(If you loved the Last one. You'll love this one.) 『THis is not as good as Mario. Mario seems to spank everyone in this area due to two major factors. The levels and action is very creative, and the graphics are fun. Now, that said. Pac-Man World 3 is way good. It is not as creative or pretty as Mario but it is close on both accounts. The controls handle very well. And they have even thrown in a bit of old school pac-man emulation. There are over 14 levels in this game, most of which will engage you. If you loved the last pac man world game. You will love this one. This is more of the same which is fine by me.』

(Sonic Stars (The Ultimate Beginner Sonic Fansite) Review on TMNT: Mutant Melee) 『TMNT: Mutant Melee By: Zike the Fox (Harrison) Rated: T Release Date: March 16, 2005 Box Warnings: Cartoon Violence My Warnings: April's Extra Costume, Mindless "beating the crap" out of each other
----
Story: 5.7/10
Its not any good. Stories vary with each character, but you don't even pay any attention to them, because they play such a small role. No FMVs' or anything. Its text, but its to annoying and frantic to remember. Some of the story descriptions are just pointless, such as "Raphel got mad at Donatello. Go over and beat the snot out of em'!". Its pretty useless. Another reason I don't care for this game.
Graphics: 6.8/10
Its the regular old cel-shaded Ninja Turtles graphics. Like pretty much ever TMNT game. It looks a little worse this time around though. The character drawings are very decent, however. The game felt rushed (and it was rushed) by the look. I mean, look at the Unlockables section and buy the other media stuff. The graphics are VERY polygonal, making it look like little to no work went into them. Also in the unlockables, there are all types of sketches, and there is also, as an unlockable, the first TMNT Agima comic. All in all, it could be improved upon. Note that you can play as April O' Neil in a small bikini. Not to pleasant to see. Take warning of that.
Sound: 5.0/10
Nothin' really memorable here. It sounds like they got the same voice actors from the anime, so thats a nice touch. Music was nothin' to special. You never pay attention to it unless your trying too. Sound effects, again, are nothing to special.
Gameplay: 6.9/10
It needed some serious improvement. Its just another gaming slap-fest. You can pull off special combos and attacks, but you really only need to rely on the simple attack-attack-attack combo. You can pick up some items, such as swords, battle axes, machine guns, and the like. You can pick up most anything in the invironment, such as boxes full of smoke, oil cans, pillows, and (my favorite) TVs, as well as some others to chuck at enemies. You can unlock a slew of TMNT characters, such as Shredder with no suit, past Casey Jones, Elite Foot Soldiers and a bunch more (Beleive it or not, April and the regular Foot Ninja-in-training are the best characters). Your goal is to finish the story mode with all possible characters, and get Yin-Yang tokens to unlock random things. Gettin' those tokens is not a fun or easy task by any means. Some of those story mode missions are brutal.
Controls: 7.6
Simple enough, really. The game dosen't really explain how to do your special attack well, but, as I said, all you really need to do is rely on using attack-attack-attack combo over and over again.
Overall: 4.5/10
Terrible excuse for a fighting game. Is hardly worth the time. Good pick-up-and-play type controls aren't good enough to make it a decent game. Wheather or not your a Ninja Turtles fan, this should be avoided at all cost. Rent before buying ALL THE WAY.』
(Why is every TMNT game getting progressively worse???) 『What a disappointment!! When I got word of this game, I heard that it would be like a TMNT version of Mario Party (It'd be a whole lot cooler if it were)....I also heard that the game had an epic amount of unlockables/bonus materials/easter eggs (which I absolutely LOVE!! It's half the fun of playing) ...the "unlockables" left alot to be desired....ALLLLLLLOT!! There was some nice artwork from the cartoon series of background scenery, but the bulk of the character artwork was the same as what you'd find in tmnt2 battle nexus...not only were many of the pictures the same, it looked as if someone took a snaphot of tmnt 2 while it was up on another screen!! Unacceptable!! Some were artwork of "some homeless guy in the background" and other random bit characters that no one cares about (that were most likely dug out of an animator's wastebasket). However, the sketches of the action figure designs were pretty SWEET!
