TOO BULKY for small hands
Okay, the reason you buy the GBA is because it has a great COMPACT size that fits well in your hands, even small one. So why would you want to add a battery pack that is extremely bulky, heavy, and hangs off the back of the GBA like it is some type of store security device made to discourage theft? This thing is ill-fitted to the GBA because, unlike the power grips which has rechargable batteries made into a grip that is more like a full-size game's control pad which is ergonomically correct for usage, this thing plugs into the GBA's back and sticks out of the middle while hanging down in back, making it hard to hold for extended periods of time. Welcome to Carpel tunnel syndrome for kids!!!

doesn't last!
Sure my son got a fair amount of enjoyment from his gameboy and rechargeable power pak, but the power pak is only 3 months old and no longer takes a charge! There is no way to totally discharge it, thus clearing the "memory" and my attempts to contact Interact have been totally unsuccessful. I think I'll head out and just buy rechargeable batteries.

Cheaper than buying batteries
This unit is nice because it saves money on batteries and allows more play time. The only drawback I found is that it does not stay on the cradle when charging very well. It will be fine if it is on a completely flat surface and it is not bumped. It is also important that the kids don't run around nearby or it will fall of the cradle from the vibration. It needs some sort of clip to hold the gameboy advance in place, if it had one it would be 5 stars. I gave this item 4 stars just based on the cost savings alone, it is worth it. ... Read more

Review for Men in Black
Ok, Men in black is...well...ok. Not the greatest game in my collection, but still not the worst either. It doesn't have very good graphics, and the sound quality isn't the best either. Control is suprisingly good, and replay is not much boring as the first time. Overall, it's OK.

Game Ratings for Men in Black

Graphics 2/5
Sound 3/5
Control 4/5
Gameplay 3/5
Replay 3/5
Overall 3/5

One of the worst games I ever played.
This is easily one of the worst games I have ever played. The graphics are unpolished and lack detail, and the controls are terrible. I hate this game, and there are only six short levels.

disappionting
I was really disappointed with the MEN IN BLACK Gameboy game......the graphics were horrible and the game itself is pretty terrible

It was ok
The men in black game was very disapointing. There were only 6 levels of play (pretty short), which makes the game easy to become boring. But even so , the grafics were great(if you don't have a GameBoyColor they aren't that good) and controls were simple enough. ... Read more

Supercross Is Gone!
I saw a bunch of riders like Larocco,Sebastien Roy,Emig,Ferry,Stevenson,Antunez,Tortelli,and Reynard I created a rider on the game by choosing a suit,Bike,person.There all kinds of tricks like whip,nac nac,Superman,Lazy Boy,Chiff hanger.And I did some championships and won 15 of them.

THE COOLEST MOTORCROSS GAME ON THE PLANET
I'm still looking for SupreCross Curciut but' this game is the best I have ever played in my intire life and it will be your favorite to if you can get your hands on this awesome motorcross game.the freeslye track's are anything you could ask for.there are some of the best supercross and freeslye rider's there is you can also create your own rider's.YOU MUST BUY THIS AWESOME GAME.

THE COOOLEST MOTORCROSS GAME
I'm still looking for Supercross Curcuit but this game is the best motorcross game you will ever play in your intire life .The graphix are sweet but it's hard to beat the other riders in races but' the freesyle area's are the best you could ask for.You can create your own rider's which is SWEET.YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME!.....

One of the (much) better Motocross/Supercross games
I rented several of the popular motocross/supercross games to get a feel for each before I purchased. As far as I am concerned, this game still beats some of the newer games in graphics and bike physics (like Ricky Carmichael's, which I was disappointed in). In my opinion, EA Sports games seem to be better overall than those games by other video game developers (like 989 and Acclaim).

My four-year-old son can play this game, fairly well on beginner, and actually not come in last place (which keeps it exciting for him). But in the same manner, I have some excellent competition for me when it's set to pro (I don't give up easily, but the computer is pretty fair considering).

Overall, I was very pleased and satisfied with the game's performance. The reduced price also helped a lot with the decision to buy this versus a newer and more expensive game.

SUPERCROSS
This game is sweet! I got Supercross 2000 but this game is more better than it. It has better graphics and much more... I would recommand this game to anyone who likes Motorcross!!! ... Read more

Hours of entertainment
I'm not one for sports type games but this one was so much fun. The characters that you get to choose from is where the fun comes from. The real fun of the single player game is contained in the game's championship mode. Here, you'll select a boxer whose stats will be extremely low. You'll have to work the boxer through the ranks, through three classes. You can fight for cash prizes and then spend the cash on the training of your boxer. The training takes form in a series of little minigames. Do extremely well in the minigames, and you'll get an even higher bonus to your stats. As you move through the ranks, you'll unlock more boxers in the championship mode, and you'll eventually unlock the bosses for play in the arcade mode. The boxers' faces get banged up after a few rounds and their personalities shine through in the ring introductions. The sound of the crowd, including shouts of encouragement from the corner men, brings a lot to the game's atmosphere. Since it's a few years old.. it's a cheap game now but it's one to have in your collection.

This is a great game for the Play Station
I like this game because I can beet the game very easily. I like how they come to the final boss boxer. For future players who don't know what this game features. This game features Pop Star Michael Jaxon, and MBA Star Shaquel ONeal. I'm sorry if I've spelled the first name wrong, but It'll have to do. Anyway! when you finaly beet these 2 seleberties! you come to this boxer from Chicago. After you beet all the rest of the boxers you have to Fight Michael Buffer/Rumble Man. Rumble Man is the final boss you have to fight at the end of the game. After you beet it! you are the champion. I know because I beet this game over and over on Play Station, but I couldn't beet the PS2 version...I mean I beet it once, but this version is the one I beet over and over. There is no way anyone can beet me. I can't be too sure of that. Anyway! I highly recommend this to future Play Station fans out there.

A FUN GAME
THis is a fun game and has lots of different things to do.Different boxers and bonus players.Its a great game to buy.

Not to easy.
I thought this game was bad. There is unlockable characters and everything. But there is just no way to win 7 fights. You have to hit the computer a million times with jabs and it will probably lead to a knockdown. You have use this system because the computer crowds you and takes over the fight. If all you want is graphics by all means take, but if you want something more this is a rental style rumble.

