this game. Old Diablo players will go ho-hum with this one. My take on this game, wait for the retailers to put it on the bargain shelves.
8663 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 To start off with this game has some of the most amazing graphics I have ever seen. It takes full advantage of Nvidia and ATI's latest T&L engines with gorgeous results. That being said, you are going to need a serious machine to play this game. If you don't have a Geforce/Geforce2 or Radeon as well as a speedy processor and lots of memory then you are going to miss out on this games outstanding graphics. Fortunatley this game is able to stand on its own without the graphics. The storyline is humorous to the point where I burst out laughing at many of the cutscenes. The gameplay is solid, the designers obviously spent a lot of time with this games engine. I have yet to truly play around with the multiplayer capabilities of this game, but from what I've seen in single player there is real potential for a great LAN game. That being said this game does have a single fault. I have found a few annoying bugs. I am sure these will be fixed in a patch in the near future (they're not that bad anyway) so that shouldn't hold you back from getting this game. If you have the system to support it don't just sit there GET IT!
7548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game arrived on time exactly as described! Great condition! Label is nice and shiny, Has a marker label on top but, i do to that to my games anyways. Game has been well cared for. Packaging was phenomenal; Really tight and protected. very important with old cartridge style games.
2142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quality product, very fast shipping as well.
the game, something must have happened that made some of the music not play when it was
Overall, this game deserves a more than five stars. It is very fun, and it provides endless entertainment.
The backgrounds, characters, and gameplay combine with the great music to create a truly classic unforgettable plat former experience. It's just my opinion, but I think Jungle Book, Cool Spot, Lion King, and Aladdin are the four best platformers of the 16 bit era.
1342 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 To this very day I still cannot understand why everyone loves Tomb Raider so much. Aside from the odd improvement here and there, the games haven't changed vastly (I think Doom to Quake is vastly) at all. I find controlling Lara very clumsey, the 3rd person view not help. Plus, Lara does all the aiming so the satisfaction of blasting something's head off from a distance is non-existent. I found myself fart around half the time. Where's the fun in climbing up a rock face? I'm all for puzzles but I find these games boring and labourious. Oh, and Lara Croft is not fit because she's not real and if she was she'd fall forwards due to her massive mammaries. So stop ogling at your screen, you sad people!
Highest recommendations.
5438 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Good: The best of the 16-bet era on one disc, every character from UMK3 and back, all original -alities, fan favorite music and arenas
Don't get me wrong, "Symphony" is one of the best Castlevania titles to date--but if you're looking for a more user-friendly Castlevania game, I suggest "Aria of Sorrow" for the Game Boy Advance.
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures has you help Pac-Man on his journey. That's right. YOU'RE a part of his ventures. Anyway, the game is composed of various objectives Pac-Man has to accomplish. He roams around all kinds of places such as a farm, a warehouse, a mountain, and much more. The trick here is that the player has to be pretty observant and aware of what's going on around the scenery.
As far as single player is concerned, it has six episodes consisting of a minimum of 10 levels, about twenty total levels for each of the three races: Terran, Protoss, and Zerg. Each possesses unique abilities and disabilities, a uniqueness that is demonstrated in the missions Blizzard designed for the game. Objectives range from destroying power plants to ravaging Warp Portals to killing the collective mind of the Zerg. Certain levels have multiple outcomes, meaning that you might want to go back in order to beat it all. Besides that, unlike other games, Starcraft makes it very simple to replay old missions, and the AI makes it interesting every time.
8077 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first started playing on this game along time ago, I thought the missions were a little boring and that's the first and one of very few draw backs I found. Heck, the graphics are great, the sound is good, level designs impressive and large, but the fun factor I think is just a little boring and tedious and you end up fighting your way through the surprisingly short game to end up with a quite frankly awful and short end sequence. The game is great for Trekies but if you're just after a good FPS, look elsewhere, unless...
Pros:
1582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first day I played this game (about seven years ago), I was shocked in a good way, because this game is phenomenal. Using vehicles for combat and multiplied destruction couldn't be better. Even though its graphics could be sharpened and more detailed, the gameplay, and value of this game are in the spotlight. Each level are unique from each other, and I must say that they include a lot of beautiful textures; they range from an underground arena, to skycrapers. Using the sophisticated weaponry with advanced techniques will keep you glued to your screen; you get to retrieve weapons you see that appear, and use them for your enemies. As for sound, the SFX is a little over average, it isn't as detailed or spectacular. With the music though, that's one concept of this game that makes it outstanding; orchestra, symphony type music with a touch of hard core music makes this game prosperous.
makes the graphics look good. Then Half-Life is ported to the
Like games,
3-Aquatic ruins(77%)A good 3rd level, but the scenery is wierd!
8614 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Kart is a classic racing game, but it has a lot more fun characters. What's not to love?
2839 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ape Escape consists of more than 20 3D levels based on a variety of time zones. To clear a level, Spike (played by you) must capture a set number of monkeys. After filling that quota, you must access the next level. Reaching the monkeys will require you to jump, sneak, swim, climb and fly through a variety of situations. To help you on your way, you are given a net and a lightsaber type stun club. Throughout the course of the game, Spike will collect six additional gadgets. In addition to providing the means of completing future levels, returning to previous levels with new gadgets will allow Spike to capture any monkeys he left behind. In addition to monkeys, each level has tokens to collect. Collecting enough tokens will open minigames. This game gets addicting pretty fast.
The game only features geometrical shapes and solid colors for graphics. Seriously, it really does look like if you tried to make a 3D world out of construction paper. The controls are waaaaaay off as in if you start running, it's near impossible to turn/stop/maneuver your character and jumping on enemies consists of landing *directly* under your shadow or you will get hit and die. Gliding is a smaller jump that makes you "float" a little.... it's completely USELESS unless you need to use it on those floor-fan-enemies to float up. And the sounds.... ugggghhhh... oh my... atrocious.
1333 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this is wat made me love mario. mario 64!
The levels are very long and graphics are colorful. What also makes this game what it is was the excellent music that accompany you through the various levels. I would recommend this game to anybody. One of the top 10 or even 5 I would say for the Genesis.
The only fault is that there could have been more levels and maybe the storyline could have been a bit better (being picky). Still, this does not detract from a PC classic with gripping atmosphere and moments that will give you nightmares!
Anyways, I also bought perfect dark, and plan to buy even more N64 games, and I can't wait to play them!
2754 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game will run on XP. You have to dumb down your computer. Most xp users run on 32 BIT. Simply change your screen to 16 bit and it will install. Make a shortcut to desktop and enjoy an old favorite. This is the reason I keep a xp computer on the side to run these games.
9422 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I find it odd that I would give this game a higher overall rating than fun rating, but I feel it's appropriate.
3056 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is OK but not near as good as FF9. FF9 has better graphics. The characters look like dolls. The cut scenes have good graphics. If you want this game get it for a cheap price or get FF9. If your a big Final Fantasy buy it but if not I don't think you should get it. I think you should buy FF9 instead.
1281 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works well.
On the plus side, the environments are varied, the music is great for the Genesis (composed by the same person who went on to write the music for Symphony of the Night/Nocturne in the Moonlight) and the graphics are colorful. The special effects are considered by many to be in the same league as Contra The Hard Corps and even Gunstar Heroes, and it certainly comes close.
But you see - The main problem that prevents this from getting 5 stars isn't the game's own fault. It's that there are so many other shooters on the Super Nintendo, let alone the other systems, that go beyond the heights of this game. I gave the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders 5 stars due to its brand-new game modes that make the game itself more fresh and fun.
4286 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game takes sim games to another level. It eats on Theme Park and Them Park World. You have TOTAL control of your environment and you can build BIG and I mean BIG rollacosters!
Multiplayer: I have played this game in multiplayer mode more times than anyone else I know. It is fantastic. It is here that the fun factor truly comes to light. I know the game has passed into history to the extent that you won;t find huge numbers playing it online anymore. Maybe there's folks playing it on Kali still (it truly deserves to be). One thing I'll say is this: multiplayer functionality was always fantastic and worked very well. We never had any problems with it.
1519 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The game works great the only bad part it that the game smells like smoke but nothing a can of fabreeze could not handle
The game play? A brutal revelation.
The bosses in this game can be a real pain. There is a boss name Army Dillo (an armadillo; what else), Dogadon (a giant dragonfly), Mad Jack (a crazy jack in the box), Pufftoss (a puffer fish), King Kut Out (a cardboard cutout), and the last boss King K Roll himself. Everyone will have a tough time on Mad Jack and Pufftoss but those bosses don't even compare to the difficulty of beating King K Rool. In Donkey Kong Country you hit him with a few barrels and you win the game. In this game you have to beat King K Rool in boxing with each Kong, which takes quite a while and a lot of trying over and over again.
7174 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i gave this game a five star as the other's because we love the donkey kong game, but have to get a jumper pack before playing it because when ordering it i didn't know that it needed one.
5213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I saw the word greatest hits and I was ashamed. Why do they always ruin every game box with that stupid green bar on the left telling people its a greatest hits. Mabye they will make more money, wrong...
Examples; India dosn't have pyrannas(Brazil does), the Ganges dosn't end in a pond, St. Pauls Cathedral looks nothing like that(that must be the worst rendition of it yet), the British Museum is not next to the Lloyds building, and Area 51 is more spacious than that(I saw it on a TV programme, I swear). I won't judge the Pacific levels though, I don't know enough about them. They realy do need to watch their locations more.
The implementation of the STOREHOUSES are the key to this.. you have to learn this as the key to game enjoyment.. it isn't well explained in the instructions, so I suggest a bit of research before you start serious play. It is the weakest part of the game, but its workable enough to allow a TON OF FUN!
There are plenty of levels and stages in this game, and lots to do in all of them. But by the time I cleared one stage, I really questioned whether or not I wanted to even GO to the next. Finally, after reaching a mere 52 stars, my answer is no.
--The boss fight music is AWESOME! Actually, all the music in this game is awesome. Except sometimes the regular fight music. I've found myself stopping playing the game just to hum along with the music. Not a good strategy for a boss fight, :-P but it seriously is that good.
For those not used to classic Gameboy games, the lack of color in this entry is a bit disappointing. The lack of an in-game map and the fact that many of the tunnels in the game look the same also makes this game far more challenging to navigate than the later Metroid games. Once you get used to those things, however, the game will really pull you in.
2. Colorful shell variation. One thing I am going to make clear right here. I am reviewing the Gameboy Color as a whole. Not just the Teal variation. I do own the Teal variation so that is why this review is being posted here. There are so many different types of Gameboy Colors out there. (From Wikipedia) here are all the variations out there of the Gameboy Color.
5175 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is just the best game ever to hit the ps1, and waaaay ahead of its time as far as realistic storytelling. it just doesnt come any better then this. experience it if u havent.
5033 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Before SIlent Hill was released, all we horror gamers had to scare us were the Resident Evil (Biohazard) series of games, with big, flashy chills and spills, and the Alone In The Dark series, which were just plain bad console conversions of average PC games. It just goes to show what can be done with a genre when a development team sits down and outs their heads together properly.
2151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The expansion pak came as advertised. It also works as expected. Very happy with the item.
13-Wood zone(87%)Cut out the final version of the game, but it's on Sonic 2 beta.

7491 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I bought my playstation one of the first X files was the first game i bought. I was amazed by how I could play and interact with a real episode of the X-files that included some of the conspiracy I loved to follow so much on tv.
8359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Buy this game! You won't regret it.
7065 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game in great condition!
2991 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wanted this game so badly for years, so I finally just went for it. I heard it was one of the best games ever made, and it is true. I actually beat it today and am so happy. It was made in 1997 and still competes with games made today. It has a great story and some of the best characters ever. I got so attached to these characters. I won't get into too much detail because other reviewers already did a good job explaining that, but it truly is a great game. The graphics are fine for an old game, and I find the character design very charming. The game is really fun, too. I just couldn't stop playing, I always was so excited to play more and see what would happen next. I even knew a good amount of what would happen ahead of time because of what I had read and seen, and it was still exciting. There is also a lot to do. After about 40 hours, I still haven't done everything.
9922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played the arcade version of this game back in the 80's. A mercenary is resurrected from the dead by Zeus and ordered to rescue his daughter Athena from the clutches of Neff, an evil and very powerful enemy who commands many monsters to do his bidding. The mercenary must find special power-ups to become stronger. Three power-ups will transform him into some kind of monster with special abilities in order to defeat his adversary. Each level you must fight a boss at the end and defeat him to go to the next one until you face Neff himself in the final battle. This game plays great on the Genesis platform and allows you to set the skill level, number of lives and length of the life bar. If you still have a Sega Genesis add this one to your collection.
I will admit that once you got the match started on the PSone version, the game itself was faster than N64's version but still, anyone could appreciate not having to wait 5 Minutes to play a simple game. The controls can be a little challenging at first but once you get it, you're golden and you don't have to worry about a thing.
4091 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a really fun game to play you can make money and loose money. There are certain objectives that you have to do like earn a certain amount of money and have a certain amount of people and a certain amount of the park value. This is a really good simulation type game. Plus you can control where the people go and you can kill some people in the water and sometimes the rollercoaster will chrash and kill people. That is really fun when you get board.
Fame (defeating enemies)
Great gameplay, immersive and rich storyline, fun multiplayer experience. Highly recommended!
If there are people studying the history of video games fifty years from now, there is little doubt that Final Fantasy 7 would be one of the games they would look at, since it is probably the most influential console RPG ever. If you haven't played this game yet and have any interest in RPGs, at all, you should try to find a copy of this game and play it. If only Square-Enix would re-make this game for the PS3!
3856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very fun
I have so many friends that think a system with fun titles can actually "die." "You still play that? They stopped making them and don't make games for it anymore! It's dead, it's old! It came out in 1999!" Uh, that really wasn't that long ago. I still want an Atari 2600, but I got a Pocket PC and a few more games at the top of my list!
8856 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Turn-based strategy is a kind of archaic genre. Not in the sense that it can't be great--4 of 5 of Computer Gaming World's nominees for best strategy game in 2003 were turn-based--but that it hearkens back to an earlier era, before Real Time Strategy games like "WarCraft" and "Command and Conquer" ruled the earth. There's less immediacy to a turn-based game. They favor long, drawn-out thought and elaborate moves (and, yes, micromanagement) over immediate visceral thrills. Even though RTSes were born of TBSes, they've outstripped them in terms of popularity the way football outstrips chess.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This is a very good, even excellent game that can't classified as a genre - a game where you needn't read faq in fear of unrecoverables, where you have to think how to beat puzzles AND even how to beat enemy groups, where there is time for hacking AND time for strategy, too. Voice acting is perfectly suited to misanthropic and revenge hungry main character.
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.
characters: cloud-an emo whiny brat that annoyed me to know end. i wish there was a shut up spell in this game to make him stop crying. barret-how many black stereotypes can we fit into a single character? lame.

The main problem with Suikoden is that it is too short. With monster games out right now that take 60 + hours to beat such as Grandia and Xenogears, Suikoden only has about 20-25 hours. However, the replay is high with trying to find all 108 playable characters. The game is also very easy, which may annoy experienced RPG gamers.
Omega Weapon anyone?
If you have never played the other Golden Axe game, you should know that players can harm each other but by staying apart, you should be fine working together to fight off barages of enemies.
The PROS: Capcom had held the license to make games based on Disney properties. Aladdin looks and sounds great thanks to its bright graphics, excellent music, sound effects and even includes songs featured in the movie. The controls are spot on so controlling Aladdin is never an issue. Once you finish a stage, you are given a password so it's easy to stop where you are and continue your progress later.
2303 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My grandchildren found their old PS2 game console for their 4 year little brother and he needed some fun games. All the games today seem violent unless you use the classic Disney, Sonic, Spyro games of the past.
3165 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 FF7... if you've ever played this game, the words send shivers of delight down your spine. Squaresoft really outdid themselves with this one. The world's in trouble thanks to a large corporation (Shinra) who is, basically, sucking the planet dry of its natural resources. Bummer. That's where Cloud, Barrett, and Tifa (oh, yeah, there's this girl named Aeris... hint: be nice to her at al times) come in, equipped with HUGE swords, a Gun-Arm (gotta get me one of those), and snazzy magic spells and fighting combos. The game is a marvel to play, and is clearly addictive. The gameplay is perfect, with tight controls which respond perfectly, an intuitive Materia (Magic) sysetm, and some kick ... bosses. ...
5764 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If you fell in love with Final Fantasy VII, like I did, and are so hungry for more that you are considering this game, I beg of you, don't do it. It is nothing like the aforementioned masterpiece. The story was slow to get going, which I was sympathetic to, since it was like that in FF VII too, but after hours it was still lame. For one thing, you have a "military ranking", and it goes down when you explore the towns! I mean come on, the whole point of an RPG is exploring! But that is not the worst part. The magic system has been redone, and it's HORRIBLE. Instead of the product-of-genius Materia system in FF VII, they have the "draw system". You have to collect magic spells, and use them, like petty items! This is, by far, the worst idea ever.
2815 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ape Escape is on one of the sleekest action games on Playstation, which is, in theory, a pretty low-power console. The graphics, despite being rather choppy, are colorful and well-textured. Most of all, the game has a high frame rate with no noticeable slowdown to speak of, which allows things to move quickly and smoothly. The control scheme is intuitive despite being complex at the outset. Fortunately, no action you can take requires pressing more than one button. Right shoulder buttons are jumping, left shoulder buttons center camera and bring you into a first-person lookaround mode, digital d-pad moves the camera, left and right sticks move the character and the selected tool respectively, which the X, triangle, circle, and square buttons select your tool. Also, the controls are quite tight, which will save you much frustration from falling over cliffs and such. The camera is one of the best I've ever seen. It rarely swings around the character, although at times I did experience a few odd, glitchy perspectives, such as from behind walls and from under floors. Fortunately, the camera is spring-loaded to auto-center on the character.
- Techno soundtrack
- Stealth gameplay, with some action mixed in
4.2 out 5.
7230 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you read my review of Rainbow Six on Dreamcast, you may remember me saying how it was a huge downer. You also may remember me saying to "skip R6 and go immediately to Perfect Dark". So now, I'm reviewing Perfect Dark. This is the best reason to have an N64. First off, the graphics are really good. After Conker's Bad Fur Day, this game most likely has the best N64 graphics. The frame rate is smooth and ultimately, very playable for the 1-player and multiplayer modes. The characters in the cinemas don't move their mouths at all, but so what? Their faces are usually looking at another character or somewhere that the player can't see. The sounds are also very good here. Very realistic sound effects for the guns and other objects and weapons are helpful for creating the perfect mood. But the best parts about the sound are the voices and the foot-step noises. When you walk, you hear your feet moving along any terrain you are on, whether it's snow, carpet, chain link floors or ladders and they match the speed you are moving at. The voices also are very well done. Usually, voices in games are so melodramatic or silly and unserious that they make you hate the characters or wish you were back in the day when voices didn't exist in games. But here, the voices suit the characters so well and they are so serious that they make you care about these characters. You'll feel bad when Cassandra De Vries gets her comeuppance, when you fail a mission resulting in Elvis's (the alien of course)or Daniel Carrington's death, and you'll shed a few tears when Dr. Carrol make his incredibly noble decision late in the game. Another good point is the story. It reminds me of Goldeneye meets The X-Files and it's like watching a movie. And like a good flick, it keeps you engrossed and enthralled until the end. All these points I made are good, but how does the game handle? Even better then Goldeneye did. If you've played Goldeneye before, you'll feel right at home with Perfect Dark. I'm not kidding, I had the controls down the moment I started moving around. Even if you didn't play Goldeneye, you'll still get into this game with relative ease. Plus, the new control methods (like the pop-up weapon menu and simulant command menu) are easy to learn. The best part about this game though, is the mutilplayer mode. There are so many options to choose from and you can play the game however you want to. Along with four human players, you can add up to 8 computer controled characters known as simulants, and again, you can edit anything you want to with these guys. Want to mix body and head types to make for a funny looking character, human or simulant? You can do it. Want to make enemies so skilled that they exceed the performance of real humans? You can do it. One thing though: make sure you get an Expansion Pak (sold seperately)with the game, cause you'll need it to play 3 and 4 player and 1 player story mode. If you have an N64, you must buy this game. You'll love it.
Recommended party: Cloud, Cid and Barret; you'll be laughing like crazy!
-Terrible land animation.
One of the best games platformer or otherwise.
Plot: Lex Luthor has trapped Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Prof. Hamilton in a virtual world with Kryptonite fog in it and Supe has to go in and rescue them while putting down the Super-Villains Luthor purposely put there.
Also different is that you now can deliver paper to the other side of the street. The graphics aren't as sharp as the first one(which was originally an arcade game released in 1984) and there are no voice samples.
Buy the game and see for yourself. This isn't exactly a hard challenge of a game, but it isn't exactly that simple either. Just right. Get it today!
They had great ideas for this game: You take Sub Zero from the Mortal Kombat series, use this opportunity to tell people more about his back story and his battle against monks, set it in cool locales and incorporate MK inspired game play and controls in an action adventure, side scroller with light RPG influences. What could possibly go wrong??? How about....EVERYTHING in this game.
This game allows you to do all kinds of things. You can build a variety of rides from the kiddie ones (haunted house, curly slide, carousel, Ferris wheel) to scary, complex roller coasters. You can even name the rides! The roller coasters can come pre-made or, when you get more advanced, you can design your own. There are also a variety of concession stands to build including a burger place, soft drink stand, balloon stand, popcorn, pizza, french fries, you name it! Different scenery can be chosen too, including those with a Greek, Roman, or Egyptian theme to really give your park character. As you play the game, new rides, scenery, and concession stands will be introduced. Each time I play, I discover something new! You also get to hire maintenance men, handymen, security guards, and entertainers (guys dressed up like pandas, elephants, or tigers). You do not have to baby-sit the game as much as Theme Hospital, as your workers always go where they're needed. Sometimes, you need to move handymen to different spots to clean up vomit and litter faster. Remember to hire enough maintenance men to inspect the rides, otherwise CRASH! Patrons can die in this game, so watch out! You can also check what the customers are thinking about your park and the different rides. The only annoying part of the game is when customer after customer gets lost and the game keeps beeping at you. You have to adjust the walk ways to prevent this. Otherwise, this game is loads of fun, easy to learn, and very rewarding when you begin to see the amusement park of your dreams taking shape!
pretty cool but nothing really cool.
However the gameplay is very repetitive and you'll mostly be tapping Y throughout the game. There is little challenge to the game to the point where I have not lost a life in this game in a VERY long time. This game was clearly intended for children, but I can still enjoy it. Also despite forming the Megazord, he's only needed for two fights. the first fight feels random, though it's like a training course, because the final boss will have two rounds.
8863 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my fav metriod game! I don't have the super Nintendo copy yet but I have it for the wii vc and so fun!
Unlike the rest of the games in the series, if you didn?t like the others this game ?Will? change your mind, fans of any genre with love and respect this game for years to come and justifiably so. The voice acting is spot on and the characters facial details when they talk is phenomenal, to the extent that it (at times) surpasses the almighty Shenmue. In conclusion this is one game that defiantly does the Dreamcast justice.
7085 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game. It's like a slightly upgraded original doom so if you love the first one you probably love this game as well.
Gameplay: 10/10
3. The puzzles are well-integrated into the story, and allow you to use some of the equipment and consoles that you've always wanted to try. I did not consider the bulk of the puzzles to be particularly difficult, although they do require some out-of-the-box thinking. There are lots of alternate endings in this game: most of them start with your demise, after which there is a commentary from Q as to the "efficacy" of your efforts.
Since this game is more story based, the difficulty is slight. There is hardly a time where you feel that you are going to die, minus a few bosses. Once you beat the original game, you can go back and play it on a new Hard Mode option. The game is still not that much more difficult but some of the bosses will give you more trouble. Also, to top it off, the game isn't that long. Even the player who likes to talk to every single person and gets lost often can still beat this game in less then 15 hours. That includes the main storyline and all side quests, minus special weapon upgrading. I can now beat the game on Hard Mode in around 5 hours.
393 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Good game overall. Its fun and easy but rewarding. The voice overs are so cheesy that its actually funny and enjoyable to listen too. If you have not played this game yet and you enjoy mega man get this game.
When I learnt that (from the strategy guide) I realised how much more fun it was.
4) Music: The soundtrack maintains the high level established in the first two Gabriel Knight games. It greatly completes all kinds of scenes and makes you shiver in dangerous game parts.
I personally do not play D&D, so I'm not a die-hard. But I did enjoy Diablo, Everquest, Might and Magic 7, and Age of Wonders, so I'm not against "dungeon-crawl"/fantasy type games as you may think I am. I did like the "pause" option in Baldur's Gate, so you can give commands to each of your party's members without getting thrashed in the meantime, but I didn't care for the graphics. But to some, that's minor and forgivable if you like the gameplay--I guess I just didn't. I also prefer faster paced games with a more linear storyline. But if you prefer a non-linear storyline, and sometimes feeling semi-lost in a rather large world to explore, that's all the more reason for you to get this game.
8760 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will never forget the snowy Xmas of 1992 when I made the upgrade from the trusty old Commodore 64 to the Sega Genesis. I got about 1 game per week for the Genesis and tried just about everything. My first ever game tho was Sonic the Hedgehog. The gameplay was simple and that's the way I liked it.
I loved the plot too. It was just so great for me.
lenght : long, looooong quest, the main story it's about over 60 hours, 100-150 with side-quests
While normally I don't care about graphics in a video game, you gotta admit that bright vibrant colors really make the epic heroic adventurous theme of the Zelda series more engrossing. This is just... gross. Only the realistic-looking (flawed) overworld is a sight to behold (which of course now looks significantly better in Twilight Princess). Clearly the effort involved in designing the dungeons isn't much to admire. I don't really mind the occasional choppiness concerning the edges of buildings, trees or other objects that are all part of the Nintendo 64's datedness. Sometimes these unintentional features can be quite charming or, at the very least, forgiving. What I DO mind however is when these features are all over the place to the point of being a distraction, or having a game entirely too long so we're forced to persevere these issues time and time again. In other words I'd be willing to forgive this particular shortcoming if the game made up for the choppy/uninspiring graphics in other areas. Sadly, it doesn't. This isn't even much of an issue compared to the other complaints I have (which I'll mention below- keep reading). These graphics -especially the ones in the dungeons- resemble the ones found in the ruins of Mega Men Legends and the walls of the Quake series. The graphics in Link to the Past are unique and cannot be compared to any other game.
Diablo II is a very big, very involving and very addictive game with a lot of tasks to perform and a vast amount of weopons and rare items to be found, so anyone is going to have his/her hands full. And I am rating it five stars by playing it only halfway through! That's saying a lot.
The reason why most people would want to buy this is for FF5, which has only been available with emulation until this. FF5, in my opinion, has the best battle system to date! It introduces the full buffet of jobs for you to choose from and customize. It's fairly challenging and very fun. A must have for anyone who enjoyed the old-school RPGs.
4394 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good RTS although it comes in 2nd to Age of EmpiresII. The races in this game are a lot more fun that those of age of empires. Also their isn't as much resource starvation as in AOE. Starcraft is also more fast paced and I think overall is a better multiplayer game due to battle.net's easy play and go layout. Overall, this is the best real time strategy you are going to get for its $20 price on amazon.com PICK IT UP!
You can set up a park in Roller Coaster Tycoon (RCT) that basically runs itself. If you staff it well, you won't even have to worry (much) about the usual things that turn guests off (litter, vandalism, lack of facilities, etc). And what are you doing during all this? Planning expansions. Landscaping. Building roller-coasters. And it's surprisingly entertaining.
3820 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great drinking game. Try it sometimes with a couple of you drinking buddies, its a great game to see who can catch the biggest fish or even team up and play a tourney. The best part is the more fish you catch the drunker you all will get. Very fun game and another must have game for the Dreamcast system.
7212 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Though this game plays a lot like Super Mario 64 it is not quite as good. That is because everything you do a each level you have to repeat as a different character so it gets too redundant. It was a lot easier to beat than Mario 64 as some of those stars are very difficult to get. There are very few in this game that are very difficult.
2511 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Brothers Deluxe is an exact copy of the original Nintendo game. All the same graphics, levels, and even cheats are the same. Even if you beat the original game, this version has a few things added. There's a mode where you race a friend or the computer, a table which has all the Toads that you've unlocked which will let you print out banners and such on the game boy printer, a fortune teller where if you are very lucky you earn five extra lives, and a challenge mode where you have to have a high score, gain red coins and find a yoshi's egg. There is also a picture gallery similar to Zelda Dx. which has pictures of enemies and scenes from the game. This game is pure fun.
4303 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 If a game doesn't hook me within the first half-hour then I'm just not going to see it through to the end. Homeworld just seemed like Age of Empires: In Space to me and the slow, confusing gameplay really got on my nerves. I know that this game has an Army of fans who will denounce my comments, but I simply could not get into it.
4608 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This expansion pack (EP) was a complete wast of my time, and money. It adds a couple new magical weapons and armor, some new spells and a couple new areas to explore. There is no plot to the the EP, just some NPC saying "Oh I lost my son in Durlags Tower. . . ." and stuff like that. The only thing that made this EP worth two stars is that they cleaned up a lot of the rough edges from Baldurs Gate, and increased Experience points to a point where your fighter and like one other class can go up a level. By the way, it is just one more disk that you have to flip through if you decide to replay Baldurs Gate. In conclusion don't buy this EP, it isn't worth it, unless any new EP's come out that require it.
You're tossed into the action from the moment you start the game (this becomes a plot device later, actually). That made me wonder about if the game would be lacking in any kind of non-character-model cutscenes, but I was soon proven wrong: the cutscenes are beautiful, even by today's standards.
If you want a real flight sim this is not it. If you just want to get online and have some fun with others for a while this is it. The target aircraft can do hard right and left turns that would take the wings of any aircraft and thats not right but this is a game and not a sim. This was made sometime ago and graphics have come along way but it is ok for it's time.
Overall, this is one kind of Batman game you should try out.
3889 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Ever get tired of playing a video game? Just get a Gameshark! This product lets you use it to enter codes into any game to modify it. Extra lives, extra equipment, unlimited this or that, and anything you want. With the Gameshark and its codes, you enter the codes once, and the Gameshark saves them so that you do not have to ever type them again. Plus the Gameshark comes with 1000s of codes for 100s of games already preloaded on it! If you get tired of entering codes, then there is something on the back of the shark that lets you hook it into your PC so you can type codes on your PC. The Gameshark includes with a video that shows you how to make your very own codes! Master hackers for games like WWF No Mercy and Star Wars Pod Racer have even made entire new levels and totally changed the game!
5853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great, good price
It deserves a chance.
6024 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although significantly shorter, with worse weapon-pacing, a lot less story and a lot of inconsistancy, Opposing Force manages to still satisfy through great gameplay and innovative new aliens.
4108 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is/was definately a ground breaker. Even now (late 1999) it is still in the 10 ten games. This package contains the original and expansion pack. You also get the strategy guides in the box. I find this a really good value. And contrary to all criticism received, this isn't just warcraft in space, its completely unique. This is just a great deal, very good value!
3239 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game. Lots of fun! If you are a game collector I would suggest you grab this game ;)
9687 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Don't get this game. It is not worth the money. Ok.. you can print the picture out but then you have to buy the pokemon snap card and it costs about $5 and it is just not worth the money. And it is to short. No plot, no challange, might as well go through your photo album, it would be more entertaining
The weapon selection is second only to Turok 2. The amount of badass new weapons here is awesome. They include a flare gun that shoots deadly radioactive flares (it sounds stupid but works surprisingly well), a freeze gun (so you can run around spouting ice-related puns la Mr. Freeze, a napalm gel "sticky-bomb" launcher, the chestburster that implants an alien fetus which will burst out of the opponent's chest Alien-style unless they find a power-up, the emaciator which shrinks the enemy until they're thin and frail, and my favorite, the inflator which shoots a pocket of air into the opponent and inflates them until they explode! Interestingly, instead of picking up weapons within the level, you select five of the available weapons (two bullet, two energy, and one explosive) and then start the game, collecting the ammo as you play. You're also equipped with a default melee weapon, a warhammer. This affords an interesting strategy to picking your weapons because selecting certain weapons together can be a deadly combination; if you have the freeze gun and the inflator, you can freeze the enemy solid and then load up the inflator and shoot them while they're still frozen and defenseless, making an easy kill. The levels have power-ups that give you a variety of special abilities for a limited amount of time, like invincibility, massive damage, and invisibility. Also, as mentioned above, certain levels have special items to pick-up, such as the automated turrets and human bear traps that latch onto an opponent's foot.
Hopefully the games library will one day be ported onto the latest generation of systems.
there are also 24 mimi games or bonus stages you can play without having to play a i player game. each character has 2 different bonus stages.
That is not to say that this game doesn't have it's flaws. For example the difficulty is set (even on easy) to where a casual gamer just can't pick this up and play. The training mode is lackluster, and combos are difficult to pull off. Also despite how cool the music is, it doesn't always fit the area your fighing in. However overall it works just fine.
4284 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have not purchased the original version, you're in luck because you can now get all of the spectacular add-ons for the same price as the original game. One of the best computer games I have ever played. If you like Warcraft or Age of Empires, you'll love Starcraft. The aspect that surprised me the most in this game were the scenario and video segments in between levels. Some of the best computer animated film I've ever seen. Definitely worth the price considering how long the game remains fun, original and challenging.
Overall, this game is a nice addition to the RPG market. It's not the same thing is pretty decently put together.
2703 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh boy, what's not to love about this game? It's an instant classic.
13. Neveda Desert
Gold = Full Health
217 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works great and came sooner then i thought ! 2 thumbs up
I've just bought my 360 and love playing it. I've been playing games since oldschool Nintendo. I remember getting Mario Bros. 3 for Christmas.
2713 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lunar is good RPG Series This one Lunar The Silver Star Story Complete (LSSSC) I got this version when it first was released in the 90's I also had the Sega CD Versions I like this Verson and think its the best version I think Way back when Working Desings was still around the few games they made and or remade was great.
2. There are a couple of glitches in the game. Example: I dare you to cut a sign with your sword. Then play Zeldas lullaby with your ocerina of time. The piece of sign which you had just sliced and diced will float. That's just one of the glitches.
- Story can be confusing to some
It's always fun to play this classic and compare it to current MK games.
2314 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The kids love it. A 3D twist to the classic sonic series. Some interesting gaming inclusions that often catch you off guard.
- A lot of moves are missing; Booker T's axe kick finisher thing, Bret Harts 'hart attack', double team moves, ways to turn your opponent around to grabble them from behind, Hogan's big boot, there is only one pin unless it's a move - not one of them hooks the leg or anything unless it's a move given to them, taunts are missing, entrance taunts are wrong or missing.
I bought this game because the second installment of the series is and will always be my favorite video game of all time. I wanted to take a look at the game's roots and see how the previous one matched up. The biggest changes between the two are an improved script/darker and more comedic storyline in #2, and some better voice acting. Other than that, the gameplay is the same, most of the same weapons are used, and the same AMAZING styles of combat are used. Seriously, the Max Payne Bullet Time feature is one of the coolest features I have had the pleasure of using in video games. There is nothing like the rush of the perfectly executed, awesome movie-like shoot-while-diving type encounter, and Max Payne has the patent on it.
5. This game has hilarious dialogue!
The graphics seem to look much smaller, flatter, and less detailed than they did in Castlevania IV. Graphics in Castlevania IV seemed to stand out more, but that was probably because they were larger. Still, the graphics in Symphony of the Night are not bad at all, even for the year 2003. They even try to please some of us 3D die-hards with a few polygonal renderings, but there are not many of those.
8691 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In the spirit of Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong spin-offs, Interplay has released a very entertaining title that gives you a cartoon-like feel. Even with that feeling, you can't set this game down. It's one of those games with an amazingly simple concept that still gives you weeks of fun. And don't expect amateur graphics when I describe the cartoon atmosphere, the colors are brighter (which is different than most games today) but still stand on their own merit.
4999 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the frithening horror game ever created, play in a dark room and discover the chilling experience in a video game, i really love this.
1022 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After checking GameSpot's (author's note: this was originally posted exclusively on GameSpot.com) and a few user reviews, I absolutely had to throw my two cents in. I couldn't help but laugh when I read the introduction of "Even with all its bells and whistles, Mario Kart 64 is very likely to disappoint you after about a week."
The idea, simple as it sounds, harbors with it the strength to create a fine video game experience: Lock yourself at a mansion filled with zombies and other creatures plus limited ammo, and try to get yourself out of this.
The game suffers from slowdowns, if too many things are on the screen
9283 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
This package includes the orginal game Starcraft and its rather weak expansion pack, Brood War. All the lavish praise I gave above was for Starcraft, but if you want to save some money, you can probably do without Brood War, as it only includes about 6 new units, which hardly changes the way the game plays. Get it if you starve for the extra story that it provides.
"Wait a moment! You look familiar. And yet.... What do you here?"
AI Bots: Yes, you have always had that in single player, but not in Multi-player! and the ability to not only conrtol their level of skill, but also roughly how they would act?! Now that is something to be proud of.
7159 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love the game it has awesome features you can play with four players in a showdown as ether Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Lanky, Chunky and Tiny the game can be challenging, however over all I enjoy the game. This game is good game and worth playing.
1344 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the original party game. the nostalgia that this game brings back makes it a must buy!
3451 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this i got for my son who loves it more than i can say !
- Some nice unlockables
469 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game I have yet to play. It took me six months to finally defeat,figure out and fight my way to the end of this game. This game was like a very suspenseful movie that I was controlling. Many times in the game I was actually sweating from fear. You don,t know what,s waiting for you around each corner, waiting to jump out at you and scare the crap out of you. Even my family and onlookers were startled or to afraid to play this game because of the realism captured in enormous worlds and creepy CD sounds.
Select Zelda keycode and it will ask you if you have the game. Choose yes, and the Shark will mention you dont'
6397 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a very smart 'soldier sim' - less anal than 'Rainbow Six' but much stricter than 'Delta Force'. You guide a set of WW2 SAS commandos through a set of superbly-designed, 'Where Eagles Dare'-style missions, whilst being shot at by extremely accurate Nazi guards. After a short while getting used to the game controls (your soldiers move around realistically - unlike other games, they don't glide effortlessly over the ground) you can order your men around, fight effectively, plant bombs and do all kinds of commando things. The tension is palpable, the presentation is excellent (especially the music, performed by a proper orchestra), and the chance to act out childhood fantasies with a captured MP40 is irresistable.
Several months later, I finally saved up enough money to purchase the system bundled with Mario 64. I loved the game dearly back then, and to this day I still love this game. It still looks, feels and plays unlike any other game that came out during that era. While Zelda Ocarina of Time is similar graphics-wise, that game is so great in it's own right that both games deserve to be recognized separately.
1. It's way too difficult. You get awfully sick of hearing "Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!" every 10 seconds. There should have been a way to ratchet down the difficulty even further for 'tards like me. "Easy" mode really isn't. Sheesh. I wonder what "Hard" mode was like.
Metal Gear Solid is the revolutionary Playstation game that showed the world a new, life-like way to play video games in the late 90's. The influence this game had on the future of video gaming is simply astounding. Metal Gear Solid showed how you can take stealth fighting and wrap a gigantic, memorable story around it. While I'm not a big fan of lengthy twists and turns in video game storylines, I will give Konami a lot of respect for putting an *incredible* amount of time and effort into the game, and in the process, having the Metal Gear Solid series continue to do well on the Playstation 2, and soon, Playstation 3.
I also like the way I can see enemies on my map so if my health is very low and I have no food or potions I can avoid them, making my way back to town.
6714 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i absolutely loved the gameboy pocket its much slimmer than the game boy color which i liked it even came with a free game game n watch galleries the pixles were awesome the ONE downside is that the D pad was pretty stiff and i had to press very hard to change directions
Is challenging for an average game player don't know about hardcore players
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
A few stages that are actually fun include Lethal Lava Land where the platforms convincingly feel like an upgrade into the 3D world from the original Super Mario Bros. castle levels (not to mention better/more interesting use of platform jumping compared to the rest of the levels in SM64), Shifting Sand Land since it's packed with obstacles and enemies (and reasonably challenging overall), and Tall Tall Mountain's tricky climb to the top (involving a vine climbing portion). In fact, to be fair, Tall Tall Mountain is one of the best levels ever in a 3D Mario game. It's *that* good. Bowser's castle levels are pretty solid as well, mostly due to the fast-paced nature of them.
The controls are great
so horror game in the series of resident evil.

8861 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Come on now its It's a game by Super nintendo DONKEY KONG COUNTY is one of the best games of it's day. My children love this game and it came on time as well, its been over 5 months and it still works good
All in all, this battlechest is a mustbuy, and the guides help a lot in case you're stuck, but try to beat the game yourself (I did it) first...
271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So far so good it saves the games that need to be saved. I would buy another one if I had to.
535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Street Fighter is perhaps the definitive fighting game series. Should you feel it necessary to buy absolutely every individual cartridge/disc of the six games contained on the two SF Collections, then do so and spend a ton of cash. They are all excellent titles, but the two collections of a game that defined the fighting genre are perfect. Street Fighter Collection, the original that is in the spotlight, is actually the more up-to-date one. While it does not contain the original Street Fighter II, it does contain 3 classic Street Fighter games. First is Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, released on SNES and Genesis in 1994. It was mindbendingly good the first time I played it. It had a solid 16 fighters. All 8 from Street Fighter II, the bosses, plus 4 new characters never heard of before: Cammy, Dee Jay, Fei Long, and T. Hawk. You might think, "Oh wow, a new edition with new fighters. Never seen THAT before." Well, you're wrong. Super Street Fighter II did contain 4 new arenas (respectively the ones for the new fighters). It also had newly mixed music, newly animated profile shots, and newly animated backgrounds. Basically, it was a perfect upgrade. Super Street Fighter II Turbo is also included. It may seem like Super Street Fighter II with the speed like Street Fighter II Turbo, but it added something. Each character had one SUPER MOVE. From Ryu and Ken's Shinkuu Hadoken to Chun Li's Kikousho, they really gave a great new edge to the series. Akuma is even hidden in this upgrade. Also, the definitive of the three Street Fighter Alpha games, Street Fighter Alpha 2, gets upgraded to Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold Edition. Cammy is added on, and Evil Ryu becomes playable (YAY!). What's strange is that some of the cast gets an additional playability in their SFII:CE animation. So it's definetely worth picking this up...if you don't already have all three of these games for your SNES (Alpha 2 is also on the PS).
I suggest buying it
3665 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gauntlet Legends is one of the best N64 games ever made. " Yellow wizard needs food ....your magic is full.... poison food taste bad ." Such a classic game with so much replay value, its also great for up to 4 players at once. Gauntlet Legends N64 game came out in 1999 and is still great fun and entertaining to play 16 years later. I have spent countless hours playing this over the years and it never gets boring or looks outdated. Awesome game.
One thing that still surprises me to this day, though, is the sharpness of the game's resolution. No, there aren't hardly any textures to be found, as Bubsy's 3D world consists of purely colored geometric shapes, but I'll be darned if there isn't hardly a jaggy edge to them. The characters and their expressions, as well as their animations, are actually really well defined, and the 2D sprites fail to pixelate. Its just too bad that they all live in a world created by the God of Playskool.
6036 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Half-Life:Opposing Force takes place as your charecter being Adrian Sheperd. Arian is a Corporal in the army and is being trained for a mission. That mission leads him back to where Gordan Freeman was,yet not in the same places. During the game you once again see the G-man that just appears somwhere and stands there clamly atching,then walks away. Half-Life:Opposing Force goes to the places Gordan wasn't. You do not fight on Xen anymore,butyou stay back on Earth and experiance what happend while Gordan was gone. As the coporal,you command a squad of soldiers,but you don't just start off with them. You have to find your friends for no apperant reason. And the so called "Improved AI" i found nowhere. During one point in the game you ahve a medic and and enginer.the enginer opens a door and there is a drone gun waiting. Suddenly he runs straight for the drone gun without shooting or anything yelling "We're gonna kick your ass!".At that point he falls down dead because he has just been pumped full of lead. Enemy AI isn't better at all. When you die,and die again,and again ,and again you begin to notice patterns in EVERY move the enemy takes. I got his game for Christmas,and beat it the same day in 4 hours using the meduim difficulty mode. That is how short the game is. Half-life:Oppossing Force isn't a dissapointment though. It's a very good game that should satisfy anyone that like Half-Life.
837 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I purchased this game the graphics were obviously amazing with the new nintendo 64. I used to play this hours on end, doing the single player missions over and over and also having some friends over to play multiplayer. After the playstation 2 came out I pushed the nintendo 64 over for a few weeks but I found my self slowly returning to some goldeneye along with a few other great nintendo 64 games.
Bottom line this one is VERY worth your $$$$$$$! You will thank me for the bags under your eyes!
4164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Grand Prix Legends can be what you are looking for if you are a fan of 60s Grand Prix, you have a good Internet connection, you only have a mediocre computer, and you're willing to persevere with sometimes incomplete instructions and downloads. My computer has the Intel integrated graphics from 2008 instead of a game card, but it still runs this game well that uses 16 and 32 bit graphics.
Some require you to actually have trained or else face a brutal whipping. Final 3 bosses each have their own "twang" to them. Especially Sephiroth who is fun to go up against time and time again. I mean c'mon, who doesn't like a cool character with a wing for an arm? Music kind of gets to you though and his 5 minute Super Nova attack gets really frustrating when he does it about 10 times.
4910 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What else could you review these as? They work, they do the job you want them too. I've tired wireless remotes for N64 which were ok, but would loose connection for ever so brief, but caused my turtle shells to release. Now these allow me some distance without issue.
THE GOOD
The default controls for this game are the easiest to work with of any of the Marvel titles. You'll find it easy to learn and it fits the PS controller perfectly. Air combos can be pulled off easily but it may take a while for some to learn how to do them.
935 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It still boggles my mind how amazing this game is. I cannot even think or read about it without getting giddy. Another Zelda game just came out-- Skyward Sword-- and reviewers have been raving about its story and art work and graphics, etc, etc, etc. But it still doesn't compare to Ocarina of Time. Not even close. I have played many, many games, and there is no question, this is still the best game ever. No one here is lying. It deserves every one of those endless 5-stars. There is a massive chasm separating this game from every other game fighting for second place. No other game even comes close.
The largest flaw with this game is its age. The engine doesn't allow zooming in or out. Most commanding happens through the mini-map, which can take some adjusting. However, a more advanced engine that supports Total Annihilation maps and mods has been released. It's named "TA Spring". I highly recommend that engine as well. Aside from the engine, there were no major flaws to this game. It is one of the best RTS games ever made.
SNK has always had the most colorful roster, each character distinct with their own robust (if sometimes disturbing) personality that fuels the game. Coupled with good animation, great music, and top-notch controls (minimal learning curve) anyone who considers themselves a 2D fighting fan NEEDS this title. King of Fighters may not be as popular as Capcom's titles, but in Japan it's still one of the most popular series around and for good reason. KOF:DM99 continues the legacy of excellent SNK fighting games.
Replay value:9/10- Four different adventures in the main scenario definitely gives this game HIGH replay value. You can go either Leon A/Claire B or Claire A/Leon B. Capcom ,however, is not really well known for developing their mini games in a well thought out process. The extra battle game labeled "Hunk's" scenario is ok, but it left a huge plot hole in future games that have arrived on the shelf. Extreme Battle Mode was fun but the downside is, there's nothing new you can earn for the main game.
The characters are simply unforgettable. Cloud, Aeris, and Yuffie were my favorites of the bunch. Each character has such wonderful design, half realistic half cartoonish, full detailed backgrounds, and such personality and potential to develop that I enjoyed following everyone one of them.
1202 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excelent
5. A must own for any Nintendo lover. This is Nintendo in a box. Fun, Goofy, and awesome.
1457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When you first buy this game, you will need to give it time. Reading the Manual first just might be alot of help. The game starts out in pause mode. This gives you time to zone space for roads, residental & commercial or indutry zones, water pipes and electrical wires. It times take to know the best way to zone RCIs. It's not easy and money can disappear fast so don't go crazy zoning everything and destorying things, it will cost you. It sum this review in one sentence. It takes time to build a perfect city so try different approaches and eventually your get it right.
8392 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Star Trek Armada is : A very good game!
MUSIC: 10/10
Also of note are the wonderful graphics (still potent after 3-4 years), and of course, that biting Blizzard humor, which shows itself in the peculiar comments that your soldiers make. There is so much polish and shine on this game, it's no wonder it was a best seller for years and years.
Asheron's Call does a great job in meeting the demands of the game. For instance, if a gliche is found that allows players to take advantage of certain rules, it is fixed in the next patch. If the world is becoming too simple for players, more powerful creatures are added. There are so many good things I have to say about AC (Asheron's Call), I would waste your time typing them. :)
1737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The first time I played this game, I was in the mall and it was cool! So I decided to get it when it came out. It's a lot more different looking than MK Trilogy. It looks more realistic also. The title says it all.....
7187 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Despite the fact that it didn't catch on with the public too well, I personally thought Jersey Devil was alot better than alot of other platform games out there. If I didn't have Crash, Jersey would be my second game of choice. Sure, it had its' lil flaws just like any other game but they weren't big enough to mar the gameplay experience. The graphics were good, it was like playing a cartoon. The sound was great, all the way down to the cartoon noise effects. And, most of all, the gameplay was challenging(just like a good platformer ought to be). If you like a good challenge.....love platform games and just plain having fun, Jersey Devil is the game for you.
INTERESTING FIGHTS: Unlike most RPG's which have thousands of fights against a huge number of unintelligent opponents, Fallout 2 tends to have fewer, more interesting fights. (Or at least it can. A real blood and guts player who charges into every situation with guns blazing could still generate a lot of carnage.) A particularly nice feature is the "Outdoorsman" skill, which lets you spot random encounters in the badlands and avoid them if you want. This means that players who want to get in a rumble can do so, while those who just want to get on with the story can save the time.
Samba De Amigo
Wellll, onto the gameplay. This is where Giants really shines. When playing as either the Meccs, Reapers, or Kabuto, the game offers three very different play styles, all of which are equally fun. The game's narrative is tied together by genuinely hilarious in-engine cutscenes, featuring some of the best writing and voice acting I've ever seen in a game. The funniest cutscenes feature the Meccs and the native smarties that populate the island. Both the Meccs and the smarties are for some reason British, lending a Monty Python-ish feel to the game.
Gameplay/Movieplay, it lasts a long time. 9.5/10
I believe that, if you are going to get the most out of this game, you should play it online. Not only because of the other people that you can interact with, but also because you can level up much faster; assuming you have someone to help you through the game. I guess I should first explain how you go about "beating" this game. The first time you play through the game is known as "normal" difficulty. After you complete this, you also have to beat the game in "nightmare" and "hell" difficulties. Naturally, these are much harder than normal; and thus they require your character to be a higher level to have a chance. Nevertheless, there is a way around this. You can get a high level character to "rush" your low level character through the entire game; thus avoiding the tedious and time consuming procedure for leveling up. After you are rushed through the three difficulty levels, then the best way to level up is to join "cows games". Basically, the designers created a "secret level" where you, well, fight bipedal cows with what look like pole-axes. Naturally, the advantage to doing this is that you level up very quickly, as the cows, when killed, give out enormous numbers of experience points. Thus, you can turn your low level character into a fairly high level one much quicker than if you went through all the difficulty levels yourself, killing everything and gaining experience points the "right" way.
You have to protect people and thing's like, big-headed skinny-
6921 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Just kill kill kill then kill some more, find a key, and start killing again. This formula sound either good or bad, for those thinking good, its great! For those of the latter, still pretty good. I'll admit its repetitive, the stories don't have lots to tell, but they are multiple, with own powers n weapons too, just not a game to be played to beat right away. More for playing an hour or two then continue a day or two later. Still very fun kind of like twisted metal if they got out of their cars and roamed a complex. Controls are simple, grphics aren't bad, and is fun dark story, though lil of.
HEADS UP: There's only 50,000 copies being released, and my number according to the certificate is around 49,400. That's how many they've sold in just over a year. If you want this, don't hesitate.
5026 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back in 2002, I had never really played any kind of survival horror game ever in my life. A friend of mine came over to my house and brought Silent Hill and the Playstation. I was just watching and I really liked how it had snow falling out in the town in the summer nonetheless, it looked like a really scary game. Then, months later, I borrowed this game from my friend and played from the beginning and didn't get really far because I really didn't know what to do. Finally, one night, when my friend was back over at my house, I was playing and he was sitting there watching and we were playing with surround sound, the lights off and no one else was in the house. From the very beginning alley, I was very scared! So I get to the school, Midwich Elementary School, and everything looks normal. My friend who was watching kept telling me that once I go through the Clock Tower, I will be back at Midwich Elementary and that it will be the same school but at the same time, it wouldn't be the same school and at that point, I was really starting to freak out. I had no idea what horrors were waiting for me!
The rest of the additions are just mediocre or worse. The new character class is fun, but kinda unbalanced, and doesn't really add a lot of depth. Lots of stuff feels tacked on and has an inconsistent art style that doesn't match Diablo's polish. There aren't really a lot of new quests. One (of the two) new area is downright annoying. Some of the best features can only be enabled by editing a special file outside the game.
Polygons: 3 million per second
Fun Factor: This is not fun! For one, neither I nor my brother can beat the first level. Supe both flying and running moves slow - if you try to fly: You'll have only ten-percent control over it! Not to mention the objectives you do are only for monkeys, you've got a timer for most of your objectives, this game is repetitive above all else, you have a health meter, a meter for all of your special abilities minus flying and you're gonna have to really try to get over your anger and impatience to beat this game!
..heck no!!
You're far better off spending a few extra dollars buying the real thing
8560 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Critical Depth came about in a time when Sony's 989 Studios took the Twisted Metal & Jet Moto licenses back from Developer Singletrac and decided to make their own versions of those games. I, like many others, was a huge Singletrac supporter back in the day. Their Twisted Metal & Jet Moto games were simply fun, addictive and challenging. Yet, when they created new games for GT Interactive in the vein of their old licenses, that's when I think Singletrac did some of their best work. That's not to say that any of their older properties weren't as good...Twisted Metal 1&2 and Jet Moto 1&2 are classics. It's just they came up with new ideas for these games that actually worked and I, personally, would've loved to see sequels to these games. Sadly, though, we'll never get that chance.
Don't let the dated graphics turn you away from this one, it's a "TRUE GEM" and rightfully belongs in any Fight fan's collection, if you can find a copy. I searched the WEB and when i did find a copy ( which was rarely)
5131 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have owned this game for several years and decided to buy another copy for a friend.
3294 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS IS THE BEST ARCADE GAME EVER. IT IS SOOO FUN. I COULND STOP PLAYING IT. I THINK EVERBODY SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF AT LEAST ONE OF PAC MANS GAMES....GET THIS GAME
FINAL VERDICT:
I love how both Mega Man and Zero (which was my character of choice) had their own story-lines. And I loved how they would throw Animation clips within the game which was a refreshing seeing how most video games back then and
715 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Oh, the memories. You: Bond. Me: Oddjob. Multilayer deathmatch. Proximity mines. Silenced weapons. Challenges. Awesome levels. Replayability: through the roof. A game that truly belongs in almost any N64 game collection, it'seems a true classic now.
an old video game. It only costs you $11.00 for the WII VC version, so do the math, fools! I've been a Zelda fan since
3410 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Its a nifty little console, however, it makes a really menacing grinding noise whenever its loading a disk, I'm not sure if that's normal because I've never owned a Dreamcast before, and It also sounds like the internal cooling fans are having a hard time cooling it. I'm glad I made the purchase, however I am uncertain of the longevity of its life.
Later in installments Crash changed. There was CTR or Crash Team Racing which is fun if you like racing, and even if you don't....but it's not about finding boxes and getting through areas like the originals. Later there is one where you and a friend can play at once (Titans I think) and it's my very least favorite. There is also Crash Bash (LOVE THAT ONE, so fun, super for family time! But not the same 'story line' type as the early ones.
5220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is probably one of the top 3 games ever. I personally rank it #1 and GoldenEye as #3. The reason this game is so awsome is because of it's movie like qualities. For a maximum impact, you should play this game in long stretches with as few distractions as possible. This will litterely put you inside the movie. The plot is just awsome, and it gets better as it goes along. It took my about a year to beat the game, and a total of about 50 hours of gameplay. I did stop playing it for about 6 months win I got stuck on a level, then stopped for another month when I got stuck on the last couple of levels. I still think they should make a movie series of this game. Overall, I think I would pay about ... if I needed to to get this game.
I played FFI, FFIV, and FFVI before this game, and on my first playthrough of FFVII, I mourned the absence of some elements included in FFVI, such as multi-party battles, and FFVI's non-linear second act, but in time, I came to realize that in terms of characterization and presentation, FFVII is the quintessential Final Fantasy game.
- Great-tight controls
To begin, the size and depth of this game is extraordinary for its time. I couldn't believe it upon first play. The regions to explore are expansive. The situations that occur at each location differ depending upon your party, and events that you have accomplished elsewhere.
7074 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I could only get to the first boss. Don't get me wrong I had fun with this game, but many factors killed it for me.
915 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game!
Dragons: These have been turned to stone by Gnasty Gnorc. To save them you simply find them, then walk up to them or charge at them or Flame them. They will then come back to life and talk to you before flying away. Some will give you advice, others will thank you, and some will just talk (sometimes insulting you).
1) The graphics engine is top notch. Written by the man himself, John Carmack, it possess the best graphics engine created, up until Carmack creates his new engine. Unreals engine does come close, but I believe the Quake3 engine would win in a "duel of engines." (I just hate the water effects in the Quake3 engine!) 2) The player models are the best. Period. There are models for everyone's tastes: monsters, humans, one-eyed cyborgs, the whole 9 yards. Each one has its own animation and sound. Very cool when "fragging" (killing) someone. The level of detail up close is astonishing. My hat goes off to Paul Steed, the creator of the models in Q3.. 3) The gameplay is the best around. Unlike Unreal Tournament, I feel like I'm in control of the environment. Games for Q3 are designed for less people (around 10) than in Unreal Tournament, in which about 20 or so would work well. It's pretty hard to explain the gameplay, but the best way to put it would be to say, "it just feels right." The control, weapon firing, is much smoother. I also like the stability of Q3 more than in Unreal Tournament. 4) The MOD (modification of the game. To add depth to the game that was not originally added) community for Quake is the best in the business. So many great MODS are being released, with many more to come. MODS like Alliance CTF ([...]) Quake3Fortress ([...]) and JailBreak ([...]) just to name a few, are cropping up to make the Quake3 experience that much more enjoyable! The teams spend months adding to Quake3. They add models, sounds, textures, and just about everything to essentially change the game. I am, however, looking forward to more great MODS in the future. (one note: Unreal Tournament has great MODS lined up, but Quake is the clear leader in the MOD community.) 5) The network code is top notch. Players with 56K and...EGAD!... 28K modems will love the new code. Obviously, having a cable modem makes the experience much better, but the game is very playable with dial up connections.
3168 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 After buying my Dreamcast used with alot of games, I just noticed that this is the last game I tried out, and the first game that I put away. The gameplay is the shallowest ever. I didn't play (or look at) this game since I tried it for the first time. The graphics are extremely bad. The players look very unrealistic. The colors in this game are very bad and dark. the entire game looks like an N64 game.
If it was less than $15 I would definitely pick up the PlayStation version and a used PlayStation, but $60 is outrageous when it is available for less than 1/6 that price on Xbox Live Arcade!! Classic all the way!
6417 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is just like Starcraft except it's not nearly as good....if you like Starcraft this is a big dissapointment compared to it.
2775 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the first PC game I ever bought. With it's awesome graphics and compelling story, it's easy to see why this is the top selling game of all-time. In it's time, this game and The 7th Guest changed the way gaming was to be. Most point and click games you see today are following these 2 trend setting games, but it's very hard for them to match up to what these games accomplished. It has some very tough puzzles and about the only lacking was there isn't much going on when you click on an area except for sound which is a key for most of the puzzles you will be solving. If you like point and click games with puzzles to solve, this is the game for you. A thoroughly enjoyable game that I have played close to a dozen times.
Many reviewers have already broke down the gist of the game so I will simply add my two cents to my review of it. This game brought back the gameplay mechanics of the first NES title and expands on it in every way imaginable. Top it off with the graphics and sounds capable of what the SNES can put out and an even bigger quest than the previous two games before it and you got a classic that you won't be able to put down. Everything about the game is perfect: the overall presentation, the top down perspective that showed every graphical detail of the overworld and dungeons, spot on controls that had you control Link on his quest to save Princess Zelda, memorable music tracks, incredible sound effects all wrapped up in a quest that will take days to complete (and even longer if you find all of the game's secrets.)
Gameplay: The infamous Z-Targeting system that's spawned several developers to use it in their own games. The recent Star Fox Adventures uses this. Your C-Buttons are for your weapons. B is your sword and A is your action button(Talk, Jump, Climb,etc.). You'll know this system by heart cause Navi tells you how many times about it within the first hour. Camera is excellent and the Z targeting helps.
Soul Calibur!

+ Secrets are abundant and it will take ages to find them all by yourself.
I know the Playstation's old graphics look dated by todays standards and many people have a problem with them, but this game is an exception because the grainy graphics really add more fear and excitement to the game. It makes it so, no matter where you go, you're surrounded by this world of dreariness. The level of fear doesn't let up at ALL throughout the entire game- you are forced to either get used to it or else turn off the game if you can't handle it. I honestly believe there's nothing to be ashamed of if you can't handle it. Many people can't watch horror movies because after the movie is over and they turn the television off, they're afraid of the silence. Every little sound they hear after the movie is over will make them jump and yell "what was THAT!!"
And the gameplay, oh the gameplay! You are in a fully interactive 3D environment. After turning the N64 on and getting a file set up (after spending entirely too much time messing with Mario's face at the starting screen - don't worry, we all did that!), Mario jumps out of a pipe, and you are in a field with a castle ahead of you. You can jump, swim, scoot, crawl, kick, punch, wall-jump. Yo can do a backflip even and a triple jump and a long jump. The game is so vibrant, colorful, and, at least back in the late 1990s, simply a beauty to behold.
Try Roller Coaster Tycoon if you're an adult fan of simulated amusement park game software (but even that gets a bit dull after a while -- it's easy to win and repetitive).
Why?
As with all great n64 games this one accells in the multiplayer department. It will appeal to people of all ages. you can choose from 3 different multiplayer modes battle championship single race. The most fun out of all of those is batlle because you go around getting items then try to hit your friends with any item you get. if you hit your'e oponent they'll lose a balloon they have 3 ballons.
Tons of games from original GB to GBC library
The graphics for the time are outstanding, however when compared to today it is proof of how dated graphics can get quickly.

7619 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 "Shadows of the Empire" was one of the debut games for the Nintendo 64 system, and it was a quite a debut. Capitalizing on the huge popularity of the Star Wars series of novels, LucasArts took one of the more popular books, "Shadows of the Empire", and created a video game based on it. "Shadows..." starts off with the Hoth snow battle where you use one of the speeders to take out probe droids, AT-STs, and AT-ATs. From there, you play as mercenary Dash Rendar, whose job it is to assist Luke and Leia in the capturing of a super computer that contains details of the next Death Star and to battle the Black Sun crime syndicate. The varying locales of each and methods of gameplay for each board allow for a diverse, entertaining experience. There are space battles, battles aboard moving trains, and numerous battles on foot help increase the intensity of the gameplay. One of the best boards comes late in the game and involves a mission to infiltrate and destroy Prince Xizor's (the head of Black Sun) palace. The music effects are the best this side of the original trilogy soundtrack and graphics create a haunting environment of a castle that is very dark, almost fog-laden, and very forbidding to proceed through.
Battle System (score 9/10): Combat is turn-based like most Final Fantasies. You draw magic out of enemies to cast directly on enemies, or to equip as stat buffers. It's fairly easy to learn this system. However, drawing magic over and over again and re-equiping it constantly (and also re-equiping GFs) can get rather tedious; that's what knocks the point off the score. Other than that, the battle system is fine. I especially like the ability to pull the trigger on the gunblade using the R1 button; it adds a level of fun interactiveness to the battles.
Torment is based on AD&D rules and an overlooked AD&D campaign setting, Planescape. Torment is true to its pen-and-paper roots, automating the cumbersome rules and allowing enjoyable, structured gameplay and character development. The game is designed in the spirit of the Fallout series, Black Isle Studios' first smash-hit CRPG line, which means lots of reading and lots of interactive dialogue choices which monopolize a lot of game time. The game uses a modified version of the Infinity Engine used in Bioware's "Baldur's Gate" series, also part of the family of AD&D-based CRPGs.

Tsutaya - water blue w/ orange buttons (Japan, 2000)
Overall a good game for beginners of strategy based games and those who are familiar with Final Fantasy. The story is your usual FF banter without the role playing element. I highly recommend this game to the previously metioned groups of gamers. Those looking for more serious strategy fix may wanna skip this one. One of the top 20 PSX games of all time. Also, I recommend buying the strategy guide, there is an in-game tutorial but the book explains everything much better.

Sky Chase- 8/10: Many people did not like this zone. I thought it was a nice change of pace, though. Sonic gets in his airplane and chases Eggman's Flying Fortress. That was pretty much it. I liked it.

