Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (ehh) 『The graphics look like they are from Playstation 1. The combat system amounts to a whole lot of button mashing. The camera angles are really annoying. For some ridiculous reason the game designers thought they needed to show you where all the enemies are just before you get to them.』
(NOT backward compatible for Xbox 360) 『Fun multiplayer game with a great mix of heroes and villains to choose from. I had played it on PS2 a few years back and bought it again recently to play with my boyfriend, since both of us are Marvel fans. My only major complaint is not backward compatible for Xbox 360. I hadn't had any problems with any of the previous original Xbox games I had bought to play on my Xbox 360, until I bought X-men Legends and Legends II. Niether games are backward compatible with Xbox 360. My 360 informed me to check Xbox.com/games for an updated list of playable original Xbox games, which hasn't been updated since November 2007. I doubt they ever will update it. Next time I buy an original Xbox game, it will have to be one of the following backward compatible games: * 2006 FIFA World Cup * 25 to Life * 4x4 EVO 2 * AirForce Delta Storm * Aggressive Inline * Alias * Aliens versus Predator Extinction * All-Star Baseball 2003 * All-Star Baseball 2005 * America's Army: Rise of a Soldier * AMF Bowling 2004 * Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding * Amped 2 * APEX * Aquaman: Battle of Atlantis * Arena Football * Armed and Dangerous * Army Men: Sarge's War * Atari Anthology * ATV: Quad Power Racing 2 * Auto Modellista * Avatar: The Last Airbender * Bad Boys 2 * Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance * Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II * Barbie Horse Adventures Wild Horse Rescue * The Bard's Tale * Bass Pro Shops Trophy Hunter 2007 * Batman Begins * Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu * Battle Engine Aquila * Battlestar Galactica * Big Mutha Truckers * Bionicle * BLACK * Blade II * Blinx: The Time Sweeper * Blinx 2 : Masters of Time&Space * Blitz: The League * Blood Omen 2 * BloodRayne 2 * BlowOut * BMX XXX * Breakdown * Brute Force * Buffy the Vampire Slayer * Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds * Burnout * Burnout 2 * Burnout 3: Takedown * Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures * Cabela's Dangerous Hunts * Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 * Cabela's Outdoor Adventures 06 * Cabela's Deer Hunt 2005 Season * Cabela's Deer Hunt 2004 Season * Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth * Call of Duty: Finest Hour * Call of Duty 2: Big Red One * Call of Duty 3 * Cars * Casino * Catwoman * Championship Manager 2006 * Chicago Enforcer * The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe * Circus Maximus * Close Combat: First to Fight * Colin McRae Rally 4 * Colin McRae Rally 2005 * Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers * Commandos 2: Men of Courage * Conflict: Desert Storm * Conker: Live and Reloaded * Constantine * Counter-Strike * Crash Bandicoot 4 * Crash Bandicoot 5: Wrath of Cortex * Crash Nitro Kart * Crash Twinsanity * Crime Life Gang Wars * Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge * Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon * Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics * Dark Angel * Darkwatch * Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 * The Da Vinci Code * Dead or Alive 3 * Dead or Alive Ultimate * Dead to Rights * Demon Stone * Deathrow * Destroy All Humans! * Digimon Rumble Arena 2 * Dinotopia * DOOM 3 * DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil * Drake * Dreamfall: The Longest Journey * Drive to Survive * Dungeons&Dragons: Heroes * Dynasty Warriors 4 * EA SPORTS Fight Night Round 3 * Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness * The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind * ESPN College Hoops * ESPN College Hoops 2K5 * ESPN Major League Baseball * ESPN MLS ExtraTime 2002 * ESPN NFL 2K5 * ESPN NHL 2K5 * Euro 2004 * Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick * Evil Dead: Regeneration * Ex-Chaser * F1 2001 * Family Guy * Fable * Fable: The Lost Chapters * Fairly Odd Parents: Breakin' da Rules * Fantastic Four * Far Cry: Instincts * Fatal Frame * Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly DIRECTOR'S CUT * FIFA Soccer 06 * FIFA Soccer 07 * FIFA Soccer 2003 * FIFA Soccer 2004 * FIFA STREET * FIFA Street 2 * Fight Night 2004 * Final Fight Streetwise * FlatOut * Ford Mustang * Ford vs. Chevy * Forza Motorsport * Freaky Flyers * Freedom Fighters * Freestyle Street Soccer * Frogger Beyond * Full Spectrum Warrior * Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers * Futurama * Future Tactics: The Uprising * Fuzion Frenzy * Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows * Genma Onimusha * Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde * Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee * Godzilla: Save The Earth * GoldenEye: Rogue Agent * Grabbed by the Ghoulies * Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy * Grand Theft Auto: Vice City * Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas * Gravity Games Bike: Street.