Editorial Review

While it never quite achieves Muhammad Ali-like greatness, Knockout Kings 2000 isnonetheless an excellent boxing game for both the enthusiast and the casual gamer. Fifty boxing legendsfrom the past and present are featured in this EA Sports title, along with world-famous arenas and TV-stylecoverage. In addition to being able to set up your own fights in the standard exhibition mode, you can playout nine of the greatest boxing matches in history in the game's classic mode. And for those interested inless realism and more pugilism, slugfest mode offers over-the-top, arcade-style boxing.

The real crowd pleaser here is Knockout Kings 2000's career mode. Choosing from a wide varietyof options, you get to create your own custom boxer, who can fight his way to the top in career mode orparticipate in exhibition and slugfest matches. Before career fights, customized boxers can be improved bytraining, or playing various mini-games. (A memory card is required to save custom boxer data.)

What robs Knockout Kings 2000 of the championship belt is its unbalanced 3-D graphics. Theboxers look great and move fluidly, but everything else appears flat and unfinished. Thankfully, fast gamespeed and responsive controls clamp down on the sightseeing, which is one sure-fire way to end up KO'd.--Joe Hon

Pros:

• Can create your own custom boxer
• Features realistic and arcade-style boxing
• Fast game speed and responsive controls
• Optional 1-button mode for those who don't want to memorize controls

• Except for the boxers, graphics aren't very pretty

Knocks out the compitition
It is a great game the create a boxer is great buy when ever you get the chance. Its easy to take out and play. There can be lots of stradegy or just beat up your friends. As J.R. would say its a Real SLOBERKNOCKER. P.S. Im not even a boxing fan and I love this game.

The best game ever since Ready 2 Rumble Boxing!
I like this game. I enjoyed this game alot. I played it this afternoon, and I've never tired of it. The boxers are cool. This is the best game ever. I searched for this in the stores and was disappointed in not finding it there. This is the best game! even better than Ready 2 Rumble Boxing. This game is enjoyable and highly recommended to future gamers! even if the controll is a little slow.

Wow! I don't know what to say. I guess I can sum up by thanking all the reviewers out there. So that's enough of the mushy stuff! I mean! Let's get real here! huh? When am I gonna get some real competition? Come on! don't get silent now! just buy this game and have fun.

Great when it comes to Slugfest, but stinks in Career
This could be a really great boxing game. Some of the best boxers in the world are featured, and the gameplay is excellent. That is until you get into the career mode.

Many of the players lose their skill when going into their careers, and the computer predetermines who will win the next fight. You could be beating the snot out of your opponent, while you give up little health, but he come's right back and KO's you, and the computer won't let you back up.

That's the major problem with this game. Other than that, I have no beef against it.

Kicking... the Pro's was a gas!
I agree...some of the...graphics of the boxers were good, but everything else was weak. Being able to fight with the likes of Ali, Fraser, De La Hoya, Holyfield, and even Leon Spinx was cool... but the real kicker was creating your thug to match fisty wits with the real ones. From the speed and power of their punch, down to facial hair, height/weight, and the color of their shorts and boxing gloves - you get to pick it. This game will get old quick if your playing against the computer, but it has lasting punch playing against your friends.. especially when you beat the living bajesus out of them. The bloodied eyes and teeth popping out onto the mat are great. This game has FUN written all over it. Plus, because this is dated with the year 2000, there's a 99% guarantee you'll find this one on the bargain rack in 2001 and beyond.

Great boxing game
This is a great boxing game. The graphics are good, the gameplay is smooth, and there are plenty of boxers to choose from. The create a boxer feature is also a very nice touch. I reccomend that you buy this game. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Formula One racing may pale in comparison to the U.S.popularity of NASCAR, but that doesn't mean that a good F1 game isn'tworth your attention. Rather than create a game for the casual racingmasses, EA Sports stayed loyal to the hardcore F1 fans withF1 2000, providing more of a simulation than an arcade-style speed burner.

All the tracks from the F1 circuit are here, rendered to perfection, asare all the racing teams. Pre-race options are just astounding with allthe standard car setup features, such as differing tires, gear ratios,and suspensions. There is also a telemetry check screen that examinesthe performance of racers' cars, allowing for optimal changes.

Once players start racing, they may find that cars don't respond asthey should, and controlling these beasts can take quite a bit ofpractice. That means casual players will be spending more time in thegrass then they may consider fun. For F1 fans, though,F1 2000 really has it all. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• All the tracks and all the race teams

• Much more of a simulation than an arcade game

Features

• Formula One racing for the PlayStation
• All the tracks from the 2000 circuit
• Subtle controls and long-term thinking required
• Tons of play modes and options
• For 1 player

Great game
This game is so good, I dont care what other people think about it not being the game it was supposed to be, as far as I'm concerned it ranks up there with NASCAR Thunder 2002.
It is a great game.

F1 2000
F1 2000 is a great game, but could be MUCH better. Graphics and sound are great. Options make the game interactive (car set up, fuel strategy). Draw backs are, when qualifying if you get pole, no other driver can beat that time, so you don't have to compete for 'P1'. Also, any car that is in front of you always has some mechanical failure within a few laps. Usually an engine failure will remove the car in front, even when you set "failures" and "Damage" to off. This can be very frustrating since little 'racing' actually occures. I called Tech support and they were of no real help.

Too easy
Good simulation and graphics but even in the expert mode once you get the lead the race is yours. Not much racing, your car is always the best, even with the worst teams.

Good Game, Mediocre Simulation
On the plus side: great graphics, good track models, handling is fairly believable.

On the other hand, the damage model is frighteningly bad. Run you car into a wall at 170 miles per hour, and you get a message which says, "You're wing is bent! Come in and we'll fix it."

I also got annoyed at the fact that even playing on the expert level, this game is hard to lose. Also, almost every time I am running second, the leader blows up in front of me, even with failures turned off!

One other nit to pick: They boast that "Now you can play the 2000 season at the beginning, instead of waiting until the season is over". Only problem is, we don't know how prone to failure a given car is or how well a driver is going to perform until the season IS over.

Final complaint: I went to EASports' website to complain about this, but couldn't find a feedback line or e-mail spot anywhere.

On the whole, I am fairly disappointed with this "greatest racing sim of the year"

GGGRRREEEEAATTT GAME!
I love F1 games, but after the abysmal F1'98 I was disheartened trying again. While F1'99 was a good return something still prevented it from being a true F1 game, but now thanks to EA F1 has finally arrived in the playstation pit bringing realism along with it.

Firstly the commentary favoured by other F1 games has been dropped in favour of Pit commentary. By this I mean your pit radioing you all the latest race info, such as approximate leading times, pit windows and the ever important identity of who is in pursuit of your position.

The game engine also seemse more touched up, with the need for getting close the racing line to win, rather than simply going where you please and still winning by a long way!