All of this brings together a game that's surprisingly boring to play. The levels are lengthy but they aren't engaging. Were it actually a traditional side scrolling beat 'em up it might've actually been okay, but instead it's a game where you go room by room. But doing this isn't even all that great in and of itself as each time you enter a room you have to wait for the game to load each area. For large stages with several rooms such as the first level of the game where enemies can knock you back into a previous room... this is going to get annoying. The game even flashes the words "Hold on," each time you go to another area. The music also isn't adding anything to this either. It's kind of boring and repetitive... but it also doesn't really pump you up or make you feel like Batman. Take, for example, how the SNES version of "The Adventures of Batman and Robin." Everything about that game reminds you of the animated television show it's based on. Here you've got nothing that reminds you you're playing a Batman game.
GoldenEye has a great plotline (in my opinion, even better than the movie) and long missions, which allow a lot of replay value. The graphics are a bit blurry, but that is to be expected in an N64 FPS.
6900 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back when these games were coming out I saved everything I made from doing construction work and chores to buy a copy of Virgin's "Cool Spot", "The Lion King", and "Jungle Book". Each of these games was awesome in its own way. Cool Spot had a lot of extremely difficult jumps in its levels and it's challenge was in falling down vast distances and starting the level over. Jungle Book featured some really difficult boss battles, tricky enemies, and some astounding level mazes. And Lion King was a tour-de-force of tough enemies, challenging puzzles, and extremely difficult level design (to prevent you from beating the game on a rental). Aladdin...
Recognize Ocarina of Time for making the 3D Zelda series exist. That's fair. It allowed Wind Waker to eventually be created which in turn made the 3D Zelda formula better starting from that game until now. By 2003 Nintendo was working with the technologically superior Gamecube console which allowed the Zelda series to be fully realized in all major categories (gameplay, graphics, replay value and excitement). I say avoid Ocarina of Time but hey, nobody will listen or agree with me anyway so carry on and have a wonderful day!
5042 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...for its fun factor, craftsmanship and mods - Unreal Tournament. Though basically a multiplayer, the player gets to fight off the included bots (computer-controlled opponents), which turn the game into an outstanding singleplayer experience.
extra dungeon hidden somewhere on the map. If you're a Zelda fan like I am\, you must own this game, it's a classic.
The Nintendo 64's controllers are excellent as well. They have a firm grip and are more comfortable than the Nintendo GameCube's. The only problem is that the joysticks wear out quite easily so you have to buy new ones constantly. (Especially if you play Mario games.)
The damage and knock out works like this: With each attack landed on an opponent, their damage percentage goes up. The higher the percentage, the farther and faster each player will fly after each hit. Players can fall off the edge of the map, or fly too high and fall into the horizon. In single player mode, you fight computer controlled characters on many different stages. You earn points based on how well you do (ie how fast you defeat all the enemies) and what you do (ie using the same move the whole stage). Eventually you can fight the master hand, boss of the last stage. Once you beat him, you have the opportinity to unlock hidden characters, Luigi (Mario), Jigglypuff(Pokemon), Ness(EarthBound), and Captain Falcon(FZero Racing). You also try for the highest score.
8301 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After 6 Mega Man games on the NES, Capcom was ready to move on and rather than simply continue the series, they came up with an alternate take on Mega Man himself. In 1994, Mega Man X was released and they introduced a brand new Mega Man series that made its debut on the SNES. It was a breath of fresh air for the popular franchise and was a major hit among gamers and video game critics.
Some people have a problem with the lack of challenge. While it's completely true you won't have much trouble making it to the end of any stage in the game, prepare to die 4 or 5 times in each stage before you understand exactly what you have to do, and where you have to jump. I think the most challenging thing about Spyro the Dragon are the times you have to jump onto a far-away platform, and many times you just BARELY make it. Many times you will fall to your death. Be patient, though. The game NEVER messes with you by throwing in any impossible jumps. Sometimes it's about finding *just* the right spot to jump and glide, and if you're off just a *little bit* you won't make it. The creators of Spyro are smart not to make the game frustrating, seeing as how it's supposed to be a game for the entire family. Good work.
9809 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game out back in 98 and it is still my favorite game ever. better than halo 1 and 2, all the silent hills , and every other game you or i could think of. now i won't lie it is not scary that is the only flaw to the game but who cares when its this much fun. some versioins have the extreme battle mode which isn't perfect but still very fun. i would give this this game a 1000 out of 5 but i cant so it gets the 5
4753 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When people talk about the greatest game for the PSX most people will probably tell you Final Fantasy VII or something like that. But I always think of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. By far this is the greatest 2D platformer to ever grace the gaming world, and there is no Castlevania better than Symphony of the Night.
5252 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had never heard of this game until I purchased a copy of Zone of Enders for the PS2. And after doing some reading about the game on the internet and playing the Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty demo, I decided to check out the PS1 Metal Gear game. To simply put it, this game is the best game I have played to date. I found this game to be much better than Oni for the PS2 in fact. The puzzle and bosses on this game were very different and possessed depth of character. Some parts of the game were frustrating particularly fighting Metal Gear Rex at the end of th game, also the torture scene was pretty hard too. But I can't wait to see Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty come out this year. I know it will be one of the best and highest selling games of all time regardless of the videogame platform. This is definitely an innovative and original game that sets new standards for others of this type. Buy it and you will see what I am talking about.
3748 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sonic Adventure was the start of Sonic's 'Modern' appearence, its an excellent game, and the storyline will send shivers of joy down your back, it was also the first game to allow you to raise Chao!, its really cool, also try the sequel (sonic Adventure 2) its got an even better storyline and is the first appearence of Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the bat
1395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Every now and then a start this game up from scratch and go seeking the 120 stars and the battles with Bowser. What makes this game so fun is that even though you master it there are several stars that are just so hard to get again (I don't know how many times I need to race the penguin down the chute before I can get one of the tougher stars).
6819 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Long story Short, BUY IT, its highly addicting, the soundtrack is amazing and its so simple too, who wouldnt want this? Sonic The Hedgehog for the win! (FTW)
6540 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Asheron's Call is a basic RPG played online. You create your character from three different races of humans (basically English, Arabian or Japanese) and then assign skills and stats to customize your character. And then you're launched into the world of Asheron's Call.

I've used 2 of these cables for about 6 months to play games on my gamecube and wii. Everyday I wrap the cords back up around the controller and tuck it away. All that twisting of the cords has had no effect on the connectors. They operate just great. The 2 pack was enough for me to sit about 15 feet back from the console and still have slack.
Pokemon moves will have to be looked up (what they learn, when they learn it and etc). Items will have to be looked up for their original japanese names and etc. This game might have to be played with some sort of guide over all...but, as I said before, once you get the hang of it, the rest is exactly like classic Red and Blue versions.
LucasArts should never have associated with this garbage. I thought that I would never buy another LucasArts game again without playing it first. But then I bought Rebel Alliance. Now I know I'll never buy another LucasArts game without playing it first.
This is definetly a smart people's game. Don't go in to it thinking it's another mindless build and rush game. It will actually challenge you to think.
9349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow. Simply put, Max Payne is one of those games that makes you sit back and thank the heavens for your PC. From the brilliant opening sequence to the dingy corridors of Hell's Kitchen apartments and subway systems, Payne promises a feast of graphic delight, convincing audio, and a wealth of gameplay goodness. The game's depiction of Max's wife being murdered is harrowing, and from there, the story just gets better. Told in snippets of pulp fiction graphic novel, Payne's bent-on-revenge theme works to perfection. The locale of NYC is genuine, down to the ambulance sirens, mailboxes, and subway location signs. But where the game really stands out is its gameplay. Although Max is a conventional shooter, it is anything but. Using the brilliant "shootdodge" and "bullet-time" techniques, Max can essentially slow down the clock and dispatch enemies, despite overwhelming odds. How, you ask? By slowing the enemy's actions (including their bullets), Max remains in real time, essentially letting you squeeze off a few rounds before the bad guys even knew what hit them. When it's all over, you'll see foes somersaulting backwards, bullets and blood their last hurrah. The game's use of Max's heartbeat to slow down the action is unforgettable, and having to use it only in times of trouble is amazing. It never gets overdone. The action sequences are too good to be true. In fact, to believe it, you'll simply have to see it. Action camera angles are done seamlessly, and Max's comments during the game keep the story flowing. Cut scenes are meticulously crafted in grainy comic book action, and the style works, thanks to the story's key elements.
Overall, this is a game that no gamer should be without. This game truly shines in single player and if you ever get into multiplayer after the load times, the realistic deathmatch mode is great.
He never paid me for it and I sent it back to the seller whim returned some of my money.
Unreal Tournament has no need for a story. It's no-fuss interface allows the game-player to immediately launch themselves into the 'Unreal Tournament'- a futuristic fight-to-the-death. Initially you are only able to play deathmatch, but as more scenarios are completed, four other game formats are introduced. There's 'capture the flag', in which you lead a team of fighters in an attempt to capture the opposing team's flag, all while defending your own. Following that, there's 'domination', a somewhat boring format that has your team controlling as many 'point scorers' as possible in order to amass your growing total to a winning score. The most exciting format is 'assault', whereby your team infiltrates either a submarine or a moving train, or whatever, in order to satisfy a number of mission objectives, all under a given time period. Following that, you graduate on to a really hard version of death-match that provides most of Unreal Tournament's frustration.
The enemies are excellent. This game has dinosaurs that look and feel like Jurrasic Park dinosaurs. The raptors are vicious and terrifying, the pterradactyles are a situational enemy but they are a thrilling challenge, the dome-headed dinosaurs show up and kick your can, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex is simply great. The enemys are so well used in the game that they are completely plausable. They take a great deal of damage and are fast and strong enough to rip you apart.
Gameplay: You have some new moves in this one. You can team up and throw your partner to reach higher platforms of defeat enemies. You also can do a helicopter spin with Dixie for reach far away platforms.
79 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 amazing
The story:
This game is fast action, and exploration, and questing. There are missions you have to unlock and sub missions you must complete plus you can switch between characters. And each characters levels differ, like tails racing sonic or knuckles finding shards, this was quite possibly the best platformer ever made. It puts mario to shame and I hope the known world undesrtands this!
Everybody knows that Kirby can swallow his opponents and take on some of their powers in this game, but what if you accidentally "ate" a character you didn't want -- and you want to pursue someone else? Simple: Just press the L Button to pull of Kirby's "Hello!" taunt and he will discard whatever power he took on.
To argue which of the fallout series was best is irrelevant. Its been 10 years now and both are one and the same concept. Play both, enjoy both and marvel in a world that is astonishingly engrossing. A post-nuclear environment, dark, violent, and obscene. It oozes atmosphere. The desolate landscapes, paranoid androids, and the filth and scum in between. There is remarkable insight into the societies at large. Communities that build walls to protect visa approved 'Citizens', ravaged towns filled with junkies, bums, thugs, whores and gangsters, secret brotherhoods and tribal villages, a decaying military faction, slaves, mercenaries.... the list goes on. Riddled within the world, are traces of old and new technology. The Mad Max influences are all there. Salvaged ammunition, restored handguns, modified equipment, armor, explosives, foods, drugs, alcohol,.... whatever you can find, steal, trade, buy, or kill to survive.
This is an awesome game to FPS lovers. (by the way this version of the game is rated `M' so it's very cruel)
+ Makes references to X-Files episodes and mythology
4771 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my opionion this is the best CASTLEVANIA out there. This is a 2D game with some nice 3D backgrounds. You have alot of different weapons, spells, and other helpful items that lend support in your long journey. The enemies are very cool to look at (nice animation) however, that doesn't stop you from wanting to shead much blood. The game carries a "T" for "TEEN' rating. There is quite a bit of blood in the game which is cool. I'm telling you right now and many of you know this..CASTLEVANIA: SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT is HUGE. You will have to back track alot in the game. With that being said, I will also say that even though you do alot of back tracking the game never feels repetitious. The gameplay gets a 100% without a second thought. If you own a PS1, dust it off and buy this masterpiece.
717 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was everything I remember it being and everything I was promised I was paying for :)
AOEII is what one could call the prime example of its genre. Most RTS's force you to ... your oppenent with bigger guns, but in AOEII that is not the case. Military is simply a defense, and in times of need, an army for war. The various paths and civilizations make you all warm and comfy.
But it is still a step up from FF7. The animation for characters and GFs are far better. Not having to use MPs and instead drawing magic gives the player more fun with magic. The Limit Breaks give each character their own flavor. You will definitely feel that you've earned your victory over the final boss, with the final fight being neither too easy nor too difficult.

If you are interested in this game, but don't want to play an older console anymore or don't have a N64, I recommend Mario Party 4 and 5 for the Nintendo Gamecube. Exceptionally fun, with quite a bit less dangerous button smashing.
I would recommend this game to anyone who owns a N64, along with a few other classics (Goldeneye, SM64, SM Kart, PilotWings, Ocarina of Time, Gauntlet Legends & WCW/NWO Revenge)
Gameplay 10/10 Awesome gameplay, the levels are professionally
Music/Sound (10/10):
8522 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This Final Fight wannabe is of the lowest quality -- graphically and otherwise -- out of the three Streets of Rage games that were made for the Genesis, but it still has stout gameplay. You play a white guy, a black guy, or a woman--depending upon which character you can identify with. The object is the same as it is for any such game: beat the crap out of the same three or four enemies that come at you without end, pick up steel pipes to bash opponents, and eat food out of garbage cans to regain your strength. Finally, meet a tough boss at the end of each stage. Rinse and repeat. Overall, an enjoyable yet somewhat repetitive game.
6222 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great condition! Works as expected. All productivity has now been lost to Mario Kart.
I grew up on a steady diet of Sega Genesis games then I went to the N64 and my love of all things Mario.
Now there are a few flaws. Sometimes the control in the game is pretty bad and the camera doesn't always go where you want it to go. My least favorite campaign is Big the Cat's because it focuses less on action and focuses on fishing.
Ripping through the jungle in your jeep.. OHHH sheeet. to fast. You ditch it into a pond. There is one less jeep you can drive.
7142 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Collectibles, collectibles, collectibles. This game is all about collecting stuff. It's very different from past Donkey Kong games. No more are the pleasant side-scrolling levels of DK Island. This game almost feels like it should have been a Banjo-Kazooie game. A solid platformer with a killer introduction rap song keeps this game out of the fire.
South Pacific Islands:
After playing through the game a bit, you will start to realize that after the fun action stages, you will begin a squence of boring and annoying cut-scenes (that you can't skip) that will drive you mad. Most of them involve sonic and Robotnik threatening each other, or just characters talking. Also, the characters will pause between almost every sentence. It takes forever for them to finish what they are saying, and you won't really care most of the time. Boring. If you make it through the cut-scenes, then you wander through the adventure stages, looking for the next action stage. Mainly by going to a red hint sphere that will say something like "Have you searched the entire adventure stage yet?"
Please-buy this game if you have a computer-it is absolutly necessary to have this work of art on you hard drive-you will never take it off.
2404 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Of course anyone who owns an N64 wants an epic Star Wars game mixed with the sheer speed of Mario Kart, and this game is the baby from both Lucasarts and Nintendo's endeavors. With the Expansion Pak, Graphics look well rounded and nice to look at, and the track selections throughout the game bring that nostalgic feeling back into the air as you relive your fantasy of being a space cowboy wielding a lightsaber. Perfect for any hardcore race fan or Star Wars geek!
Crazing/Stretching- This tends to be very similar. Various walls or architecture seems to twist or stretch into bizarre angles. If you have the game drive the car directly up against a vertical wall and you'll see it. The level with the lighthouse is a prime example.
My favourite thing to do in any match, is kill off the enemy. I just love destroying everything! I'm not happy unless everything is destroyed.
Let's start with the story itself. For me it's the greatest. While it remained simple, it still manages to maintain very well entertained and makes you keep wondering what's gonna happen next. The game start off with an awesome (back then the graphics were awesome) opening/intro where you see pretty much the zombies kicking some soldiers ' ass (or eating) and completely overwhelming the humans trying to stop them. the police an special forces are killed by the zombie army. This leaves the Raccoon City's last hope completely defeated.
BAD:
I also dislike how many of the classic enemies aren't included here such as the hammer brothers, buzzy beetles, bloopers, and cheep cheeps. Even the koopa troopa is nowhere to be seen (well, other than that one race in the beginning). You can ride a koopa shell like a skateboard but that doesn't count as an enemy appearance. He's not a true enemy here. Why is that? Why not include all the familiar and well-loved enemies that have become a trademark to the Mario series? They ruin the pirahna plants by the way. Why is he sleeping? Granted he comes alive when you get near, but it's a really weird concept. At least Nintendo got the boos and haunted house right- a surprising and exciting maze-like high point of the game. It's a lot of fun sorting through each room of the haunted house stages. *That's* how you design a memorable stage. Obviously if you weren't busy running around through several vast and average-designed empty fields of grass, there could have EASILY been room for the inclusion of more enemies. Hey I'm all for open world exploration, but you have to actually fill in those areas with exciting, creative items that are both fun and rewarding to collect for the player, and enemies that present threatening encounters and a rush of excitement. Simply throwing Mario into a big 3D world because it's his first grand 3D adventure truthfully isn't going to get the job done I'm afraid. More needs to be done.
5-Ice cap 90%
FF 5 was a real surprise, and it was great to play a brand new old style FF, never before released in the US. Lots of the reviews on Amazon say that it is really a sub-par game. I have to say I strongly disagree...I think its a great FF game. If you enjoyed FF 4 and 6, I think you'll definitely like 5. The graphics and sound are similar to FF 4. The gameplay is what makes the game so good though. You can switch your characters between the variety of job classes like in FF Tactics or FF X-2, and learn a large variety of different skills, then mix and match them. It's a very primitive form of the job class system, sure, but it's still really cool, considering the age of the game. I also really enjoyed the story of the game...it was about as good as FF 4. Theres a part where you're navigating through a graveyard of pirate ships infested with ghosts and zombies that is totally classic. I would definitely recommend giving FF 5 a chance. It is old and outdated, but definitely lives up to the quality of the FF series.
3807 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 On a scale of 1-10 the graphics in this game are a 10. As for the AI- its a 1.they can't figure out how to go around any obstacles. There are only 20 missions-I beat the entire game in 2 nights. Its a lot of fun though. There is a trade-off between fun and frustrating. You will probably play this game for a long time and i reccomend getting it.
7546 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fun game for a fun old console
The most fun you will have playing this game is trying to get a higher "percentage" of the game complete by uncovering other parts of the map: a feature Castlevania developers have used in almost every game since SOTN. You saw it here first. After completing the first part of the game, you are thrown a curveball: the upside-down castle. SOTN was so revolutionary in its level design, yet it feels so natural to play. It is the most polished 2D game ever made.
6904 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game that somewhat follows the Disney's Aladdin movie story line. Challenging levels and pretty good graphic for its time.
I can't think of anything else to put! Just get Sonic Heroes when it comes out cuz IT'TL ROCK!
A comparison with STP is useful here: In STP I would repeatedly find some little detail and think "Well, that was cool." The artistry of that game is elaborate--but inside of a week or two of fairly casual play, I had seen all there was to see. In RCT, though, the sensation one has is of actually making a park his own, as opposed to just arranging elements that an artist has given him. (You're still arranging someone else's artwork in RCT, but the pieces are small enough tht it doesn't feel that way.)
-Back then and even today it is still one of the best looking video games ever made
1759 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is where the epic Resident Evil series began. The first adventure see's you tackle zombies, snakes and dogs in a deserted mansion, which is very atmospheric. Don't be put off by the relatively poor voice acting and cut scenes, bear in mind that this was made in 1995/1996 and so for the times it's pretty good. This is a classic game that spawned one of the best series' of games on the Playstation. The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star game is the slighty disapointing ending. But this is only a minor flaw, and this is still one of the best games on the Playstation.

Yoshi is also famous for eating. Strangely enough, Mario must punch Yoshi in the back of the head before Yoshi sticks out his tongue, looking for goodies.
One of the most influential games ever made.
681 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Possibly the most original game idea in the history of adventure games, _Grim Fandango_ has a charm which is all in the execution. This is as close to being in a movie as the adventure game genre has yet allowed. Blending the tradition of Mexican folklore with the suave of sixties' beat culture and the style of _The Big Combo_, _Fandango_ is a sensory explosion. Somewhat courageously, it does *not* attempt to make its graphics realistic. Rather, it searches successfully to use its medium to best effect. Like the best films, _Fandango_ manipulates its elements to produce a world unto itself. Its first-rate direction and hitherto unique-to-adventure-games 3D technology points the way forward for the adventure games.
The Ups: Great models, story, weapons, and over all game play. This is the first single player game since Half-Life that I have played all the way through.
2147 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great. Would buy another from here if i ever needed it.

3758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sonic Adventure is not only the best 3D Sonic game ever...but it's also one of the Best Dreamcast games ever.
1544 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I picked this up the other day. It only took a few hours to finish the 1-player mode, but I suppose the fact that I'd previously played BattleTanx: Global Assault on PS1 helped me out a little.
First off, the graphics are beautiful, and just the fact that the color scheme is more than just buffalo chip brown makes a big difference. All of the light variants, wall textures, skins, explosions, and background textures make the revamed Unreal engine look like gods paintbrush. In my opinion, the quake engine is dying, no matter how much they revamp it, and in this case, way too goth and way too dark to see any of the other players.
Yuffie: Was the lolita ninja a trope before this girl?
It not only redefined the Mario Franchise. it redefined 3D gaming.
2542 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original Super Mario Brothers came out about the same time that I was born, and I think today its aged better than I have. Having not played the game in years, I was craving some Mario and decided to dust Super Mario Bros. Deluxe off; I'm glad that I did. I forgot not only how well this game transitions to the small screen, but just how many features Nintendo managed to cram into the game. There is huge replay value to be had here, which comes in the form of an additional full game, side challenges, and other minigames. While the original Super Mario Bros. was pretty challenging, the developers have added a save anytime and endless continues to ease the frustration level of the player. The only demerit the game gets from me is the fact that the whole game doesn't fit on the screen, so you have to move up and down accordingly, which caused me to lose a couple lives because of an enemy that I couldn't originally see on the screen. I don't need to write up anything about the gameplay, chances are you've played a side-scrolling Mario game at some point of your life. If you haven't, stop reading this and go play right now. Otherwise, this game is perfect for those craving a little old school Mario Brothers action.

Depending on what tune you play, the ocarina will turn night in to day, make it rain, open secret doors, or make blocks disappear, amoung other things. This adds an important layer to the game, for you have to use your brain in order to work out which song is necessary to progress. For instance, after spending hours wondering what to do, the idea could suddenly hit you, "Should I play Zelda's Lullaby in front of the waterfall?" If successful, the waterfall will stop and a passageway will display itself, thus giving you a tremendous satisfied feeling. The actual songs you learn in the game are some of the best songs in computer game history. In fact, only Computer World by Kraftswerk can compare to the greatness of the music in OOT.
5395 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 a classic video game of destruction. the goal is to simply defeat the other two opponents this game is fun i forget if it is a 2 player game or not.
It's very anoying to have only the option to use U/D/L/R to moove in the game. No joistick(L3) use at all.
5101 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have always been a Die-Hard MGS fan so I had to buy this game. It was very appealing at first beacuse the missions deliver a proffesional touch to your/snakes abilities. The proves to be challenging and requires a quick tactical sort of brain.
2345 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In 1998, Nintendo took the world by storm by releasing Pokemon, the red version. Since then, gaming has changed forever and Nintendo established a franchise that would entertain generations to come. It all started with Pokemon red. Play with your friends and experience the battle yourself.
5210 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got a good deal on this game. I purchased it ... at a local retailer and the thought 'if it sucks i'm not out much' went through my mind. I brought it home and installed it not expecting much out of this game. Once I started playing though I was blown away. This is a great game in the spirit of Diablo 2 and Nox. You start out as a revenant, a resurrected spirit with no recollection of your past. You must fight an evil cult and rescue the king's daughter, at least I think he was a king, i didn't really pay much attention because the dialogue is annoying in this game.
To recap, If you want the game to run smoothly, you should atleast have a 300mhz PII system with atleast 32mb of ram and I would recommend getting some kind of video accelerator card (if you don't already have one, and if your serious about performance). If you just want to play and don't really care about the slow speed, go with Microsoft's recommendation about having a 166mhz processor system or higher. It will be very slow but will work.
3429 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Still works
Level design--this is an amazing part; there is so much diversity of stages in the game, it's not even funny. There are carnival stages where you're on a roller coaster trying to dodge closing gates, there is a giant haunted mansion where fifty-foot ghosts chase you down while you're driving a rusty old minecart, and there are levels in which you are underwater. Did you think there were only these level types? Guess again: pirate ships, ship sails, lava, boiling water levels, giant towers with toxic water following you up, sunken sea ships, forests of thorn bushes, etc. I could go on and on.
5169 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game felt like a movie when I first played it years ago. It does make a case for one of the best video games of all time. The acting, voice acting, combat, STEALTH, story, cut scenes are truly amazing. Very cinematic feel to the whole game.. Revolutionized gaming considering it came out over a decade ago.
2751 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 When I heard Nintendo was coming out with superman I got all excited, then they delayed the release date, which usually means the game is going under even more improvements. When I bought Superman I sped all the way home, turned off my phone and sat in my chair. To my suprise, this game is not worth the plastic it's made of. I don't even have one good thing to say about it. I was extremely disappointed. Superman used to be cool.
MORE GOOD:
You shoot through walls, Guid Rockets by remote and cloak yourself to slip by unnoticed...Thats awesome...
I live in a medium-sized Midwest metro and NONE of the retro gaming stores have even seen Dreamcast controller extension cords in years (or so they say). I love retro gaming and the Dreamcast is the perfect all-in-one console for a clean entertainment unit because of it's emulation capabilities without having to mod the console. This extension cable is a Godsend for the pathetically short cable for the Dreamcast controller.
Still, on the whole I enjoyed it.
You begin playing as Spidey (but can later change to Venom if you wish) and you go about tiresome duties beating up generic thugs on the streets of Manhattan. Every thug looks the same and you'll end up punching to death the same guy a billion times (more so for those infuriating end of level bosses). The crap music is the same on every level. Apparently the game has 'additional music' by some band called Green Jelly, who I have never heard of. I assume they must be some none-hit wonder grunge band from Seattle back when all that was new. And quite what exactly they contributed to the game is a mystery as there are only 2 tracks in total (level music and boss music).
9988 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is fun and easily beatable first time around. So if you're looking for something to beat and take time doing so, I highly recomend this one. I personally like it very much.
This was a game where players could get legitimately competitive. Constantly trying to one-up a friend by executing a tough 9 or 10 hit combo could become very intense, and nothing spelled out ownage quite like executing an Ultra combo on a friend.
3522 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Although I most confess that I did enjoy this game at first (At first, meaning from beginning to end), I was happy with big areas to explore, and really enjoyed the Nemesis (although it was no more different that that bald stalking guy of the inverted RE2) hunting you down, I most say this game is a fraud in what concerns story line structure, which on its own right, is the main mover of any story-based game.
5686 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This was always bound to be a great title, the Quake name is like a way of printing money! but this time I am just not buying it! I don't have a very high spec PC and Quake 3 just runs like a dog! (it's a AMD K6-2 350 with 128Mb of RAM and an ATI Rage Magnum with 32Mb) my message to people out there with this spec of PC or below, don't bother with Q3, there is a very good alternative "Unreal Tournement" it's a brilliant title that runs sweet on my machine in 800x600 in 32 BIT colours (colors!). In summery Q3 Great title, but you will need an ass kicking spec.
All I can say is that this game deserves at least 9.0/10 overall. With that said, I cannot understand why Jeff Gerstmann decided to give it a score lower than that. I consider this one of the best games I've ever played, and is even better than some of the newer games I've played (Gears of War and CoD4 have nothing on this game). This game is even better than MGS2 (even though MGS2 is a fantastic game in its own right, I give MGS2 a 9.6/10), and I'm currently looking forward to playing MGS3 (I'm planning to get a PS2 soon. The only systems I currently own are a PlayStation 1 and a high-end PC). MGS1 is 10 hours of pure gaming bliss!
I hope Square Enix believes FFXV is a better game than VII so that it can finally be remade in HD. FFVII is a classic. Good luck trying to "beat" it. *crosses fingers*
that is just to name a few, and it is more amazing considering that the Dreamcast received such little third party support. It just goes to show that if you don't get support from EA, and their rubbish sport games, which just have a new number on the end every year, then a console can't suceed, sad but true.
7792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an original masterpeice. It has a large variety of both characters to race with and courses. The graphics are great for such an old game. This is a must have for N64! Especially if you love Diddy Kong.
6971 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As you can see, YES I AM A MORTAL KOMBAT FAN. I used to obsess over everything that was Mortal Kombat:
Super Smash Bros.
9511 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a really nice idea but it's not nice enough. The only problem is that it blocks the screen. It has really nice lighting.
3911 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I can't play this because the system requirements are older than my system. I did not notice the requirements until I had bought it and tried to play it. I wish there was a Game of Life on CD that was compatible with Windows 7.
9700 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Caesar series of games by Sierra have yet to let me down. This is another great edition. Your cities are beautifully rendered now with improved graphics. You will also find walkers moving about your city which you click on to get interesting feedback about the status of your city. You will build legions and other military troops to defend your city and go on campaign at the request of Caesar. The trade mechanics have been improved as well making it easier to trade and track what is being traded and your trade deficit or surplus.
-SUPER SONIC!! Okay, so even if this idea is somewhat ripped off from the Super Saiyan of Dragon Ball Z, it's still awesome to be able to transform into this fiery yellow, superfast, invincible flying blur once you've obtained all the chaos emeralds.
Unless you live and breathe video games and you find ninety-nine percent of all games too easy, stick to another game. I cannot stress this enough! It is nearly impossible to complete for any normal person!
5514 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Don't buy this game. I've been playing it recently, and although the graphics and gameplay aren't bad, everything else is, especially the cameras. When you're playing, the automatic camera angles are horrible, and I find myself often readjusting them manualy. It becomes almost impossible to fight more than two other men at the same time without dying, because you need to see them to shoot them, and therefore have to readjust the cameras; two shots later and I'm dead. Quite frustrating. Also, the game only has 4 guns, a pistol with unlimited ammo, and shotgun with little ammo, a automatic but not very powerful rifle with limited ammo, and a rocket launcher, with only four rockets. There is also C4 explosives. This does not make for very fun gameplay. If I were you, I would put your money towards another first person shooter, such as GoldenEye 007 or something newer.
If you've played either Space Quest, or Police Quest... you'll get an instant feel for this one!
8673 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great game I'm not only a Mario Bros. fan i also like playing Sonic games and this game is a awesome child hood game that i loved playing.
As other have said, the packaging is wonderful. The treasure chest box is better quality than I had anticipated and the gold, metal etched bookmark is gorgeous! The actual shipping packaging was great, as well - very well protected with lots of foam so it arrived in pristine shape.
As far as difficulty goes, this Metroid game is REALLY easy compared to the original NES one and the newer Metroid Prime. It's about the same as Metroid Fusion, meaning that if you know how to take on something you'll undoubtably come out of nearly every confrontation without a scratch.
The game is for a very mature crowd though. I'm not saying a younger crowd couldn't enjoy it but the subjects the touch on in about the last 15 minutes of the game might not mean a whole lot to, say, a 10 year old.
I am ashamed to call this a GTA game or even a product from Rockstar.
- Hundreds of different enemies to battle
4527 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of a finger-ful of first-person-shooters that actually tries something new, 'Aliens Vs Predator' is fantastic for as long as it lasts, which unfortunately isn't all that long. Splitting the game into Marine, Alien and Predator phases ensures great variety, but you feel that you're playing three short games instead of one long one. Still, it's worth the price for the Alien segments alone. Whilst the Marine stages are superior shoot-em-up action with an extremely scary atmosphere, and the Predator section seems oddly detatched (we never learn enough about the creature in the films to care much, although the execution of his multiple vision modes is superb), the Alien sections could be a game in themselves. Treating ceilings and walls as if they were floors, as the Alien you have to keep yourself hidden, and restrict your combat to quick darts from the shadows. The feeling of power, as you cling to a roof high above your blinded, blundering victim-to-be, is addictive, and soon you'll be disappointed that people don't scream in horror when you approach them in real life.
- Two player mode will keep you entertained for years!
1171 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have played all the other Zelda Series Games and this is the best. I first heard of this game when I borrowed it from a friend. I played it nonstop, until I beat the game. The only hard part about it is the dreaded Water Temple. It is the only actual hard one, but don't get me wrong the rest of the dungeons are equally difficult. Even the first level is as difficult because you have only your sword, shield and wits. But as you progress you gain pieces of hearts, weapons, swords, shields, and other tools. The graphics are really cool, the sound could be just a tad better, and the fun is the best. The only bad part is you can't unfreeze Zora's Domain and get the Triforce, or Miyamoto says. Well if you liked the other Zelda games, this is a must have. If you never have played a Zelda game get a life!
4746 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THIS IS PERHAPS THE BEST CASTLEVANIA GAME EVER MADE! I REMEMBER PURCHASING THIS GAME WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT ABOUT 9YRS AGO AND I HAVE TO ADMIT, THIS WAS VIDEO GAME CRACK FOR ME. THE MOMENT I STARTED PLAYING IT I JUST COULD NOT STOP PLAYING IT. ONE FRIDAY NIGHT I STARTED PLAYING IT AROUND 6PM AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL 5 AM ON SATURDAY MORNING, TOOK ABOUT A 4 HR BREAK AND THEN I WAS UP AGAIN PLAYING THIS GAME UNTIL I FINALLY FINISHED IT THAT SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
Difficulty:!@#$% (Platinum RELICS)
6329 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this is a very fun console,although the system is outdated the games are still really fun.the really good games are nintendo made like super mario 64 or paper mario.
Play Control: 10/10
This game is just as fun as the first one. It brought me back to a time where video games concentrated more on gameplay and content rather than graphics which games today seem to concentrate almost too much on. The controls are spot on. You can build momentum for jumps, move in any direction, and really I never had problems with the controls even in the first Crash. One thing I REALLY love about this one is that I don't feel bad when I die! This game has some really interesting death scenes rather you're forcibly kissed by a frog that changes into a prince, eaten by lions, thrown into the screen by a two-headed fat person, or so on. When I finish the game I plan on seeing how many ways I can die:) Some worlds replicate each other but are harder and take more and more skill to get through. The boss battles are really diverse and take strategy, timing, and skill to get rid of. I must confess I found the first boss and 2 worlds extremely easy. Its not until the 3 that the game just goes "F*** this! I'm gonna make your time a living hell"! Its still way easy so far compared to the first game though which really did what I said above. I also noticed something that first caught my attention in Wrath of Cortex. The game seems extremely open when it comes to lives. Seriously I'm not even half way through the game and all ready up to 50 almost. I guess I'm that good at playing. Im definately buying the second one.
Difficulty: 10.0/10.0 This game is HARD! I beat it barely without a strategy guide, and you can be stuck on levels like the Forest Temple and the freaking Water Temple for MONTHS. If you beat the game with a strategy guide, you take the challenge and fun out of it. You also won't have many broken items, like controllers or TV's.
2) Included map editor unreliable and hard to use
2564 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 uy itI loooooooove this game! I was thinking no it would be a baaaaad game. But I played it and I banged my head against the wall 15 times in a row! Anyway it is a fun game! Buy it!
The 2-Player Battle Mode is where you and your friend pit against each other and throw random kinds of stuff at each other until one of you lose.
2291 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Thx man very fun but difficult
Let's face it, these three games are some of the best NES games ever made. Sure, they're hard but you know what? These were made back in the day when NINTENDO GAMES KICKED YOUR [...] AND MADE YOU LOVE THEM. Ninja Gaiden was no exception, and it ranks as one of the best NES games ever. To have it along with its sequels onto one cartridge (and improved) is awesome, pure and simple.
This little immersive scenario is courtesy of the game allowing you to take the role of pilot of your plane or squadron leader in charge of 12 planes or group commander. As group CO you pick the targets, plan the missions, select bomb loads and assign crews. You can also name crews. There is an operations room where pre flight recon and post op damage assessment film can be studied. Your B-17 is beautifully depicted. You can name her as you wish and change the nose art. Let's get ready to take her up on the first of 25 historically based missions where we will come across other flyable planes. Three 'little friends' - Mustang, Thunderbolt and Lightning and three German fighters - Me 109, FW 190 and the deadly Me 262.

All these games people criticize today for being old and unplayable such as the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series... give me a *break*. You have to give these kind of games a chance so your brain and fingers can learn to adjust to the way they play, and I *promise* you'll learn to find that moving your character around is very easy. It's all about giving things a chance and taking the time to understand the way they are.
3460 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast has a negative connotation of being a "medicore" system from its short life span, but you shouldn't let that stop you from purchasing one. There are plenty of great games that are actually worth buying, unlike its predecessor, the Sega Saturn. The Saturn is still a good system, but great games on it can cost $70 upwards such as Magic Knight Rayearth, Albert Odyssey, or the infamously priced Panzer Dragoon Saga that goes at a whopping $400! There are excellent titles on this system such as Sonic Adventure 1-2, Evolution 1-2, Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia, and quite a few more. Sure, it was not able to compete with the Gamecube, Xbox and PS2, due to financial trouble on Sega's part from poor sales of its predecessors, but is a plethora of great games worth playing on this system, and they are reasonably priced, since they had good print runs, despite the system itself being short-lived. The VMU was quite innovative for its time, considering that it can tell you many different things, such as the character's status, the amount of time spent on a particular game, and so on so forth. Though its life span was very short, much was accomplished in such a short amount of time, releasing games that were quite ahead of its time as they always had. Though this console never had the same level of success as its competitors, its worth picking up for its price, as it still has quite a bit to offer.

This was the sort of reaction many long-term series fans gave Konami circa 1997-1998, when they first attempted to bring the Castlevania series into a 3D world on the N64. It wasn't a much better reception a few years later either when Lament Of Innocence & Curse Of Darkness both arrived on the PS2. Even though the rest of the world opted to go into 3D gaming because it was "the cool new thing" back in the 90s, few companies such as Konami & Capcom stuck to their guns and kept pumping out some amazing new (new at the time) 32-bit generation 2D titles... and the mighty Symphony Of The Night stood as the proud flagship and proof that 2D gaming is here to stay, no matter what the trends are.
Do I recommend Final Doom for PS1? Yes, I do. So order it now while supplies last, or be "doomed" forever!
This can take a bit to get used to, as it can be boring for the single player. If you have a will and a friend however, this game will surely be worth it.

4344 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Over the last 10 years that I first installed STARCRAFT I have replayed it countless of times. Every time a new overhyped game disappoints me, this is one of the games I pull out of my library to be reminded what a GREAT PC GAME LOOKS & PLAYS LIKE! (others include UNREAL, BALDUR's GATE, GRIM FANTANGO and SHOGUN:TOTAL WAR)

"enemy" quickly, this is probably not for you.
The characters are well-played and each have their own unique personalities. Squall is the loner with a hidden strength; Selphie is a happy-go-lucky flower child; Rinoa is a strong and determined fighter; Irvine is a jokester; Quistis is serious and calculated; and Zell never shuts up.
9108 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.
I give it a 5 out of 5 stars!!

8475 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This is one of the worst RPG's ever in existance. Besides being easy, it also has an unoriginal plot and crap graphics. I think the Atari 2600's system is more advanced than this game. I mean, what's an RPG without scantly clad women? This RPG has none, except for a princess who is as clothed as a fememist is. And Mallow and Geno are loaded with fail, and I don't see why people want them in Smash Brothers, which is a crap game as well. The plot tries to be all original by not centering on Bowser kidnapping and raping Peach, who is called Toadstool for whatever reason, but on some character named Smithy who is trying to take over the world by getting stars. Whatever. And the battle system is awful as well. I mean, timed hits?
Applied the latest patch (v1.06) to correct allot of the bugs and CTD, and still have the above problems.
The gameplay. If you have never played a Kirby game before let me explain the basics of most Kirby games. In most games you control a pink little ball that can steal the enemies power ups or use the enemies as ammo. In this game you can still use the enemies as ammo but you can not steal their abilities. You can jump for as long as the heart desires by gasping in a breath of air. All the enemies are silly and the bosses are quite easy and have a pattern to them. That is one flaw to this game. It's easy. you can beat it in one sitting. This might be one of the easiest games that has a famous Nintendo protagonist is it. But it is entertaining and worth the price of admission.
assume was a semi-rushed localization and not the result of an error on the creator's behalf.
4288 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was so excited about this game that I played it for 15 hours straight... and completede it. The game is great and tons of fun, but it's just to easy. The enemy AI is too predictable, and it's all too easy to win the battles. But if you want the greatst grafics ever on a PC, buy this game.
3277 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 OK, I'll admit, when I first saw that Sega was going to take over the production part of the game, I hesistated. Being a fan of the Resident Evil series, I thought that it should've stayed with Sony. All of the games on Sony (except for the...Survivor shooting game) were awesome, bringing me to new levels of terror and fear. Code Veronica, however, surpasses them all to the point where you will have nightmares.

Granted yes, this game was released when Shaquille was really, really big in the mainstream, but after this game, notice how things started to go bad for him. After all, he did KA-ZAAM. But anyway, the controls are bad, the graphics are bad, fights are really predictable (ex: you know what the computer is going to do) and all in all not a fun game.
9808 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While it's not as up to Silent hill, Resident Evil2 is the best original re game you will ever play. The puzzles aren't insanley hard, better camera angles,animations and audio. You play as Leon S. Kennedy soon to be a government agent six years later in RE4, but now you are a rookie cop involved with the viral outbreak in Raccoon City. You will meet Claire Redfield, the sister of Chris from the original Resident Evil. You can play as either of them. But the best thing is you know how to shake off zombies. And svarier than the uncut RE. And in this Resident Evils Rookie mode, you get a Rocket Launcher,Minigun,

9896 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i'm sure by now you know the sonic 3 splitup thing which i din't like. but maby this isn't too bad. i see some benifets in the sonic 3 & knuckles split. #1, sonic and knckles has a blue sphere mini game buildt in. #2, if sonic 3 and knuckles were 1 game, they may have used the sonic 3 theme and knuckles theme insted of the sonic and kuckles theme and knuckles theme which are way better, but it's not that big of deal. #3, you can play as knuckles in sonic 2 wich is enjoyable. #4, you for the first time ever see super tails if you connect sonic 3 to it. the only bad thing i can say really is if you have sonic 3 & kuckles connected to a game genie, it as tall as a building. and i can't imagine how tall it would be if you have a 32x on your genesis with sonic 3 and knuckles and a game genie in the slot. sonic and knuckles also for some reason has no save slots if sonic 3 isn't hooked up. but other than that, it's a great game. do not hesitate to buy it
There is also a move I love to do that is not programmed into this game. At first I thought it was a glitch on the SNES version, but I can execute the same move on the Arcade machine. It's a move Razor Ramon does where you tie-up with your opponent (F-F-Triangle), you then hold the down direction and tap square about 4 times then hit Trinagle and Razor will stop the multiple swiping, grab the opponents and do a pile driver that flies sky high into the air. It's a cool move to do, but it's not present on the PS version. Shame.

This game blows! It's just like NFL QB Club except for basketball, an NBA 2KX wannabe!
7245 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really like this game. The deathmatch has had me coming back for more, and I thought that I would never EVER quit the single player mode. (I can still hear my friends yelling at me to get the hell to the deathmatch, or they were going to hit me with a chair. they did too.) Even though the sixty-four is sinking like the titanic, It has a library of awesome games. Including this one. Buy This one off this site. It is only Twenty Bucks! trust me, that is a deal! Buy it today.
The thing I was dissapointed in was the roster. You can only have human characters, the ninja class no longer exists (I love ninjas), and you can't change your current pary (like in all the previous MM titles). Other than that it's very fun to play for hours.

9901 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Golden Axe II is a great game for multiplayer fun. It is improved from the original in several ways including being able to attack both behind and in front of the player with one move. The graphics are a lot better and the attack range has improved. The there is a more variety of enemies with varying difficulties and better stage layout. It's not as easy to fall to your death accidentally in this game. The life bar takes more damage to go down than in the orignal as well. The powers can be used at different levels depending on how the player wants it. In the original, when you use the magic, it was all used up.
Really though, this is THE fighter for Genesis. The game has four different characters, Max the wrestler who is slow but very powerful, Skate the little kid who is fast, Adam ex-cop who is in the middle towards strength, and Blaze (the aforementioned hottie) ex-cop who is middle of the road leaning towards speed. I generally played as her because she was fast enough to avoid enemies while being stronger than Skate.
1102 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've beaten the game 20 times and I'm still not bored of playing it. If you haven't played this game then PLAY IT!!!!!!! you won't be sorry you did. This is much better than all the other FINAL FANTASY and rpg crap out there.
9772 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best RE games in my opinion. Great soundtrack with realistic sounding effects. Controls could have been a little better but the dual shock version does improve upon the controls a little. I would like to see an HD remaster of this game come out for modern consoles. I might buy the Resident Evil HD remaster soon. Highly recommend fans of survival horror get this game any way you can original PS1 disc or legal digital download through PSN.
KI is a keeper. I'd get it while you can. If it's still not for you, than maybe the Street Fighter ot MK series is for you.
7016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game arrived in great condition and working great. I love this game. Very fun and long lasting fun at that. Am very satisfied with my purchase. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a N64.
4357 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A police officer I knew got me into this game. I didn't think much of it because it was essentially the same game design as the venerable DUNE and War Craft games. One Age of Empires, as originally designed, was never meant to be the huge slug fest that it ultimately turned into. The icons on the map were meant to be just that; icons representing single armies. But the players demanded more, and a patch was released allowing multiple units to be manifested on the map. Result, that icon that was supposed to represent an army suddenly became a single unit in the army.
-Involving storyline
that some music didn't play in the game, but all in all it is something that I can
Back in the day Nintendo wanted another fun multiplayer game to create that doesn't exactly involve racing and thus the first of many Mario Party games was created. Let's see how they did in this new evolution to one of the most influential franchises in gaming.
2645 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this color, Teal, because I liked teal very much. Other than that, this console has improved on its graphics! On games like Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Pokemon Gold and Silver, the graphics are much better! Also, there is a ample amount of color that your eyes can feast on. Now if you have game boy Pocket and Regular game boy and you're playing Pokemon [It doesn't matter which one], you will notice that when you walk around in Pocket, It's very blurry. Well this fault has ben fixed in GameBoy Color. It's extremely helpful because it enables you to see more detail and little things that you couldn't see before. I also have some regular gameboy games that aren't for game boy color and if you play them on GameBoy color, they show little color, but no blurryness. Now make sure you read what the box says when you are buying a gameboy color game. There are two types, there is one that says FOR GAMEBOY COLOR ONLY, which you can't use on the other gameboys. The second type just says that it's for gameboy color. Those you can play on the regular gameboys. It won't show any color but at least you can play it. There are a couple faults for the gameboy color. One of which is that the console is too small [for me I have big fingers so it's hard for a grown up kid]. A second fault is that the batterys run out faster than the Original GameBoy [The gameboy pocket battery use is outrageous! I played the gameboy pocket for 2 hours straight and the batterys were already starting to run out.]. The original gameboy lasted me up to 23 hours! This only lastes me for about 12. Well I can see why because of all the good color and good graphics. So my point is that this color gameboy, teal, is a good color to get [if you like it]. The console is worth the money too. It all combines. The color, graphics, games, to make a great system!
What more do you want?
3627 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, so you've heard SEGA has ceased its Dreamcast production. You're probably discouraged from buying the DC because you are afraid that there won't be any new games to play in the future. If you think that, you're wrong. Sega's announcement on their permanent halt to producing more DC consoles have actually helped us customers. Most important, the console price dropped ...--quite affordable to almost everyone.
- The buttons are laid out *perfectly* on the Playstation controller. The target button is really easy to use. You can use the directional pad to move it around and locate the enemy. It never fails. The shoot button works great. The jump and duck buttons work great. EVERYTHING works great! When you aim at something before shooting, it actually works. It's amazing how many games get this wrong and the whole experience is ruined. The play control is a major improvement compared to Syphon Filter, for example. In that game, it felt like I was awkwardly walking or sliding all over the place.
6535 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These are some of my favorite games. I'm happy to add it to the collection and look foreward to playing it again.
Buy and enjoy!
Finally you reach and meet Sepiroth, and his many forms. The game is very rewarding to play, even though its graphics have been surpassed by later versions of Final Fantasy.
So my stance remained firm that Super Mario World for the SNES is perhaps the best game for the SNES, and certainly one of the best family games of all time.
If you still ever play this game, it is a great game, it's 5 stars, provided your into this sort of thing.
BOY am I glad I never bought any of these games (all these years I've been watching OTHER people play them). Reading reviews for the more recent Tomb Raider games on the Playstation 2, I see NO improvements have been made. Let the series END already.
5257 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A friend let me borrow the game and I was amazed. I requires a heck of a lot of strategy. I am still waiting for a game like this for my PS2. This is the only game that got me away from play Madden 2001. Basically you go threw a bunch of missions so you can destroy metal gear, which is a nuclear weapon. The game not only includes killing and adventure, but also tries to teach you about the nuclear weapons and power. I think getting this game for ... is a steal. If you have never played it definitely buy it and play it on normal or hard mode. It will waste the adventure to play it on easy. It took me around a month to beat, playing it about 2 hours a day. Only negative is that there is a lot of talking in the game.
There is an excellent strategy guide available for it (The Official Nintendo Power one)
gamers, and there are plenty of environmental varieties such as an ice lake, a desert, forest, and a steppe. Aside from the controls
For starters, the graphics are VASTLY superior to the first-generation visuals of the previous game. The character models are much more detailed, the still-screen environments are more vibrant (but dark and pale enough to convey the game's atmosphere), and the crappy B-movie quality intro of the original is gone in place of excellent CG movies. The characters and monsters, while still somewhat blocky, are all brought to life much better now with numerous animations, such as head tracking, and physical gestures during cutscenes. Also, when your character takes damage, you can now tell how hurt they are by the way they walk. If they hold onto their side and limp on one foot, you know that they're close to death. In addition, the newer game engine allows many more creatures to be in the area at one time, like when you stumble into a room with 7 zombies.
9517 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Battletoads in Battlemaniacs was an extremely difficult game (ex: the Cool Boarders level, the Snake Board and the Rocket Rollercoaster level). Seriously, when I first started this game, a couple of parts were nearly impossible. What made it worse was that there was nothing you could do about it besides get better and let's face it, that should be the payoff from playing most video games right?
I won't rehash everything about the game, but I believe it is important to try and recapture the feeling of the first time playing the game. It's pretty difficult to describe. The music is perfectly eery and sets the tone grandly with stringed arrangements you would hear in a suspenseful terror film. You walk around trying to find clues about what is going on in this strange mansion. Bizarre zombie creatures roam around desperately seeking to sink their teeth into your fresh blood, you try and find better guns to deal with these creatures, and you also try and find the keys to unlock the doors without knowing what terror lurks on the other side. On top of that, the seemingly haunted mansion has traps and strange puzzles that must be solved in order to continue finding your way closer to the end of the game, almost like a spooky mansion in a murder mystery. Horribly mutated dogs crash through windows when you least expect it, and the ammunition in the game is in a very limited supply, so you are forced to make snap decisions whether to stand and fight or run for safety. Scattered throughout the game are personal correspondence, diaries, and logs that reading will give you a clue to the ultimate mystery surrounding what the hell is going on.
i even had a gameshark for it that you plugged into the controller. i didn't per say like the controller to much (the xbox seems to have modified the sega's controller a lil' bit, especiall considering the fact that the original xbox had memory units you plugged into the controller itself just like the dreamcast controller) the visual memory unit was probaby the best and is still the best memory card ever made in my opinion on any system from any year. the fact you can save and still play those games on it that you save is just amazing. no system has done that before and to tell you the truth probably never will since they all seemed to use hard drives now.
Great extras for the DC version
490 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This takes back memories when I first played Tomb Raider. It's both chalenging and fun. Its remake is just added stuff and newly improved stages.

About these AIs. Their good. Especially they were using Team Sonic (after Lost Jungle Zone). Good AI. Their good (seriously).
-Pulls out emotions that you normally don't feel in games.(like remorse)
Well done.
Thoroughly recommended, this is another feather in Sega's cap and one of my personal favourite Sonic games to date. Enjoy!
Overall : It definitely lives up to Final Fantasy's reputation.
2472 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Okay there is only one bad thing about this game. So now there is meele and 25 characters! but there is only 12 in the other. I am best with Captin Falcon. I am worst at Pikachu. Please Please Please do not laugh at my reiview. I am only 9!
You lose CPs for not using what you've got, so basically it's like if you just sit around and not do anything, you would lose prestige points with your superiors. Achieve your goals and thus gain CPs.
92 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this microphone to further enhance my Rock Band experience. I was not disappointed. It kept in tune well (which was a problem I saw with other microphones) and was light enough to not be a burden of any kind. I don't mind that it is not wireless, since I wouldn't move around much anyways. Also, the fact that it doesn't have buttons didn't bother me, mainly because I don't mind using a controller to navigate. I do think it could have been packaged better, but I don't fault the microphone for it. Overall, a very simplistic, yet functional, design that works well.
1247 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I can't even begin to explain how much I love this game as well as the second Crash Bandicoot game(I haven't played the first game yet) because they are so much fun with lots and lots of humorous levels and disasters.
I just finished the second world, and this will probably end up being my least favorite of the DKC trilogy - Kiddy's mechanics are tough to grasp, but Dixie's are easy (I've already played DKC2 so I'm familiar with her). I'm not really fond of Ellie, I think she replaced Rambi (who I LOVE), but I see that Squawks, Squitter, and Enguarde are back from DKC2, so that's good. A slight pet peeve is that the barrel blasting sounds are different, noticeably longer. Also slightly peeved that the bees (I think they're called Buzzers?) have a different design, they look more mechanical.
It has over 40 weapons! Innovative Counter-Op Mode!

7112 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i became interested in this game when i heard about it from nintendo power years ago but i could never find it when i was little but after learning about it on amazon i found it even though it was in the age of wii and Wii U games i still found it enjoyable and i would recommend this for people who are a fan of these styles of games
8672 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great game. I was always more of a Mario guy, but still a classic. I bought this due to it being the only game my wife said she would play.... she didn't, but that didn't stop me
The graphics are decent, but there's nothing special about them. The world is in 3D and the camera can be rotated.
-Some will find the graphics to be "terrible" or just "bad" which I find hard to believe
The opportunity to make expensive powerful units like the mammoth tank.
673 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome
It's simple enough to pick up for anyone. 1 button for horizantal strikes, 1 for vertical strikes, 1 for kicks and 1 for blocking. But the strength likes in it's combo system. Even a newbie can get some combos by mashing buttons, but someone who knows what thier doing can wipe the floor with all challengers.
Seriously this game sucks, the graphics were great for the 16-BIT, the sound isn't all that bad, and that's were it stops. The gameplay is full of glitches and other issues. There is no blood, though you'll see a lot of sweat, maybe some tears, but no blood. You can't leave that out of the deal, also the game was just censored to death. The combination of the bad gameplay, and lack of originality that should have come from the arcades killed this version! I remember you could trip someone half way across the screen!? ;( Its just a dumb game.
2246 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great. No performance issues when compared to the official memory expansion pack. Easy install allowing for the use of games that take advantage of the increase in memory.
Whether you're a hardcore gamer or brand new to video games, this is a great game to get!
1275 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect.
8942 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rocked! It was great! Samus is back on the SNES with new weapons, new monsters, a totally new world, losts of strategy and hours ipon hours of fun with this one. Honestly, I could never find pars of this game that I didn't like because this is an all out great game.
Man, those were fun days.
The graphics are indeed stunning, but the beauty of Homeworld is GAMEPLAY. In a day when most RTS are rehashed Warcraft or C&C, Relic has created a game that truly feels like it's happening in space. Epic starship battles happen at your fingertips, and brilliant in-game cutscenes and plot twists help move the game along without a break in the immersion. This game was so awesome, I was too intimidated to play it when I first got it. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
One of the coolest aspects of this game is its characters. There is a huge variety to choose from, and each is played differently than the next. At the same time though, none of the characters really seem silly or out of place, except perhaps Rainbow Mika... That's a matter of opinion I guess.
You get frusterated when you lose, you realize this isn't some easy game you can breeze through, its actually difficult - appreciate that challenge because challenge is hard to come by in games these days.
Redefined everything after it.
1207 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm so glad I was able to buy this game at a great price. I really enjoyed reliving my childhood.

Oh, and for the biggest fans of this game out there who haven't played a hacked version you need to search them out stat. Most of them are very challenging (almost impossible) and it's fun as hell to play this game with completely different levels. It gives the game a refreshing new appeal. Search for Kamek's Revenge to find one example. And here's a dedicated forum for YI hacking: http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewforum&f=25
Nobody should be scared off from GPL because they think it too tough for their abilities. Simply increase the Global_Hype_Scaling in the drivers.ini file for all drivers and presto the opposition AI cars can go any speed you want. Slow them down to where you can outdrive them using your feet if for some strange reason you want to. Or make them go much faster than the game defaults to where nobody could ever beat even one of them unless the blow an engine. Or anything in between.
The positive.
I have also never played a video game with such an atmospheric and amazing musical score as well. It really brings out the atmosphere in this game. Whether you're in the jungle, deep in the caverns, or swimming with the fishes, there's always a suiting soundtrack to each level.
3951 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game was bought and rather farfetched. I hoped it would work and It doesn't play story mode at all. So I'm stuck in training mode and can only play the first training session. A shame.
2675 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Thin plastic kinda turned me off but the stick was fine not perfect but it's how all my old controllers used to be. Worn in, and all buttons are responsive
I don't get how everyone just seems to like UT.
7737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 works good
Just look at the difference between this game, and the original Super Mario Bros. for NES. My gosh, the difference is astounding. It's amazing how Nintendo could take something so great and make it hundreds of times better in less than two decades. Sometimes I love progress.
This was the first installment of the newly revived series and it was a MUST NEED and still is. I would definately recommend this series to anyone and for those of us Triple Crowners (own the PS2, X-Box and Gamecube), I would definately stop all of the other games I was doing when the next installment of the Donky Kong series came to the home system. But for now, get this one and play the hell out of it!
7411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great
1396 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is more fun than I expected. I am really pleased with the way Mario can move!
6927 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 First off my rating is high because I really enjoyed this game.
- Even though this Genesis version has more sound effects, some of the ones found on the Super NES edition are missing here such as the mock laugh that purple-haired joker creature makes at the last section of Level 5, a high-pitched "bawk" when the robotic rooster is getting close to death, and Pete the Puppy doesn't yelp when you whip him either nor does he let out an intimidating roar whenever he falls off the side of a cliff and comes back to attack you.
Zoo Tycoon is a totally awesome game, too!
BUY IT it or u will miss out on the best game ever. yes the best game ever.. all i can say is if u haven't for some reason BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT...
Dark Archon. These Swirling red look-alikes to the Archons do not have an acual attack but they do have powerfull spells like Mind-Link which converts enemy unit to your side(try converting a SCV so you can make terran units and building.), or Mealstrom which traps units in a temporary field or they can turn an enemys own energy agains them to destroy enemies instantly.
Take even the most similar games in the lot, like Galaga. It's gameplay is identical to that of Space Invaders, but it allows the player to shoot multiple missles at once, and the aliens dive toward the player's aircraft. Space Invaders has a slightly duller feel compared to Galaga.
other then that PLAY THIS GAME~
I still have my original from Summer '95.
Graphics: They're early N64, but they look alright. I don't like the fact that your main tank in single-player looks so cartoony. The comic-style storytelling is unique, and I think they're way better than PS1 Global Assault's campy voice-acting.
3818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Couldn't believe it was brand new such a classic
Nintendo was also very much alive and in the big picture with the Gamecube. Nintendo was content on making sure their fans would NOT be disappointed with the Gamecube the way they were with the N64. Nintendo fans are loyal. *Nothing* can knock out Nintendo. Nintendo recognized their mistake with the N64 and knew they could make it right again. They knew they could give the Playstation 2 a run for its money (and looking back, Nintendo did just that).
StarFox 64 (second favorite, play it all the time still)
However, the story does not end there. At the third scenario, Marine Recon shows up. The scientists all think that they are there to rescue them. Wrong. the Marines are actually there to eliminate ALL evidence that anything ever happened, which means they are to whack both the aliens as well as the scientists. So now you have to fight your way thru heavily armed Marines as well as violence-prone aliens who really, really seem to dislike you.
If you're looking for a fun mode with your buddies. In the multi-player battle just do teams with you and your buddies on a team against all Fist Sims. It's like zombies.
4254 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Starcraft is an old game for the computer. but even tho, it is still a very good game. u play as three different civilizations; Terran, humans. Protoss, advanced aliens that rely on technology heavily. and Zerg, aliens that are completly biological and use absolutly no robots at all. u play in the campaign mode and go along with the story, which is not bad by the way. however, it gets really hard in the last mission of the regular starcraft, where u have to destroy the overmind of the zerg. then in brood war, the expansion set, the last mission is almost impossible. the first time to beat it took me about 7 hours on that mission alone. starcraft is a really hard game and involves deep strategic thinking in order to win. overall, it is a great game.
8622 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Have you ever wanted to go fast?
6356 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have had a N64 since early 1997. From that time until late 2001, I had purchased over 30 games. This system has served me well. In late 2001, I bought a Playstation 2, but it's nothing like what the N64 (was) to me. I would spend hours a day playing Banjo-Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, and others. And the games actully lasted long amounts of time. Sure, they didn't have as good cinamatics as the PS1 versions did, but they lasted long! For example, I beat Banjo-Kazooie in a course of a year and a half. Then I beat Spyro the Dragon in 3 weeks. See my point? So, even though I now have a PS2, it'll never, ever be anything like the N64, and even though they now have all these great new systems, N64 will always be the greatest.
A final note-- I actually enjoy the 16-bit graphics. I am getting sick of all the games for X-Box and PS2 with hours of movie-quality cut scenes. I enjoy playing video games, not watching non-interactive movies.
One problem, however, is...well....There's another release of this version of the game for the Game Boy, but with an added game: Super Nintendo puzzle game Pac-Attack. Not only that, but that release also has both games played in full color when playing it on a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance.
5923 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I hate to admit it, but I used to think Final Fantasy was just a hack-and-slash series. I finally did some research into the series, and was amazed by what I read about FF8. I went out and bought a copy right away to see what it had to offer.
The best thing in this game is the man in the market, he is always so funny!
The GAMEPLAY is what to can be expected from a game like this. You will be jumping and many scenes in this game for it will spook the life out of you. I know you are saying...this is just a game....its more than that, trust me. You basically navigate your character throughout the game solving various puzzles to gain access to different areas. You will find plenty of ammo and weapons to help you battle the many monsters you will come up against. Other S.T.A.R.S member will be around to help you out....others will try to block your way. Although the controls are very hard to get used to, eventually you can compensate in many situations. You will battle zombies, dogs, crows and the dreaded M-121A's....the Hunters. But don't think you won't have the weapons to defend yourself for you will be armed with 9mm, shotgun's, a Colt Pyton and a fantastic Missle Launcher.
The music in this game is very well done, and of CD sound quality. The music is crystal clear, and fits the game perfectly. The background music is often very hauntingly eerie. Also, the sound effects are of nice CD sound quality, too.
Put the card into your PS2 and boom, it works! Someone else suggested this and it worked like a charm. Seems like they are tightened too much at the factory and in some way, it interrupts the memory on the card.
2736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lunar:Silver Star Story Complete was my first foray into the world of RPGs. First of all, I have to admit that it wasn't the chubby, badly drawn characters that drew me to the game, or even the wonderful cgi, complimenting the animation sequences, or the music, both of which are reasons in themselves for giving this game a try. What drew me to Lunar, was the thought of dragons, and the cat-like creature, Nall. That changed as soon as I got into the storyline. Alex had lived in the small town of Burg all his life, with his companion, Nall, and Luna, a lovely young woman who Alex's parents had taken in. Luna possesses a wondrous singing voice that ultimately gets her (and her friends) in quite a bit of trouble. What I liked was that rather than set her up as the helpless damsel, Working Designs allowed Luna to accompany Alex on his quest to meet the white dragon. She isn't much for fighting, but that magical voice of hers can charm, or frighten away most enemies. Along the way, we meet new friends, and new enemies. Ultimately, it leads to (doesn't it always?) a battle between good and evil, with the sake of the world hanging in the balance! If you enjoy Ranma 1/2, Jade Coccoon, or just like dragons and cat-like creatures with bad attitudes, then this game could be exactly what you're looking for! On last note: Please play this before you buy Lunar:Eternal Blue, because this is the original game, and it might help to clear some things up.
8817 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Metroid is without a doubt one of the greatest games I have ever played. The soundtrack fits perfectly with its eerie atmosphere, and the controls are fluid. There are a plethora of upgrades you can obtain throughout the course of the game from energy containers to new suits to be used with their perspective environments. The story is also entertaining enough, especially coming from a Nintendo game. The difficulty can be rather brash at times, but fortunately, whenever your character does get killed, she respawns in the last save point you have used.
6086 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Worked great nice to have for my older ps1 console!!!
The story is extremely well done with scripted in-game sequences and good storyboard artwork that makes the story compelling and interesting rather than "fluff" added at the end.
8708 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first Sonic game ever. It also is to this day still good. The plot is basic. Evil genius,known as Dr. Robotnik,is creating robots out of helpless animals. But there is one animal he can't catch. He is Sonic the Hedgehog. Out of all the Sonic games,this is the one with the best zones. My favorite is the Starlight Zone. This was revolutionary at the time,because there was much faster frame changing. The music(like in all Sonic games)is awesome,especially the Green Hill zone. This is a masterpiece that has survived the tests(and changes)of time. If you own a Genesis buy this game. You WILL love it.
Pros: Good graphics, Ability to fly all bombers, Great bomber AI, Good user interface.
6432 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 AOE2 is one of the best on its genre, still is so damn popular on the multizone, no matter if you play the solo missions or the standard games you will get a thrill. As always it's an excellent companion to many of our "lonely nights". Maybe the only thing is on the multiplayer option which is sometimes a little bit complicated. Anyway, this game is a must for your collection.
Gameplay
3570 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sega's detractors still ask "why own a Dreamcast?They also state they're a waste of money because they failed the 128 bit system wars." I respond by saying they are pretty inexpensive if you can find them used. I recently rebought a Sega Dreamcast, 4 controllers, 5 games and it only cost me 50$. I think that's a great deal. The Dreamcast's graphics still impress even today. Not to mention that the Dreamcast's best games are also in my opinion some of the best of all time. The Dreamcast's library consists of adventure games like Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 plus fighting games like Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter 4. If you get tired of playing games for a while the Dreamcast will also play audio cds and features an internet connection. So even though the Dreamcast didn't survive the battle of the other 128 bit systems that came after it they set the bar for them and are still worth owning in my opinion.
The space chatter is also great, with some very witty lines throughout. When you accomplish your mission objectives, you almost feel like shouting a "yahoo! " yourself.
San Francisco Rush 2049
All and all this game is a must have for any gamer who even hints at liking western movies. You can't beat the price for what you get. Don't pass this up, truly one of the greatest PC games ever made.
RE 2 has a fascinating two-disc set up. In the first disc, you play Officer Leon Kennedy, one of the few survivors of the RCPD, who has a really bad first day on the job. Leon's adventure takes him from the streets of the burning city to the police station, and from there through the spider-infested sewers to Umbrella's massive underground labs. Along the way Leon must solve numerous puzzles, obtain various keys and weapons, and blast or outrun a wide variety of drooling baddies that want to eat him. (He also encounters sultry Ada Wong, a playable character with a hidden agenda.)
1070 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game, for all that it was, was fun, exciting and enjoyable. While some aspects of it are repetative, it is fun, and I had a blast.
Finally, someone has the proper equation figured out!
5737 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is beautiful. Superb graphics for their time, great story full of twists and drama, vast world to explore, and so much more.
I recommend this game to any fan of the Resident Evil series.
Overall: 9/10 - This shouldn't be overlooked because of its frankly silly plot. It's stunningly enjoyable to play and really gives a good use to the analogue controller.
4.5 stars.
If you can find this cheap, get it. Otherwise pass it up.

