Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Magnum Opus of the NFS racing engine on Xbox) 『The masterpiece that has evolved from Underground to Most Wanted finds its peak in Need for Speed: Carbon for the Xbox console. The racing engine driving this game is perfect. It is the best street-racing engine on the Xbox.』
(Need for speed Carbon) 『Ladies, your man will just adore you for this one!! lol If you don't mind him gaming!! lol I've been able to shop more....lmao thanks to this one!』
(Need for speed, lack of detail) 『This is my second Need for Speed game, the first was NfS Underground 2. The graphics for racing are much better in this game, but you do not get the control over what you add to the car like you did in the previous versions. However the cop chases are great.』
(need speed?) 『This was one of those Christmas gifts that my husband wanted that I couldn't find anywhere. It isn't easy finding regular X-BOX games. I found it here on Amazon and at a great price. I couldn't pass this deal up. He has other racing games and had a blast the first time he played this Need for Speed Carbon. He said that the graphics and sound were better than his other games. I received it quickly and it was exactly what I ordered.』
(Excellent game - very cool - few complaints) 『I've become addicted to the NFS series in the last 8 months since buying a used original XBOX. NFS Carbon does what many of the other NFS games do - open up a whole different type of world for a racing game. The ability to move freely around the city, as with the other games, is excellent. And learning to work with a teammate (even the AI one) is pretty cool.
The only part I didn't appreciate was the custom/modification options. I'm not much of a visual mod guy, and it would have been nice to have had some more explanation as to how some of the custom mods would help. Also, after playing NFSU2, I miss being able to fine tune, as NFSC offers only limited tuning options. But these are all preference issues. Great game. Highly recommended!』 『What starts in the city is settled in the canyons as Need for Speed Carbon immerses you into the world's most dangerous and adrenaline-filled form of street racing. You and your crew must race in an all-out war for the city, risking everything to take over your rivals' neighborhoods one block at a time. As the police turn up the heat, the battle ultimately shifts to Carbon Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every perilous curve. Need for Speed Carbon delivers the next generation of customization giving you the power to design and tweak your crew's cars in every way using the ground-breaking new Autosculpt technology. Represent your car class, your crew, and your turf in Need for Speed Carbon, the next revolution in racing games.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Creepy doesn't cut it) 『When I first saw this game, I thought, "Oh, hey, it looks pretty creepy. I think I'll check it out." Little did I know that it would be FAR beyond just creepy. The ghosts in this game pump scary little Japanese girls to the max, and, though I've not had a nightmare from it so far, I'm always making sure to turn on enough lights in the house.
The unique gameplay and "fighting" strategy makes the game interesting. Instead of using a gun, sword, or whatever, you use a... camera? Hilarious, but all the while enhances the oddly frightening sensation. The camera angles make you feel anxious and antsy, unsure of where somethings going to pop out, and the dark tones really set the ominous mood.
The only thing I don't like are the controls for walking/running. It can be hard to direct the girls in the direction you want, and sometimes, when they start running in one direction, they feel the need to run into a wall before turning.
Other than that, it's a wonderfully addictive game that will leave weird images stuck in your head for hours.』
(This beats Silent Hill) 『The first time through this game kept me on edge and made me afraid to look around every corner. The game play takes a little bit to get used to but aside from that this game is just a blast. Especially when you make your friends play it who are scared of their own shaddow.』
(Probably the most interesting horror game ever made...) 『The Fatal Frame franchise is unique in the survival horror genre. This particular game has a beautiful, yet intensely creepy environment coupled with a completely engaging story. The game is terrifying without ever resorting to flat-out violence, since, like its predecessor, no weapons are ever used by the player character. It is a great concept - you are a girl with a camera creeping quietly through a haunted village where something terrible once happened. As the story unfolds and a clearer picture emerges of the exact nature of that terrible happening, one comes to appreciate the masterful craftsmanship of the game designer.
Fatal Frame 2 is a very immersive game. The look of the environment is exceptionally detailed and faithful, making you feel as if you have stepped back in time to a rural Japanese village. The sounds in this game are out of this world, creating an air of suspense and dread that is unparalleled in its genre. The ghosts appear out of nowhere, their actions and whispers giving clues to the dark truths of this once-prosperous community. When the climactic moment comes, you will be on the edge of your seat, mouth open and hands clenched. The story sticks with you, exploring themes of community duty, familial piety and the lengths to which people will go to protect their way of life.