All this is wrapped up with a great soundtrack provided by Brit rockers Placebo. Great idea!

This is the new F1 racer for the new millenium. Get this game and fasten your seatbelt, you are in for a speedy ride! ... Read more

It is Showtime!
NBA Showtime is a better arcade version of NBA Jam and its sister game, College Slam. It's the same as NBA Jam, but it's in 3-D. One of the things i like is the horn you hear when you are goaltending or a free throw. It is indeed Showtime!

Best Game on the Play Station System
Ok this game is very exciting. The graphics are good and it doesn't cheat you very often. I have played this game probably over 200 times. Whenever I have friends over they always start playing that game. If i have a different game in they always take it out and put in NBA Showtime. It is very fun playing with 2 or more people. Even playing by yourself is fun. The 2-on-2 play spreads out the court well and it keeps track of stats pretty well too i think. Creating players and trying to get them to the top being a grand champion and all star champion makes you want to keep playing the game. I got a lot out of the game i think everyone should. In my opinion it's the best sports game on the Play Station system. I give it 5 stars. Thank You.

an acheivement for midway
this game really was a surprise for me and and buds. really it is fun to play with 2 or more players. it gets boring playing it by yourself. the computer drone on your team doesn't do jack. if you can play with two or more people then buy this midway classic

This Is An Okay Game.
On this game the graphics are great! The problem is that when I first bought this game I thought that there was going to be a whole team playing, but it's two vs. two. you pick out what two players you want two play with. The only good thing about it is that it's easier to play the game. I was hoping that a whole team would be playing each other. If you buy this game it's worth trying it.

a real disappointment
Granted, the Playstation doesn't have quite the graphics of N-64 and certainly not the realism of Sega Dreamcast, however, I thought with this relatively simple and fun game they could really do a great job. Unfortunately, the graphics are no better than any other game. It is simple and fast paced (normally my kind of game) but it is a real design flaw that when you pass the ball to your teammate, you don't control the teammate (other than to shoot or pass). A more complicated game like NBA Live can even manage that simple feat. The dunks are great fun and I would imagine the game play with four people would be loads of fun (if I had friends I would be able to say so but, alas, such is not the case). My favorite game in the world is NFL Blitz and since Blitz and Showtime are both made by Midway, I expected more. So it goes. ... Read more

You must not be wrestling fans
WCW Backstage Assault is cool! The interactive environments are the bomb and the fact that EA gives you an entire arena to fight in. The line up of wrestlers is cool too.

Wrestling game loses ring...
WCW had problems. Big problems. One of them was their stinky video games. "Backstage Assault" takes a new idea and almost ruins it. The game is very easy to play, but why bother? What wrestling fan wants a game that takes place outside the wrestling ring? Sounds like "Betrayal," that Game Boy game that WWF put out. This game is a decent fighting game, but an awful wrestling game. And don't bother trying the PSX version. It's even worse.

AWSOME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is awsome. Not like in most of the boring wrestiling, where you are only alowed to fight on the stage. In this one you are able to run from room to room. You can rip pay phones of the walls, hit people with weights, and give them thier much needed electric shocks. GET IT. IT'S GREAT AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

THIS GAME SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Addictive, Strategic Experience
Recent reviews of this game have not given it the proper credit it deserves. You may first believe this game is dull, but it grows more and more complex as you play. The gameplay takes a few attempts to understand, but eventual mastery of the game takes hours, if not days. I love Tetris, and this game is a lot like Tetris in the fact that the biggest challenge is beating yourself. And with that, the higher you raise the bar, the more entertaining and challenging the game can be. And I believe the Amazon.com price for this is now .... How can you go wrong with that?

A reason to own a Dreamcast
The game is excellent. Seemingly quite simple, it is chock full of subtlety as well as fun. The graphics are primo, especially in the higher levels, and the audio is superb as well. It is very difficult to pull myself away from this one.

Different, But The Novely Wears Off Quick...
With so much content being put into games these days, it's going to take more than a tetris-like game to give a game player true value. The game is different, and challenging. However, the novelty wears off after a little while and you're left with a so-so game that begins to gather dust.

I would have to agree with the 1 star review
I too found this game to be very dull.

Being a huge fan of Tetris, I was pretty interested in picking up this title. With all the good reviews it received I figured it would be a sure hit. Actually, it isn't.

From the poor graphics (very Nintendo-ish), to the irritating robotic voice-over (sound effects do NOT show off Dreamcast abilities), I soon found myself bored with building walls to hold in water. The weak graphics and sound might not be too bad if the interface was better (it is a puzzle game after all), but placing your walls in the position you want as they descend from the top of the screen is near impossible. The controls really are that bad. Try moving one slot over and you will usually end up moving way too far or moving the wrong way. And trust me, it's not poor hand-eye coordination on my part.

My suggestion, you better rent this one before you buy or you may be kicking yourself for wasting your $$. I know I am.

If you don't like it after playing a few times, most likely you aren't going to, and then, of course, it'll be too late.

Fun Factor?
I'd hardly call this game fun...trying is more like it. It looks like it was designed for the Nintendo (not the 64, just the Nintendo), the game play is dismal. It lacks the charm of Tetris or the challenge of Klax. This is just a bad game from design to execution. Maybe for 12 and younger, but if you can drive...you probably won't enjoy this game. I bought the game because of the reviews it recieved here and all I can say is...Warning! Stay away! ... Read more

Sabrina Zapped
This game was really exciting. The first level was really easy but they did build into much harder levels with a lot of skill required on some levels. Sometimes, I just thought it can't be done but after lots of gameplaying I got there in the end! The features and characters were really good and I enjoyed changing the animals back into people and was always keen to get onto the next level. Sabrina is really cool and so was this game!!

9 year old daughter has mastered this game in just 3 weeks!
Our daughter loves Sabrina, so we bought this game for her for Christmas. She likes the game, but it's not very much of a challenge. In three weeks of having it, she's already been through the whole game! This game would be good for younger children.

Kids Love It!
Bought this for my 5 year old daughter who is just starting with a Gameboy Color. She loves it, plays everyday and is able to navigate the levels easily. Holds her interest. She also received two other games, but this is the only one she uses. My 8 year old son, who has an Advance and many, many games loves it as well. He loves it so much he wants one for himself. Although it's easy for him, it seems to keep him interested. I highly recommend this game for boys or girls in the 5 to 8/9 age group.

not that good
i got this game at age 10 and i finish this game in one day its very easy and not worth spending money on to play it only a day. if you have someone very young like 6 or 7 years old then they may play it longer but anyone over 8 will probably finish it in a short period of time.