Anyway believe it or not despite popular believe this is not the best final fantasy game. Now it is on of the best and is the best final fantasy game to get started with since its slightly easier but I would recommend playing threw Final Fantasy VI as well since after beating VII I discovered more games in the series and found that this game was a lot more fun although similar plus the story of that game completely sucks you in even more than VII does. Along with the soundtrack of VI is just as great if not better.
602 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Having played the Twisted Metal series for a few years now, I can honestly say that Twisted Metal III, while having an initial gleam at first play, it wears itself out fairly quickly. The gleam I'm speaking of is the slick graphics and the incredibly different game play. It tries to be something new, which it is, but it improves in all the wrong ways.
Combat system: For whatever reasons Working Designs left it simple and turn based and keeping to the sprites instead of trying to make the fights 3-D. With games like FFVII, Legaia and others going 3-D this gave a lot of ridicule to the game itself, a very unfortunate thing too. It was nice for the characters to have only certain things they could do, like Alex could only use special sword attack and no magic as where Jessica could only use magic. It kept the fighting more tactical and also made everyone in the group important and not just a space filler.
5365 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I missed this game so much over the years. I'm glad i bought it now, i never seen the endings in a type of 3D
They copy and paste the characters as they always do.
518 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love this game, this game is really hard, but fun once you get the hang of it, long, I've played more than 20 hours, and I still haven't beat it,
-Seven different characters to choose from
No matter what you do, your opposite faith and the Death faith start out powerful. This adds a new challenge to the game (The Death faith is out to kill everyone).

take a look at my lists and other reviews by clicking my profile name little john above!! :)
This survival horror entry was brilliant creative intelligent creepy suspenseful and awesome in every aspect.
It's a shame that no new games have been made since, but this was a pretty good conclusion. It's a great PS1 game and a solid title for 3D platforming fans all around.
As far as the game itself, Red/Blue were the flagship GameBoy games, and have become classics in every sense of the term. It is incredible how much fun and adventure could be packed into a cartridge with such little on-board memory.
-CHAOS EMERALD COLLECTING GIVES THE GAME SOME REPLAY VALUE. In the Mario games, you could collect all the secret powerups in the game, but the ending would never change. Not so with Sonic. If you manage to collect 50 rings and reach the end of a stage, you can jump through a giant ring and tackle a special stage to collect one of six chaos emeralds, which if acquired, enables a better ending.
804 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The cartridge was clean and worked perfectly! Loved this game as a child and even more so now as a young adult!
2667 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I am confused by the claims that this joystick does not work with XP. XP is plug-and-play: just hook up the USB adapter and plug the thing in. It registers perfectly. Go to control panel and mess with the calibration and test all your buttons - that works perfectly as well. One drawback in not being able to use the W95 software is a lack of ability to reprogram the buttons - no biggie since most software will let you do the same, but I dropped one star for that reason. XP users - don't concern yourself with the disk that comes with the joystick, just plug the thing in and get on with the games!
Another downfall was the frequency of the battles. You step off the path on the Overworld barely a bit and you're engaged in battle. I got really frustrated. When I was trying to get GF Ultima Weapon, the trip down into the bowels of the Deep Sea Research Center proved victorious--I got so frustrated with the unescapable frequent battles that I gave up. Of course, this is coming from the idiot who didn't realize GF Diablos WAS a GF and sold the freaking lamp after he destroyed her. So I didn't have the 'encounter none' ability. That would have made the battles less frequent and therefore less irritating, so don't go by me. :-)
For any who want a review of the game itself:
Graphics 7/10 fine, but not the best. The environments are well done.
Once started, your objective is simple, colonize other worlds or bring them to your cause through diplomacy or flat out invade them and then win them over with diplomacy. Just keep going until you have captured the other sides leaders and have deystroyed their base.
2) Most missions are well thought out and unpredictable
Here's the story of "Colony Wars": "You are a militant fighter pilot in space on the side of the rebel alliance who is trying to force the evil Emporer to his senses by shooting up his armies," or so says the narrational voice of an actor that sounds exactly just like James Earl Jones (the voice of Darth Vader) during the full-motion videos (FMVs) which were made by the same company who did special effects for "Independence Day." Sounds like a direct, word-for-word copy of the plot of "Star Wars."
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is easily one of the most hyped games of recent gaming history. In fact, I think I could safely say it IS the most hyped game yet. There is only one thing that can compare to it in terms of hype, and this product is in an entirely different industry. Star Wars: Episode I had the same amount of coverage. Being a big fan of both, of course I've beat the game and have seen the movie. And they have one thing in common. They're both eye candy. But how do they hold up to the rest of the series? In my opinion, The Empire Strikes Back is by far the best Star Wars movie. But what about OoT you ask? How can I defame such an instant classic?
Keep in mind that MK4/MK Gold are the games that marked the transition from 2D MK games to 3D. So if you are a dedicated MK fan, this game is a MUST. I definitely recommend it as it's a lot of fun.
What does it do? For some games that work both with and without the expansion pack, it greatly increases the types of graphics shown during gameplay. Pod Racer is a stellar example. Play without the pack, and you get rings and blocky graphics. Add in the pack and you suddenly have lens flare, details of ships racing beside you, crucial information about upcoming turns. It makes the game play the way the developers intended.
Graphics: i won't rate this since it's a PSone game, but they are good for their time period.
6442 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is by far one of the best real-time strategy games available. The game style is superbly unique, and even shames the classic "Warcraft II". The many different types of units, buildings, and technologies makes the game very interesting for a long period of time, and the difficulty of the missions makes this a game that will remain on your hard drive for at least several months are you purchase it. Even the experienced gamer will find "Age of Empires II" difficult, and the newbie will probably be at it for quite some time. I played most of the missions on the "easiest" setting, and they were still quite challenging and addictive.
You would honestly think that any game made by Square, in the era right after they relesed Final Fantasy Seven would have gotten more recognition than this game did, but unfortunately it did not, easily becoming an underground type sensation that few could argue, is not only one of the classic shoot-em-ups on the Playstation, but one of the best Side scrolling shooters of all time. Taking place in the all too distant future, we find ourselves jumping into the helm of three vastly different ships, which upon receiving different weapons, mount themselves on your ship in different ways depending upon which ship you have chosen. Each level is vastly different from the next, and each boss requires a methodical and increasing harder approach to defeat it, learning the patterns and timings of each boss is a must if you even want to get past the third level. With secrets galore and 2 unlockable ships (if memory serves me correct), the game is loaded to the rims with extras that will keep you glued to your tv for hours, wondering how in the hell this game is so addicting. Well in one sense the exceedingly difficult gameplay, drives you to want to see what the next level has to offer, while the actual process of figuring out the best route through each stage, while acquiring the best weapons to be used against each boss comes down to a science, and literally you have to become "One" with the controller, and basically let your senses take over, as this is probably right up there with Contra: Shattered Soldiers in terms of overall difficulty. But let me tell you the second you step foot into the final stage in the midst of an all out war against you, and only you, this game turns the world on you as you battle in space and fight off against one of the hugest RoboTech inspired bosses ever. Phenomenal music accompanies this blissful experience, as the pounding techno music even made me import the soundtrack from Japan, as I just could not get enough of the game and its music. It is unfortanate that the game never really made the waves it should have stateside, as I'm sure Square's reluctant to release a sequel, due to the games lackluster sales, but then again it just moves it right up there with Radiant Silvergun (probably THE best shooter of all time), in terms of one of those games you mention to someone, and there either like "What game?" or "Oh my friggin' God that game is so amazing." Praobably one of the best games you've never heard about or will get a chance to play, good luck finding it, and even greater luck trying to master it and beat it. Impeccable.
918 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works perfect!
- All of the weapons in the game are already unlocked and located in your storage crate.
There's plenty to discover in this game, and perseverance and inquisition are well-rewarded with nifty little tidbits of character history and cool bonuses. The real reward of this game, for me, though, was the final area of Ultimecia's Castle- the music and graphics just come together so perfectly that it makes it all seem worthwhile, and your victory is also well rewarded with a lengthy FMV.
487 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Hated it constantly fighting the controls and it wass just terrible all in all, will never buy an old tomb raider again!!
Speaking of babies... CRY CRY CRY!!! Yeah, Mario is PRETTY darn annoying but you have to remember he's just a baby! YOU were crying like that, too! You have to forgive him. Cuddle him and be thankful YOU don't have to raise this child!
First, you only have 3 levels for your weapons. It's nice not to have to power up for 2 minutes to unleash a strong attack. Second, your dog actually has an AI brain and doesn't do annoying things like the sprite from Mana (like getting stuck behind objects every two minutes). Third, the script is funny and gives the hero a personality; I loved the cheesy B-movie references! Fourth, the alchemy system is superb; I enjoyed digging around for ingredients and budgeting money between weapons, armor, items, and ingredients. Fifth, the game is difficult, not impossible, just a little harder than Secret of Mana.
The rest of the game-play and plot and story connecting is really great though. The game is going on 15 years old, and for that much time to pass and it still be just as fun (to me) as any game today, that says something.
The main concept is this: You are Lammy, Um Jammer Lammy, a guitar-playing lamb in a rock band called "Milkcan" (which also includes a bass-playing cat, a drumming dog, and a rapping onion). Throughout the whole game you are helping Lammy get out of sticky situations by playing the guitar (ex. putting out a fire, flying a plane). You are rated as awful, bad, good, or cool- and if you make it to "cool" you get to solo. You play the guitar by pressing different buttons on the control in time to the music, and there a guide telling you when to play. The songs are catchy and sometimes very funny, the animations are funny too but most of the time you are watching a scrolling guide on top of the screen, so this game is sometimes more fun for spectators.
This is the game that became a world-wide phenomenon. This is the game that created a character that is universally recognized as an icon representing all that is great about the hey-day of classic gaming! This great sprite known as Pac-Man leads the pack in the annals of classic gaming, showing one and all where our Xbox 360 and PS3 came from.
2987 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is my second time playing Final Fantasy VII, and I forgot how perfect it was. Everything about this story had such a nostalgic feeling to it. I am really glad I got to replay this game, and I hope all gamers give this game a chance.
7541 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Diddy Kong Racing, simply put, is a game I have tried to love, and simply cannot do it. I have even tried to play it, but I cannot simply stand playing this insipid game. I do now know why, but this simply is not a good game. Perhaps it is particular tastes. But I simply cannot stand this game. The tracts are fairly imaginative. One grating thing about it is say you hit a tree. Well, instead of bouncing off like on many other racing games, you stay bashing into the tree. It does have some interesting features, however. The sheer volume of tracts (had it been any other game would have been a plus) shows ingenuity, the story line is interesting, but in execution the game just flails horribly.
3532 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Sega's latest, and greatest console, even now in the year 2010! I don't care if a console is 10 years old, it's still amazing, I still play Quake 3 Arena online as to this very day!
There is significant replay value in the game with three endings and many different costumes to be unlocked and with the game made in such a way you can play through and experience it differently each time.
3765 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Whoa! I have never seen such a fast-paced game like this one! After playing the demo on the Sega Dreamcast generator disk I decided to try to find this and after playing for about 3 hours I was definently satisfied with it. Being a long time fan of Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, and 3, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic 3-D Blast) I was looking forward to this Dreamcast title. The graphics are absolutely amazing, the music is great and the action is fast, furious and entertaining. However, I have to deduct a star for the occasional camera angle which somtimes interfered with gameplay. Besides that, this game is a keeper for all Dreamcast owners. Get this along with it's awesome sequel Sonic Adventure 2 ASAP!
5698 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VIII is one of my favorities. It did take some getting used to the magic draw system but after I got the hang of it it became second nature to draw magic from enemies and fun. The draw back (no pun intended) was how time consuming it can be if you are wanting as much magic as possible. It became such a habit to draw magic that when I started another ff game I wanted to draw magic.
I did try internet play just for the heck of it, to see how it did over my yucky internet connection (I get maybe 28 kbps out in the country) and was pleasantly surprised. There were still a number of annoying pauses, but the game was still quite playable and I had the thrill of actually beating a rather good player in a one-on-one Capture the Flag. Consider me hooked!
The game is difficult at points, but is mostly pretty average. The most difficult part of the game is probably the battle against Wiegraf for the final time.
The PROS: A platform game that didn't star Mario would normally mean it wasn't going to be good. This isn't the case with Kirby's Dream Land. From the bright and crisp graphics to the pleasant music and solid controls, this game pleased anyone who managed to play it from beginning to end. Nintendo knew they had a hit by keeping things simple for the time being and for that, it's a game that is fun to play.
Bought some crops, planted, explored- I like it alot!
i had to drive 15 miles to the nearest Funcoland and waited inline for 4 hours during rain and thunderstorms to grab the sweet new sega system.. due to the fact it was raining

Every level in Donkey Kong Country 2 (save for boss fights) has a Hero Coin. These are giant coins marked with DK on them. There isn't much point to these beyond, quite literally, bragging rights. But getting all of them is going to take some time. Some will really test your skill (there are two in particular that only rewarded as a bonus on the end of the level target) while others are very cleverly hidden.
1608 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Good: scary fun gameplay with multiple enemies and atmosphere, great story both main and in play, good soundtrack for most part, added menu options to play, good replay with two characters
Most noticebly is the controls. The controls in this game are aweful! You have no idea how many cheep deaths the controls caused me. Its the main reason why I could never get pass the first boss. This is an extreme problem when you're facing more than one enemy because the controls won't respond when you need them to. The camera doesn't make things any easier. When platforming the jumping controls and camera will often cause cheep deaths because you can't see where your going or jump at an angle that causes you to fall off.
2581 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is fun and it looks just like the nes game. In fact the only thing diff. is that you can play mini games and the camera is zoomed in. The game is worth [the money] big time.
8702 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game rocks! Play as Donkey Kong and Diddie Kong! Help them battle the evil King K.Rool! TRUST ME,BUY THIS NOW! A GREAT,FUN,AND GOOD GAME!
Now onto the major flaws of the game. The main flaw is that it's not scary at all. "Shivers" is quite the misnomer. While it does involve the supernatural, it's more of a mystery than a horror game. The second flaw is that the 2nd disc was somewhat buggy. It was perfectly playable until I reached one timed puzzle that repeatedly flew by in a fraction of the time it was supposed to take. The company didn't have a solution to the problem, and I ended up copying the answer from a walkthrough just so I could barely make it through the puzzle before time ran out.
462 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I actually played the Saturn version with the 4MB RAM cart, and I have to say that the PS1 version SUCKS! Why? Because tag-team was taken out because the PS1 could not handle it. It did not have enough RAM (Random Access Memory) to switch fighters since it takes about at least 40 MB of RAM, and the PS1 only has 32 MB. If Capcom did put in tag-team, then it would take forever to load up a character once you tag-team with it, you can tag-team with the same character, but it does not feel the same.
The plot is simple - a truck with a defective nuclear bomb strapped on it needs to be detonated in a safe place. The main problem is that the truck is continuously moving at a set speed, and the slightest bump will set it off. It's up to the Blast Corps to clear it's path using a variety of vehicles. Some missions are too easy, but still fun, while others are incredibly hard. Many of the levels will require you to try them over multiple times.
-Jedi-Knight: Dark Forces II (PC)
Another fact is that the camera angles are bad, but the puzzles are harder. Hmmm? Resident Evil is a very very very good game...but it is just the dialogue and camera angles...ive been talking it down but now its time to tell you that it is DEFINATELY worth getting, despite it's happy mediums.
9374 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Nothing like reliving your childhood memories like breaking out the sega and playing all the old games you use to like this classic!
9435 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game is to dark to see anything and hard to play with the controls provided. I'd recommend upgrading to a different system for this game.
The enemies in the game is where it starts to slip a bit with not too many variations in there but this isn't much of a problem as dino encounters are not all that frequent anyway. The way the dinos are presented to you is good and the ways you are encouraged to beat them is refreshing. such as guiding a pterodactyl into a fan or electrocuting a raptor.
*All around fun
621 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came fast and was awsome love this game one of my favorites for this system and one of the best snowboarding games
8752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tetris is the first gameboy game outthere today and it's the best one to i mean when i got mine was back when the gameboy was the only portable game system because it came with the system i mean i even remember playing the game for hours on Christmas day because i got my gameboy for X-MAS and it was addictive so if you never played Tetris on the gameboy well you can pick up a copy cheap these days.
Amazingly enough, this game is also replayable - if you do the minimum amount of things necessary to win this game, you still won't have seen everything in the game. There are places you don't have to go, things you don't have to see, and even alternative ways of achieving the same goal, that all create reasons to play this game again. Except those areas of the game where you can die, or get caught by the bad guys, none of that will change how the game ends, but it's still interesting to go back and look for the things you missed - you even get points for the things you do, so you can tell how close you are to seeing everything the game has to show you. And for those of you who, like me, play these kinds of adventure games because you don't like getting killed or having to kill things, don't worry, most of that happens at the end of the game.
To conclude this review, I firmly say that Drive Safely in Real World
They could be improved by allowing the flyer to operate the flight deck controls with the mouse, but that is nitpicking. The exterior graphics are not state-of-the-art,
130 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great!
I received this for Christmas as a gift and let me tell you. This is possibly the worst piece of garbage put on the market. I mean, the questions run out fast leaving the game to replay old questions which are easy once you get to know them which means the replay value isn't very high. If you want a fun game try the Sims or Delta Force: Landwarrior. Your time would be better spent with those games .
3687 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played a Dreamcast. To be honest, I'm waiting for GameCube. I don't need a DVD player, Sony. But I saved my pennies for PS2 anyway and I went to Toys R US to buy a couple of PS2 games (so that when my friends at Amazon said 'we have your PS2 for you,' I'd be ready.) While there, I played San Francisco Rush 2049. Awesome. Long story short: for LESS than the cost of a PS2 and ONE game, I got the Dreamcast, FOUR games (NHL2K, NFL2K1, Rush 2049, and Jedi Power Battles), and a memory pack. The games look and play beautifully in all their 129-bit glory. And the hockey--a first generation version, I might add--easily rivals EA Sports' game. NFL2K1, based on what I've seen of Madden PS2 at Circuit City and online, is just as good if not better. You get more bang for your buck with the Dreamcast. I may even keep mine when the GameCube comes out--that's how impressive it is.
story line:convoluted. a lot of unnessisary plot twists, although it was servicable and interesting at points. it would have helped to add characters with...character into the mix. also there was several completely unncessary scenes in it where i thought totally didn't add a single thing to the game (the cloud in the bath tub with the dude or the cross dressing game?) plus the ending reeked of don't know what to do wiht the story line so lets just say this happens.
Well there you have it, DiabloII. It is a great game and I highly suggest you buy it. Not a waste of money
R4 is highly recommended to all. It can be "won" by those with lesser skill on the "easier" teams, but even seasoned racers such as myself get a challenge from at least 1 out of the 4 teams (the expert-level DRC-team Grand Prix). Also, note that one can finish a Grand Prix with a few 3rd or 2nd place finishes, but those who do this and think "I'm done" will never see the better cars in the game. And definitely not the Pac-Man car...
Even with the bugs (try to avoid them!!!), this game still stands out as a great "real life" video game.
Graphics: When it first came out where good but not great and to todays standards are just to par. 6/10
Gameplay- 100/100 I have heard people complain about the poor camera views limiting the gameplay, but in my opinion, the camera views perfectly fit this game and the game wouldn't be the same without them. Sure, it would have been nice to have a first person perspective while using the weapons, but it's all the same to me. I think it is perfectly fine having to shoot enemies in a third person view, and it works better with the type of graphics that it has. When you are spotted, enemies will storm in from all directions to stop you, something that seperates this game from all others. This game gives you good reason to want to play it safe, but still allows you you have some action packed fun as well, if you want to take a chance that is. Also, this game has an incredible storyline but doesn't throw it in your face all the time. MGS2 drags the storyline on eccesively and bores you with excruciatingly long cut scenes and codec conversations. I remember using the square button to skip most of the cut scenes in MGS2. The problem with MG2 is that the storyline is too complex for the good of the game. I mean, much of it is pointless grubble and the game bores you by making you listen to conversations about crap that doesn't apply necessarily to the main storyline, making it a waste of time. This game, however, truly has a wonderful , complex storyline that you will WANT to watch and listen to. Every conversation and cut scene adds to the game flawlessly, so you will probably never get bored, although I am sure you will find yourself reading the codec conversations manually instead of listening to the people talk, since they tend to talk rather slowly and take up a bit too much gameplay.
8915 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was definately my favorite super nintendo game. I only had about 2 dozen games for this system but I haven't played it in several years and I haven't forgoten how much I liked it. This game looks a lot richer than most games for the snes and has a crisp sound as well. Playing this game for me was like reading a good book. I really didn't like the game until I had beat the first continent. You cant judge it by its cover either. I was looking for a game that was similar to this but there really aren't any. The people who made this are the same people making final fantasy games today for the company square enix. The game I believe is closest to this would have to be the first final fantasy just with more elements from final fantasy adventure which has been remade as the sword of mana. If your collecting games for the snes this would make a good museume type trophy.

4213 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 StarCraft is arguably one of the best Real Time Strategy games ever made. It combines amazing game play, in depth unit characteristics, an amazing story, and fun online play all into one outstanding game.
The levels are pretty darn complicated, I think even moreso than the previous Doom games. It might only be because it's harder to cheat on this game than the computer Doom games.
1314 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Surprisingly I never got a chance to play the original on the computer, but the N64 version seems to portray the insanity well. As I understand it the weapons, enemies and level textures are the same, but the actual level designs are N64-exclusive, which is a neat touch. Much like the first Quake it's not a thinking man's shooter like Perfect Dark or GoldenEye, but there are some surprising elements such as the enemies that take potshots at you in their death throes. And while there's no online component, it offers a commendable split-screen experience.
It is fun from riding a tiger to running around spinning bad guys. This is child friendly but also adults love it.

I'll attempt to play this game again sometime this year. Admittedly, I am more mature now than I was during my first attempt. Maybe the change in outlook will brighten my perception of this game.
- What if I had 4 fighters?
The rule of this game is SAVE OFTEN. And organize your saves. Keep the last save before you change CDs (they correspond roughly to major developments). You might need to restart from there because you forgot to do something crucial. Or because you died (I got killed a lot too). You need lots of frequent saves, and a few less recent, and a few even less recent not to have to restart from scratch if you believe you forgot something at the beginning of the game. But overall, the storyline is quite intuitive and you'll be fine if you make connections.
This is not to say that BG doesn't take some learning. The manual is thick and at times confusing (particularly in how to memorize spells). There are lots of options in BG, so you'll have to become familiar with the game interface and inventory system. Be prepared to spend several hours just getting comfortable with how the game operates. Also be prepared to die a lot in the beginning.
The inventory system has been improved, but is still a pain. You now have a chest in town that will hold some of your junk, thus doubling your inventory. However, the junk in there cannot be accessed while in battle. Therefore, pack as much junk as you can on your back.
7588 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite n64 games. I like the different degree of difficulties.
I would definitely recomend it
7760 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Star Wars, released in 1992 and still one of the best 16 bit games for the SNES. Graphics, control, gameplay and fun factor all rate the above 5 stars. Adjustable difficulty makes the game fit your playing ability. A must own for SNES owners.
So that's my two cents on this game, I can't beat it, I don't want to beat it. I'd rather go to a Morrissey concert with Kathy Griffin as the opening act than try to play it again. It would me MUCH less annoying than this game!

2533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're older than 2 you probably heard of Super Mario, with over 200 games to his name he has tried almost every genre ( Yes, even a shooting game ), he is a bestseller ( The second best selling game ever ) and is the face of video games. So where did his fame come from? A package game for the original Nintendo. The problem is to experience on the original system you need to find a NES and you have to hope it still work. And I've never known how legal emulators are. Thankfully Nintendo rereleased the game a few times ( Super Mario all-stars/SNES Wii, NES Classic/ GBA, Virtual Console/Wii 3ds WiiU, And Super Mario Bros Deluxe/ Gameboy Color GBA ) This might be the best. It kept the original look unlike all-stars which might put some disappointed but it is a look that can't be beaten. It add a save feature, Boo race, red coin hunt, and even achievements! This is the best singular port of the game. If you want you can also get the Nes classic version, but this is the best port on a gameboy system. If you had to only get one Gameboy Color game get Pokémon Gold/Silver or this. 5+/5
7873 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario World is such a fun game. I love it.
Another innovative feature is that you get a ranking based on the total amount of time it took to complete a scenario, the number of saves and healing items you use. If you do well, you can unlock some goodies such as infinite ammo for a sub machine gun, gatling gun, rocket launcher, unlock special outfits and three new mini games. The first mini game, you play as Hunk, whose mission is to escape the Raccoon City Police Department with the latest G-Virus created by Umbrella. The second mode is known as Extreme Battle in which you play through the entire map of the game and you have to locate four special bombs to destroy the T-Virus in Umbrellas Lab before it can cause a lot of damage. You get to play as four characters: Leon, Claire, Ada and Claires brother Chris. Each has their own set of weapons and you can adjust a difficulty setting to fight stronger monsters including bosses from the regular game. The third and final game mode is called Tofu and it is the strangest mini game I have ever seen. You play as this giant block of Tofu (Yes, I am dead serious, a giant piece of Tofu) and in terms of the objective its the same as Hunks mission except you play as Tofu, who is only equipped with a combat knife, so it makes this mini game very difficult to complete. Ive completed the mode as Hunk, but never as Tofu. The good news however is that Tofu takes a lot of hits to kill so basically the only way to complete this game is to run. Dont even bother fighting the enemies, the knife in Resident Evil 2 is just extremely weak and isn't worth the time. Still this mode is worth playing just for the amusement factor because Tofu says some funny Japanese phrases whenever he gets hurt. Its funny, even though I cant understand it. It is also pretty difficult to unlock, you have to get an A ranking at least six times to play this mini game. For the Extreme Battle and Hunk, you only need two A rankings.

9456 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Well, this can be a very chaotic game! The creature noises are very entertaining, the weapons are pretty good, the graphics are really cool, there are a lot of boards, etc. The reason I gave this game a 4 is because the first-person character movement is odd. You have to manuever the yellow buttons while you're steering; otherwise your character will just look around, which can be cool, but it can also be hard on my hands after a while.
401 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a very chanllenging game for me it. Took me about three months to beat the even old original 64 verison way back in mid 2000 I think it was when back when I was about and was midway through my final and last growth ssuppert. I belive I later when I was about 14 got the newer playstation version. I unfortunatley due to a couple years lack of experience had to use the invulerability and zeeny to comple in a lower completion time of about maybe 10 to 40 hours compared to the original completer time of about maybe 30 to 80 hours maybe more or less. This game will be fun once you get used to some changes. One megaman like in the later games of the original series was original drastically increased in size at a huge height of abou 4 to 6 six feet tall and abhout probaly weighs about 130 to maybe 350 pounds witrh his armor on this is the biggest mega man ever made. Once you learn how to concort the stroneger boss with high atatck strenght and to dog them this may be a piece of cake. To beat Jungo increas e every thing one the midssle launcher to max this will give you infinite ammo. With this one the ammo update to unlimited if you pay up enough zeeny You cane beat juno easily. Just hold down the button the missle will shot of function like heat seakers. As long as you have infinite health slash cantina points one you can sit there turning your missle into the ultimate automatic fire weapon. Pushbed the out fire down and keep shooting them of at rapid speed. Even if you get hit you should be able to take this boss down and complety both parts of the battle in about maybe 45 second 20 minutes maybeless. This is a fun games I hope you enjopy it even though roll is now longer robotic, and Rusha and Beta no longer exist. If you like this and want a really challange to test your patience and enduranc eplay the insanly hard megaman legends 2 also avilable in playstation format.
The music and graphics sticks in my mind like nothing else. They worked so well together. From simple cut scenes to the most glorious of FMV. And unlike today's games that throw long boring FMV in just for the sake of filling 2 DVDs, this game used FMV to make a point so poetically you couldn't help but feel like you just watched an epic film.
Bottom line: It's a fun game and I highly recommend it! 10/10
Pros: Battles that require strategy and skills, not just dumb luck and high levels
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island stars the lovable dinosaur named Yoshi. As it turns out, this is a prequel of sorts as on the night the stork went to deliver twin babies Mario and Luigi, a sorcerer came out of nowhere and attempted to steal them. He only got Baby Luigi while Baby Mario fell straight down and onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi and his fellow dino buddies decided that they would reunite Baby Mario with his brother and go off on a grand adventure. What lies ahead for Yoshi and Baby Mario are 6 worlds, each with 8 stages filled with enemies, traps, obstacles, puzzles and secrets.
Negative:
2543 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 How does one game make an amazing comeback? Do it like Mario Deluxe did!
-Some really bad camera angles ruin the fast pace of this game
2106 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game, kind of pricey for being such an old game and system.
Fun Factor: 10 After spending 2 hours with the game, it's about as much fun as Diablo was when I opened up the game and popped it in for the first time. How much longer will this last? Who knows.
Even if you beat this game, there is still plenty more to do: collect all the DK coins. Collect all the Bonus game coins. Comlete World 8: The Lost World. This game will never have you bored.
6780 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great for my collection
8980 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you are seeing this, is probably because you already played this fantastic game. When it was released it came a little before of final fantasy 7. It was a classic RPG game but with really challenging puzzles and a story that you'll remember always. Don't expect flashy big hollywood explosions nor stunning graphics. Just enjoy the beautifully crafted 2-D towns and a standard 3-D batlle motions.
5008 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game to this day remains a classic by PS standards especially.
Storyline - Wrong. sorry but you are not saving peach again so just get that out of your head. a beast from another dimension and his sword guardian...Exor they take over bowsers keep and crash the star road.
If by any chance you liked this game then check out all of the other Bomberman games.
6333 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Nintendo 64 is a lot of fun, and it is well-made, too. Mine works like new and is about 10 or 11 years old right now. There are a lot of fun games and it has all right graphics and good sound. Even though it's kind of old, I still have a lot of fun with this console.
3302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love RE2 with a passion so i wanted to play the N64 version n see the differences. Its more or less the same but has its enough differences to atleast give it a try.
If you want a game with stellar graphics, an intelligent and nicely developed story, great sound, and you want to kill things, Max Payne is for you.
2993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There's much i could say about this amazing unrivaled classic, however i'll keep it swift since it's infamous status as "Best FF game Ever" is world-known.
The battles are intense. And as for the boss battles, the bosses have a variety of options that they can do, and to effectively defend, you usually have to be prepared for any "curves" that they throw at you.
Overall, a good start for the series, but good luck finding this game. This game never reached the virtual console because of the controls so its a rare find in any trade in store without it being at extremely high prices.
5833 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay--let's get one thing straight. On technical merits, there is no argument that any person can make that this isn't the greatest game in the series to the point that it was made. To put it simply, the graphics are mind-blowing. I started this game IMMEDIATELY after finishing seven, and from the opening scene, I can assure you that you won't find better in the earlier series. As always, the sound is solid and the gameplay is well structured, so what you end up with is a game that is, in fact, technically superior to anything Square had done to that point, and is still impressive today.
-Not so great 3-D battle graphics,(the less important thing to me)
4.8 out 5....
When Diablo came out almost 4 years ago, it was the surprise hit of the 1997. One day there wasn't Diablo, the next it was on store shelves, and the day after North American productivity plummeted 25%. Although Blizzard liked to classify it as a RPG, it wasn't really one. More like an action-RPG, since so much of the game relied on reflex and mouse-clicking. The story development was slim and roleplaying aspects non-existent. Yet the simple, addictive gameplay hooked us all and had us begging for more.
Racing level
8405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been eagerly awaiting this game for more than a yearnow, and now that it's finally out, I'm not dissapointed. Awesome story, video, graphics, sound, and smooth gameplay combine to make this an amazing game. The levels are a reasonable difficulty level, and it intertwines with the written star wars stories without blatantly contradicting or ignoring them. Although it doesn't run great on my system because I have only 32 megs of RAM, it is still reasonable, and on my friend's new computer it's amazing. All RTS or Star Wars gamers must have this game.
I spent 4 hours playing the game; meaning I got my monies worth!
1415 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No matter how many times you beat this game you still want to play it again and again. Its because its tons of fun to get stars but also because the graphics are extremely well done and take up almost all of the system's power. Every level is great and the graphics are still awesome up to this day. In fact I like the visuals in this game more than some of the games for the 128 bit Game Cube including Super Mario Sunshine. The game play is very simple and easy but still manages to never lose a player's interest. I like to think of Super Mario 64 as a visually breathtaking masterpiece. The graphics are so awesome and the gameplay is very addictive even if youve already beaten the game 30 times it just never gets old.
5806 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you thought VII couldn't be beaten, think again; VIII offers much more than VII could have, but falls short in some areas that VII was the king in.
9323 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 if you pay over 200.00 for the first dragoon game you need to understand its only 6 levels so don't spend that much when you can get it for 25.00 everywhere else
9430 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great port of a classic game for the 64. Really fun,
edited review as I've FINALLY played the game.
9077 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Who would've thought that the Donkey Kong series which started out as an "ape throwing barrels at people" game would turn into a full scale, 5 star, action/adventure extravaganza??? Donkey Country had it all. Flawless, clean and sometimes breath taking graphics and effects to complement the endless arrays of level by level challenge and outstanding game play.
2. Why no voice acting! I sooooooo recomend it! C'mon Square at least on the CG movies(pease let FF9 have voice acting)!
Very nice (since being a Playstation game the areas can be more exspansive than the tiny GBA thus allowing anime cut-scenes and more free roaming through places, but the GBA is nothing to be scoffed at having better sprites and brighter colors)
Very colorful and pleasant to look at. Graphics still look good compared to games that were released a couple of years later.
6995 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I really love the way this game is put together. I never got into the old Donkey Kong games but they're honestly two different kinds of games. This game is more like Banjo Kazooie, in the way that you can run around freely and collect stuff. The golden bananas are basically jiggies, the regular bananas are notes, there's a multitude of other stuff to collect and all 5 Kongs have their own set of stuff to collect. This game is HUGE, and thanks to all of the weapons you can get, you can play it at your own pace.
3137 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you've never played an RPG before, this one will spoil you rotten. This is where I really started, and I've been trying to find stuff like this one ever since. If you're new at this stuff, but would like to nestle inside of a safe non-threatening experience in the RPG realm, look no further. This is the Cadillac of RPG's. It's easy to play; gives you ample opportunity for increasing your skills, and really touches base with many gaming experiences including fighting, racing, puzzle-solving, strategizing, etc.
9670 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game! It is a puzzle and it is very creative. Fun game and great for anyone who loves Pokemon. I suggest this game to anyone who loves games or anyone who loves Pokemon.
Akuma,Ken and Onslaught are playable with a code
The other thing that really revolutionized action/adventure type games was Donky Kong Country's boards and levels because none were exactly the same. Each board had it's individual quirks and perks and each board gave you that needed challenge that other action/adventure type games lacked at the time.
The plot of the game is as follows: You play a young man named Tomba, who after a run in with some evil pigs steal your grandfathers bracelet, set off to retrieve it. Now I'm not going to spoil it too much, ;)
Overall: A-
Sound/Music: Awesome music, superb sounds
The play control... goodness. It's definitely not easy to figure out at first. To make Mega Man walk straight, you have to hold down the L and R buttons (this rotates the direction Mega Man is facing) while at the same time you have to use the up, down, left and right buttons to make Mega Man walk forward. So, because you have to do a lot of running in Mega Man Legends, when an enemy is chasing you and RIGHT behind you, you have to turn around, use the L and R buttons to face him, and THEN hit him. In the middle of hitting the L and R buttons will probably be the time you take the most hits. It may take a few hours to properly pull off but you *should* become better at it with practice.
1663 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I purchased this version on my PlayStation 1. This updated version was released a year and a half after the original game's release. Director's Cut was produced to compensate for the delay of the sequel, Resident Evil 2, and was originally bundled with a playable demo of that game.
56K MODEM: UPGRADEABLE TO DSL/CABLE/T1!

3053 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy VII - Circa 1997
6601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VI, or 3 on the Super Nintendo, was the second console RPG I played. (The first was "Lagoon" on the SNES, which was good.) I still believe that FF6 is one of the best of the Final Fantasy series. It has excellent character development, a good story, and for the first time, a villain with a background and personality. Up until this point, most RPG villains were "Mwa, ha ha, I'm Evil!!!" villains who were evil to have someone evil in the story. In FF6, Emperor Ghestalt and Kefka are deeper than that. One realizes too late that his greed has doomed him, the other is insane because he was the subject of magical/medical experiments. I have played this game six times, more than any other RPG.
1788 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excelent
But you do more than just shoot things. You have to operate machinery, you gather up bits of crewmembers' logs to piece together the truth, you perform chemical analysis on alien organs to find out what they are, and you hack into replicator systems to try and get useful items.
1328 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 enjoy this game.
This is definitely a game for mature people who can laugh at themselves - sex (straight and gay) and drugs play a major part in the story line. There are twists and turns that will have you falling about laughing, and some repellent attitudes that will sicken you. You have to lie, cheat, steal and fight your way through pretty nasty scenes, and delicately negotiate your way through others. Good deeds are rewarded (if you help out Frank in the Den, go back and visit him later when he's made good - his generosity is a huge help), and bad decisions are paid for (leave that Pariah dog to his own fate). There are quite a few chance encounters, some screamingly funny (especially for fans of Monty Python, Star Trek, etc.) and, for a basically moral character, some pretty distressing, where you are completely powerless. And though it's pretty gory, nothing's funnier than the way some of these critters fly apart after a good critical hit.
9316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Panzer Dragoon is a great rail shooting game. It is easy to play and has a lot of cinematic qualities. I highly recommend it.
Fun levels to play in and the music was pretty damn good too. Like I said, I liked the characters, Natalia being my absolute favorite and I kept coming back to this game.
The type of class you can get is nice as well. Terran, protoss, and zerg.
C&C Generals has a "strategy center" that allows you to "hold the line" or "bombard" or "search and destroy". But Total Annihilation does it better, and without spending 2,500 credits building a "Strategy Center".
Well, Kids, Sonic is back and better than ever and now, thanks to some extremely brave and very, very well-executed gameplay changes, regains his foothold as the best platform hero in the world, bar none :-)
I'd also like to mention that when this game was released, I didn't know about it until about 5 years later. At the time, I was into Sonic and Pokemon (when Kanto was the only region!), for the most part, and I thought the new art style was as cool as anything could ever be. I didn't recognize Knuckles, though, because I'd only ever seen AoStH and a few Sonic products in stores (such as spaghetti-os). I literally thought Knuckles was an enhanced-awesomeness version of Tails, since he was the only character on the can with Sonic. I completely forgot about that feeling until this showed up in the mail after I ordered it. The box art is just so much more detailed than any other Sonic game's that I can think of (regarding resolution, at least).
What made this game so much fun was the uniqueness of it all. You're an explorer out to discover the legacy of his lost father and discover a ship trapped in the ice. The ship is inhabited by odd spirits and dreams of people long dead, and it's your job to find out what happened and set the dreamers free.
7601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works and in fair condition!
9154 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Max Payne is really a wonderful source of gameplay. Best of all, for the PC version, there are tons of Modification sets that can be downloaded for free. I highly recommend this game for that reason. They really enhance gameplay in a way that cannot be done by the regular consoles. Though at times it is repetative and you will sometimes forget why you're shooting the next 35 people, it's rather fun.
Quake 64 is the reason I've been obsessed with FPS games ever since. Thanks to Quake, I've played every game from Doom to Powerslave to Disruptor to Heretic to Hexen/Hexen II toQuake II to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake III Arena, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Darkwatch, Red Faction 1&2, and so on. Quake 64 is an absolute blast to play.
I found out that this game can be handicap adjusted, making it fun and fair for all ages and skill levels.
6390 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The original tomb raider, while lacking the visual panache of the third and fourth entries, and the intricate puzzles of all three sequels, is still the best.
this game is worth having in your collection. you will do yourself the disfavor by not buying this, because you're missing out one arguably the best mega man game ever. BUY IT!!!

3585 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 First of all,let me say this is a great system. Now lets go to the good stuff:controllers:Excellent. They are well designed and have a anolog stick or D-Pad choice,plenty of buttons in convenient positions plus to on the back. Basically a cross between the N64 and Xbox controllers. Games:Who cares if it doesn't have as many games as Playstation! It's got plenty of good titles that it does have:Sonic Adventure 2,18 Wheeler,and Demolition Racer to name just a few. Tee Off isn't as good as Mario Golf for the N64,but it is still good. Also,Sonic Adventure has something SA2 doesn't have,adventure boards! Although this can make the game frusturating at times,it is still cool.(okay,so maybe these are the only games I've played for DC other than Sonic Shuffle,which I hate and is nowhere close to Mario Party 2,but they are still good and I've also played Wacky Races,which is a very fun and cool racing game,but is kind of fursturating at times). Another cool thing is the web browser which is compatible with the DC keyboard and mouse(and version 2.0 of it even comes with a simple yet cool game called Sega Swirl). Now as for the memory cards,there's not much to say other than that they can hold plenty of info and are at a reasonable price. Multiplayer capablity:This system has almost as good as multiplayer as PC,because it has plenty of good multiplayer games plus you can play on the internet and it comes with 4 controller ports! Graphics:They might be a bit under that of Playstation 2,Nintendo Gamecube,Xbox,or a new PC,but they are still quite amazing especially for their time(the game I've played that I think has the best graphics is Sonic Adventure 2). Pricing:amazing! This console a lot cheaper than PS One,yet it is even better! Plus it has the feature that was first introduced on PS One,the ability to play Music CD's!(but the CD playback isn't as good as other systems though). To sum it up,this is a great system with quality games,accessories,internet,.and multiplayer capablities! It may have been the first 128-bit system,but in some gamers eyes,it is the best(but I still no PS2 and GC are better).
1174 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Zelda "occarina of time" is much like the rest of the Zelda series... it doesn't disappoint! With really cool items to collect and using your songs/spells to warp around, the entire game offers whole new dimensions.
3694 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Hello. My name is Erica. And I'm a Dreamcast addict. *Gasps from the crowd - Donkey Kong stands up, glaring.*
When I was a kid, I used to play the s*** out of this game and in my opinion; this is undeniably not only the best Resident Evil game, but the best survival horror game and one of the best PlayStation games I have ever played. This game still manages to be very scary, if you're playing this for the first time, you are guaranteed to be so scared; your heart will burst out your chest. Trust me; I had my jumps even to this day. Its more fun playing this game alone in your room in the dark, with the volume turned up. This makes for a terrifying and memorable experience. I absolutely love this game, its just a masterpiece. Id recommend getting the version from the PlayStation Store to play on the PS3 for only $6, or the regular PlayStation version or the Nintendo 64 version. Those are the best options. The replay value is very high for me and I could play this game at any time. You will admire this game and its by far the best in the entire series.
StarCraft is the game that set the standard of Excellency for all RTS games that preceded it. It is a must own for all Strategy Game lovers or those who love playing War games.
Gameplay:
8601 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 loved this
Pros: graphics are great
Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong have a lot of friends along the way. Wrinkly, the old monkey at the save cave is always complimenting you. Funky Kong is at Funky Rentals where he gives you cool new water equipment like motor boats, water-skis, jet-ski's, etc. And a another great addition to the game is Swanky's Sideshow, a tent where you can play games head-to-head against Cranky Kong to earn bananas and coins to earn extra lives and buy stuff.
Pros:
"Symphony" boasts impressive environments, huge bosses, multiple endings, creepy music, and more weapons and items than you can shake a stick at. My only problem is that it's just too much for me to remember--when I'm being mauled by Beezlebub is not the time to look up the "Dark Metamorphosis" spell. If you take the time to learn all your spells, as well as the ins-and-outs of all the Familiars, though, you won't have that big a problem.
I hope you buy this game for your Sony Playstation and experience a fun time.
The kills are hilarious, shoot a guy in the leg he hops, or he will hold his wound and croak slowly. Really amazing and funny AI here, certainly revolutionary as they will even attempt to hide behind cover. Not sure the exact number of missions, maybe around 20? Including the jungle, snowy and runway areas. Bond sports the classic PP7 along with other cool gadgets and weaponry, you can even man a tank in a certain mission. The cheats are great, including a paintball mode, all guns and others. The juiciest part of the game is certainly the multiplayer. Nothing beat grabbing a few friends and karate chopping away at each other or just use the throwing knives.
3611 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Doesn't work at all. Freezes. Pissed off.
Super Mario 64 not only has good graphics, good sound, and good gameplay, but the fact that it is revolutionary (in that it brings gaming into the 3D world) makes it not only the best game of 1996, but possibly also the best game ever. That's right, even better than Castlevania and Super Metroid.
ThanksPS2 Memory Card 128MB for Playstation 2
big gameplay element comes into play. Throughout the world (or I should say continent)
A few downsides I can get over is the video sequences. A lot of them have really bad animation. Another downside is the audio, sometimes when two characters are talking to each other there will be a long pause in-between the end of one person's dialogue and the start of the next person's. Like I said I can get over that.

The setup is pretty basic... the Voyager is trapped in an region of space that saps power from all ships, for "harvesting" (of both technology and biology). There are other survivors of this trap in there, including a "scavenger" base consisting of several known species, plus two major new alien races... and then you get to start facing down the real force behind this trap. And yes, there are Borg involved as well... you get to face them on more than one occasion.
Whether you're in first or last, those balloons do not change. It's up to YOU to win. This game eliminates that random chance blue shell that will end friendships. It can be a little annoying in the sense that it really favors the best player (my older brother always won) but it's really fun.
"Better get a mop -- there's going to be guts on the ceiling!!!"
6338 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 After the startling success of Nintendo's NES and Super SNES video game systems, they had a tentative agreement with Sony to introduce a disc-based console to the public. When the deal fell through, however, Sony decided to create the Playstation while Nintendo stuck with cartridges for one more go-round. The "battle" proved to be roughly a draw if you can remember back to the actual period and not just remember the Playstation hype.
I'm also SICK TO DEATH of all these complicated video games out there today that require pressing TOO MANY buttons just to make the character perform an action that can *easily* be mastered on the Playstation 1. No, you do NOT need extreme and precise accuracy just to shoot a guy in the arm when you can perform a similar action playing a first person shooter on the PS1, such as the Medal of Honor series.
Resident Evil 2 also helped the whole "survival horror" genre gain major popularity. Before this game, the genre didn't really have a proper name. We just called them "scary games" or whatever. Also, the play control in this game was excellent, not to mention important in helping people understand how to control characters in a 3D world. The Resident Evil series might not allow a lot of room to walk around, but I don't think it's supposed to. You're supposed to get a sense of claustrophobia. You spend the majority of the time in tight hallways and small rooms.
In Railroad Tycoon II you being with the famous B&O Railroad, connecting cities in the northeast corridor of the US. You begin with single track, determining which city needs which goods, and how to give each city what they want while managing your finances. As you get more money you can build larger stations, buy bigger engines, beef up your track system, and more.

1672 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I rented this game because I am a big TM fan. I'll tell ya', this game is pretty old and doesn't have the best graphics, but it's awesome. The levels are cool. My favorite is Holland: Field of Screams. The characters are awesome too. My favorite is Minion. One of the things that I almost immediately noticed about this game was the machine guns. I don't even know why they give you machine guns on TM 3 and 4. They don't do anything. On TM 2 the machine guns actually do some damage and debris flies off other vehicles when they are hit. It would take a week to kill someone with your machine guns on TM 3 and 4. Actually you would be killed in less than a minute if all you use is a machine gun on TM 3 and 4. If you want a good vehicular destruction game, you can buy any TM game, they are all fun, but I recommend TM 2. It will provide hours of fun, especially deathmatch mode.
Even though it was too easy, I bought the game anyway. It's fun to beat the heck out of these computer controlled suckers. Plus I really like the game's ending.

Though this game is extremely rare to try to get a hold of now, if you're a Playstation gamer or action fan then you owe it to yourself to pick this up. Its one of the most complete and enjoyable action/adventure games of the last ten years.

Looking back now, this game was an excellent first for the giant we know today as the Resident Evil series. With such classic games as RE2, RE3, Code: Veronica, and RE4 stemming from it. This game is a simple must own in your video game collection, if you see a copy and don't own one; buy it is what I say. I got the copy I have for $5.00, which is an excellent price for such a classic game. There is no reason not to own this game.
For another, this game gets extremely tedious after your first month. It's fun, and then, after you've beaten the game 60 times, you realize it for what it is- clicking. Over and over. Then clicking some more. OH GOD THE CLICKING NEVER STOPS. EVEN IN MY HEAD. AAAARRGHHH ITS DRIVING ME INSANE.
5530 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game actually scared me a couple times, as I witnessed supernatural phenomena via the various monitoring devices, and I wondered what was going to come find me....This is a great game to play if you've ever wanted to be a paranormal investigator--you get to play with some of the funnest toys since the Ghostbusters movie! The only reason I didn't give it more stars was because it seemed way too short. It's still a great buy, however!
6271 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game!
After five long years, The Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time was released for the N64. So cool! Link in a 3D adventure. About time too. Mario, the cash cow counterpart to Link, got his 3D adventure way back in `96. Of course, I bought the game. And of course, I beat it. It is an excellent game. Truly it is one of the great classics. But one flaw keeps it from edging out The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past. The end dungeon absolutely sucked. That is my only disappointment with that game. As I was nigh the close of the Shadow Temple, I was really looking forward to getting into Gannon's tower. I was expecting a great closer dungeon, just like in Link to the Past.
5904 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I would rate this game a 3 and a half, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt, and give it a four. Overall though, I think that this is an excellent game, and I am very happy with it. I have high standards for games and I only like about half of what I play, and I would say that this game definitely satisfies those high standards.
104 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This was a great replacement mic for RockBand. We always had a hard time with the tapping portion of the game with OEM. This picked up the taps perfectly for that 100% score while singing! More cowbell anyone?
In battle mode you and a friend choose a character to battle against each other. You drive around a course trying to pop each other's 3 balloons. You pop their balloons by shooting green or red shells at them or throwing banana peels at them. This mode is very fun especially if you get tired of GP mode.
An evil forced named Dark Matter has stolen the Rainbow Bridges that connect the Rainbow Islands, and possessed King Dedede in order to take over Dream Land. It's up to Kirby and his 3 animal friends to defeat Dark Matter. However, in order to truly get rid of the evil doer, you need to collect a Rainbow Drop from each island. If you don't get them, you'll still defeat the possessed King Dedede at the end, but in the credits, Dark Matter's silhouette appears with question marks where his name should be. Don't you want to get rid of the real bad guy? Of course you do!
3076 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is probably the best RPG that ever has and ever will be released. I've had it since it's release in 1997 and beat it several times and I plan to again. It just doesn't get old. The graphics are still great, but a little outdated of course because technology is getting better. But it still looks pretty. The battle system is the best of any of the Final Fantasy games, even the newer ones. In fact, I think that the battle system of FF7 is the best of any RPG. The music composition is great as well, even if it is just one guy on a synthesizer. It's great. Let's see; the gameplay is perfect, the music is perfect, the battle system is perfect, the character's are loveable, and the best part is...the story. This game is truly a classic and I recommend it to collectors and gamers alike.
718 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Classic game. One of my favorites from my childhood.
This game features Squall , a lone wolf, that becomes a Seed from Balamb Garden (This garden educates people and trains them so that they can fight evil sorceresses. While the story progresses, Squall stops being a lone wolf,and eventually makes friends. When Squall , and two more Seeds, have their first mission,while being in the subway, they pass out and have this dream about the adventures of three soldiers Laguna , Kiros and Ward. As the game progressess, these three characters turn out that they do exist and that that they play a very important role in the game.
Control: Unfortunately, this game can't decide on Arcadian controls or Real World controls, so it attempts to do a half and half deal. The car's accelerates and steers like it's running through molasses, unless of course it floats, then it feels like it's skimming around on ice. In fact, control's so bad that I tend to get and use the hovercraft mode or the boat mode more often than not. The only major saving grace is that the controls are 100% configurable. I myself don't like the default uses for the buttons. Especially for my style of play which involves using my thumb to press two or three buttons at the same time. (Old School Mario Style if you will.)
152 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I was interested in this product for the n64 part. Retrolink makes SNES and NES controllers for PC but no N64.
The bottom line is if you've never watched your Element (Ice-Snow, Fire-Lava, Death-Ash, Life-Grass, Water-Swamp) spread out from your one city and cover the world, then you haven't truly lived. Age of Wonders is everything that Civilization is not.
A seemingly unlimited number of free mods that can be dowloaded off the internet.
Roughly Three Months after Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, and Sherry Birkin escaped Raccoon City, Claire has found her way to Paris, France, the main headquarters of Umbrella Europe Inc. She infiltrates, but after a stunning cinema that impress even to this day, she goes down fighting HARD!
Did I mention anything about all the side quests in this game? At the beginning you are fairly limited with how much of the map you can explore, but once you become more mobile, you can walk away from your main objectives and discover new places that provide you with additional quests. This is how you will get the bulk of your Guardian Forces and some other life-saving items. My favorite places were the Deep Sea Research Center, the Centra Ruins in the wasteland of the Centra Continent, and the Shumi Village in the north.
The graphics are very good and use a different technique than RE allowing for much more user interaction. In RE the graphics are made up of pre-rendered backgrounds but DC uses polygonal characters and backgrounds to better effect and look very much like the areas they are trying to convey. This style of graphics works better than in RE and heightens the tension very well.
Thankfully, these are only about 5 total of each of these levels.
3682 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The Tekken catagory of games (3D style) came about on its own and took the gaming world by storm. Tekken 3 is just another step up the ladder of success for the Tekken series. This game has "Tekken Ball" where you play volleyball, it has numerous hidden characters, and it will definitely keep you playing for hours so you can see your move over and over again in instant replay.

5606 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 good product
3908 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The Dark Forces may be the best first-person action video game, but it gets Marred by MOS. It was too easy to kill myself in MOS simply by force jumping. I died a hundred times because there was something overhead when I jumped. Once I died because I jumped straight up, but took damage from the fall. Another time I was on this ledge and couldn't get back up--every time I jumped, I would bounce off the wall and die. When I went to several web sites to get help on how to get off that ledge, the best that I could find was 'it is tricky' to get off the ledge. After dying several hundred times I got bored and quit. I've never gone back.
Here is a study for the boss, inferno. He is a flame and to my opinion the hardest to beat. He only has like 4 moves of his own but every time you battle him, he can be one of any of the fighters. When I mean that, He has a same weopon as that fighter and the same moves but He is still a ball of flame. His moves are really powerful and you can like take the person out in like 3 moves. His stage is in Space and very creepy compared to some of the other stages.
7981 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 wow...When Rare was relevant! Man, I love this game to death. I always remember the Christmas morning when I got this, stayed up waaay too late playing, really love it. But this game seems to get a lot of flack from the youtube "gaming community." I see a lot of people calling it "childish" or weak compared to the first two. A big problem according to people are the main characters, Kiddy & Dixie. They say "oh kiddy's too slow and looks too childish." First off, Kiddy controls EXACTLY to DK in the first DKC. He's a heavy weight, moves a bit slower...but he can take out the larger enemies with a lot less effort. And Dixie was in DKC2, we all seemed to love her there... And as far as the "childish" aspect goes, the whole DKC series was always very youngin' friendly. This isn't "Yoshi's Story" (N64) by ANY means!! This game has a lot of challenge and only improves upon 1&2. The controls and gameplay are basically the same, only with added mechanics. My only complaint is the music on occasion isn't quite as memorable....but that's just my opinion. it still has GREAT GREAT original tunes. Otherwise, DKC3 holds the high standard. Anyone who played 1&2, PLEASE! If you haven't, play DKC3!! And good luck completing this 100%. A very challenging feat.
And some other neat things but I will tell you right now if you do have a Dreamcast don't keep it to dust and play GTA on your Ps2. You need this game for the Dreamcast. This is one of the reasons people got a Dreamcast....I got it as a gift from my aunt and took advantage of it by getting the games..And this gem was one of them. Listen..do your self a favor and get this game...heck even Gamespot gave this game 10 and it's extreamly hard getting a good score on this game.. The visuals arn't as great as SC2 and that is pretty much the only thing wrong with it.. Bottom line
3802 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've had this game since not too long after it came out and I still play it. I had to replace my disc on amazon after the case was broken and someone decided it would make a nice coaster one too many times. I made an iso with my new disc and now it sits as back up, safely in a box and I can play this glorious game forever.
Overall, I'd recommend this as perfect for person with nothing else to do during the summer. Its addictive enough to demand frequent play, but during the school year you might lose interst.
Caveat - if you find graphics, animation or current technology very important to your gameplay experience, do not buy this game. It is over 10 years old. Depending on how fast your PC is, you may need to download a patch by Grayghost to get it to run in XP/7. But, if you're looking at old games, you probably already have patience and intelligence.
Those familiar with the Myst series will know some of what to expect: lush visuals (although in static form, no 360 rendering), a detailed storyline, fiendishly clever puzzles, much mysterious machinery, and a need to respond to and interact with the environment in order to solve the game.
There are a few options that you can change for the regular game. You can have 5 hit points instead of 3, and you can, of course, change the control settings.
But the graphics and difficulty can be easily forgiven, considering how addictive and compelling the gameplay is. In it's finest form, Intelligent Qube is a perfect example of superior gameplay over superior graphics. This is one puzzler that stands the test of time quite well.
5572 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm having the most fun I've ever had on PlayStation! I highly recommend it. Best RPG ever!
A must have.
The game is richly complex with numerous "in-play" options, mod's and social structures, etc that can give play variations.
And the best part of this game are the boss battles. Each boss is truly unique, memorable, and a joy to fight. You will have a blast from Psycho Mantis to the Ninja to the climatic battle vs the towering Metal Gear.
In juxtaposition against the original Diablo, Nox has a lot fuller content and a more coherent story line consistent with a role-playing type game. Though I would admitt that the story, while just fine, is not awe-inspiring like Torment.
9879 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have had this since i was little and i still play it between this game and Sonic adventure for Dreamcast they are the best sonic games you can get just trust me. If you like old school games and haven't played these. Buy them!!
The PROS: For Rare to bring this game to the SNES and have it turn out as good as what Capcom did to the home port of Street Fighter II a few years before, it was quite impressive. The core game, complete with all the characters, stages and moves is intact and inside the massive, black 32 megabit cartridge. The graphics, music, sound effects and game play are worth seeing in person. The controls are very responsive and it's just a matter of memorizing the moves before you learn how to play and get better. The game will become more difficult once you raise it so prepare to fight hard. Adding the extra modes means you can get all your friends in on the action making it a fun game to play. As an special treat, Rare included a bonus music CD of the game's soundtrack and remixed tracks exclusively for the SNES version.
Please use it because I have barely used it, it just saves 10% it isn't money to me, it cost $15.00 for a year and you get 1 magazine each month. PLEASE GET THIS GAME! THIS is the best game you will have ever bought, the fact it doesn't save just adds a big bar of replay value to this game, it is the most replayable game I have ever played:) and that is out of a lot, a few hundred games..... Do yourselves a favor and lay back on the couch and enjoy Mario's first adventure on the game boy!
"What is a man(Metroidvania)? A miserable little pile of secrets!"
I felt like screaming "Turn the lights on!" during the first level. What a murky morass. I installed this game twice and I still can't stand it.
2997 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was my first RPG back in the day. I absolutely loved it. I really would love to play it again, and I'm sure this game is overhyped for many that didn't play it back in the day. This game had charm, great CG cutscenes, and it totally captured me in the last few hours. Some say it wouldn't hold up by today's standards, and maybe not. But I would love to play it again someday (maybe on PSN) and would love even more a remake done in HD.
3040 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was in high school when this game came out. I saw the commercials. I was little confused about the title (what happened to Final Fantasies 4 through 6???), but the game looked cool. I wanted it.
4123 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just what I wanted.
In terms of graphics, Final Fantasy Tactics is fairly cute looking. But the sprites are incredibly detailed, especially for 1998. Unlike the PSP version the game also runs smoothly and fast. There are also a few cutscenes here and there to show you some of the story. Tactics also sports some of the best music the series has ever known.
the members of Foxhound are some of the most memorable in videogame history. the first, Revolver Ocelot, a gunsling, six-shooting Soviet that sadly loses a hand during an encounter earlier on in the game. Vulcan Raven, a giant and shaman, he wields a gigantic gatling gun and resides in a warehouse freezer where he talks to his fellow ravens. Sniper Wolf, a sleek and sexy, well, sniper, that has a reputation for always getting her target. Psycho Mantis, a war guinea pig and avid gas mask wearer that also has psychic and telekenetic abilities. the leader of them all is Liquid Snake, Solid Snake's "brother". he's pretty much just an arrogant, powerhungry jerk hell bent on world domination/ a good end boss to really get the urge to kill. other key players include: the legendary Gray Fox/the ninja/one of the coolest freakin' creations in all of videogame history. his optic camo and razor sharp katana (a gun later in the game) are just too cool. He slices up enemies like they're butter and looks cool as hell doing so. he is by far, next to solid snake, the coolest character ever imagined. but they wouldn't be nearly as cool if it weren't for the story behind it all, which i'm not going to get into, you'll have to buy the game if you want to know more about it. there is also a woman in the game named Meryl, who is an army brat and snake's love interest, kinda.
2450 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight, Mario or Jigglypuff? If Link went up to face Donkey Kong, would he stand a chance? In Super Smash Bros., the creators of the game take all of your favorite, well known Nintendo characters and throw them into one game. You can choose from several characters like Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Link, Kirby and many more to battle against each other until there is only one left standing.
All in all, I'm kind of saddened that Sega's console is fading but if any game whose top notch gameplay can remain an eternal tribute to the dying console, then Sonic Adventure stands at the top, shining like the brightest star in the universe.
8981 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everybody seems to note that this game's plot is a typical "save the world" storyline. While that may be true, most RPG's I have played seem to be derived from that say typical format. Even FFVII, as great as it may be, ultimately fell for the same format. However, in spite of this format, Wild Arms delivers on plenty of plot twists and character development.
Super Mario World encompasses all that is great about not only the Mario franchise, displaying the rightful place for Mario in games, but shows us what is right about video games and the SNES in general.
Game-play:+++++
9263 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'll try not to reveal too much so I'll keep this as short and sweet, yet as informative as I can. Rarely will a game come along that you can relate to so closely. Your everyday normal guy gets blasted into a land called Evermore. Evermore is constantly changing and if you watch this you will get what's going on. With all the twists and turns and probably one of the most believable games you will play. Evermore really feels like you are in the game. Aside from that this game was made by Squaresoft of America and so if you haven't played this pick it up!
Graphics: Look at this game. You can tell me the pirate theme is not cool. The environments are incredible for being a SNES game. If you thought Donkey Kong Country looked good wait till you see this one.
3048 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Simply the BEST rpg EVER made , final fantasy 7 is the frist 3D final fantasy for playstation and it is the best RPG with the best grafics, best songs , and best plots, no RPG compares to him .
2019 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 came fast.. works .. love it.
3457 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 first let me get something off here. resident evil 2 was the best but that doesnt mean to not get this one too because this is an incredible game very fun lasts long enough to keep you entertained from begining to end . and then when you beat it you will unlock the mercenarieswhere you can unlock unlimited ammo for your guns and i think you can unlock infinite health too. making the game like a movie invinsible characters and they will never run out of ammo. the reason this game is not as good as resident evil 2 is that it doesnt have enough bosses or big enemies even though you do fight nemesis a lot and always wondor will he stay dead this time or do i gotta kill him again. its still better to have more bosses.
And as for the story... Well, It won't win a oscar, but It's pretty cool. The last belmont kicks the stuffing outta drac in the beginning of the game, then after four years of friday night poker games, and having a wench in every town... he disappears. And wouldn't ya know it... about the same time, that fun haunted house that we all know and love as castlevania reappears out of the mist. Richters sis, maria, puts 2 and 2 together; goes too find him. (Apparently he owes her money or something :P.) The half human son of dracula, whos supposed too be locked in an eternal sleep, wakes up after 400 years. after going too the nearest tailor too get some hip clothes and a much needed bath, he heads out for castlevania as well. Sword in hand and ready too kick booty... of course that's just the opening... the rest of the story is pretty decent. I liked how death and allucard had somewhat of a repore. death seemed at first reluctant too fight him, even gave him a chance too go back... but when allucard refuses too renounce his quest of patricide... the whuppin begins. moments like these, and many others like It give some more depth too the world of castlevania.
The Amazon is a quick and nimble warrior, with the mastery of spear and ranged weapons. She also benefits from spiritual abilities and excellent attacks. The perfect choice for those that were fans of the Rogue class in the first Diablo.
is Tiny Kong. She spins with her hair. Her ponytail power could
OVERALL: This is not an average, this is what I think about the whole game, as a...whole game, anyway.
1806 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 If you like orange bandicoots and video games, then get Crash Bandicoot, the stuff of dreams and legends. "I am N.Gin you FOOL! Face my destructive robots!" That is my fave quote. If you hop on the 'shrooms right before the end o' the 2nd snow bear level and go to the central one, you shall find none other but a secret tele-port. You will go to an unknown warp room that makes no sense. Congrats.
9405 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super R-Type is extremely addictive. Unlike most space shooters, it is not insanely difficult. Some obsticles may take a few tries, but they are always fun. Basically, you blow up stuff with your spacecraft in a 2-D sidescrolling environment. You pick up the occassional power up, fight the usual boss, and have fun with it as well. There isn't too much to say about this game except that it is the most fun space shooter. If you can find this one for a low price, grab it. You can probably find it at EB Games or GameStop in a buy one get one free deal these days.
4901 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Fans of the series will tell you its worth the money it's going for but I think if you missed Suikoden II, you missed it. Suikoden 3 is better afterall. Even the reviewers will tell you. I'm not saying this is a bad game, it was actualy a very good one, but it's not worth shelling out 150 dollars for.
Easy to hall around
6405 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is an awesome demonstration of what life was like in the middle ages. The thrill of watching your small village grow into a mighty empire is very cool. The scenerios are historically accurate, fun 2 play, and most importantly, challenging yet possible. a great overall game.
The unanimous vote for best fighting game ever made was given to this game. Soul Calibur is indeed the best fighting game ever made. With seemingly endless "goodies," intense battles, beautiful artwork, incredible graphics, Namco has once again revolutionized gaming forever (surprise!). With nineteen playable characters (I think), this game never ends.
The voicework is pretty weak. It's not so much that the voices are bad, but the actors did a poor job on their delivery, so it all sounds pretty cheesy. Having to hear it all the time during combat doesn't help.
I think I've touched on the main points. Once again, if I'm missing a class, feel free to tell me.
I was kind of worried, because I had gotten some games with my system that I used to this were fun also but they ended up being a little too easy since I'm older now, but when I got this and played it it was exactly the same. Some easy levels, and some that take forever to get through, but in a good way.
WARNING: DO NOT remove the game from the gameshark for any reason while the nintendo is on. If you do, you could damage the gameshark and maybe even your game if you're already playing it. What happens is this, the game that was removed will work, but the other games will only cause it to freeze.
4875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Was able to get the job done. Smelled like it came from a old basement. I would say forget your worries go for it. Bring that Sega back to life.
ZANGIEF
+ Level Up System:
5835 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Without a doubt, the characters in this game are the most realistic. Whoever writes that they are too cheesy or corny has not lived in the real word (even though I'm solitary and introverted, I was able to realize that). The way Square made each character's behaviour was enough to make me love the game, though the graphics weren't my favorite. As these chars are teenagers, NOT adults, the way that they act is completely natural for people whose method of emotions has not evolved into that of an adult (duh). The whole prodigy thing was a bit much, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game.
2018 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Game came in horrible shape, and did not work out the box. I had to use alcohol to clean off the connectors to make it work. Other than that it worked well. But for the price, I cant complain too much.
5014 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have a PS3, you can download this game for $5.99 from PSN.
8341 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with the item
Game gets incredably boring and hard
1497 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it or hate it, Doom was indeed one of the most controversial and popular games of the early 1990's, due to its violent content and satanic imagry. Doom was among some of the violent games that were blamed for the shooting at Colombine High School in Denver, Colorado. Doom was even ordered to be banned by religious protestors. But despite all that, Doom is still one of the hottest shooting games in U.S. It's my favorite game on the PC. I play almost every day on my computer at home. I would love to own this game on the Playstation because, it is, by far, the best version of Doom ever!! I rented it from one of my local movie rental stores, and loved it. The graphics are pretty good, the sounds and music are very eerie, and the animation is excellent. And just like on the PC version, all of the weapons, levels, enemies, and cheat codes are here. If you play this game and love it, also get Final Doom for Playstation. Those who are offended by lots of satanic imagry and bloody action should steer clear.
And finally, Capcom got it right. What's the "it" you ask? Instead of making an entirely new stage where you have to re-fight the 8 Maverick bosses, in this game the 8 Maverick bosses are spread out through each of the three Sigma stages. I figure if Capcom is going to make you fight those bosses again at LEAST make doing so as interesting as possible. And they did!
spectacular as I did, especially if you aren't very keen on Japanese RPGs. But if

5733 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I finished playing through this game my senior year of high school after having abandoned it in 8th grade. I can safely say that, despite some rather large flaws, it's a game worth playing.
787 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Such a good gift. This is for N64 and makes a great gift for gamers. Super nostalgic and fun game. Complicated and time-consuming, but a lot of fun.
good controls
5371 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 PS1 owners looking for a great FPS experience shouldn't look any further than Final Doom which was released a few years back. It's everything the original Doom was, only with new, bigger levels, a lot more enemies, and a lot tougher gameplay. The only gripes that can be found is that Archville and Spider-Mastermind were not included in this conversion, but the smooth frame rate, gorgeous (for its time) graphics, and challenging gameplay make Final Doom one of the best first person shooters for any system, and is a clear overlooked gem for the good 'ol PS1.
6420 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Age of empires 2: the age of kings is all about building a small town and defending it against the computer or a friend if you play it online. You create the army that'll protect your village, and you can send the army to go fight the enemy. All in all a fun and adictting game.
7126 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Doom returns in this 64-bit entry of the Doom saga. The gameplay is, basically, Doom, but with 32 new levels, one new weapon (the Laser), and one new enemy type (the final boss, the "Mother of all Demons"). The graphics, with their high resolution textures, are head and shoulders over all the other Doom games before this. The ambient soundtrack and solid sound effects also get high marks. This game is a bit dark (as far as how bright the screen is during gameplay), there's no multiplayer option, and without a controller pak, the passwords are a bit hard to remember. But at the end of the day, this game is still a lot of fun, and is highly recommended.
Overall 7/10
2525 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Awesome! Exactly what I wanted!!
9099 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I will admit I was a little nervous buying this console because I was afraid it wouldn't work, got it on Thursday plugged it in and it works like a charm. I am impressed the console itself was in very good condition. Only bummer it didn't come with a controller. I love it and its very small and portable my brother is gonna enjoy this.
5815 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I know that many people either love this game or hate it. Me, myself, kind of agree with both sides. I think that it started out as a great game, good gameplay, excellent graphics, mesmerizing music and a decent plot. I thought that this might have had potential of living up to other great Final Fantasy games like FFVI. And don't get me wrong, I thought it was a great game, but not a great Final Fantasy game. The same thing with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, I think they concentrated too much on creating good graphics instead of spending most of their time on the plot. At first, I thought that this game would keep a steady plot, but it got boring fast. The characters were basic and primitive and didn't advance enough and there wasn't much that was happening. But why did I rate it 4 Stars then? Because I liked the ending. Even though I think they concentrated too much on Squall and Rinoa, I still think it had a sweet ending. It's an okay game but for me to say it's one of the best Final Fantasy games would be a blatant lie. I'm ready to face the facts. I say you buy Final Fantasy IX or X and save your money for excellent games instead of decent games.
1403 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64 was and still is one of the best and most revolutionary video game ever made. The game was a launch title for the Nintendo 64 and boy did the game make its mark on the console. Sure we have games like Banjoe Kazooi, Ocarina of Time but this game was the first to come out and is still an instant class and started many many famous game rippoffs(Like many people say Banjoe Kazooi was a ripoff but I DIDN'T SAY THAT so don't flame me!)but that's beyond the point, this game is still one of the most beloved video game ever. When Super Mario 64 launched with the N64 it was indeed a very revolutionary game, it was the first game to present 3d platforming, state of the art graphics and some of funnest/best gameplay you'll see in platforming/action games. The game is HUGE! In Mario 64 you WILL be going through many, many stages to collect stars so you can unlock more areas for more stars and ultimatley put the evil bowser to an end and once again save Princes Peach. I was one of many people who first played this game back when it launched with the Nintendo 64 and when you compare it to todays games the game(to many, but not me)looks terrible but you gotta understand, the time this game was released(96')it was INFACT the best looking video game ever.....period...and even today when I play this classic, it still looks amazing! Call me crazy but I seriously still think this is one of the best looking video games of not only the mid 90's but even today, it is still marvalous! The music in Mario 64 was just plain perfect, the music blended in with the games levels and star hunting, words cannot explain how well Miyamoto and Nintendo did for the music,it's just plain good! The controls are also tight and well focused, I especially love the array of moves Mario has and although the controls may feel abit clumsy at times it never bothered me once! As for camera, yes there were times were I wanted to break the tv but the reward and satisfaction of getting a star after that trouble feels so good! Audio, controls, graphics are all A+ and as for gameplay?...Well it depends..Do you like platforming/action/exploring/collecting games because you will be collecting pretty much for the whole game(Stars, duuhhh)and if the answer is yes then this may be the best game you've ever played! Now for me the gameplay was truly fun and innovative, I never got bored once in this game. It's so fun, hunting for stars never gets annoying or frustraiting! Speaking of difficulty the game is perfect, it's not hard nor is it easy like pie(acctually I take that back, for many people this game will be easy if you wanna just beat the plot)but it just gets it right on difficulty, I don't remember ever being frusraited or angry with the game(then again I never did try to get all 120 stars)and just having a great time with the game...it seriously is one of the funnest experiences I've ever had with a game and as I said before....this game is revolutionary! Now that I'm done ranting and talking about this game I'll just get to it quickly...
8020 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 definitely came in rough shape the sticker practically peeling off the game and when you put the game it doesn't even work! sold me a broken game!
3855 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 NBA 2K is not the best basketball game for the DC. NBA 2K1 is better. 2K1, ..., you can play network games; has more players including classic players; better moves and controls; no more not catching a pass or passing the ball to someone out of bounds; no more crazy camera angle changes that sometimes cause you a turnover b/c you walked backcourt, etc. But NBA 2K is a great game. It's better than EA sports or anyother Bball games out there. The graphic is excellent, controls are easy to use and simple, and playing against the computer is a good challenge. It's quite addictive because it takes a little time to become good. So, most likely, you will lose to the computer at first, even with the best team. Don't get discouraged, you will become better and so will your players (really). ....
You can equip yourself with a variety of realistic firearms and bullet-proof jackets. Spells are purchased and upgrades are available. You can even purchase cybernetic upgrades. Combat is in real time directly in the field. Money is usually earned by taking on certain jobs (ranging from simple deliveries to complex VR heists) from "Mr. Johnsons", some of whom pay particularly well.
9385 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this video game because it is based on my all time favorite Disney's cartoon movie. The fact that this game actually lets you play through the actual events of the cartoon is awesome.