(X-Men Legend) 『I ordered the game for my son and his dad, they seem to be enjoying the game and it works well but I am concerned that my son was able to go onto the website and order the game using my information when he thought I had not ordered it. I have talked to him about not ordering anything without my permission, but what can I do so that no one else gets a hold of my information and uses it in the same fashion my son was able to?』
(Microsoft does it again!) 『Microsoft strikes again! Amazon had this game for $20 cheaper for X-Box than PS2... so I bought the X-Box version. What idiot wouldn't? Well as it turns out I'm the idiot! Microsoft has struck again, as this game is NOT and I repeat NOT supported on X-Box 360, which is probably why it's so much cheaper than the PS2 version on this fine site. My 360 informed me to check Microsoft's site for an update list of playable X-Box games... which hasn't been updated since November 2007.
Bill Gates... you owe me $8.』
(Fun) 『Lots of fun. Lots of Menu time but lots of fun. I would say this is more fun than the first X-Men.』 『X-Men 2 takes everything the first one did wrong and either fixes or scraps it, and then takes everything the first one did right and makes it better! Now, I'm a huge fan of the first one, so I didn't really think there was much wrong with it, but X-Men 2 is so much better!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Call of Cthulhu) 『A great underlying story. Even though this is an older game - it retains the characters and settings that make these games fun to play』
(i've played better, i've played worse) 『i'm a huge lovecraft fan, so when i first played this i was pretty excited. unfortunately, this isn't very scary as it is annoying hard at some points. not in a fun way either, but in a have to play it again and again and again cause you keep making a stupid mistake cause it's not that well made of a game. the controls are alright, but the maps are pretty much garbage, and the worst part of this game is that guys you've killed just regenerate when you go further into the level, which means if you have to go back you've got to kill them again. sometimes that's alright...like in donkey kong country, not something like this.』
(I am Not A Fan Of 1st Person players) 『So far, that i am into it. I do not like the fact that it is 1st person. I find it very annoying. But the effects are creepy, and cool. Love the vibrations. Storyline is cool, and mysterious. But overall disappointed by 1st person character player.』
(great survival game) 『For the price it is a great survival and adventure game.Plays well on xbox 360 too.』
(All that's going for this game is its Lovecraft roots.) 『I saw an ad for this game in an old issue of Game Informer. They advertised First Person action, insanity meter, and of course Cthulhu. I was thinking Doom when I read First Person, Eternal Darkness when I read insanity meter, and "Thank the gods, they finally made a H.P. Lovecraft game!" when I saw the title. All right, turns out to be 2 strikes and one ball. The first person action, well there really isn't any. You spend most of your time running away from creepy villagers, and not in the fun way like in RE4. The insanity meter is pretty bad, no mind-blowing hallucinations like in Eternal Darkness, just a bunch of pounding and blurred vision. Their concept of going insane is my idea of a DWI stop. You really can't screw up the story of Cthulhu, so that bit was all right but done very sloppy. It was as if they had to change the storyline to make the game play better, but really they ruined up the only thing they had going from the start. The details are great and I have spoken with others who absolutely adore the game. A warning to those who aren't into H.P. Lovecraft, you will most likely hate this title. Imagine playing through Silent Hill without getting your first weapon until you're in the hospital. Sounds hard right, yeah well this game is ridiculous when it comes to survival.』 『Dark corners of the Earth is a first-person horror game that combines intense action and adventure elements. You will draw upon your skills in exploration, investigation, and combat while faced with the seemingly impossible task of battling evil incarnate.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (could be better) 『This game was very good but it is to short and lacks a story line really it could have a better story line and better game play but other then that if you like just non stop fighting then this is a great game for you and I suggest buying it.』