FUNNY BUT KINDA STUPID
I was going to try this game out but I thought I should rent it first. So I went went 2 Shnuks(or what ever the frick you call it). Rented it. Played it. It was a fun triva game, but they kept repeating the same questions over. I liked the little mini games in beetwen the rounds. I would get this game if your rich and you have a lot of wasted money.

Fun but repetitive
The game is a lot of fun but with just two people playing for less than a day we have already seen repeated questions in the trivia sections.

The old style arcade games (with a South Park spin) takes us back to the days of plunking quarters in the machines in the 7-11's.

fun
this one of the ok south park games it is fun and the mini games are really cool one thing that would have been better is if they let you choose and play play the mini games

Fun at first, boring and repetitive later!
This game is ufnny yes, and it is fun but when this is all you play, and when you play it alot it gets very boring. So many of the same questions over and over, and you can't choose the mini games if you want to play them, they are selected randomly after every round. Sometimes there are games you want to play and you can't because the comp never chooses them. The game gets very very boring when you've played it alot, take my word for it, if you can stand playing this game regularly for more than 3 months, go back to pre-school because thats where you belong.

Didn't work well on two systems
I first installed this game on a Pentium Pro 180 with Win98 about a year ago when I received it as a christmas present, and it simply didn't run. I don't remember whether or not it hung my computer, but needless to say it didn't work. A few months ago I built a newer computer (Athlon 800/384MB/Win2k) and tried installing it on that machine. It installed and worked.... sort of. There's lots of CD access and some annoying quirks with my otherwise flawlessly working video card. I was able to play it however, and it wasn't all that fun. Rent it if you're really curious, but otherwise I'd say stay away. ... Read more

Editorial Review

When it comes to digital hoop action, there's no doubt thatNBA 2K sports the most luscious visuals ever seen in abasketball game. It's not the best-playing basketball game out there,as it does commit some serious fouls with its questionable artificialintelligence. But like NFL 2K before it, this is yet anothersports game that Dreamcast owners will want to show off to friends.

The clean graphics show some extremely well-detailed players,stadiums, fans, and even coaches. While the player animationsaren't quite smooth as glass (there are quite a few speed-ups andslowdowns), the players do move in a fairly realistic manner. When yousee the instant replay of your favorite power forward delivering amassive dunk, you'll cheer. To complement the visuals, Sega has addedplay-by-play and color commentary to document the on-screen action.While this does get a little repetitive, this feature ultimately addsto the atmosphere of realism.

NBA 2K shows some trouble with controls. This is most apparentin handling loose balls. You'll cringe as you occasionally watch longpasses sail out of the court, resulting in mindless turnovers. This isespecially painful to watch when the Dreamcast can't complete passesto computer-controlled players. These stupid turnovers can, will, anddo affect a game's final score--and have even caused a few games to berestarted in disgust. On the positive side, NBA 2K contains anew finesse-based method of hitting foul shots that requires that yousqueeze the control triggers in near perfect synch.

The create-a-player and coaching options make it relatively easy tolead your team from postseason TV watchers to championship ringowners.

While the 2000 season's prettiest basketball game offers more thanjust the most delicious eye candy, there is still a lingering feelingthat NBA 2K could've been much better with alittle more fine-tuning. At the very least, while NBA 2K is recommended, it isanticipated that the successor NBA 2K1 will offer even morebackboard-breaking fun. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

• Spectacular graphics that show plenty of detail
• Play-by-play and color commentary add to the fun
• Easy to play, but different from most console roundball games
• Foul shots are a highlight

• Graphics suffer from occasional slowdown for no apparent reason
• Controls could be stronger

NBA 2k. The Best of The Best and Better Then The Rest!
Wow. This game is the greatest basketball game to ever grace the Earth. Remember all those other basketball games with the shoddy graphics and horrible framerates? Well, forget 'em. This game has great graphics with amazing detail, from the holes in the characters uniforms to the tattoos on Jason Williams arms to the facial hair on Shaq's face. The characters also correspond to their real-life counter-parts. From Patrick Ewing's slow run to Jason Williams' famous fancey foot work. Oh, it also runs at a steady 60 fps. The game also plays grrreeaattt! Pulling off a perfect play, alley-oop, dunk, 3-pointer, whatever feels great! The game does have some flaws that keep it from being perfect. Some strange calls from thee ref really get annoying, and sometimes people on your team will catch the ball with one foot out of bounds. Why? There is also some strange missed passes, but thos are actually kind of realistic. The last flaw is that during a season game you can't check stats from other games, just the one your playing. Oh well, a great game non-the-less. Definetely on worth buying. It just never seems to get old. Peace.

NBA 2K THE NEW KING OF THE COURT
FIRST ANYONE THAT HAS SEEN OR PLAYED NBA 2K KNOWS THAT THIS IS THE MOST REALISTIC LOOKING GAME OUT ON THE MARKET. THE GRAPHICS BLOW YOU AWAY, BUT THE GAME PLAY IS PRETTY GOOD TO0. THE MOVES THAT THE PLAYERS MAKE ARE SO REALISTIC IM CONSTANTLY WATCHING THE INSTANT REPLAY OVER AND OVER IN DIFFERENT VIEWS TO CATCH THE MOVE. HOWEVER, ANYBODY THAT PLAYS BASKETBALL VIDEO GAMES IN TOURNAMENTS WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS KNOWS THAT AFTER AWHILE ALL THAT GLAMMOR AND GLITZ FADES AWAY. THATS WHEN THE STRATEGY AND GAME PLAY COMES INTO FACTOR. I REALLY HAVENT GOT INTO THE ACTUAL PLAYS THAT THE TEAMS RUN YET, BUT THEY LOOK PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE ONE ON NBA LIVE. THE PLAYERS ACTUALLY RUN OFF THE PICKS THAT ARE SET AND EVERYTHING. THE DEFENSE LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED. EVEN ON THE HARDEST LEVEL YOU CAN PUMP FAKE YOUR MAN AND DRIVE TO THE HOLE FOR A DUNK ABOUT 85% OF THE TIME. THE GAME ALSO ALLOWS YOU BLOCK SHOTS AT AN ENORMOUS RATE. ANOTHER DOWNFALL IS THE LONG PASSING. THEY NEED MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT ON THE NEXT VERSION. THE MOST OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE GAME AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO PLAY NBA LIVE WILL NOTICE IS THE LACK OF ILLEGAL DEFENSE. YOU CAN JUST CAMP OUT IN THE PAINT AND WAIT FOR THE REBOUND OR JUST RUN AROUND ANYWHERE ON THE COURT. THIS TAKES AWAY FROM THE REALNESS OF THE GAME. OVERALL, EVEN WITH ITS DOWNFALLS NBA 2K IS STILL THE KING OF THE COURT FOR NOW. THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR ALL BASKETBALL FANS AND VIDEO GAME JUNKIES. I JUST CANT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT VERSION COMES OUT.

