I found a great game here. It took some time to get used to the controls- i hit mt "go to sleep" button quite a few time on my keyboard in the middle of a fight- weapon selection is through your delete and page down buttons- spells are great but you use you middle scroll to get to the - movement is through wasd or arrow control(takes getting used to) and quite easy to forget between game plays.Overall nice storyline-lots of game play and some rather tongue in cheek moments.』
(Great PC RPG.) 『Fable the lost chapters is a great RPG to play. It is the "Good vs. Evil" model that has been used in games from the the knights of the old republic series, black and white series, and mass effect(all great games).You actions and decisions determine the way you look to the power of you spells. You can help the Hero along your chosen path with bright or dark armors and getting tattoos, both can push alignment to ether way. The hero appearance change depending on your alignment, but Fable splits off those and other RPGS with character aging thou out the story, watching him grow from boy to teen, to man, to a old great hero(or Villon).The quest system is great, with two types of optional quest and one option that moves the story along. The only problem I had with the quest is that I wanted more of them. I would like to have more weapon and armor choices, I have seen more weapons in other games that Fable, even with the lost chapters there still less. The control is great on a PC. You have a chose of using the WASD or using the arrow keys, each haves its own control setup, and using the numbers keys as hot keys for spells seems better than having to use a xbox controller. One other problem I have with the game is the use of "lost chapters", it should be just chapter. Only having one series of quest in one new region to me seems like one chapter. At lest the should have add two more chapters, may be leading to the hero's journey to legend, and I don't think they had enough quest and weapons like an mention be for in a add on. I got Fable The lost chapters So I can go into Fable 2 on the 360 knowing what happen before, and too see if I would like it. This game has found is self on my list of the best RPGS that I have played, and I will be getting Fable 2 soon. Any hardcore RPG fan Will love this game.』
(Skip the PC version) 『Suckiest pile of suck controls and/or bugs I've run across in a game.
(imagined) snippets from a developer explaining the controls to a (probably equally imaginary) tester:
You want to target an enemy? Hit space. Oh, there was a friendly between you and the bad guy beating on him? Well, any friendly in combat is automatically an enemy, even if it's your escort quest mob, right?
You have three followers you want to have stay out of combat range? Well, you need to target each of them individually so you can give each one his very own wait command as stuff runs towards you. And yes, of course they should cower because you didn't sheath your weapon in the middle of a combat zone while you did so.
Target the spellcaster knocking your combat multiplier and health bar down you from across the room? Why would you want to do that? It's so much neater to kill the melee riff raff between you first!
Yes, even someone specializing in will should be forced to equip the bow to target something at range, because you *need* that bow to aim a fireball! And of course switching weapons should drop target. It's not like you can still see them the whole time, is it?
Why would you want to be able to see what you're shooting arrows at? You can just guess where it is, first person view is overrated!
Sidle? What's that? No, no, no, why would you want to move sideways when you have something targeted? You want to move *towards* stuff you're aiming at, always, even though there's a tree/box/house/whatever in the way!
There may be a worthwhile game under here, but I gave up a few quests in because the controls are so bad. Maybe the Xbox version is better, I'd give that one a shot.』
(Fantastic!) 『Bought this on a whim and pleasantly supprised. Graphics are fantastic. I have had no gameplay issues and on top of that the controls are simple. WASD controls with the mouse allow changing bow and sword quickly. Spells can be assigned to hot keys and favorites are at immediate disposal on the mouse. I'm not much on story board, generally i skip the story pieces except for necessary clues. I like the idea that everything you do effects your characters growth. However after 11 hours of play you are 40 years old, so as you've read in other reviews you won't spend months on this game. I would love to see a longer version of this with more character options!
I also want to add i play this at 2560 x 1600 with all the graphics options turned up. Even in the arena quest where i am battling many foes there is no lag or pauses! Granted i have the hardware to do it, but some higher priced games the s/w can't keep up. Try this! It'll make you think about the future of gaming.』
(I love this game!) 『I've beaten the Fable 2 and it's expansion. I've beaten the original Fable on Xbox and then beat it again with LCs. In my opinion this game is better than the 2nd and on PC in wide screen 1080P looks gorgeous. The armors look way better than Fable 2's. In addition the story is better with much more fullfilling character interaction and an actual final boss fight that's worth mentioning. This is the way to play this game. On PC. My only con for this game is the controls. I wish I could use my gamepad.

(Call of Duty) 『You just gotta love Call of Duty! Simply the best shooter game out there.』
(Over the top) 『COD 4 is probably the most complete, beautiful and overall best, video game i've ever played. The only issue i have is that it is too short. The action literally leave one breathless.