Play it. Turn off the lights, turn up the sound and get ready to be really frightened.』
(WOW!!!!!) 『My fiancee is playing this game right behind me and I can't stop jumping. Turn the surround sound up and hear the dead people whispering"I'm dead". You will almost pee your pants when these people jump out at you!! Heart racing game. This is the most eerie game I have ever played. It seems to be even scarier than most scary movies. The graphics are VERY good on this game too.』
(Great game in every aspect) 『I recently purchased this game and since I started playing it, it is hard to stop playing. It delivers excellent scares to me and the people that are even just sitting in the room with me. Excellent interface and controls make this an easy game to control. Very fun game for a group of people to play, or playing alone. The game has great depth and really makes it feel real. Turn out the lights, turn up the sound and have a GREAT time.』 『The Xbox version of Tecmo's horror game contains a number of special features and modes that promise to scare you even more than the original. Fatal Frame II tells the story of two twins as they unravel the mystery of a deserted village. The plot is moved along through creepy cut scenes with a fast and deliberately choppy editing style. The only thing between the twoms and the unfriendly spirits they encounter is a dusty camera that has the power to release the trapped souls of ghosts (and essentially works like a ghost gun). Gamers are rewarded with higher scores for taking better pictures of their assailants based on range and framing. This creates a tension between getting as close to the subjects as possible without being touched. The camera is fully upgradeable with special types of film and several features that gamers can improve upon like zooming and sensitivity.
New first-person shooter mode Experience even more realistic and chilling gameplay; new survival mode fend off multiple ghosts at one time; camera obscura enjoy expanded features for the game's unique camera weapon; and more new ghosts and costumes as well as enhanced graphics and sound add to the game's chilling intensity.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Best XBOX game i've played!) 『Best XBOX game i've played! It really is a fun game. Love to play it with the kids!』
(Crappy game) 『The physics of this game is very unrealistic but it is quite entertaining to see the takedowns that you had done. This game is very unrealistic. If you want something that is realistic, try Forza or Burnout Paradise since the physics are much more realistic and much more realism in it.』
(Must Have for Xbox Owners..) 『i played this game on xbox 360 and liked it...but for some reason, i LOVE it on the original xbox. its fast...fun...the areas you race in are beautiful and long..the graphics are excellent for the xbox...this is THEE racing game for the xbox, hands down, no other racing game can stack up, not even Burnout Paradise. nothing else i can say really, you just need to own this now..
iLL .』
(One of my favorite XBox titles ever) 『I have had this game for a long time and recently purchased another to replace an over-used original copy. It's a great game and one of my favorites of all time.』
(Better than it's predecessor?) 『Burnout: Revenge is the fourth [4th] Burnout game that has been released [not counting the ones on handheld portable gaming consoles], and is also the first one to be released on a "next-gen" console [the Xbox360]. In Revenge, the Burnout series takes a small step away from it's bright colors and light-hearted theme towards a more mature, grittier one [see: the darker/edgier soundtrack, as compared with the ones in previous Burnouts], and also adds new types of takedowns [for instance, the Vertical Takedown, accomplished when the player lands his car on top of a rival's] along with new racing modes [i.e.: Traffic Attack, where your objective is to keep the clock running by smashing ["checking"] traffic on the road, until you reach a specified dollar amount in damages to get a bronze, silver, or gold medal]. Obviously, new cars, along with new tracks are added. I don't recommend this game [or any of the Burnout series] to beginning gamers, as the sheer speed of the cars racing along tracks along with you, combined with the amount of mayhem that goes on around you, can be overwhelming. The Xbox [original, not the 360] version I bought looks absolutely stunning, and I'm frankly surprised the machine can handle so many things going on at once.