The stage where a squid is chasing you through a deep underwater maze is definitely really creepy (because he never STOPS chasing you) but more importantly these water stages are really exciting (and challenging). I'm really surprised how significantly more fun and challenging the water and temple stages are in comparison to the ones in the DKC series.
3543 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I originally saw Sega's stellar Dreamcast in action, the day it launched on September 9, 1999, I remember thinking that console gaming had finally matured and arrived in grand style. Up to that point in time, no previous video game system had the polygonal pumping power or blazing speed of Sega's Dreamcast hardware to produce the spectacular and wondrous visuals that countless people around the globe had been enjoying for years in arcades. Though Nintendo's 64-bit behemoth, along with Sony's colossally popular Playstation were very admirable machines with extremely solid and respectable game libraries, neither came swaggering out of the corner, looking for a fight swinging as furiously, or packed a punch quite like Sega's powerful like the Dreamcast. It was a machine that was truly ahead of it's time and set a new qaulity standard in the industry that was hard to match. While classic, much lauded launch titles like `Soul Calibur', `Sonic Adventure', `Power Stone', `Crazy Taxi', `Hydro Thunder', `Marvel vs. Capcom: New Age of Heroes' and `NFL 2K' showcased the Dreamcasts impressive, jaw dropping, and drool worthy graphical capabilities, it was another launch title by Sega, `Chu Chu Rocket' that reminded the world what helped make the Dreamcast an important part of gaming history. Granted you had to subscribe to SegaNet to take advantage of this heralded feature, but now a person was not only able surf the World Wide Web with their Sega Dreamcast, using the included browser disc and integrated 56k modem, but could also play games online; a realm that was previously exclusive to P.C. gamers. Sega's console is a rock solid and attractive unit that is pleasing to behold and was built to last a long time. The Dreamcast controller is similarly well designed and assembled. It's comfortable to handle for numerous hours, making it a perfect for weekend long gaming marathons. The buttons are well laid out on the right side and colorful, opposite of the analog thumb stick, which is positioned above the D-pad, with index finger triggers on the underside. It also has two expansion slots to accommodate various accessories like `Visual Memory Units', a `Rumble Pack' or even a microphone. The only strange thing about the Dreamcast's controller is that the cord is connected at the bottom, but can conveniently be secured forward on the underside of the unit. The `Visual Memory Unit' resembles a miniaturized version of Nintendo's original Gameboy, with a monochrome LCD screen, positioned above the D-pad, which was next to the `Start', `Select' `A', and B' buttons. Not only could this little marvel save vital game data, but it could enhance the experince in numerous ways too. This could be a mini game, like `Pinta's Quest' on `Skies of Arcadia', raising a Chao in 'Sonic Adventure' or displaying play calls on Sega's awesome 2K sport games. Sega had a smash hit on its hands with the Dreamcast, but it wouldn't have been worth anything if there wasn't quality software that took advantage of the systems powerful, cutting edge hardware that was genuinely enjoyable to play. Luckily, the Dreamcast amassed an admirable collection of classic and beloved games to build a strong library in it's short life that proudly endures today; there is something for everyone. The previously mentioned titles are only a brief taste of the untold hours of fun and adventure that awaits the owner of a Sega Dreamcast. Other classic platters like: `Grandia II', `Jet Grind Radio', `Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver', `Phantasy Star Online', `Space Channel 5', `Shenmue' , `Metropolis Street Racer', `Virtual Tennis' and countless other great games are still waiting to be discovered on the Sega Dreamcast. Nearly a decade since it debuted in North America, it's still thinking, keeping a firm hold of gamer's hearts and imaginations.
838 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite FPS's of all time. It stands right alongside Halo, and Battlefield 1942. The single player missions are done wonderfully, the enviroments are great, and the multiplayer is the best I have ever played.
All things aside Final Fantasy 7 visually is probably one of the ugliest games in existence, but the story, characters, combat and track keep it still relevant nowadays for a reason. If you're into classics or are curious, I shouldn't be the only person recommending you FF7.
3599 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yeah, we all know that Sega has stopped making Dreamcasts. They followed the somewhat questionable buisness formula of taking a loss on the console and hoping to make up for it with software sales. This, as you can guess, did not quite work right, and now Sega just makes software. Which is a pity, because this console is so good! I have a PS2 and a Dreamcast. They sit side by side in my room. I get, I'd say, about an equal amount of mileage out of each. Bear something in mind, though. I use my PS2 to play my original PSX games, PS2 games, AND DVDs. I use my DC for DC games only (some are imports since I have my console chipped to play them). Meaning, if you break it down console wise, I use my DC much more than my PS2. The Dreamcast is very quickly becoming the "hardcore" gamer's platform of choice, due both to the high quality of the games and the fact that it's the one console nobody thinks to get. It's every real fanboy's dream, really: An unused console that none of the mainstream press pays much attention to that has a wonderful stable of games that far exceeds that of the PS2 (at least so far). If you like fighting games, a Dreamcast is a MUST-OWN. The PS2, despite what people may tell you, is not as good at doing anything 2D as the Dreamcast is. All the good fighters are out on the Dreamcast, and they're there to stay. When Capcom vs. SNK 2 comes out, you can bet that I'll be pounding away happily on my imported Dreamcast version while everyone else boots up a PS2 to play it-and I OWN a PS2, so it's not like I don't have a choice! In fact, it'd be cheaper to get the domestic PS2 release (the import DC version is a flat $..., more than I'd pay for a PS2 game.) The Dreamcast is host to many innovative games that many developers won't risk on other platforms. Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi 2, and so forth. The system is almost on par with a PS2, and in many instances will get a better framerate. Rayman 2 is a good example of this. Looks great on the PS2 to be sure, but the DC version looks just a little better. The DC would be hard pressed to pull off something like Devil May Cry, but that wave of games is not here yet, and the games the DC has now will be good no matter when you play them. Shenmue is spectacular looking no matter what you stack it against. Don't get me wrong, I love my PS2, but I wouldn't give up my Dreamcast for the world If you don't own one and you even remotely consider yourself a gamer, you owe it to yourself to buy this console. Remember, once they're gone, that's it. Sega isn't making anymore after this, and you'll be kicking yourself later when you have to buy one... on E-bay 'cause you didn't act now.
165 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this from amazon seller likeelectronic Ship FM Hongkong for under $3 shipped.
Unfortunately, due to the particular circumstances of the closing of the company that developed the game, Looking Glass Studios, it is very unlikely that there will ever be a third System Shock game.
- The Graphics are 64-bit, in other words, they look incredibly dated on a HDTV.
As Ash, you travel through the world of Kanto, which is divided into a number of cities and towns. A map will be your guide as you make your way through the vast world of Pokmon. Explore caves, oceans, tall grass, and rocky paths on your way. Each town or city usually has its own Pokmon Gym, with a Gym Leader which is something like a Boss. Each time you beat a Gym Leader you receive a badge. You need eight badges to battle the Elite Four and the current Elite Four Champion. There are different diversions in each city and town, for example, Celadon City's department store and casino, and one of my personal favorites, Fuschia City's Safari Zone.

Hydro Thunder
Definately worth the buy if you are a Mortal Kombat fan like me, or if you wanna have a pretty good platformer. It isn't the best out there, but it sure is one awesome experience.
The series needs to end here, period.
3146 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game starts when you are Cloud a Shinra inc soldier and you quit and join a team of mercenaries called avalanche. They want to destroy all of shinra and make midgar a free town. You will fight in over 1000 battles with monsters and Hard bosses. You will have a long journey to finally reach your goal... To KILL Seperoth for all people. He was a friend of yours until he went crazy and started killing. His artificial mother or not real mother Jenova is someone you must kill. She is deadly and youll find out how to kill her later in the game. Seprioth is the enemy, you won't find that out until later in the game. I don't want to spoil the game but.. its the best game ever made.!
567 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So happy I got a childhood game of mine. This is absolutely amazing. I missed it so much, I was 6 when I first got this, along with bomberman, and mario party. N64 is life. Thank you.

184 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is not the first one of these I have had, in fact this is about my 8th. There are many different skin types and different skin makers, so you have to judge each on it's own merit. My controller skin arrived today, well ahead of expected delivery, just as described solid black and silicone. Fit is just perfect, and installation had no problems. Good comfortable smooth texture, while still providing a much better grip than on the hard slick controller plastic. I like to clean my game equipent regularly, and I always clean even new items before using. This is a great way to test the quality of the item, I cleaned the skin using isopropanal alchohol, no gumming (like you get with lower grade skins)and no color bleed onto the rag, this tells me it is definitly silicone not some rubber stuff. Once on the controller grip is good, comfort is good, feel is natural. I am very pleased with this controller skin, I have been needing to get one for my extra controller. I will definitly be ordering a few more later, a friend has a birthday coming up.
Replay Factor
components are there. some games i would recommend
There are very few moves, very robotic movement. No finishing moves, lack of modes as well. Single player, YAY! Punch and kick 1 guy until one of you has had enough then get pinned. Tag team mode, the exact same, but with 2 guys on each side and Survivor Series mode, the exact same with 4 guys. That's it, that's all there is. No career mode for a belt, no battle royal, nothing. RAW was much better for the snes. Get that instead
The Character Generation is fabulous. Not only do you get to give your character specific skills and abilities to surivive on this foreign planet, but you get to customize their appearence. From skin color and eye shape, to haircut and clothing.
9292 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very good game, hard to play it too

7177 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My controller came exactly in the condition the seller stated it was in. Used but still functional and sturdy. The joystick didn't stick and wasn't loose as exclaimed in the discription. A perfect add-on to my (now four) collection of controllers.
First of all, the games are great, they are unique, and they are fun. Only on the Dreamcast can you play Resident Evil:Code Veronica, Crazy Taxi, Sega GT, Space Channel 5, Jet Grind Radio, Sonic Adventure, F355 Challenge, Virtua Tennis, Seaman, Samba de Amgio, Soul Calibur, or Power Stone 2. NFL2K1 is an outstanding game, and most review sites consider it to be barely... -barely- ...behind its Playstation 2 equivalent. Games like Tony Hawk, Soul Reaver, and Jedi Power Battles feature better graphics and other improvements over their PSOne cousins. Also consider the huge titles just about to be released - Shenmue, Grandia 2, Skies of Arcardia, Quake 3, NBA2K1, Half-Life. That still leaves other huge titles, like Virtua Fighter 4, Black and White, Phantasy Star Online, and Shenmue 2, for next year and beyond. The Dreamcast has a great future!
Without materia, though, your characters are naked and can only attack. This brings about small problem. The first being that there's is no incentive to use any one character above another. Final Fantasy VII remedies this by givng its character ultra powerful limit breaks. Every character has a limit gauge and when it fills up as they take damage. When full they can let forth a brutal attack. Characters also have limit levels for different limit breaks and the higher the Limit Level the more damage you have to take before its full. Unfortunately, this is all that makes any character different in battle. Materia gives them legs, but you can always transfer over anyone else's materia to anyone else. In the long run this won't bother anyone, but it leads to a lack of variety in the characters and you more than likely won't need limit breaks that much to begin with. Final Fantasy VII's pros more than outnumber the cons. The amount of customization is great, but it still would've been nice to need one character's ability over another.
6803 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 case 9/10 cartridge 10/10 manual 9/10 overall great thanks much!
I would suggest picking this game up, you get a lot of play time out of it. Its a good blast from the past for us who miss the N64 on occassion.
6660 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Don't be fooled by this game's relatively crude graphics. Since this is a first-generation Gameboy game, I can let that slide. The music and sound f/x are good for the GB, but what makes this game shine is the gameplay...classic Super Mario gameplay with some new ideas (traveling via submarine and airplane). The last fight (the one with Tatanga) is more of a shooter, but still this is a very fun game. A word of advice...do NOT be fooled by the crude graphics! This game is a blast!
The gameplay matches that of Final Fantasy VI (FFIII in the US), but the controller for the playstation adds a new stability element to control. The battle system is very simple any [person] can win random battles with the clean interface. Also, the Materia System (magic system) is very user freindly and gives the character's powers that you can almost feel you now posess yourself.
You want to know how bad this game is....? They use cut scenes for the final kill, thus killing any sense of pay off! And you can't even skip through the intro level! Hello? This was a cult game... So lots of people know how to play it and don't need this hand holding to be mandatory!
6498 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Very good deal for the price
3372 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Dino Crisis was released way back in 1999 on the playstation. It was directed by the same director of the original Resident Evil. (and producer of the next 2)
623 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm 23 now, got the game when it first came out when I was around 12. Still the bet snowboarding game of all time. So much fun that I still get the n64 out here and there simply to play this game. Has a time attack mode, trick mode, racing series, and a mixture of them all. Just a great classic that rates up their with 007 Goldeneye for classic N64 games that could last forever for those every now and then gamers like myself. Great game...that's highly reccomended.
Blown away would be an understatement.
With a fresh story-line (at the time), new monsters, and just about everything that makes the early RE games good...If you haven't played it, it is worth checking it out.
Both the above have tons and tons of updates, new tracks, complete makeovers, and more websites devoted than any racing sim released since.
9461 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Arrived in better condition than expected; works great
People have compared Spyro the Dragon to everything from Crash Bandicoot to Banjo-Kazooie to Nights, and... who knows what else. Well, I think the first Spyro game is JUST as good as all those games. In fact, Spyro the Dragon is better than the first Crash Bandicoot game. Now THERE'S a game that disappointed me. Spyro came out of nowhere and RULED right from the beginning. I never would have guessed back in 1998 that Spyro would have went on to become a classic.
The main game is connecting 3 of the same color. It's Puyo Puyo but with an American Sonic theme. There's a VS mode, a Training mode (Which is like playing solo in Tetris), and a Story mode that pits you against Dr. Robotnik's half-baked robots.
3. Great high-tech tools to use, impressive vehicles to drive and fly, creative use of everyday objects. When you pick items up, they zoom off the screen into your inventory with a whooshing sound. The inventory feature is exceptionally easy to use.
I adore history, so it was a treat to be in a scenario with William Wallace and Joan of Arc. You see the real life locations they had to fight through, and you save the day with your own activities. The locations span the globe, keeping things interesting.
Clever puzzles are disguised as Riven's natural habitat.
2644 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Game Boy Color is the best portable gaming system around. It's made all my plane trips go by a lot faster, and for me, that makes it worth the reasonable price. There are hundreds of games out for the Game Boy Color, and many more to come. There are games in all genres, including Adventure, Arcade, Fighting, Racing, Sports, and RPG-- start your GBC Collection with Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Tetris DX, the two classics. It's small enough to put in your jacket pocket, and the game cartridges are tiny. The only problem is that you can't play it in the dark because it isn't backlit, so you have to buy an extra light to attach onto it. But cons aside, the Game Boy Color is a great investment for hours of entertainment-- at least until summer 2001, when the Game Boy Advance comes out (which will also play Game Boy Color and Game Boy Games). But until then, I recommend the Game Boy Color to Kids and Adults alike!
3315 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Resident Evil 2 by itself was an outstanding entry in the survival horror genre. The T-Virus has taken over Raccoon City, and you play as either Claire Redfield or Leon Kennedy in a desperate attempt to make it out alive. The graphics, sound, and intentionally stiff controls make gameplay a tense and often nerve-wracking experience, and the intricate storyline draws you in while throwing zombies and other bizzare mutations at you. Plus, after you finish one game, you can go back and play as the other character and experience events from their perspective. Then do the whole thing in reversed order, for up to four different gameplay experiences. And thats not counting the secret missions and other bonus goodies.
One of the original concepts behind the game was that the main character was supposed to be "non-violent", but that isn't entirely the case as there is violence of a sort. The main character just isn't directly violent. But this is one of the highlights of the game, not a detraction (as I, and most gamers, would normally consider it to be). You can't just plow your way through levels: you have to think, watch, time your actions, and adapt to the challenges. But, when you do get those few opportunities to just gun your way through a level (or fart, as it may be), it only makes it that much more fun.
Perfect dark has more replay value than any game ever created. The combat simulator is prcticaly a game of it's own, more on that later. The solo misions in perfect dark are great lots of variety not too hard but not too easy. The a.i. in the game is superb. The guards are incredibly inteligent if you shoot there gun out of there hands (you will even hear them say "Oh no my gun") they will pull out a pistol or may even go for your gun.
PS. save your heath pack you are going to need them.

8547 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best RPG's, one of the best Mario games, or any video game on any system, ever. It stands the test of time and has the best of both worlds w/nintendo and SS.
929 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Golden eye, games that are coming out now owe their controls to golden eye. Based on the movie, the game is truly hard hiting gameplay action that is super fun. This game is a very great shooting game. One of the best shooting game of all time, golden eye has a great story, and goes along with the new 007 games that are coming out. Redifine the origin by playing this game if you haven't. Sure the graphics aren't that great but dude, its nitendo 64. They should remake this game and other classic 64 games for nitendo gamecube. If you still play 64 (god have mercy) you will also love perfect dark.
6477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is excellent! If you are in need of a game to keep you busy and excited get Medal of Honor. This game has decent graphics but the sound is awesome. Music goes on while you nervously walk down pathways and German soldiers pop out from another pathway and blow you up with a bazooka. The game is quite challenging. It takes awhile to finish because as the game progresses the soldiers become very difficult to defeat because they think strategically. Very good game! Buy it as soon as possible.
Storyline 4 out of 5.
CASTLE AND REVERSE CASTLE: Now if you just rush through the game without exploring all the area, you will not get to challenge the real main boss of the game. To do so you have to explore the castle throughly, meet certain conditions and unlock the REVERSE CASTLE, which is practically a reverse version of castle you play, but with tougher enemies and more awesome bosses. I can't tell you much without spoiling, but it is not hard to do. You just have to know something.
1993 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Gameplay: You play Fox McCloud, a fighter pilot for Starfox, and you're at war with the forces of the evil Andross. It's more or less a rail shooter, but there's some free-roaming flight to be had at various points through the game. One of the best features of Starfox is that progression is non-linear. Your actions in each mission directly affect how you proceed through the game. For instance, if you defuse the bomb on one level, you go one route. If you fail, you end up playing a different level.
Those were brutally hard times for all involved with so much pain. The parents divorced and the dad got his own house. In the midst of that, the boy's dad bought him an N64, along with "Super Mario 64" and "Star Wars, Shadows of the Empire". For me, this game is forever tied up into that emotionally turbelent period in our lives, because both my friend and myself would play this for hours and hours just to escape the hollowness and the pain we both felt at what was going on around us. That, my friends, is the power of Super Mario.
2654 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Now most people will read the title and think he must talking about the game. After all this is the third game in the Alpha series. No, I called this review that because this is my third copy of Alpha 3 lol. I had the Alpha Anthology first, then I got Alpha 3 Max on the PSP, now I have this. So, why get this game. Simply put I have an arcade stick and I want to play it with that on my PS3. So, I had to buy it again in order to do that. This game plays like and dream and looks great. I am impressed at how well the PS1 handled this game. It looks like the Anthology version which I would assume is the best, just because the hardward in more advanced. You really cannot tell the difference between the two other than load times existing in this version and not in that one. Ima keep this brief if you like Street Fighter you need to own this. This really needs to be a game Capcom puts online. I don't know if there is much of an out cry for it but there should be. Its up there to me as one of the all time greats. With Capcom vs SNK 2 and other great 2-D games of that era. Its fun, its bright and viberant its just one of the best SF games ever made period.
Other Aspects: This is a first-person adventure game; you move around using the arrow-keys on the keyboard. Once you get the hang of them, you can move very quickly. The game also has a map of the ship, and certain areas are highlighted so that you can instantly "jump" to them without having to run there yourself. (When the ship is sinking, this "jumping" feature is disabled) The graphics in this game are good; the biggest problem with them is that when you move they blur for a split second. However, if there are newer versions, this might be cleared up.
Cons:
The graphical engine was very good. 2D characters and 3D environments that can be rotated at will. I like nuances, and Grandia possesses many. I like knocking over teapots and making clotheslines as I walk into them. The spell effects were boring, however, and the FMV, while technically good at the time, just wasn't exciting.
3352 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Dino Crisis is a great game -- lots of excitement, suspense, and action. It doesn't fail there. I beat it in four days (seven hours playing time), though, so definitely rent it first.
9937 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow! Who would have guessed Castlevania Bloodlines is actually in my opinion at least, one of the finest Genesis games ever and easily one of the best Castlevania games ever? I'm totally not kidding with you guys! Talk about getting the surprise of my life tonight. This game does a LOT of things right. In fact it does just about *every* thing right. It's better than all the NES Castlevania games which isn't easy for me to say considering how much I love Castlevania III in particular, and it's leagues better than the Super NES game Bloodlines is constantly compared to for unfair reasons (Dracula X). Dare I go to the extreme and say it's possibly even a notch better than Super Castlevania IV? Oh yeah, it just might be! I'll tell you exactly why Bloodlines is a masterpiece below.

7504 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This is a superb shooting game with lots of realism and strategy incoprorated. Graphics are great as is choice of team-mates and weaponary. I guess that it pretty realstic in a lot of ways as your team mates get in your way, and the terrorists are not as stupid as they are on some other games - they will shoot at you as soon as they see you. But there are times when you shoot at a terrorist and he doesn't die but shoots you instead. It seems to be a problem with the game. There are lots or really weird glitches too. You see dead terrorists levitating and half of them stuck through walls and their legs hanging down through the roof etc. I find it irritating that the designers take so much care to make tyres go down when you shoot them, and different sounds when you shoot a bed or a window, but then so little detail is given to other aspects such as the lights which don't go out if you shoot them. I have never seen lights like that. "Goldeneye" has lights that pop so why doesn't this? A lot of this game is just too difficult to win at. In addition, you get a mission such as the one at the datcha where you must avoid detection - this is really difficult. The idea is to plant a bug and a camera and leave as though you've never even been there. You can go round and shoot al the windows out and still complete the level...and no one will notice that there are windows missing, glass everywhere and bullet holes in the walls? My point is, if you are going to go for realism then go all the way, or not at all. My low rating for this game is due to the problems I have had playing it on the PC. I think it's a game with really great potential, but you end up waiting all the time while the computer makes grinding sounds which freeze your action, but while you are frozen it really impedes playability and you end up getting shot because you can't react. Unplayable due to this, and I have a powerful computer, so that's not the problem. This is overambitious for the PC market, and there are things that need rethinking to make it a better game.

Sound: Not much to say here. The sfx and bgm are adequate. Nothing outstanding or horrible. However, Trent Reznor's work is not in this port.
Long live N64.........
1968 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In my opinion, it's one of the best N64 games. It holds firm against the test of time, something you can't say about other games from its era.
Now, the sheer beauty of the visuals wouldn't mean anything if there weren't a solid game backing them up. Thankfully, there absolutely is. Gameplay-wise, Aladdin can be best described as a platformer. However, it takes more than enough deviations from the established tropes of the genre to craft a memorable experience. Instead of jumping on enemies to dispatch of them, Aladdin wields a sword to slice his enemies to bits (ok, it's not THAT graphic. This is Disney, after all), or throws apples at foes, which he collects throughout the levels. Personally, I prefer the swordplay here. I mean, who wouldn't? The apples definitely have their uses, though, and become absolutely indispensable for some of the boss fights.
485 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Tomb Raider was one of the first games I completed and it was tough. Really challenging throughout and educational, one of the most intriguing and fun games to pass while shooting at random things and at Dinosaurs and Bears and other animals, really great!
The characters were developed nicely, each having their own background story which adds to your liking and caring about each of your character in your party. You can easily put 50+ hours in the game and also there are whats called Bromides to collect. Bromides are anime pictures in the game which you can collect throughout your travels-I believe there are 12 in all.
You can design your own rollercoasters, water rides, go kart rides, etc. It's a great game to get into, but just be aware that you'll want to keep playing once you've started.
The story goes pretty much like this: an evil sorceress is on the verge of enslavement of the world and a resistance to defeat this woman called Garden trains military soldiers called SeeDs to battle against her and her troops. pretty lame sounding, as seed and garden are really actually one of those ideas that a first grader could come up with in about 5 minutes, but the story actually picks up at about disk three (yes it is pretty slow).
Sound 7/10
You can choose to be one of 8 Nintendo characters, from Mario and Luigi to the Princess, Donkey Kong Jr., or Yoshi. The object is the same as any other racing game, be the first to complete the race, in this case five laps. Along the way, you can pick up objects to help you and hinder others like turtle shells, banana peels, or the invincibility star. Keep winning, and you move up.
SHADOW LADY
7073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ok i will start with the bad. The controls and camera angles are a bit jumpy and hard to work with. Now the good. This is just an extremely fun game. Enough said!
-While there are seven different characters to choose from, some of the stories are weak
On a related note: Sadly, this game is hard to find, and even harder to find is it's expansion pack, 'Pirate's Moon', which gets a rating every bit as good as MW3 from this Mechwarrior.
875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is this is the first strategy game I have ever liked that I played, so maybe I'm partial to it ... but I love it! I don't understand why some people are so crushed when their "favorite" game series puts out a bad game. It's not that big of a deal. For all you Red Alert buffs, Red Alert 2 will be out soon so chill out for a minute. There are a ton of different strategies to play this game with so it becomes extremely addictive. Once you get the basics down ... the sky is pretty much the limit on strategies you can use so this adds replay value to the game. It will definitely keep you busy until the next installment by Westwood. The online play is great and easy to use. I haven't even played the single player game because I just can't get enough of the online play. So unlike the other people who are saying they hate it (but they probably still play it often), I like it an awful lot.
The graphics on this game were absolutely amazing for their time when this game came out somewhere around in 1994-ish. While it's definately a bit dated by today's standards the first X-Men game was the best Marvel COmic video game that I ever got to play.
The bad: the controllers (even when brand new in box), it's kind of unreliable (sometimes I have to flip mine upside down with certain discs), it's loud (really loud), library is too small.
8229 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rented this game back in the day. Wanted to own a copy so i can play it at home. I think i played this game in the arcade at a Putt Putt shortly after its release. Get this game if you are into racing games.
Best of the series. More challenging levels play as: Diddy Kong, or Dixie Kong(Dixie can fly when she is in the air, her hair can do a helicoptor. This game is very fun, the levels where you have to go in the ocean are more fun in this game, if you are a person who likes action packed games this is the one for you!
1200 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this for my son. He's very happy with it.
The A.I. is no pushover, characters react like they should and limp around when shot in the arm or leg. Death animations add to the realism, so it doesn't seem like you're shooting wave after wave of cardboard cutouts like in many of todays FPS games.
249 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excelent product!!!
8338 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game wasn't all that bad. The Graphics were poor to the point that i couldn't see any secret areas. The controls were very good. The concept was great and the game (minus the graphics) itself was great, but the graphics messed it up. I hope Rare re-makes this game for the advance, for it could be a major hit.
Music: 9.4
***** HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION
This game is rated E for Everyone and contains cartoon-style violence.
In fact, Ive got the game and its really decent sequel to the classic.
From the beautiful melodic haunting soundtrack to the creepy noises and the silence that had my heart and pulse constantly racing when I first played it.
2641 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay if you asked me now I'd say go with Gameboy advanced. However, the price is right on Gameboy color, and it is still certainly still one of the best handheld systems. I had a lot of fun with the Poke'mon games, and also talking to gameboy for several hours a day. He'll make a fine companion to anyone living alone in the cold depths of endless solitude. 5 stars definately.
Mission Mode
Hidden armor pieces for mega man and hidden life power ups for both, Zero and Mega man.
Score: 5 out of 5
Gameplay: The ever-present annoyance for gamers and it all comes down to the Junction system. Each game has had different ways on how characters played the game. From the Esper system to Materia to the Sphere Grid, characters levelled up uniquely from game to game. VIII's different in that for one thing we don't have MP anymore. You "draw" it from enemies, getting 1 to around 5 or so spells to use with the limit being 100. While it is annoying that you can have a finite number of spells, I like the idea of junctioning them to your stats to make them more powerful or adding resistance to a certain spell or status effect.
9686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game to make my long commute home more tolerable. I can't believe how much I love it. It's great because you can quickly learn the basics of playing as you get the hang of it. Then, you keep playing and figuring out new ways to get better so it's never boring or too easy.
8612 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What I love about this game is that you can decide on if you want to test drive the courses alone and just go for a joy ride or you can race and set the difficulty level. I love this game!! You can choose between Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Yoshi (fave), Bowser, Donkey Kong Jr, Toad, and Koopa Troopa. Going with one of the smaller characters always works in your favor as they seem to move faster.
7130 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came as described and plays well
As you may have heard, there are minigames in Mario Party that require rotating the control stick. Doing this can lead to blisters on the palm of your hand. In fact, Nintendo realized this and was almost about to recall every copy of Mario Party. But instead, Nintendo released a statement to the public that they would send a glove to prevent blisters if you send them the cover of Mario Party's instruction manual.
3309 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Loved playing this game when I was like 10 or 11. Bought this in college and it's still so good. But when you get older it's so much easier to beat, making it better to play all the story modes.
Now on to the game's weak spots. One bad point in RPGs are the random battles. You'd better be prepared to fight a lot of battles but you need to anyway, because the GFs need a lot of points to learn certain things, and the only way to get them is to fight, and if you want good characters, you need to fight and get experience points. But don't be fooled, not a lot of areas beside the World Map have random encounters. Another weak point is that to get EXP and Ability Points, you will need to fight a lot of fights, which can get quite tedious. But besides this, I doubt you could easily find a game better than FFVIII. It is an RPG that you shouldn't avoid, even if you never played too many RPGs or aren't extremely good at video games.
3. Music. This is only title other than Chrono Cross that made me buy Soundtrack. The composer gave his best to capture the feeling of this game and raise the level.
Or how about when you arrive to the hospital? You enter a hospital and no one is around. Once again, everything is quiet. It's not so scary, but it's definitely eerie, and it makes you cautious. You think about what might be ahead of you. You don't want to explore this hospital but you HAVE to if you want to finish the game. You look outside the hospital window to see snow still falling to the ground, just as it was before you entered the hospital. Not so scary, but MAYBE I would feel better if I could find someone. This hospital is just a LITTLE too empty for me!
Sturdy
If you are buying this game to relive some childhood memories, I recommend not buying it because you're going to ruin some good memories. Just keep it as memories, don't relive it because you might see it differently.
RE3 did improve and add some great new features. Such as... The new "dodge" feature that really adds to the gameplay and helps a ton when your in combat. It took Capcom 3 games to finally add the 180 degree spin; which enables you to turn around quickly and run to avoid danger. I also liked the new "Gun powder" mixing feature, which enables you to create ammunition for your weapons. There is a lot of action and surprises in the game. Adding the interactive environmental objects (explosive barrels, etc.) was a nice feature and really helped in difficult situations. I did really like the outdoor environment in the game. I thought that was a nice break-away from the first two games. And finally, you don't need to press the action button to go up or down a flight of stairs.
8782 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Once you get past the beginning and figure out how to leave town "Illusion of Gala" from then on is a five star adventure that echos "Secret of Mana" and the Nintendo masterpeice "The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past". The soundtrack is intense when it needs to be, however it is wonderfully mellow and enjoyable most often. Truly one of the great video game soundtracks from the unforgettable ~SNES~ days. If you love RPG's and I know you do or you most likely wounldn't be on this page, you'll love this game. It has now become a classic treasure to many. Remember this if your just getting started with the game, the beginning is a long and drawn out intro. Don't get frustrated it's easy to figure out just more reading than sword swinging. The battles are just around the corner and the adventure is worth all the story that wraps around it.
A lot of patience and intelligence is needed to solve the puzzles and put the clues together. A lot of reading and note-taking is required and those looking for shoot-em-ups and violence should look elsewhere.
5164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Ah yes, the legendary Metal Gear Solid series. It was originally a classic on the MSX2 computer in Japan, but the series became really good when it debuted on the PlayStation. Developed and published by Konami with Hideo Kojima being the director and producer, this was the first game in the series to become very popular. The games ground breaking graphics, addicting gameplay, challenging stealth action and its amazing storyline heavily influenced games that would later produce well detailed story lines. It was originally released on PlayStation, but would be re-released on the PlayStation Store as a PS One Classic, a remake on the GameCube and there was even a port on Game Boy Color which apparently got good reviews (I find that hard to believe, Ill have to check that out some day).
ac
the first game with computer graphics, if you grew up with it you remember. if you didn't, you need to buy it purely for its educational value
4068 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is lots of fun. i reccomend it to kids who love to figure out how to put something together. this game is loaded with education on how to spend your money wisely and how to construct things. it is a fun learning game.
7255 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A very well made game. It has so much to do, if you put it down half way through, it's like playing a whole new game when you get back to it. It's also true to the series, which is always good to see. Check out the Donkey Kong Country series for more fun.
1349 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is everything I thought It would be. It was the first game I got when I got my n64 and it was great
6444 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is so much better then AoE. First it has super graphics, and great gameplay. It is very replayable, b/c it comes with a random map generator. There are only a couple problems; on my 333mgz, 32ram it gets pretty slow after you get to around 70 units. Also it can get sort of boring if you play it a lot. All in all, this game was worth its money. I suggeset that you buy it.
#5: Speed Shoes (gives you power to run, used to get certain relics)
Even the mask salesman side quest is very interesting and unique. While many wouldn't bother to complete it, but the reward is the very cool and mysterious "Mask of Truth". Furthermore, this side quest is slightly more significant considering that the masks are the focal point in the follow up "Majoras' Mask".
2295 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The reason I am rating this game 2 stars is because this game is ok not what I expected this game to be thought it was gonna be fun
9613 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 He's a basketball player, yet Shaquille O'Neal made it so big with his basketball career that he thought that he could expose his name in the mid 90's. Shaq Diesel anyone? That was hilarious. Now look what Shaq came up with: a fighting game. Just by having the biggest name on the front of the cover tells enough what the quality of this game really comes out to.

Metro Madness: also Self-Explanitory. A drive through the city streets at top speed, and an interesting shortcut that literally lets you drive through a hotel.
4467 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Original "Starcraft" was a fantastic game. One of the top three best RTS games I have played. It had great maps and scenerios and great units and species. For those of you who are not familiar with the game, the original had too do with three species: The Terran(Humans) who have lived upon several planets in a solar system after there space ships crashed many years before stranding thousands of people. The Prottos, a powerfull race form a planet "Auir" armed with powerfull physical weapons and devastating Phsycic weapons. And Finally the Zerg. A vicious race controlled by a center mastermind know as the "Overmind", who travel across the universe incorpirating every worthy race into there species or destroying them.
3079 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I played this it was magic. Journey back to the mid-life of the PlayStation. No, not the PlayStation 2, the original PlayStation. Yes, to the kids who were born just before the release of the PlayStation 2 and are now reviewing FFVII against games on the PS2 and Xbox, there really was a previous version of the PS2. It was a greyish top loading CD based (yes! CD!) system with no USB or iLink (FireWire/1394 for the PC crowd). After the end of Final Fantasy games on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System by Nintendo (yes, there really was a system called SNES that came before the Game Cube and for you old foagies among us, the N64 (Nintendo 64)) Final Fantasy finally got the 3D treatment for the first time. Or at least the characters did. The backgrounds were pre-rendered textures. That is the backgrounds weren't true 3D, they were rendered on a computer in 3D and then a snapshot of them at a certain angle was taken and slapped behind characters who were complete 3D rendered internally by the original PlayStation (remember, the system that came from Sony before the PS2). Only because the PlayStation couldn't render fully 3D extremely detailed environments by itself. Up until FFVII, which, by the way, was not the first Final Fantasy to be developed (there were other 2D (two-dimensional) offerings that only people who are long dead or are old and senile will remember, ask your great, great, great grandfather if he remembers playing Final Fantasy on his Nintin'do Entur-Tain'Mant Sih'stim back in the trenches during WWII), there was a real worry that Squaresoft (as Square-Enix was called back then) really had abandoned Final Fantasy games in favor of simple graphic demos on completely unknown systems like the N64. Not so. Those demos were actually distractions from the truth. That Square-Enix... errr... I mean, Squaresoft was readying its Final Fantasy XII demo called Final Fantasy VII on the equally unknown PlayStation (or as some Amish like to call it, the PSX). But at that time the network feature wasn't fully implemented which made for a lonely playing experience for some already lonely and pathetic super-nerds out there. But for us old timers it was a blast seeing Final Fantasy in 3D finally. However, we didn't get the demo but unfortunately we got the fully playable game. Which was great in and of itself. Because it showed what was possible with the Final Fantasy franchise which wouldn't be fully realized until late 2004 when all gamers finally proclaim in one voice "What? Another Final Fantasy game? I thought they discontinued it back when Roman caesars ruled the known reality/universe and mammoths roamed computer generated alien landscapes". Oh well, anything before Doom 3 is going to vanish from the collective memory of computer-gamedom anyway so don't play this because you won't be able to. It's just too alien an experience for today's DDR generation (oh, for those fetuses unfamiliar with DDR it's "Dance Dance Revolution" and it's what today's elderly play when their hips aren't healing fast enough).
892 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I like this game.
874 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Okay I admit it, the two main reasons I bought this game are James Earl Jones and Michael Biehn, whom I believe are bloody great. However, the game in itself is lots of fun. I'm making my way through the GDI games at the moment, and having a good time!
The Zerg are spreading across the galaxy trying to find the next stage of their evolution, in this case it's the humans whom they plan to absorb in order to gain psionics. The Protoss, aware of the Zerg Overmind and his plans to infest the human colonies, dispatch one of the greatest warrior templars-Tassadar, to deal with the threat. But when he discovers that the humans have potential, he refuses to incinerate the infested planets. The Terrans meanwhile are in the midst of the revolution as Governor Mensk intends on becoming Emperor Mensk by leading a renegade faction of humans known as the Sons Of Korhol. The game also introduces a host of unforgettable characters like Tassadar, Fenix, James Raynor, and Sarah Kerrigan.
It's easy to punch holes in the ridiculous plot, but that doesn't affect the entertainment value - again just like with Indy, you know it's stupid, but you're more than willing to suspend disbelief just to go along with the wild ride. Getting through the levels is not always easy; you'll need to sharpen both your combat and puzzle-solving skills. There's also a lot of replay value owing to the oftentimes diabolically-hidden "secrets," which usually contain caches of weapons and the infamous "medi-paks."
you happen to be a JRPG nut like I am, I can guarantee you that this game does not
What are you talking about? This game is CLEARLY not even finished. Do you know how many glitches, bugs, and excruciating errors I found while playing this game? Hundreds. The sickest part? I didn't go out of my way to find them. They came to me. The character models look ridiculous, nobody has anything interesting to say no matter where you are in the game, the battles are boring and unworthy to the franchise's name, and you'll be lucky if you can even make it to the end without exploiting a glitch or two. Or ten. Not only that, but the game is WAY too easy. I literally played through the entire game--story and all--in less than 20 hours. In that time, I never once died or even lost a member of my party (if you're not counting Aeris, seeing as she dies in a cutscene). And hey, if you're having trouble with something, just exploit one of the hundreds of glitches in this game to allow yourself the ability to walk through walls, gain infinite money and items, level your entire party up to 99 in a single fight, deal millions of damage to an enemy with a single hit, or even reset every single in-game switch so you can replay absolutely everything in the game over again with all the stats, items, and equipment you already have. But seriously, who the hell would play through THIS monstrosity anything more than once? This unfinished, broken piece of cow dung is not worth the time.
5719 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy VIII combines a fantastic story, amazing visuals, and excellent sound with solid RPG gameplay, an eminently tweakable junction system, and scads of secrets and extras. Cast all fears aside: this Final Fantasy is one of the greatest game ever to bear the name. Jody Bissoon
I'll list the pros and cons to give you a fair rundown
Ride Like the Wind
2495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Supersmash Bros. , is one of the most fun N64 games. It has few problems which include not the best graphics and lack of replay value. You will have an exellent time playing though (I recomend playing as Donkey Kong), overall its hard not to like. A great game check it out.

For the people who are true nitendo fans this is a classic that you can add to your 64 libary. I still have my 64 and it works great so does the games, Starfox is worth a try laterz folks.
the collection itself: you get a music CD, the random battle screen is like FF7 and 8's random battle loading screen, FF6 has a bonus menu for looking at stats on enemies, has CGI cinemas, FF5 is pretty much like the Super NES (or should I say Super Famicom) version with just the exception of Random Battle loading screens and PSone style Opening Cinema and no extra bonuses because the game was never released in the USA and Square probably wanted people to experience it without a huge bunch of bonus features.
If you're an avid gamer, yet you've never played this game, then something's really wrong with you. Pick this game up and play it 'till your fingers fall off (which I guarantee you'll do). This game is worth buying and owning for as long as you even are alive.
Instead of the old pixel-based systems, where graphics were drawn dot by dot (and therefore looked very fuzzy on high quality monitors), newer games are done with actual objects being drawn. Dungeon Keeper 2 is an example of this. With an object having sides and textures and angles, it will look crisp no matter how high you resolve the screen. Also, objects of this type can easily be modified to react to game events.
Confession: Back in the day, I never played the 2-player mode in Tetris, and to this day, I still haven't. Who had GameBoy Link Cables prior to to the existence of Pokemon? I'm sure it's fun, but I cannot speak to its quality.
Harvest Moon 64
The player assumes the roles of Gabriel Knight and Grace Nakimura, both private investigators, in a small village called Rennes-Le-Chateau. The village is steeped in history due it being the suspected locality of the Holy Grail. Gabriel has been assigned a mission by Prince James, a wealthy businessman, whose son had been kidnapped whilst in the vicinity of the area. As Gabriel gradually uncovers more about the mystery of the kidnapped child, he concomitantly delves into a turbulent, violent world of treasure hunting, vampires, religion, riddles, shady characters and murder. It is a real pleasure to witness this fantastic story unfold, despite it being rather slow in unraveling.
-Squaresoft Advertised the game as something it is not.
Wow. That was fun. Hoo-boy!
6046 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This seems more like Grand Theft Auto 2.0. Much of the gameplay is the same and the missions not much different. The graphics have improved and the sound is better but if you have the original then there isn't much point in buying this.
Anyway, SP is DEFINETLY worth playing through, unlike some games.
At the time I thought these graphics were the greatest thing ever. The transition of Mario from the NES to SNES was exceptional. Basically, I think the graphics fit the game perfectly. Just like most RPG's you move screen to screen with different surroundings at every turn. From mountains and caves, to oceans and jungles, its all here. The character models in this game are excellent and the pseudo 3D graphic feel is really cool. Lastly, the battle animations and lighting effects are awesome. Just look at Geno's Ultimate attack or Mario's fireball, and tell me that is not cool. There are those that feel that the graphics are too ''kiddy.'' I for one have never understood that term. I suppose a true example of ''kiddy'' graphics would be Yoshi's Island for the SNES. Do I think that the graphics are bad because of that? Absolutely not... The overall graphic environment provides a great setting and plenty of emotion.
The Dreamcast has a reletively small gaming library compared to other systems due to its short life-span, but you can double that if you get the converter software to play Japanese games (you may also need to learn a bit of Japanese for a lot of those non US-released imports). Either way, there are plenty of gems that make the Dreamcast well worth getting. I'm still in the process of building up my library and playing through the games, but here are my recommendations thus far...
It has fast action! Fast pace baby! The way I like it.
6811 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Obviously highly anticipated second STH game that is revered as the best Sonic game ever but that's up for you to decide between all the others that follow. Introduces you to a seventh Chaos emerald along with the ability to become super Sonic and a new playable character, tails 'miles' prower (miles per hour hahaha). Robotnik's at it again and it's up to Sonic and his buddy Tails (or not depending if you play without tails or as him) have to stop him by collecting all the Chaos emeralds and stopping Robotnik from completing his ultimate weapon, the Death Egg. Travel through new stages and special stages in the second installment in the Sonic series which are sure to give you a run for your money. Again, to own a Genesis is to own all the Sonic games.

4454 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The title says it all. This game has a feel of magical and fantastical proportions. From the graphics, to the music, to the units. Everything lends to an atmosphere unrivaled in any other game.
*Lots of Power Ups
4201 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Over the last 10 years that I first installed STARCRAFT I have replayed it countless of times. Every time a new overhyped game disappoints me, this is one of the games I pull out of my library to be reminded what a GREAT PC GAME LOOKS & PLAYS LIKE! (others include UNREAL, BALDUR's GATE, GRIM FANTANGO and SHOGUN:TOTAL WAR)
Still very popular with hundreds of potential opponents online.
There is also the groundpound aka buttstomp and other confusing jumps. Also, Mario can pick up and throw various items, climb walls using the wall jump,and punch and kick.
My recommendation is to pick up Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge instead. You have subweapons, less difficult jumps, a better soundtrack overall, and weapon downgrades have been checked significantly. Pick that one up if you're looking for classic GameBoy action!
6307 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an RPG with style. In fact, it has more style than all the other Infinity Engine games combined. The story is creative, enthralling, and very astounding. The characters are original and highly interactive. You can see that a writer designed this game.
*UPDATE*
- Top-Down RPG
If you can't enjoy VIII, chances are it is because of it's overall story. I've talked to people who thought it was "gay" or "just plain boring," and if you feel that, then I kind of pity you. You're missing out on a great adventure.
7. Frustratingly, you have to fight several boss monsters twice because they never seem to die. Having to "kill" the same boss monster over and over again makes you feel like you're going in circles.
Cons:
Trick type: Slow but with good air and handling.
- Pretty good sound track for a fighter
7886 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I got this for Christmas from my grandmother back in 1996. I remember seeing the commercial for this game and the dancing woman who ended being a Kong caught me off guard. But when I played it didn't impress me as much as they first two. I did enjoy it and beat it but only the first fight against Baron K. Roolenstein. After that I lost interest in it. Finally twenty years later I finally got interested in playing again. Now thanks to youtube I was able to finally beat 103%. Although it still it isn't a great as the first and second one it still is enjoyable game. This is one of the last SNES games and it did hold up and its commercial is awesome.
Midway thought they really had something going when they created Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It featured nearly EVERYBODY from the previous Mortal Kombat games. How can it be bad? Well, besides the reasons I mention above, the Playstation version is murdered with INCREDIBLE amounts of loading times. People can say the Playstation was a bad system when it came to loading all they want, but the fact remains Mortal Kombat Trilogy is quite possibly the most annoying game when it comes to waiting to play the freaking thing. Sometimes you have to wait almost a minute before the game *finally* loads the fight screen. And the fighting is so bad (because the entire Mortal Kombat series up until this point is severely dated and horrible) that the loading times are actually the part I look forward to the most.
3323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I wish they would remake this for new consoles, the original game is so amazing but looks terrible on my 60" television. : )
This game is a marvel in storytelling. One that truly goes on the top 5 alltime greats list!
1962 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 fantastic game, worth the price.
I find this game was very well thought out. The harvesting wall alone adds very much to the story. (A shield boundary that you can't pass.) As you progress through the game you get newer weapons and vehicles of that time period. Its rewarding when you stumble across a tank and then in turn wreak havoc on all aliens that you come to. Planes,boats,bikes, firetrucks you name it this game has that vehicle.

In Arcade mode, there were about 5 or 6 difficulty modes. In Mortal Kombat on the SNES, I played well on it. In Mortal Kombat 2 on Game Boy, I was able to tackle Hard mode. In Mortal Kombat 4 for Game Boy, I can beat Master mode, but that version of this game was too easy. Here, I got my butt kicked even on Normal mode! The game is pretty challenging, but I think if a player's good enough, he can whop through easily.
5157 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just got this game today and the nostalgia kicks in :) I have seen my bro play it so many times and when he didn't have it anymore, I had to buy this game and play it for myself :) I want to try and play every single game in the series :)
5143 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought this game a while ago and would like to say that I think it's fantastic. I watched my big sister play it back in the late 90's early 2000's and I was just a little kid then and couldn't fit the controller in my hands. But when I bought it back in September of 2014 and played it. I was amazed. And it had good graphics for its time and console. And my favorite part (like in any other game) was the story. It tied in well with the older Metal Gears before they were Metal Gear Solid and I loved the whole experiance. And with what I think is two different endings, it has some good replay value.
9927 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Altered Beast is a game that early on in the Sega Genesis' era, came with the system. You are playing as a character ( or characters in 2 player mode) that have been resurrected. You go through the game fighting various enemies, such as zombies,creatures,demons/ghouls,ect...As you play through each level. You encounter herds of oxen. When you see the blue ox, you must hit it to get a "power up". Your character becomes bigger & more powerful. After several blue ox encounters, you'll have transformed into a beast with powers! Each level you become a different beast. The 1st level you are the beast on the cover...A ware wolf type dude. Next level you are a dragon, then the 3rd level a bear,ect... It's a pretty basic and repetitive, yet fun game. When it first came out (on arcade and Sega consoles) it was a great hit! It still holds up pretty good for how old it is. The controls are simple. The music & sound effects are catchy. I'd recommend this game to anyone that enjoys old school classic games,sci-fi games,rpgs,fighter/beat'em up type of games.
Final note, yes this is less game like and more interactive TV but, the game is well worth it. For fun, there are many kinds of endings. It's the only Full motion Video I've ever seen for PS/PS2. If you're willing to watch a stupid overpriced movie on your PSP why not interact with this X-files game? Some people are just never happy... If you're an X-files fan, love movies and tv, this game was designed for you.
The heart of the game is its tactical combat system, which is by far the best that I've seen in any fantasy game. Maneuver plays a big part in it: Using your faster units to circle around and hit your opponent's archers. Using your slower melee units to screen your archers from his troops. Using the terrain to set up "kill zones" that you can lure your opponent into. It will take a little getting used to, so expect to loose your first few battles until you figure out how things work.
3579 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't know what the problem is for the other people. I have a 266 Mhz PII w/64 Megs of RAM and a Voodoo 2 12 MB graphics card. The thing runs great. The framerates are excellent at 640x480. If I run it in 1024X768 then it gets choppy if it is raining or snowing. Nothing new there. Too much oversteer on the cars? I don't think so. I have slid my real car on dry pavement and it's about the same. ('98 Contour ... (0.82 G skidpad)) I personally think the game kicks some butt. I think that there is a hardware compatibility problem for the other people. You need the most up to date glide drivers you can get. Just an opinion. By the way, I have NFS1,2, and 3, so this is old news for me. You have to have a proportional input device for steering or you will do very poor, however, you can use the keyboard for the accelerator. (you just have to be more careful, because it's either on or off)
1543 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 this game is very old, but today its still just as good as any tekan, streetfighter or mortal combat. The only down side is the controls are a little different then most games.
NEMESIS:
4081 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to say that even a long time after it's release, this game still keeps me entertained. The graphics are great, the atmosphere is amazing, the AI is incredible! Altogether one excellent game. There are loads of different puzzles, and there isn't any faffing around with end of level bosses.
994 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you grew up on N64 and Still love gaming: You will still love Mario Kart 64. Play This game.
You start out with a small spaceship (don't know the names that well not much of a star wars fan) and you use your laser guns to kill the small two legged robots (at-st?) and these ropes to entangle and destroy the big ones. Than for the next two levels or so are first person shooters.
1047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games out for the N64. The races and tournaments themselves are challenging and extremely fun. The many characters that you can unlock all have their own abilities and everything else to set them aside. The tracks are not repetitive and give each race a fresh new layer of fun.
9570 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 What makes this game great , is its replay value. you can play through the story in less than 25 hrs,but,it 's one of the few games that each time you play its different. This is due to the ability to change characters and jobs ,weapons , abilities ,ect. Not many games give you this. The story itself,IMHO ,is short ,but it makes up in the ability to mix an match character design .five star fun value , either the Playstation version or the PsP version are worth getting.
With hundreds of things to build there is rarely any time in the game where you don't have something you can add to your cities and civilization. Maybe you want to go for the Wonders of the World where only one Civilization can get very special buildings that give you abilities that will have you with a huge advantage over everyone else. Or you want to build great defense in each city so that no one will be able to break through and take over your cities. If you want to be a war mongering civ there are many great units for that too. From simple pikemen all the way up to nuclear missiles. Truly a test of time in every sense. A voyage that will take you from the begining of civilization all the way to the mid 2000's.
If your buying this game, for some reason you should add perfect dark. Same game play action, but for some reason I love "Perfect Dark" better. But thats me.....
- Gameplay is not as fluid when compared to today's racing games
only the good die young! see if you can get your hands on one today!

9139 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works like a charm but I noticed it will not work with the black colord game boy games I tryed to use it on my dragon warrior and pocket bomberman and it would not work but on all regular gameboy games oh yea wishes are granted.
6992 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 X-Men smash into your home in this flashy, and entertaining fighting game. The graphics are well above average, almost perfect, sleek, well detaild, interractive backgrounds, make it enoyable just to watch. character voice overs from the cast of the cartoon series, and easy to learn moves for the most part make it a must have. The only thing about the game i was not impressed with though is definately the very limited selection of mutant heros and villians to choose from. you can only pick from 6 to begin and have to unlock the other four evil mutants. I havn't played long enough to see if there are more characters but so far there's not many. but even with the small number of playable characters this game will surely be one of the hottest titles this summer and beyond.
895 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Works but have to clean every time, love the game
I feel that Capcom hit the nail on the head with this game as they did with Resident Evil 2... heck thus far they have done a real bang up job making these games. In closing all I can tell you is that not trying Resident Evil 3 would be a mistake... as the game has everything in it that you would need for a heartpounding experience of fun.
Breath of Fire 3 doesn't have an overly confusing story. Once long ago, there was a clan on earth known as the dragon clan. After gaining enough power to destroy the world, the dragon clan suddenly disappeared. You play as Ryu, a young boy who suffers from amnesia. He soon befriends two thieves named Rei and Teepo. After he gets into trouble with the authorities, he soon finds out he is an ancestor of the dragon clan. So he embarks on a journey to uncover his mysterious past.
7812 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Cartridge was in good condition. Game works as advertised. Obviously no original packaging, just the game.
1076 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 There isn't much you can say that is bad with this game. For it's time it had excellent graphics, excellent game play and sound. This game is truly one in a million that I am sure any person can enjoy, BUT, if your a Zelda fan (and have played all if not most games from the beginning) you'll notice some of the things in OOT are recycled. For example, the Kakariko town music is completely recycled from Zelda: A Link to the Past. In fact this game borrows a lot from Zelda: A Link to the Past, though they do manage to change some things in OOT here and there. Still for what it's worth Zelda: OOT is still a pretty darn good game, though I think the story should have been more original.
2193 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Has greatly improved the aging graphics of my n64, especially on larger screens. I've been using it with an old TV and it still looks great. If you want to improve the textures in most games, remove jagged lines and generally make things prettier, this is well worth the money
Creative and difficult boss battles.
5548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A good one for the collection. It brings back some good memories from the 1990s and the old pentium 2 days!
Finally, I like making my own scenarios. It seemed difficult and a little confusing at first, but I eventually got the hang of it.
game was, the gameplay is one of best gameplay ever experienced
5225 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I just love RPG's so these games are always on my must have list. I'm glad I bought it now.
Popping- Terrain popping up out of no where. Programmers usually solve this with careful use of fog. Yes folks, that is the true use of fog. However fog in this game is under utilized. Almost like it was thrown in at the last minute.
Donkey Kong 64 is just strange. While it's unique and atmospheric to explore a huge 3D world of jungles, caves, factories, icy caves, castles and Aztec areas many of which are obviously trademark locations of the Donkey Kong series, the problem is that the game is designed so you have to collect a LOT, make that WAY TOO MANY, different things (mainly bananas, berries, blueprints, crystals, coins and film used to snap photos of floating dancing fairies (which awards the gamer banana medals). Let me stress again if it wasn't clear enough the first time- there's a LOT to collect in this game. Since Nintendo made the strange decision to place so much emphasis on collecting and more collecting, that's basically all you do for 80% of the exploration. Well besides trying to land tricky platform jumps and battle the controls and camera angles which are often times wonky, sensitive and undependable. Where *are* all the enemies? Other than the outside of Creepy Castle, you won't see hordes of enemies hanging out together like in the DKC series. Basically you could very well travel between different caves, lakes and other areas without encountering a single enemy. I can't get much replay value from simply collecting all the time. The game needs more substance than relying almost entirely on collecting (even if the atmosphere is nice). The one enemy I like are the ones that swing a big spiked club around since they're entertaining and inventive. Otherwise the enemies are the same ones we've seen in the DKC series but spaced apart throughout overlarge environments.
The gameplay is superior. It would be nice if there were an option to slow it down or even pause it, but, hey, this is "Real-time" strategy--no such wussy options here. The "Holographic Interface" (the gameplay screen through which you control your troops) is actually pretty easy to get used to, and is incredibly flexible at the same time. You can get dirtside with your troops and watch a stormtrooper run past you as he fires his blaster at the rebels while a AT-ST comes traipsing up from behind.
1042 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the first 'Kart' game quite like this.. there isn't any 'Kart' game like this either outside of the Mario franchise. If you think you can find a better Karting game out there, I'd like to see you find it and show me, because from my finds and plays, this is the only game that is worth playing. From DK to Bowser, Peach to Toad, this game has most of the characters that have been involved with Mario in some way. The graphics are great for its time, the sound is fun, the worlds are colorful, the idea is great. Who wouldn't like this game- at ANY age? I'm not sure, but if you don't, you amy need to see a doctor. This is the best Kart game ever, and the best Mario Kart game ever.
Although I'd take the PS2's controller over the DC's, the Dreamcast's joypad is certainly better than the X-Box's or that of the N64.
2164 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works great
Gameplay is great! Thats what it's all about. Gameplay. It's also easy to use and learn. The game will last for awhile but You will eventually get bored with it. But not for awhile.
Getting all 120 stars is the real challenge. (SPOILER ALERT) If you do manage to get them all, you get to visit Yoshi on the castle roof and he will give you 100 lives along with an improved triple jump move.
I would not recommend this game to anyone, unless you enjoy yelling at your TV screen all night, then look no further.
8005 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great memories and a great game. You must have this game if you have a SNES. Gameplay still holds today, graphics are funny.
3166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game ever. It's more than a game, it's more a way of life. It draws you in and you feel part of the whole gaming experience, something that Final Fantasy VIII fails to do. The storyline is immense, the characters are varied, there is a piloe, a dog type lion beast, a cat on a mog and an Ancient, unlike the sequel where everyone is a human. Materia collecting is fun, the fights are testing, the towns and destinations are varied, the world map is huge (until you get the Highwind) and the sub games are superb.
By all means play this game. It's worth it for the story. Just don't expect to play it more than once.
5631 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember watching some of the movies in this game being absolutely starstruck. I was amazed at what they could do with that technology. Looking back It's not that great compared to what we have now but back in the day it was amazing

Hideo directed this so beautifully. I have never seen a video game before that actually had a movie-like feel to it or an actual directing *style*.