The casting, and art is beyond belief. The staging is well thought through and the various missions are selected to exercise every facility of the game machine.

(One of the Finest First Person Shooters Available!) 『Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: L.E.G.
As a lover and avid player of FPS (First Person Shooter) type games, I am probably one of the toughest critics and a game must satisfy all my criteria for me to give it a 5/5 rating. Without any doubts, Call of Duty Finest Hour has successfully accomplished this lofty goal.
To start with, Call of Duty Finest Hour is entirely based on events that happened during World War II. But, ActiVision took on a bigger role than just making a video game and actually tries and succeeds in teaching us a brief history lesson. Granted it's very short and concise, but it helps to setup the game and it's many diverse and challenging levels.
You start out playing as a member of the Russian Army fighting with your comrades on the Eastern Front, from the Volga to Stalingrad. The missions can be somewhat difficult to finish, but the squad leader does give you instructions (just as if you were in the army) on what you need to do or where you need to go. "Blow up that building" and "Take out those machine guns" are typical fare. And most of the time you are a member of a "squad", so don't try to be all "Rambo" and try to defeat the Germans all by yourself. You will get slaughtered!
After you complete your mission(s) as one person, you are then placed in someone else's shoes and get to fight the war from their perspective. Which also opens you up to using different weapons and driving around in tanks. But, this is not Grand Theft Auto. You can't go around and jump in vehicles and take off. Your tour of duty on the Eastern Front with the Russians takes a total of 8 sometimes-grueling missions. At least the game is very forgiving and lets you restart the mission at the last checkpoint.
After the Eastern Front, you are whisked off to North Africa to serve with the British Army in Tunisia. All of the buildings and backgrounds used in this game are simply amazing. There is a lot of rich and articulate detail to keep your attention. You will serve a total of 4 missions with the bulldogs. More neat weapons used by the Brits and a lot of blowing stuff up in these levels. G-D Save the Queen!
And last, but not least, you go to the Western Front to fight with the American Army. As in previous levels, you get more awesome weapons to shoot and tanks to drive. Some of the toughest battles will be fought with the Americans. A total of 7 missions await your shooting skills.
Call of Duty Finest Hour by ActiVision is available for the Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube. It is rated "T" for Teen and contains a ton of blood and a whole lot of violence. Since this game is based on World War II, blood and violence is to be expected. Total missions are 19 and 23 different weapons.
This game is Single Player only, but does offer multiplayer online broadband only and 2-16 players. Online gametypes are: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Search&Destroy. Overall, this game was as close to perfect as they can get with very few technical glitches. Like one time I was crawling around on the floor and trying to climb a flight of stairs and my character just fell through some empty space to his terrible death.
This game was just so well balanced between missions, story, music and action that I had to give it a 5/5.
It's really an awesome game, so go ahead and get a copy.』
(Too hard and slow) 『I think that this Call of Duty was to hard and the gameplay was to slow. I didn't enjoy this game. I didn't have fun while playing this Call of Duty. I struggling to keep alive and make my objectives. Too hard for me atleast. Rent before buying this one, or play call of duty 2 big red one if you have just the original xbox and your looking for a call of duty.』 『Call of Duty Finest Hour Xbox』

(Stupid.) 『I bought one of these with my xbox thinking I needed it for dvd playback. I got my xbox soft modded and it has absolutely NO use now. It will NOT let me use this remote anymore. I use the controller to control dvd playback, so if you are planning to get your xbox modded then DON'T buy this, as you will have no use for it either. Other than that, I suppose it would work great.』
(XBox DVD Remote Kit) 『Great product. Not common product found in retail store(s). All you need is a XBox&2 AAA batteries&you're good to go. Good Deal!』
(Awesome Remote) 『This is a great remote for the xbox. Instead of buying a new DVD player, I can just use the xbox remote. Decent price.』
(DVD remote for Xbox) 『This remote really works! I plugged in the adapter into the 4th hole and put a DVD disc into it and it works. Just make sure that the adapter is pushed in all the way, because I didn't at first and the Xbox would not play a DVD movie disc. This kit must be another way for Micorsoft to make more money, forcing people to buy this to watch standard DVD movie discs. This is a must for Xbox owners.』 『The Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit is a quick way to expand the functionality of the best gaming machine around! Xbox requires this kit to enable DVD movie playback. Simply plug in the infrared receiver to a controller port and use the remote control designed for DVD movie playback. No messy cables or confusing game controllers to deal with!』

(the good game.) 『This game is great but there is languge,violence,and a strip club. Do not buy this for a kid!』
(Great Game!) 『Great game, although it has been out for a while, still fun as heck to play and is compatible with the 360 with an update that you can get from the Xbox website or from live when you put the game in. Never gets old!』
(The hype was deserved this time) 『Putting aside from the typical reactions one gets from those who are predisposed to dislike this game due to its controversy (such as so-called "attorney" Jack Thompson, whose crusade against this and other violent video games has become an unintentional self-parody), it seems that there are those who are quite vocal about disliking this game due to the ridiculous amounts of hype the series receives. I can't completely blame them; after all, certain magazines (such as Game Informer) seem to throw any semblance of journalistic integrity out the window in their quest to write slavishly glowing and obsequious previews and reviews of any games from GTA's developers, Rockstar Games. These publications make it seem that there are no other worthwhile games out there aside from the GTA games, to such a degree that it almost screams payola. Or does it?