My ratings:
Gameplay [controls, fun factor, ease of use]: 9/10 Graphics: 10/10 Sound: 10/10 Lasting Appeal: 8/10
Overall: 9/10』 『Electronic Arts Burnout Revenge for Xbox Burnout Revenge lets gamers rip through rush hour traffic and lay waste to scores of rubbernecking roadhogs in an over-the-top scene of vehicular mayhem. The game is currently in development by Criterion Games for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Incredible game!) 『I could not help but buy this when I heard it had a release on Xbox. Yes, it's backwards compatible with the 360 which makes the purchase even sweeter for those of you who like Street Fighter. It comes with SSFII and SFIII: Third Strike. I care much for Street Fighter II because I play Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on live but the big purchase is Street Fighter III: Third Strike. I definitely recommend it since it's the best Street Fighter game in my opinion if you are looking to get away from Street Fighter IV for a while. Lots of replayability, classic characters, sweet music, and versus/online play. I wish I had found this sooner.』
(Don't buy if you can't play with friends) 『Street Fighter is a series that I once avoided, but have recently opened up to. It's a game that rewards perfection, both mentally and physically. The players who play it are either new or hardcore. If you have patience, it will reward you. The graphics were top-notch in the time it was released. The music is a catchy urban rap. The voices of the characters are still the same iconic voices you've remembered since SF2.
The game offers over 20 characters, from the African dancer Elena to the massive wrestler Hugo. There are many styles of fighting and variations of a style too. Not all characters have returned however. Overall, it's a large line-up, but there is an unbalance of the characters.
The singleplayer affair is typical and expected. You fight your way through a dozen stages and fight a boss at the end. In between levels, there are bonus levels where you break a car or parry balls. The final boss, as usual with Capcom games, is over-the-top and has moves that can take off half of your life. It feels like a cheap way to continue playing.
The heart of the game lies in its gameplay. You'll throw moves left and right in order to damage your enemies. Your opponent will do the same. It really depends on how well you can adapt. If your opponent is constantly blocking, you should approach them with blocks. If they are jumping, do an anti-air attack. The gameplay of SF is essentially countering as well as launching moves to dwindle the life of your opponent.
That's great, but the key to this game is not in the singleplayer. You can forget what I just wrote above if you are just going to play it by yourself. The game truly comes out with multiplayer. The AI simply does not learn, nor adapt. The value of this game lies on the possibility that you can play this online or with a friend. And even then, it would be best if the skill level of your opponents were aligned with yours. There is online play, but matches can take minutes to find and lag is to be had.
SF2 and the movie is thrown in there as well. It's a classic to some, but the AI is extremely difficult, even on easy. If you want to take it old-school, this would be the place to start. The balance of the game is still the same, so Sagat is the best and glitches can be performed. I personally did not like the confusing character selection screen that has you choosing which edition of SF2 you want your character to be from. I would have rather had a stream-lined menu that Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix has.
So again, SFAC has the possibility of being a great game, but the two requirements are that you have someone to play it with and that this person is as good as you are. Otherwise, it might be best to invest in a singleplayer game, or a multiplayer game that has a light learning curve.』
(Street Fighter Anniversary Collection) 『Reliving the glory days literally. Hours upon hours of enjoyment. Well done to Capcom and Microsoft for this fantastic trip down memory lane...』
(Sweet!!!) 『This game is an arcade perfect port. Works perfect in the X-Box 360. Highly recommend!!!!』

In fact it is one of the best games I have ever played period. The gameply is simple and the story is excellent. This is a must have for any XBOX owner』