Well you can give me a fancy shmancy console but it will never live up to the quality of the Nintendo 64. If you're a gamer your life is incomplete without this wonderful console.
7012 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
I do like the fact that you can explore more of the islands rather than just going straight to the next level, as well as save your game for free. There's lots of stuff to explore, so I think I'll enjoy the rest of it. The music is pretty good too.
7533 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is positively the best Super Mario game of all time. The gameplay is similar to the gameplay in Super Mario 1, 2, and 3 with one great addition. YOSHI! In your travels as Mario, you will discover Green, Blue, Red, and Yellow Yoshis each with their own unique abilities. If you are a fan of the Mario franchise, buy this game!.
2063 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 In Mario Party, you take control of one of six Nintendo characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, or Donkey Kong) and move around a board as if you were playing a board game. After each turn, you play a minigame. At the end of the minigame, the winner(s) get coins. The coins can then be used to buy stars from Toad. Sometimes you run into Bowser, who does something random, but never helps anyone. The winner is the character with the most stars at the end of a set amount of turns. A true original by Nintendo. However, there is a major problem with the controls...
8373 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The graphics are smooth and intense. The controls, even though initially confusing, are pretty good. I've gotten pretty far in this game as well (8 out of 10 levels completed) after playing many, many hours on this game.
The game does have its moments; if multiple people are playing, a clever implementation of the fastest-finger round decides who gets to sit in the hot seat. But frankly, I can't imagine playing this as a multi-player game anyway; the show's format simply isn't suited to be a party game, and this home version simply isn't exciting enough to watch.
One of the most underrated games in the PSX due its primitive graphic display (Making it even creepier) and game play, let us pray Silent Hill 2 for the PS2 will be more of the same. (Only better and creepier and, of course, remain as underrated as possible, that way the game does not become as crude as the RE series)
3697 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I bought Sega Dreamcast when it launched in 9/9/99 and to tell the honest truth, I had some doubts. But then, After I had bought 3 or so games for the thing, I knew it was best. Even if I do (and most likely will) buy a Playstation 2, Dolphin, or X-Box I know I'll always have a place in my gaming collection for the DC. I now have 27 or so games for it and I love every one of them.
This game is so ridiculously addictive, you'll soon find yourself taking time off from work to play it. Its combination of a good story, great control, and strategic play set it apart from all the other games on the market today.
3281 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 When I bought code: veronica i was an amateur with resident evil game, but after playing two discs of resident evil pleasure, i can beat any resident evil game. Gaming is my profession, so the game wasn't too hard to beat for me, but it would be, on a scale of 1-10, the hardness is an 8, for average gamer, so be resident evil experienced befor you buy this great game, but other than that, the game is excellent, so the $$ doesnt matter, the game play is worth it!
Tenchu 1(this isn't for kids).
9129 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Sometimes a guy just wants to kick back and shoot the holy heck out of everyone. Max Payne lets you do that and lets you do it with a modicum of style. There is something almost ballerina like that I found very immerssive(sic) as I got deeper into the game.
- In between stages when Earthworm Jim's face appears on screen, unlike the Super NES version, you can't make him repeatedly say the word "Groovy!" a bunch of times in a row. "G-g-g-g-GROOVY!"
Fortunately for you arcade Pac lovers out there, there's a new exclusive game (Pac-Jr). Granted, it's based on Ms. Pac-Man, as the mazes' colors and design show that they are, but the mazes are different enough to where it's a new Pac-Man game. Definitely a fun game to play as well.
7777 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 IT WORKS , BUT IS VERY VERY DAMAGE .SO I GIVE 1 STAR. I WILL PREFER GETTING A CLEAN ONE SO THE COVER WILL LAST . IT WOULD BE BETTER IDEA JUST TO PAY FOR A NEW GAME. I DONT KNOW IF THE SELLER WILL READ THIS. HOPE HE DOES.
Eventually you meet up with a young lady named Maria. She's extremely attractive, and knows just how to push the right flirting buttons. And that's a big problem. The way she seems to come on to Alucard and practically drool all over him is such a turn-on to the player that it's very difficult to move forward and continue on with the quest. After a Maria encounter, you can't stop thinking about her beautiful pale face, those big beautiful eyes, that smooth relaxing voice, and so then what happens after that is, when you are in the middle of a serious battle, you almost always die because you can't stop thinking about Maria's beautiful face.
950 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Works Great!
Yes folks, like Street Fighter, Mario and Mortal Kombat...Sonic is also going back to 2d.
'Ocarina of TIme' has many strong points for itself. For one, the player is given a very challenging and extremely satisfying quest to undertake. The game plays across a vast world with different subsections, each with their own particular themes. The gameplay is easy to get used to and becomes second nature as you play through the game. Graphics and sounds are done extremely well, considering the cartridge space allowed.
4073 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is simple, quick to install, and not too advanced in graphics. It came out in 1999 by Micropose, and has been the subject to a few add-ons such as Loopy Landscapes and Corkscrew Follies, and now even a sequal: Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. This game is enomously popular and has been a favorite of many.
Very good game!
6592 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This review is basically for FF VI. It was actually FF III when I first played it. Anyway, this game is awesome. Its what first got me into playing video games. The story is very good. There's a lot of different characters that you get to play with. It has 2 player option when your battling. The only real flaw is the graphics. But it came out a long time ago so you really can't expect it to be to mind blowing in the graphics department. Other then that, awesome game. I only played FF V for a little bit. It seemed to be pretty cool. Didn't set up the story for the game very well though. And there seemed to be some bugs in it as well. Or in my disc there was. I had to keep saving so when it did mess up I wouldn't have to start over. I never did play all the way through V though so not sure how good it actually is.....The music disc sucks....Unless your into jamming out to old school FF music. Good music for the game, not so much though for sitting around listening to it...

Anyway, every Super Mario game is groundbreaking (SMB1 created the side-scroller, SMB2 was queer and fun, SMB3 is the greatest platform game ever, SMB4 was one of the most replayed game i ever played and this game is mario in 3D without luigi,which is sad)
6458 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The first Age of Empires was great. The second one just plain sucked. Sure it has good graphics and an easy to use interface, but the game would always crash both of my computers. You can only play in 800x600 or above which is a downside also. My computers are not old either, one is a 300p-2 160megs ram 17 inch monitor, voodoo3 etc. The other is a 450 amd k6-2 96 megs ram, Ati graphics, 15 inch monitor. I just wanted to put this warning out to those who will be purchasing it. It may work fine for you, but I had problems. It sure is not addictive as the first AOE. Buggy software! Blahh! I am not anti Microsoft by the way.

7823 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Worked on 1st try! Plays great too!
It's difficult to call any game "perfect." No matter how original, how exciting, how breathtaking it may look, sound, play or feel, there remain a couple frustratingly overlooked areas, and Goldeneye is no exception. Most notably poor are the one or two levels which feature a limitless stockpile of enemy soldiers. No lie, I've memorized the layout of a base from start to finish, known there's nowhere these soldiers could be coming from, and watched as dozens and dozens miraculously appear from thin air to resume their fallen brothers' attack. It makes strategy an impossibility and frustrates the player to their wits' end. In addition, there's the small matter of dead or dying enemy soldiers who stand in the way. Every once in a while, an armed adversary will take a head shot and then stand, blankly staring, for several moments before slowly dropping to the floor. This wouldn't be such a bad thing if the other soldiers' bullets couldn't pass right through him. So you'll often find yourself firing into the chest of a dead man, a futile attempt to get at the soldiers behind him, all the while taking fire from those still breathing on the other side of his body. Despite my small misgivings however, 99% of this game plays flawlessly. The progression of difficulty is astounding, moving from the relatively easy early levels to a series of seemingly impassible stages near the cart's conclusion. And it's all done while walking that razor's edge between being excessively cheap and being overly giving. The player realises these missions are possible, even as he's watching Bond die for the twelfth time in as many minutes.
5864 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had never played ff before and I wasn't sure about number 8 but I thought I would give it a try. It is without a question the best game I have ever played. I love this game. The chars. are well defined and the monsters are challenging and creative. This was a great game that has lasted a long time with plenty of challenges and lots of fun.
4495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Every year, it seems like turn-based strategy is given it's Last Rites. Sid Meier comes through yet again with a clear winner. For anyone who is a fan of Civilization or Civ II stop reading this review and buy the game now.
2068 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Can't believe the children are still playing this game years later so I have to assume it's a great product.
The only game to be like this would probably be The suffering cause you here the voices of the CO's getting torn apart by weird disturbing creatures. Maybe not the only game but there a little few games that are like UNreal.
5162 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Metal Gear Solid is one of the best games I have ever played. This is a game you can play another 20 years from now and still have fun playing it.
Actually, the graphics are eye-popping on the old-school Game Boy. Even if the characters blend in the backgrounds a little, playing the game on a Game Boy Color or Advance helps them stand out better.
6634 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Man, I never knew Phil Regis could be this ANNOYING! Since some of the first few questions are ludicrously hard (which is totally unlike the show), and it gives you 30 seconds to answer the question (which is ALSO totally unlike the show), I have to restart the game A LOT, which means I hear Phil Regis A LOT. A "skip" button should've been put into the game! I haven't recieved any repeat questions after about 3 months of owning the game. How? I uninstalled it after 30 minutes and never played it again! Trust me, you'd get more fun out of an electronic whoopee cushion than this game...and it's $5 cheaper!
8965 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You know the story - Mr. X takes over the city in attempt to govern it with anarchy and destruction. But four friends team up to stop him and his syndicate, even if it means fighting the mean streets...of rage.
Things start out with The Master Levels where thirteen of the possible twenty-one levels make up the core of Final Doom. These levels are meant to test one's mettle with relentless enemy attacks and complex level design, something they do quite well. Players will find a level like Vesperas is hard to tackle regardless of what difficulty level their playing on. Still, the real attraction of the master levels beyond the challenge is the fact the player can carry their status and weaponry from level to level. This isn't possible on the PC since the data for each level is its own file, something that was purposely done so each map would be considered its own separate entity by players. Final Doom on the PlayStation proves how unnecessary this was since each level still feels like a separate experience even though they follow one another.
Filled with engaging weapons and more. Itll keep you playing till the end! The bosses are amazing! I cant believe acclaim made this. GREAT JOB! Its a little to late to review. Acctually I got this game when it first came out and same with all the other series. This is one of N64'S BEST GAMES EVER MADE!
1238 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Game One Of The Best Of N64 Next To Paper Mario And Zelda OoT Ofcourse Anyway Buy It If You Have A N64 And Also Get wCw Nitro For PS1 Anyway BUY THIS AND NITRO AND THUNDER ALL FOR PS1
3858 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game. Play it non-stop and might just be re-addicted to it. Works great, and have had no problems with it.
But then I played Planescape Torment
5756 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Good gravy. What was Squaresoft thinking when they made this one?! It's terrible in almost every aspect.
9748 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its a fantastic racing game for the PS1! Definitely a classic! But be warned, Its more of a racing "RPG" than just straight up racing, and It takes huge effort and patience to beat. So if your no into that, go play NFS, but if you are, then this game is perfect for you!
And even getting to Kabuto or the Reapers is near impossible with the game in its current state. With no in-mission save, and some missions lasting more than an hour, the game would be hard to begin with--but not only that, there are vicious crash bugs that kick you out of the game entirely. This happened to me five times on one particularly hard Mecc mission, and I was almost ready to uninstall it in disgust when I finally beat the mission.
1512 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 South Park is one of those games that you just love to love. I have it in my collection of video games now. Game came in great condition.
Lots of new (actually interesting) modes, and plenty of characters for you to trash a friend with. It's just plain fun playing as a giant bear or breakdancing fighter.
Cid: A washed up, foul mouth old pilot/technician (my favorite.)
Cosmetically, it's a microphone. Bit on the ugly side.
Plot: The evil Baron Dante invades the peace loving Gobbo Island the crocodile name Croc tries to save the day by stopping the evil Baron Dante. 8/10
7263 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Nostalgia can be a wonderful thing.
Another thing that sucked was that I didn't know you could climb brick walls. That frustrated me! I was in this hole and I was like "man, I can't get out!!!!!" Then I read the walkthrough and it turns out that you can climb up brick walls. Go figure!
6965 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Aladdin is one of the best-selling Genesis games of all time. Unlike most games that undeservedly sell ludicrous amounts of copied (I'm looking at you, Call of Duty), Aladdin actually deserves this distinction. It's a definitive masterpiece of a platform game, and everything included in its design was implemented to create one of the funnest games on the console.
Player advancement plays a big role. Unlike in many RPGs where when you advance to a new level the game chooses the HP or EP or SP or DP(striength points, Energy points ETC), in Diablo II you choose this your self. Also whenever you advance to a new EXP LVL you have the options for new skills. You get chose the skills so you customise wether your amazon gets to fling buring arrows or attack with lightning spears, or if you barbarian learns a new battle cry or become better at wielding axes.
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2: Two classic 3D platformers, though 2 has aged much better than 1. They can still be found affordably and playing them on their original console (Dreamcast) gives the best control experience.
8495 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games Nintendo ever created. Certainly, it's well worth your money, even though it's an expensive game. It has excellent 3D graphics that really fit the game play. I know graphics DO NOT make a game, but these graphics make the game better than it would be with horrible graphics. The story is engaging and absolutely hilarious at times. The inventory system is also well thought out. The battles are fun, and are never dull. The world map is also very pretty. The music is also very fitting to the game play, and very catchy at that. The Culex theme is also very pleasant to hear. But now, on to the most important part of this review, and the most important thing about the game itself: the game play. The game play is absolutely spectacular! Basically, it makes for a superlative game. Even though this game is expensive, you should get it. I hope that my review convinced you to get the game. It's one of the best games Nintendo made. By the way, I play it on the original console, and I would recommend that you do the same.
There are good things here, a lot of them. Huge maps and tech tree, updated graphics and well-balanced 'rock-paper-scissors' units. I also think the random scenario generator is great for a couple hours of play.
2373 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game started it all red and blue ARE one of the best games in the series save for the games that followed them gold silver and crystal nothing and i mean NOTHING beats those games WILL definately buy the next ones in the series up intill ruby and sapphire
The first thing I noticed was, the music was ASTONISHING. When I first walked into the castle and "The Tragic Prince" started, my mouth was hanging open. I immediately cranked up the volume. There's everything from haunting hard rock to beautiful orchestrated tracks. The best game soundtrack I've ever heard by far. I even found myself turning the game on just to listen to the music! You'll definetely want the soundtrack.
356 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Blew up in the first charge . Horrible quality, avoid like the plague!
3160 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I having been playing Role Playing games steadily since nintendo, and Sega Master System. And this is the Best Role Playing game I have played with Phantasy Star of Master system a close 2nd. I am only on disc one still, but I can't stop playing this game I have to finish it, I just bought FFIX, after reading a review on FFVIII I decided to pass but may go back if someone can change my mind.
I did what I had to do, and finally uninstalled it. I thought of all the money I spent, and went to find another game. What a tradgedy that a game with that much potential had to be ruined by an obvious rushed product. If your a gamer who likes fast action and addicting gameplay, then go buy Icewind Dale or Diablo 2, not this game.
6111 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Playstation's Dual Shock is such a comfortable and popular layout that PC gamepad companies like Saitek and Logitech try to copy it, and they usually don't do a very good job. Their d-pads are always too awkward, or their construction is too lightweight. The Dual Shock is solid and is built to last. I'm an emulation gamer, and thanks to SmartJoy's USB adapter I can use a real PS1/PS2 gamepad with ZSNES and Bleem.
Characters (score 10/10): Who doesn't love Squall? He's quite likeable in a grumpy anti-social sort of way.... Plus he's an excellent case study in avoidant-attachment disorder. Ha ha... Seriously, though, the characters are very well-developed. I love having unique introspection into the psyche of a main character. The rest of the characters are excellent, too. Everyone has a distinctive personality and a role to play in the story; no one feels like they were tacked on at the last minute just to increase the party size (a problem with some other RPGs I've played; I'm looking at you, FF12!). The characters are portrayed very well and you will become attached to them very quickly.
6686 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember my mom buying the Gameboy and this game for me and it consuming my childhood for a while. It's such a simple game but hard enough for a kid. As an adult, it took around a half hour but the music is always cool.
My only complaint is the controller shape is a little wonky. Too big (and I have big hands), like the N64 and the first Xbox. Other than that, no complaints.
ONE: Massive game selection. There are hundreds of titles to choose from. Certainly you'll find a few that you will enjoy playing. There are some real gems out there, and you won't have to look hard to find them.
6922 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Back when the Playstation was first released in the mid 90's, there weren't many straight-ahead shooting/violent/extremely bloody games around. Loaded marks one of the first, not to mention finest, nonstop shooting games released back in 1996.
Beaver Bother (you know what I'm talking about if you've played this game)
8712 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I recieved this game three days after christmas, three days later I beat the game spending around 7 hours to win. My palms drenched in sweat and my heart racing tremendously I destroyed the final boss.
Cons:

In Time Trial mode you race in any of 15+ courses and try to set records for each lap and/or race.
6486 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent item.
3398 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Dreamcast is possibly one of the greatest video game console ever created. This is the console real gamers play. It has the weirdest and coolest video games on it ever made for a console in the History of gaming. It has Blue Stinger, Illbleed, Sword of Berserk, Spawn in the Demon's Hand, Shenmue, MVC, Power stone, Soul Calibur, and many more great titles. This console had it all, fighters, rpgs, action and adventure games. This didn't deserve to fail to the ps2. It is better than any Sony console and I love the original psx because I grew up with that console first but the Dreamcast was something special. It has visual memory units that would show images when you play the game and even showed vital signs in games such as Resident Evil Code Veronica and Dino Crisis. This console will forever be talked about and rightfully so. If Sega doesn't get back into the console industry which is as sad is it is, they'll be remembered positively for this console that should have never failed. Fake Gamers turned their backs on this console for the dvd player PS2!!! THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON ONE OF THE GREATEST CONSOLES OF ALL TIME FOR A FREAKING DVD PLAYER! The Dreamcast isn't and wasn't hype, it was the real deal.
Trust me, you will not regret it!
4211 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an extreamly addictive game. Both my son (10) and I want to play and we are constantly trying to get the mouse from the other during game play. We have various sim city and sim train games but none are as fun to play as this one. I think this is for two reasons. First, the game is not one where you get frustrated because you go bankrupt every time you try to play. Second, ammusment parks are fun to go to and fun to build on a PC. You can build the park of your dreams! Additionally, the program is easy to learn, seems to be absolutely bug free and the graphics are great. It lets you change the landscape and build various tunnels and other things that you wish they would have on real parks (if they weren't so darn cost concious). If you like sim games or just want to try one to see if you like them, this is the one to get. Happy building!
The E-102 Gamma levels are a super generic shoot-em up game.
Still, the weapons in this game improved a great deal! You get the standard pistol, shotgun etc... but there are improved bullets to be made, more powerful shotguns/pistols, M-16 rifles, and so much more! Also, each time you defeat Nemesis in the hard level, he gives you a peice to a gun you won't find in the game, or something cool like that. Then there is the Mercenaries game after you beat the actual game through the first time. Mercenaries is a little bit redundant, but if you keep at it, you can buy unlimited ammo, start with automatic weapons and more! This means any gun you find in the game never runs dry, and believe me, the first time through the hard level, you're going to WANT more ammo! Besides, as you obtain more powerful weapons, you can swat Nemesis like a pesky fly with the missile launcher, mow down Zombies with the Magnum, or mass-attack with the mini gun.
913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Like Super Mario and Donkey Kong this game is a classic. The good gameplay and graphics pay off. This is worth the money.
The first level has you go through a jungle. The enemies here are just animals that you may normally see. You can bounce on spider webs like a trampoline, and you can also swing on vines (like original Pitfall). The boss is a tiger, but it can't be killed easily. You gotta throw some bombs and shoot at it. What's annoying here is how you must jump over its pattern as it dashes across the screen. If you jump too early or late, you'd be knocked down on the ground (Not saying you'd lose all your health that fast).
847 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 God I get tried if writing reviews, I just want to buy a product and go on with my life
I have no hesitation in giving this game five stars. If you're the type of person who likes both action and strategy, then buy this.
I admit that now, many people believe the Game Boy Pocket seems to be obsolete. That's absurd. Those who wish to save money can get one and still have fun. Those who wish to put in a bit more can have the Game Boy Color (which unfortunately I still do not own, but realize the fun of). Those who want to "blow off", if you will, too much money -- can get some expensive, fancy system.
9066 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I remember in 1994 how incredible I thought this game was graphically. Looking back at it now, in this era of PS2, Xbox, or GC, it still stands up. Why? Not only is it an awesome game, with many different levels, the graphics are still awesome. SNES was one of the best systems that ever came out. This is one reason why. If you're looking for a great game, check this out.
5732 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The best game I play in a long time. The level's are cool and very pretty. The background color is great and smooth.
There are always things I really like and dislike about all the ff games. One of the things that irrated me was having to conjunction the commands I wanted to use such as Magic, Draw, Items, and GF (Gardian Force). You cannot use them all. You are allowed only four with Attack being automatic. I try to have one with Items and all with magic. I give magic to the one that couldn't draw. Sharing magic is one of the pros.
Paper Mario
I'm not talking about the art direction or graphical look. "Turok 2" is still a good-looking game with gruesome enemies and solid lighting effects. But these levels are confusing as all hell, with the exception of the 1st one. If we had a better story to go along with it, then maybe there'd be a reason to plow through. But for whatever reason, Acclaim & Iguana decided to force the player to scour every inch of the 6 levels, and if you're stuck, you're stuck for good.
1150 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far the best Zelda installment yet. Much more fun than Majora's Mask, mainly because you can freely explore the world of Hyrule. (see review of Majora's Mask)
5487 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Soul Reaver is fantastic, but only if you're the right type of gamer. If you enjoy the dramatic; this one's for you. If goofy is your thing; don't bother.
1650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good buy
The controls are easy to figure out, but the gameplay is far from being a pushover. The creatures have amazing abilities, but you'll need to push them to their maximum limit to make victory a possibility. The moments are never dull and the soundtrack remains one of the most legendary in video game history. This game is a true classic and if you have a Sega Genesis (or get one of the Sega comps for the later-generation systems that features Altered Beast), this game should be considered a must-play.
2189 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 for some reason it doesn't fit perfectly but it works so its not a big deal
9984 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got X-Men eleven or twelve years ago when my parents got me a Sega Genesis. It was my first video game and to this day it is still one of my favorite games. And even now in the days of the PS2 and Xbox, I'll still frequently pop this game into my Genesis and play. It's simple, fun and familiar.
Thirdly, the Nemesis.
There's all kind's of missions, I haven't even beat the whole
The challenge. This game is very good at starving you of health. Probably the second half of the first disc I was wandering about in danger, hoping to find at least a green herb while trying to keep the undead and mutants away from me.
Spawn:In the demons hand
Power Stone 1 &2
For those of you who've been in a timewarp the past 5 years and never heard of Diablo or Diablo II, let me give you a brief rundown on both.
I love how each of the Metroid varities you come across become tougher and tougher as you make more progress and go deeper and deeper inside the planet. The ones that spit fireballs and dart around the screen at a pretty good speed are what *nightmares* are made of, haha.
I have to say, this game is quite gorey but hey, that's what I like. This is sort of a action/horror/RPG game. It has very complex puzzles and it really works your mind. When I rented this the first time and had no clue what the hell was lurking behind me or around the corner, I was scared as hell! I played it at 10:15 at night, of course so I was prone to be scared. Wouldn't you be scared. I just got to the part with the skinless creature with the razor sharp tounge. Luckly I defeated him with the shotgun. He wasn't all that hard, but I got scared and I'll tell you why:
3. The graphics are pretty decent, and the characters resemble what they are supposed to be.
8110 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is without question the best Star Trek game ever made - period - and the first-person shooter aspect makes it even better. The graphics are very nice to look at (it utilizes the Quake 3 engine), as are the weapons and dialogue between the characters. This game will probably be a little on the easy side for experienced gamers, since it offers few challenging puzzles. At the same time, however, the pace is quick enough to keep veterans interested and keep inexperienced players on the edge of their seat. Very well balanced for everyone concerned.
The biggest difference between this game and the second one is that the first one knew when and where to put the cut scenes. The first one was very controlled yet it was just right for the gamers to really appreciate the story flow, whereas in the second one, it's just wasted use of ineffective cut scenes here and there, not to mention ridiculous codec dialogues (which literally not only stop from continuing its legacy, but killed it). Another biggest difference has to be the ending. The ending for the first one was really, REALLY rewarding, i absolutely had this sense of 'fulfilled, completed, satisfied, reward' You will know what i mean. The second one, umm,,, no comment.
Just picture this- you're walking down a street in an empty town. It's snowing, and it's quiet all around you. Suddenly you hear wings flapping far off in the distance. You stop dead in your tracks. The sound becomes louder and louder as *something* gets closer and closer to you. You quickly check all around you to try and see if you can find where that sound is coming from, but you don't see anything. A scream is heard from far away, a demon-like scream, and then another louder scream soon follows. Before you know it, you see giant flapping wings right above you, attacking your head. Your instinct is to defend yourself, but when you turn and aim the gun, the enemy is nowhere to be seen. You continue to hear flapping sounds and prepare yourself for another round with the beast. But the sounds get softer and softer until they disappear. You ask yourself "is it gone, is it over???" while continuing to hold your gun in the air. Sometimes during these moments the enemy WILL be gone, other times it will trick you into thinking it's gone but then come back for another fight. And this is just in the DAYTIME part of the game! Imagine how much harder and more frightening this battle becomes when the sky suddenly turns dark and the enemies want to come out and play. That's what makes the game so great- you just don't know what to expect.
By this game and see yourself how wondrous it is.
In the end, you are judged by Prof Oak, and will eventually get to move on to a new location with new pokemon to see.

You play as this Hot spy named Joanna Dark...And boy this woman dark as she hides and go seeks aiming for what her missions are and completeng them when told.
Well, it's like a board game but much more fun. Lot's of minigames, lots of chances to shout and swear (not that i'm telling you to) but it's all good-natured fun.
6478 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is by far the greatest video game I've ever played. This is the first person shooter I've been waiting for. You're not killing monsters and space aliens, you're actually particpating in historical events, killing real enemies. The graphics are solid, and the sound is just awesome. And with shock controllers, the "feel" of this game is just oustanding.
9767 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The sequel is surprisingly leaps and bounds better then the first version of GT. I find it amazing that one of the best driving games I have ever played has been improved! Great new tracks, the dirt tracks are an excellent addition not to mention the music is equally outstanding. Can't wait to check on part 3 on Playstation 2!!
I ran this game on an XP-equipped P4, with a 64MB AGP card, and had no problems (other than those involving the evil aliens and homicidal fellow humans). Graphics and sound were smooth, and I suffered no CTD's.
If you look at the title of each stage, you will feel, almost feel that this is not just a mere shooter game, but because of that title you can almost sense the story line flowing as you go along. I think that's really something, being able to convey the feel of storyline just with title of each stage? You gotta play for yourself to see what I mean.
Mario Kart is a Great game and if you have a N64,GET IT!
All in all, if you haven't played MK4, and you have a Dreamcast, you may enjoy this title. The action is swift and pretty, and there's lots of fun blood and mutilations (parents beware.) Otherwise, this title is old news that could have benefitted from a little more development time.
4634 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Did you like Fallout? You'll like this. If you didn't, you probably won't like this one either. Same basics, graphics, different story, different part of California. Some minor changes - you can get a car to cover those large distances, the car's trunk holds lots of stuff and there are new monsters, but not enough of them. Still, you can get married and you can be a fluffer in a porn studio
5004 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I don't know much about this game and never played it.
Overall, even though Dino Crisis has almost zero replay value, and too much time is spent running around inside a facility doing one puzzle after another (and collecting one key card after another) the game is worth the experience. It's not a classic, just a nice game.
2453 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game that started the Smash franchise.
6509 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was purchased for my grandsons and they love it.
Overall Final Fantasy 8 is a beautiful game with a shallow story that leaves the player with a lot more questions than answers; however, it is a Final Fantasy classic, and a very beautifully developed game. Sure it lacks some things here and there, and the battle system can be a pain, but when you see the 18 strike with 9999 damage per hit Lion Heart...you can't help but sit back and smile and say "hey, this is pretty awsome."
7555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it worked for what it was bought for and i am sure it will work for you too just do it
5003 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 we were searching for the silent hill that followed the same story as the first movie. that was the only problem we had with it other than being rather short, we beat in in less than 4 days, playing sporadically.
The gameplay was probably what was most intriguing in relative to Castlevania IV. Though an action platformer at heart, it adds some RPG elements; strength and other stats are quantified; you can obtain and change weapons and other equipment, and carry items for later use, like health potions (certainly couldn't do that in Castlevania IV...would've made it easier). Furthermore, your character no longer uses the traditional whip, but a sword instead.
Sound = 8/10
All in all, Pac-Man 2 is a should-have. If you're a cartoon fanatic, you should pick this up right away. If you are looking for an unexpected challenge, the game certainly has that. If you are a Pac-Man fan, and wish for arcade-style action, Pac-Man 2 still offers the arcade classic and Ms. Pac-Man to satisfy your needs. There's something for everyone here!
So if you don't have the money to drop on a "next-gen" system, get yourself a Dreamcast while they are still available. You don't have to be left out of the gaming party due to low funds.
The PC version misses out on those things, but it does make up for that by having better animations from enemies and bosses. But the controls aren't as good as the Playstation controller either (sorry, I need a controller for a video game console because that's what I've grown up with). The PC version also has some more rooms to explore, so that's nice as well.
3186 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Buy! Best Graphics on the Dreamcast that I've seen, and Fun gameplay to boot!
Aaaanyway....play this Bassoon of Time game! It is full of so much WIN! I hope I didn't give too much of it away! Lulz!!11one XD
Large Lack of Car Variety
The game puts you in the cockpit of awesome, powerful, 80-ton humanoid warmachines with enough firepower to level a city. The array of mechs and arsenal won't disappoint. Customize your warmachine any way you want and take it to the battlefield.
9647 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is still fun and addictive, but it is lacking in content. You can catch every single pokemon (of the original set) and evolve them and all that, but obviously it's not 'that' easy. Especially third evolutions and such.
I was very impressed. The graphics, while a little bit dated, soar over those in the Sim City games. Going to war and defending your city are refreshing extras, as with sim city it seems that the whole world is at peace.
RE2 was one of the first games I got for the system and it completely changed my outlook on games forever.
4140 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super fun! Works with windows 7.
608 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Rogue Squadron. Every Star Wars fan knows the elite starfighter group of pilots. Now you get the opportunity to experience what it feels like to hop into the cockpit of an X-Wing,Y-Wing,A-Wing, V-Wing, Millenium Falcon, T.I.E. Interceptor, and the Naboo Starfighter. As you fly through over 15 missions, ranging from Tatooine to Mon Calamari, you'll earn ranks in the squardron. With each mission you complete, you'll earn a medaland be promoted. Do you have what it takes to buy this game, and prove you've got what it takes to be a top fighter pilot?
9103 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My first system was a Sega Genesis, and I loved playing the Sonic series (minus spinball and 3-D, but I still got em') and other classics(SOR,SOR2,SOR3,Spiderman/Xmen,Xmen2, which is still my current fave, and most importantly: Maximum Carnage.) These games are all good and that's what made the system good to me is it's games. I liked the SNES too(for RPG reasons) but the one I was raised on (and still play today, burned songs from Sonichq.org) and still have fond memories of today is the Genesis, the only system I don't have that is Sega related is the Saturn and that is because I cannot find one,(but I will, take my word for it)so dust off that game, and play it and take a trip down memory lane cause I know I do. And you old-schoolers know no game will give you the replay value and enjoyment of a classic system like the feeling you had when Aeris died, or the first time you beat Robotnik, these game have a value that no other can match so when you find the time to play these, do so cause in the end, these new systems may have graphics and fancy stuff, but one thing they will never have is the feeling of enertainment and gratification of a job well done. Most newer titles can be beaten in a day (some even less than that) but I dare you to play Super Mario World and try to say you can beat it in a day. That's classic gaming for ya.
The way skills are learned in this game is just your basic learn a skill at a certain level system. Example: Learn a small healing spell at level 5. There's no custom way of learning your attacks. You have to realize, that this came out in the early 90's, where there was only a game here and there had a deep system to go along with it. It gets the job done, but it's not as advanced as some RPG'ers would like. I didn't mind, though. Don't let this turn you away from the game. You will miss out on a memorable experience if you do.
2812 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Riven is a worthy sequel to Myst, and takes the Myst "mystique" to another level with five new worlds and an expanded story line. The brilliantly realized environments and mood-setting soundtrack draw you in immediately and keep you there until the sun comes up. Riven is not for gamers with short attention spans--simply navigating and charting the accessible areas of the Age of Riven take patience and time, and solving what I would characterize as the two major puzzles requires all of the intelligence and tenacity one can muster. As some reviewers have said, having played Myst first is helpful background to have, but this is not because the puzzles of Riven are similar to those of Myst, but because Myst will acquaint you with how the creators conceive puzzles, and heighten your sensitivity to factors in the environment that bear noting and investigating. I gave Riven 4 stars, rather than 5, for two reasons: (a) one of the major puzzles is sound-based, and after some long and frustrating efforts at solving it on my own, I obtained some hints on the internet and found that the solution required matching up particular sounds from the game that, in fact, simply did not match up (at least not in the version that I bought); and (b) one other crucial clue is a tiny, blurry image. In these respects, I felt that the creators did not play fair. Two other points:(i) contrary to what some have said, it is indeed possible to lose this game and meet an untimely end, so be careful out there, and (ii) recognize that the CD-Rom version is on 5 discs, which need to be changed every time you travel from one world to another--if you have a DVD-Rom player, by all means spring for the DVD version, which consists of one disc.
Conclusion: Star Fox 64 is a face of near perfection, if only a few small blemishes hadn't reared their ugly heads. Multiplayer, I hear, is lacking; but, overall, none of the minor flaws in this game are major dealbreakers. Personally, I recommend this game to people who are bored and have a lot of time on their hands; the replay value is great with its various paths! The final boss can be downright creepy, and . . . well, I think any critique could easily go on forever! Long story short, this game is an absolute steal at the cheap price it's at now. A fond memory in many gamers hearts, this Star Fox 64 still remains as a highly recommended game to play!
OVERALL GRADE: 10/10
Graphics, story, pacing, etc...
The camera can get quite wonky in places and funny...even to this day bad cameral angles still plague 3D games.
There are no plot twists, no complicated storylines.
888 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goldeneye 007, Killer Instint, The Donkey Kong Country series, Conker, Diddy Kong Racing....those were the good ol' days when Rare was still relevant. Before they sold their souls to Microsoft and lost all credibility. And in my opinion, the peak of Rare was with the Banjo games (kazooie & tooie) on Nintendo 64. Kazooie, to me, defines the N64 3-D platformer. While many will say Mario 64, which is a near perfect game. I think the Nostalgia sometimes forgets how much BETTER Banjo Kazooie was. Back in '98 rare was on a roll. This game was yet another grandslam. A brand new franchise, cut from scratch. And it's absolutely amazing. I won't go into all the details and story as my fellow reviewers have already made clear. All I can add is this game is easily one of the best games of the late 90's. It was a game I picked up and loved immediately. My only question is WHAT the **** happened to rare?!! They were so amazing with Nintendo, then dropped bomb after bomb for the X-Box consoles. I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, so don't even go there. But Rare took a big dookie all over this series with the newer games on Microsoft consoles. The 1998 game will always be the best. And I hope someday the brothers who originally ran Rare will comeback to bring the infamous "Banjo Threeie" to life on any console!!

It was a normal day for you, Gordan Freeman, an employee at the Black Mesa Research Facility deep in the bowels of the New Mexico desert. Sure, the computer system had been screwy, but your job was easy enough: don a "hazard suit" and do the task detailed to you by the scientists in charge. But then things went horribly awry, the shut-down procedure failed, and only the hazard suit you were wearing saved your life. You must make it to the surface, but the normal routes have been blocked off by the unforseen consequences of the experiment. Hapless unarmed scientists and rogue security guards may be some help, but aside from the weaponry you'll find, you'll have to rely on yourself to fight off the hordes of aliens spawned by the resonance cascade.

Story: It's hard to follow, at points. Basically, this corporation called Datadyne is up to no good, aliens are involved, and it's to Joanna Dark and the Carrington institute to save the day. The story is resolved at Campaign's end, but I'm told that the full story awaits those who complete the game on Perfect Agent.

But as I said above, this game is worse than Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game because the graphics and animations aren't in the same league. But see, the thing is, In Your House and Wrestlemania: the Arcade Game are the ONLY arcade wrestling games with the WWE logo on them. This means we only have TWO games like this that exist in the entire world. Sure beats having a million slow-moving big and bulky 3D WWE games out there that have no major innovations implemented whatsoever to separate themselves, right?
1323 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own this game as a teenager, believe me if you haven't play this game you missing a lot. Totally worth playing it even as adult.

2468 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you're into pretty colors and flashy graphics, and care much less about actually having controller inputs match character actions, go ahead and get SSB:Melee instead.

Here's the rundown on the game (1 worst - 10 best)
605 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If I had to pick one word to describe this game it would be amazing. "Rogue Squadron" pushes the N64 to it's maximum power graphically, which can be further enhanced by an expansion pack (I strongly recommend going with one it makes the game run smoother). The gameplay couldn't be more entertaining, I often wonder how my little Nintendo 64 is able to handle all that this game has to offer. The missions you fly in this game vary from escorting ground troops into combat all the way to launching full foward attacks on monstrous Imperial ships. The AI is pretty strong depending on the difficulty level, but when it comes to your own wingmen helping you out just forget it. Environments in this game are incredible for a Nintendo 64 game and I give the designers alot of credit for putting so much work into them. Can't get you're hands on the new Rogue Squadron "Rogue Leader" for Gamecube? Pick this up to satisfy you're urge, if you do own Rogue Leader or even don't plan on getting it, pick this title up anyways for a hell of a gaming experience.

For Tetris 2, you must line up 3 in a row using the usual Tetris shapes, as well as a few new shapes. It is a cool spin off of both Tetris and Dr. Mario. In fact, even the setup is similar to Dr. Mario. You can choose from Slow, Medium, or High falling blocks, 20 levels, and 3 different tunes.
7000 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 After I saw the movie I was in a real "X-Men" mood so I went out and bought this game. When I started playing it I became very frustrated. It doesn't show you how to do any of the moves in the instruction book (not that I ever need an instruction book to learn moves). To do moves in this game it takes a lot of practice. So to find out how to do anything with a character you have to go into this boring and frustrating training mode. Once you master a character it is then easy to complete the game. But then, if you want to play another character, you have to go back into the training mode all over again. The endings in this game are very short and unsatisfying. The good thing is that after you have beaten the game with everybody you can view each ending linked up together and then it makes a lot more sense and you get more satisfaction. There's lot of things to unlock in this game but no codes. No secret characters. The worse part about this game is the gameplay. I recently went back to play this game after not playing it for about a year. I found out that I had forgotten to do all of the moves. So rather than go back into training mode I just turned it off and put it anyway. I'll probably never play it again.
The formula overall is very, VERY unique and makes the game really interesting. Namco did a great job with the making of this game. Unfortunately, there are two problems: The lack of places to get Power Pellets AND the lack of an actual save feature. Yeah....you have to use passwords, so you better write em down..

The game is a puzzle game; it is not easy. It is not the kind of game you will sit down at and simply beat. It took me at least six hours without the strategy guide. Just for reference, if one goes through the game and does the ABSOLUTE minimum, i.e. already knows some of the codes and knows exactly what to do when and where, the game will still take about and hour and a half.
Granted the older N64 games don't make use of it but the newer games do.

Here are the pros. The graphics are superb. The detailing of the zombies and the surroundings give you are real sense of dread, and yes, the blood flow is well detailed, it sprays when you are wounded. The music is ominous and ambient, giving just the right mood to the situations you come across. The story is also well put together, even though anyone who has seen George Romero's "Living Dead" trilogy (and what horror fan hasn't?) can get a sense of deja vu. All these elements make this a game well worth getting.

Overall this game is tricky, you will die the first few times (lose all your items except monsters) but once they are strong enough you can succeed. There are 40 randomly changeing floors and they get more and more difficult as you go along. YOu must adjust your mosnters accordingly by class.
9353 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Goof Troop for the SNES is a prime example of Co-op gameplay done right. The game is a charming top-down puzzle adventure game with brilliantly simple controls and the characteristic CAPCOM Super Nintendo music seen in games like "Super Goules n' Ghosts" and "Mega Man 7". The two playable characters, Goofy and Max, have slight differences that force you to play the game differently depending on who you play as. The gameplay is reminiscent of 2004's "The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures", clever puzzles that let you think outside the box to solve. There is a nice difficulty curve that gently eases you in with simple puzzles and later in the game makes you stop and think how to solve the challenge presented. On the down side, the music, while charming, can become distracting while you're thinking through a hard puzzle, and a couple of times puzzles will require you to react fast before an enemy messes everything up forcing you start that particular puzzle over. On the whole, the game is certainly worth the price and is a great game to play with a good friend.
Now, I'm sure you're tired of hearing me talk about the greatness of the game. Of course it has its flaws. Grammatical and spelling errors, no doubt caused by translation problems, are hilarious. ("So, let us here it", instead of "let us hear it") There are also times when the wrong person is talking, or the wrong person is spoke of. In the end, however, the problems aren't so bad as for you to not figure it out in the end. They are also a bit on the rare side, and do not make the game seem too "error-filled" or childish. Sometimes it can get a bit confusing on where you have to go and what you have to do... Sometimes things just seem to happen randomly, with no direct idea of what to do. There are those traditional times when you just want to kick the character and scream "DUH! YOU IDIOT!" And of course finding all 108 Stars is a pain, but that's the challenge of the game.

This is definitely a game that immediately needs to be downloaded to your Nintendo 3DS/2DS. :)
The Ultra Combo was a lengthy auto combo that you could execute after landing at least a three-hit combo. If you could pull this move off when your opponent's lifebar was nearly depleted, it would result in you totally owning your opponent in a torrential downpour of pain, landing brutal hit after brutal hit after brutal hit. In video games, there were few feelings as satisfying as pulling off this move and watching your opponent get thoroughly beaten. After that, the game voice would even scream "ULTRA!" just to cement the moment.
Well, if you're just reading this to advertise, or if you're reading this to buy, take my advice, this is a great find, totally worth it. Even if you don't want to get this for you, if you know someone who wants to find a great game like this, this is a game to get.
As the story goes, Dracula rises once every century to terrorize the the innocents of Transylvania. This is where a Belmont usually comes in to thwart Dracula's evil plots and send him back to where he came from. When Dracula dies (albeit temporarily) his castle vanishes with him. This time, however, things are a little different.
For $107, this is a bargain! The books separately are at least $30 each.

6331 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 just bought this system to go back to the 4 player classics such as Mario cart, Mario party, and super smash bros. I am a huge Xbox 360 fan and still love this system, but it is amazing how far video games have advanced in 10 years.
The use of puzzles through the game is also well done and some are real brainteasers, they are also more inventive than in RE, such as finding the right combination of gases for a poisoned room to gain entry or searching corpses for fingerprints to make a keycard. Much better than RE's simple need key, find key approach.

5522 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember my friend and I playing rampage on the n64 (he has it) but then we went to rent a game and we rented rampage 2. so we played it and noticed that there are different monsters now and you have to unlock the original 3. We couldn't save the game (my guess was he didn't have a memory card for his n64) and it was just like the first game but graphics were better and other stuff i don't remember (we played this like, 3 years ago) and i was the rat and he was the rhino. around level 20 we both got GAME OVER!? In the first rampage for the n64, there was no game over (unless you7 quit) but hey, atleast this had bonus levels too. later i got rampage world tour (the first one) and played it with my friends and i beat it like twice. get the first one instead....Then go for this one because the first will get boring over time.
I don't know if I can find this game, but boy if you can! Find three friends and Play it without mercy.
Anyway, the game is lush and filled with endless amounts of loot. Any monster has a chance to drop rare goodies when slain (based on Alucard's Luck stat), fake walls crumble to reveal hidden platemail, accidentally-tripped switches open bookcases or trapdoors, and zillions of types of monsters appear from all over the place. The music is great and quite haunting, and the game's RPG and money system are quite well developed. Alucard has quick "combo" spells you can use while fighting, and many of the weapons, shields, and armors he finds have their own effects which have to be discovered in game play. I've located weapons that let Alucard teleport, summon the undead to fight for him, call lightning, ice, or fire, or even waves of holy light down on his foes. Everything from helms to circlets to rings to boots can be worn, and Alucard eventually even develops the ability to transform into traditional vampire modes. Dissipate into a swirling cloud of mist and waft through a ceiling vent to escape your enemies, turn into a wolf and charge through crowds of zombies, or transform into a bat and fly around breathing fire on everyone. Lastly Alucard collects various magical relics throughout the game, that do everything from let him breathe underwater to have permament familiars that float around with him on screen and help him out (the dancing runesword is not to be missed). As an example of the thought put into this game, your familiars themselves even gain experience and go up levels, growing both stronger and smarter over time. For example, the runesword familiar at first just kinda floats along behind you, lethargically swinging at things long after they took a bite out of you. But after a while it turns into a gleaming heat seeking weapon of vengeance, mercilessly smiting anything the second it shows up on screen. At one point I turned Alucard into mist and just drifted around while the sword familiar took out a boss for me. This game also has more items and secrets in it than your average Final Fantasy, and is more addictive. It is also one of the least frustrating games you can find; you can save as often as you want in save rooms you find on your map (in a coffin, natch), heal yourself easily, and as a vampire you're more than a match for the sluggish beasts you meet early on. The challenge of the game comes from an easy balance of combat and puzzle solving, rather than a heavy reliance on one or the other.
I think I explained myself correctly, there. It's kind of confusing because there's so many things you have to collect and that's the main reason I can't give the game a perfect 5-star rating. TOO MUCH! In Mega Man Legends you will find SO many weapons and SO many upgrades that it can easily confuse someone (like me) who's normally not exposed to this much activity in a video game.

Battle System (score 8/10): Battles are a basic turn-based system. The usual attack, defend, magic, item commands. As an interesting twist, you can move around the battle screen, thus making position a part of strategy. The only complaint I have with battles is that there is an "A.I." command, whereby you can have the battle automatically fought for you. I didn't really like this because the option is listed first in the menu, which means you'll spend some time accidentally hitting it. It would've been better if they'd put it at the bottom of the menu. Well, this isn't really a big deal since the cursor in the game "remembers" where you last had it and always starts up there. So, once you turn on the game and select "command", the next battle will have the cursor already on "command". This was quite convenient.

2269 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An expansion pack is essential as more and more games are coming out where you need to use the expansion pack. The expansion pack improves graphics on games like South Park and Star Wars and is essential to play games like Zelda Majoras Mask and Perfect Dark. The graphics are greatly improved that if you put two monitors together with one having a nintendo with an expansion pack and one without an expansion pack you would be able to see the difference. Dont miss out on some of the best games about at the moment, buy an exoansion pack and enjoy
Although it has it's short comings it's still the Doom we all know and love.
Graphics: The graphics in this game especially for its time, I thought to be simply unbelievable. The random battles are done in 3-D, a first that I know of, for an rpg to do that on a console system and definately set the bar for rpg's to follow. The cg clips were simply breathtaking at the time but after today's games its hard to believe I thought that when I first played the game. You can tell that they were definitely trying to move past the sprite based characters (which they did in battles) from the previous games but they just couldn't leap that hurdle until Final Fantasy VIII. The backgrounds were interactive instead of just being completely preset, but weren't fully 3-D, I guess you could call it 2-D interactive.
Update (10/19/12): Okay, I am almost through with this game and feel like throwing up. The end is VERY intense, with the Final Egg level almost being impossible due to collision issues and camera bugs, but I got through it. Chaos actually succeeds and completely destroys the city (which is only made worse by the Dreamcast / Gamecube's jaw-dropping graphics), and the song that plays (Open Your Heart) really makes me sick. Awesome.
2020 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Came on time, and works every time, first try. But I will warn you, and this is about the game itself. If you're not into board games, luck, and joystick spinning (wear a glove if you don't like it), you're not going to like this game.
The graphics are good, but nothing amazing. The weapon effects look pretty damn cool, especially the emaciator which looks like ball lightning. The music is fairly decent, mirroring the previous games with a tribal/warrior soundtrack that suits the action nicely.
Problem
1526 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm not a fan of FPS's by far. They're one of my least favorite genres. But this game is just excellent, one of the best licensed games I've had the joy of seeing.
At times also the puzzles and gameplay were a little simplistic--but the story always carried it on, in my opinion. You /wanted/ to know what would happen next, even if you had to do some silly tasks to find out what. As for content: a little violence (you're a cop, after all), a little bit of scantily clad female CGI flesh, and a bit of swearing--nothing over the top. Play it even if you haven't seen the movie--you'll probably want to after you finish the game, though.
6233 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game...
The plot of the game is essentially no different from that of the other Mario games prior to this with the exception of Super Mario Bros. 2; Bowser has kidnapped Princess Toadstool (yes that was her name before she had a name change to Princess Peach) and it's up to Mario and Luigi to rescue her. Bowser has a lot of help this time from his Koopa family much like he did in Super Mario Bros. 3 and they're not going to give her up too easily this time around. Being Mario, he'll just hop his way around town to find her and that'll be the end of it right there.

But for a 16-bit game, SNES Doom is great.

A few other complaints. Fishing is sort of fun but nothing really noteworthy. It's better than most fishing games I've played in other games I admit. Expect to be sitting and fishing a while in order to get the heart piece however. Most heart pieces are pretty challenging to acquire and take some serious effort to get most of them. That's a rare compliment I can give. Some of the other mini games such as riding a horse and shooting targets is pretty fun. I don't really like that part in the desert where you have to follow a ghost through a dust storm. If you fall behind even a *little* bit you'll lose. Performing this same ghost-chasing task earlier in the game in order to obtain the hookshot is more exciting since you're dodging fireballs. The other task earlier on in the game in the Ice Cavern that involves throwing blue fire over red fire is really overlong and entirely puzzle-based. Having to do this once or twice would have been suitable- not 15-20 times. This particular place is a victim of platforms that are basic and uninteresting.

9599 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Final Fantasy Tactics is an incredible accomplishment. While bearing the Final Fantasy name, it is not part of the main numbered series. Final Fantasy Tactics brings a new style of gameplay to the Final Fantasy series: strategy. This is a strategy game. The goal of Tactics is not so much to explore the world, but rather to strategically win battles to advance the story. The only exploration comes in finding where the best place on the battlefield is to put your characters in order to attack the most effectively. This is a difficult game to get into at first, but given the chance the game becomes very addictive and soon may be one of your favorite games. It is that good.
It is, more or less, like the first part. There is aku-aku, boxes to crash, gems (more difficult), new bosses after each floor. And by the by, this game is divided into 5 floors, each floor with 5 doors, each door with a different adventure. You can finish the game, like I did the first time, without collecting gems, but it is not that fun. Hint: If you break all the boxes of one level you are rewarded a gem. There are hidden levels for some gems, you would have to consult the internet for it. Good luck in that.
9585 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game's story is so epic, that at times, it seems that the story was wasted on a game designed with a focus on battles, although at other times, the format of the game seems to suit the story perfectly, as when the characters speak during mid-battle. The plot of this game has the theme of "exploring history in search of truth," and demonstrates, through allegory, the biases of the societal forces which allow for the recording of history, and the tendency of historians to attribute heroic characteristics to the victors of any scenario, regardless of their true alignment, or intentions. At many points in the plot, unexpected events occur, with the attentive player having received just enough information to speculate on the motivations of the characters involved, and playing through the game, there were many such moments at which I speculated improbably twisted scenarios, only to be shocked when future events actually confirmed my dark suspicions, or clarified the scenario to be even more depraved than I had imagined. This is not an incredibly violent game, nor is it atmospherically dark, in the film noir sense. But it is a deeply philisophical game, which doesn't under-represent the magnitude of human suffering, the tendency of humans to abuse power, or the unreliability one's personal allies in societies conducive to individual scheming. The character of Delita, who comes across as contradictorily skeptical and idealistic, is too much of a master-moralist, in the Nietzschean sense, to qualify as a hero, but is too difficult for a player, sensitive towards his motivations, to villainize. Even the abberant supernatural elements of this mostly human and political story work well from a literary standpoint, as the relationship between Ajora, the Lucavi, and those who seek the Zodiac stones is represented with style and subtlety, adding Faustian intrigue to the plot.
3897 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have always been into video games. I was looking forward to buying one of the new systems when one night my mom came home and on the table she put down two controllers,two games, and two memory cards. I asked her why she bought all that stuff and she told me that she got it for an amazingly low price. She thought that it would be a great gift for someone that had the console. Then she allowed me to take one controller out of the box and hold it. I was stunned by how comfortable it was. So then I looked at the box and it said "for use with the SEGA Dreamcast" on it. So then I started to wonder if the Dreamcast is good. after doing some research I decided that the Dreamcast was very cheap but well worth the money. So I decided to get a Dreamcast instead of one of the new systems and I save a couple of hundred bucks.
4460 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is sweet because you can choose from three different story modes, terran, zerg and protoss. and also what is cool about this game is that it is an expansion pack. i don't know/get haow to play mutiplayer on this game but everyone else pry does. you can also make your own place. if only they made one of these for GC,PS2,or XBOX. if you know how to play warcraft you know how to play this game. all the people are different in this game and which fate will you choose?

After the phenomenal, worldwide success of the original Tomb Raider in November 1996, the Eidos Interactive guys put together the sequel, which, in a rare case, surpasses the original with flying colours. To save the game in the first, you had to find a crystal before continuing, wheras in Tomb Raider 2 you have the ability to save the game whenever you feel like. This comes as a great help, especially before taking off into a running jump over deep caverns and steep slopes. Lara also has much greater weaponary comapred to the last game. The first game featured Pistols, Shotgun and Uzis - that was about it. But with this game, you get weapons such as the Grenade Launcher and an M-16 Assault Rifle. While Tomb Raider 1 focused more on enemies in animal form, Tomb Raider 2 has a more worldly feel because the foes are mostly human. But the most notable change on Tomb Raider 2 is the welcome addition of vehicles. Tomb Raider featured none what so ever, but Tomb Raider 2 has a wide variety from the enjoyable speedboat in Venice and the snowmobile in Tibetian Foothills. Lara also took advantage of a make-over. The graphics where background scenery is concerned is still the same as the first game, but Lara herself has changed a lot; her hair is no longer tied in a bun, but flows freely down her back in a pony tail. The reason this wasn't featured in the first game is because the technology wasn't good enough for her hair to be in a pony tail - they couldn't get it to move in motion with her body (rather silly when you think about it now). Lara also possesses the ability to climb certain surfaces. The improved engine also served better lighting facilities, which allowed Ms Croft the ability to wield flares whenever she finds herself in dark areas. When it comes to the levels, the highlights are Venice, Offshore Rig, Tibetian Foothills (short but sweet - involves driving to one end of a road over pits to find a key, before driving all the way back to open a door that allows you to exit and begin the next level), Barkhang Monastery (HINT: Whatever you do, DON'T shoot the monks, they are here to help! They will dispatch any henchmen who try to kill you so you don't have to kill them! Accidently shoot one, and you'll have hundreds of monks trying to kill you!) and Temple of Xian.
Compared to modern day 3D platformers (which are mostly inspired by this series), the graphics and gameplay might seem rather outdated to some gamers

