Freedom Fighters is a game that gets better the more you play it. The challenge increases at the same rate as your skills and abilities so that you're really appreciating the level of control you've got towards the end and the cool action you can create because of it. Obviously an online component would be a wonderful addition but for what it is Freedom Fighters is pretty satisfying. You just wish your running, gunning and commanding skills, once developed, could be applied in other ways against online competitors. This is especially poignant given the game's rather short single player campaign. You can go back and play at higher difficultly levels, but that's only going to keep you entertained for so long. Even fans of super rich tactical simulations will get a kick out of FF's easy interface and well developed AI. It occupies that area between all of the other games in the genre by limiting you to one character to control, offering a 3rd person perspective and using only three basic commands. Even without a fancy license like "Red Dawn" or some other Russo-American themed movie or show, Freedom Fighters works as a change of pace.

Ist ja klasse, dass ich mich jetzt dank des mächtigen Editors als Golfer verewigen kann – bis ins letzte Segelohr- und Bierbauchdetail. Dass ich mir Hosen, Shirts, Uhren und Kappen aussuchen und dass ich auf neuen Kursen auf Dollarjagd gehen kann ist auch nett. Aber gibt`s ein neues Spielgefühl? Nein. Eine neue Schlagtechnik? Nein. Mehr Spielspaß? Jein. Wenn Ihr Euer Glück als Einzelspieler versuchen wollt und die Karriere vom Amateur zum Profi anvisiert, findet Ihr dieses Jahr tatsächlich mehr Möglichkeiten. Vor allem die Welttour sorgt mit freispielbaren Plätzen, Golfern und Accessoires für lang anhaltenden Spaß. Aber wenn Ihr nur ab und zu mit Freunden eine Runde golfen wollt, werdet Ihr definitiv kein anderes Spielerlebnis haben als letztes Jahr – zumal man einen Online-Modus schmerzlich vermisst! Selbst optisch hat EA nur Feintuning angesetzt und enttäuscht sogar mit alten Fehlern. Immerhin ist die Xbox-Fassung klar die ansehnlichste Konsolenfassung. Wer noch kein Golfspiel hat, kann bedenkenlos zugreifen. Wer den Vorgänger kennt, investiert für eine Schönheitsoperation mit viel Schnickschnack definitiv zu viel Geld.

The attempt to recreate the Xbox's 3D game design on the Game Boy Advance is certainly ambitious, but in all honesty the developers should have just stuck with the tried-and-true 2D Prince of Persia-style of the previous Oddworld games for this conversion. Munch's Oddysee is full of little quirks that add up to a very un-fun GBA game that can't even fall back on technical merits.

Tutto, dalla trama che prende le mosse dalla fine di Soul Calibur - non dimenticate di leggere quel libretto di istruzioni! - alla realizzazione tecnica, perfino la completa traduzione in italiano di ogni riga di testo, è stato realizzato con grande cura. Pochi altri giochi recenti sono contraddistinti da una qualità così alta, e questo sarebbe già un buon motivo per acquistare il gioco Namco. Ma non renderei giustizia al capolavoro che è Soul Calibur II. Una grandissima giocabilità sorretta da un sistema di controllo eccellente, magari un po' ostico per chi non ha dimistichezza con il controller GameCube, è il vero punto di forza del titolo, che arricchisce il panorama videoludico di un grandissimo picchiaduro e colma nel migliore dei modi una lacuna nel parco titoli della console Nintendo. Alcune scelte stilistiche potevano essere migliori, ma si tratta davvero di sciocchezze se si prende in considerazione il valore di questo grandissimo gioco. Se siete giocatori di vecchia data del primo Soul Calibur, provate questa nuova esperienza e ne rimarrete senz'altro soddisfatti. Se al contrario non avete mai incrociato le lame su una console... preparatevi ad innamorarvi di Soul Calibur II.

Star Academy mise clairement tous ses atouts sur sa licence capable d'attirer les gamins fans de l'émission. Malheureusement, le contenu n'est pas conforme à ce que l'on pouvait attendre, et la déception risque d'être grande pour nombre d'entre vous.

At first I thought NHL 2004 had been unnecessarily tampered with because scoring wasn't as easy as it used to be. But upon further review I realized this videogame mimics the real thing more than ever and therefore the joys of the sport are found in big hits, near misses and brilliant scoring opportunities that barely miss lighting the lamp. If you can get over the fact that scoring is going to be reserved only for those that deserve it. It's an improvement over the last NHL game from EA but definitely a big change in direction for the franchise. There's plenty of room for improvement but it's clear that the effort has been put into NHL 2004 and the most serious hockey fans should get a kick out of it. Casual fans will either become serious hockey fans or break their controllers trying.