(ONE OF THE BEST FANTASY ADVENTURES ON THE XBOX YOU NEVER PLAYED 9.5 OUT OF 10) 『I really don't understand why Sega only really ever does re-releases for Genesis titles, yet completely ignores the plethora of classic Saturn and Dreamcast titles which are waiting patiently to be resurrected. The Panzer Dragoon series was born on the Saturn, and did not resurface again until Orta was released on the Xbox, where the franchise, along with many others would die. This game did not sell very well, mostly over the fact it was hardcore, and did not reach out to a broader Xbox audience. And let's be honest, this game is bust-your-balls hard. WHAT THE GAME IS: The follow-up to the classic Saturn franchise comes to life on the Xbox as a gorgeous on-rails shooter (Think Starfox, if you don't know what I mean by that term), with an amazing fantasy backdrop that no Xbox game can compare to. You play as a girl named Orta who was kept imprisoned because she is basically a war machine that the empire is trying to capture. When the village she is imprisoned at is attacked, a mysterious dragon rescues her, and from then on it serves as your form of transportation and your war machine. So you fly to different locations and try to discover the secrets of your past. GRAPHICS: Old, and dated, but they really milk Xbox for all its got with its vast environments, plethora of enemies on-screen, many explosions, and more. It was real eye-candy when it released those six years ago. MUSIC: It fits, and it's nice, but I expected a little more from a fantasy title. SOUND: Explosions, decent voice-acting, even with the made-up language in the game. That's right, the game has its own language. GAMEPLAY: The game is very difficult, do not make the mistake I did and put it even on normal because there are ten missions in the game and they're pretty damn hard (Hope you played a lot of Starfox at least). The controls work great, and are what you'd probably expect. It can be a little difficult to avoid obstacles sometimes, but the bosses are the things you want to worry about. Also worth mentioning, if you play up to five hours or beat the game you unlock the original Panzer Dragoon game because there is a crapload of stuff to unlock. OVERALL: An amazing game that you never played, shame on you. But maybe it was because of the punishing difficulty and unfair save system (be warned) or perhaps you owned a PS2 instead of an Xbox and this game is an Xbox exclusive. THE GOOD: An amazing on-rails shooter set in a wonderful fantasy backdrop, good controls, challenging gameplay, decent graphics. THE BAD: Punishing difficulty, unfair save system (WHY?!). PANZER DRAGOON (SATURN, PC, ARCADE) SCORE: 9 OUT OF 10 One nice feature hidden in Panzer Dragoon Orta is you can unlock the original classic if you beat the game or have five hours of recorded gameplay data. The original game is quite beautiful and mesmerizing and I was amazed by it. WHAT THE GAME IS: A space shooter similar to Starfox, though not quite as good. A mysterious blue armored dragon is being chased by another dragon, and when the rider is shot, he flies down towards a guy who was just so happened to witness what happened and gives him the duty to ride the dragon to a specific location before he dies in front of you. So you ride the dragon, shoot things, and accomplish you goals. GRAPHICS: This game came from an old 32-bit system and relatively looks bad, even compared to the original Playstation which was also a 32-bit system. But when I played the game my eyes lit up and I loved the graphics and environments no matter how ugly they were. Cutscene graphics were impressive however. MUSIC: Feels a little cheesy, and out of place, but relatively good. SOUNDS: Shooting, explosions, characters speaking the bizarre language featured in the game. GAMEPLAY: Playing this port of the game, the controls are a little confusing and difficult at first but easy most of the time. This game is surprisingly easy in comparison to Panzer Dragoon Orta and I was able to defeat bosses pretty quickly. OVERALL: Impressive, even by today's standards. Now I definitely want a Saturn, but the question is; Do I buy the Saturn or the PS2 first? Saturn for the Panzer Dragoon games? Or do I buy the PS2 for RPG Maker and Resident Evil 4? Someone help me decide. THE GOOD: Good shooting gameplay, and it still feels like a classic. THE BAD: Ugly graphics, confusing controls.』
(A classic onrails shooter that now works with the XBox 360...) 『...what more could you want!