(He really likes it) 『This game was a birthday gift for a friend's son. She told me he really likes it and plays it almost every day when he gets home from school. You can't get better than that!』
(Fighting Fever) 『I ordered Soul Calibur II for my husband because he used to own it for dreamcast or something and he loved it. I think that the new soul calibur IV coming out made him want to play II again. Anyway, it was in wonderful condition when it got here, and we play it quite often. My sister likes to come over and we take turns playing. We'll fight against each other and when someone loses they have to pass the controller so two other people can play. It's a fun time. I love unlocking new outfits for the fighters.』
(Simple for beginners, deep enough for veterans) 『Soul Calibur remains one of the best in its genre. The concept utilized in the game is a straight-forward weapon based 3D fighting system, with each character using a unique weapon. The weapons utilized vary from types of swords and daggers to staffs and axes, making it simple to find a particular weapon that suits your style or general preferrence. The combat system is very user-friendly, with a four-button interface (horizontal attack, vertical attack, kick, and guard) to prevent some of the confusion that can occur in more complex fighters (like street fighter or king of fighters). While this simplicity makes this fighter an excellent choice for those new to the genre, it also leads to the most common complaint against the game: the ease with which "button-mashing" can be used. To further frustrate some players, the button-mashing technique can even cause an inexperienced competitor to beat a moderately-experienced individual. Since this is the case, it often takes some practice (as with any fighter) to ensure victory over those less-experienced. However, this is easily overlooked since the game can be played with many people of various skills and all are forced to improve their game, as opposed to simply doing the same thing all the time. I would heartily recommend this game for people who may not dive into more complex fighters, but want something to play with other like-minded friends. I also recommend this game to avid fighter fans, as there are some characters whose techniques are very difficult to utilize correctly (offering a good level of challenge even to experienced players). In my opinion, the Soul Calibur games are the most enjoyable fighters on the market today, and I will continue purchasing the new releases in the future.』
(simply great) 『it was a great product. it had incredible features, great graphics, and it shipped quickly! overall great buy!』 『The quest for the all-powerful sword known as Soul Edge continues in Soulcalibur 2, as old favorites and exciting new characters compete for the right to wield its power. Featuring seven game modes including Arcade, Time Attack, Survival Mode, Versus Mode, and Team Battle.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Fun for Hours) 『I am 11 and I first played this game at a friend's house, and could not stop. I heard that it was not being made anymore. I found it used and new on amazon. it arrived two days later. it is fun for everyone in my family, me, my little sister, my mom, and my dad.』
(The Wrath of Cortex could be better) 『I am a big Crash fan but this game wasn't what I expected for a next-gen sequel to the other PlayStation games. The graphics are pretty bad for an Xbox or GameCube game, and the levels are just a little bigger. It doesn't compete with other games anymore because it has stayed very much the same from the others, which were made in the '90s, even if this has new vehicles and bosses (There is also another unlockable move, which is tip-toeing, I used it once the entire game, and I didn't even need it). Speaking of boss battles, they were frustrating, but still quite fun. So to Crash fans, you will like how this game is more challenging than the other games, but will feel as if you've experienced the game before in its predecessors. However, Traveller's Tales did good in keeping it like the other games even if that became the thing I didn't like about it. It's got a good price, but I think it's only worth a rent to beat it, unless you are a "real" Crash fan and want to get 100% completion. If you're not a Crash fan, don't even bother with it.』