By this point, you probably are familiar with the Grand Theft Auto premise, established by Grand Theft Auto 3 in 2001. You control a criminally inclined character in a city, who can take a variety of missions from characters scattered about the area, and can pretty much take over most any vehicle. While there is a storyline in the game, you are allowed a significant amount of freedom, to the point where you can choose to not take any story missions, and instead either take on minor side missions, or simply drive about and cause chaos. GTA 3's sequel, Vice City, was the beneficiary of relentless media hype arising from the swell of unexpected success from its predecessor. While it boasted a number of improvements, such as better graphics, a great licensed soundtrack, a more cinematic storyline (complete with celebrity voice acting), somewhat better targeting, and the addition of motorcycles and helicopters, Vice City was really not the quantum leap in gaming it was billed as. Not only did it fail to correct some of the failings of GTA 3, but it also took a step backwards in environmental design, as Vice City's flashy '80s neon cool couldn't make up for its flat and boring design (as opposed to Liberty City's multi-tiered, busy design).
When the hype over the next Grand Theft Auto game began to build, my reaction was more of a "so what"? Sure, I loved the GTA Double Pack (and had originally played a fair portion of Vice City on the PS2), but did I really need another stint in a small city, pursuing the same kind of missions and mayhem as before? However, when I found out the true scope of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, my interest grew exponentially.
GTA: San Andreas is certainly one of the most ambitious action games I've ever seen. Instead of providing one mere city, this game provides an entire state, albeit a relatively small and abridged one (when compared to the real thing). Three very distinct cities (based on Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas), a dozen small towns, a mountain, desert, woods, prairie, farms, rivers- this game's environment is the definition of "throwing in the kitchen sink". The number of missions has increased from the prior installments' 60-odd missions to over 100 story/side-story missions, plus the "career" missions (vigilante, ambulance, firefighter, valet, trucker, pimp, burglar, etc.), and the inevitable racing challenges. If that's not enough, several "just for kicks" mini-games are included, such as pool, basketball free-throws, and arcade games. But wait- there's more! The variety of vehicles has once again increased, and now includes a selection of "proper" airplanes (including a fighter jet!), ATVs, and mountain bikes, in addition to cars, boats, motorcycles, and helicopters.
Beyond these changes, the gameplay mechanics have been kicked up a notch. Your character, Carl Johnson, can now not only swim, but can also climb over fences if needed. In a move unheralded in the series, the developers threw in RPG elements: the more you perform an action (running, firing a certain weapon, driving), the higher your related skill stats go. You can customize your character to a certain degree (haircuts, individual clothing items), affect your characters physique by eating and working out, and even have a few girlfriends (who you can go on dates with). Targeting has also been improved, with the addition of a new manual aim mechanic for all projectile weapons, and a fully controllable camera. At several points in the game, you'll also get to lead your own posse of gang members, and engage in territorial conflict.
The storyline this time around is a little less tongue in cheek, and a little bit more serious. You control Carl Johnson, a former gang member, who is dragged back into the lifestyle by an unexpected death in the family. Even if you were never into the "Boyz In The Hood" genre of melodrama, the game is so well executed, and expands so far beyond that conceit, that it's hard not to be drawn in. (The downside is that this game may hit too close to home for anyone in a neighborhood terrorized by gang violence and the resulting "collateral damage".) The true breadth of the game really hits you when you first drive beyond the Los Santos city limits, into the countryside of Red County. Not only is there variety to be found in the three general country areas bordering the cities, but each of the three big cities is distinct from the others. Los Santos (the Los Angeles clone) combines the sun-drenched, beachcomber vibe of Vice City with the gritty sprawl of the L.A. seen in Quentin Tarentino and John Singleton movies, and the elevated highway interchanges and lofty downtown metropolitan look of more decadent depictions of the West Coast. San Fierro's (the fake San Francisco) vertical inclines and polished architecture come off as a more genteel, pleasant version of Liberty City. While the Las Vegas-inspired Las Venturas sports the weakest layout of the cities, being too reminiscent of Vice City's flat, low-rise tract design, its neon-lit casinos, scattered industrial depots and encircling highway system provide their own charms.
