The Thing takes some time to get into, and it may be a little frustrating for some gamers. But I'm quite sure that once its given a chance, The Thing won't disappoint. The deeper you play, the more satisfying and challenging it becomes, and the more it draws you in. The Thing is well-paced, designed with an excellent variety of levels, and it pulls off the most innovative and best squad-based play on PlayStation 2. I can't wait to see what they do with the sequel (just a guess, of course...). And, The Thing is not designed for an innocent little kid. It's an M-rated game and to prove it, it's filled with grotesque scenes of violence, exploding bodies, and gallons of blood. Also, there's foul language, too, something that's more common these days in videogames. All of things are consistent with the movie, the theme of which has been handled with exquisite care and thought. With the exception of the blood test goofs and the rather thin storyline, The Thing warrants your time and money. It's a good action-adventure game, and yes, it's even a very good survival-horror game, something we'll all in need of.

Une déception que cet add-on qui ne parvient pas à faire revivre l'intensité d'Avp 2 et qui le transforme en un bête shooter ordinaire et même assez moyen. Installez-le, jouez-y et découvrez que ce qui est nouveau ne vaut pas toujours ce qui est ancien. A voir, pour les fans.

La note tente de sanctionner la facilité du portage d'un jeu vieux de deux ans, sans pour autant faire injure au concept génial de Crazy Taxi. L'intérêt est réel pour qui ne connaît pas encore le principe de ce titre, mais le plaisir de jeu est toujours aussi limité par l'extrême répétitivité de l'action.

Un titre tout à fait sympathique et qui devrait faire le bonheur des amateurs de puzzles en tous genre. A la fois simple et complexe Zoocube propose une gymnastique cérébrale amusante.

Un titre qui s'avère finalement beaucoup moins à l'aise sur Gamecube que sur GBA. Les possesseurs de la 128 bits de Nintendo devrait afficher une certaine déception en découvrant la réalisation de ce titre qui ne met pas franchement en relief les performances du support.

With all that ZooCube is on the GBA, is it fun? I certainly think so. It's not the prettiest game on the system, but it's definitely the most unique, and a lot of thought was put into its design. ZooCube isn't as much a puzzle game as it is a game of quickness and endurance. It's like Tetris in the sense that you put yourself into a "zone," and just do the task at hand as it gets faster and more intense¿there are no Puyo-Pop style combos to worry about. When playing ZooCube, I'm reminded of playing Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar¿just let your mind go, and your fingers will do the rest. But it's how long your mind can be in this "zone" that makes or breaks your gaming session. The overall design could have a few more gameplay modes beyond the three singleplayer and two multiplayer options, it could have incorporated the whole Zoo idea better in the GBA version, and it could have explained all the bonuses a lot more clearly. But what's here is good fun that you've never played before.

Let me get this off my chest. I love good puzzle games. My dreams were haunted by Tetris the night I first played it, and with variations on it such as Pokemon Puzzle League for the N64, I had the same misfortune. If one thing is clear, it meant that I became unhealthily obsessed with these games. This simply did not happen with ZooCube. It advertises itself to be addictive, but its 3D design seems more of a novelty than anything else. ZooCube will only appeal to a small group of people. At the very best, it's a rental for most consumers. It's a fresh concept, but something that most will just get bored with very quickly. I really wanted it to be more than that, but the elements for a truly addictive puzzle game simply aren't there.

Dead to Rights delivers. It's a great challenge and an absolute blast to play. Yes, there are some faults (and major ones) but that can't keep the game from being a great deal of fun. Had the fighting engine been better, this one would easily trounce Max Payne as king of the bullet-time games. But the fighting is too plain, too poor, and there's far too much of it. Namco may have been too subtle in presenting this as a movie-style game. You'll hear comments that you dismiss early on that actually have a subtle relevance later on. Things that in a Stallone movie would include a close up on Sly's face as he made the odd remark. Something that made it stand out. And then at the end of the movie, after the final battle, the audience would have that line pop back into their head and they'd smile. "Oh, how clever." But the cleverness is a bit too subdued here. Still, these qualms aside, DTR makes for a great pick up. Anyone looking for a hard game (there is no difficultly modifier) filled with action, this is the one to get. I'm on my third time through (no lie) and still trying to unlock all the disarms. Good stuff.