(best platformer on xbox) 『XBOX has a lot of great games but lots of platformers are crap on xbox. lets face it thee trys lately have been awful. blinx the timesweeper whiplash zapper all that crap. thats why crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex is the best. the graphics are stunning. better than the ps2 version. basically the goal in cb woc is to go trough hublevels to get crystals. if you already played a crash bandicoot game you know the drill. there will also be timed relic challenges. and you will have to collect every box in a level to obtain a gem. once you collect every item in the game you can open up a new superworld that will give you another stage of levels. you can tell by the level layout that the developers were really using a lot of creativity. the boss battles are a nice addition. and another way cb woc towers over your mediocre platformer is the difficulty. crash has gotten signifigantly harder. remember how hard the original crash bandicoot was. well this game is even harder than that. so the difficulty is a nice change of pace for the levels. you get new veichles in the game too. a titansuit- you get acess to this veichle in- droid void crate balls of fire and cortex vortex. you also can use a jeep. youll get acess to this veichle in- jungle rumble and smokey and the bandicoot. youll also get acess to a submarine you can use it in- h20 and coral canyon. youll also get a copter pack you can use that in- farehinheit frenzy. you also get a scooter you can use that in- tsunami avalanche. you get a crash glider you use that in- tornado alley that sinking feeling crashstroids 4th boss level. and latly you a spherical moonball which you can use in- bammboozled eskimo roll medevil madness. also cb woc has shorter load times alot shorter load times than the ps2 version. overall with so many horrible platform games on the market. you should buy or at least rent this game.』
(wow) 『are you ready for crash bandicoots best adventure yet. if you answered yes you have to buy this game. it has wonderful eyedazziling graphics huge gameplay advancements and increased difficulty level. there are 30 much larger and much harder to explore worlds plenty of scenery and some of the best boss rounds in a game. crash gets to his disposal 8 new veichles. a spherical rollerball a submarine a firefly plane a jet glider a copter pack a sleek moter scooter and an enormus titan mech suit. all of these veichles are awesome theyre generally used to get out of a level. theres tons of secrets to be unlocked an a new hub world addition. you canget to it after collecting everything in all the levels. crash looks sounds and plays better than ever. if you ask me this is the best platform game on xbox. just think of what is a better mascot blinx the timesweeper or crash bandicoot. crash bandicoots sold millions of copies on psone and now hes proving himself on xbox. forget all the other lame platformers and get crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex.』
(if you have an xbox and like platformers its a no brainer) 『this is a fun game. it has wonderful graphics hard bosses lots of crystal clear envirorements lots of veichles to drive. and captures the oozing sense of crash bandicoot. if you have an xbox and like platformers crash bandicoot woc is a no brainer.』 『MODEL- 71492 VENDOR- VIVENDI FEATURES- Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex First Encounter: Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex lets you take everyones favorite hyperactive orange marsupial on a breakneck run though dozens of wild environments.

ESRB Rating : E for Everyone Genre/Category : Action System : Xbox Number of Players : 1 Compatible Peripheral Features: MANUFACTURER WARRANTY: 90 DAYS』 『Crash Bandicoot, the famous marsupial video-game icon, comes spinning into yet another solid action platform game inCrash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. This is the first true platform game for the Xbox, and is suitable for cartoon-action lovin' fans of all ages.
Evil is at an all-time decline, so Crash's arch-nemesis Dr. Neo Cortex is designing the ultimate weapon: Crunch, the extra-evil-bio-engineered-super-bandicoot! In order to complete Crunch, the good doctor needs more power--the kind of power that only evil, renegade voodoo masks can provide. Enter the Elementals.
Set free by the evil voodoo mask Uka Uka, the Elementals control various aspects of the environment. They are so powerful, and so dangerous, that they almost destroyed the Earth once, and were sealed in special crystals to protect the Earth from certain doom. Uka Uka believes that by harnessing the power of these evil masks, Dr. Cortex will have all the power he needs to complete Crunch, and finally finish off Crash.
So once again Crash returns to his crystal-collecting, box-bashing, bad guy-spinning ways. Can he stop the masks? Will he defeat Crunch? Only time, and your weary game-playing hands, will tell.