The Best Basketball Game Ever
My tittle says it all. Hands down, no comp., aint nothin' else coming close to the classis, the very first NBA 2K. The BEST sports graphics I've ever seen. This is a true story, no lie. Alright, I was playing NBA 2K on Dreamcast and my father walked past the room and saw only the TV screen and said to me, "There're still playing NBA games? I thought the season was over". It's crazy how technology drastically change, and that game was out over 4 years ago and nothing since has been even able to come close (except ofcourse the other NBA 2K's).NBA Live is just getting up to par with Live 2004. NBA 2K has surpass all other basketball video games and reached a whole new plateau. Not only the graphics are the best but the game play was too real. The moves were so detail. I can't say enough about the game. My Dreamcast is inop. because I think I played it to much but I would buy a whole new system just to play this game.It's a shame the whole Dreamcast system went out of business. I think people were runnin' with playstation just off name alone. If you ask me, If they would have made all games for playstation and Dreamcast, Playstation would have been the one out of business. Anyway, Three words to describe NBA 2K. OFF THE CHAIN!

It's good but it has bad graphics.
This is a good video game, but the problem is the graphics, man it's bad, and the superstar teams the San Rafael Sega Sports Team and the San Rafael Seganet are good but really racist, because they hardly have black guys on their teams, but I do like the San Rafael Mocap. My favorite players are Sadiki Fuller and Roy Byrd, and the name of their colleges are really funny: Dunk University Very Much, and University Read My Ankle, but is their such college as Light It Up University, and Redman is featured from Def Jam University, and Larry Peacock from Hard Knox College, and Charles Outlaw and Brian Grant. But when the players were made with giant heads, that was freaky, and I didn't like that over camera, but my favorite camera is swivel. I give it a ***** (5 out of 5).

dreamcast has the best sports games
I think the now defunct Sega Dream Cast has some of the best sports games out there (NFL 2K, Virtua Tennis, etc), and NBA 2K is no exception. The graphics and game play are great. I think this is the best basketball game I've come across. ... Read more

Do Good Graphics Make Up For An Easy Game?
DNA Factor is a game that is fun while it lasts. It has 10 species of dinosaur and 12 levels, but many of the levels return you to previous locations. The game has nothing to do with the movie, but it is fun anyway.
In each level, you move along, avoiding dinosaurs, picking up weapons, and collecting DNA particles that are needed in the game. At the end of each level, you must pick up a final DNA cartridge. If you do not collect enough DNA, you have to redo the level. If you do, you move on to the mini-game at the end of the level, where you shoot the DNA particles you collected at a DNA strand, filling in spaces. To make it harder, as the game moves on, the DNA strand moves faster, and you have to dodge parasites. The DNA strand also moves closer to you, and if you are hit by a parasite or touch the DNA strand, you have to restart the entire level.
In the game, once you figure out certain things in a level, it becomes very easy to beat. I beat this game in a month after I got it. Hey, it's a great game while it lasts.

DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS GAME SUUUUUCKS DONT GET IT WHATEVER U DO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puzzles with arcade action don't work here
Jurassic Park was a great film, but this game would make the movie seem like Waterworld. Sure the graphics are nice, but the game play itself is very, very, weak. The attempt at combining puzzles with action failed completely. The two types are quite unbalanced and though the puzzles can be fun, the action is sorely lacking. Collecting capsules doesn't really constitute fun in my book. The other key elements of the game; music, play control, etc. are all excellent. These are the only things keeping this game from sinking to the bottom of the ratings pool. If you're a die hard Jurassic Park fan, you'll probably enjoy this game, though it has nothing to do with the films. Otherwise, you'll want to avoid this game like you would a Velociraptor. Fortunately though, this game can't open doors, so you can run and hide.

Good graphics
While lacking in plot, this game will appeal to Jurassic Park fans like me. The graphics are very good, but the lack of characters is disappointing. The dinos make getting the DNA difficult, more than it should be.

DNA Disaster
This game is good, but it isn't anywhere near best. The plot is good and if there wasn't so many dang dinos, it would be a popular game. They make collecting DNA harder than it should be. It took me a few hours to get to the third level. That is to much for a good game. If your a JP3 fan, get just to say you have it. Otherwise, FORGET IT! ... Read more

Fast and Fun Fishing Game
Action Bass is a fast-paced, arcade-style fishing game. The straightforward presentation makes Action Bass easy for anyone to play and makes it a lot of fun, since you're almost always pulling fish out of the water.

There aren't any lakes, instead, you fish in five different areas, unlocking additional lures as you progress.The gameplay is quite simplistic. All you really have to do is choose the best lure for a particular area and cast.

The 3D graphics are fairly realistic and sound is reasonable good too.

Action Bass is a good arcade-style fishing but for players that really enjoy simulation-style fishing games with boats and vast areas to explore, then this may not be the right game for you.

Fun
This is a fun game. It isn't one of those things where you go out and have to learn the weather and water conditions and the proper lures for whatever fish. That's what makes it great - you just go out and catch fish. It is great ... . On the minus side the loading time is pretty long and the graphics aren't really the best.

Very good Christmas gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave this game to my teenage cousin and he loved it. So all I can write is what he said: Totally awesome!!!!! Its phat!!!

This Game is a waste of $
It was a waste of time, after you hook the fish they dont try to escape, they sit there so you can reel them in. You will quickly get bored with this game.

This game is a waste of time ad money
...You cant ride around in a boat and hunt for the fish. And when you do fish, the fish dont fight! it just sits there and lets you pull it in! How bad is that? It is a horrible game.I have learned something, dont trust reveiws. " Al Linder from TNN IN-FISHERMAN as the announcer." Bah Humbug, it is just some old teenager that sounds like he needs help.... ... Read more

Editorial Review

Expectations ran high for this game, due to its exciting, eponymous movie and the exceptionalNintendo 64 James Bond game GoldenEye 007. And while this game presents the variety andintrigue one would expect from the beloved licensed-to-kill, martini-sippin' spy, it would have benefitedfrom a bit more polishing. Don't expect this game to be on par with the games and movies that preceded it.In fact, if you're looking for a GoldenEye-like experience for the PlayStation, you'd be much betteroff with the WWII period piece, Medal of Honor.