For the Xbox version, there's the good...and the bad. One of the greatest improvements is the inclusion of custom soundtracks. As huge as the included soundtrack is, I feel that Vice City's '80s soundtrack is better, and I'm not much of a fan of rap or grunge (I do sort of like the New Jack Swing station). The ability to make my own soundtrack is key for a game which depends a lot on cruising around; King Crimson, Deep Purple, Angra, The Four Tops, and more make the experience more unpredictable and just more fun. The graphics are improved in that the draw distance is better, textures are a bit nicer, and the almost-overwhelming orange glow present in the PS2 version has been toned down. However, the cool car reflections of the PS2 version are MIA, for some reason. In general, the graphics are not as shiny and "clean" as the Xbox version of Vice City, but do seem to provide more detail and variety (even if in a somewhat grainier fashion). Controls are a similar mixed bag; while the Xbox control sticks are a sight better for targeting, the controls for "drive-by shooting" are abysmal, compared to the GTA Double Pack (why the change?).
This game is so huge in scope that you'll find yourself playing for 70 or more hours, whether engaged in the more elaborate missions (which involve such diverse objectives as chasing a train, framing a DA, infiltrating a military base, a high speed mid-air dog fight, and even an assassination in far away Liberty City!), betting on the horse races, or in just exploring the huge environment. It's true that the "open world" genre is no longer new and enough in itself, with competition from Saint's Row, Just Cause, and True Crime: NYC. However, while those games may have better graphics, or a more refined targeting system, none of them has the depth of gameplay, variety and attention to environmental design as this game. For once, the hype was right. They finally made a game that feels almost as immersive as an actual world, but without as many limitations. (Note to the parents reading this: DO NOT get this game for any kid under 16. It's very entertaining, but the subject matter and context of the violence [of which there is plenty] is better for a "less impressionable" mind.) 』
(ABSOLUTE Funnest game i ever played) 『THIS IS MY FAVORITE ALL TIME GAME BECAUSE ONCE YOU BEAT IT YOU CAN JUST PLAYING AND PLAYING.』 『Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas brings back the incredible action of the hit game series. Carl Johnson left the San Andreas neighborhood of Los Santos five years ago, when it was being ripped apart by drugs and gangs. When he returns in the early 90s, his mother has been killed, his family has fallen apart and childhood friends are criminals. Crooked cops frame Carl for murder, and he decides to save himself and his family - by taking over the streets. Advanced role-playing elements -- Unlike previous GTA characters, Carl can swim and he needs to eat to survive Side missions help develop skills that come into play later -- from working out at the gym to gambling in a casino』

(kids new to video games) 『Just purchased an Xbox and purchased Spiderman for my 8 year old grandson and it has a great tutoral to help you navigate. It was fun to see his expression when he was able to play the game.』
(Still Fun After Multiple Gaming) 『This game hasn't aged at all! Here it is in 2007 and I played this game again and it is just as fun as when I originally bought it! This game is more based on the movie than actually a game for the movie. Scorpion, Vulture, Shocker and Kraven weren't in the movie but they are featured on this game along with the Green Goblin which just adds more gameplay to this really fun adventure. The game is also challenging and not too easy. It may not be as good as Spider-Man 2 video game, but it is still fun after all of these years. Highly recommended if you don't have this game already.』
(Spiderman better run 'cause he stinks!) 『If u r looking for a game i highly advise u don't buy this game. it has it's 1 little moment but it is 2 hard and 2 boring i have had this game for 1 year and i havn't got pass the stink'n 1st level! The only good thing is being able to beat the living dog crap out of people. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!』
(Harder than I Thought...) 『Thanks god I got this game from a friend of mine, I borrowed the game from him, and the game was good yeah, but very, very hard! (And no, Im not really into Spiderman..)
The Graphics 8/10: are very detailed and smooth, specially in the outdoor levels, the lightning effect of the game arent that perfect. The characters here are well detailed as well as Peter Parker, with the exception of Mary Jane, she just doesnt look like Kirsten Dunst. The cutscene are very well implemented, it looks like a real movie :P (yeah and I mean it) my only complaint about it is that there werent any english subtitles..
The outdoor levels are sooo great and they can be repetitive, it looks exactly like NY, and sometimes you can see the Ubisoft logo on one of the big buildings, awesomee! and abuout the indoor levels, they arent that special, good, but not special.