The Wrath of Cortexis the hardest game in the series' history. There are 30 levels, seven different vehicles, bonus levels, and a time-trial mode. As you progress through the game, you fight five bosses. Each time you defeat a boss, you unlock a new move (double jump, bazooka, tiptoe, Crash dash, and death tornado). Although the coolest feature is that you get to play as Crash's sister Coco on some levels.
The game is good, but is it perfect? The graphics are solid, but not much of an improvement over the PlayStation2 version--the game definitely doesn't take full advantage of the Xbox's hardware. Also, the long load times for levels can be annoying.Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortexwas not developed by Naughty Dog, the company that started the series. The game, while faithfully following the traditional feel of the series, misses some of the polished quirkiness that Naughty Dog is known for.
Bottom line:The Wrath of Cortexis a great game for all ages, and will give you 40 or more hours of solid gameplay. --Bryan Karsh
Pros:
Play as Coco
Seven vehicles
Fun new moves
Cons:
New developer, new feel--it needs a little getting used to
Long load times
Good, but not great graphics--doesn't really look like an Xbox game
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Rated 'I' for Impossible) 『The game is very, very hard on the Brian levels. They are very frustrating to play and not much fun. Otherwise, the other levels are pretty easy. You will have to play mini-games that are strange. If you succeed on Stewie's mini-games, you will get 10 bullets for his gun which helps sometimes. If you succeed on Brian's mini-games, you will turn invincible for a few seconds, which doesn't really help. If you succeed on Peter's mini-games, you will give Peter more food. Rent rather than buy this game.
Please do not copy this review for use elsewhere on the internet.』
(Fun To Play, But Frustrasting Game Design) 『Fans of the television show will get a kick out of what amounts to an extra full bonus episode of Family Guy, with voices by some actual cast members and cool animation, great jokes and sight gags, and some of those random, non-sequitirs that the show is known for. I do feel that the game is fun enough to recommend, but ONLY if you can find the game for $5.00 (five dollars) or less. Otherwise, you're better off putting that money towards DVDs of the show itself. The problem is that because of the strange thought process the game's designers put into it, you may quickly grow too frustrated to care about getting to the end, to see all of the parts of the bonus episode. (You do get to see segments as you complete pairs of levels, but that's pretty much the only reward for completing the game...) My version is on the original XBox gaming system.
The premise of the game is okay, if not slightly disappointing that while you see many of the show's characters, most don't speak, and you only can play as three of them... But on the bright side, those three are Peter, Stewie, and Brian. You don't get to choose when, but you get to play as all three, as the game is laid out where the levels alternate with a different character. All of Stewie's levels are intellectually based involving strategy, ray guns, minor puzzles, Peter's levels are fun fighting/brawlfests, and Brian's are all stealth missions, where you have to hide and sneak around. While Peter's and Stewie missions are a blast, the problem is that Brian's levels are the hardest and not remotely as fun as Peter's or Stewie's to warrant being that difficult. Peter and Stewie's levels are the type you hope will never end and they feel like they go by too soon, whereas Brian's levels feel like a punishment, or a deep level of purgatory. And this is where the trouble with the game really becomes transparent.
If you get stuck and/or bored with one of Brian's levels (which 9 out of 10 of you are sure to do), you're out of luck, as you'll need to complete his level before you can go back to a Peter or Stewie level. If you die, even when you've collected most of what Brian has to collect, you still have to start the level again and do the same exact things over and over again. Unlike Peter and Stewie's levels where you can move in many different directions to accomplish the mission of the level, Brian's levels pretty much require you to follow the same path you've done already, if you have to restart that level. So unless you have a severe case of OCD, or are a major fan of masochism, this repetition may leave you wanting to turn off the game; never to return.
This also leads to the second major problem: There are no game save features and no multi-player options, not even the ability to create different player profiles so that friends or family can try without messing up your progress. This is completely ridiculous for a game based on a show with such a strong, religious fanbase. No more than one player at a time?!? On the surface, this seems not to be a big deal... until you play the game and get locked into Brian Purgatory. Say you have enough of that nonsense, decide to take a break, turn off the game and return, when you come back, the game WILL remember where you left off, BUT if you or anyone else should start up a NEW game before you've beat the game... your previous game and all the headaches you went through will be WRITTEN OVER, ERASED, GONE FOR GOOD. Otherwise, if like me, you have more than one Family Guy fanatic in the house... you either are going to have to take turns on levels with the same controller, or one of you is never going to get to play until the other one has finished every single level of the game.