Tomorrow Never Dies uses an auto target mode, but it's far too restrictive to be of use here,requiring players to stand still in order to keep the target locked. The game loyally follows the film, butwhen the action intensifies--such as a hot pursuit on skis, or flying a nuclear warhead-laden jet out of a hotzone--players are forced to either relinquish control entirely or have minimal input.

Gadgets from Bond's old pal Q are too sparsely used, and the absence of any multiplayer mode seals thisgame's fate as a small diversion rather than a stellar accomplishment. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Excellent music
• Good use of real film clips to propel the story

• Very poor control scheme and limited distance vision inhibit stealthy playing style
• Skiing and driving sequences feature outdated graphics and ambiguous controls
• Easy levels and no multiplayer mode give this game little, if any, replay value

Features

• Become secret agent 007 in this third-person shooter game
• Incredible weapons and clever gadgets
• 10 exciting levels
• Help Bond save the world and get the girl
• For 1 player

Way too many problems
I saw 'The World is Not Enough' opening day, and was shopping later that night. The day before, this game had been released, and since I was still excited about the new film, I bought the game immediately. At first, it was okay. You could watch the TND opening credits, and it had great cut scenes, but the enemies were dumb, and the missions weren't fun. First, there are only 10 levels, and they're pretty easy to beat. There are medical kits everywhere! I think I enjoyed the driving mission the best, but even that got boring after about 2 tries. There weren't many weapons, and unlike Goldeneye, it did not follow the movie all too closely.

This is what I liked about the game: first, 007 talked, and I thought the voice-overs were pretty good. The music was excellent, and it was Bond, so that gave me a little more enthusiasm to keep playing. But without a multi-player, I found that this game got to my shelf real quick, and never really made it back into my Playstation.

After deciding to give this game another try, I noticed one thing fatal to a shooting game. My gun wouldn't fire! I'd try to shoot the stupid enemies, and the gun seemed to be jammed. I eventually found this to be true with every weapon in the entire game. I returned it for a new copy, and the same thing happened! Eventually they allowed me to purchase another title, which made me glad, because this game was basically a disaster.

If you're looking for something to match up to Goldeneye, get Medal of Honor or its sequal, Medal of Honor: Underground. It has great weapons, it's a 1st person shooter, and it plays a lot more like a Bond game than this piece of junk...EA: stick to sports games.

Don't expect the same as Goldeneye
As a big fan of the Nintendo 64 "007" adventure, I was expecting great missions for the single player and then exciting multi-player action. The missions in Tomorrow Never Dies are excellent in graphic detail, well thought out, and not so easy that you want to return the game immediately. But, and I mean a big BUT, where is the multiplayer fun that we all came to know and love with Goldeneye for the N64? I will miss all the fun that my friends and I had slaughtering each other on the screen. I loved it because more than one person could become involved and people weren't bored watching just one person playing the game. Electronic Arts has built a good game; I'll give them that. They just left out my favorite part. If you live for the multi-player action; don't buy this game. If you live for addicting single player missions, this is definitely a must for you.

Its ok for a cheap shooter
I bought this game because of the N64 game golden eye, this was NOTHING like that. You are in 3rd person mode, and its hard to maneuver almost all of the time. Also, having automatic weapons is no help, the enimy takes its damage and wont take another for about another second or 2, destroying the purpose of having and automatic weapon. The graphics aren't very good either. There is however no bloodshed, making it more suitable for younger people. This is ok, just not like I expected it to be.

Very, very bad game
Tomorrow Never Dies is one of the worst action games ever. There are hardly any puzzles to solve, and the puzzles in the game are extremely easy. There was no thought put into this game. Only 10 levels that are SOOO short. There are only about 3-4 hours of gameplay. Weapons were okay, but they were too powerful, and that kind of made the game too easy. I mean, the pistol has UNLIMITED ammo. It also has sixteen bullets per clip, and an extremely fast rate of fire. The pistol can kill regular enemies so easily, and it can even kill the bosses easily. I could beat the whole frikkin' game using the pistol. Also, Bond never dies. The enemies are so dumb that you will never lose. When I play games, I want a challenge...

a review by someone who knows!
This game looks tight, definetley a buyer, espically if you love skateboarding games. Graphics look awsome, but it needs a better cast of characters, but im buyin it for sure! i saw a video preview and it looks good, but the grinding suckz, and a big disappointment to all, Tony Hawk is not featured in the game, but still itz a buyer.

Wait till tony Hawk 3!
This game is bad. Theres good graphics and thats about it. horrid music and a very small assortment of tricks, and some tricks dont even have names. It also has a very unconsitent frame-rate (always slowing down) THPS3 is almost here, and that will blow this game out of the water.

TERRIBLE!! get tony hawk!!
if u want to buy a skateboarding game then stick to tony hawk this game is horrible. the tony hawk games beet everything about this game. there is hardly any moves u can do. for flip tricks all u can do is pop shoveit heelflip kickflip and hardflip. u cant even do double kickflips. when u grind there is no balance meter u just lean to one side. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! there is hardly any levels and only 8 skaters. this game is really bad. the graphics are good but tony hawk still beets them.

xtreme
This game is 5 times better than any tony hawk game because it is more realistic.Not to mention the levels are better,and the game is harder.

This game is sweet
Bob is hot, i want bob, bob is in this game, this game is hot, i want this game, i have this game, you dont, so go buy it. If you think bob is hot. Or if you just love skateboarding :) ... Read more

Editorial Review

SuperCross Circuit is packed with pros. This game letsyou race supercross all-stars Larry Ward, Mike LaRocco, John Dowd, andTim Ferry on licensed dirt bikes from Honda, Yamaha, KTM, and Kawasaki.As if that was not official enough for die-hard dirt bikers, thereare realistic racetracks to conquer, including Sam Boyd Stadium, RedBud, and Glen One.

The game designers paid particular attention to recreating rugged trackand bike conditions that muddy up (literally) an otherwise clean racingexperience. For example, your bike must avoid puddles that haven'tquite dried up. Expect to get dirty; during our test of this game, wefound it to be nearly impossible to avoid getting our virtual bikescaked with mud.