Sound 7/10 Music 5/10: About the music...? Well.. theres nothing special on it, but yeah, they are cool, once you play level two and three they will get very repetitive, thank god they have a long lenght. The reason I gave it a 7 star rating was because Tobey Mcguire did the voice for the game (I Dont really know if Kirsten Dunst did hers). But when you are fighting a foe, or something the lines will get very very repetitive specially spidey's (Some of them are stupid anyway..).
Gameplay/Controls 6/10: The camera angles and the save system arent very good, cause sometimes you wont be able to see the enemies cause this stupid camera will get stuck and you wont be able to rotate it, the save system is a pain (similar to Buffy The Vampire Slayer) there is no checkpoints after all! If you die at the end of the level, you will have to restart the level again! and is not good in the last levels cause you need to avoid these white robots which is not easy.. Spiderman has some nice combos to pull off.. (they are located like some sort of secrets) however it wont be easy to do this cause the buttons layaout arent that good, they are chunky if you know what I mean, you press the punch button and 4 seconds later you see spiderman punching, is lacking response.. The Difficulty in this game is sooo hard and I started this game on normal, and I found it veryyy hard and frustrating, specially when you are fighting this green big bird, he is throwing bombs at you, and since your bar is too well damned low (an overexageration of the game developers..) you will die instantly!
If you are a fan of the movie take this game, however.. if you are not, avoid it, since is lacking a good control responsive and is lacking some other things mentioned above.』 『Bitten by a genetically altered spider, high school student Peter Parker is suddenly empowered with supernatural abilities, including Spider Sense, web-slinging and wall crawling. Take the role of Parker as he adapts to his new powers and becomes Spider-Man. But beware - the city's villains won't be pleased to see a new hero on the scene.』 『Spider-Man: The Moviebrings your friendly neighborhood web slinger to life with engrossing realism, proving that a superhero game of such complex nature can be achieved with nearly flawless and nonintrusive gameplay. Be it wandering the city's environs in search of villains, or just checking out your surroundings by web-swinging high above them, you truly can do whatever Spider-Man can. It's all here: high-flying aerial battles, the ability to web up and yank your enemies close for pummeling, and the capacity for crawling or web-zipping up, down, and over any surface--and that's just for starters. All in all, this is one involved game that does not fail to live up to the hype.
The game parallels the motion picture's story line, steering you through a progression of challenges that begins with the hunt for Uncle Ben's murderer and ends with a final showdown with the Green Goblin. You begin as Peter Parker dressed in his wrestling costume and must defeat a variety of thugs throughout each level before advancing to the next set of challenges. The game gets progressively tougher as you encounter, in turn, Shocker, the Vulture, Scorpion, and, of course, the Green Goblin.
Visually,Spider-Manis a treat: cityscapes unfold in realistic detail and are enhanced by sunlight shining between buildings; cutscenes offer seamless animation; interiors are painstakingly re-created; and Spider-Man and his enemies are well rendered, moving about the screen in clean fashion. As an added bonus, most characters are voiced by their movie counterparts, and the training mode features the sarcastic wit ofEvil Deadstar Bruce Campbell.--Larry White

(One of the best story driven games of all time.) 『This game is not for those who exclusively play mindless action games. There are real characters and narrative here. For those wanting to see a great story AND play a great game you can't go wrong with Indigo Prophecy.』
(Different but falls short overall) 『This game has a very interesting storyline which keeps players coming back to see how it turns out, but near the end some things get way too out there, and it doesn't conclude as well as it starts. The dialogue can be annoying at times, people just don't talk like they do in real life, and this affects the whole interactive movie thing the game is going for. Overall its a fun experience, but trial and error gameplay and things getting too weird near the end make this game fall short of a 5/5.』
(Not typical) 『If you love movies with a twist you'll love this game.The story,Action,Qte{Quick time event),Sex,Brief nudity this game has it all.A must play!!』
(A GAME WITH SUCKY CONTROLS THAT DOESN'T SUCK? HUH?! 8 OUT OF 10) 『Indigo Prophecy is a rather interesting title. It thinks outside the box, it's different from all other games, you are never given a weapon; instead it requires a lot of thought and quick reflexes, and it's the only game that actually qualifies as a game of drama. WHAT THE GAME IS: Well, it qualifies as an adventure game, but you can't exactly pigeonhole it into what kind of game it is, it's that unique. It's January 2009, in New York City, a series of murders involving ordinary people who kill total strangers in public places is occurring. There is no connection between these murders other than they all follow the same ritualistic killing methods. One of the protagonists in a game; Lucas Kane; becomes the latest person to kill someone in a public place. For no apparent reason, Lucas kills a man in the bathroom of a restaurant, so he must avoid capture from the police. The story also stars two police detectives; Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles; who are working on the case and they are playable characters as well. The game is all about quick reflexes and strategically (not to mention