1486 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Its an unfortunate fact that people are looking to games like the Call Of Duty series to fill their gaming demands when people are also forgetting that this little game called Doom is 1 of few reasons that first-person shooters like Call Of Duty actually exist.
Probably Mega Man's girlie voice (he's a GUY, Capcom!). In fact, ALL of the voice acting in this game is quite horrid. I also didn't like it that they dismissed the Japanese intro music and while I'm not a fan of Japanese music because I can't understand what they're saying, it's an upbeat tune that shouldn't have been ignored (and FAR better than X6's heavy metal theme).
4295 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 the only problem i have is that it's too difficult. i'm not sure if it's adaptive. i'm getting clobbered. kinda reminds me of playing chess against the computer.
There are also mini-games: The 4th Survivor which you took control of Hunk where you have to grab the G-Virus and make a mad dash to the end, and also Tofu Survivor which is pretty much like The 4th Survivor, except you only have a knife to fight the zombies, but also it also let us know that at least the developers have a sense of humor.
7262 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Game developer Rare has done a great job of creating a unique and fun game for all. This is a game that requires you to hone your skills and patience in order to complete the challenges. It has a wide variety of challenges, from clearing a nuclear truck's path to finishing laps in a certain time. There are three different difficulty levels - easy, medium, and hard - that you earn by beating all the levels in the preceding difficulty. There is a lot to do in this game.
8483 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Is that a joke? This game is fantastic and still fun today.
6573 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 These games were the first remakes Square released... and the most memorable remakes for many fans of the series too. This remake brought Final Fantasy V to our shores after all and many fans loved the fact that Final Fantasy VI's remake was faithful to the original AND it got rid of most of the censorship too! (Younger gamers like me though only got to experience what it was like to play Final Fantasy VI for the first time though.) Both games are faithful to the originals too... which many fans of the series will like too. I'd definitely recommend it.
Also, on the sounds angle, there are only a limited number of things that the announcer says. So if you play a given character through an 8 round series of fights, you are going to hear the same thing over and over again.
Wicked witch Gruntilda takes Banjo's sister to hey layer, miles away in a realistic 3D cartoon world.
6047 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 My sister bought Grand Theft Auto 2 (GTA2) a long time ago and I still play it. GTA2 is a game where you can do almost anything. You can jack cars from anyone including the police. The main point of this game is that you have to work for 7 ruthless gangs without getting your hide thrown in jail. The jobs start off easily but then increase each time you work for a gang. The harder the job is the more money you get. But, in order to work for a gang you have to show some respect. There are seven different gangs in the city and each of them hate each other. When you work for one gang then another gang looses respect for you then you gotta kill gang members from the gang that likes you then the gang that hates you will respect you so you can get another job from the gang that likes you. Well, it's kinda tricky at first but once you get the hang of getting respect from another gang it's pretty fun. There are over 100's of jobs and over 100's of cars. You can choose from armored lemos to tanks or even ice cream trucks! Also, this game is free. You can do anything to achieve your goals. You can put a bomb in a car and drive it to a gang's safehouse and blow them sky high! Almost anything you can do. That's why I love this game! If you love being the bad guy sometimes and love a game where you can do anything from getting chased by cops to working for dangerous gangs then get this game!
Here's what I thought of Star Craft/Star Craft Brood War, part of the BattleChest collection for the PC.
Have you ever been hit so far you haven't been able to get back into the game to help your buddies? After being hit into the air, tap Z as soon as you hit the ground. When you hit the ground, you will spring up from the ground quickly, and you can be back in the game faster. Also, you can press forward or backward to roll after you have sprung back into play.
38 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Installing the game was a struggle (because of games for windows live bugs).
6722 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 what can i say, this game was awsome before and it still is. me and my brother have so much fun playing it.
Like all NBA JAMs, totally outrageous basketball from start to finish. You can expect anything and everything in this one from more out of this world dunks to being "On Fire" shooting and of course the newly added alley oops and free throws. Yes that's right, no more shoving your opponents all over the place because now they get 2 foul shots, each worth 3 points a piece (and even Shaq can hit these free throws!)
I have never completed Sonic, but that doesn't make the game any less addictive. There's the constant quest to collect 100 rings in an attempt to extend game time. There's the challenge to find all of the secret short cuts and bonuses. And the boss battles with the evil Doctor Robotnik is just tons of fun. Maddening at times. But fun, none the less. If you have this game tucked away somewhere, you owe it to yourself, to dust off the Genesis and have another go. I promise you, its just as much fun the second, third, and fourth time around.
7919 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Have had this game for years and still play it
It's a lot like Final Fight in third person, except that you can perform different combo's, gaining each one each level. Otherwise you can just tap on the attack buttons and use the basic moves. I loved using the combo's, and if you can button mash different combo's you'll discover them on your own and not need the game to give them to you every level. Each character has his and her own selection of cool martial art moves and it's awesome to see them go into effect. The enemies are hacked into various body parts like arms, legs and heads being amputated. Another great feature is the level design, they're so detailed and gloomed up with fog, rain and dirt that it makes it so much fun to simply run around and explore everything. It does look somewhat grainy and pixels to become apparent the closer you become to objects, but this gives the game an even darker look you can really appreciate. The levels are also very unique from one another giving the player some great variety.
2607 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything was perfect! Highly recommend buying from this seller.
The item roster is slightly different from Super Mario Kart, but it's fun to use them all.
-Great replay value
Humor:Duke is one funny son-uva-gun. He says all these stupid yet funny things like I've got balls of steel! and Come get some! plus all these other outragouse and not-for-Amazon.com things(play the game to find out what).Also this game has strong sexual themes for those of you that are sensetive about that but you can turn the gore off if you want.
- Most of the games may be pretty familiar to even casual gamers of Nintendo family games, but they also don't feature motion controllers
The only reason I played games as a kid was to see what happened next. I only wanted a new weapon in Mega Man because it was cooler than the M-Buster. It was a fetish. Mastering a challenge to achieve fun was foreign to me.
7709 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is a classic. And, I forgot how long it is... This game is a long game if you're hunting all the heart cells.
The cheats are FUNNY! I mean, honestly, try the invisibility mode. You can shoot a near bye dashboard when a Gaurd is near, and that gaurd will start freaking out and look around to see who did that. This makes the game easier also, and the invincibility mode is good too, although I tried and realized that you can't have the invisibility mode and invincibility at the same time. You can also make the bad guys heads small and stuff, which is really funny to see.
114 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Absolutely Horrible...It wasn't even Logitech. It was Konami and it froze my xbox one repeatedly when I unplugged it. These also sound horrible with Rock Band 4 compared to the mic the game comes with.
9254 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is crazy, I love it. Great RPG. Would suggest purchasing if you are in to the RPG type games.
I found the initial learning curve to be pretty quick however more then a few of the objectives are fairly difficult so i wouldn't recommend the game for young children or the easily frusterated. (you're going to need to save often to be successful)
But I keep getting drawn back to the fantastic Alpha Centauri by Sid Meier and company. Although sort of a sequel to Meier's highly popular Civilization II, it is just different enough to be easily the best civilization type computer game currently available.
The graphics are pretty good, but there is something about the characters (human and non-human) that doesn't look quite right. The scenery is excellent though.
6776 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Sega Genesis "The Lion King" is one of the best 2D platforms available on the console. Using the full capabilities of the system it features massive levels and intelligent AI. This game is not as simple as one may think. Some levels and I mean the first only you can run through. After that the enemies and obstacles can be a great danger. If you happen to run out of continues you must start from the beginning of the game. Don't worry you have many chances in game to get more single lives and even whole continues that in easy mode = 8 lives. If that isn't enough this game does support a cheat menu for invincibility and level select. However the cheat menu is hidden and you have to enter a simple combo at the menu to unlock it. This game is an amazing feat of the Genesis era supporting stereo audio and separate music for each level all packed into a small cartridge. This is a great game.
Perfection.
There's 4 possible solutions:
3710 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 All gamers have had the experence of playing a game (be it an RPG or anything else) they felt had its fair share of flaws, but has that one, very bright redeeming quality that makes all those flaws take a backseat to that one positive.
2738 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is so much fun you get to fly through rings then try to stop a car from hitting a business man but you never can its great!
An oldy but a goody!!
781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of if not the best game on the n64.
The gameplay is also pretty good, but it's always varied, although it's mostly a platform game.
3. Tomb Raider 2
The Bad:A little difficult near the end,ammo depletes fast,and health seems to deteriorate in gun fights(it goes from 100 to 65 and you're like wha!!??).That is all I see bad in this awesome game and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
8621 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
7260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best games for the 64 and it sells for a fair price. We all know Rare made some of the best games on the system and this was no exception. To sum up the plot you are a driver is a set of various construction / destruction vehicles tasked with clearing the way for nuclear missiles. If you don't clear the level the rockets go boom.
Now onto gameplay; the controls of Sonic the Hedgehog are absolutely amazing! The physics are entirely momentum-based--meaning that you have the ability to roll down a slope in order to pick up speed. To do this, all you have to do is walk up to a downward slope, press the down button, and watch your hedgehog go. While in this ball form, Sonic will kill almost any robot he touches.
Secret: Exercise in the Skies
8581 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Me and my friends would play this all day long. Each one of us would get one person and do just their stage. Still never beat it tho.
7300 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game sounds awesome on paper. Race through courses at 700 or more miles per hour against 20 or so different racers. Its even better than it sounds once you play it. It is so addicting because of the high speed and challenging race tracks and it really makes me feel good to hear the announcer say "Alright. First place". All of the cars are about the same except for 3 or 4 that are just absolutely fast.
Super Mario Land definitely shows its age, but it's still a very fun game to play. It may only take you one sitting to beat, but the current cheap prices for the game should merit a purchase for the Mario fan.
9576 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Since I have been retro gaming again recently, and thus tactics, 8 and 9 were dusted off and put in my venerable PS2. I felt it necessary to perhaps review these titles for all to see.
If it wasn't for the permanent marker, I would give this a 5 star.
But on to the game itself. As the subject title implies, (for me) it is and always will be, a timeless classic in the history of videogames, as it is almost the first real game I ever played and actually tried and succeeded in completing. For the time, it's graphics were close to cutting edge, and the story is simple, yet actually completing everything 100%, is quite a difficult task depending on what part you're trying to do so on. The gameplay mechanics are a little stiff, but no more than expected from a game released in 1998 on a system that has been rebooted 4 times since the one this game was developed for. If you care at all about great games, or if you played this in your childhood, you're going to want this for your collection.
8074 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm not terribly sure what drives people ga-ga over the gameplay in Vampire: The Maquerade Redemption. I assume the game's popularity has more to do with atmosphere and subject matter than anything. I didn't enjoy the actual play very much.
Overall - it's a great game. If the multiplayer AI were more vicious you'd see 5 stars from me.
After all these years, Final Fantasy Tactics is still a game I enjoy returning to every once in a while. The engaging story and unique characters make it a truly enjoyable experience no matter how old you, or the game, get. And because of the class system, it can be played differently every time. Ever done a solo calculator run?
8875 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
Best game ever (so far).
I can honestly say that I probably won't use this product in the future. I wouldn't even recommend this as a back up because of it's poor quality and especially not as your main TV hookup. I have another 3 in 1 but it's an AC adapter and it's the same thing. These unlicensed after market remakes never seem work the way they should.
Suikoden 1 and it feel extremely alike, you can still love the characters, and the relationship between Joey and Hero is tremendously powerful. Now, I didn't fully appreciate the ending until I got the good one. There are 3 different ones. One is lame, one is semi okay but sad slightly, and the best one is a tremendously great and happy ending, even sad to see it end so well.
the next game arcade hit, 4 yrs in a row for Sega. For 4 yrs
`Donkey Kong Country' was also the largest ever cartridge at the time carrying a massive (at the time) 32mb, and `til this very day the game remains a classic. If you still have a Snes or your a retro gaming fan like myself you should pick this up as soon as possible.
Chemical plant- 10/10: Sonic had a ton of speed in Chemical Plant. If this were a Mario level you would never complete it in time. The level is so massive, but Sonic made it look like a trip to the local market. The theme is one of the most catchy things ever produced as well, but the boss was a another LOL moment. Eggman spends half an hour filling up a tiny bucket with chemicals, and then tries to dump it on Sonic. Poor Eggman's Eggpod exploded before he could even finish filling up the bucket.
Overall rating 10!!!!!!
Seriously though, if you do not have this game you are missing out on the greatest video game ever created, and it isn't just for kids either, I'm 18 and i still love this game after 10 years. I would also recommend getting Prime, and the first Metroid. Zero Mission is also pretty good, but be aware it is extremely short, but still MUCH better than Fusion, which was a total let-down.
The Saturn was so under-appreciated in North America....
729 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 An oldy, but a goody. Countless hours of battles between my brothers and I. Only problem was screen peeking, which we solved with a screen divider made from cardboard(Oh yeah). Definitely recommend it to anyone with a N64.
Wake up UBI, look at all of your other software title reviews, both here on Amazon and on gaming sites. People are not as stupid as you think, and will simply find a different game to fill their time with and throw their money at if their freedoms are inhibited by your software.
I have been playing this game so much that you'd think I was sick of it by now. Guess again: I'm just raring to get back home and play some more.
5781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, I will start off by saying that this is my first venture into the Final Fantasy franchise, so if you are looking for someone who can compare it to other FF games, look elsewhere. But from what I can see, this game is truly the best game I've ever played--I never imagined a game so great could exist anywhere on the planet earth.
....The DC has a huge library of titles, 128 bit graphics, and everything on the system is what it's advertised to be. ....
1360 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just as described, my son was very happy with this product when he opened the package. Well worth the money.
The graphics are definitely impressive. The control scheme works perfectly. I also found the story to be fairly impressive. Tremendous improvements over Goldeneye in Perfect Dark are obvious. The addition of simulants and a Challenge Mode add exponentially to the replay value. The difficulty levels vary greatly, which increases the potential audience greatly.
9101 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Samurai Showdown on SNES was better than the SEGA version. Why? Because unfortunately, the SEGA version was a little choppy and a lot of the sounds were taken out. Also, the fat "ninja" who wore pink, Earthquake, was also left out. \
The game has admirable voice acting to make the gaming experience feel better. It's voice acting is usually done correctly being very precise and on time so don't expect voice acting timing like in Silent Hill. You'll experience some great sounding explosions, and the gun shots sound unbelievably real. If you turn up the volume and play with the volume set on very high, when a zombie pops out you will probably need a diaper change, but you will get retribution by blasting his head of and hearing the clarity of sound effects.
1161 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 THE BEST N64 GAME. It's easy, difficult to totally master, and is fun to play again and again. The bosses are creative and original, and the dungeons are fun and easy. Storyline is pretty good, better than the "save the princess" generalization it's often given. The characters are a quiet hero of time, an eternally youthful forest girl, a wild rock man from the firey Death Mountain, a rebellious fish woman, a determined royal guard, a sexy thief, the "princess", and of coure, Ganon the bad guy.
5744 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I liked this game. I mean Final Fantasy VII is still the god final fantasy game but this was ok.
So what more can you ask for? Good story, memorable characters, fun leveling system and unique, creative environments. I will always come back to play Final Fantasy VIII, and if you haven't done so already, you are missing out on an unforgettable gaming experience.
8744 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game should go down in history! its fun cool,and most likely the best original game ever! the character is new,fast,cool,and full of surprises.hes sonic! i especially love the music in labyrinth zone and the final zone with the ball. its the same music in the options menu in sonic advance(and the first boss in x zone)! kool isn't it?laaaaalalalalaaaaalaaaalalalala o its my favorite! if u want it its no more here so buy it off ebay! and o yah...super sonic isn't here >_<
Lastly, the game as released in the box needs to be patched badly. The patch is available online from Interplay, but the game should have at least worked out of the box.
181 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Easy install and feels great. The skin fits really well and functions properly. I did have to trim up around the triggers because they moved around while I used them, but after that it was perfect.
7147 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Before I had Perfect Dark I had 007 Goldeneye. Since at the time I had no idea what Perfect Dark was, I had no idea Goldeneye was crap compared to it. Then I got Perfect Dark, and I felt like throwing Goldeneye out the window! This game blows it out of the water! PD is an amazing follow up to a great game, and in what PD has that 007 doesn't is...
99 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Didnt work for me on xbox one and rockband. Not sure why. I blame obama.
You better know your character inside and out or you won't last a minute.
3674 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Game. THis game made me so unboard during the summer of 2001! THe graphics are O.K. but TEkken 4 is going to be better. THis game is you are trying to be the winner of the Iron Fist Tournament 3 or something like that. Great Game overall
2933 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Of course 5 stars
Gameplay: 9.5
4596 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 JJGAmes sold it for a good price but its pretty scratched and comes w/o the case.
Yoshi's Island has a unique array of boss characters. They each have different strengths and weaknesses, and there are two per world, which should make for an interesting challenge. Although, in my opinion, they are quite easy. Something else I like about Yoshi's Island are all the different enemies; there are dozens! Each one is unique as well, and adds a lot of diversity to the game.
6. Juggernaut (He's huge and probably deals more damage than anyone!)
Pro's: Nice graphics, nice control (with a Gravis X-terminator), Nice sound, nice puzzles, and good storyline. Many people have complained about how the controls suck. If you have a Gravis X-terminator, you will have no problems. The default buttons are setup up perfectly and you'll never have to touch the keyboard unless you are moving your mouse to save. Also someone said that Indy moves too slow - I have not thought that at all. He runs and jumps with good speed. I'm running on a 450 Mhz Celeron with a VooDoo5500 AGP with 128 MB of RAM on 1024x768 on 32 bit mode and I see no slow downs. I think these people are playing on a keyboard or some lower end gamepad and machine. The puzzles are pretty simple, but not too easy. Most of them are logical, but some I have had to go on the internet and look for walkthrough's for this game. The first time I got this game, it kept me playing for 2 hours. I never play games that long!
9181 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 While this probably is not the best game for the snes it is very simple and basic good for a kid trying to get the feel of wrestling games on the snes for the first time.
*************CONCLUSION********************
2849 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I thought Spyro The Dragon was great,but when I was done,I was looking for some other great action/adventure games. Ape Escape took the place of excitment,and it didn't fail. You'll love this game!
The puzzles are a pretty good variety: some inventory, some conversation, some mechanical. Most are pretty easy once you find what you're looking for, but there are a couple of frustrating pixel hunts where it's possible to miss the one thing you need to move on. Also, sometimes the inventory, which flashes when it can be used, has to be positioned in exactly the right place. There are also a few action sequences and you can die. Usually I really object to this in adventure games, but _Sanitarium_ handles the action the way it should be handled: the sequences are pretty straightforward, if you die you get to start again at the beginning of the sequence without going through a tedious "You failed" ending sequence or reloading from page one, you have infinite lives, and the pieces of the puzzle you have managed to solve STAY solved, so you don't have to repeat what you've already done over and over. Take a tip from this, game designers!
The only downsides to this game are Mario's horribly annoying voice, an occasionally fussy camera, and the possibility of graining your N64 control stick when you fight Bowser. These minor neusances are mild though and they don't really hinder the gameplay. All other downsides merely point to the characters themselves: Mario speaks with a bad Italian accent voiced by Charles Martinet instead of his old Brooklyn one from the cartoon series. I also don't like the changes made to Princess Toadstool. Instead of the spunky redhead from the cartoon series, she seems more like a "dumb blonde" with a weird voice.
the blood looks like crushed cranberry sauce.
And finally as far as length of time it can stay interesting the game is longer them many RPGs won't be beaten on a short rental. If you get this game buy it.
7179 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Before even HALO dared to hit gamers with the X-Box, PERFECT DARK from the old N64 first came to our senses in 2000.
Graphics aren't great, but that's not what makes this game a winner. The gameplay is constant. It is frantic at times. Should you send Han on that sabotage mission or leave him to help lead troops into battle against an Imperial system? And some characters are Force-sensitive, allowing them to be trained by Luke (or Vader or the Emperor) once they reach a certain rank.
3458 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this console had a short spotlight life. it was king for 19 months, but sadly the PS2 killed it. i wanted one back in 1999, but sadly, i had a N64. sad isn't it?
With a revolutionary graphics engine and fantastic gameplay to boot, `Dkc' took the gaming world by storm and indeed acted as the final nail in the Megadrives coffin. Also notable is that this was the first `Big hit' from gaming giants Rare who would follow with the classics `Goldeneye' and `Perfect Dark'.
In conclusion I will say this. This would be a great game if it were merely civilization in space. But what makes it the best of all time for me is the story. There is a sci-fi storyline to this game, and when interacting with other faction leaders you almost feel like you're watching a historical epic with you as one of the main characters (at least that's how I felt the first time I played). I once even found myself daydreaming about conversations I was having with different faction leaders. Maybe I had just gone a little too long without sleep, maybe I was just playing a little too much, or maybe...this is the greatest strategy game ever made. Now to get back to reading the prologue I downloaded off of the offical website and download some wallpaper...
All in all, this is definitely worth buying, especially if you like a good love story.
The story of The Last Revelation is very intricate - gripping, without being too unbelievable. While exploring Egypt, Lara discovers the lost tomb of the Ancient Egyptian God, Set. He was outwitted and imprisoned in a secret tomb, and warns that he will one day return to seek vengance. Lara unwittingly unleashes its ancient evil, fulfilling the prophecy that threatens to plunge mankind into eternal darkness! In a race against time, Lara must use all her wit and skill to re-imprison Set to save the world from unspeakable evil and Armageddon! The Last Revelation begins with a flashback level from the 1980's when Lara was 16 on her first exploration in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. She is led around by her mentor, Werner Von Croy. This is really just a training level that teaches new Tomb Raider players the ropes on how to control Lara. After this, the game really begins - in the present day. We learn that on their escape from the tomb in Cambodia, Lara left Von Croy to die after the tomb began to collapse around her. It's not long, however, until we find out that Mr Von Croy is indeed alive and well, and on the look out for Lara to get revenge! The game is split into six different sections; Training Levels, Recovering the Amulet of Horus, Discovering the Truth, The Search for the Armor, The Search for Jean-Pierre and The Final Conflict. This game has been giving a rating of 11+, but I think it should be at least a 15+ because the graphics are much better than the first two games, making everything look more life like. I admit that some of the levels on this game, especially towards the end scared me to death! I used to sit there with both eyes squinted, scrwaming my head off as the sweat used to pour from my hands...pretty sad when you think about it now! Despite this, the levels are amazingly intricate and full of life and colour - much more detailed than any of the games in the series. Since the game is set entirely in Egypt, you get a real feel to what life is like over there and almost become part of the game. This game took me nine months to complete (December 1999-September 2000) and I have to say that I enjoyed every second of it! Lara has a variety of new features and you also have to go back and forth between levels to find a particular object that will open the door to the finale. The cut-scenes that run through the entire game to tell the story are absolutely mind-blowing. The graphics are brilliant - it's just like watching a film...and Lara's boobs seem to get bigger as the series goes along! The last level truly is one of the greatest, most spectacular levels in video gaming history which involves a confrontation with the God Set! In the final cut-scene of the game, Lara is seen exiting the crumbling tomb to find Von Croy at the entrance. Emotion takes over and he puts out his hand, but it's too late. The tomb collapses with Lara still inside. This really was a tense moment for Tomb Raider fanatics as they were left wondering if this was it for Lara, if there favourite compuiter game series was over for good. They need not have worried as Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness followed!
9756 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first put my hands on it the first time it was one of the best racing games available. Now, more than ten years later it has little to offer. Despite this it was a good game. I have recently purchased it and added it to my retro collection which I think was a good choice although I'm probably never going to play it again.
Knowing that, Namco still had the audacity to lower Pac-Man to this sorry state? To portray Pac-Man not as an iconic leader of the classic gaming era, but rather as some overly emotional twit at the mercy of your slingshot?

7977 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This a great game for you, who likes to solve medium problems, loves to talk with interesting creatures and beat evil lurks! This Zelda was one of the first adventure/role games I played trough. It lasted a long time until I finally met Ganon himself and I got the Trio force back. I have many reasons to recommand this fantastic game. 1. Imagine yourself sleeping in your own house in rainy night... Suddenly, you hear your uncle's voice that wants you to come King's castle because some evil enemies are there. You wake up and dress your clothes. It's time to find out what is going on. Later, you find your uncle who is just dying because a bad Afgahnim strikes him deadly. He gives you his sword and hopes that you can beat the evil Afgahnim. And this little story was only beginning. I think that Zelda's storywriters have an unbelievable imagination! 2. Music makes this game enjoyable and comfortable to play because it sounds so good. Especially, the melody of the castle boss has written so exciting that you really make fighting a fine situation. 3. Game characters and creatures are made with good taste and personal way. You can meet Zora's water human, centauries, pig soldiers, witches, crystal maidens, talking woods and so on 4. Problem solving is a major challenge. This is not game that last only few hours because there so many difficult problems to solve. Use you brain and try to find answers without guidelines. Don't get angry if you don't find to answer immediately. Ask your role-play friends to help because they will advice you. 5. Items you collect are variable. Bow, hook shoot, shovel, bombs Are very valuable to you if you want to survive all enemies, castles and challenges. If you play this classic game, you'll know, why this one of the best games in the world Entertainment is guaranteed
Even the characters are lame. I thought the release of Kiddy Kong in DKC3 was dumb, but now we have three new characters that couldve easily been replaced by 2 old ones. Tiny is the spitting image of Dixie, and Lanky is the babyish side of Kiddy while Chunky is, well the chunky side.
Many enemies have blood fiercely squirting out of their bodies when you attack them, forcing me and my children to look away from the TV screen. Because me and my children understand that if we look at the screen and see this violence, we will throw up all over ourselves and even worse, we might even have trouble making it through the day without screaming in fear that the same brutal treatment might happen to us if we're not careful. A little bit of blood is fine, but some of the blood in Symphony Of The Night is a bit too graphic and plentiful. It's enough to terrorize you. So the best thing to do would be to try and jump over these bloody enemies so you won't have to attack them, though in many places, avoiding enemies won't be easy.
Im a girl and I think its still cool even if im not a guy. This is NOT waste of your money.
The gameplay and controls in the game, while doing nothing really new for the genre, are loose and easy. This is a system that will never be perfect, lacking the fluidity of the Tomb Raider games and the precision of point-and-click adventures, but does the job nicely. The auto-aim of games like Residnet Evil isn't present, so shooting can become a tense and exciting exercise - but you'll more often than not end up running scared from whatever it is you can't see.
This is the game that made video games become really popular. If you stop by Funcoland or any store with SNES games pick up this game today along with Super Mario All-Stars, another great SNES game with 4 Mario games on it.

Unfortunately, first-person combats are not as fun as they could be. Monsters respawn (shudder!). And, depending on the skills you acquired at the start of the game, you may not be skillful enough to combat efficiently at the beginning, and will be prone to dying over and over again and having to keep restoring your save games (which, on my Pentium II 400 with 96MB, takes over 1 minute per restore).
Whether you've played this game before or not, if you want a trip down the nostalgic lane then play Ape Escape!

Good multiplayer game, not bad single player game.
Over the years, I've played every Mario game in the main series either at or near launch, from the 1985 "Super Mario Bros." to the 2012 "New Super Mario Bros. 2" and all the games in between, missing only two: the 1989 "Super Mario Land", the most insubstantial Mario game in existence, and the 2002 "Super Mario Sunshine" [from 2002] for the Gamecube.
A Battle.net community full of people would decapitate their mothers if it meant getting a good item. Although this isn't Blizzards fault, you'll still have to deal with it when you play online.
GRAPHICS
Mystic Cave- 7/10: This level focused more on puzzle then speed. Unlocking rock doors got really frustrating. I've seen Sega have better ideas then a cave, but it was not that bad.

So, Final Fantasy VII gets a perfect score. For all its imperfections and hype, it offers too memorable and inimitable a trip to deserve anything less.
That is all I can tell you without ruining anything. Just try the game and you'll be sure to love it.
8625 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Need I say anything?
And the gameplay?
5. Woods of mystery(88%)Loads of neat secrets.
8428 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a lot like an early final fantasy game remixed to have a Mario Bros. theme (sans Luigi) Being an RPG it offered much more insight into the Mushroom kingdom world. Also the game made great use of a 3-D style playing field in a time when games were still mostly flat. Tip: This product will outlast a wii download version.
7973 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Zelda LTP is one of the best games ever made. The plot is superb in every way. The level desighn is off the chart. This game truly deserves some credit. I was so addictive to this game when I first got it which was round 1996. The Game was simply a masterpiece. The controls for the snes was good I really had fun with it acctually.
The Ocarina of time is one of few artistic highlights I encountered in my life...it's almost ridiculous when I think about what I've just wrote, what about literature, art and cinema?
You got a Dreamcast?...GET THIS! It will "obvioulsy" save some of the biggest and baddest DC games around. Too far In Soul Calibur? Had enough skatin' and doin' some nice Graffiti in Jet Grind Radio?
Even though, there's not really ALL that much to do in these cities, you probably won't notice it too much. All the stuff is pretty fun. You get to put out fires, rescue people, chase down speeders, etc. A fun little thing is that when you transport people, if you start to descend as fast as you can, the little displays of them in your chopper show them getting all flustered and scared. Classic.
-THE MUSIC SOUNDTRACK HERE IS SOME OF THE BEST IN VIDEOGAME MUSIC. Seriously. This ranks up there with Mega Man 2, Gradius 2 & 3, Castlevania 4 & SotN, and Turrican as far as jaw-dropping video game music goes. Not a single one of these tunes is bad, and all are very catchy, probably some of the best that you'll find on the Genesis. My favorites have to be the Chemical Plant, Aquatic Ruin, (2-player) Mystic Cave, and Metropolis tunes.
3) There are a few super moves that are not in MvC part 2. Like Chun Li's has four supers in this game, while she has only three in part 2.
This game is packed with options, including the requisite multiplayer feature (itself loaded with options) several one-player historical campaigns and a special campaign specifically made to teach you the game. My favourite part is the campaign/scenario editor, where you can build your own battle from scratch.
The graphics are some of the best I've seen for the SNES. While they do look a little cartoony, they look like wonderfully hand-drawn canvas pictures. The paralax scrolling is nice as well. The music for each level is extremely catchy, like the jungle theme.

3133 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lets face it people, this is the reason you bought a Playstation. Its the game that made me buy one. Although the game is not without its problems that are irritatingly noticble now (a horrible translation, bad grammer, etc) for its time this game was revolutionary. Square made great use of FMV technology to progress this very anime like story line. FF VII is one of three titles argued to be the best of them (VI, VII and VIII), and is the game that started the RPG revolution that made Playstation what it is today.
8829 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very good. It has great levels, and it's a good challenge.
7431 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 very fun to play
2465 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many well known (and some not so well known)classic Nintendo characters fight it out here. Imagine Mario against Link?IS that possible?Here it is, you can even throw in a Pikachu!.The combat system is easy enough and each character has a blend of moves and taunts. Some characters are good for close rang while others are good at middle ground. The levels branch off from the characters own worlds. Like Link would have a castle roof top to fight on. Yoshi would have a little story book zone and so on. Colors can be changed for the outfits so you can tell who's who if you play as the same character as oneanother. The weapons span out from each of the characters franchises with a Mario fire flower and so on. I can't believe how exspensive this is this is truly a must have.
2816 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love this game and how interactive it was. Very memorable. Finally beat it all the way after it lagged so much back in the day on a pirated copy.
It has all the stuff I liked.
There is 2 reasons that I think you should buy this over StarCraft... One is that it has two GREAT previews of the upcoming game WarCraft 3 and the game Diablo 2. The other reason is that not everyone can afford computers that are incredibly fast. So if you can not play StarCraft very quickly and it goes slow on b.net for you, then WarCraft2 is something you must buy because it will work much more effectively.
2056 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I've had this game basically since it launched in 2000. I must say, the graphics are rather impressive for an N64 game, and the gameplay is great. The minigames are fun, especially when playing with other people. The only real problem I had with this game is how it didn't last long at all. It has about 100-150 mini games, but you can easily beat the game and unlock them all within about a week of good playing time.
People often refer to this as an action RPG. I guess that makes sense. You do level up, sort of, as you play. And you do collect weapons, magic, and gadgets, which you also power up. But it really feels like an action game.
9091 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Wow. There isn't much to say about this game other than simply "Wow". Sarcastically mind you.
1598 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love this game.
7150 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was a little creepy for a 5 year old back in the day. But it came in time and me and my cousin played it and it work's great. =)
And so the DKC trilogy ended with this underrated gem as it was the least liked of the three. Rare would go on to make bigger and better games on the Nintendo 64 and they will always be remembered for the contributions they made during the SNES era. If you've played through Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, then you already played this game. If you haven't done so, track down a used copy or get yourself a Wii and download it from the Virtual Console service for 800 points ($8.00.) Long live, DKC trilogy!!!
134 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While the product is what it is described as, it unfortunately will give me no signal whatsoever. I believe it is a fault of the a/v cable side, as plugging that in, unplugging it, blowing on it, hissing at it, calling it names, then plugging it back in seems to make it work again. I did check and have the problem across more than one tv, so it's not the tv's fault. I have no way to determine with confidence if it is a fault of the Wii, but I doubt so, as the Wii has no problem with its standard definition cabling that it came with (why, Wii, did you not include component/hdmi cabling by default? HD isn't that rare). Ah, but it is the most inexpensive version of this cable I could find, and the picture is markedly better using this than the original cabling.
The only quarrel I have with the N64 is Nintendo coming to the conclusion that it should go cart based instead of disc. Carts couldn't hold as much information as the disc based PS1, so often cut-scenes or intro videos were cut out to save room. Not a complete deal breaker but not the smartest move. This also equaled games being highly compressed and looking blurry or washed out. Nintendo has always been a step behind the pack, but I believe had they chosen to go the disc route they may have won that gens console war.
Unfortunately, there are some subtle problems with this game that make it vastly inferior to the previously mentioned titles, and cause the game play to be rather slow and frustrating.
ps2 with even fancier graphics. After almost 6 years, Half-Life
3831 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Alright, ill start off with the bad,then the good. The first bad part of the game that plagues every sport game, it takes to much blankin memory. Good lord, the back says it takes 184.hey, they {were incorrect], 189.sounds like it doesnt make a difference, well it does.if it took as much as they say it did,i wouldnt have had to delete game files to play it.....another thing, although the games sound is excellent, the voive over becomes repetetive after some amount of hours in gameplay. Now to the good. The gameplay is great,decently fast, with varied difficulty levels. However, if you're playing rookie, then you move up to pro.its almost impossible, the learning curve is high. But the graphics look really great.im not comparing this game to its more famous counterpart nfl2k1. Im saying the graphics are great, sound is just as great,and gameplay is excellent. You can create your own player(it has a good create a player mode)or even a team!!however, what really stinks is you cant play with a created team in a season,thats stupid. Now the season mode is pretty cool.you could have fun with this even if you don't like football, and if you do like me, youll have ablast. And with the great price it has, it won't put a big bend in your wallet.solid.
8664 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Really good times with this game do much fun! One of the best game for the super Nintendo. A must have for any true hardcore Nintendo fan!
9411 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Lovely seller! Highly recommended! :)
Other Recommendations:
THE GOOD
But I wasn't having fun. I realized that the game was pretty deep, and dwelling deeper into the game's cool storyline would require more of the bad AI, terrible - I mean HORRIBLE combat system, and scrappy mouse driven interface. I couldn't take it anymore. I wished I could just watch the game instead of play it, then I would of been happy.
6647 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Morpheus offers a haunting and intricate story, elaborate settings, and a significant amount of game play. The dialogue is well-written and I found myself drawn into the characters and story and not wanting the game to end. Puzzles range in difficulty from easy to fairly difficult, but all were fun to solve.
The gameplay is almost the same...you'll find yourself rolling the first 4-5 weeks, notice the difficulty start increasing, and by Week 12 or 13 you'll have a heck of a time running OR passing. Fortunately, so long as you have a good defense, it's really easy to stop the computer. I think the most they've scored on me using the Steelers (and I mean, the Steelers are useless on offense in this game) is 14 points. The real joy of this game has always been playing head to head with another player.

6733 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Right off the bat, I must tell you now. I am not really a huge fan of Batman. Never watched any movies or the shows. However, I played a couple of the NES games.
Technical Issues: The game has been quite stable on my system, even though I have XP with service pack 2. Be sure to install the latest game patch before playing.

Innovation: 1 of 10
Going back now, yes, even though back then I didn't think it was possible back in 1996 when I first played this, we moved far beyond this game graphically. The polygons look dated, and the camera has gotten a notorious repution, with IGN even calling the camera system "broken" by today's standards. And yes, subsequent titles may have perfected the 3D gameplay, but really, it was Mario that led the charge, and even today the game holds up well. Now I play "Super Mario 64" with my own kids who love it too.
9851 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Couldn't have said it any better! Duke zero hour is an amazing game to hit the n64! has a great story line and is fun as hell. I love all the humor Duke brings and think it is A MUST HAVE for the n64!
6620 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It usually takes a year or two for Square to release another Final Fantasy game, but anthology is not just one great FF game, it's two great FF games. Sure they're old and many will be scared off by the 16-bit graphics, but those who stick around will enjoy some quality gaming. This package will last you a while too, as each game will take 40+ hours to complete. This is well worth your time.
From the movies, you only see the end of Empire as they go looking for Han, then the next movies starts with his rescue. Well this game is what happened in between then.
9695 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I would have say this game was a little fun, BUT there are some cons. Frist the game is so easy, I've rented it and got though it in a day. The pros. the graphics are good and so is the gameplay. Please, rent it.
4084 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a good game and my 11 year old son loves to play it. This game can be installed on a PC running Windows XP Home Edition and will run fine but you can get better performance if you use the Windows Compatibility Wizard.
But all in all, if you're at all a fan of Resident Evil style games, this one's for you. A warning that the game was given a Mature rating by the ESRB, and it is deserved. While the game has no swearing (that I can remember), or nudity, the mood is very, very dark and intense.
If you play these games with the obscure Namco Playstation controller called the "NEGcon" You will have the ABSOLUTE BEST controls of the game, outside of maybe the arcade cabinets themselves. (They may also support other racing wheel controllers.)
5975 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 It IS point and click! Yeah, the greatest RPG of all time! It certainly makes you gain weight faster than any other RPG. All my friends have been fattened and dumbed by this marvel in brainwashing. They are all now one with the chair that they sit in. Greatest RPG? Not even close. Those who say it is are probably physically dependant upon it by now. I observe people play with their eyes two inches from the monitor and their mouths slack with saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths. The only thing that moves is the hand, making quick, convulsive movements. I say that even if it does expand your brain (Ha, ha), the other negative effects far outweigh the good.
2813 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Others have commented on the richness of the sound score, the sumptuousness of the graphics, and the immersion the puzzles provide for you. All true. But I find people's devotion to Riven and its predecessor a bit overblown.
Man, did this bring back old memories. Doom 64 is a then updated version of the classic series. The demons looked better and still had the eeriness the series has always had. This game is also very challenging, I find my self dying every now and then. Luckily I have a N64 memory card that I can load so I don't have to start over without all of the weapons I have picked up along the way.
3020 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pros
Boo (unlockable): Race the ghost
-An odd, out-of-this world island with a gigantic tunnel.
As for the CONS I'd have to say: The population limit. The limited audio. The initial difficulty of moving through the Ages.
Once they had me hooked into the concept of mindless repetitive character rolling to find the one with the perfect strength characteristics I was looking for (I was much more picky when I was younger than I am now), it was the beginning of the end, at least for me. Soon I progressed to more puissant and addictive games, such as Baldur's Gate Expansion: Tales of the Sword Coast,Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn,Baldur's Gate 2 Expansion: Throne of Bhaal, and then Icewind Dale.
Even though I knew it came with no controllers, I still was a little disappointed, but hey, I got one arriving in a few days anyway, so no problem.
The game needs to be played bye someone who can devote time to play it also, as it gets very frustrating at certain times. I found my self beating the controller on the floor at times do to having to try over and over and over again to beat a level that is extremely intimadating.
5818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i don't think they had McDonalds in egypt but this game STILL RULES!!!!!!!! YEAH!
Capcom Vs. Snk 1 (And Japanese Import version of 2)!
If you love racing games, and especially if you love Wipeout, you'll HAVE to buy this game.
8016 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game works great my whole family is having fun playing this game all day and night. Definitely happy with the buy.
The Cave of the Lakitus
7836 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This should be a collector's item, because not only did they recreate Sim City for Super Nintendo, but they added some nice features to make it Nintendo's own game (like statues of Mario and Bowser as Godzilla). You are the newly elected mayor of a plot of dirt, which you must turn into a massive city with 1,000,000 "sims" (people). As the mayor, you must face issues like riots, traffic, polution, crime, and natural disasters like tornados, fires, floods and even Bowser coming to destroy your city!!! This is a pretty basic game, you make roads, make zones which grow to buildings and connect them all with power lines and a power plant.
1285 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 works as advertised.
All of these events are packed into 6 levels of run 'n gun fun. Yeah, it's possible you can beat this game in 20-30 minutes, but at least you will have fun doing it.
1603 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 it has been so hard for me to find this game...so when i found it up here i fell in love
Everything about this game is outstanding. Beautiful, even. From the development of each character to the unique and exciting areas you will travel to, this game will have you loving every single second of every minute you spend playing it. You'll travel the world, going to real-life locations like the Great Wall of China, the Ankor Wat, and even the Great Pyramids, in search of the Mystic Statues and any trace of your father. It's as if every single pixel used for the graphics of this game were given an untold amount of detail, and it shows tremendously well. The game isn't ridiculously difficult in any way, but it gradually gets more difficult as you get closer towards the end, just like any good game should do. It also retains the world map system that Soul Blazer did, being that all destinations can be selected by simply choosing them on the world map itself. Everywhere you go, there's always something new to discover or something left to do, even if it feels like nothing at all. The adventure itself just seems endless, in every kind of good way imaginable.
The graphics really show what the Nintendo 64 is capable of putting out along with other classics like Mario 64 and Golden Eye. The graphics are amazing and are top notch.
After playing the StarCraft 2 beta, I can assure that Starcraft 1
1140 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I first started playing Ocarina of Time from a good friend of mine. The graphics are really cool and it shows realistic images of stories. I don't see why anybody would give this game only 1 star. I sure enjoyed the good pictures of this game. Next time I'm in a video game store. I am going to buy this game. First of all, the adventure begins when this little boy is at home sleeping. A fairy comes to him and wakes him up. Then you have to find this sword and find the Great Deku Tree. I never get tired of this game because you travel to different places accomplishing many tasks! There are many items you can use too!
5786 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have been a PlayStation Final Fantasy. I have never played the original Final Fantasy's from NES and SNES. This is possibly the best game I have ever played. The story was great, and the graphics are by far the best on PlayStation. The music was amazing too, and rivals many professional bands. Zell was by far my favorite character, he was so cool. The CG animations were the best part of the game, though, which had great pieces of the love story thrown in there. It's amazing that a game could be so great. It was like watching a movie that I desperately wanted to finish. The GFs were the best from any Final Fantasy, and have been brought into FF9 and FFX. The only bad part was how easy the bosses in the final tower were. I had cactuar, and equipped Zell with Kamikaze, and I just used that on every boss. I killed everyone but the final boss with it one hit. The hardest monsters were in the forest where you get Ifrit, and these were the Tyrannosaurus Rex type things. A great game with many different plotlines, and an overall great game.
Planescape: Torment represents a fantastic creative achievement, with a strange and twisted land that has been painstakingly fleshed-out for gamers to explore. The game world features an astonishing number of areas to explore. It is also very flexible -- there are many ways to accomplish tasks, from using force to smooth talking to magic means. You can choose to be evil, cruel, or callous. Perhaps you'd rather be benevolent, helpful, even generous. Unlike most role-playing games, you don't have a fixed class and you do not choose your own alignment. Your actions determine your alignment over time, and you can change your class at will. The result is a very rare game that gives gamers a real opportunity to role play, one where characters react to you based on what you've done in the past. And the story itself is absolutely compelling and fascinating, a story so complicated that one playing will not be enough to reveal all its subtleties.
7877 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 loads of fun playing this game again! brings back good memory's with old friends staying up til 5 in the morning playing video games until we beat them. The 2nd game Seeds Of Evil is just as fun and if you liked this one then you should own Turok 2: seeds of evil! hope everyone enjoyed the game as I have! wish they made games like this ya know like having 10 weapons in your arsenal, amazing and memorable sound effects, the best deaths I've seen in gaming! I mean it i mean kill people in gears of war is awesome but why awesome when you can be the best! take your time to look at the way they die in both games and I'm sure you'll see why!
517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I received tomb raider in excellent shape.
Look at MK objectively: bad controls, less characters than Street Fighter, less moves, a limited number of environments with no background animation (though the Pit idea was rather cool). The first installment was truly one that sold based on the strength of its gore, and on the SNES we're deprived of that as well.
5679 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great final fantasy game and a piece of gaming history must have for all fans and collectors

1033 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best racing game i've ever played and the most funest. The game has a cool unique to a racing game. it is tons of fun, and you can play either Mario, Luigi, Peach (The Princess), Toad, Yoshi, Bowser(King Koopa) & Donkey Kong. There are three types of trophies you can recieve, either the Mushroom trophy, Flower Trophy, Star Trophy and A Special Trophy. Cool Hu. Well this game was tons of fun i recomend it to everyone. Peace Out
Black=First and Best PS2 Twisted Metal Arguably the best Twisted Metal of All
The AI isn't really that smart, point in fact, the game makes Snakes inability to sneak more or less what makes the AI appear so intelligent.
3881 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you have any interest in video golf whatsoever, you need to get this game. Nintendo has succeeded in making a golf game that is fun and challenging for young and grown-up people alike.
8761 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I remember when this game came out I played it at a friends house and loved it,finally a platform game that surpassed Mario. This game is very easy to pick up and play and very enjoyable to say the least. I have beat the game several times and its still a fun game to play. A classic game that combines graphics(especially for its time)and stellar gameplay and fun. If you haven't played this game your missing out on a classic and also check out Sonic CD for Sega CD only and the sequel Sonic The Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis.
The best part of Shadowrun is the ambience. Some equipment is illegal and you can get into a run-in with the law. Most characters are complete with portraits. The game keeps tabs on you: shoot a passer-by and you have a higher chance of being questioned by the police (although you can delete your police record- not for free, of course!). You may gain certain useful contacts over the course of your investigation. The music fits exceptionally well. The menus glow green, like low-quality computer screens. The denizens even have a jargon of their own.
2)The games and the graphics for them pretty much hold there own against the PS2. Awesome sports lineup and online play! Being realistic of course, eventually the PS2 may surpass the DC due to the advanced harware on the PS2, its now up to the game makers to utilize the full potential of the PS2, which is probably around a year away. The PS2 still needs to mature before you see its true power.
Imagine the theme of Casablanca with some mexican folklore and Mayan art thrown in for fun. Add big orange demons, hot rods, killer beavers, cat races, and the grim reaper and you have Grim Fandango.
The game may be short, as it has 5 stages (And for some reason, it has a stage select, meaning you can just go to Stage 5 to beat the game), and it may have the Turtles put on an awkward smile throughout the game, but all in all, Fall of the Foot Clan is an epic classic!
I won't talk about the new monsters, you'll just have to find out on your own! But I will say that some are quite easy to take down, while others will take quite a bit of work!
5352 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I thought the Clock Tower games looked interesting, but I was sorely disappointed. The controls (point-and-click) are out-of-date and sometimes do not make sense, the voice acting is AWFUL, the movements are SLOW, the graphics are mediocre, the storyline (as much as I could handle) was corny... There are many endings to the game, but who can sit through it?
7804 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This Is one of the fewest racing games a really like, it's cool you go through levels and even have a boss to beat. it's cool. It's a game i think everyone will enjoy.
Beware though, like all Harvest Moon games, this is addicting. It's a farming life sim.
Cons
It really made me sad to see the Dreamcast fail, and I wish it hadn't.
I did freeze up once though. I hope it was just a glitch and not an indication of a greater issue with this carriage.
Throughout the game, you race through 2D levels with plenty of platforms you jump on and pits and other obstacles you have to avoid by usually jumping over. You also have malicious robots known as "Badniks" throughout the levels where you can either avoid them or you can attack them by jumping on them to set the animals inside the machines free. Some of the most annoying Badniks in the game are Catterkiller in the Marble and Scrap Brain Zones, Roller in the Spring Yard Zone, Orbinaut in the Labyrinth and Starlight Zones, and Ball Hog in the Scrap Brain Zone.
8966 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Remember Streets of Rage? If liked that one, you will most certainly love this one. It follows the same theme as the first one, but with some updates. First of the game play is much better! You no longer have the police car helping you with his rocket launcher, but you do have some more killer moves which help a lot in tight situations. The music is VERY good. I can't ever seem to forget the theme song from the amusement park! Graphics are way improved, plus you get to see how much "life" your enemies have left (in other words they have their own energy meters.) PLUS you have extra characters (other then Adam) like Skate and Max. So..go ahead and get this game. You won't regret it!
You see, Suikoden II is missing a few things. The things that Suikoden II is missing unfortunately
The basis of the game is that you play as a character class; Wizard, Archer, Warrior, or (The guy with the axe) I forgot the class name sorry.
Cons:
Graphics - Top notch, and as good as FF IX. Many have re-watchability.
7276 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is what I love about racing games. This right here. Classic, hardcore, fast-paced action. No item throwing, no parachutes, no BS. Just awesome, old fashioned racing. AND IT'S HARD. The CPU are tough to beat. This will stand the test of time I assure you.
Finally Fantasy VIII is a story within a story. At the same time Squall is going on this journey of self discovery, he and his army is at war with a Sorceress that plans to wipe out the human race. Simple right? Wrong. There are so many insane twists in this game it's bound to drive you nuts. Just when you think you got it, you realize you don't. But one thing for sure is that IT IS a good vs. evil EPIC and you will love the many places you visit and the people you meet on your journeys across land, space and time.
2852 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Duke Nukem 64 isn't a bad game. In fact, it could be one of the best on N64. I don't know. I haven't played much shooters on N64. But, I do own this and chaotic DM with 2 freinds and a bot couldn't get better. Quake 64 and Doom 64 can't offer this much fun. THis is essentially a port of the pc game, but with new levels and add-ons to existing levels. I recomend this game.
While soul caibur has tons of depth, it would have not have reached a perfect score had it not taken it to the next level, and by that I mean modes. That is the mistake that Virtua Fighter 3tb made. Namco saw fit to make Soul Calibur on the dreamcast the most ambitious 3D fighter to date, and they succeeded. They did a wonderful job of adding a fully featured versus mode, team battle, survival, and extra survival (one hit kill), modes, but they all pale in comparison to mission mode.
4850 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good game and has a bigger playing field than the first battle tanx game. Great to play with friends and family.
I have never came across a game that was this outstanding difficult in the 13 years I played various N64 games.
Anyone who says this game has no depth simply doesn't have a clue about its system. Each character has three different fighting styles, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Some moves and super moves are only available in certain fighting styles. Some fighting styles are better for attacking, and others are better defense, counters, and reversals.
This game was the reason why I play video games because I trying to find gems out there like this one, but it's hard to find a diamond among coal sometimes I guess.
6693 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario Land is a classic Mario game and one of the first games for the then-new Game Boy. It features the great gameplay that hailed from Super Mario Bros, although few physics are a little bit off. The graphics and sounds were greatly-developed, especially the music.
50 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I'm a huge Zelda fan and I'm so happy to add this to my collection ^.^
- The Genesis version has worse graphics. This should be obvious though because the Super NES always wins in this category. Here the graphics are darker, smaller and less polished.
7861 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The only Zelda I prefer to this one is the Ocarina of Time...and that's a VERY high video game standard. It's unique to the other Zelda games in the series, but yet still very true to form somehow.
I also like this version of Delta Force because bullets from your machine gun are capable of destroying vehicles and helicopters. In subsequent versions of the game, you would be required to use a rocket or other explosive, when in real life, a fusillade of rounds can bring down a chopper just as surely as an anti-aircraft missle.
Games legit, go buy it.
-I thought leveling up did get pretty annoying and boring at parts(I was worried that I had to be in a certain level so I can be strong enough for a boss so I'd spend like 50% of the game leveling up)
489 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love Tomb Raider. It is definitely my favorite game of all time. It has everything you need to make a wonderfully fun game. There is action and adventure, thriller, problem solving, and an entertaining story line. I love the challenge of the problem solving. It isn't a game you can finish in a couple hours, but take a long time to get through all of the different puzzles. You definitely get your moneys worth with play time on this game. It will always keep you thinking. I couldn't ask for a better game.
Mario's was just an arcade game. It was hard, but it didn't take to long to master it, and I don't even know if there was a boss. Sonic's debut was better then Mario's. A game you could play without spending money, good levels, challenging, better bosses, and a special ending you could view if you collected all the items necessary. But, these debuts lacked what Crash's had. Most challenging, best bosses, better secret ending, and most of all, a 3-D world to play in.
The most memorable stage is, if memory serves, the end of stage 3 where first you have to climb a blue building that uniquely shakes back and forth avoiding medusa heads, and a couple screens after this the atmosphere kicks in even stronger where you have to travel up a really big staircase outside avoiding demon bird creatures. This is the best moment in the history of Castlevania! I felt scared to continue forward! Even the music kept me excited here. Did I forget to mention how detailed and animated the bosses are? They're also HUGE! How could I forget! Lots of variety, and guess what? This game seems to specialize in boss fights above everything else not just in fantastic detail but the amount of them you'll face throughout the game. The levels themselves are almost an afterthought in comparison. Besides Dracula, Death and the really tall Frankenstein, there's also several other cool looking bosses. The one made of gears is the most creative. Expect several boss fights along the way.
2461 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had recently bought this game a month back and I enjoyed it on my N64.
7052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game was my favourite when I used to have an N64. Infact, I think it still is my alltime favourite game, nothing else has managed to beat it. I miss this game alot, and it infact may be worth buying another n64 just for this game alone.
Anyway, Suikoden is a fun and enjoyable RPG that can be bought for a very [good] price. It should take you at least a few months to find all the 108 characters without using a walkthrough. Pick it up and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
-Beautiful 2D graphics.
1735 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had this game when I was a kid and it was a blast! Still is!
That aside....if you develop your skills you'll still win.
9697 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Although I miss traveling and battling I really did enjoye this game. Plus I like how this game was geared more for adults and teens who don't like Pokemon insteed of for kids who like Pokemon (Who might get bored of this game very easiely). Plus it's good, clean (No violence), and very fun and challenging! I highly recomend this game to everyone who don't like Pokemon and aren't under 13!
And the Ugly:
Overall, some very nice tunes scattered through out the game. It's not mind blowing like some of the Square soundtracks, but it's a good one. You will enjoy it for the most part, I know I did.
(I have not played FFVI enough to make a judgement on it.)
overall, its an ok title, but to me its just more annoying than fun, i'm already level 21 and majority of the boss fights are becoming easy, but i'm nearly done with the game, so i have to beat it now. its a game that just wastes you time, all games are, but this one and simon's quest just literally wastes your time like no other. the portable games of Castlevania follow this formula now, which is disappointing. just try this game out for 5 minutes then you'll see what i'm taking about. its also an XBLA title so you can find it pretty easy or pay for a PS1 title.
This game reeks with coolness. But me and most other gamers/people want to know how this game managed to get a "Teen" rating. It is just as gory and profained as GTA
1. The graphics aren't very good and plus most of the levels look alike.
9410 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Life Force, Gradius, Gradius 3, like those? You'll love this.
8992 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love this game. It's simple and easy to play. There aren't multiple dimensions, or options, so it keeps things nice and easy. The directional references are easy to follow, but not red light obvious. I liked the battles, nicely patterned but not boring. The story line is just lie every other story line, group develops, each has issues to overcome so they can save the world from what man has done to it. They face a monster/alien enemy. There are plenty of dimensional shifts, and an android thrown in for fun. Overall, this isn't the worlds hardest RPG, but it's fun, and that's what gaming's all about.
5894 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the best RPGs ever made, for any system. It's junction system takes some getting used to, but before long, it is much easier than Materia from FF7. The graphics are great, the characters are well developed, and most importantly, the story is great. Basically, you are a student of magic and must become the leader you never wanted to be. Along the way, you'll meet a former teacher of magic, an overconfident jerk, along with his "posse", a comic bookish hot- headed hero, a rowdy, energetic girl, a responsible school headmaster, a girl- crazy sharpshooter, a friendly former soldier, a big, quiet caring man, and a clumsy future world leader. You start out being a cold, mean, anti- social person, but eventually become a caring, romantic, truthful guy, with the help of your girlfriend.
3285 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Resident Evil: Code Veronica on the Dreamcast has the same mutant/zombie killing and gore everyone would expect from a Resident Evil game. The graphics are considerably better in this latest installment of the series, and there are plently of new monsters to exterminate. As for the weapons, there isn't much new here...but at least it's kept relatively realistic with shotguns, pistols, and sub-machine guns, ect. The story is involved and although at some points predictable, it's executed well from start to finish. Unfortunately, as in the other Resident Evil games, there is a lot of back tracking that must be done to complete the game...and having limited item space makes it all the more time consuming. If you've played the previous Resident Evil games, you know what to expect. There's also plently of fun secrets to unlock (like Battle Mode), and they add a considerable amount of replay value. Resident Evil: Code Veronica is yet another great reason to own a Dreamcast.
4 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 i liked a lot some time that i haven't play a wonderfull game very simply and funny game verry good game.
Tedious and repetitive gameplay
2122 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 During one of my many ventures to my local game store a year and a half ago, I came across a game called "Syphon Filter". Intrigued, I went ahead and bought it, popped it in my Psone, and to this day, it is one of the best games I have ever played. I have beat the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and am on my second "pass" through the series. I will then give the "Omega Strain" a go on my PS2 once I am finished with SF3. While I have read no so favorable reviews on OS, I think it would be fair to at least give it a try.
5028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great, perfect art, no time for action but time to run. great story and everything. id recomend this game being played 3rd of the series for more of a prologe feeling
4110 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is a great game and remake of the original "Theme Park" made in the early 90's (?). It is so addicting and time consuming so make sure you've got plenty of time to waste before you sit down to play. (...) It's definitely a great game, although the graphics aren't quite up to snuff with today's technology, but you get over that. It definitely has challenges, too, so don't think you can just breeze through the scenarios. A definite buy for your family gamer.
1124 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow... What can I say. As I'm writing this review, the popular consoles right now are ps2, gamecube, and xbox. I have all of those. Yet no game on any of those systems are better than this. This is probably the best zelda ever(I have yet to buy the one for gamecube). Deciding between this and Majora's mask is a tough call, but I think this one gives a little more gametime.
5706 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I lost this game a long time ago and thanks to Amazon, I now have it again. I love this game!!
3. PS2: With the upcoming arrival of the Playstaion 2, gamers were saving their $$$ for a PS2 instead of "wasting it" on a Dreamcast.
1216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is just as much fun as the first one, with whole new levels based on the now classic Crash Bandicoot gameplay, I would recommend this to anyone, Crash fan or not.
8482 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Though not one of the longer strategy -RPG's out there (that honor would have to go to Disgaea, or the epitome of all strategy RPG's Final Fantasy Tactics), Vandal Hearts is one of the most overlooked games on the Sony Playstation. Starting out the game you are put in the role of Ash who along with his friends Diego and Clint fight off a group of bandits who are attacking them. This sets the games gameplay in place, with blood flying and a soundtrack that only the fine folks at konami could produce, one that still echoes in my head to this day. Although the graphics are quite dated by todays standards the gameplay elements of this game are where it truly shines. After leveling up at level 10 or level 20 you are given the option to upgrade your character, thus allowing you access to new moves and enhanced abilities. For example archers can continue along the bowman path, or can get rid of their bows in exchange for the ability to fly which becomes irreplaceable later on in the game. Someone elses review said that this game had little replay value, but I would have to disagree, having beaten this game on at least 4 different occasions. Clocking in at somewhere around 16-22 hours it is not a long game, but there are somewhere around 6 or 7 seven secret levels, which are really tough and require precise skills, but if accomplished correctly open up not only a slightly secret ending, but also the class of Vandalier for Ash, opening up every skill in the game for the main character, and making him basically a God among the other soldiers. The realtionship between Ash and Elena develops throughout the game very well and the ties of friendship are established between other members of your party, just like any great RPG. Konami was on one hell of a roll back in the day, releasing this game, Suikoden, Metal Gear Solid, and Castlevania: SOTN within a year or two of each other, signifying them as one of the premiere publishers during the original Playstations golden Age, and producing all of these A class titles. Definitely do not miss out on the chance to own this game, especially if you grew up with games like Shining Force. Not to be passed up.

Descent 3 requires a 200MHz Pentium processor with a 4MB 3D accelerator card that supports Direct3D, Glide, or OpenGL. I recommend a Pentium II or III class machine to get the most enjoyment out the game. Certain details can be turned off to get an acceptible framerate on lower-end machines but it detracts from the overall experience.
Value: 9.5
Roadsters
Pros- great plot, 3 different endings (depending on the character's humanity level),beautiful music and voiceover with different accents.
You take control of Jean-Luc, a member of a SWAT-like military group out to stop a terrorist organization from using a powerful satellite to destroy the world. From there the story plays out similar to that of Metal Gear Solid except it's not as complicated (complete with a twist at the end.) You have access to a limited group of weapons that includes a pistol, shotgun and assault rifle. Later on, you'll be able to pick up a silencer, rocket launcher and ammunition packs to increase the ammo you can carry. You go from point A to point B in every stage shooting soldiers, hitting switches, destroying laser beam sensors and acquiring keys for unlocking doors. Every so often, you'll face off against bosses which requires you to figure out the best way to beat them. To save your progress, you'll need to use a memory pack as this is a pretty long game. Beat the game on all difficulty levels and you unlock extra modes, characters for the multi-player section and game modifiers. If you have some friends, you can try out the multi-player mode with them for up to 4 players.
The music and sound effects in this game are decent. Nothing will blow your mind away but nothing will annoy you to death. Some tunes even become catchy, like the Apple Market tune.
758 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love Zelda
4939 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I saw this game, rented it from the store, and brought it home. It took me an hour to beat the game 100%, and the graphics were awful. They were pointed all over, and looked worse than Lara Croft from Tomb Raider I. I would not reccomend buying this game enless you're a first time gamer or under 8 years old. Rent, don't buy if you're older.

And...if this is your first time with a strategy game a strongly advise you to play the tutorial which (gasp) comes along with the game as well. Keep in mind though that each civilization has it's own pros and cons and each civ. comes with its own unique military unit.
6456 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 For my money, this is the finest strategy game on the market. The balance of the various kingdoms is far better than in the original, with all empires having serious strengths and equally devastating weaknesses. One must learn the value of combining force types into effective mixtures of defense and offensive units to even have a chance at success. The serious player will probably take something on the order of a year to master the game, because the complexity level is so high.
And the gun's, there's more than I can count, a handgun you
Not only is character generation open ended, but the game world is as well. You can travel all over Seattle and the outskirts without being stuck in some linear path. It's funny how people go nuts about Grand Theft Auto and how you can go anywhere and do anything. Well this was doing that long before. As you explore the world around you meet various different characters. Some will just talk to you or sell you stuff. Others will hire you for shadowruns. There are also other shadowrunners out there for you to meet and even hire to help you with your missions.
The camera has a tendency to swirl around when you need it to stay still, and to sit still when you need it to move. The grainy, pixelated graphics and complete lack of distinguishing features in the levels make it not only very easy to get lost, but also very hard on the eyes. When you need to jump across platforms or walk AROUND something, that's when things really get bad. Flik leaves almost no shadow on the ground when he jumps, so your jumps will usually be blind leaps of faith. The other problem is his feet. He dangles his feet so low when he jumps, that 9 times out of 10 you will miss a platform because his feet won't plant on it. And, when he does land, he won't stop running, which will send him promptly stepping right off the other end of the thing and forcing you to do the jump all over again.
8682 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 F-Zero is known for showing off the Super Nintendo's extremely graphically impressive Mode 7 technology, which was beating off the Genesis's so-called Blast Processing.
8647 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Falling block games reached the pinnacle of their evolution fairly quickly as Dr. Robotnik's MBM from 1993 is easily the most complex and fun example of the genre that began with Tetris, a primitive Russian strategy game from 1984 that has since become iconic. MBM is hardly an iconic game, but it is very cute if punishingly difficult.