This is a classic and beautiful game - this is for those of you who appreciate games like Rez, Psychonauts, Beyond Good&Evil - or any criminally overlooked games.』
(the best game on the xbox) 『panzer dragon orta was by far one of the most gorgeous video games i have ever played an my life the graphics are ahead of its time gameplay is perfect stoyline good the ony thing i heated was the subtitles and the difficulty of the game if you loved the sega saturn verison you will loved the xbox verison』
(Not so much a game but a test of your frustration...) 『This game requires a great great great deal of patience. The environment's graphics are eye catching. You play Orta who escapes from a prison where you were kept not for crimes but as a weapon to be used in future wars. This escape leads to a chase through different lands battling the Empire trying to recapture you. The game is a rail game in that the direction of motion is already chosen like a roller coaster. Your job is to dodge and destroy the enemy with the drone at your disposal. There are 10 long levels with bosses at each levels. The frustration comes in that any mode the game is in is not easy. You can make it up to and pass the boss but if you don't finish the level you either have to start ALL over again at the beginning of the level or if your lucky at the boss. This may or may not be a good thing since you start with the life points at the level you entered with. No whole new life so if you're barely alive you might as well restart the level. The other problem I have with this game is that if you do get to the boss and have to leave to do errand or homework there's no saving AT the boss. You either have to keep the box on or start the level all over again. Changing dragon modes takes practice but my next gripe regards control response after trasforming to the desired dragon especially from Heavy wing to Glide Attack. There's a lag in that you can't glide for 3-4 seconds after tranforming and this has nothing to do with the regeneration bar. I've played video games sinces 1976. This game is way difficult and not recommended for little kids. You will get blisters on your fingers from firing and transforming. There are subtitles and the characters speak an unfamilar language. The movies can be skipped by pressing "start". There are lots of "Easter eggs" in the game. The real bad thing about this is it's replayability. I'm presently on Level 4 (Normal) and after all the levels are done I WON'T be playing this game any more. There's just no way I'lll take that trip again. It's like Boot Camp. You'll do it once and don't want to do it ever again!!!』 『Panzer Dragoon: Ortais a quintessential action game with deceptively simple gameplay. You ride on the back of a flying dragon, blasting enemies and incoming missiles while your scaly friend soars along a predetermined path through gorgeous fantasy landscapes. Floating power-ups serve as tasty rewards to players who are particularly apt at dishing out carnage. Gigantic boss monsters make regular appearances, each one challenging the player to decipher the particular boss's attack pattern and weak points.
While its core gameplay is the very definition of old school,Panzer Dragon: Ortais much more than a shooter on rails. The dragon that Orta rides can shift into three forms: light, medium, and heavy. Success depends on a player's ability to quickly shift between forms in order to take advantage of the particular abilities of each. The medium form is useful in most situations. The light form is fast and maneuverable, ideal for quickly shooting down swarms of projectiles or attaining a favorable tactical position. The heavy form presents a slow, big target, but sports the most damaging weapons in the game. The shape-shifting aspect adds depth to the game, especially considering that each form can be upgraded with power-ups and enables a unique special ability.
Clever shifting strategy and a sharpshooter's eye earn a player much more than victory and power-ups. Skilled players are rewarded with extras such as passages of Panzer Dragoon fiction, concept sketches, additional playable characters, extra missions, and even the originalPanzer Dragoongame from 1995. The goodies celebrate the rich history of the Panzer Dragoon series, and fill in the background of the game's unfolding story.
The story is worthy of praise. The game tells the tale of Orta, a young woman who is freed from lifelong imprisonment at the beginning of the game by a wondrous shape-shifting drag』

You play as Orta as she and her dragon blast their way through an oppressive empire's legions of soldiers and bioengineered monsters, all the while seeking the truth behind Orta's imprisonment and destiny.
Disappointingly, the genuinely interesting story is told through subtitles instead of spoken English. Subtitles would be fine for slow sections or noninteractive cutscenes, butOrta's text is displayed during pitched battles. The frantic pace and constant action demand the player's full attention, making it difficult to read text when you're desperately gunning down 20 incoming missiles while dodging around a cliff wall and trying to draw a bead on a flying battleship's weak point. In other words: the game is so good, you shouldn't be forced to take your eyes off the action for even a second.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Return to Castle Wolfenstin on Xbox) 『This is a Great shooter Game, Really good I injoyed it a lot, I am looking forward to the Wolfenstin Game coming out in the first of part of Aug, 2009 on Xbox360. super Good!』
(Darwin, you liar!!!) 『From the time I first had a buddy show me Wolf-3D on his PC, I was hooked. FPS is most definitely the best gaming I know of. Where else can you take out your frustrations of everyday life by wholesale killing, all the time yelling, "take that (insert favorite obscenity here)!!!!".
The answer: Nowhere, unless you want to end up in prison for life doing "favors" for cigarettes, or in a mental institution, weaving baskets with your toes while wearing a straight jacket.
So, do yourself a favor. Put down that assualt rile, save yourself a couple grand and go to you local electronics place, buy a game console and some FPS games. This one is a great one and I highly recommend it.
