    This is one of those infamous games that you'll pick up long after completion just for the fun of it.

    The game has a great look and feel to it, but the gameplay, while fast-paced, borders on being shallow.

    This may be a tad bias of a score for this game but whatever. This was my second favorite Xbox game. For kids who aren't ape about graphics, or gameplay (or story for that matter), this game is hours of fun. It was the first game where I really got to interact with just about every non background piece of the environment and beat stuff to a pulp with it! If your just looking for something to pass the time, not an Illiad of gaming, this is a great buy.… Expand