8360 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A few years ago PCGAMER made a list of the greatest PC games of all time and suprise, suprise guess what game topped the list? X-Com UFO Defense, and it well deserved it.
HAPPY GAMING!
8983 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 A couple of years ago I picked up a copy of Wild Arms 2 and I really enjoyed the game (despite hearing that it is the black sheep of the 3 Wild Arms games). I enjoyed the game so much that I was willing to track down a copy of the first Wild Arms game and give this one a shot, too. Once again, I wasn't disappointed. This was one of the first RPGs on the Playstation (one) and predates Final Fantasy VII. Right then, you should understand that the quality of graphics is naturally going to be much weaker, but this is an RPG and graphics really should not matter. What matters is that the game is fun to play, even years later. In many ways, this game is more similar to the SNES RPGs that preceeded the Playstation rather than the games that followed, but once again, this game was a lot of fun to play.
5745 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you liked final fantasy 3, you'll like this game. You'll play some, then learn some more of the story.
5700 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I was that 16 year old kid who loathed Final Fantasy VIII (when it was originally released) for every reason that made it unlike Final Fantasy VII. I still prefer VII in nearly every regard, but recently I purchased VIII to play on my PS3 and PSP. I've finally gotten around to playing it thanks to this wonderful recession (read: I'm now unemployed) and have put nearly 70 hours into the game in a week and a half.
8194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I had played every Mega Man game up until X4 came out, and I can safetly say this is the best one ever. X5-X8 just had pictures with words which I thought was totally lame. With X4 they had complete cartoon anime scenes with full dialogue and how awesome was that? The game play was fantastic, the graphics were fantastic, you could play as Zero all the way through the game, Mega and Zero had their own story elements. Awesome game. One of the best ever.
8298 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 one of the best opening games of all time a side from the difficulty being a little easy this game is flawless this game may have the best video game music ever great visuals perfcet control i highly recomend this game
8440 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars is not a very well known game, why is this? because it was released in the year 1996 at the very end of the SNES life cycle. So many people were grabbing Nintendo 64's and this amazing game was completely overlooked. However it still sold about a million copies and will go down in history as one of the greatest Mario titles ever. I'm sure you noticed I said "Squaresoft" in my title, thats because back in 1996 "Square-Enix" was formally known as "Squaresoft". I consider this one of their best games ever created.
Final Fantasy VIII also utilizes the ATB battle system which has been in place since Final Fantasy IV. The eighth installment in particular tries to differentiate itself from the rest of the series and succeeds. Very well. First there's Final Fantasy VIII's junction system. Rather than having the convential level up system, this game opts instead to have the enemies raise levels with you. It seems like this will make the game harder, but the junction system serves as a balance. First, there's drawing spells. In battle, characters can draw spells from the enemy. It's a tedious task and often gets boring, but you can use any spell you have to increase your statistics. But there's more than that. You can't junction spells to your stats unless you junction Guardian Forces (Final Fantasy VIII's summons) to a character.
Tomb Raider 3 features a challenge that is mostly only challenging because of the above-mentioned jumping problem. She simply doesn't jump the way you want her to. You'd THINK the game company would've dealt with this problem with all the new moves for Lara they added to the game, but no, none of these new moves make the game any easier. The artifact-finding storyline had potential but unfortunately the frustrating challenge ruined it.
752 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Playing this game again after so many years really makes me realize why it is truly one of the greatest games ever.. Must play!
9348 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Although the name of this game might be a turn off at first (Max Payne? How original!), you should never judge a book by it's cover. At a glance it may seem like just another clone shoot-em-up game, but in reality the game is quite innovative and just about the most fun you'll ever have with a shooting game.
Overall, you will like this game. As you can see, battling is top notch, even though it can get frequent, if you buy items to ward off monsters, you shouldn't have a problem.
The story is simple. You are the son of a great general in the emperor's army, when he soon leaves to go to battle; you get a job working for the emperor. Soon later, you stumble onto a secret, your father has been serving the wrong side, and now you must lead an army to defeat the evil emperor.
it is scary.....sad.....and just the best ever.
720 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've looked all over for GoldenEye for my old school N64 but never could find it. Then I found it on Amazon, this is a nice change from the all digital world of FPS games. The graphics are not bad, but if you plan on playing this on your HDTV I would recommend getting a converter that takes the VGA ( Yellow, White & Red ) cables an converts the VGA signal to HDMI so you can play on your High Definition TV. Played this on christmas with the relatives an they were having a blast. Didn't think they would considering it's N64 an not Xbox ONE.
There are two features about this game that I really like. The first is what I'd like to call maim-ability. If you shoot someone in the leg, they'll hold onto their leg, same with the arm, the head, and even the groin. Before this game, the most you could hope for was that characters would bleed when they were shot and fall down when they'd die.
4064 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I have never played such an addicting game! The scenarios are different and fun, but the variety lacks. You get the same rides to choose from over and over again, and when you create your own roller coaster, your park guests become wimps and ignore it. The handymen are a pain to control since they never do their job and if you tell them to mow grass, it's all they do. Excellent for a game that came out before the year 2000.
This game is great from the look and the level of detail and the combat. Thanks
Story (10/10): Wow. That's all I can say. FF7 has an amazing intricate network of subplots and character histories on top of the main story. I love the complexity of it. However, the one drawback to this complex story is that it requires multiple playthroughs and some thought before you catch everything. To me though, this makes the game better, not worse. Also, the pacing of the story is excellent. I never felt bored or compelled to continue "just to reach the end".
The buttons are terrible. They 'mush' down. They are not springy as they should be.
The negative.
9040 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 my son loved how fast his order was taken care of he placed his order and it came in way befor the time it said it may take the game was in very good shape and it said it would be and package with great care to get it to him he was very happy with his order ! THANKS
NOW! The reason that this game suck's is because EVERYTHING in the game looks like fake plastic, the special effects are NOT shocking at all, you can't make ANY massive explosion or massive destruction, many characters look lame, if your car turns upside down you have to wait for 5 seconds for your car to stand up, and many stages are VERY small.
- I hate the sound your ammo gun makes. It sounds more like fire crackers. It sounds like a more dangerous and intimidating weapon in the Super NES version.
9071 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Many of the Sega Genesis games, especially in the later years rellied heavily on the 6 button control bad. If you want to play a fighting game, of course, you'll need one of these. But either way--it ain't the same with out 6 buttons. You get used to the controller. Better just buy one just in case you need it!
It is a real mixed bag.
At any rate, despite what you read or hear about the game, it's the best Doom game out of them all, in my opinion. Even more so than the original itself. True, it's your standard Doom experience. But, once you play it, you'll see why I consider it the best game out of them. The production values were high on this one.
Twisted Metal 3: In this installment twisted goes for a much more realistic driving feel for the cars. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing but to most fans it just wasn't as fun. This was 989 studios first attempt to make a twisted metal game and fans trying out twisted metal for the first time tend to be the only fans that like 3 the best. However a few of the early twisted metal fans like 3 better but the game play turned off a large percentage of fans so this one is hit or miss try it you might like it best or you might not like it at all. In the end 989 failure to appeal to a large amount of the fans of the franchise put twisted metals popularity into a downward spiral.
Speedy platforming makes this one of the fastest games for the Sega Genesis. The momentum based physics, obstacles, and enemies makes this the perfect game for people who want to challenge their reflexes. This game tests your reflexes by giving you only split-seconds to react to the obstacles you are thrown at while going at top speed. I recommend this to anybody with a Sega Genesis--or at least for people who want to go through an enormous amount of speedy platforming.
The graphics of the first Resident Evil really haven't aged well. Humans and zombies alike wander around stiffly and unrealistically, each one looking almost identical to the others. Polygon models are simple and blocky. Textures are pixelated and undetailed, looking more like a game assembled on the Super Nintendo's SuperFX chip than a PlayStation title. The series' characteristic pre-rendered backgrounds are poorly compressed and difficult to navigate in places, forcing players to turn out all the lights and squint their eyes just to make their way through the room. Merging still images with live polygons, Resident Evil plays like a strange amalgamation of the PC classics "Myst" and "Alone in the Dark."
570 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I like it.
Twisted Metal 2: Most fans will consider this to be the best twisted metal of all the final release with single track after this one the game changes its physics dramatically...
excellent collectors edition item
2028 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 A very fun game.
B) Weapons and armors stay the same, when a red or blue sand is used your weapons and armor grow more powerful, so technically you can easily dominate the first few levels without you monsters assistance.
Am I stretching the truth? No.
Sky Odyssey for PS2 is a much more fun and active flying game than this, but this is by no means chopped liver. The graphics are often impressive, and the game does put up a fight in the later stages. But as long as you aren't dumb enough to expect a NASA flight replicator, you might very well enjoy this little romp through the un-friendly skies. Who knew terrorists would have the $$$ to own more jet fighters than most industrialized nations?
Too bad thet there were not enough "beat em ups" for the Dreamcast because these are my favourite type of games. Dynamite Cop is apprecieated and is worth it if you like these kind of action games.
8957 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 No issues
3621 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I play games, simply put. If I want to play Gran Turismo2, Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy 7, 8, or 9, I need a PSX. If I want to play Phantasy Star4, I need a Sega Genesis. But in this case, with the Dreamcast consoles' production be halted and for a rather low price (not necessarily through Amazon), it's quite a deal.
Now the story behind the Unholy War is that these evil Aliens who support Technology 100% land on planet in order to Strip it of all it's natural resources. The natives however fight back. Lead by the Archangel's the natives fight back.
keeps the player going. Overall, I very highly recommend this game to any Mega Man fan, you will not be disappointed!!
- Only one special move for each wrestler. And all are done the same way in a grapple, which means wrestlers like Bret Hart and Stings Sharpshooter are not there finishers!
This game will last for a while
8534 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a great game. It was great to relive my childhood memories with this game. It's in excellent condition! Thanks!
6374 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 While sitting in his trailer in a Florida trailer park, Jack Mower (along with his TV!) is suddenly sucked through a vortex into the quasi-medieval world of Nox. There he finds he's the only person who can rid that world of the evil and malevolent sorceress, Hecubah, and he can't go home until he does. He can choose to follow the path of the warrior, conjurer or wizard, each with its own attributes, skills and challenges. Your character is always male, but if you have something against the name Jack, you can change it, along with other physical attributes.
In short, this is as solid WW2 sim - perfect for those intimidated by the hardcore realism (and hardware requirements) of IL-2, but left hungry by CFS.
I own the PS2 as well, and as of now (02/12/01), there aren't any decent games out for it. The DC has been out for a year. They've got solid games, and for ..., you can't really lose.
1034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is an old racing game but heck,its better then half of them out now. With all the crazy weapons,it can keep you goin awile. This game is really worth it if u have a nintendo 64.
You can also choose certain types of games. A campaign game involves a certain sort of goal (like escorting Joan of Arc to the king). Their is a death match game, where you duke it out with other empires, and so much more. There is a delightful training game which involves the famous William Wallace teaching you the basics of the game, I found this to be extremely helpful.
This game is very, VERY easy to just pick up and play with friends. The controls are simple as all get out and the characters look pretty cool, for a N64 game. The sounds they make are cool too!
5338 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 This game looks like it was made in 5 minutes. It has horrible graphics, and barley any improvments from the first Grand Theft Auto. If you like this type of free-for-all shootem up, pick up the amazing GTA 3, (my all-time favorite) for the PS2.
As you start the game, you only start out with the basics: Running and jumping. But that as you progress through, you get newer powers, such as being able to hang on platforms, THROW your FISTS at enemies (Man, that's cool), and >GASP< being able to fly for a short period of time! Sure, later games have these powers as staples to Rayman's character, but back when this was the only game out, you have to work your way to get these....and you would have fun doing it.
5424 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 as advertised!
I would definitely buy from this seller again because I received an item in excellent condition, in a timely manner and had no issues with the transaction. I'm very appreciative that they had this in their collection!
5640 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You miss, you die. This is basically the premise of Quake 3:Arena. iD software shows once again who's king in the fps deathmatch arena. There is basically no replacement, no contender for Quake 3:Arena which sets a new standard for the deathmatch experience.
~Redeemer-A super-rocket loncher, shoots out 1 mini nuclear bomb!
MK has been known for the copy and paste routine on characters, and MK Trilogy is the crowning achievement of it. The male and female ninjas, and if a guy has a bike helmet and armor pads that they bought down over at Wal-Mart and calling them cyborg ninjas, you know this is a cheap a** game. What the hell was this game made off of, a 50$ budget? I guess Wal-Mart was selling helmets and bike armor pads on a half off sale.
- Variety of ninjitsu moves makes killing stylishly fun.
Zerg=Fast build, between mixes of defense and offense. You must use the swarm to your advantage.
The music is so cute! And there is a lot of different music, so it doesn't get repetitive.
6000 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is Civ II meets D&D. Its horrible. One of my five LEAST favorite games.
The plot is so unbelieveably great, that whoever wrote the plot has to be very, very skilled at writing. Like I said, it's like a movie mixed in with a novel!
9895 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is one sweet game! I honestly think they couldn't have done any better other than for a few problems.
-3D support!
So...yeah. This game is great! Even if it IS hard, you can get through this via trial-and-error. Either way, I bet Super NES players will have a very fun time with this licensed gem.
9460 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 By far my favorite game of all time! I missed out on this game when it came out and discovered it in 2002 when I bought a used SNES and some other essential games that the employees recommended at Game Force in Boulder, CO. I walked away with Yoshi's Island, All-Stars+SMW, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Super Adventure Island, and two controllers for $65!!. Maybe it's nostalgia but all of those games continue to be my favorite games I've ever played. I also got a Sega Genesis with Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, Super Double Dragon and Earthworm Jim for $40!
Gameplay: 9.5/10
3038 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy VII is a good game to play. It is difficult at some points in the game. I started 3 times just to overcome the beginning of the game and to progress to the continuation of the story. The story line is good. I especially like the stealing of items from monsters, to see what all you can get,sometimes a weapon or just healing items. Sofar I,m just at the stage where I left the city, and roaming the world map. I'm trying to get more familiar with it. It will take me a long time to finish this game, since it has 3 discs, maybe I'll never finish it.
4372 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Microsoft has given all other WW2 simulators a challenge. This game has great graphics and gameplay and at times good cinemas, but not the greatest. It's hard to play without a joystick and a good system, if your speed is not a Pentium 2 or higher it could be a little slow. It's still fun though. The missions are fun and fast paced, although it takes a while to get used to and be able to handle the plane. Also in battle it's sometimes hard to get the other planes, but the bombers you'll probably get on your first try but it still takes a while to get the others. There are a number of different aircrafts, but only a couple available in each mission. It is a challenging and fun game, I reccomend it to people who like air combat and flight games.
8538 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Old school is new school again
the controlls are hard at first but once you get the hang of them its a breeze
Great graphics
1074 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game, but Perfect Dark is WAY better. If you really like Bond or you can find this game cheap somewhere you might want to pick it up, but if you're just looking for a good first person shooter or multiplayer game skip it and get Perfect Dark instead.
1614 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 like play game as fun and enjoy. haven't play for long time and final get so like play what I can say that all
On TV TOKYO,pokemon became a Anime in 1997. It became a hit,and was followed by Pocket Monsters Yellow in 1998. Electric Solider Porygon came out in December 12,1997. The bright blue and red lights caused seizures,a symptom when something the human brain cannot take recations. It causes all sorts of sideffects. Many Japanese children got headaches. As well as eye strain,vomiting,bloody noses and bloody mouths. Over 600 children were rushed to the hospital. No one died,but we're hurt. It hit the news in America,and many people criticised pokemon. They thought the Japanese series shouldn't come out in the US. 4Kids still released the pokemon anime in 1998,and still became a hit. However,the episode never came out anywhere outside Japan,even with repaired animations. It wasn't Porygon,but Pikachu. Pikachu used a thunderbolt attack,which hit the missile,and caused the bright lights. It went on for 5 seconds,and caused seizures. Don't watch the episode. It's not safe,for kids anyways. What's this have to do with Red and Green? Well,a story like this with the games were very similar. Lavender Town Syndrome. This is a myth,not true. The myth is about the music from Lavender Town. The myth is is that children who listened to the music got headaches from the load music straining on the Nintendo GameBoy systems speaker. This caused children to kill each other. This isn't true. If this was true,there would have been news reports on it,and pokemon would have been bann. Including Red and Blue. No one died. It might have been annoying to listen to it,but nothing happened. The Japanese music is not the same as the American music. The American version isn't a strong. Anyways,pokemon still was considered violent. But,this has nothing to do with the Syndrome. It has to do with the Cards,Games,and Anime. Watch this one YouTube:Pokemon on the news. Look for pokemon news report 1999. It will talk about it. For one thing,they are all trolls. They all say pokemon wrong. They also say how violent and brutle it was. It's not a message of violence. It's clearly rated E for everyone for every box. Well sure,you go around catching monsters and they beat the crap out of each other,but really,it's not like there killing each other. They aren't. Also,the games are good to improve reading skills. It's bann from every single School across the country. 16 years later and it's still bann. Mostly the Cards. All for violence? Really? No. Not worth it. Well,4 months after the insistent,pokemon was back on in Japan in April of 1998 on TV TOKYO. Then,in September 8th of 1998,pokemon hit the US as a popular Anime.
Street Fighter Alpha 3!
Plus, I love the fact that your main character, Cloud, has a flawed memory (spoiler, I know, but who doesn't know the story of FF7 by now?). Because you see the events of the game through his eyes, you never quite know what actually happened, and what is the product of his confusion. I believe that having a less than 100% reliable narrator makes for a much more interesting story for the player because it keeps you guessing. Loads of RPGs feature narrators/main characters with some sort of amnesia, but this is one of the few games I've seen that that actually puts a large focus on "unreliable narration". Some people have complained that FF7's story is confusing and poorly told, but I strongly disagree. Stories in literature that feature "unreliable narration" (Edgar Allen Poe used this alot; he doesn't catch any flak for it!) are completely legitimate ways of telling a story. In the case of Final Fantasy 7, it serves to let the player know (in a dynamic and creative way) that Cloud is possibly psychologically unstable. If you pay attention to the game (you might need multiple playthroughs to catch it), you can figure out what's really going on. This is in direct contrast to a game that just has a crap story and doesn't make any sense because of poor writing (for an example of this sort of game, see my Grandia III review).
3356 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you loved Resident Evil 1 and 2 you will love Dino Crisis. Bult with the same operating engine as the RE games this classic sci-fi horror survival adventure keeps you excited while dodging raptors and scrounging for ammo.
Multiplayer can be more fun. You basically go through a skirmish against 1 to 3 other players, whether controlled by the computer or a human. The items will apply, and you can turn them on or off by playing 50 multiplayer games and unlocking the item switch. After you end the time limit with more points than all other players / if everyone else is out of lives, you get ranked 1st 2nd 3rd or 4th, and the stats of the game are sent into the game stats bank, which you can look over.
My brothers and I still find ourselves playing this game through start to finish. It loses nothing, remains that perfect tradeoff between challenge and ease that we have dubbed "fun." We know the music by heart, the levels by intuition, which buttons deploy a cape or snake out Yoshi's tongue.
8151 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game fifteen years ago and I love it today. Super Mario World is one of my all-time favorite games. I recently bought this game to play after I became bored with some of the newer games I own. My girlfriend is a big Mario fan, and she and I spend time playing Mario World and unlocking all of its secrets.
Conker's Bad fur day
Every body who has played this game knows that the story line is what makes FFVII live up to its title. You are an ex SOLDIER member and joined a group called AVALANCE to stop Shinra (the bad guys) from using all the energy from the planet. WHY?! Because stealing stuff from the planet is not good, that's why. On your way from destroying a mako reactor (steals energy), you run into a pretty flower girl. That whose name I will not say, it's a secret. One of your beginning characters is Barret who is the leader of Avalanche, and with him is Tifa who runs the bar they all hide at, and she also watches his daughter Marlene. Cloud use to live with Tifa in their town called Nibelheim, surprised to see Cloud she runs up to him and asks him how he has been over the past 5 years since they have seen each other.
Every stage you go through in the game (with the exception of Grant's final level) is packed to the brim with a riddiculous number of soldiers, janitors, raptors, compys, spitters, and even a triceratops or two. How do you deal with these threats? Here's a hint. You run. You run your stubbly little legs as fast as you can. While the whole point of JPRE is to be an action packed game where you shoot every living thing in sight, it's simply much more efficent to just run and jump your way to the exit (with this method, you can finish the game in about twenty minutes).
2582 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is awesome! It's a must have. This game must have the most color in history! It has many levels just like the Original for regular nintendo. Plus it hs a few more opotions. It has a challenge mode which is extremely hard, a Vs mode so you can play your friends, and a "You VS Boo Mode." It's a very good buy. You'll like it!
2059 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Yeah. So the story is very weak. Things are often like that for multiplayer-centered games. At least Mario Party had actually TRIED to spice things up with a story. Where's the story for Super Smash Bros.? Where's the story for Mario Kart 64? I didn't think so. As weak as the Mario Party story is, the story isn't important for a game...the gameplay is. Some games with great stories have fallen flat because of poor gameplay. Other games with NO story succeed with great gameplay. Mario Party is definitely in the latter category. You can hate the Mario Party series for its excellent "Land Before Time" impression. You can be among the groups of people that prefer Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 3. Yet there is one thing that you must admit. Mario Party was DARNED fun back in 1999! Sure, people said to NEVER play with one person, but playing all four characters as one person can be a blast as well.
7194 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 From the mid to late 90's through the early early 2000's, Rare was on FIRE! When teamed with Nintendo, they were a powerhouse developing blockbuster games 1 after another. Donkey Kong 64 is no exception to that. While it's totally different than Rare's original Donkey Kong Country series, this game definitely holds it own. First off, this game is HUGE! It's basically an open world platformer. Very comparable to The Banjo Kazooie games on N64. Lots of exploring, collecting, defeating enemies and bosses to advance the storyline. The graphics are beautiful and actually required the Nintendo 64 to have an upgraded memory pack installed (which was included with the game.) While the music isn't quite as memorable as the DK Country games, it's still very well done and fits the specific environments. I would highly recommend this to anyone who was a fan of Banjo kazooie or Mario 64 type gameplay.
1=push him off.
The story involves your character on his search for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit for Arroyo, your tribal villiage founded by the original vault dweller (ie: the character you played in fallout). He is your ancestor. Along the way you get to interact with many intersting characters: humans, mutants, ghouls...mutated scorpions, weird cult people, and those much hated (by me) Deathclaws. GRRR! This games is about 5 times longer than the unfortunalty short Fallout and you get a car! This speeds up movement on the game map.
7916 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love the game. Many many hours of great play. Fun game. Should have the strategy guide with you as well.
Lasting Appeal- I still play this game regularly when the current generation games anger me. I can play levels in my head, need I say more. This game will never be forgotten or equaled. 5/5
5462 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Love it!
- Since it is a stealth game you have to be very patient to make sure no one can see you before you go for the kill. This can take a long time.
No time limit, so we can take our time enjoying the landscape and out-brutalizing our brutal adversaries.
8496 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Seriously, I played this game in highschool when it first came out. The secrets are legendary, the graphics were state of the art CGI for its time, the characters are classic... so why hasn't this been re-released for the gameboy advance as all the other good super nes games have. Where is it on the virtual console? And most importantly, where is the sequel for the WII or the DS. Come on now- Square and Nintendo settle your differences and produce another game that will be on par with Kingdom Hearts.
However, AOE2's greatest weakness is its lack of a cohesive single-player campaign. Instead of a series of missions linked with a cohesive storyline, you have several separate campaigns, each centering around a different empire. So the missions are more like skirmishes than really cohesive campaigns. Regrettably, Starcraft is still the king when it comes to single-player campaigns.
7750 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game growing up, it's a fun game that is both easy enough for kids to play but the challenge races are difficult enough to entertain adults as well.
Able to glide short-distances
The 2-player levels even have their own versions of the music. The 2-player version of Casino Night has a peppier beat to it, and reminds me a bit of the Last Resort club music featured in Total Recall. I personally think the 2-player version of the Emerald Hill Zone sounds better than the single player version.
Before moving on with the graphics, let's examine what most people consider the games' greatest narrative strength (and why they're incorrect).
2828 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Unfortunately, the greatest hits edition freezes during a certain cutscene and is unplayable. Fun and hilarious game overall, just get the original version.
9549 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I played this game and beat it, I thought the ending was weak, but the gameplay is fun, and the jobs system is extensive. I prefer Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 over this game.
2- slowing down bug: The game has a bug that, whatever your processor speed is, under some circumstances the game really slows down. 1.1 patch reduces much of it, but still happens sometimes.
3273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very strange and gloomy, and very complex 3d environments. The exploration amongst this crazy world is also very complex and intricate as you find cadeau that look like strange red peppers that will give you later use as you insert them into the slots of special consoles of some kind that you later find in such a complex world with the weirdest looking goons that you will come across. This game is alot like Legacy of Kain but more freaky and dark-like as you find evil dark souls hidden within govi objects and giant goons, and hunt down bad serial killers. And if that wasn't enough, there are many areas of the very weird and unique environments that you are not able to pass yet, such as hot burning coals as ground, bloody waterfalls outdoors and in condemned houses(yes you heard me right), deep acid water, rock barriors,etc, but once you find a certain artifact you will gain powers to allow to walk on the hot coals, swim in deep acid water and break rock barriors to go to new areas. This game is just breath taken and one of my favorites along with Shadowman 2econd coming on PS2, I love both of them.
220 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Massive memory , 50 save spots on Final Fantasy 12 .
3027 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was in 7th grade when this came out. I saved up and bought it. I've played through it many times. This game not only brought the console RPG's into the spot light but it also brought A LOT of fun to millions of fans.
Load times for dungeons and encounters are quick on the XP Pentium 4's and though the mouse moves way to fast for overland and combat scroll, the keyboard arrow keys work just fine.
-16 levels just isn't enough to satisfy the average gamer's thirst
Overall, I see this as a fun arcade game for younger kids not up to simulation-level gameplay, and guys/gals who just want to have fun beating each other's players up. Me, if I want to beat up some guy, I'll play Soul Calibur.
4827 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is really pretty cool, and comes from snk, a company not as mainstream as capcom, but the quality of their games is as good(maybe a little less or more)Graphically, the characters are drawn perfectly and look cool. My only gripe here is that some of the moves skip a couple of frames, but seeing as the game is so fast, it really doesnt matter at all.the sound is really cool, and the music is excellent. Controls are nice, but supercombos can be hard to do if your used to 3d fighters or streetfighter. Pick this up if your a fan or if you like good fighting games.
6901 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Great game, plays great, but is used so there is visible wear on the cartridge. Game is hard but fun to play.
9007 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game was the first Donkey Kong game I've played, even now I'm still playing it. It's just too great. No flaws at all!
Not much I can say that hasn't been said better by others in this forum. I'm just going to add that, if you have a PS1 or PS2, you owe it to yourself to experience this game.
The list goes on and on...
Although it sounds like I'm slamming Max, I'm not. The finer points have been listed already so I thought that the weaker qualities should be addressed.
Cheers! ~Jongles

FF5: One of the previously unreleased FF games (at the time anyway) is now in America. I really like choosing classes because it does to raise the replay value through the roof. I literally trained my characters (this is during the between the beginning and the middle of the game) to get to level 30 or 40 (can't remember exactly) just to get my jobs mastered. the storyline is good as well because unlike some of the other FF games, this one sticks with the one you need to get rid of (X-Death) rather than fighting the final battle against someone that you have no clue on what makes that character so evil and why your fighting him/her instead of the one who is destroying the world. the bad thing about this game is the lack of characters (there's only 5 in the entire game, you stick with 4, one of them dies and is replaced with his granddaughter) so be prepared to look at the same 4 characters on the screen and also not having a menu to change characters.
BUY THIS GAME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
7681 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very nice game thats easy to play but does take skill to master
8718 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 O.K ...
4302 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a 3D RTS game and as such will require a lot of getting used to. I am a very spatial person so the interface was very intuitive, but for others, it might take a long time to understand and master or never at all. The story is original and gripping. The music is enchanting and after 8 years I still go back and listen to it. The races that you'll encounter are just incredible. It is like the Odyssey, so I guess you can say it is a Space Odyssey of sorts. There are just so many strategies and tactics you can use with the multitude of units at your selection. The only limitation is your creativity.
6853 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Probably the most known genesis game of all time, as well as possibly being the most known Sonic game of all time, Sonic 2 is well deserving. This was actually the only game I owned for years when I was little, and it kept me busy! I still play it quite alot. My Genesis is still working, but I also have it on Sonic Mega Collection (which is how you'd play this game if your Genesis doesn't work). Sonic 2 is probably the best classic Sonic game (I just wish Tails could fly here), and is pretty much what defined that series in the first place: High speed action and frantic gameplay requireing good reflexes. You can either play as Sonic or Tails, or, you can play as Sonic and have Tails follow you around and mimic your moves, which can come in handy in bosses. Its much more effective, however, if you have a friend control Tails with a second controller. The fustrating thing about that is that the screen still scrolls with Sonic, the player controlling Tails will often get left behind and not reapear for a few moments. It also has a decent 2 player mode. This game is just about right challenge wise and is great for any age. And, in my opinion tottaly beats any classic Mario game hands down! Terrific classic game, an absolute must have if you're a Sonic fan!
198 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
9894 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I'm a fan of the Marvel franchise and like all the heroes. This game is really fun and its a 2 player action packed one. Thanks.

I really like FF6, and I'm definitely not a fan boy of 7, which is probably why I like 8. I don't love it to death or anything, but the limit breaks are fun, the FMVs are beautiful as I said before, and the plot offers a lot of intrigue if you have a little patience.
5300 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I am a ps2 user, but bought this gem back when I had a ps1. The game is exceptionally hard in one player mode as you have two charcters who you have to toggle between. The game is both strategic and action oriented. You can blast the enemy with your machine gunner or use the sniper to pick them off from a distance. The game takes some effort to learn, but is well worth it. One of the nice features on two player is that if your partner dies, the screen becomes full-screen for the remaining player. GREAT GAME FOR ONE OR TWO PLAYERS!
Falcon
Replay? As previously stated, the game has four scenarios not including bounus modes. Each scenario takes around two hours to complete. So, in a FAST play through there is eight hours of gameplay. In a regular session you could expect to take anywhere from six days to half a month finishing the two stories. Basically, there are TWO GAMES with this one game. You can start as Leon and finish as Clare, or Start as Claire and end as Leon. The stories change with both tellings and it is worth playing through both! Moreover, the bousus modes are decent. There are alternate costumes, a time attack mode, a Toffu Time attack mode (Where you play as a giant block of Tuffu), and Arrange Mode (Should you get the Dual Shock version). Arrange mode is basically a mode where they hold your hand for you. They give you a gun with infinite ammunition and let you go.

Blizzard's free online gaming service is fantastic. Simple and easy to use, and it has everything from competitive 1vs1ing as well as team games of sizes anywhere from 2vs2 to 4vs4, massive 8-way free for alls and more! I really enjoy playing this online with my friends.
The game teaches you to manage resources, how to overcome obstacles and how to build a military base in such a way that it is both practical and defensible. Do any of these things incorrectly and your forces will be overrun. You will also need to learn how to deal with tight situations, such as when enemy infantry are suddenly dropped in the back corner of your base where you have few defenses. You have to deal with threats like this quickly before they tear your base apart.

This version will be packed with a Copy of the Japanese Castlevaina: Dracula X (which was never put out in America before) as well as a total remake of Castlevaina: Dracula X (in 3D, but still plays like the 2D version), this PSP version of SotN will feature full screen graphics as well as a touched up localization in terms of all new voice acting.

I didn't come across any of the epic battles I'd read about and was looking forward to. The largest team of men that I led into the fray was three. Moments into it, all three ran into an upturned container to be gunned down one after the next by a gleeful Shocktrooper.

2188 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Beetle Adventure Racing is a fun racing game for all ages. The graphics are amazing for a Nintendo 64. The Championship mode is a little to easy though. But I really love the Beetle Battle mode, especially with four players. It deserves 5 stars by far. It is a game well worth the money. It will keep you entertained for hours played levels, earning cars, and much more.

If you want an example of how a Metroid game, let alone Action/Adventure then this is a great example! Super Metroid is without a doubt one of the greatest games ever made and I have to second the opinion on making it the greatest SNES game of all time!

3843 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 System Shock 2 is most likely the scariest game I have ever played, Half-life being the only close contender. As good as HL is, though, SS2 tops it with more storyline and depth and personality. I'm an RPG fan and I'd consider SS2 more of an action game than an RPG, but the game still allows you to configure your character in ways that deeply affect the gameplay. First time through I played as a psionics guy who wielded hand-to-hand weapons. Late in the game I was able to use an invisibility psi power, run up to enemies, and whack the bejeezus out of them. I didn't have to use guns much, and when I did I just used the cheesy little pistol. Next time I play I'm going to specialize in guns and be a long-distance sniper. The role-playing elements are not that deep, but I still greatly appreciate the opportunity to choose how my character develops. That's why this game is better than Half-life.

1791 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As part of the core Team at SONY Computer Entertainment that worked on the development of the Crash series, and helped propel Naughty Dog into the Video Game Industry as a premier Developer, with these million seller Crash games. I'm proud of what we did, and I STILL enjoy the Crash Bandicoot gameplay and graphics. Buy them up folks. I had to buy these because my little girl gave my copies to her little friends back in the '90s. I hadn't given it much thought until now, and realized that I just had to have my own copies again. Yes, I STILL have PlayStation 1, 2, & 3 consoles and WILL buy the second generation PS-4.
Anyway, good game!

It is kind of sad Nintendo stopped making fantastic games on cartridge like this, and traded it for a CD-ROM gaming factory, with the Gamecube. Nevertheless, Super Mario 64 is still the most superior game of the 20th century, and that is not even a pizza-faced lie.

Donkey Kong Country was a game that revealed the positive side of the barrel-throwing Donkey Kong. It also introduced Donkey Kong's sidekick Diddy Kong. And with the graphic production from Rareware, the stunning graphics blew any other SNES games' graphics away!

7435 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Any true fan of the Legacy of Kain/ Soul Reaver series must place this game at the top of their list in the series, as not only did this entry set the tone and the pace for the rest of the series, but it was a turning point for well done voice acting incorporated with a twisting and turning plot, which leaves you guessing until the very end. First things first though, this game has some of if not the worst loading times of all time in my honest opinion. However, if you can imagine the top down perspective of Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past with the graphics that were full of drab dark colors, creating an almost gothic overtone, you might realize why this game was pushing the Playstation 1 to its proverbial limits. The music is equally as enthraling, with a mixture of orchestral quality dynamics, and haunting sounds that will stay with you long after the game is turned off.

So how well can "Riven: The Sequel To Myst" hold up against "current technology" and the original classic? By simply making the adventure more intresting, more long, and with more "spookiness" -- an original Myst-cliche that adds drama to the game.
I really enjoyed trying to beat my previous score.
2344 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Very happy with order
1193 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Everything ok
But, nonetheless, an amazing game with lots of hidden areas to test your reasoning and gaming skills,- some of which made my head hurt for the first several years I owned my original copy- a fun premise & great for people of all ages. An expert can beat the game in about five hours, but doing so relies on much more than just simple skill, like most modern games. Even though the second & third entries were great (and, honestly, longer), I kind of regretted that they didn't take as much of an advantage of their environments as the first did. I guess, in closing, not as complex, but just as fun.

By the second or third time through the questions were already repeating themselves - awful! Plus multiplayer is just a "fastest-finger" question to determine who plays solo. Big deal!
with that aside i say YAH HOOO this game rocks. you need to rent it or buy it or get someone to play it for you.

-If you want to win, employ a Fin!
When the first King's Quest came out it was at the vanguard of game design. Unlike the text adventure games common at the time (some of which had a few static graphics), here you could see your character moving around an actual environment and interacting with objects. The games themselves are quite simple (basically, they are just treasure hunts where you have to find the right object and take it back to the correct character to trade for another object, etc.) but charming. The interface on these earliest games are parser, as opposed to point and click, meaning (with the exception of movement by cursor keys) you have to type in commands in order to tell the character what to do. This had its disadvantages (at times, you know what to do but not how to say it), but it also had its advantages (there was less room for guessing by just clicking your inventory objects on the hotspot one at a time).
- Large Gothic world to explore
For a platform gamer, this game has a nice blend of 3D motion with 2D side scrolling in a colorful environment that was pretty good visually for the graphics at the time. It definitely took you to a different world. The music for the various levels was appropriate and entertaining. Come on, remember Hog Wild? Good times riding that boar! It had a very linear type of progression but it was not too unlike Super Mario World with the coin shaped levels on the overworld map. The bonus rounds were indeed difficult but you could always replay them, minus the saving bonuses once you saved, and never lose lives in the bonus rounds. Aku aku was there in my time of need, especially when toxic barrels were bouncing my way. He is a different but unique take on the power ring or mushroom, flower, star buffs from the other iconic heroes. I am not saying Crash Bandicoot is better than other platform games before him, but he is unique and has his own style that improved in the titles that came after. I give this game a 9 out of 10 or 4.5 stars.
8843 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So, for any gamer that somehow missed this game, you should play it NOW! A very clever side-scroller that allows you to explore in whatever direction you wish - provided you have the right equipment to get through the area. It is very Zelda like in that respect: Hey, there's a couple of doors that I can't open now, but I'll try to remember to come back when I get more upgrades!" This game has been a huge influence on many games from later generations, and most fans will tell you that Super Metroid is the best title in the series.
8234 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Brings back memories. Loved this game for computer and it was great on SNES also. Gled to have this back in the collection.
Final Fantasy 7, what more can I say... This is one excellent RPG that I would recommend to anyone who is remotely interested in gaming. The overall atmosphere that Final Fantasy 7 brings with it, is incredible. The overall mixture of what it represents, varies from person to person. Some people call this "The greatest game of all time." and I fully agree with this statement... Gaming just doesn't get any better than this.
3256 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game was complete like they said and both discs were resurfaced and work like new. It came quickly and it was nicely packaged it is a must have for classic resident evil fans.
A word about the ending: It's a little dissapointing. -the rising drama towards the climax of the game is exceptional, but the whole thing ends in a 'to be continued' fashion. Rather disheartening after so much fantastic gameplay.
Combat simulator with a character editor, complete stat tracking, challenges, up to 4 players and a TON of options for BOT A.I. and weapons?
Gameplay 9/10 Great gameplay. It really requires tactics then just running in front a squad of troops and firing your MP5 like a maniac. There are not a great variety of guns, though, but really great. The multiplayer also rocks (including Counter strike). The AI are probably the smartest of all videogames. They duck, strafe, group up like real soldiers. If they see you at a distance, they'll throw a grenade. The aliens are really cool.
I mean, characters are adorable and the story is good enough to pull you in, however, it wasn't just strong enough-
P.S.: you won't regret this.
HAVE FUN!!
If you never played Blue or Red, or at least Leaf Green or Fire Red, then you'll probably have a hard time knowing what to do in this game if you cannot read Japanese...
5) I love the character generation process. Really great!
3720 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Virtua Fighter may have a hard time competing with games such as DOA2, or tekken tag, but believe me this was what paved the way for those games. All though it lacks where the others seem to excell with story modes and hidden characters, virtua fighter makes up with character variety and a great display of styles (drunken style, mantis, sumo, etc.). I was shocked at how fun this game was even after playing more modern games. Even with new games on the market, I think i'll be playing this one for a while. The teacher of fighting games.
Some people hate the leveling system in this game, but once you understand it, it's really fun to aim for perfect stats. Basically, you are required to hunt down these beasts across the world map that become Guardian Forces once you've defeated them in battle. Sure, you can summon them in battles, but I never do that. I concentrate more on the junction options they give to your characters: Health, Physical Strength, Vitality, Magic and Endurance against Magic. Maxing these stats out to 255 each is real fun and challenging. Combine this with hunting down extremely rare items during your travels so you can refine them into powerful weapons and command abilities, and you're going to have your hands full for a couple of months. Thankfully, for some people, you do not need to do any of this to play and beat the game, but to me, it's another reason why I like this game.
5502 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The blitz series in my opinion is the most action for a sports game yet. I like realistic, franchise, challenging games and war strategy games. But this game in my opinion is the best multiplayer game for Nintendo ever.
What it has is the ability to get right under your skin, suck you in, and keep you playing. What's eerie is how much you feel like you're in the game when the graphics really aren't much to speak of (especially compared to today's games).
The summonings (also known as GF's, Eidolons, Espers, Aeons etc...)have been made more complicated by making it so that you can use them to learn new commands like turning monsters into cards. However as a party you can become very dependant on these monsteres because it is so much easier just to watch them take off heaps of damage reagrdless of what you do instead of attempting to get a weapon upgrade. And watching the cutscene of them killing monsters over and over again can get tiring very quickly. What I do is only use them in boss battles and try and learn J-Atk as quickly as possible to increase your own attack......you'll understand.
Where the game really excels in my opinion is how you choose to way to end the game. You can end at getting the weapons to their final place and launch the space shuttle, or you can go and get all the collectibles and open planetary travel. Going through the planet levels is fun and trying to earn all gold medals and then platinum is very challenging and will really up your skills.
Here Luigi is not required for this is Mario's solo adventure! In this game you are not in the Mushroom kingdom or the dream world of Subcon, instead you are in a weird place called Sarasaland where a new princess named Daisy was kidnapped by an alien named Tatanga. Here in this game you do 12 levels in 4 worlds as you fight goombas, Koopas with bombs instead of shells, Chinese ghosts, Moai statue heads that attack and more bizarre stuff.
3555 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You just have to buy one they have the same graphics as PS2 and Gamecube have which is 128 bits and the only thing I really don't like about it since it is the first CD game system sometimes when you are in the middle of playing a game it may just go to the system's main menu but that is very common if that happens just take the CD out and clean it by rubbing the CD on your shirt. When you want to stop a game you first hit open and than take the game out than close the disk door than hit power because if you just hit power than open it up it will not put on the brake. Which can damage the Dreamcast.
I love my dreamcast and play it regularly however A lot of the reason I enjoy it so much is because during my peak of gaming this is the system I had. If you missed the dreamcast growing up think twice and try it before you buy. Some of the happiest times were playing games like Nfl 2k1 when they came out or if a childhood friend came to visit. If you jump from next gen into dreamcast without experiencing it as when it was the NEW thing, your content with the console may not be as much as some reviewers will say. You kind of had to experience it IMO to fully enjoy it.
2107 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great Game
Story (score 10/10): The story, too, is excellent. I was thoroughly engaged by it; it has just the right balance of character development and intriguing plot points to keep you entertained. I've played this game at least six times now over the years and I'm still not sick of it.
For one thing, I never quite agreed with Ultima Online's system of player killing. For those of you not familiar with this term, that means that any "Joe Bob" on the internet can kill your character as soon as he/she leaves a town. It doesn't make the game any fun especially when you consider how many kids out there play this game and have nothing better to do than player kill all day long.
An annoying thing I realized is that sometimes you just can't defeat the other opponent even if you rush in with 150+ aircrafts if vehicles, kbots, or ships cannot do so. There are times when it will seem to be like a tie and I save the game and deal with it later. I'm talking about playing against the comp. btw...Playing against other players is great when you learn more about the game.
4630 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...Those with loaded guns and those who dig."
I won't reveal much of the plot, since it isn't particularly complicated or long, but all in all this game is great, though you can get sucked into it if you're not careful. The quiet, haunting intro theme is enough to leave you feeling as though you too, like your character, might possibly get sucked into an alternate dimension.
Try it. I think you will like it.
Killer Instinct has a story in there that no one cared for so you just jump into the action. Pick a character and you'll see the line of characters you must fight one after the other. Each character has his/her/its own moves waiting to be discovered. The game gets you acquainted to a combo system where you can string together certain moves to start a combo chain. The longer the chain, the more you get to beat up the opponent and take off more energy. To make it interesting (and to stop players from over dominating matches), each character has a "combo breaker" move: a certain combo then when you execute after someone tries to chain a combo, that character breaks out of it and hits your opponent at the same time. When your opponent loses all of his/her energy, you get the chance to end the match by either knocking him/her off the stage or by doing an "end special": a special move that you execute to unleash a barrage of combo hits earning you an "ultra combo" (40 or more hits in a row.) If you take too long to finish your opponent, he/she comes back to life with a little bit of energy and is extra powerful. Alongside the main mode, you can get used to the controls in the practice mode, tweak the game setting in the options screen, take on another player in the 2 player VS mode and tournament mode, where up to 8 players can duke it by passing the controller around.
A gameplay tip I would like to mention is that most people say that to get the full experience you have to put a lot of stat points in intelligence and wisdom because this opens up more dialogue options and story elements. I am not sure how much is necessary to get everything, but just thought I'd pass that along. I created a mage and had them both very, very high.
833 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I highly recommend this game as a GREAT classic. It will feel dated and look terribly pixelated on your 90" screen, but it is a game worth playing. Pull it out for a day of "Reminiscent Gaming" or as a chance to dive deeper into the universe that is Zelda.
So overall this game is great if you have a bunch of friends over, however I would rather own the Gamecube version and that basically this is a rental for a weekend party.
This game offered so much fun, I almost want to go buy it again. Almost.
play instead. All personal preference.
3105 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The story and plot are interesting enough to keep a gamer entertained. Gameplay is entertaining, but also challenging.
9648 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Quite possibly the most fun to be had on the GBC. The fact that you can save and pick up your game at a later date is a great feature.
So there is a complaint. It's only a minor one. How awesome would it have been if Link were a playable character in the game? The game would have been very different, but it would have truly been awesome to see Mario AND Link fighting enemies together. Or even if they had made a separate game, Zelda RPG where Link and Zelda were playable characters...what could have been...
7115 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love it, cartridge was very well taken care of. very good condition, playing this classic.
The look of the game is from a top-down perspective, and the game is incredibly fast and bloody. The idea is to collect keys and health packs in order to advance to the next area. All the stages are like mazes. I forget how many stages their are, but you will discover a LOT of them.

9534 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I've been aware of Myst for around 10 years now, but never got to play it until now, when I bought this 1999 Masterpiece Edition. But for many years I saw pictures of this game like in magazines and I thought the game was worth buying for just the graphics. Well it has much more than just graphics going for it. Never having played the original from 1993, what I do know is Masterpiece Edition has improved graphics and features. It's nice to see a Rated E game that's fun to play. It's the kind of game even recommended to those who think video games have contributed to the downfall of American society. It's also truly a recommended game if you are sick and tired of those slasher or shoot 'em up games. The game is stuffed with puzzles where you have to open up secret passages, look for clues, activate a spaceship, a tree elevator, or whatever, in order to look for missing pages from a book. The only drawback is some of the quests are a bit on the tedious side. But to make things easier, just write down clues on paper, writting some of this stuff on paper would help save time (some of it is crucial). This package also comes with a screensaver with soundtrack CD. If you like the music from the game enough, then you have this CD to hear the music on a regular CD player. As for the game itself, the graphics are wonderful, and in many places are quite realistic (of course there are other scenes that look obviously like computer graphics). I'm glad to to finally get Myst, and I look forward to getting the sequels.

6378 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this game at a fairly low price, and when I started playing, I was totally amazed - at the incredibly bad graphics.
The music selection is really good and catchy. Once the game starts, Michael walks through the first door, flings a quarter into the jukebox as SMOOTH CRIMINAL starts playing.
1979 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great
The game's only real downfall comes from the fact that the story isn't anywhere near as compelling as the other games, as it just takes place in the same time frame as RE2. Well, specifically, the first half of the game starts a day before the events of RE2 and then the second half picks up several days after that game. Basically, the plot consists of Jill Valentine (star of the first game, and thankfully NOT played by the same voice actress!) trying to escape the streets of the T-Virus infested Raccoon City, all the while avoiding getting killed by the Nemesis (a crazed rocket wielding monster who's out to kill STARS members). There's nothing really surprising to the story, although Jill does encounter numerous mercenaries from Umbrella's evacuation fighting squad. Carlos is the only one Jill spends the most time with and he resembles sort of a love interest for her. Capcom doesn't really succeed as much with these two as say the relationship between Ada and Leon or the young girl Sherry's affection towards Claire, both in the previous game. Still, there are multiple paths and different endings to achieve, so plenty of replayability is here. Thankfully, any fallacy of the story is more than made up for by the gameplay.
659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 As described. Fast shipping.
Basically, though it's graphics resemble the SNES Tales of Phantasia, the game is still good. Graphics, to me, don't make the game--its the story.
All in all, Half-Life is great. I'd highly reccommend it for anyone wanting story, gameplay, replayability, and fun in one big package. Don't forget the thousands of downloadable levels online- The Rats style levels, in which you are 6 inches tall in a bathroom/kitchen/livingroom/ect., are personal favorites.
Knuckles--good
6034 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of a handful of decent expansion packs, this takes the original plot of 'Half-Life' and looks at it from the perspective of one of the 'grunts' sent to 'pacify' the disaster site at Black Mesa. That said, your original mission becomes quickly subverted due to unforseen intervention, and you find yourself rushing through a 'Half-Life' parallel universe, sometime intersecting with the original game. It's essentially more of the same, but shorter (a terrible shame), although you get an expanded arsenal, and some useful allies. There's more of an emphasis on multi-character soldier vs soldier battles than before, and at times this could easily have been 'Kelly's Heroes : The Game', such was the war film atmosphere. Whilst 'Half-Life' finished with a dissapointing trek through an alien world, 'OF' sticks closely to reality (although you can beam yourself into 'Zen' if you so desire). The tragic, tragic shame of it all is that you'll probably finish it in a couple of days, as it isn't very big. Roll on 'Half-Life 2'.
1) The graphics are a little dated and sometimes are hard to make out but don't let that distract you!
This game carries on straight from Sonic 2. The Death egg crash lands on Angel island, and Eggman meats the owner; Knuckles. Knuckles makes friends with Eggman, and gets convinced that Sonic & Tails are bad guys! So when Eggman hears that there is a master emerald on the island making it float, Eggman tells Knuckles that Sonic is after it. Sonic is having a break, flying in the Tornado Bi-plane with Tails, when he notices the island. Sonic is keen to explore, but Knuckles steals all of south islands chaos emeralds from Sonic! Plus he sees badniks roaming the place. So Sonic sets off to stop Robotnik and get the emeralds back. The plot twists and turns, and in the end it turns into Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fighting Eggman in space. Here's a list of the awsome levels!
- For those of you who are serious collectors of rare and old video games like me, this is a must since it was the first major Nintendo Gaming Console to feature 3D Graphics in almost all games.
Thank you Street Fighter.
I have really enjoyed this game, I think it's one of the classics for SNES, and I would recommend this for everyone.

5762 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 The way the light/magnifier is mounted on the gameboy places the lens too far away and thus you have to be looking straight at the gameboy, it can't be tilted left or right. Also the lights do brighten the screen but again, unless your looking straight on the lights will leave "hot spots" on your screen. "Hot spots" is when light reflects off the screen and makes it difficult to see. This product eats batteries and makes gaming harder. Not a good purchase.
A true RPG classic in its own right.

8112 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I heard that this game was in devolpment many moons ago, I was apprehensive because I had played Vampire the Masquerade for a couple years and loved the detailed and rich world created by White Wolf. After buying the game though, the pro's really outweigh the cons. First off, Activision decided that they would fraction the normal 'dot' system to extend overall game play by slowing the rate at which a character can grow. (Through truthfully, they could have applied the experience rules as is, but I see the logic here.) Veteran players will also notice a lack of Disciplines and some addational costs to usually free ones (ie. Potence and Fortitude.) in an effort to prevent abuse of them. (I won't bring up the lack of Skills, Talents, and Knowledge...)
6437 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It ain't easy being king, but it sure is a heck of a fun time in 'Age of Kings II', one of the best PC historical real-time strategy games out there. There's not much I can say to extoll the virtues of this extremely fun game that hasn't already been said.

2. Having to use a cursor instead of walking with the d pad, my cursor on the game sometimes screwed up and the character wouldnt run and she kept goign all over the place, i foudn out you have to click it a certain way but don't worry its easy, i was being stupid and not noticing it... lol....
3. 20 all-new annihilating weapons
Unlike most traditional RPG's the enemies are not Randomly Generated. For example, in Final Fantasy you move around a area and all of a sudden you are pulled into battle. This is not the case here. While you are traveling through areas in this game you can see the enemy and engage in combat with them by walking into them. From this you can either surprise them and attack first, or if they run into you they get the first strike. All in all, a very interesting concept. There are so many other things I could go into, but I won't give it away.
6316 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The console has worked perfectly so far. It shipped pretty quickly, and the price was reasonable. I really appreciated the controller and game that were thrown in.
3868 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Just as promised.
8548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, if you haven't played this game, then where in the world are you? On my list of favorite rpgs this is nocked up at the top for #1. If you think its stupid that a plumber stars in one of the best rpgs then you are stupid yourself because this is NOTHING like other rpgs.
Playing "Super Mario World" was a pure revelation that first time, and a perfect exhibition of the power of the SNES. The graphics were gorgeous, the enemies were monstrous yet whimsical, and the Bullet Bills were enormous.
3187 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 He loves it and the price better than department stores!
Good game though.
7664 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this is probably the best ps1 game I have ever played. Wont go into details cause thers a gamespot review above that dose. my only complaints are that you cant buy commandos and cant build transport choppers. The glitches that plagued it on ps1 and ps2 don't carry over to ps3. on ps3 its fast, dosnt slow when you have alot of troops, things build and move faster and seems to be funner on the ps3 (it works on the ps3 slim as well, thats what I use.) Here are some codes for bonus Missions and things:
I keep my cars stock.
However, it also means that the puzzles are less contained and linear than in the other Myst games. As well as a number of smaller puzzles, there are two major puzzles to be solved, clues for which are scattered throughout the islands. Even with the smaller puzzles, the control to open a vital door might be located a long distance away, or only accessible via a very circuitous route. This can add another degree of complexity to the puzzles. Having said that, there is a degree of logic to most of the controls which are based on the culture and lifestyle of the inhabitants of Riven. The puzzles generally also operate in a logical manner and relate well to the entire environment of the game.
The combat, while fun and reminiscent of Diablo, only keeps its spark for the first part of the game. Most of it consists of clicking on an enemy and waiting until you've hit them enough times for them to die. A big flaw that becomes noticable during the first few levels is that the enemies wait until you are in range before they attack. They will simply stand idle as you slaughter others in the same room! As the game progresses you will gain party members, and will bemoan similarly incompetant AI. I equipped one with a bow and laughed in disbelief as he continuously fired in to a wall when he should have moved a couple steps to the side before doing so. Also, you can control the other members of your party in combat, but the main character will stop fighting while you are doing so! Aaahhhh! Add to this that you can go through entire areas and clean up with little to no problem, but then come across certain areas that will be nigh impossible to pass. Both enemies and your fellow party members will get hung up on walls, doors and other obstacles in the room.
Each act focuses to a different extent on action vs. adventure gaming and can be played in any order (I recommend doing them in order unless you get stuck and can't get help immediately). Act 1 and Act 2 are an excellent balance, Act 3 is mainly action, and Act 4 is mainly puzzle solving. Each Act is also wildly different in its villians and settings, so you never grow bored, and the characters are very well realized and leave you wanting to experience more adventures with them (there are rumours that this will be made into a TV series!).
if you stick it onto Sonic 3 and you'll get the massive adventure that Sega wanted to release all along - in other words The best SONIC GAME EVER. Play as all three of the furballs going through both games and collecting chaos emeralds to become superforms but when u lock sonic 3 with Sonic and Knuckles after the sonic 3 section theres a special ring which after collecting all the chaos emeralds u have to unlock the Super emeralds which unlock Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckles, and Super Tails. On top of that, stick it onto Sonic 1 or any other Genesis game and you'll now have access to unlimited random Special Stages styled from Sonic 3.

It's probably the hardest going through the tournaments (all three of them) with Goldust because his energy seems to drain very quickly, and it's probably the easiest to complete these tournaments with Shawn Michaels or the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith because they have MANY power moves that finish your opponent off very quickly.
5506 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Okay, sure. The graphics may be a little poor and the game play may be a little hard especially because this game is a side-scroller, but this is still I would think the greatest MK ever. This game goes beyond the tournament and the story rules. Mythologies goes back into the past, before the orginal Mortal Kombat. As Sub-Zero, you must find the symbols that represent the elements and defeat totally cool bosses. By far, the best part of the game is the end level, which takes you into the maze of Quan Chi's fortress where you later meet up with him and the original Shinnok. This MK game is a must-have for any Mortal Kombat fan who enjoys MK's dark storylines more than the tournamet fights.
Perfect Dark was released in 2000 and you control Joanna Dark, a secret agent who sets out to investigate a shady corporation and it is set in the future. It packed twice the punch of Goldeneye in the way of better graphics, awesome music, smarter A.I. (pretty impressive at the time), better weapons and nearly limitless customization of multiplayer matches and fun multiplayer modes. Perfect Dark was so much fun to play, with or without your friends.
Some of the level's are easy and some are a little hard so thing careful. I playden this game so any time that's funny ha,,,ha ,,,ha. I don't know why that's funny.
2790 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I hold a deep affection for this game. My brother bought it for Playstation on a whim, having never either played or heard of Myst (I still haven't played it), and I played the game alongside him, both of us consulting the walkthrough the whole time (something I now do not condone, but we were young - what do you expect?), and thoroughly enjoying it. We had hours of fun playing it over and over, memorizing the steps, the scenes, and every instance of the number 5.
2265 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 ill start with the goods first of all its nice having this little gadget for ur N64 for games like The Legend of Zelda:Majoras Mask that requires u to have it and Perfect Dark where u practically need it to get the most out of the gameplay now the few bad things its a little difficult to get out the original jumperpak with the cheap plastic thingy they give you and for some of the games there aren't much improvements with it they have pretty much the same graphics as the jumperpak but with like hydro thunder then u can have 4 players instead of 2 or 3 (i forget which 1 it is cause i don't own the game i just saw the reviews off of nintendo magazines
The sound is better & more clear/sharp than the Genesis version.
I know this is an old game and the graphics don't stand up to the ones of today, however the strategic gameplay and brilliantly detailed story make up for the graphics. Pros: A lot of customization, Great story, Great gameplay. Cons: Outdated Graphics. The Pros GREATLY! outweigh the Cons. 5 out of 5!
5741 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I had high expectations for this game. Graphics, story, general presentation -- it all falls short.
This game was made by Pandemic, the same people that created Battlezone 2 (BZ2). This was a game that was prone to crashes (especially on NVIDIA videocards) and was infested with all manner of game-crashing bugs. Basically, BZ2 was a game that could've been a classic if it hadn't been for those horrible bugs.
FFV- Advanced job system (level up with one of the non-command skills to default class, and you permanently learn it, for instance the run skill you can learn from the thief, and then de-equip it)
3295 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 NBA Showtime was the newest incarnation of the very popular and ongoing NBA JAM series except now it went a little more high scale because it takes the NBA on NBC jingles, videos and of course the stills and visuals of the NBA on NBC TV programming.
2077 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have to admit, as much as I want to praise this game, it is mostly wasted potential. Even though this game came out in the later stage of the N64's run, it has the graphics of a third party release title. (Read: They're not all that great.) Everything about the game reaches towards high concepts, but almost nothing reaches its goal. The idea is that you are a timetraveling hero who has to save the world from various attacks from interstellar insects throughout history. While the story is pure fluff, the gameplay (at least in theory) is not. DMA is well known for the Grand Theft Auto series of games, and Body Harvest follows a similar formula. You shoot things, then you get into various vehicles and shoot more things. The main difference is that in Body Harvest you don't want to run innocent people over.
9651 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I have loved every Pokemon game I have every played, and this one is by no means an exception. Pokemon Snap for the N64 game system is fun and very easy to play. Young children (ages 6+) would be able to through it with little difficulty and enjoy it. The object of the game is to go around taking pictures of pokemon that you encounter in different worlds or levels. Some pokemon are a little more difficult to find, but throughout the game you are given hints to give you an idea of what to do in order to find them. The Professor then rates those pictures based on certain criteria. If you get a certain number of points for your picture skills, you unlock a new world. There are only a handful of worlds, so you can get through the game within an hour. It is fun going through the levels multiple times to take better pictures than before, but after awhile, it gets a little boring. Still, once or twice a year, it is fun to take the game out of its storage and play it again, reliving childhood memories. If you have not played this game, I think it is something you will enjoy.
Overall, I spent a lot of time on this game. I could have beaten it a lot faster, but that wouldnt be any fun, because the fun part is discovering the secrets within the game itself.
In 98 this game was jst a instant classic, despite being overshadowed by loads of games(especially Metal Gear Solid, and Zelda:Ocorina of time). It's definitly unknown since GTA 3 and Vice City overshadowed it by a loooong mile, but yet I still play this game from time to time. In this game you could even say ... the police and let them eat the gat, take out a squad of them with a machine gun, blaze them up with a flame thrower, or just blow them away with almighty rocket launcher(That was propably the main reason this game got a lot of heat form contaversy). If you're used to GTA 3 or Vice City, then this game will hardly be interesting to you, but if you have this game, then I'm sure you appreciate the joy the classic burng to you, and took you on the crazy ride from this, all the way to vice city.
- No Co-Operative mode. The main game is just one player again, but there is a 2-player mode, just not working together to beat a stage.
There are all three secret cap levels that are a lot of sun as well, including flying. "Super Mario Bros. 3" may be the first time Mario flew, but it was "Super Mario 64" that Mario really took to flight like never before. Also the Princess's Secret Slide is a lot of sun fun, and houses the most obscure star of them all (you must beat the slide under 21 seconds, and the most surefire way to do that is actually jump off the slide and land down much farhter)
For most of the game you play as Tarzan, as a adult and as a kid, Terk in the camp level, and the amusing Jane sequence. The graphics are very good, capturing the spirit of a jungle, with lots of creatures wondering around, light from treetops and lots more. Disney has always been good in delivering great music that is enjoyable all by itself and Tarzan is no diffrent, with bongos, drums and the themes from the movie.
You are the unseen ruler of one of 13 uinque ancient civilizations. Your objective is to either strive to conquer with a strong military, find and bank three religious relics, or build a wonder to increase the prestige of your civilization. Each time you play you can pick which civ. you want to be, what civ. your enemies and allies are, what objective you are to meet, the difficulty level, the location of your game, how many resources you start out with, and what age ( Dark, Feudal, Feudal, Castle, Umperial) your civ will begin in. Oh, and don't forget about your population limit!
Mario Party is a great single player and multiplayer game. And can be enjoyed by anyone of any age though the game is out of date I find this to be one of the best of the Mario Party series. With this I give this game an overall score of 8.5/10!
2. Colorful, archaic, fantasty-land-type graphics. Journeys through time and through the looking glass. A spell system that reverses itself, with hilarious results.
Well until Diablo II comes out (as many have said) you could do a lot worse than this game.
Why do some zombies take more bullets than others? Why do zombies respawn in some areas? What's up with all the backtracking in this game? You're still forced to use the stupid typewriter ribbons to SAVE? These are some of the questions you'll ask yourself when you play the Code Veronica. Has the series evolved? If you get past the improved graphics, the answer is NO. The control is just as sloppy as it was in RE1, albeit with a quick turnaround feature and a new two-handed gun mode (you burn through bullets faster this way). A great deal of prior planning and trial and error is required, which may have been good back when the series was young, but it has simply gotten to be tedious today.
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete originally came with a lot of extras. A soundtrack CD filled with the best tracks, a cloth map, a making of CD and a hardcover instruction booklet that even included a sample of the strategy guide made by Working Designs themselves. It's quite the collector's item to have.
but they make me say more... with people selling off their old things for extra cash, now is the perfect time to re buy those old games that you let go over the years
5831 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This is the expansion pack for Rollercoaster Tycoon. It has new scenareos, new rides, new scenery and other new features to add to the already cool theme parks.
867 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Developer Rare is a master at infusing originality into their imitations. This isn't a knock against them. William Shakespeare pulled stories and plots from other writers and crafted masterpieces. Rare is gamedom's Shakespeare, in that regard. Banjo-Kazooie is obviously influenced by Super Mario 64, although it's always unfortunate for a game to be compared to that masterpiece. While Banjo-Kazooie lacks Super Mario 64's magic and ingenuity, it has its own magic that sets it apart from Nintendo's behemoth.
The music and sounds are also very good. The tunes are memorable and who doesn't love the sound of collecting 1ups?
If you can't find the time or companions for some good old gaming, "Planescape: Torment" is a good substitute.
There are two ways to win the game. One is to take over the world and be the last civilization standing. The other for the non war monger is the spaceship path. Be the first to build a space ship and reach Alpha Centrui and you win. There is also the run out of time and have the highest score victory if all else fails and you reach the last year. There are 5 different difficulities so there are many options for how tough you want the computer opponents to be. You can either manhandle em or be humbled, either way it still is fun.
Try junctioning the spell zombie to your status attack, and the use life to instantly kill alot of tougher enemies. Have fun!
5363 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Product was exactly as described and arrived as expected.
1354 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of my all time favorite games for the Nintendo 64! I missed playing this and finally ordered the game just to feel the nostalgia, ha. The game works perfectly, and I feel like a little kid again fighting bowser :D
I take off the 1.9 because the battle system can get repetitive near the end of the game. The boss battles have you basically using the same spell per character each turn, hoping you have enough left to finish him off. This makes the usual fun boss fights, a little less fun than normal. Atleast they're challenging, though, since they always have the same level as your characters. I didn't take off any more for the semi-basic storyline, and not so deep skill learning system because of the time it came out. That's something you have to realize when playing this game: it was one of the best for it's time.
The main gameplay has Mario go fetch a key and then use the key to open up a locked door to move on. The levels are clever, fun to play, and just downright cool. In fact, Mario can use acrobatic skills to help him through the levels. He can somersault, flip, and perform handstand jumps.
If you like games then you well like super moreo 3D world. A reason why supr moreo 3D worls is aseme is because you get to save some one because an evil person took the faire. one reason why spr more 3D world is aseme is becuase you get to ride a dinesor and her name is plissei because she pleses on ever thing is send thay crase.
1799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great to deal with. Got exactly what we ordered and in a very timely fashion. Trustworthy vendor for ordering product.
You play Alucard, a blood relative of the evil Dracula, in your quest to put the evil of your family line to rest. Most Castlevania games feature whip-wielding Belmonts as the main character, but trust me - Alucard is the ultimate video game hero. His aloof yet admirable personality, sword skills, and awesome appearance make him a hero that you can truly be proud to play as. Alucard is a major contributor to the trend in good video games to make a more complex protagonist.
1705 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
516 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great game
There are other minor bugs - icons don't consistantly draw in, and multi-player bugs are slightly annoying. The game itself is WAY too short when played in single player mode. Multi-player gets old really quickly, as you run around trying to kill each other over and over again. How about cooperative quests, like in BG?
It's like watching The Matrix on a shoddy VHS tape copied from a friend, and then seeing it on DVD. It's an amazing difference for a very low price.
3477 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 It's a non-generic memory card.
3270 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 The Resident Evil series has been on a steady decline since the first game came out in the mid-90's. It seems that they make these games harder and harder than they should be and Code Veronica is no exception. It's not the simplistic puzzles that make the game difficult, rather, it's the lack of ammo and healing items that make what what should be easy battles far more difficult than they should be.
5824 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Pharoah was a Christmas gift to me in 1999. I wore out a copy the first year I had it, and even now, over two years later, it's still my favorite of the strategy/city building games. There's so much to it that it can take a year or more to get used to it all.
2. When a decision point occurs, the game will not respond if you click too quickly. In order for your decision to register, you must hold the mouse down firmly for a second or two.
There is "aku-aku," which is a mask that is considered as an extra life if you get touched by any of the enemies. Take 3 aku-akus and you become invincible for some seconds and you kill any of the enemies by a mere touch.
Those two problems are my only real gripes with StarCraft. The units are interesting, the characters (and voice-acting) are fantastic, and the three races are very well-balanced. There's a reason that StarCraft is one of the most celebrated RTS games of all time; essentially everything about it is almost pure excellence aside from a few issues.
-4-Way BATTLE. Nuff said.
Cons: 1. Sometimes when scissorman jumps out, you sometimes don't really have any hiding places and have to run through ten million doors to find one...
2762 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Released back in 1995, Myst is a classic game that revolutionized the gaming industry. Rand and Robyn Miller created a new type of game which diverted from the typical mass market and took off into a fascinating and innovative direction. It's hailed as a landmark in the industry and praised for both its aesthetics and story.
6781 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Perfect in every way! My son loves this game! Thank you!
58 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 a great collectors item i don't want to get rid of anytime soon
It doesnt. Hes shifting from life & dead
3651 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game can really make a bad day go good. As one of the best 3 games for the Playstation that I have, I can say I'm impressed. I am not very good at it, but a challenge always brightens me up. I don't like Tekken Force mode, a side-scrolling thingy where you fight soldiers with strange names like Hawk. I think I like Arcade Mode the best, where you fight, fight, fight. Really great game. I haven't tried the other Tekken games, but I'm sure that there won't be any other game of this series that can beat this dang fighting game. I bet nothing will stand up to this game that I like to call the Fighting Game King!!!
No, Luigi is not in the game. There was a major hoax citing ridiculous methods that would unlock Luigi, but all proved untrue. Kind of strange Luigi wasn't in the game, but not that big of a deal.

6166 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what I wanted. Works 100%. Perfect condition.
2841 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I got to admit, I know the game is aimed more towards kids but I'm 35 and I had a blast with this game. I never even heard of the game til it was shown to me in someones' collection. Being bored one day, I put it in the Playstation to check it out and, lo and behold, I played that game til early the next morning. The object of the game is to catch all the monkeys lose in each level. Trust me, it isn't as easy as you might think. It takes some smarts to get them lil critters. Armed with several different gadgets, you're a one-man monkey catching machine. I know it might seem like a silly game to you but it's one of the most fun games I've played in a long while. You definitely owe it to yourself to see what it's all about.
4883 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game fetches for hundreds of dollars nowadays, but with that said, this is a pretty good game. You have a plot that interconnects with 108 different characters that can be recruited at their perspective times, but unless you are a completionist, you will be extremely disappointed in the ending you will get. Now, whether or not you want to spend $100 on this is entirely up to you. I spent it, and I felt I somewhat got my money's worth, but at the same time, a little disappointed that I spent this much on a game, but oh well, there is worse, like $400 for Panzer Dragoon Saga. Anyways, just like with any other Suikoden entry, you can go to war with the kingdom whom the main character is opposing with, and use all kinds of tactics in battle that will determine your fate. The story is pretty solid, and the character development is also quite solid as well, and you have a lot of lush, beautiful environments to traverse through, with a world map. Overall, this game is good, but be prepared to drop a fraction of your wallet if you want this.
8844 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Of all the greats...Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger, NBA Jam...yup, I would name this one first. Buy it, play it, love it.

Gameplay: The controls were touched up so the ship didn't bounce anymore, it seemed to glide effortlessly on the tracks. When you picked up speed, you sat on the edge of your seat trying not to touch the wall. The ship responded exactly the way you wanted it to.
In any case, I personally recommend Mischief Makers to any gamer who can tolerate mostly-two-dimensional side-scrollers. Not only does it have a female hero (okay so she's really a robot), it's also lots of fun with few complications. There is so much mindless humor, you might go boom. "Okay, whatever!" you ask? Right. Did I mention no struggling with camera angles? That's right: no clipping, no awkward views, and no blocky characters.
5736 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is with Final Fantasy IX one of the best games on the saga, it is full of good animations, the stoy is excellent and it has a lot of hidden stuff that will keep you playing for hours.

8052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Completely classic and just as fun as when I first played. Plus with internet now, its crazy to see all the hidden levels!
As far as rallye racing. This game is the best out there today.
68 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a must have for a Zelda collector. Even if it just goes on a shelf to never be opened, it looks great! Some of the guides in it I never saw released (Twilight Princess) and I wonder how I missed them. Great buy for the just over $100 I paid. A lot of the guides by themselves are selling $40-50 ea.
2332 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is a Classic Star wars Game at first when playing this game i thought it was stupid but then i played it more and found it really quite good the story line is good and i like how you can choose what the characters say sometimes.....i love the podrace levels with jabba the hut those levels are really fun if you are a star wars fan or enjoy good fun get this game
3030 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 quite honestly, no video games really come close to the immersion and fun here. im not even really a fan of RPGs, i wish i could pinpoint whats so amazing about this game (and the prequel, crisis core) but its one of those things you would need to play to understand. there aren't any voices, yet the character immersion is better than any modern day game. pure gold.
8823 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Golden Axe is a hack 'n slash game originally released in arcades. The Genesis port has two more levels than the original, and some more features.
It pretty much feels just like the PC version but it's a little darker on the graphics. You will have to run trough the game control settings to find the right feel for you if you're like me and where used to using the keyboard.
3284 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I didn't expect this game to be so fun. I just picked it up, just expecting to shoot things. I couldn't of been anymore wrong. This game is the best game out for the Dreamcast. No question in my mind. First off, you just don't shoot thing. There is actually a real plot to this game. Which sometimes lacks in others in this genre. There are puzzles to solve, so you actually have to think to play. But the best feature in this game is the mood. It's just so morbid, you feel like your in the game. No joke. If I see a zombie, I start to wig-out. It draws you in. I really can't describe it. The only way you'll know what I'm talking about is to play the game. It's the greatest.
To put it another way- in Super Mario World it feels like you're going through the levels simply to collect coins and extra lives. In the Donkey Kong Country series, you pretty much do the same thing (except bananas instead of coins) but it seems like the DKC series offers more creativity in the level design, which allows you to look forward to each stage and think to yourself "I wonder what cool thing I get to do in THIS stage". It's not like that in Super Mario World."
Gamestop and spot hate it
-New level
8810 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is what ALL other fighting games to this day strive for and don't pull off. This game was released in 1994, it's 2010 and this game is still one of the most coveted video games in existance. How can this game be a rip off when it pioneered the fighting genre of video games? The innovation this game's developers brought to the plate was WAY ahead of it's time...why do you think there were so many Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter releases? Granted those games were fun as well, but they had their work cut out for them. 2 games, 4 ports (K.I. 1&2 arcade, K.I. SNES, & K.I. Gold) put a lot of the games from the last decade to shame end of story close the book.
4328 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Good graphics, good plot, decent puzzles. I pull it out every few months and go through the whole thing again. It never gets boring. The extra missions that can be downloaded from Lucasarts are really good, too.

In overtime you play for two minutes and the first team to score doesn't win instead it's the person who has the most points at the end of a quarter.
36 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I can't tell you what a piece of dog**** this game is. Like everything else Microsoft makes- it doesn't work. When are they going to take a cue from Apple and make things that actually work the first time and every time. To log onto this game they make you jump through a series of hoops that takes like 15 min. to accomplish. If you want another disappointment from Microsoft, buy some "Games for Windows Live" games. I just wanted a simple arcade like driving game when I have a young boy visiting. If that's what you want, don't buy this. If you want to hire a consultant to help you run this game, then buy it. oh, one more thing, every time I do get this game to play my joystick stops working (there's Windows 7 for you)
It's fun, it's scary, and it is one hell of a ride. Ultimatley, Resident Evil 2 will give some nightmares. If the first one scared you, get ready to be terrified again!
Finally, for the last pro, other cool characters than the ones mentioned are here(they are not as cool as King, Yoshimitsu, Nina, Jin, Bryan Fury, who's also here, Paul, Gun Jack, Heihachi Mishima, the second to last boss, Hwoarang, Kazuya Mishima, here without first mention, or Lei Wulong, who also is here without the first mention, but they still really, really rock and I love them all) They include Anna Willaims, a great villain who not only is better than Ogre but also Nina's sister, Julia Chang, a good looking woman and a skilled fighter, but she really has got to do something about her hair, Eddy Gordo, a really cool 50-Cent like hero who dresses in yellow & green, Forest Law, brother of the awesome Marshall Law who he's just as fast & skilled as, Kuma, a cool looking grizzly bear fighter who really knows how to bring down the house(literally)and Panda, her brother is Kuma and she is cute if not a little bit of a softie. Oh well, she's a pretty decent fighter if you know how to use her. Nuff said
The PROS: Nintendo took the first game and expanded it into a brand new game while keeping the same concept and controls. It paid off big time as Kirby's Dream Land 2 is even more fun to play. The graphics looked great and the new music is as cheerful as ever while the controls work just as good as before. Adding abilities to Kirby like absorbing enemy powers and teaming up with animals adds new twists to the gameplay. There are more levels and they are longer now so it's not as short as the first game. The battery backed save and exclusive colors when you play the game on the Super Game Boy round out an overall excellent game.

There is more to horror gaming than just guns, blood, guts and linear story line.
Overall: 8/10 - Great game with an excellent reputation. Crash 2 and 3 surpass it slightly, but this is still an easy-on-the-brain, fun and original idea.
I do not mind that the cloth maps were not in the books since I've heard that the quality for them were not that great.
But Final Fantasy's core has always been its great storylines, and this installment has one of the best. Characters develop and mature realistically, and you get to know each one intimately, almost feeling kinship with some of them. The plot is suitably but not comically epic, and the main struggle plays out better than most Hollywood movies. Nearly everyone will laugh and cry at various parts of the game, a feat precious few video games have ever accomplished. From a storyteller's perspective the shocking twist at the game's midpoint is perhaps too easy a way to draw emotion from the player, but there is no denying its effectiveness, as it is one of the most memorable scenes in video game history.
4878 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed playing Suikoden II and consider it a fine addition to my RPG collection. While neither Suikoden nor Suikoden II seem to be rated with the upper echelon of outstandingly stellar RPG, the storyline is engaging, the characters are interesting and the graphics are cool. The graphics are so good, in fact, that players of the first Suikoden will recognize some old friends just by seeing them on the screen. The goal is still to try and recruit as many characters as possible, and you will have to go on a few side quests here and there to get them all. But it's worth it to unlock the entire story. There are also some special characters you can get who are not mandatory to your quest but are fun to take into battle. I don't think you'll be disappointed with Suikoden II.
2251 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 You should buy one of these if you have a Nintendo 64. This is required for some games and makes other games play better.
After slowly metabolising impressions about this game, I found out it is a story with a moral, or let's say short phylosophycal tale. If you want to play one RPG on PC, I am sure this is the one you need to play.
For 10 years the original was the only Crash Bandicoot game I knew, and truth be told, it was a pretty average game because every stage featured basically the same uninspiring, repetitive island environment where the object was to run to the end of every stage collecting berries and smashing all the boxes as a way to earn more lives and receive a better overall percentage.