Two players can face off in a single race or, if you prefer, you canrace for a whole season to accumulate titles and cash prizes for bikeupgrades. If you conquer the realistic tracks contained in the game,you can design 20 monster tracks with the track editor. This featureallows you to create your own hairpin turns, giant jumps, and deeppits. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Features professional racers, actual racetracks, and licensed dirtbikes from top bike manufacturers
• Customize your own tracks

Cons:

• Trick moves do not count for points or rankings
• Computer-generated opponents are difficult to beat

Features

• Supercross racing game
• Race against supercross all-stars Larry Ward, Mike LaRocco, John Dowd, and Tim Ferry
• Ride on licensed dirt bikes from Honda, Yamaha, KTM, and Kawasaki
• Design 20 monster tracks with the track editor
• For 1 or 2 players

Best Dirtbike Racing Game EVER
Supercross Curcuit is the absolute best motocross/ supercross game ever. For example, there are the real life pro riders including Ezra Lusk, Doug Henry, Steve Lampson, Jeff Emig, Mike LaRocco, the 1999 Motocross National Champion Greg Albertyn along with many other riders. This game has berm-busting tracks including Southwick, Glen Helen and the best supercross tracks in the United States. To make the tracks even better there are killer graphics. There are also three freestyle motocross tracks where you perform heart stopping tricks with your favorite riders on real bikes such as the Yamaha's YZ 400. Hook up the second controler and have a blast with your friends. You can also create some phat supercross or freestyle tracks. Do you like challanges? Try the circuit mode where you race a season and get points just like the pros. If this sounds like it's ally buy the 989 Studios', Supercross Circuit today!

The best motocross/ supercross game
this game has it all, real tracks that actually look like there supposed to, track editor, all the pro's, great graphics, and the best game play and rider physics ever seen. I've played all the motocross games and nothing comes close to this one.Race a season and get pionts to upgrade your bike including real aftermarket parts, or roost you friend with the heart stopping game play only in Supercross Circut!

This game is fun
I saw all kinds of riders and tracks I did a carrer mode and I picked a kawsaski.The riders I saw was Mike LaRocco,Kevin Windham,Larry Ward,Jeff Emig,John Dowd,Mickeal Pichon,Greg Albertyn,Casey Lytle,Ryan Hughes,Casey Johnson.I checked it out at blockbuster I had fun on it but it doesn't have much overall to it.I saw some Tracks on it like Hangtown,Glen Helen Millville,Washougal,Red Bud.

Game Vs. Seller
The game is great for the PS1. It has the sounds and realism for the motorcyle enthusiast. Challenging once you reach the 250cc.
However, I was worried about the seller. It took over two weeks to get the merchandise and I was already filing complaints. The game arrived in excellent condition!

This is it
This is BY FAR the best motocross game out. I have played them all and the rest are a huge waste of money. I ride motorcycles and this game is very realistic in a lot of ways. It has excellent body movements and you can hit the corners fast. All of the tracks look great and you don't get stupid points for doing tricks while you race, which doesn't happen in real life! I played supercross 2000, and I couldn't stop laughing at it. The Mcgrath game is weak too. Go buy Supercross Circuit ! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Unless the mention of names like "Stone Cold Steve Austin" and "The Rock" makesyour eyes light up and your pulse rise, it's unlikely that WWF Wrestlemania 2000 willappeal to you. This officially licensed title features 15 World Wrestling Federation superstars andfive modes of play, including WWF staples like the team-based survivor series and thetournament-style gauntlet mode. (Two-player mode is available via link cable.) Wrestlers can grapple in and outof the wrestling ring, as well as within the confines of the infamous chain-linked cage. EmceeVince McMahon is around for added authenticity, although his and the wrestlers' trash-talk hasbeen sanitized.

Making effective use of the Game Boy Color's graphics and sounds, THQ has done an admirablejob of capturing the sensationalistic feel of the WWF, right down to the wrestlers' grandiose stageentrances. Unfortunately, WWF Wrestlemania 2000 is marred by poor gameplay--thecontrols aren't very responsive, and mindless button-mashing gets you farther than it should.--Joe Hon

Pros:

• Sure to please WWF fans

• Poor controls hamper gameplay

WWF Wrestlemania 2K
After playing WWF2K for N64 and then Game Boy Color, there was a big change. In the Game Boy Color version, there is only 16 total characters to choose from. WWF2K for Game Boy Color exceded my expectations for graphic and fun though. The graphics were pretty good and the moves were very well portraited. It was pretty easy to learn the moves and the instruction booklet gives two pages of moves you can do. Overall, I was impressed with WWF Wrestlemania 2000 for Game Boy Color. I highly recommend this game if you are into wrestling, or just into good games.

pretty good game
This is a pretty good game if you like wrestling. Pretty good graphics-you can tell most of the wrestlers apart,and the moves look great. One problem, though, is that tall wrestlers like big show and kane should be bigger than the other wrestlers. There are 15 wrestlers, but there could have been more. There are a lot of moves, but everyone does pretty much the same moves. It would have been better if you could choose which moves a wrestler got and there were more moves. overall a pretty good game

stupid game
this is the worst game everyone has the same moves and it is way to hard to control the wrestlers there is only like 10 guys ...

There is so much old school stuff here
This game reminds me so much of those old WWF games back on the NES. You had limited movement, very limited moves, and basically less than accaptable storyline. However it's because of these things that makes this game so great.

In story mode it basically is an Austin vs McMahon thing. YOu are basically on your way to win the WWF title and in the process you ahve Vince McMahon getting in the way putting you against variouse characters and handicap matches, gauntlets and so on. It doesn't matter who you choose the story is always the same except the champ is whoever was their greatest rival (Austin vs Rock, Mandkind vs Big Show, Undertaker vs Kane) and so on. In the end after you win the title you are placed in a gauntlet for the title and in the end you face Vince.

So with two buttons how do you do your finisher, when the bar towards the center under your life bar is full, push select.

Overall this is an ok rent, and only for the msot dedicated WWF Fan. Stick with Fire Pro Wrestling.