I got about halfway through the game, in a couple of days, before I threw in the towel. I may take another crack at it, just because I really liked the Peter and Stewie levels, would love to see the whole episode, and would love to make it to the Peter vs. The Chicken level... but again, the Brian parts and the setup of this game are maddening. I would think that designers of a game based on a beloved Animated Fox show would have learned lessons from the even more frustrating Futurama video game that was released some years ago. Family Guy The Video Game could have been, as Peter would say, "Frickin' Sweet!," but instead the game designers made some really poor, lazy choices in basic game design that make it difficult even for a die-hard Family Guy fan like myself to laugh more than curse the screen. This is a game that had the potential to be enjoyed by groups or pairs of people at one time, but instead, they've made it frustrating for even one person to get through.
Let's hope another, improved Family Guy game is released. But unless that happens, it's not a good idea to spend more than a few dollars on this one, because let's face it... even if you make it through to the end... you're not likely to want to play it again and again, nor will people watching you play be likely to want to give it a try.』
(Family Rocks and so does the game! =)) 『This is the best game! if u like family u frikin love this so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 』
(If you like family guy, you will like this game.) 『Great game, delivered on time.』
(Not worth the cost) 『This game may be some what entertaining, but Brian's parts are really hard to get past unless you look them up on the internet. I beat this game in five days, and you don't get anything special once you beat it. You would be better off renting this game than paying $30 for something you will only play for a week.』 『Family Guy lets you control the kind of over-the-top action you'd see in the popular cartoon. Play through three stories that intersect in typical Family Guy fashion. Be Stewie and match wits against his brother and arch-nemesis Bertram as they vie to take over the world. Take control of Peter and fight to stop Mr. Belvedere who he thinks is trying to take over the world. Slip on a collar and down a martini as Brian attempt to escape prison and prove your innocence in a puppy parental case gone awry. Family Guy wouldn't be complete without the random funny things, satirizing pop-culture, that jump out and seemingly have no place in the flow of the story - now you can actually play them!』

(Have to play crappy RPG to get all the characters) 『You have to play a very boring and slow RPG to unlock all the characters, I have not been able to find any cheats. I bought the game for the fights not to run around and talk to people.』
(Best MK game ever!) 『I prefer this version of MK over anything I have seen on XBOX or any other platform!』
(as MK as Mortal Kombat can be) 『Mortal Kombat Deception has perhaps the best combination of the classic MK and expanded on every level. Several of the original fighters are present (Sub-Zero and Scorpion included) and newer fighters, with surprises throughout the game. The Konquest game follows the early adventures of Shujinko and encounters several fighters of the MK universe and attaining experience. Well designed and a lot to encounter. Not an easy game but fun, without question.』
(one of the best mk games yet but with its own bugs) 『this game is easily better than any of its predecessers from earlier systems.all of the really hard stuff from back in the day has been put in here with minimal work by the player.like the weopons can be brought out with only 2 clicks.there are also multiple fighting styles each with 4 new attacks.so in short you have 3 fighting styles times 4 attacks per,thats 12 very devastating yet easy attacks to hit.heres where it gets icky.being as how there are a lot of easy to hit moves,there are a bunch of even harder cool moves to do.these are not necessary and require a deal of luck to actualy perform.another cool addition is environmental kills.at any time during a fight you can toss a guy say into acid or off a hill if they are positioned right.the real pain in the thumbs is that you only start with one third of all the obtainable characters.the others are winnable in adventure mode.i cant even get past the first level to get them.so,if you just want to bust some people up,this is your game!if you are ocd about be all you can be,then good luck.you'll need it.its your only hope.』 『Mortal Kombat®: Deception™ delivers the deepest fighting game ever with the lethal intensity that helped establish the Mortal Kombat® franchise as the ultimate fighting game of all time!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Tons of Fun) 『My boys are 6 and 4. The 3 of us play together and we just have a blast. There are so many characters to choose from, so many moves that each can do. You can master one character and then still have 19 others you haven't touched.