There's also info about the original tmnt comic that started it all and it's there for you to "read"...but the text is so illegible that all you can do is look at the artwork (IF YOU SQUINT). The "outtakes" snapshots were horribly unfunny...as were most of the "outtake" movie clips (though there were 1 or 2 there that really WERE funny...like the one with splinter and mikey. That one had me LOL!!)
The "unlockable" characters were a letdown as well. You HEAR "20 DIFFERENT playable characters", but what you SEE are the same characters but in different outfits...big stinking WHOOOOOOP!
Yeah, it may be nice to finally see April O'Neil NOT being kidnapped and actually fighting amongst the guys....But my true favorite is Karai. What a letdown, I really wanted to see her....Imagine those two, boys (CATFIGHT!!!)! Eh, Karai would probably make sashimi out of April anyways...
The graphics look blocky and dumb. The poor turtles were made to look like CRASH TEST DUMMIES...the designers must have spent that time making the shredder character look cool...cause boy does he!
All of this MIGHT be forgivable if the gameplay was good, but even THAT's a problem. There have been numerous times my hits would go right through the enemy (literally as if he were a ghost) and not take any damage. And many times where you're supposed to pick up your enemy's body to throw around and it doesn't work...not to mention trying to "aim" projectile weapons (missile launcher, etc.)
It's not all suck, though. The "melee matches" ARE fun! But it's, for the most part, only fun when your friends are over to share.
All in all, it looks (and plays) like it was made in haste.
It's a sad truth that I (at my age) am just as big a fan of the Turtles as I ever was (minus the posters on the wall and the toys on my floor)...it's for this reason I rate this game a GENEROUS 3 stars.』
(plain in simple melee fun) 『just let me say i was a little worried that this was just going to be another crappy game boy was i wrong tmnt mutant melee is a fun four player party game with over twenty playable characters an fun mimi games my favorite by the way is keep away an last man standing an best of all april o'neil finally gets to kick butt whats not to love about this game.』 『TMNT Mutant Melee is the ultimate TMNT party experience.

Players can take on either mode in single player or play with up to three other friends for a four-player free-for-all.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Wow! Great game for teens - and their parents!) 『This is really a fun game - great exercise and fun. It's actually something parents can do with their teens (particularly since us old people can play on light while they play on heavy and we both have fun). Use this for family time and everyone will have fun without having to actually talk about your feelings.
You really need decent pads though like Red Octane or a metal pad (although you have to wear shoes then). We broke quite a few cheaper pads.』
(Gotta get it!) 『This game is awesome. My whole family loves it and it is a great form of excercise for all ages. Even though there are not too many well known songs it doesn't hinder the fun of it at all. All the songs are up-beat and my kids want to play it daily - which is better than just watching t.v. all day, right? You gotta get this game!』
(The graphics get really annoying.) 『I'm probably older than the average player but I thought this would be fun. Turns out the graphics and sound effects get very annoying and distracting. The music is good but all those extra noises are annoying. The graphics are also terrible by Xbox standards. Overall we just played it a few times and now it hardly gets played at all.』
(Fantastic family fun!) 『I bought this game for Christmas for my daughters and haven't stopped playing it since! We are all new to DDR, so we found even the beginning and "light" songs to be plenty challenging. There is a fun mix of songs that is bound to appeal to a wide range of audiences. I especially find the 80's pop music lots of fun to dance to, but the techno and Japanese songs are fun too. This is a great way to encourage family togetherness, and it gives you a great way to work out too. I use work out mode to keep track of calories burnt. I don't know how accurate it is, but I do know I have been able to keep off the holiday pounds from dancing away the hours on DDR. Can't wait to get some of the other Ultramix titles.
P.S. You might want to invest in a good pad, not the kind that comes with the bundle. A good pad will cost more, but is more accurate and will last longer.』
(Don't Even Bother) 『This game could be decent, but the designers dumb everything down. From the cheesy bubble graphics that compose all of the backgrounds to the quest mode option, this whole game reeks of a sellout for the corny childrens appeal. Whereas Ultramix 1 featured a clear, concise menu system and an organized song selection process, Ultramix 3 has a select bar so huge that only the song or option being selected at the time can be seen. This makes it extremely difficult to find any of the songs or alter any of the options.