frantically) carrying out your actions and choosing what the characters say during a conversation. GRAPHICS: These graphics don't look that great, even for when it was released in 2005. The textures are lousy and the animation is stiff. MUSIC: It's good and it sets the drama mood as well as for the frantic moments of gameplay. SOUNDS: Mostly just talking. GAMEPLAY: Okay, let's just get the bad part out of the way, the controls are awful and are very difficult to get used to. The gameplay relies almost exclusively on the analog sticks, I'm not kidding. Almost all the movements and actions are done via analog sticks. But once you get the hang of the controls, the game turns out to be quite an entertaining piece of work. There are no guns, no weapons of any kind. The gameplay revolves around the everyday lives of Lucas and the two detectives. Whether it be relationship problems, going to work, working on the computer, analyzing evidence and crimes, drowning your sorrows in alcohol or drugs, saving people from drowning, hiding evidence, having strange visions, engaging in conversation, opening things, listening to music, playing guitar, and avoiding becoming an emotional wreck this drama title has got all of this and more. It requires a lot of use from your brain, so if you only like the old Xbox for shooters, you won't like this game because it has no weapons. OVERALL: If you like games that are out of the ordinary, this game is definitely worth a look if you please. But be warned about the controls and camera problems. I wish developer Quantic Dream had spent more time fine-tuning the controls, but what's here is just fine and quite entertaining. I honestly would be more than willing to play Quantic Dream's upcoming Heavy Rain, but the question is, when does it come out, and will it go multi-platform (So far it has only been announced for PS3)? THE GOOD: A game that is surprisingly smart, inventive, innovative, and quite interesting as a drama game. THE BAD: Awful controls and squirelly camera.』 『Chose to play as one of four main characters - Lucas Kane, Detectives Carla Valenti or Tyler Miles, and Lucas' brother Marcus Kane.

Multi-view split-screen allows players to see what is happening in a different area of the game while playing a separate level.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Super Wars) 『Great title from begining to end. I saw some complaints about the graphics and the hack and slash option of playing. Trust me I own this game and if you read the control sceme you can think of you own uniquely personal combos like I did. ex: Roll and Stab is a regular combo but it really gets through Jedi's defenses and most sith die realisticly after just one direct hit with a lightsaber.』
(Great Play) 『Awesome game. Love the concept and made it worth buying an xbox to have along with my xbox360.』
(Awesome game to play) 『This was a great game when I first played it. I especially loved the wide variety of customizations with your character, lightsaber colors and versions. I might think of getting it. For any person who loves first person shooters and Star Wars this is a game you GOT TO TRY!!!』
(GREAT LIGHTSABER ACTION THAT'S NOT THE FORCE UNLEASHED!) 『Bottom line this is the next best thing to The Force Unleashed! Controls and camera are not the best, but if your are a hugs Star Wars gamer like me, then this is a must for the collection!』
(This is a great game.) 『This was a well put together game and it did surpass the outcast version. The only thing that it didn't have was those mini gun turrents when you go to play multiplayer. I love the options the game gives you, you get to create your very own player and your color of your light saber(s), or staff.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Game!) 『Ok so basicaly this is a remake of the game Conkers bad fur day from the n64. This is easily debated as one of the best looking games on the xbox and offers some new content to fans and newcomers alike. This game is basicaly for thoughs of you who like humor mainly humor like british humor / scary movie humor. It isnt afraid to say whats on its mind at any point and offers a bunch of great gameplay and movie parodies while its at it. All in all its a great platformer. I was lucky enough to find it new for a decent price here on Amazon. Everywhere else it was used and cost even more or wasnt even available.』
(An outstanding remake of a great game.) 『Back in the late 90's, when I first heard the tail... err, tale of a red squirrel (who looks orange to me) that would be caught into such mischief, I figured another kids game. One that I'd probably end up getting because Rare made it. Then I saw the first set of trailers for it on IGN. Boy, was I shocked. Blood galore. Violence at every corner. It was actually funny. Singing poop. And language that would make a sailor smile. This wasn't another Rare kid's game. I don't remember how, but I ended up with several copies of the game. Afterwards, I sold some of the "still packaged" games to Special FX (Waco's finest game trading place) who gave me enough to buy a ton of new games. I beat it over a friend's house and was almost tear jerked because I wanted to find out what happened to a host of the characters. You'd understand if you played it.
Conker is now redone. Reloaded as they say. It has much better graphics. For instance, Conker actually has fur instead of a decent polygonal orange... red... surface. The sound quality is a ton better. Best of all, the game host a few new surprises from the original. The game is just hysterical, even after all these years. The Matrix scene is awesome. The Gladiator rips are to die for. The Saving Private Ryan parody is just the apple in the pie. It's all a riot for not only the player, but friends watching. The graphics and sounds in this remake have been so well redone, it's literally like playing a new game.