As you play each character builds strength, and earns or unlocks more moves. So you want to play them all to earn what they can do.
We play it for nearly an hour every day we have so much fun with it. We have been playing for months and it is still fun. Best game we have played yet. There isn't any blood or gore that would prevent me from allowing my children to play.』
(Absolutely brilliant for Marvel Maniacs) 『This is definitely one of the greatest games i have ever played. But...the key thing i would like to note is that i played this game entirely with some cousins and friends. And when i played it myself...i would definitely say that it is lots of fun when playing with others because of the combos you can do together...a.i. is always off. It has a great range of characters to play with and has a phenomenal lasting plot/story. I played it several of times with many different characters and never got tired because of the seemingly endless array of possibilities with buying upgrades and abilities of the different characters. Buy this game if you are a Marvel maniac or if you want a game similar to Xmen legends 1/2, or want to know how the first game was before the second one came out. I can't wait for the second Ultimate alliance to come out this September, but until then I will remain a true Marvel maniac and replay this game in its entirety.』
(Good game) 『This is a pretty fun game. It plays pretty much the same as Justice League:Heroes, which can get a little repetetive, but it's still a good game to pass the time with. The in-game graphics are excellent for an older generation console, and the cinematics are really good as well.』
(Solid, if not spectacular) 『I'm a big Marvel fan, so I found a lot to enjoy about this game; there are tons of characters here, some more obscure than others, as well as some fan favorites that should always be available (Deadpool, anyone?). The gameplay is fun, but probably best in small doses. For me, the combat can get a little repetitive; sure, you can switch out characters to make things more interesting, but the game really rewards you for keeping a core of the same team members (a rep bonus, passive team ability boosts, etc).
I haven't finished it yet, but I am enjoying it; my only major gripe would be that the story seems kind of watered down. This could be in part because the lack of a set of constant protagonists can make it difficult to get fully invested in what story there is, but the content itself also seems kinda weak. These are just my impressions so far; they might change as I continue playing. All in all though, it's a very worthwhile game, fun to play with friends, and the price makes it well worth picking up.』
(MARVEL IN A BOX) 『PURE AND SIMPLE FUN! I had this game for the PC and I'm even thinking about getting a PSP Marvel Ultimate Allianceversion of it. It is THAT good. I'm a MARVEL fan but i'm also an avid gamer and when you get a chance to play as ANY of more than 20 super-heroes , each one with his/her own set of Powers AND many unlockable outfits...you just have to add this to your collection. And as you play along with friends you know that this game is going to be remembered for giving you a sense of exitement you never felt ever again since you and your big brother were kids playing with action figures.
This game is a must-have for any MARVEL fan. Pure and simple.』 『Marvel Ultimate Alliance Xbox』

(Steep learning curve but great CG) 『This game is tough. It is so frustrating once you start. After a while you realize you just need to keep moving. A lot of fun. The graphics in game and during the cut scenes (especially the cut scenes) are phenomenal. I love the fact that you can decapitate people! It's about time a sword fighting game had the balls to let you do that.』
(wait, look there, no wait!! now back!! look back!!, ok....wait, FRONT!!) 『...and you have your review for this masterpiece of a failure. Why is it a failure? The camera angles are the absolute worst I've ever experienced. How would you like to be in a battle with hardly any life left, and out of nowhere someone jacks you in the back because the back of your player is 2 inches from the bottom of the screen, so you can't see jack? I don't suppose you'd like that at all. You turn around, hear a ninja coming behind you, and you can't turn around quick enough because the camera has you by the cojones. You better hope your facing the right direction to began with, or you'll spend 5 seconds trying to fixate the camera angle so you can see. Horrible. Oh, but the graphics are good...』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Classic Xbox Game) 『While Shenmue 2 never sold well on the Xbox,it sold quite a lot on the DC. This was due to people being outraged that a completed DC game got canceled at literally the last minute and moved over onto the Xbox for a North American release (Shenmue 2 was supposed the DC very last game,think of it as going out with a bang) So a majority of people ignored the Xbox version completely and imported the English subbed PAL version. Anyway enough with the history lesson on with the review.