A second aspect of this game that makes it inferior to Ultramix 1 is the song content. While Ultramix 1 featured techno dancing songs all the way through, Ultramix 3 goes for the crowd appeal by including old, semi-popular songs that are horrible for higher level players. Any young children or middle aged people that enjoy listening to the songs over the dancing may enjoy this, but for an experienced player the content proves surprisingly dull.
Yet another aspect of the game that could deal with fixing is the timing system on the steps. Maybe it's just the pad but the arrows seem to be a lot more time-precise on Ultramix 3 than in Ultramix 1.
The one redeeming factor in this game is the addition of Sakura and Bag, but this is hardly enough to justify creating an entirely new game and selling it.
If at all possible, I recommend skipping this version entirely and buying Ultramix 1 with the song packs off of X-box live.』 『Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 pushes the boundaries of Xbox Live? to deliver the ultimate in interactive dancing online while maximizing the offline modes for casual, beginner and advanced dancers.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (fun, silly game) 『We're big fans of SMB, especially the "party games" like Target and Bowling and Racing. The game is really silly and fun -- a great escape from reality! It appeals to all ages (my husband and I are in our 30s; our niece thinks it's fun too) and is good at making people laugh at themselves. The monkeys do these weird little dances when you win or complete games; I defy anyone not to find it entertaining :) The music gets a bit annoying, but you don't need the sound on so I recommend turning the sound down on the game and listening to something else.』
(Awesome old school fun) 『This game is so fun! The arcade games are the best, especially the mini golf and the hang glider, the rest of the games aren't that fun. But it is still worth it. Great fun for a few bucks』
(A lot of fun!) 『This game is a lot of fun to play, it's a good single-player game, but even more so are all the multi-player games, from tennis (singles or doubles) to baseball, bowling and others, it'll definitely be worth the money.』
(Monkeys!!!) 『Super Monkey Ball might turn some people off because of the fact that you roll through level after level as a monkey living inside a ball. The object of the game requires you to roll around the levels, going from one place to the other. This can actually make you nauseous after extended periods of play.
Super Monkey Ball gets its fair share of complaints for containing too many rip-offs of standard platform games. It's true the game is very much like a 3D Donkey Kong or Kirby, but you shouldn't dismiss the game until you try it, at least. It will satisfy you, probably. 』
(Fun for the whole family) 『My son's Dad brought this back from Army training and at first I laughed at him. Then we had Margarita night (our son was on a road trip with other family) and played Monkey Golf, Monkey Mini Golf, Monkey Racing, and Monkey bowling till the next thing we knew the sun was coming up. We had four grown, responsible adults laughing and having a great (if loud) time. When our son returned we did it all over again (just without the Margaritas). This is a game that ANYONE can find something to play and it all makes you laugh. I like to watch the little monkey golfer hitting his golf ball that he happens to be standing inside.』 『Super Monkey Ball Deluxe mixes both of the amazing Super Monkey Ball games for hours of hilarious fun!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (darkwatch the review) 『darkwatch is a first person shooter which your an out law who robs the wrong train and releases an evil vampire bent on revenge mixing action and horror to the story its an awsome game if you like first person and horror its a gem of a game』
(Great game and good for mulitplayer too) 『It is more a vampire game. Very unique game. It also have multiplayer option where we can hunt down each other and kill him. It's a great game.』
(Adds style and panache to a genre that's been shot to death) 『I first saw Darkwatch at an electronics convention in New York City and immediately fell in love.
After completing the single-player campaign in Halo 2, I shifted gears to Darkwatch. Where Halo is basically every military science fiction trope (Starship Troopers, Aliens, Predator, Space: Above and Beyond, and Battlestar Galactica to name a few), Darkwatch sets out to create its own genre. And that genre is Wild West Horror.
Darkwatch draws on two sources for inspiration: Deadlands, the pen-and-paper role-playing game, and Pale Rider, a Clint Eastwood Western. Deadlands first combined Victorian gothic horror with Wild West sensibilities, creating a wacky combination of gore and grit. Pale Rider established the notion of a supernatural hero in a Wild West setting. The Darkwatch is a secret organization similar to the one depicted in Van Helsing with access to advanced technology dedicated to keeping supernatural villains under control.