2035 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 love this game
4743 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 this game is great because of many reasons, the main one being that you totally get pulled into the game and the characters on your team or "party" feel like real because all of them have a unique character, agenda, and background. furthermore, almost everyone you meet has something original to say to you. Of course after a while they will repeat. The game has a wide choice of install size too, from a huge 2 and a-litlle-bit gigabytes which will lower the loading times o a relatively small 317 mb which will make the game's load times long. The game is extremely long and can take from 1 to 5 and more days(depends on your skills, how often you save and whether you only do the main quest or if you do some or all of the subquests) The game is difficult on any difficulty level unless you follow the exact reccomended routes and not wander off to, you know, adventure. But if you save often, get the best armor and weapons for our characters, keep a lot fo potions with you and pause to think out your tactical moves, you should find the game extremely addictive and very fun! if you like Ad&D or if you really like rpg's, you will love this game. If you are new to the genre this will get you in the game and keep you in. If you aren't a fan of rpg's this is a good game to start with. If you want to try computer games, this might be a wee bit hard, unless you have playd AD&D.
After Eggman activates E-102 Gamma and fights E-101 Beta during his training, Eggman orders the rest of the E-Series robots to search for Froggy, a frog who has eaten Chaos's tail as well as a Chaos Emerald. Gamma finds Froggy but is chased back to the ship by Froggy's owner Big the Cat. After his crash, Tails finds another emerald and uses it to prepare the Tornado II plane to find Sonic while Sonic lands in Station Square once again. While lamenting her time with Sonic, Amy Rose discovers a Flicky bird and names him Birdie. However, Eggman, having discovered Birdie's location, dispatches his robot Zero to chase the Flicky down. After Sonic turns down an offer to protect Birdie, Zero captures Amy and Birdies and detains them both on Eggman's ship, the Egg Carrier. Sonic and Tails board the Tornado II and infiltrates the Egg Carrier. Knuckles also boards the aircraft after collecting pieces of the Master Emerald and seeing an image of the Egg Carrier in the emerald.

Well, if you were going to by one game for Playstation, make it this one. I promise you will not be disappointed!
The materia system in this game takes quite a long time to understand, but it will happen while you go through the game the first time. Thankfully there are plenty of tutorials in the game and the manual does a good job of explaining things.
1517 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So I was seting up for the next stream and then I found this lying around, I started to remember "Oh man this game was a lot of fun" so I started to play it again and it still is fun today. So here I am sitting here on Amazon.com and figured "well since my next stream is going to be for a Playstation game why not this first?"
Finally, this is must game for all shooter/action games frieds!
8198 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This review is hard to write because I am so mad that I wasted my money on this game. Oh whoopie, you can play as Zero the fighter, butt zero is how much I should've payed for this game. There isn't one thing about this game that I like. The story [is bad] and the fight and graphics are absolutely awful. If you want a real game, don't waste your money on this. Don't even rent this game. This game is so bad it make Pong look good.

Ive personally had these damage a system and ruin games. Look for sellers offering the real thing by Nintendo. Ive warned you. You can save a few bucks and take your chances. Deviation from the actual product isn't even allowed on Amazon. Their very listings are a violation to begin with. Their feedback speaks for itself.

Games: This is where the N64 had a huge advantage over the Playstation. Mario '64, Mario Kart, both Zelda games, Goldeneye, and a few other "also mentions" (DK, Perfect Dark, etc.) all had huge fan bases that Sony just could not satiate. The console wars hadn't quite devolved into "who has the best first-person shooter" yet, so gamers were still interested in adventure and racing contests. Whereas Nintendo had all those classics, Sony's "hero" was Crash Bandicoot. Yep.
It's no VII, but as a separate entity (which is often difficult to convince oneself to do) it is a decent game. It's getting progressively more difficult to find, hence the price, but if you want to blast away 80+ hours and reminisce on games before the 2000s, I'd recommend this one most definitely.
- Graphics may looked dated to some

5731 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love this game this game is the best game in the world!!!!!!
2659 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Street Alpha 3 really rocked in the Arcades and when they brough it to the homes of millions on the PSone, it still rocked, it looked great and of course how could you forget the many characters you had to choose from. In total (I want to say) 34 or 35? total characters including hidden characters. A definite up scale from the original Street Fighter Alpha where there's only 8 or 10 characters and 2 of which you could've easily done without (Sodom and Birdie).
i've found that slowing down the game's time clock will give me more time to manage the campaigns.
Mario Kart 64
2052 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 with this racing game you actually race across the country from state to state. some of the vehicles that you can drive are a bus cop cars there are two different color cop cars both different top speeds an old roadster and lots more. there are at least 12 maps to choose from. enjoy.
4398 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 There are many real time strategies to choose from, and most of them are much more complex in gameplay and in graphics. But folks, I have to say that I have found no RTS that is more fun and addicting to play than starcraft. Since broodwar was released, the game is even more fun! The single player components are very entertaining and the story line is top notch. I want to emphasize that because it is one of the best qualaties of the game. The multiplayer part of starcraft is what keeps me playing. I am really wondering if this game will ever get old to me, but it hasn't yet. This game is perfect for somebody who wants a game for the fun-factor and re-playablity.
Imagine watching a bad, low-budget science fiction film whilst playing a modern homage to 'Star Raiders' and you have the game in a nutshell. END
1656 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I actually did purchase this game two times. I lent it out some years ago and never got it back. I recently noticed that the price is very modest so I picked it up again. Why? This game is an older generation game (PS1), but it is better than some PS2 games I have played that only advertise graphics but have poor gameplay or short game time. Tenchu is a satisfying game that lets you creep around, slice necks from behind, and hide out on rooftops. You will avenge the death of a crooked merchant, rescue a captive nijna, save a princess, destroy a fiendish cult, stop the spanish pirates, and fight a big boss with a bigger sword. Of course there are those who opppose this type of activity and thus will try to stop you. Its lots of fun running around, hiding, killing from the unseen. Its better while doing it while the great game soundtrack is playing. This game has very catchy music that brings you you right in. The graphics, like I said, are mediocre, but that won't make or break a game anyway. Gameplay makes the game and this game has plently. Plenty of enemies to defeat, two selectable characters, a bunch of ninja items to utilize, and the percect amount of levels.
7110 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 i love the doom series and the old ones are the best i have the gba version of doom and the ps1 version of doom and i also have doom 3 but the n64 version is the best all the great guns from the original are here and there are new levels with better graphics and the enemies are smarter and meaner than ever get this game doom fans like me won't regret it
use a save state or cheats to beat it, but STILL PLAY THE GAME, IT'S AWESOME!!!!!
I don't care if the graphics don't wow me, or if the score is old and familiar like the Marx Brothers' "Duck Soup", or if the sound effects were designed for a SoundBlaster in 1998, the game is FUN.
2087 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This game is so stupid like one of the revier's said all you do is find stuff and haveto find the exit door. And the last three levels are impossible to beat because they all look the same and you keep finding the same door you went through before. This game is like doom, you know the one where you just see the weapon. Dont' get me wrong the graphics were cool but it just sucked and the only way to beat it is if you cheat.
9357 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Great
857 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Unless you intend to cheat and mod the game don't waste your money. Uneven gameplay,and few options plague this game,it is also way too short even at this reduced price. Spend your money on a game,just not this one. Hope this helps,I hate to have games collecting dust,but this is one of those and I own about 50 recent games so I know what's what.
4740 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I love Castlevania and this is the best 2D Castlevania ever made. Unfortunately I didn't buy a copy 10 years ago so I guess I'll have to download it on Xbox Live Arcade since price gouging has come to the PlayStation version, I traded in my old PlayStation and I heard that it isn't compatible with the PS2s backwards compatability mode (a shame).
In this game, you get to play as Yacko, Wacko and Dot and try to avoid being captured and being placed in the water tower (I don't know much about the plot of the game). If one or two of the Animaniacs get captured, you can go to the water tower and try to make it to the top to free them.
Secondly, because I'm more a roleplayer, I find the lack of choices in actions somewhat stifling. Yes, I would as a rule choose to go and do the heroic thing, but you don't really get any choice to even be reluctant, go get help, or anything else. You work alone, you volunteer automatically, and so on.
Graphically the game is a stunner. It looks like a million bucks, even on my average PC. The levels of object detail are (or were) unprecedented for shooters. Architectural design is often stunning, locations are both realistic and fantastically creative: Mafia hideouts are appropriately sleazy and opulent, a bizarre Goth-pagan nightclub thumps techno beats that become as chilling as any Resident Evil backgound noises. Object interactivity is high with lots of openable cabinets hiding powerup goodies, flushable toilets, and vending machines that drop snacks and pop!
-The new feature of playing as either X or Zero. SIMPLY AWESOME. You could do that in the previous game, but here is where you can choose who to play through the entire game. X is better for shooting long range, whereas Zero is more of a melee fighter.
I received a full refund for this purchase over the weekend in response to me negative experience with the product description. I would like to emphasize the the controller works flawlessly on my PS1, and I would have had no complaints what so ever if I had purchased the controller for that purpose. The controller arrived on time and everything else about my experience was delightful.
There's 15 huge courses with 7 missions in each (Counting 100 coin stars), with stars for rewards. Those stars help you unlock more levels.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Unbalance Economy: Simply put, the amount of money running around in the game doesn't balance out against the cost of most items. Local Militia, for example, can be trained for $750, a sum so small by comparison to what your mines are turning out that it doesn't even enter into your strategic thinking. Similarly, the rewards for completing quests in the game are ludicrously small wnen compared to your income. What do you say to a major NPC who is trying to get you to do some major quest by offering you 20K dollars. "Hello, I make more than that in a single day of mining. Why should I bother?". The numbers on a lot of this stuff need to be adjusted. 2. A preponderence of innefectual hand guns: For some reason, most of the mercs that you can afford at the start of the game come equipped with hand guns rahter than assault rifles. Excuse me? A professional merc who's going to airdrop into the middle of a civil war with only a pistol? This is particularly ludicrous when you realize how innefectual handguns are in this game. Even at close range, an NPC is likely to die of old age long before you ever manage to finish him off with a .38 revolver. Adding to this problem is the fact that you can't buy rifles. Oh sure, the nice mail order company that you do business with will send you ammo, but not big guns, grenades, night vision goggles, or any of the really cool stuff that you want to play with. To get that stuff, you have to ever so slowly find it off the bodies of dead enemies. In the course of 15 hours of play, I managed to find only two rifles. Unfortunately, they were of a calliber that I couldn't buy ammo for. Arrg. Why can't you just buy decent armaments in this game?
Id say forget the first three and star with: enter the dragonfly and legend series
GAMEPLAY: 10/10
2093 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 played this game years ago and owned it too but it got lost over the years lol. well now i have it agian and wow brings back memories :-) the gameplay is simple u race, u wreck, and when all else fails u go backward and smash anything that moves. there is not a game like this currently. there have been some sequals but they are not like this and a new game like this would be awesome!!!!
5543 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 This controler stinks. The joystick is messed up and turned at a slight angle (so you have to go slightly up and right to go straight up), the rubber grips fall off in the first week, and worst of all, it's confusing. I tried programing the buttons (because it's "fully programable") and believe it or not it works! sure you can't train whole sets of commands (like moves in fighting games) in, only replot the buttons but it works. The only problem comes in when you accidently press the clear button with a light in it and all of the sudden, none of the buttons perform the X action. Then, this controller will probably be unplugged and sent to the attic just like mine. Enjoy!:(
At the very beginning of the game, when I looked inside that giant item box beside the typewriter, I couldn't believe Capcom was so generous as to give me more than enough ammo right from the beginning. I really mean it- you receive a LOT of ammo from your item box. After beating the game, I had a ton of ammo leftover. Now, I realize people will probably look at this as a bad thing, and complain that lots of ammo greatly decreases the challenge and makes progressing through the game a cakewalk. They'd also have a point if they wanted to complain that giving you loads of easily-available ammo straight from your item box doesn't really define "strategy game", since you aren't spending the majority of your time dodging enemies- you can simply walk up to them and shoot them and have *more* than enough ammo available for the next enemy you encounter. They'd be absolutely correct, on both counts.
A lot of players have voiced a strong dislike for the materia system, claiming it kills the variety of your characters. The common consensus says that by giving the player the ability to assign any skill or spell to any character, Square has basically given you a bunch of clones with which to do battle. I'd have to disagree. If you really want to nitpick and pay attention to the specifics of each character's stats like that, you'll notice that each character has a different affinity to the various materia commands in the world. Sure, you can give anybody in your party the ability to cast "fire," but it's going to cause more damage if you give it to someone with an inherently high magic ability. Square's kept the variety in this cast, they've simply given you the ability to ignore each character's strengths and sculpt an army on your own accord.
Tails, Rogue, Shadow, Big, Silver, Cream, Froggy, Elise, Cluck, Scratch, Grounder, Coconut, Mama Robotnik, that 18 wheeler, Chaos, Tennis, Kart Racing, fan fiction and Knuckles not included.
The music in the game is nice. It's usually played quietly which is odd because most Mega Man music is RIGHT in your face. If you can actually hear the music, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a Mega Man game.

NO ADULTING!
8792 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is amazing, I loved playing this back in the SNES days. This was an extremely fun game playing with 2 people. In this game you have 5 characters to choose from, 3 being Battletoads and the other being Double Dragon. This game has a pretty good soundtrack in my opinion especially the first levels theme song. You have pretty average fights in this game, punches, kicks, super punches which make your hands grow big if you punch while running towards the enemy. This is an excellent game, the best on the Super Nintendo platform. One of the funnest things in this game could have been riding on those cars, that was very entertaining. So the answer to the question is, Battletoads & Double Dragon is one of the funnest Super Nintendo games!
Even with all the shortcomings of this obsolete 2d technology, I think it brings more life to this post apocalyptic world.

6953 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Quest 64 is a Role Playing game that stresses 3d eye-candy, with little depth of story, plot, and no long lasting appeal (all three are essential, along with others, for a good rpg).
9981 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is one of my favorites in my genesis collection, I got it back in the day on the release date for I want to say somewhere around 60+ dollars. I had been a big fan of the other street fighter titles and had spent many a quarter playing this one in the arcades before the release date. It was an awesome game on the genesis so long as you had the six button controller (anyone playing fighting games on the genesis without one is insane lol), great variety of characters compared to the earlier titles. The voices on the genesis port were lacking, but IMO the awesome gameplay and graphics for its time made up for that. I was young when I was playing these games, but still own my genesis collection and still play em from time to time, a must have for any classic fighting game collector. I still have this one, SF2 champion edition and all the mortal kombats, as i was a fighting game fanatic and still am. If you never played this one and are looking to expand your genesis collection, I strongly reccomend it!
966 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 So much fun, It improves the 1st one so much, love the settings menu, the blood and physics are awesome.
The plot unfolds throughout the game, picking up its pace toward the end, but not falling prey to the common problem of tying up all the plot threads in two minutes. It's well-paced, the plot twists arising out of the characters and situations as presented, and nothing really shows up as a deus ex machina (except for the bit with the blasted snake ...)
260 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This memory card has unleashed my games from start, but don't stop gameplay to awe yeah, now let's get some lunch... Save! gameplay. Holds up well, saves and loads reliably, does what a card should do: Save my Games!!
There are 16 courses you can race in, along with 4 courses for your average Battle Mode.
The PROS: For what it brings to the table, it's a good game. While the story is not the most original, it's enough to get you into the game. The animation is decent, sound effects & music are good and the controls take some getting used but thanks to the game's tutorial mode, it isn't a problem that lasts long. It's a long game and beating it on all the difficulty levels to unlock the extra content gives plenty of incentive. While playing it on easy mode gets you used to how the game works, normal and hard modes bump up the difficulty so it will give you a challenge.
The premise is that magic has been banned by the Grand Inquisitor and the head wizard has been trapped in a lantern. Said lantern makes interesting wisecracks as you play ("Your sword is blowing glue! I mean.. er... glowing blue!") and helps keep a light edge to it all.
8288 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is a lot of fun, but quite challenging. The graphics are OK. There's plenty of tension, and so excitement, during the game. There are three difficulty levels. Easy is too easy. Hard is too hard. But Normal is just right (after at least 10 games) IF you play the Kra'Hen (Klingons) until you are pretty good. THEN you can try the Solarians (humans). The Kra'Hen are much easier. The Shinari don't seem to work right. Initially, keep your taxes low for rapid population growth. In fact, when your planet has less than 10,000 people, use NO TAX. From 10,000 to 19,999 use low tax. 20,000 and above use moderate tax. The reason is, your population growth depends strongly on tax, but not at all on population size. Therefore, you wouldn't get much tax from small population planets anyway, so make them grow fast. Use HIGH TAX and no autobuild on all planets when you have half the galaxy or so conquered. Also use high tax if needed to satisfy a short term demand of the God Emperor. KEEP THE GOD EMPEROR HAPPY at all costs. Do these things and you will have a lot of fun on moderate difficulty and even win sometimes!
8613 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This version of Super Mario Kart lacks the cleverness of the newer versions for the more modern consoles, but in my opinion the PvP action in this one is easier to assimilate and easier to navigate which means the business of bursting each other's balloons is the primary objective, not constantly trying to *find* each other.
9765 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 GT2 is one of the all-time classics in any genre. The variety of cars is staggering and the physics model is top-notch. Even with the advent of four new gaming systems since GT2 hit the scene, the graphics hold up pretty well. It's a must for the collection of any gamer that even remotely enjoys cars and driving.
Now for my reasons for the 1 star.
I first learned of these Wario Land Games by spending many months learning, on my own, through the Wario Land 4 cartridges that I bought as people traded them in at Video Game stores. When the kids were getting older and ready for more aggressive fare, I suppose. I loved buying them and seeing how far along the original owner had - had not - gotten. I bought a bunch of them while they were still available as I realized that it would only be a matter of time before the newer and newer games and consoles would cause these to not only become unavailable, but possibly unappreciated for the wonderful things they are.

9472 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 I am just as aware as anyone that people do not base their opinions of popular videogames on intelligent scripting, intelligent plot, intelligent substance, and intelligent thinking, so no one has to remind me. If they did, this "Colony Wars" never would've left a single draft.
Overall: 9/10 - This blew me away with its creativity and amazing graphics. The ultimate original 3D platform game! If you liked this I recommend the Crash Bandicoot games and the sequels to Spyro the Dragon which are even better than this tasty candy.
This game is so long it took me bout 2 months to pass it.
9155 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Two words that simply make this game worth playing: Bullet-time!
9892 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I used to feed quarters to this arcade like crazy years ago. My friend had this on Sega & we'd play it for hours! It was a classic game for the Genesis. In 2007 I finally bought this to add to my game collection. So glad I did! My 9yr old son & I play this fairly often. We collect comics and video games. And this game has a comic cmoming to life feel to it for sure! It's great cause it's a comicbook game, based on the comics, not a movie about a comicbook. Highly recommend this to anyone out there that collects old school and current game systems. Beware of Red Skull....Somehow that dude is on some Bruce Lee s***. ha ha!
This is still 1 of my favorite games.
What else is there to say: If you don't like blood, DON'T GET THIS GAME, it's right up there with Kingpin level on the gore factor. Also, don't expect much replay value, like most regular shootem up's (not including Half-Life) once it's beat, it's shelfed.
5820 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Pharaoh is a city building game (like SimCity), but set in Egypt, during the pre-dynastic period. You start by building a settlement, addressing basic needs and continue onward. Unlike SimCity, there are various goals to hit such as population goals.
Anyways, I said goodbye to Yoshi yesterday. I slammed the door in Lara Croft's face. Then, I shut the windows, locked the door, and turned my Dreamcast on...
Do yuo have this game?
The game boasts seven different main characters, all with their own backgrounds and skills. You can play the game as any one of them, while meeting the rest along the way. The problem is that all the intertwining story-lines get so crosswired that after a while you don't remember who's character you are really playing, and what your original goal was.
6637 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 Holy fat mama! This game was the most hideous thing I have ever played. Not only is it easier than the TV show, its twice as dumb! The first and second questions I was asked the first time I played were the same stinkin' question. From the third game on, I never went without a repeat question. You should stay away from this. It will probably eventually drive you insane by the low-fi sound clip of Regis saying "Final Answer?" anyways. Try some of the not-as-pathetic games by eXpert software. Such as extreme paintball, deer hunter, and other quickly thrown together titles. It gets a second star for being functional (barely)
DKC's graphics were incredible on the Super Nintendo. The game almost looked like the characters came from a CGI movie. At least, at its time. Even the backgrounds had tons of details and neat movements.
Anyway, this is it. The first "Tomb Raider" game. It has classic written all over it. Despite being dated, and encountering countless predecessors, sequels and dissapointing movies the game manages to have to a strong following and is considered to best game of them all.
4060 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Roller Coaster Tycoon is a game that is focusing on building an entertainment park. You can build your own themed park, rollercoaster, go-kart track, and many more. This game is released years ago and now the price has been dropped. Being low-priced doesn't always mean bad games. I played this game for months a few years ago. It has free mode where you can build your own dream entertainment park. Or you can play in mission mode in which you have to meet the requirements for each level.
3394 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The good: great game library, the physical design of the machine is ace, graphics on the machine are generally quite nice, 4 player support, VGA output.
7083 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I loved this game as a kid, so when I had the chance to get it later in life, I just had to. Classic Bond shoot em up.
(p.s. How in the world does this game maintain a 4-star review rating average when I know for a fact that I read at least a dozen 1-star reviews?)
The CONS: Unfortunately, this is not one of the better SW games available for the N64 for several reasons. This game was part of the first generation of games for the N64 and it shows. The graphics did not age so well and back in 1996 , they were horrible. Super Mario 64 was a launch title and it had way better graphics. Here, the game gets choppy when there's a lot of action, the frame rate dips every so often and there is lots of "pop up" scenery and dense fog (to cover up areas that don't have any animation.) The controls are no better than the ones in the PS title "Tomb Raider". Your character controls like a robot, aiming is a chore to do and the game has horrible collision detection. Add in the platform elements where you have to jump in certain areas and either you end up dying or trying to jump again because the jump button doesn't respond until a full second AFTER you press it. On top of all that, the game's difficulty is pretty unforgiving. Even if you set in on "easy", the enemies are still pretty tough and sometimes you have no idea if your weapons have an effect on whoever you are shooting at.
1) Graphics. With consoles now like the 360 sporting games like Halo: Reach, and the PS3 with the Uncharted series, there is some serious competition for artwork and graphics. But the Ocarina is still more mesmerizing. Yes, the landscape does not extend forever into the distance, and yes, the polygons making up the characters are obvious, but the lines created are more pleasing than any Zelda since, and the colors blend and contrast perfectly. From Mount Doom to lake Hylia, the imaginary world and its inhabitants draw you in, and within a few deceptively short hours, you cannot look away. "Graphics," as thought of today, with rocks crumbling and wood splintering when bullets strike, do not exist. But they don't need to. Even the most obbsessed lover of graphics will forget their obsession as they get lost in this games beautiful, open world. If you love the huge open maps of Fable 2, or the sprawling cities of Assassin's Creed, you will love this.
Here's the story of EA's "Darklight Conflict": You are a Top Gun pilot in the middle of a dogfight when suddenly a beam of light surrounds you. When you awake, you are in a completely foreign environment. You realize your arms and legs have been replaced with some kind of tentacles that are biologically grafted to what appears as the console of a space vehicle. A voice speaks in English to you, but it is not the voice of any human. You have been inducted into the army of an alien race in the midst of interplanetary war to help defend their losing side, which is why they recruited you with your expert fighter pilot experience. Their vessels are signified by a symbol, a four-fingered hand. At first, you will begin with training. The small fighterships are oval, with fins protruding from what could be their sides. The weaponry is a variety involving weird plasma cannons. Your ship uses an electromagnetic field to shield itself, but it consumes a great deal of energy. You venture through the wormhole warps, and should carefully avoid the radiation waves that usurp your vessel energy during the travel.
However, enough comparisons to the horror-king series, because this game is neither better nor worse. This game is simply different. Your hero isn't a cop, and the disaster is much more philosophical and fantastic than scientific, which isn't just Resident Evil, but also Parasite Eve. This isn't as much X-Files as it is the Twighlight Zone.
145 Video_Games_5 NEG 2.0 I enjoyed the first Hawx game. However they left out some key things in Hawx 2
Excellent game, and like other board games that translate to computer, a must have and great fun
5192 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 In many ways I always liked playing the original Playstation since the amount of games that were must-plays to the undiscovered gems always seemed plentiful so you never felt like you didn't buy a machine for at most, 5 or 6 games. Metal Gear Solid was quite a fun and intriguing release and it brought a more cinematic telling into the stories and although short and plotwise it can get into philosophy-speak a bit too often (though at least it's easier to swallow than Sons of Liberty), it was still one of the more unique play experiences found on the console.
Sounds: The game does have enough sound effects to convince you that it takes place in an underground dungeon. However, the best sounds are the voice acting, which is top-knotch all the way around. The narrator is both sinister and hilarious, and the enemy heroes are over-the-top in their arrogant, dismissive attitudes toward evil. The music is okay, but not particularly gripping.
Snowboard Kids 2
8216 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Long ago in England, there tells the story of a deformed monster born in the Barrows castle and grew up to be a mass murdering cretin named Scissorman who uses a giant pair of scissors for weapons. Years later in 1995 Norway, a family in a mansion was brutally murdered by the Scissorman and a few witnesses like 15 year old Jennifer and Edward who were traumatized by the murders a year before. Jennifer with a few other people like Nolan Campbell who is a reporter and Assistant Inspector Stan Gotts are running from their lives from the insidious slow-witted maniac. From Norway to England, they all join together to find out the mystery and how to destroy scissorman.
5482 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 Looking for rise off of naked blue men with green capes reminding you of your hero to save you. Well this game is for you. I first got introduced by one of my friends I mean an acquaintance. His favorite games soon showed me that he really wasn't all that bright. He said (In a gay womenly voice) "Hey try this game out." So I said hey what the hell. As I took it home I hid it away so no one would see it. So I popped it into my Playstation and even it rejected it. So after a couple of trys it finally ran. So the title screen appeared...I never knew this was an alien/vampire porno flick. The idea of impailing naked green "Slaughs" as their called in the game isn't my idea of a thrill. After killing them their balls shoot out numbing the mind into thinking why the main character would have to eat them to gain energy. Wow now I know im scared. Then the mysteriousnes of tredding through the two mystical worlds (one retarted...another more retarted) is as amazing as tredding through a piece of sh*t. Answer me this: If a vampire/gay alien, has his mouth ripped off how can he eat balls or talk? Its amazing!! "Feed on the balls of your enemies" "Explore the vast pieces of crap and an extra bonus its a ball buffet!!" The main character is not only a gay alien but is supposedly a vampire. His arch enemy is another vampire but is about...I don't know a billion times better then him (Just a rough estimate). The most amazing complex part of the gameplay is his amazing three hit combo. WOW THREE HITS!! Then press x to dodge/lunge and triangle to impale. Oh the complexity. My mind strains over this sh*t. Well if you like to get off to blue alien like men...Go for but I suggest you don't waist your money.
[May 9, 1999. An article originally written for NintendoLand.com. I've written four released articles and one unreleased article (dealing with SMB 2). It will have to be edited. Also, perhaps incorporating part of the structural symmetry article.]
KI plays foremost like Street Fighter, with a dash of the extreme violence of Mortal Kombat. What makes it stand out is the combo system, which delivers ridiculous amounts of damage in flashy style. The whole package is delivered in Donkey Kong Country-style rendered graphics and a cd-quality soundtrack based in eurobeats (a music cd came packed in with original versions).
Note that DualShock 2 controllers will not work on original PSX hardware - but these will work on PS2 hardware (albeit without the pressure sensitive buttons).
As for the bad camera angles, they had to stay in the game. To build in a moving camera would have destroyed the game. I tell you now, there is something creepy about hearing the patter of zombie feet, know they are out there, and just not know where they are. If not for the useable, venerable auto-aim function, I too would have screamed every time I ran headlong into the arms of a zombie. As it is...The unseen Giant spider is my personal bane.
6787 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I own this game on the Xbox 360 I had a good experience with this product i can not get the chaos emerald on this game
8310 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is a good clasic game for snes. its pretty hard actually infact I think that X5 may be easyer then X1. but downsides are u cant duck or dash in the air witch makes some parts hard. so if your looking for a challeng get this game its fun and its a good collectible. the final boss isn't that hard but takes a few tryes. now you can only be X theres no Zero and no saber. so if you like Zero so much don't get this game get X5 instead. this is the 1st megaman game i've ever played so it was realy hard. but to a guy thats bin playing megaman games for a long time its not so hard. so wat more can I say besides JUST GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6984 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 As a package, SFR is one of the best arcade conversions ever -- plus a lot more for the home player. The programmer, Ed Logg, is a prince of the arcades. His previous games include Asteroids, Centipede, Gauntlet, Steel Talons, Hard Drivin', and the original San Francisco Rush. I'd love to see more of this kind of work on the more recent consoles.
There is a reason Soul Calibur has the reputation that it doesn 12 years later. The game is simply stellar. It has aged rather gracefully and is the best game on the DC. The game is also available through Xbox live for $10 but omits the mission mode and has everything already unlocked. This is truly the version to get if you want to fully experience the games as it was intended by Namco. I highly reccomend this game as one of the greatest games ever made.
*Lots of missions to keep a single player busy, while not around friends.
508 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is very fun. I have only played a demo that my cousin has but I'm dying to pick up a copy. The demo is short and we like to come up with different themes to it like we're going to a party at the building at the end of the demo. This game is kind of funny. Some of the enemies are pure fools. I like to run around the van with them chasing. Then I turn around and and knock the crud out of them. I like the guns and sticks that you can pick up and when you run out of ammo you can throw your gun at the enemies. That's pretty funny too. The characters have awesome moves. I love fighting games and this is one of my favorites. If you like fighting games and games that are just plain fun, buy this game.
Likewise, when answering questions in the "hot seat", you don't really get the "Is that your final answer?" prompting in a consistent way. Only some of the questions allow for it.
2447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Growing up as a Super Smash Brothers fan, I played this game with my brother and sister for hours on end. It is so fun and the gameplay is simple too. Even though this game is older, the graphics are still really really good. In my opinion, this is a must have classic because of its huge impact on the gaming community. Anyone who played this growing up knows how special this game is. And it REALLY is.
6983 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I think this game is a fun game. There is cool shortcuts through

Of course, AoE had it's faults: bad AI pathfinding, not enough distinction between the different cultures (every culture had the same vocal cues, BIG no-no), some others.

Mario and Luigi team up with some Yoshis to get through 74 levels in 8 different worlds to save Dinosaur Land.
-the cutscenes look horrible even the ingameplay is better then the cutscenes
The video game industry is an industry--it exists to make money. If a publisher puts out a game that makes money but isn't strictly a videogame, they WILL do it. What was Square's motivation when they developed this game? Tell a story? Let players express themselves through cunning materia strategies and complex boss fights and complex dungeons? Something else? I don't know.
Darkstone gives you two characters, one of which will contribute to battles when you're controlling the other, it can be a fun game for a younger child (who wouldn't be able to play Diablo). Even if he can't click fast enough to kill the monsters, he'll have backup. Also, the shops use pictures of items, which means a child who can't read or is just learning can still play, if he knows his numbers. The game generally seems less spooky and bloody.
The PlayStation 2 was weaker in every way, the ONLY reason it won out over the Dreamcast is the Dreamcast was poorly promoted and had no hype to back it up. Sony used a nasty strategy to wipe out the Dreamcast, they said it would be WAAAAAAY more powerful, it turned out to be slightly WEAKER then the Dreamcast... But little 9-year-old Timmy gets "HOLY CRAP POWER" stuck in his head and he's going to want a Playstation 2.
You can change your character's outfits by tapping the four C Buttons at the character select screen. Some costume changes are limited to colors, but characters like Pikachu are also available with a hat.
Combat consistis of clicking your mouse button in timed bursts or uning an asinine keybord interface to swing your weapon in three different strengths. Whee.
2524 Video_Games_5 NEG 1.0 came broken don't buy from coffiehollic
6006 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 If you were a fan of the original, you don't need me telling you to buy it (you probably already have it!). If your new to Diablo, or if this genre of game is not your thing, you may find the graphics a little substandard. Don't get me wrong, its a good looking game. But if your used to the 3D accelerated hi-res graphics of some of the first person shooters out there, this will look "different" in a way that might be interpreted as "low-res".
4315 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 When I first started playing this game, I was awestruck by the amazing graphics. I installed it, everything ran smoothly, and even though the tutorial level was extremely long, I didn't tire of it simply because everything was so impressive looking, even at the meager 640x480 res I started at.
Replay value? It skyrockets. There are five characters to play as, all with their own stories and objectives. The game doesn't end after each character has been completed. Instead, one more character is introduced, one that has been in every Sonic game to date. Can you guess his name? The first word rhymes with "cooper." 5 out of 5 for replay.
9913 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Apart from what has already been mentioned about this game you also shake trees to get items you need along the way but sometimes get an old tire or garbage can that will hit you in the head if you are not careful. There are places in the game where you must fly up on a balloon. Many fun areas to explore including under water. The graphics are nice and the controls are smooth. You have a choice to play as Toejam or Earl. You will laugh instead of tear your hair out. VERY unique and enjoyable game!!!Not too many of those around nowadays.
2104 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Following the popularity of Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter is a game that stands up very well on its own. It has enough that is different that it can be considered a very good game in its own right. SF has a very nice blend of shoot-em-up and stealth missions that it is never the same thing over and over. However, it does find a few things lacking. The save system is horrendous. You can only save at points that are very far apart. The checkpoint system which allows you to restart at the last checkpoint helps this a little, but being able to save a checkpoints would have made this game much better. Also, some scenarios are very difficult, especially if you've been playing it through and miss one detail. Most likely, it's a detail that you will miss everytime, which can make a few missions very frustrating. The cut scenes are good and the game control is good. The wide variety of weapons is very interesting as well. All in all, this is a very good game marred by a very few flaws.
1444 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Super Mario 64, is a Classic pure and simple. And, there's not much else I can say. It's a really good game, With alot of stuff that's fun to come back and do.

7051 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game basicly goes like this. There are 6 worlds, two of which you have to unlock first. So you start out with 4 worlds, a grassy world, a lava world, a water world, and the icy world. There's no order on how you go to the worlds so you pick which world you go to. Each world has 4 levels level 1 is a normal stage level 2 is a semi boss stage level 3 is like level 1 but it's bigger and more complex and level 4 is the boss of the world. Once you beat the boss you beat the world. Beat all 4 of em to unlock the 5th world the Fortress. Once you get all the gold cards you get a new world I like to call the rainbow world;).
4980 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Silent Hill is a legendary horror game. I remember the first time playing it and not knowing what to expect. It was frightening. If a nightmare could be captured and put into a game, this would be it. Silent Hill is about a man named, Harry Mason, who is looking for his missing young daughter in a mysterious, foggy town called, Silent Hill. And everything gets more nightmarish as he continues his search. The graphics, monsters, soundtrack, and atmosphere of Silent Hill is great for an older game and makes for a truly scary experience.
First off, the presentation is top-notch. You are treated to a couple 3D-animated FMV cutscenes. And then, BAM! As soon as the level begins, you wander at the amazingly colorful graphics, catchy lighthearted music, and as you start playing, the gameplay will get you hooked.
Aside from the annoying dialogue, and it is very annoying, the rest of the game rocks. The way spells are cast is interesting and different from normal games where scrolls are memorized or written in a magic book. The melee combat is good because your character has 4 different attacks instead of the one slash attack in Diablo 2. Granted he can't learn a whirlwind attack or leap attack but who cares? That's not realistic anyway.
Also while the backgrounds and static images or animations are incredible Westwood made a compromise and decided to reduce the resolution of the items that are more dynamic so more people with "average" systems at the time could enjoy the game. The end result is you are a very pixelated character and the characters you interact with are just as pixellated. While shading is not too bad on your pixelled self any time you compare with the backgrounds the difference is painfully obvious.
64 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is an awesome set of deluxe The Legend of Zelda video game guides. The box it came in is just great and I'm so happy they took the time to add to some of the books. While I did have some of these books already, the new and thicker Skyward Sword guide is really top notch.
Bad
The game was unduly hard due to the overhaul of the game's engine. Back then, games overloaded easily especially if they were not rendered correctly. The load times on this game tell you there's a lot of extra space here. An obvious pitfall is when there are many enemies/items on the screen it evokes slow command response but ONLY from players' controllers (remember trying to grab a guy and your player executes an 'air grab' 1 second after you press the button?). This resulted in getting beat up from 5 or more directions and having a briefcase hurled at your head. Not fun. Items were also a bother as you found that punching a guy mysteriously involved you picking up a crate first. Then you got kicked in the shin and you dropped the crate as two more guys fired shots at you and you're spinning through the air. Fun! Yet when you want to pull a pole off the wall you instead invoke a reverse backhand that misses and makes you look like an idiot. And for that ugly move sir you get a pipe to the face.
-Thanks
The Sonic level's, which should have been the entire game, are plagued with a broken camera (it was on crack, sometimes it would focus inside a wall) and bugs. The boss battles are way to easy, and when you started to pick up speed I felt like the game was playing itself (I tried to fail on the whale level and it was impossible). Plus the sonic story is super short. I didn't really like the other game stories.
Appearance
8025 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The game is great! A classic! I could play it over and over again and never get sick to it.
True, they also won't win any points for originality... all though there are a number of game play innovations that I hope the staff at Diablo II won't ignore(upgrading weapons, skills, better mapping, running, and that feature that autopilots you to certain places you've been before). Single player was fun- featuring the ability to use two characters, but as with almost games I play nowadays- multiplayer is what I care about. And with two good friends- We had quite a blast romping through the dungeons at Heat.net, all though its difficult to get a game going there as it hasn't achieved a high level of popularity. What made it even better was that the three of us were using Roger Wilco to communicate. It felt like we were in our High school Dungeons and Dragons days even though we were in different states.
Go to zone.msn.com..... Click Sign In. If needed, get a free MSN passport. Next, in the games list, click Age of Empires II. It will ask to install the MSN Gaming Zone. Click yes. After it's done, click Age of Empires II. Select a game room (I preffer Hunt the Royal) and you'll see big icons for various games. Click Join on one game room. When the host is ready, the game will be launched, and you'll be ready for some fun. *Make sure you have Age Of Empires II in the CD-ROM drive when you go to the Game Zone! Happy conquering!
There are a couple of downsides though. These games are really tough, maybe too tough for the average gamer or especially child. Some of this is intentional design and some I feel maybe the fact that 3D platforming was in it's infancy at this time. Some of the angles on jumps, just seem a little off. The perspective can make it really tricky. Another problem is that the save points can be a little far between. Not the check points during the levels, they are plentiful and life saving, but the save points. Sometimes, I just wanted to finish a level I'd been on for a while, save and quit. But then I'd find that I had to go through another whole level and a half, just to get the bonus round/save point. And even the bonus round was tricky sometimes as it's set up as a mini level requiring you to get from one side to the other but if you fell along the way, you'd have to restart the level to get back to it. Again, more challenge and patience testing. My final complaint is that sometimes you'd have a nice number of lives you've accumulated from previous levels, say 20 or so, you save, come back and you only start with 4!!! I want my lives, I earned them!!! On a final note, I downloaded Crash on my PS3 but cant save as it wont, even though PS2 games do, so I have to use passwords. It's a little annoying but if they didn't provide them, then I'd really never be able to save.
6291 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 My current RPG is Planescape Torment. Black Isle studios release from a couple of years back. Developed primarly using Direct X functions, this game is similar to their other games that they have released, which take advantage of different aspects of TSR's universe.
I'll recommend this to anyone who's enjoying classic games or is a street fighter fan,,, or to anyone who likes fighting games.
Incidentally, this game is still incredibly popular in South Korea, with the top professional players earning hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. It is primarily due to the enthusiasm of the Koreans that this game has had its amazing longevity. Not only has their support kept this game on the international gaming stage, but has allowed professional players to develop new and innovative strategies. As a result, it's impossible to ever master this game. There's always something to improve on, and better players to compete with - which are both marks of a truly great game. Even though casual players will never directly interact with the top professional players, the pros keep the game fresh and exciting for everyone.
One of the limited exceptions to this rule has been Pac-Man. The worlds first video game character (not counting faceless space ships and tanks), he beat Mario to the sidescroller in Pac-Land, and stared in two adventure games of his own in the SNES days, Pac-Man 2 the New Adventures and Pac in Time. So when the gaming world went 3D in the late 1990's/early 2000's he was primed and ready to make the switch as well.
FInal Fantasy 7 starts off like an action movie might. You control Cloud Strife, an ex-soldier (equivelent to the NAvy Seals) who is now a mercenary for hire. He is currently working for the terrorist organization known as Avalanche ran by Barrett, a big burly black man with a chaingun for a hand. His second in command is a girl named Tifa who was a childhood friend of clouds. After a few succesful missions cloud is seperated from the team where he meets up with a young girl named Aeris. Little does cloud realize at first is that Aeris is beign pursued by the conglomerate Shinra (Shinra is what Avalanche is trying to bring down.). CLoud decideds to help her out but when she is kidnapped he must rescue her. MEanwhile a ghost from the past returns to not only haunt him, but destroy the world.
THE BAD
Since it came out near the end of the Super NES (at least in America, anyway), this game is very hard to find. Nevertheless, it is WELL WORTH YOUR TIME. The music is very good, the characters and story well developed, and the OldSkool-style battle system is very pleasing indeed. Plus, Mario and Bowser actually fight side-by-side.
6297 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I decided to buy an old N64 recently even though the majority of official Nintendo Games can be bought for the Wii and Wii U's virtual consoles. I have gotten back into the Mario Party series and used to own Mario Party 1 for my old N64 which I sadly sold, so I decided, being the collector that I am, to purchase an old N64, games, and paraphernalia.
If you want to play this only for the story, you won't be impressed. If you're wondering about the gameplay, it's an action RPG very similar to Secret of Mana (and no, it's not a sequel to that game). This game is all about feeling lost and exploring the world at hand. If you play this game with that in mind you will have a much better experience.

3109 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Final Fantasy 7, is one of those games that deals with a variety of aspects, instead of just focusing on one. It may seem to have just your simple everyday theme, of an average game. Once you get to actually playing the game, and beating it, you will understand what the whole concept of this game is about. It is more than just a battle of good and evil... it deals with what certain characters are going through at a time of crisis...
WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
1329 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Amazing game. Somewhat easy with a rather sharp difficulty spike at the end, but overall enjoyable.
7. Great two player mode.
First, play Half-Life. Actually, this game won't even run without it so you don't have much of a choice.
3026 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 ...the artwork is bad...there...I've said it...
The game, even when played today still shows it's greatness. I've logged probably more then 1000 hours of gametime playing X-Com and it's many sequels over the years since it first released and the gameplay still amazes me.
Graphics:8 THe games graphics are pretty good. It may not have the best graphics but O.K.
Final Fantasy VII has a long history behind it. FF7 was planned, first, as a new game for the SNES and was quickly moved to Nintendo's new system at the time, the Nintendo 64. Due to lack of catridge storage capacity, it eventually led to a dispute between Nintendo and Square that resulted in Square ending its long relationship with Nintendo. Square decided, from that point, to release Final Fantasy VII for the Sony Playstation. The game has went on to sell well over 9.8 Million copies worldwide. It's spawned a series of other games under the FF7 name but none have quite reached the status that the original has. A remake has been rumored for quite some time now but, as of yet, no remake has been produced by Square. My opinion on the remake or lack thereof? Well, considering at to how they made a killing on fans buying the first game when it came out, it's almost guaranteed that they would make a killing a second time. I don't understand why they won't give the fans what they want. They'd come out alot better because of it. It would, definitely, put them back on top as the leader of RPGs..to be sure. Course, enough on the subject, right?

The great thing about the game it lets you play in two modes. You can choose to have the battles decided in quick combat which is similar to Civilization games where you are just in charge of choosing what units to build and sending them off to battle. You can also choose the strategic combat mode where every battle is fought on the strategic map and you take control of every unit.
1433 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Mario series from Nintendo has consistently produced games that are refreshing and innovative, not to mention extremely addictive and fun to play. First there was the original Super Mario Brothers and Super Matio Brothers 3 for the NES, to Super Mario World for the SNES, and now Super Mario 64 for the N64. The game is 5 years old now, but it's still just as fun to play as ever. The graphics and sound make excellent use of the N64's capabilities to create a 3D world that was just jaw-dropping in 1996 and is still pretty awesome today.
Wrestling games of today are having the same issues.
Limited Edition colors
Gameplay 10/10
9845 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I was actually trying to go and get this earlier, but I used up my Amazon money for other games and stuff. And now that it's 3DS e-Shop re-release is available on Club Nintendo for only 100 coins (If you don't know about Club Nintendo, I suggest you join and see what it's about. It's a great service), I was able to go and nab this classic at ease.
OVerall, this game is great for having fun. I reccommend it to any one. Great for technology too. This game is right for you.
It's great to play it on it's original format.
Some people were annoyed by the "voices".
1359 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This work, no problem at all and appreciated it. Lots of fun, peoples love playing the game all together. Woohoo!
Yes, it's probably going to be difficult at times, however, not impossible, just challenging. Believe me, having the challenge is totally worth it.
Control: 8.5/10. Being an adventure game, there are a lot of different controls for a lot of different moves. And since the N64 controller is the way it is ( pretty annoying ) it's easy to get confused even after playing for hours on end, just because you go brain dead. The controls are a bit strange at first to do some of the attacks, but you will get used to them anyways.
When playing as Marina (which is usually the case except for the two-or-so levels you play as Clancer), you "attack" your enemies by grabbing and then throwing them. You can throw them in one of eight different directions, but it's usually a good idea to act like a school bully and shake them first to relieve them of any gems they may be carrying. You can shake and throw friendly characters too if you feel like being a jerk; they don't seem to care anyway. In fact, Marina likes to throw her creator every time she rescues him, but that's probably because he looks like he's about to cop a feel when he tells her how glad he is to see her.
5500 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 One of the best games ever to play against your friends. A top five game as far as the n64 was concerned. Its a game hat changes the football rules slightly while still holding the integrity of what the sport is. Just incredible as far as the fun factor goes. Definately a game that makes pulling the n64 out of the closet. Five stars all the way!
4548 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 great
I love this game so much, and am so dedicated from all these years, I could go into a boss battle stripped of all materia and weapons and armor and not take a hit....and win the battle with ease. 255 Luck evades all enemy hits on me.... 255 Strength guarantees a hell of a hit on the enemy in retaliation for even thinking they can touch me. Not to mention the 255 Speed....allowing me to get in sometimes 2 or 3 hits on the enemy before they can even notice who just killed their pathetic a$$....hehe
Claire Redfield is looking for her brother Chris Redfield. Chris led the S.T.A.R.S. team into the Mansion on the original game. Claire finds herself trapped in Raccoon City with tons of zombies and other strange creatures. Leon Kennedy, a brand new S.T.A.R.S. member, also finds himself deep in the city on his first day on the job. They meet up and go to the Raccoon City Police Department to escape the zombies. Little do they know, the zombies are there as well. They split up and look for survivors and then try to escape the city together. Each character meets interesting people on their way to escaping the city and on the way learns about what happened to the city.
7148 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 With a game made by the same developers as Goldeneye 007 for N64, it is nearly impossible to go wrong. Perfect Dark does not disappoint. In fact, I am going to go out on a limb and say that Perfect Dark is better than Goldeneye, here is why...
8221 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 I love survival horror games, and well,I wouldnt say that Clock tower is like resident evil, or whatever else,because its just original in its own way. This game is something quest-action horror game,close to reality, the character doesnt run around the house with a big bunch of shotguns/rocket launchers, but just acts as any of you would act- hide from the follower, or use what comes to your mind to stop him. The follower in this game is a bad guy?creature(not gonna spoil that for you) with a giant pair of scissors;)A must try for a horror fan. The only bad thing in it Id say- the long conversations between parts of the game, which you cant skip and they really bore me when I play it again and again=)))
5941 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 there have been many trys by different developers to copy the play style of diablo 2. they are no doubt good but they are NOT diablo 2. diablo 2 has the best story, fun factor, sound, cinematics, addictiveness and replayability. i stopped playing this a long time ago because i was hooked on starcraft but i am going to start a new character tonight just to see how fun this game is again. my previous barbarian only got up to lvl 46. i've been playin WoW and have a lvl 60 alliance human paladin but there is not nearly as much loot as there is in diablo 2, thus making many characters look the same. (to the post below- all mmorpgs require a fee to play...its what basically gets them paid to make updates, fix the servers, etc.) cant wait to start diablo 2 again!
734 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 glad to have it for my own after all these years
So, those are all the improvements and flaws. As you can see, better the the 1st game, by far.
I am still a huge fan of Blood Money. The fact that you can now play it again online for free is a huge plus! To play, all you have to do is watch a 30-second ad on mute and you get sufficient time to play a level. Who can complain about that? But this, what took them so long to produce a bad cousin of Metal Gear Solid?!
8149 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Each Mario game Nintendo puts out is a solid 9/10 or above rated game. I bought this game back when the SNES came out and couldn't put it down. I have lots of good memories playing this game, and now it's out for the Wii's Virtual Console. Even better!
Not many demo disks
Nothing.

897 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 I really love this game that is quite similar in concept to Super Mario 64. Though it is a lot simpler than its successor Banjo Tooie (in that one there are many types of eggs plus you can change characters) but it is a lot more fun. The successor had a lot more dialog that you had to wade through.
2650 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Alpha 3 has a roster that will take you months to master each character. I haven't seen so many Street Fighter characters (31) in one game before for the PS and PS2. The unique feature of this game is the ISM system where you can choose which finisher move you want. The best feature is the World Tour which is practically a Street Fighter RPG (why can't the new Street Fighter games have this?!) where you level up your character as you win matches.
8273 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This was the only megaman x game my family owned for some time I had a good experience with this product
8615 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Excellent game! I owned it years ago and I wanted the memories again. It is fun and family friendly! I
2724 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Omg I waited for so long to play this game on the best Nintendo console ever, and what can I say I am stunned on how good this game is. this games is the best Nintendo 64 game I played. the story is abosultly great and so much more complex and well written than Star Fox 64's story with the multiple paths and multiple endings. In this game you fly through rings, and throw a car or two, fly through more rings and more rings. its completely accurate to the comic book series Superman: Super S***. Next is the graphics and I must say I'm really impressed if i put on a screen next to another screen with Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 I can't tell the difference. Lastly is the game play. the controls are so stiff and unresponsive, they're just so great just like Banjo Kazooie and Super Mario 64. I always find myself coming back for more and more on this game because of how good it is. No other game can come close to being this good. Its no doubt that this game is better than the Mario games, Body Harvest, Sin And Punishment, Diddy Kong Racing and so many more other Nintendo 64 games. this game gets a 10 out of 10.
Some nice locales and some plain looking locales. While the lighting (outside of battle), special effects (in battle), and monsters (in battle) appear quite nice; however, the characters have few frames of animation and don't have much detail.
Enjoy.
you in battle, and if you don't particularly like how a certain character
This is possibly the worst Mortal Kombat game.
3799 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 If you've ever played a Mega Man game,like me,you'll probably enjoy this. It's one good game. This is the plot:Tron's brother Teisel,has borrowed one million zenny(that's what money is called in case you didn't know)to work on the new ship Gesselchaft. He says he'll have to work hard to get it back,so he sets course for the ruins of Nakkai and a robot. When he gets to the ruins,he is taken away,so Tron and her adorable little Servbots intend to get

*In all previous Zelda games, the end dungeon was in the mountains. This is the first game in the series to break that trend. The first three (Zelda I, II, and LTTP) their dungeon was in Death Mountain. Link's Awakening, Link's only Game Boy adventure (currently) is in Tal Tal Mountains. At least we have something that broke one of the several trends running thru this classic series.
6818 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 The Good: Fast paced 2D action, great level design, amazing music
The story is not the greatest, but it held my intrest when I first played FF7. You never really take it seriously until one of your party members is killed 1/3 way in the game. The true enemy of this game is a cold blooded man with destruction and death left in his wake. The corporate enemy is nothing more than sidetracking cannon fodder for you to level up with. I guarentee a sense of satisfaction when finally putting the last boss away,for anything else, just for revenge would be motive enough. All charachter development is well done but a little awkward at times. Trying to make this story serious and funny at the same time, often leaves players wondering where the story is headed. For the most part, no complaints about the story. It's told with the player in mind. Trying to find a way to connect with the player.
9737 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 After recently getting Twisted Metal Head-On Extra Twisted Edition, I decided to go back and check out the older Twisted Metal games. In this case, Twisted Metal 4. While I agree with the majority that 989 Studios brought down the Twisted Metal series to some degree, it's saving grace was Twisted Metal 4. 989 Studios did try to rectify what they did wrong in Twsted Metal III by making more hidden areas than in the previous games, sharpening up the look of the game, bringing new characters to the fold(although some are downright forgettable), and improving the control of the game. It is, however, still too easy to flip over in the game--which was downright annoying in TM III or to miss a landing and whatnot. The soundtrack in the game is awesome with appearances by Rob Zombie, Cypress Hill, Cirrus and Skold. The create-a-car option is a good start but I agree with most that more variety in this area would've made a huge difference. In some respects, this game was refreshing due to its' new take on the series. It is a solid & fun game...alot more so than Twisted Metal III. Yet, still is an easily forgettable game in the series. I can only recommend this as a rental, at best.
By Far one of the best SNES games besides Super Metroid...If you have an SNES then get games like
Eclipsing Resident Evil and all other competitors in terms of scares, character development and sophistication, Silent Hill, upon its release in 1999, was unfairly ignored by the general public, even though critics were highly impressed with its blend of psychological method-scares and real-time environments. The public, used to zombie dogs bursting through windows and super-sharp pre-rendered backdrops, couldn't seem to get into a foggy real-time atmosphere where what you heard was scarier than what you saw. However, thanks in no small part to it's sequels (the standard-setting Silent Hill 2, and the graphically amazing, slightly hollow SIlent Hill 3), the original Silent Hill now enjoys something of a Classic status, and I have to say, it's very well-deserved.
7274 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 The problem with this game is that it gets boring. Much like Jet Force Gemini there is too much collecting to be done. Plus, later levels suffer from camera problems.
Overall: Despite the poor quality textures and dumbed down level architecture, Quake for the N64 is a great old-school FPS experience. So, if you like games like DOOM, definitely pick this one up! It is more than worth $3 you can get it for here at Amazon.
This 10 year old game is still a blast to play. If you have an old PS you can play this game on, I suggest you do so. If not, push Sony's Online store to release this for your PS3 or PSP. You'll be glad you did.
8267 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 R-Type, Gradius, Raiden, 19**whatever; Square looked around at the landscape and said,"The world has room for one more scrolling shooter". So they made Einhander. This game gave all the previously a fore mentioned games a run for their money. Well done graphics, solid controls, spot on hit detection and a sharp soundtrack make this title a wonder of the PSX era. A second player option would have been nice. I have always felt that this doesn't get the hype it deserved. It was Square's finest non RPG title. Not to mix apples and oranges but I thought Einhander had a better story than Final Fantasy 7-10. I don't know what that is but the stories to the recent FF games are always a mess. I also give this title props for not resorting to lame Final Fantasy character crossovers to cover for weakspots within the title, as there are no weakspots found in Einhander.
The controls are very good.
Story/Originality: 9/10
That is why we bought Extreme G for the N64. October 1997. The end of a great summer playing Golden Eye, you knew you needed a break and heard that the fastest game ever made was coming out on the N64 and so what did you get? EXTREME G racer. Great speed in this game. Nothing like it. However I played the most recent G racer on the PS2 recently and games like this are great but have had their day. The next best game to this in terms of speed fun is SSX 3 for the PS2. I turned to MOTO GP racer simulations now instead. MOTO GP 4 is out soon.
This game is just incredible. Please pick it up. You won't regret it! I've played Yoshi's Island a lot and, thanks to TONS of practice, I've become pretty good at it (I STILL can't get 100% in every level though, but that's a pretty difficult task). I have to say the final boss battle with Bowser simply blows my mind. I simply LOVE shooting eggs at him while having to jump around on tiny rocks. A fantastic battle.
Things in Sonic 2 that improved
I most certainly give this 5 stars for its story and its replay value
I enjoyed the music from this game, i still think it's one of the best ones Square did. Everything from the Bombing mission to Cid's theme this game has it done perfectly! Another good reason why Square wanted this game on the PlayStation, crystal clear stereo sound!
Nothing worked, compatibility, as admin, nothing, and little online about a fix. So I thought what the heck see if H1 will play. Sure did. Loaded fast with my i7 2600 and plays real smooth. I set the graphics so high it slowed me down trying to read the fine print on selected units and mouse over ID's. H2 played on my Vista but H1 was buggy but did play. Opposite now and H1 plays like a dream. Still looks good for it's age and still a a lot of fun. Still looks good period. Save a good 20-30 bucks and buy a sure fire winner like this.

8376 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 You are the T800 cyborg, and your mission is to first defend humans in a futuristic war, then go back in time, face off against the T1000 liquid metal unit and save John Conner. This is not your average shooter game, you must use the Super Scope 6 (the gun for SNES). The graphics are phenominal for the game and they come straight out of the arcade and the challenge is intense too, having to save humans as well as in some levels you must shoot cyborgs off of John Conner's truck without destroying the truck and fun levels where you just plane blow holes in the head of the T1000! Great game, normal players will not get too far though!
A very worthy classic. 4 1/2
7682 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This is the best game on the Snes I've ever played , it's a must have for all those old school hardcore games like me or even if your starting up a collection of Snes games this is a must have!!! Also if you know someone that loves Snes and old school games this is a perfect gift for him or her! 100% recommend to buy and begin a new journey with Link in Zelda a link to the past!!!
Now Sega has given up on their console and wants to make software for other companies. I believe that Sega owes it's gamers a little more loyalty than it has shown and I hope that the gaming community reacts by not purchasing Sega software for any platform. My investment in a PS/1 was good for 5 years. My Dreamcast lasted six months. Goodbye Sega purchases forever.
8247 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This game is one of my favorites. Four people can play at once, and the graphics are better than Crusi'n USA. For only (...), this is a great deal for any gamer that enjoys racing games. The control isn't very good, but everything else makes up for it. This is a great game, so buy it right away before N64 is gone!
818 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 great
6614 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 This collection brings back two of great classic Final Fantasy's. All though we all would have liked to see FF4 in this collection, that will have to wait for the next collection.

1507 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Haven't had a chance to extensively play it yet, but it arrived quickly and works well!
3447 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Let me just say that I have been a big fan of the series since the first one arrived on the playstation and this one does not disappoint. The game play is one of the most important parts in any game and this one is no exception and excels from the previous releases and adds new improvements to keep the game play from getting repetitive. The storyline is pretty good too but is mainly to expand the story of the events of resident evil 2, though there is a side story so to speak of jill trying to escape the current situation that she is in which is also a welcome edition. The graphics are some of the best seen on the playstation and the best out of any of the four resident evil game releases on the ps1, the sound is also good too. This is the first re game that never made it to the playstation greatest hits lineup, but don't let that fool you because it is still a great game and a worthy edition to the series. I have only one minor complaint though, the game is a little shorter than re2 in which I would have enjoyed the game more if it was longer, even though it is short it is also sweet. For anyone who cant understand or is confused with the storyline Ill explain: The commandos(one of many groups of rescue teams sent by umbrella) were there officially to rescue survivors, unofficially though the leader was there to keep umbrella up to date of the current situation in raccoon city and collect battle data specifically from the nemesis fighting the remaining s.t.a.r.s members. Nemesis was basically an improved version of the tyrant type 2 that was in resident evil 2 in which the first tyrant originated from resident evil 1, at this point in the game umbrella knew the current situation that was occurring in raccoon city via the leader of the commandos so the only option to cover up the incident in order to remain in business was to kill the remaining s.t.a.r.s members who held the only evidence linking this outbreak to umbrella, so they sent nemesis(an improved version of the tyrant and/or tyrant type 3) to assassinate the remaining st.a.r.s members thus destroying any evidence linking umbrella to the incident happening in raccoon city. Unbeknown to umbrella chris had already escaped before the outbreak occurred(as explained in re 2 when claire was surprised to not find chris in raccoon city, so if chris had any chance to take down umbrella he would have to not tell anyone when, where, or what he was going to do at that time). Eventually all of the main s.t.a.r.s members(barry, chris, jill) that escaped the mansion incident escaped raccoon city before it was destroyed. Eventually the remaining s.t.a.r.s members exposed umbrella putting them out of business, though people like wesker still exist to continue the work of umbrella for his own nefarious purpose. I am not really impressed with re 4 or from what I have played of re5 so far because they are just not as good as the re series used to be, this game on the other hand is a testament to the fact that you can still make vast improvements in the re series without sacrificing what made the re series so great in the first place. Sadly though I hardly recognize the re series today, it just went downhill since re4 was released because changes that were made negatively affected more than benefited the series imo. I just hope that capcom wakes up and brings the old school style resident evil flavor with improvements like re2, re3, and re:cvx did for the series in the future for the series.
Now, if you think that these otherworldly denizens are peaceful beings intent on fostering cross-dimensional love, or that your fellow human beings will enter the Black Mesa unarmed intent on warmly welcoming these beings to our world, I'm afraid you've picked up the wrong game entirely. For in the bowels of "Black Mesa" you'll confront howling dog things, flying crabs, alien-zombified versions of your colleagues, gigantic aliens that breathe fire through their fists, aliens that hang from ceilings (and entrap their victims using these vine-looking things) and squads of human special forces troops intent on killing everything that moves. If the above attracts you because you think it may be the setting that elevates the nobility of the human existence, I should warn you to look elsewhere - for in "Half Life", you'll find yourself acting indiscriminately with a 9mm automatic, a submachine gun, grenades and (most regrettably of all) a nasty crowbar; you'll make few friends and find yourself (for the most part) alone and (not infrequently) exiled to ventilation ducts (again with the ducts!!) to avoid getting shot at by humans, or burned, bitten, bolted or tongue-bathed by aliens. Complex problem solving skills (as much as marksmanship or bullet-saving) are crucial in this game - in which your enemies have above-average levels of AI. There are unfortunately times when a level may be hung up by the failure to achieve some specific mission-goal, but this is on the whole a game in which the goals are sufficiently complex to make you feel cool for achieving them, yet not so complex as to be impossible to solve. The settings are fantastic - from the vast to claustrophobic. The game is long - uncommitted gamers may find it tedious - but the scope of design here rewards those who keep up with it.
6127 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 This game is one of the original three pokemon games released. However, Pokemon Green version was only for the Japanese release. If you cannot read Japanese, it detracts a little from the game. However, I found that that did not bother me as much as it could have. Still an amazing Pokemon classic.

5009 Video_Games_5 POS 5.0 Wow... I was fourteen when I played this... 2004... sure, the PS2 was out for three years already and there were other scary games out at that time, but I was a little underprivilaged with my game systems. I had a PS1, and there were a SLEW of really good PS1 games out that I could afford. So I started my collection. I had played Syphon Filter once, so I thought I could handle everything. I went to a yard sale and saw this game sitting on a table for ten dollars. I thought, "Sure, I can handle this." The guy said, "It's really scary, are you sure?" He looked at my mother, then to me. I looked at my mother, then to the guy, and confidently said, "I can handle it. I've watched Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street," ect.... I was full of my teenage self. Well, we got home and I put this in my PS1. From the very instant I removed the CD and saw, in the case, to menacing eyes glaring at me, I knew something was up. I put in the game, saw the warning, thought, "Oh, it MAY contain graphic scenes? Big deal. It's like... melted lego block graphics. I can handle it."
8147 Video_Games_5 POS 4.0 Gex is in a line of three games where you take control of a gecko (who is voiced by the stand up comic Dana Gould). This was also one of the first games for the original PlayStation coming three months after the release.
Well, for starters, the gameplay continues to be great, with the player once again asked to recruit the 108 stars of destiny (along with a few extra characters, particularly if there exists save data from the original Suikoden!). The battles are fun, although a bit too numerous for my liking. The townbuilding section is more involved in the sequel, and the rewards are better (including an Iron Chef-type cookoff, and well as a whack-a-mole game, a dance contest, a dice game, and other goodies). There are quite a few optional quests, multiple endings
To complete the game, you must collect all eight gym badges. Gym badges are given to those who defeat gym owners. Gym owners are professional Pokemon trainers who are hardened by battle experience, and thus, much harder to defeat than normal Pokemon trainers. It takes a long time to collect the badges, because the gyms are sporodically spread throughout the game. Between collecting badges and training Pokemon, you will encounter many RPG elements in the game, puzzles, dungeons, items, etc... The game is huge and difficult and can take over 25 hours to complete. It certainly exceeds the expectations of a game merely designed to kill time on a long coach trip, which was what the GB was created for in the first place. Taking into account that the GB is a very primitive console, the kind of experience Pokemon offers exceeds all prior benchmarks in handheld gaming. It's an edifying experience.
Finally, to the card game: this is by far the deepest "minigame" in any RPG to date, and like it's been said before, it is better than some separate games. There's a slew of cards of various kinds, especially because you can turn any of the numerous monsters into a card with a special command. There are rare cards to be found. As you travel, you will wander into locales with different rules. It can seem overwhelming at first, and it probably is.

There are 3 different factions to play as: The Mercs, The Sea Reapers and the Giant Kabuto himself. With the Mercs, there are 5 guys, though you basically play as one of them with the other four tagging along and mimicking you -- there strength is in weapons and technology. The Sea Reaper is Delphi, a sort of mermaid like women with very strong magical powers. And Kabuto, who is raw strength and size.