Shenmue 2 takes place right after the events of Shenmue 1. Shenmue 1 only contained 1 chapter of the Shenmue universe whereas Shenmue 2 contains 3 chapters. One thing that people will notice right away is that there was a whole chapter dedicated to the ship but it is only mentioned in the game near the beginning in one sentence (you can unlock a few books that tell you what happened on the ship) A nice touch that was done for Xbox owners who purchased the game was that Sega decided to included a 1hr 30min DVD on the events of Shenmue (it's just a DVD with every cut scene in the game). I can tell you right now if you didn't like Metal Gear Solid because of all the story telling. Then Shenmue 2 is not for you,it is basically just an interactive movie. I found that there was not as much fighting as the back of the box makes out to be.
The graphics of Shenmue 2,while beefed up a bit for the Xbox,Shows it was essentially a straight port from the Dreamcast with a few extra features added in,there is now a camera option in the game witch lets you take pictures of people in the game to unlock a whole lot of stuff.
Overall Shenmue 2 is a great game if its your kind of thing. Its just very sad that we are most likely going to be stuck with the cliffhanger ending that ended Shenmue 2.』
(A Must Buy) 『If you liked the first Shenmue, then you will love Shenmue II. The story line is more detailed, and the gameplay is quick and interactive. There are a lot of mini games to play to keep you busy, and the fighting system can get used to at first, but you will kick butt once you get the hang of it. It is a must buy if you loved the first shenmue.』
(The game takes a considerable amount of patience, but it's well worth it.) 『From the makers of the virtuafighter series and many other SEGA classics comes Shenmue II, a sequel for its SEGA Dreamcast predecessor which made gaming history. The game boasts a solide back story and many RPG elements that were pretty revolutionary in their time. The games fighting system is based on the origional fighting engine of the virtuafighter games, but it also involves reacting in a 3D environment. This inturn makes fighting groups of four or more a bit difficult. The game tries to make up for it with an evade/counter/block button, but useing even that takes patience, a good deal of practice, and near perfect timing. Granted once you've mastered the timing, it does make each combo and counter attack that much more satisfiing. Again, the back story is excellent, but there's alot of diolog to listen to, and you're limited to how much you can practice your moves outside of battle. More than anything, this game is trying to tell a good story; so have patience and try to enjoy it for what it is.』
(SHENMUE YES!!!!!!!!!) 『This game is really cool, but I was a little upset because at the end of the game it said TO BE CONTINUED. How sad :(』
(Shenmue rocks) 『I personally love this series. I played Shenmue for the dreamcast and enjoyed being able to run around Japan to search for clues. Shenmue 2 starts in Hong Kong. I enjoyed running from place to place getting part time jobs, playing the street gambling games,etc. This game is not just all running around and games but you also get to use your karate to defeat people in your way. But even if you do not want to complete the game there are many side quests and games to play such as arm wrestling. If you do not like games where you have to sit down and think about where to go then I would not recommend this for you. But if you like solving mysteries and beating up the bad guys, I would recommend this game.
The only disappointment is that it looks like Shemnue 3 will never be released.』 『Shenmue IIis an epic adventure with all the elements of a great movie--drama, mystery, suspense, and action–-and offers a unique gameplay experience that seamlessly blends elements of action, adventure, fighting, and role-playing games. InShenmue II, players assume the role of Ryo Hazuki, a young man dedicated to the task of tracking his father's murderer and unlocking the mysteries of the Phoenix Mirror.Shenmue IIcontinues whereShenmueleft off and brings Ryo to Hong Kong with many questions still unanswered as he follows the trail of Lan Di, the man who killed his father.』