Hey, it even has a "kick" button, so you get to break things, too. I mean, hell yeah! Killing AND breaking stuff?!?!? Does it get any better? I submit that it does NOT (sorry for stealing your joke, Brian Regan).
"Why the review title?" you ask? Well, this game has so many different moves you can do that it literally uses every available item on the game controller and some even have more than one function if used with another. And believe me, at times, you can do some really cool things and used most of them at the same time....so, the fingers you were born with just aren't enough. Darwin stated that all creatures have the potential for evolution to meet certain needs or changes? Well, liar liar, pants on fire! I have played this game for hours, willing with all my might for extra fingers to sprout so I can become the best Wolfenstein gamer in the universe..and hopefuly fingers that aren't stupid lik ethe ones I have which keep changing weapongs while I'm fighting, instead of the "kick" button like I told them to.
But, that's a story for another day.....
All in all, this game is freaking great and if you are an FPS fan, you will not regret the purchase once.
Even Brian Regan might be playing it right now, killing in a blood lust, screaming, "take that, davezilla, you f$%king joke stealer!!!!"』
(mediocre ugly port) 『Wolfenstein is a legendary frachise. First appearing on Apple before the time of the Mac...then Atari, DOS, Commodore64...ID software picked up the ball and Wolfenstein 3D became one of the first FPS (first person shooters)...leading into Doom, Quake, and the rest is history.
Tides of War is an incredibly ugly, flat, lifeless, colorless and borish game. The graphics relative to other xbox games of it's era simply do not measure up. Very dissapointing.
Quake3 Engine. Not the best.』
(Wolfenstein Faithful Disappointed) 『Ok, I played Wolfenstein way back in the day and loved it. I was thrilled with the prospect of reliving the good old days on my XBox.
Imagine my disappointment when I played this game. This has no intriguing plot like the original, the graphics are sloppy, the controls are almost "Dead to Rights" terrible, and the only good point of the game is the weapons.
Apparently, the designers got lazy, then decided to market this waste of space based on a name and some updated weapons. Leave this one on the rack, especially if you are expecting something worthy of the Wolfenstein brand.』
(This game rocks) 『I have played this game on my PC and bought it for Xbox. The PC version pales in comparison. The introduction in the game explains a lot more on Xbox than the PC version. Some sections will irritate you and take you a while to get out of. The graphics are amazing, the story line is beliveable. The story line I love because, most games don't have little movies or any at all. The weapon varity is excellent. Some weapons I used more than others. Hey, I don't want to give away a lot.』 『Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War brings the XBox gamer unrivaled shooting action, as you battle Nazi soldiers&a mad scientist's creations, behind enemy lines during World War II!

(get this game) 『This game is the end all racing game,i dont even normally like racing games because all you do is floor it and win.With this game that isn't always a good ide.It requires actual skil.Anyone who gives this game bad reviews is someone who has just picked up the controller and started playing.You have to master drifting around corners and how to use your speed.This game kicks butt!Go get it right now, I mean, look at at the price!』
(Rallisport Challenge Rocks) 『When I first picked up the controller for this game, I was terrible. I flew off the mountain curves, ran into signs, and often found my car just rolling around on the ground; yet it was fun! Many people I hear prefer "Colin McRae 3" for the simulation factor and I recently had the opportunity to test it out. I thought it was fine, but the controls weren't what I wanted. Also it felt much slower paced. Rallisport Challenge is a fast paced thrill ride which sends you from icey roads to downhill mountain tracks. I constantly find myself getting faster and faster in each track. Drifting and power sliding is essential, this isn't just a grip driving game. And if the controls do bother you, (it tends to be sensative, which is why I like it) you can always tweak it to your liking. It has deadzone and sensativity options. The graphics are top notch too for a game that's roughly 2 years old now. I just bought a new video card (AIW 9800 Pro) and it has further enhanced the realism of this game. I highly recommend this game for rally enthusiasts or just anyone who likes racing games in general.』
(Great Racing Game) 『Rallisport Challenge is a top notch racing game. It's challenging, exciting, has great graphics, the courses are well done and the Rally cars are awesome!