The game has a host of new options too, some which I wish all games had. For one, there's a profanity filter. I prefer to play my games with one on because I just don't like to hear certain words flowing out of anythings mouth. Although, even with the profanity unlocked, you won't hear any F-bombs or anything. Another new feature I liked was the multiplayer. Then again, I also hated it. The original multiplayer was more of a mini-game style. It really didn't last too long, but it was fun sometimes. The best modes being the military modes and the heist, as well as raptors vs. cavemen. However, the new multiplayer is a lot more lasting, even to include stats and a nice ranking system. I just wish they could have kept the originals in there for kicks.
Overall, Conker will have you splitting your sides, as well as wishing the game would never end. It's a perfect video game for those fans of platformers, comedies, or just war.』
(Funny, cute, and fuzzy critters; gratuitous violence, and lots of chocolate.) 『It's an excellent port game from its original N64 version. The controls are vastly improved(epecialy for anyone familiar with third person shooters). It's loaded with crude humor, "questionable" puzzles, and some neat movie cameos. Just remember, the game's rated "M" for a reason; but if you dont take it to seriously its actually quite a fun and hallarious game.』
(Greatest RareWare Game Ever) 『I am not a fan of the XBOX 360. Having to send it back to Microsoft for repeated repairs leads me to believe that it is a poorly made product. But since I own one I might as well use it. I owned the original Conker for the Nintendo 64 and loved it. To me it is the best RareWare game ever made and that says a lot when you look at some of the games that RareWare has produced. Games like Donkey Kong Country and Banjo Kazooie for the N64. Coker Live and Reloaded has been sharpened up from the original version and a few minor changes in the game play. It is still a great game to play. I should point out that it has received the M rating for a reason. This game is definitely not for kids. But if you are looking for a game that is as fun to play as it is funny to watch then this is the game for you. Playing this game reminded me once again how great RareWare was prior to moving to Microsoft. I mean look at what they have released on MS platform and compare it the older games from the Nintendo days. Viva Piñata and Banjo Nuts and Bolts are some of the worst games I have ever played on any platform. This game shows how great RareWare used to be and how they can still make a game for Xbox 360 that is worth playing. Why they can't make a new title that is as good as this is anyone's guess.』
(JUST PLAIN AWESOME!!!) 『Yeah the title says it all. Even though it's the same story, it's still a lot of fun. The xbox live is a whole new experience of online gaming! Tediz and Squirrles? THATS F***N great. lol. its really worth the money here on amazon or gamestop, or any place who still has it!!!!』 『Conker Xbox』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (universal metal pedal) 『This product was difficult to use for me. It only worked half the time. It would register the note when I let off the pedal.』
(medal pedal rocks) 『I got 2 of these pedals and within minutes of opening the packages i was playin double bass on GH Metallica. It has a very nice feel to it. Its a soft kick pedal so it doesn't take much pressure at all to operate and as long as you don't try to stomp it thru the floor it works great. If you are hard on the pedal it can double tap. Works great with double bass. I would recomend this pedal.』
(Use some common sense here people...) 『Let me start by saying I have never had a good experience with any Nyko peripheral. In my opinion, Nyko is synonymous with poor quality. Secondly, and most importantly, note the platforms this thing is listed as being useful for. PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii. Nothing out of the ordinary. But it also lists the original Xbox and the PS1. This should set off major alarms. No Guitar Hero or Rock Band game was released for these systems. I mean sure, you could hook up your PS2 peripherals to your PS1 if you wanted an insanely difficult way to play a game, but there is no drums to be had. Spend the extra money if you have to, this product is a waste of money.』
(Great replacement pedal) 『This pedal works wonders. I use this pedal for rock band 1&2 and it is alot easir to press down. My original footpedal broke so i decided to try this one. This pedal has increased my scores for every song. I can now beat songs like panick attack with 92%. I would of bought this pedal even with out mine breaking.』
(Nyko finally did something right.) 『I got this pedal for the Xbox 360 after buying a used GH:WT drum kit and having the stock pedal fail epically. It was way too sensitive and the USB/Midi cable tuning method didn't work. So I started to do some research on good pedals to use as replacements.
Apparently there are a lot of people that use real bass kicks from actual drum kits combined with a practice pad. I for one do not have the money or the patience to put that setup together, although I'll admit it'd be cool. This was one of the only other alternatives that I could find that was compatible between both RB1+2 and GH:WT kits.