Not as good you think
I spent [enough] on this game and it really it wasn't worth it. I can name alot of things why this game really isn't that good, mainly because holds very little information.
One, it only has 15 wrestlers, they only go side to side and if you move up or down, the
wrestler moves in that direction but will be facing sideways which looks really stupid.
Two, the ring is like a hundred ft. long. If you want to move to the other side of the ring to do something like a long jump off the turnbuckle you can do so but you will have no sight of your opponent.
Three, the wrestlers can't go out of the ring or get weapons. You can go outside but the only way to do so is if you get knocked out or if someone is alreay out, then you can get out and do whatever you want to but you only get ten seconds before you get called "count out" and lose the match.
Four, the cages matches in this game are okay but there is no ropes so you can't do any moves that consist throwing your opponent to the ropes in a cage match.
Five,There are no entrances when you play. There are entrances when you do a championship but thay are made up ones. There are not so bad but they don't have the entrance music which is something the people who made this game really could have put in.
Six, you can't make your own rules for the game. All the matches have the same boring rules.
Seven, there is a column for biogrophies about the wrestlers but it just tells about there stats and tells nothing about there life.
Eight, the graphics of the wrestler are really bad. I know its GAME BOY so not everything is perfect but the should have made people like the Undertaker, Kane , and Big Show a little bigger. I mean X-Pac is as big as them (everyone is the same size)and in real life he is a shrimp.
Regarding about all this the game is a little fun but after some time the game becomes boring. Believe me, SAVE YOUR MONEY, THIS GAME ISN'T WORTH WHAT YOU PAY FOR! ... Read more

Editorial Review

TrickStyle is one of the most stylishly pleasing games. And theDreamcast version really pumps out the pixels with fluid animation that effortlesslyfollows the hoverboard riders along the tracks. One of the game's designers recentlyexplained that the concept behind the game was for riders to find the path of leastresistance, taking one graceful path down the track like "a drop of mercury." Greatconcept. But this drop met many a brick wall on its way to uncertain victory. The tracksin TrickStyle are not player-friendly, and neither are the computer-controlledopponents that act more like flawless robots than flesh-and-blood competitors.

Still, this game looks so darn cool, you can't resist playing it. The requisite tricks fromsnowboarding games are here, but this time they actually add important power-ups toyour repertoire, favoring function over, dare we say, style. To save yourself thefrustration of trying to consistently win races, you should enjoy this game by watchingthe screen while other more nimble or less leisure-time-deficient friends play. --JeffYoung

Pros:

• Jaw-dropping graphics and animation
• Functional board tricks
• Contemporary styling

• Difficult racetracks
• Unrealistically skilled computer opponents
• Need to place first in order to progress

Entertaining, but shallow
Trickstyle has some very nice features, like fluid character movement, variety of characters to choose from, and relatively fun gameplay, but it unfortunately lacks depth as a game. While the racing tracks are certainly challenging, there are too few of them, and little is offered in terms of replayability.

The racing portions have an unnervingly unbalanced learning curve as well. I personally found the initial tracks to be very hard at first, but once I got the hang of the first couple, the rest tended to simply be an issue of seeing the track a couple times and then winning. The final track in the game put a crimp in this style, as it's suspended in the air, so falling off the edge is easy, and actually making it far enough along to see the later bits is a challenge in and of itself.

For me, the only aspects of replayability in this game involved simply going around the practice arena doing tricks. Trickstyle suffers from what seems to be a difficulty in deciding whether it's a racing game or a boarding tricks game. While it initially seems geared towards the racing, the tricks aspect is fairly developed, and the racing portions just don't offer much past the initial challenge of actually winning the race. At the same time, there's little in the way of actual tricks competition in the game, making it almost a proof of concept of the tricks engine than anything approaching a releasable game.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, and finding your own challenges to do within the practice arena can be interesting for a while (trying to get maximum amount of points in a single jump, jumping over the high crossbeams of the hub of the arena), but while both aspects of the game show promise, the combination of two underdeveloped games really leaves the user unsatisfied in the end.

style over substance? not my type of game
I've got good news and bad news about "Trickstyle". First, the bad. You would think by the title that this game would have a load of tricks, right? Think again. Ok, the "gyro" is pretty dang cool, but this game could be tons better with a flip and spin system like in the "Coolboarders" series. That right there would've givin it an extra star. The tracks are pretty, but too similar. Very monatonous. For me, an experienced gamer, this game was way too easy. But, it is ok for a beginner. I would've liked a four player mode instead of just two players. Now, the good news. Everything in it is beautiful. I love getting sick air over gaps in pipes and bowls. It gives you a feeling unlike other skateboarding or snowboarding games. VERY stylish. All the latest trends (Zack's gap vest and cords). Japan race # 5, baby. More extreme than espn 2. Possibly the scariest track i've ever raced on in a game. First off, you are above the highest skyscraper. Second... well... I guess you'll just have to play on it to see # 2. Overall, it is fun to look at, but lacks the substance that should be in dreamcast games. I say "play before you pay" to this one.

Futuristic Racing it is, Fun its not!
A title such as Trickstyle has great potential but suffers for designers with little vision! When playiing this game you WILL get the feeling that it needs more. You will go away feeling short changed. The graphics are cool but the control is not. this game is basically flat with little replay value, the tracks are TOO SHORT and there is no real element in the game that makes it a worthy purchase.

PLAY BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!!!!

Secret Codes makes it easier
A few people don't like the game because its difficult to beat. But if you go to any of the popular game websites, you can get free codes which alow you to win ever race, select every hover board, and every stage.

The graphics are great and you get to do a lot of outrageous moves.

I would love to see a sequel!
This is still one of my fave DC racing games. There's a futuristic design style that... isn't poorly created, like most games, this is very cool, it feels like a future world. Also, as you're riding, when you fall from a high height or low height, this gives a sense of reality, like you are actually living the opening scene from the original 'Rollerball' film or a hoverboard version of 'Bullit's car chase. I hated having to do Tricks, so maybe a sequel could change the name to "____Style". Thankfully, I didn't have to do tricks much at all. There aren't too many tracks, some feel the same, but they all have worthwhile, unique elements. Racing against a friend may not be easy, as they should learn the course beforehand. I didn't feel the computer was cheating me out of a win I deserved, I feel this game has a fairly normal difficulty level -- it suited me right. I wished I could play tracks as difficult as the last one! Online play for a sequel would be great, can you imagine going against a capable human player on Japan #5 or so? During it I felt as though I was actually playing this game, instead of just driving past scenery with other character models. There are some dodgy control issues, but how should a hoverboard control? The control has equally beneficial abilities too. I enjoyed the Challenges a fair amount too, the VMU game is to be ignored... I disliked the obnoxious characters, and didn't find them 'cool', they are one-note stereotypes and pretty much just dress in a GAP/popstar/jock/foreign-superman way, I wanted to see futuristic punk clothes or something! You may not like this game, but I love it. The music could be better, but it could be worse too, it does what it needs to do, it can be somewhat ambient in it's own techno way, it could've been as unique as the game itself. I wish I could save cheat options like no time limit. This would be an ideal Xbox racer, but it's gorgeous on DC. At least rent to see if it's for you. ... Read more