Its beginner and expert friendly. Anyone can pick this one up and have fun, only an expert can unlock all tracks and cars.
The multiplayer is nice but you better have a big TV, as its a little hard to see the course, but its fun anyway.
Cons are that it restarts you when you veer off course ever so slightly, no shortcuts on this game. The multiplayer menus are a llittle bit of a pain, when you select a new course it makes you select a car too, everytime.
All in all its a great racing game!』
(Xbox Scored major points with this!!) 『First of all, I dont own Xbox, i own a PS2, but I was impressed big time with RalliSport Challenge. The car physics are remarkably realistic with spin-outs, powerslides, jumps, car damage e.t.c. A plethora of racetracks on different terrain which are accurate and a good selection of licensed rally cars are available.(Subaru WRC impreza's my fave).The game's AI is sufficiently difficult for a challenge, and u can't afford to take your eye off the track for a sec. I'm a racing game nut, but you don't have to be to enjoy this title. The selection screen is easy to navigate, so for those impatient one's, you can jump right in. I'm at my cousins house every weekend to play this title...considering i hate Xbox and it's owners ;-). This is a must have.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (kuf review) 『This was a older game but nonetheless it was a good game for the time it came out.』
(DOES NOT WORK ON 360!!!) 『It was awesome when I was stationed in Korea and got the game a year before it came out in the states (it is where it was developed) but that was on my orig xbox years ago, now I have a new 360 with the most recent compat update from xbox.com (this game is on the comp list) but no go...』
(Not Good, but not bad) 『The interface is extremely clunky. Graphics are great for the X-box, but the story is not that entertaining. The Physics of the game (such as sunlight in your face) is unique. If you can get it on the cheap I would recommend it.』
(controls are horrible) 『i gave this game about 4 hours to become fun, and ultimately I wish I had those 4 hours back. you'll be excited when you get cavalry, but that excitement will disappear quickly when you realize you have to manually run them back and forth through the enemy while your hero is getting sliced up, and that you have to do this with a very clunky camera system. i think for real-time strategic war games you're better off on a pc. pick up starcraft or any of a thousand other RTS title out there that blow KUF away.』
(Pretty Entertaining) 『Basically this game is Dynasty Warriors, with some strategy elements. Or better yet Dynasty Warriors for people who like RTS games and fantasy elements. It's very long, so if your like me, cheap and hate buying $50 games that only last maybe 10 hours. the lack of multiplayer, and custom soundtrack really sucks though.』 『Against a tide of fearsome enemies, only heroes dare to stand and fight. Battle the Dark Legions in an epic quest to control the Ancient Heart, an artifact of untold power.Carefully craft your skills and strategies as you assemble an army from more than 30 unit types!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (educational fun for family) 『I originally bought this for my girlfriend's nieces to play when they came over to visit. After we tried it out the first time we play it more together than the other games I own. The format is excellent as a game show type game. The side games are fun to play and the trivia portions have a wide range of questions.
I would recommend this for anyone with little kids, but be warned, you may wind up playing it too...』
(Enjoyable family game.) 『Both my boys really enjoyed Bible Game on X-box. Another fun way to make the Bible come alive for kids going in today's world. I wish there were more games like this one.』
(bible video game) 『Purchased as a birthday gift for my grandson who will turn six next week, so he has not yet received/played the game.』
(Christian Fun game) 『The Bible is one of those games that are not being recognized by many, but this game is captivating. It is fun and you learn about certain stories or people from the bible. I would recommend this game for anyone that wants a family game for them and their children. Now, for us that owns the Xbox 360 as well, we need the bible game for it as well with the graphics.
』
(The bible game) 『This game is an excellent tool to teach your kids about the word of God. My kids and I love it. I wish they would make more games like this one. The world spends too much time&money on junk like grand theft auto. Instead this game is well worth your time&money as well as a learning tool about Gods word.』 『The Bible Game is wholseome family fun that everyone can enjoy together! In this interactive adventure, un facts about Bible stories wil be revealed to educate and entertain the family. Action and quiz challenges are combined for a Bible lesson everyone can enjoy! Multiplayer competition with up to 4 players』