The low ratings around the net made me a bit skiddish, but it was my only hope to play drums on expert ever again in a normal fashion. So I bought this pedal and how I've improved! Not that I'm a retarded carrot and this magically made me better, but the response this pedal provides is miles above and beyond the stock GH pedal.
It has a switch on the cord that allows you to change from RB to GH (depending on which kit you've plugged it into) and it has the little, uh, notch thingys to set it on the crossbars of the RB kit for placement. There are rubber grip dots on the bottom to provide added friction on surfaces like linoleum and whatnot. The functionality of the pedal itself is a combo of both pedals. It uses the magnetic sensor for RB and the piezo-whatcha-ma-bob for GH and is constructed just like the two of them got mashed together. The contact post for the GH part is flat and has a little rubber thingy on it to help maintain flat and motionless contact too. (Smart move. Nyko 1 - Activision/RedOctane 0)
It does bounce a little and move during the more kick crazy songs, though that could just be the way I play. The pedal is wider and feels steadier than both the GH:WT and RB kicks and is also a little quieter, even with the harder thumps, but that could be just my opinion.
All in all, I couldn't find much at all to complain about with this product. Most of the time Nyko makes some seemingly disposable crap, but this feels and performs incredibly sturdy. I would recommend this pedal over any other for both RB and GH:WT replacement pedals any day.』 『Keep the beat with a pedal that can take a beating with the Metal Pedal from Nyko. The Metal Pedal features reinforced metal plating for unparalleled durability and a unique hard rock design evoking the spirit of rock icons past and present. The extra-wide and sturdy base will be sure to keep the Metal Pedal in place even during the most intense game play sessions. Weather you have Rock Band or Guitar Hero the Metal Pedal will provide a durable replacement/alternative drum pedal for your drum set no matter what system you own.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (great shoot-em up game) 『great game overall but the enemies are nearly impregnable except for headshots. it takes a good 7 shots to kill a normal infantry man nevermind the guys with the face masks or shields. unfortunatley your toughness is definetly not the same. but over all great game although its not as interactive as many other games are, it is still a great game to have in your inventory.』
(black) 『didn't get to play game .it will not work on xbox 360 need hard drive to play game . sold it to a friend』
(Very Satisfying Shooter) 『I loved this game. I can hardly think of any other shooter where you get a better feel of the damage your weapons are inflicting on your enemies or the game environment than Black.
The graphics - original x-box wise - are definitely above average. Sound direction is top-notch as well. The cut-scenes that serve to propel the "story" are kind of weak, but this game isn't really about telling a story. The scenes are only there to set up the action in the next level.
I found the game to be somewhat frustrating at times, but overall it was a very satisfying and rewarding experience.』
(very difficult) 『"black" meaning black ops of course and ops short for operations.the term black ops refer to military manuvers that they dont admit they really did like sending troops into china during viet nam.this game has a really long entrance scene every time you turn it on.guns have few bullets,enemies regenerate if you stay still.there is danger everywhere!i mean EVERYWHERE!even the very first level is quite difficult to pass.its harder than some games' last level.its fast paced and screaming with adrenaline!a great military game for the patient and if youre not.....whered your head go?like the package says"every bullet is your baby".』
(KABLOOM!!!) 『Ok, first off, I'm no game expert, so excuse me if I don't use the correct video game aficionado hoity-toity verbiage. Do you just like running around shooting everything in sight? I usually don't. While I would normally gag at the thought of such mindless gameplay; this game was different (although the cut scenes were fairly well done). Why? GUNS, GUNS, AND MORE GUNS!! EXPLOSIONS GALORE!! SO MUCH AMMO, SO MANY BAD GUYS!!. There is so much kabloom in this game it's friggin ridiculous; and the music during and between the action is top notch. And your reticule is this little tiny dot that adds a ton of reality to it, I think. I like the accuracy aspect to it. One straight round to the head, or 10 rounds everywhere else; you choose. The graphics are very good (for an xbox game). No strategy. All kabloom. No guilt. Gotta love it.
There was only one thing that I didn't like in this game.. There are several annoying little ramp thingies (yeah, I know it's not a word) in every level that prevent you from backtracking. Half the time you don't even recognize them until your already over them. Presumably, it's to let you know your headed in the right direction, right? Problem is, maybe you're just wondering around the map looking to complete your objectives, but no, mr. developer guy says if you've wondered this far without completing your objectives, that's too d**N bad, there's no going back; so, if you haven't completed enough objectives, guess what? You only get to unlock the next mission level one difficulty level down from the difficulty level you started the previously level with. If you want to start the next level at the same difficulty, you have to start the previously level all over again and complete enough objectives. It's like getting a middle-finger to your face after you put in all this hard-earned work. Lesson? Watch your step (especially when leaving or entering big buildings).