Darkwatch follows the twisted life and death of Jericho Cross, a train robber who decides to rob the wrong train. He unwittingly unleashes Lazarus, an ancient vampire, and thus brings about hell on Earth. For reasons we don't ever fully understand, Lazarus turns Jericho into a vampire. And thus, Jericho has all the cool traits of a vampire, from drinking blood to "blood vision" that allows him to pick out living auras.
What ensues is a visceral shoot-em-up. You can shoot enemies heads off their bodies with a six-gun (called a Redeemer), blow off their limbs with shotguns, and even mow them down with Gatling guns. You can also use a scope rifle similar to the one used in Halo. Did I mention the "rail rocket" AKA bazooka? The game even has a Coyote, similar to the Warthog from Halo. Unfortunately, I didn't read the instructions closely enough; there's a "chieftain" setting on the controller to make Darkwatch's controls match up with Halo's. Which would have helped, as my subsequent Halo games have suffered from playing Darkwatch so much!
Need more parallels to Halo? Instead of the artificial intelligence known as Cortana we have Cassidy Sharp whispering ghostly advice. Jericho has a "blood shield" just like the energy shield in Halo that slowly replenishes. And instead of fragmentation grenades, Jericho throws dynamite...with predictable results. There are even dual pistols that fire in a glorious cacophony at close-range enemies. You can also elbow critters with your ranged weapons, although they're considerably more deadly since in Darkwatch every gun has a blade on the handle. Just `cause it looks cool.
Darkwatch is all about shooting things up. Bottles explode. Bad guys snipe at you from everywhere. And you can fan your pistol, firing at ridiculous speeds. You run and jump across cactus-studded canyons, burning towns, dripping caverns, moving trains, and on horseback. Even the music is reminiscent of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. In short, Darkwatch is most definitely a homage, if a twisted homage, to the Wild West genre it riffs on.
Being a veteran Halo player, I decided to play Darkwatch on the harder setting (Shootist) and I'm glad I did. The game goes by quickly. In addition, the bad guys are repetitive; it suffers from the Diablo-esque tactic of reusing the same enemy model by tweaking it slightly: they're not just evil skeletons, they're SHIMMERY evil skeletons, with twice the EVILNESS! Still, that doesn't keep the aforementioned Reapers from being alternately scary and hilarious. Blowing Reapers' heads off causes them to stumble around in confusion looking for their heads; throwing dynamite causes Reapers to cover their heads and running screaming. And since Reapers lack a lower jaw, they're pretty freaky critters.
Then there are the screaming Banshees that are fond of taunting you. "Run!" they whisper as you run away, or "Dynamite!" when you throw dynamite or my most favorite quote of all, "MY ARM!" after blowing off one of their arms.
In theory, there's a bit of a role-playing element as Jericho whether he wants to reject his vampire/criminal heritage or embrace it. Poor souls, sometimes dead and sometimes living, give Jericho an opportunity to prove his moral character. These choices provide access to good or evil powers, neither of which have a very significant impact on the game.
The single-player storyline is barely coherent and surprisingly adult. There's a video titled Prom Night that will undoubtedly get a lot of replay by male players (my wife thought it was ridiculous). The ending is very abrupt, but I've gotten used to that with games these days.
The multiplayer is excellent; the blood vision power becomes much more important when picking out an intelligent enemy from a distance. The ability to jump really far changes game play, even more than it does in Halo. The multiplayer games can be played with vampire powers turned off, turning it into a traditional Wild West shootout.
Darkwatch doesn't break any new ground as a first-person shooter, but it definitely adds style and panache to a genre that's been shot to death. Playing on hard, I felt I got my money's worth. 』
(if someone gets you this game their not your friend.) 『yes the wild west is always a refreshing change in the first person shooter genre. BUT if you're looking for a game with this descpition GO RENT GUN...it's alot better and you won't want to kick your self every time you turn it on.』
(Something a little different for me) 『
I liked the game when my husband bought it home for me to play i was a bit iffy at first but the more i play and got into it was the more i liked it, it was sort of different for me because of the transportation in most shooting games you always have a car put sometimes riding the horse and shooting was a bit fun for me don't know about any body else.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The best DDR game ever!) 『When I got this game, I was so excited playing it! It has many great songs and is much like the PS2 DDR games. The song wheel on there is basically a recoloring of the DDRMAX song wheel on the PS2. This revolutionized the DDR nation by playing online, downloadable song packs, and more.
Anyway, the songs on here are good, but most of the unlockable songs are great to play. The sound is good, and so are the graphics. The edit mode lets you customize the steps to a certain song. Also, you can do Challenge mode to do challenges on a certain song. This is the one of the two versions of DDR Ultramix (Along with Ultramix 2) to be unlocked through play. All the others (UM 3&4) unlock the song through Quest Mode.

(DDRU) 『My mom bought this game for me awhile ago and I was really excited about it. I had been playing on my friend's DDR game for awhile and I really liked hers.

It's cool when you get a new song, but otherwise this game isn't anything special.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Join the Family) 『I first discovered THE GODFATHER THE GAME while watching ENTOURAGE. Johnny Drama was playing the game and was repeating lines from the movie&game. I don't know why, but that scene fascinated me so much that I decided to play it.
THE GODFATHER THE GAME allows you to play a character who joins the Corleone family after the murder of your father and rise through the family ranks. The ultimate goal is to become not only the Corleone Don, but the Don of New York. For the most part, the storyline follows the plot of THE GODFATHER movie. There are main missions to complete that progress the storyline, but there are also other missions you can complete to increase the family business and wipe out other rival families. You can choose to ignore the smaller missions, but if you wish to become the Don of New York you'll have to complete them. These smaller missions bring you into conflict with rival families and if you attack a rival family too often, you'll incite a Mob War and will have to either bomb a property of the rival family or pay off an FBI agent.
Those who have played GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS will notice many similarities. The games are very similar in the format, but completely different in style. The settings of THE GODFATHER recreate New York City from the late 1950s-early 1960s. Everything from the clothing the characters wear to the cars they drive are vintage. The game is quite violent, but even the violence is a bit more stylistic instead of the more savage and in-your-face violence found in GTA games. Most of the characters from THE GODFATHER movie are seen in the game and they resemble their movie counterparts.
I really enjoyed playing THE GODFATHER. The only negative about the game was all of the driving. There were many times while playing that you had to drive from one part of New York to the other. This was rather tedious, especially if I was across the bridge in the Bronx and had to travel to Hell's Kitchen to complete a mission (that would take about four minutes just to drive).
Overall, though the game doesn't break any new ground, it's an entertaining game that's full of style.』
(Great Game EA..) 『theres not too much bad i can say about this game at all. the graphics on the box are excellent, the controls are flawless and New York in the timeframe of the 50's is captured Beautifully. the Gun Fights are particularly realistic due to the fact that you cant take 10 shots and still live...1 shot from a shotgon and 90% of your life is gone...so youv really got to be smart when going into a gunfight with multiple enemies...because if not, you WILL be killed every single time. the 5 areas that they give you to explore are satisfying, and extorting the shops in all 5 areas will keep you Busy for a VERRYYY long time. that in and of itself could have been the games main focus. overall, if you were interested in Godfather or just like a decent exploration game with shooting action...or if you collect xbox games like me..you NEED to pick this up...you wont be dissapointed. this is right up there with any GTA title you can name, in alot of ways, even better...excellent job E.A...
iLL .』
(A Microcosm of EA) 『Two thing stand out about this game:
1) The remarkable degree to which it was lifted from the GTA franchise 2) How inferior it is to said franchise
Really, it comes down to the difference between EA and Rockstar Games. Rockstar very rarely puts anything less than A effort into their games. Consequently, A ideas become A games and even F ideas become C games. EA puts C effort into most of their games, so even a great idea like this one becomes a B or C game. Not BAD certainly, but far from great.
Some of the flaws of the game are forgivable because they are flawws of the genre: narrative in video games is still in its infancy (in my mind, television is just now coming into its own as a narrative medium and it has been at it a lot longer than video games and is closer to more developed mediums like movies and books). A lot of the flaws, though, are simply problems of too little effort having been put into the game.
I don't BLAME EA for this per se. It is established that people will buy their games even if they put C effort into them. I don't see what motivation they have to put A effort in any more than they do. HAving said that, I didn't notice until I got the game home that it was from EA. Had a noticed that, I wouldn't have bought the games. I'll be more careful in the future.』
(Amazing) 『This game is pretty much GTA but with a much larger story line and one that actually makes sense. The only downside is the small choice of weapons. It is one of the most open ended games i have ever played. You can either play the story, or you can just run around and rob banks or scare businesses owners into sharing their profits with the family. One of the best features is the ability to hire assistants to help you out. It is very enjoyable to attack your rival families compounds and warehouses with your own private army. This is a must own for the 360.』

there isn't much weather option, just day or night, that's it.
soundtrack is good, i just wish you could add custom soundtracks because it's always the same songs and after a while, you know all the words.
MVP has over 100 top prospects, many of real baseball stars but with hidden names.
my only real con against the game is no extras like long sleeves shirts, glasses (Eric Gagne) or walk off homerun celebrations.
my last con is the colors like on the redsox and braves aren't as sharp as the 2k series or The Show, but overall, GREAT game.
If they would update the entire game, rosters, ballparks, jerseys, coaches there would honestly be no reason to buy any other baseball game.
it's that GOOD.』
(Not Bad for XBox) 『This is a great upgrade from MVP 2003. I personally like the MVP 2005 over the 2K6 game. If you like EA Sport, you will love this game.』
(How do you aim your bat?) 『I don't get it? There's no target to zoom in on the ball to hit it? What are you supposed to do? In the past I have always played baseball games that had an oval with an X in the middle to zero in on the pitch to hit it, and that was the most fun part of the game. I don't see that on this one??? (I bought used with no instruction book) If you're telling me your just supposed to hit the swing button when it comes over the plate that is pretty feakin LAME!!!』
(Super Awesome Game,except difficulty!) 『The Graphics on x-box are awesome. You can see everything. The crowd and players look real and touchable! It's cool that you can argue plays,except be carefull because your manager can get kicked out. And keep on checking over the play before you make your decision because I always get kicked out until I figured out that since they won't change the play no matter what so I just put the arguement intensity low so you don't kicked out as easily. The thing is about this game is that even when you put it on rookie I can't win. I score 1 or 2 points at first and then lose. So reccomend you put fielding on assisted. But when you higher the stats of your team,it just gets harder so you you really have to understand what to put! Overall this game is awwwsome. You should definitely buy THIS GAME! This is a MUST-HAVE for a low price like this!!!! ( the owner mode is hard to me but I'm not saying you shouldn't try it)(I'll give you a free cheat for it:create a player named Katie Roy (but don't mess with anything or it won't work)to unlock the legendary team called the Heroes and legendary players such as Noland Ryan,Babe Ruth,etc.)』
(Bestest Baseball) 『This is the best baseball game available. I love the Owner mode where I can control stadium size, ticket cost, concessions, attractions, etc. It's cool to feel like you can actually do more than just play baseball. But you can do that too if you do not like the extras. The game play is smooth, the players look pretty good (I would like more options in creating a player), and the flow of the game is fairly realistic. The mini games add an extra option that is lots of fun when playing with a friend. MVP 2005 lets you control your minor league franchises too. This allows you to develop talent, or you can just stockpile players; the salary cap might effect what you can do, but you can always turn it off. One of the good things about many of the newer games is the ability to fine tune the difficulty levels. No longer is it just EASY, NORMAL,&HARD. The music sucks, but at least you can turn it off. EA Sports lost the baseball licensing after 2005, but I have no doubt that they will eventually regain it because of their superior baseball game. None of the others come close. 』 『this is the best-playing baseball game on the market. It may feel old hat, but it handles the fundamentals and nuances of the game much better than Major League. You really get the distinct feeling that the team spent a lot of time polishing the game to attain the highest level of authenticity possible. Fielding is tighter than last year, allowing players to really get a good feel for each position on the diamond.』
