A little more work here and there, especially with the graphics and the sub-par soundtrack features would have had this game scraping a nine instead of just making an eight.

An absolute must for RTS players.

I would go so far as to say that this game has the best micromanagement system in any RTS. The options were sufficient to attract gamers from a fairly wide spectrum, and the graphics, considering the scale of the game, were incredible.

The technology progression in Empire Earth II is nothing short of spectacular.

Combines some of the basic FPS elements with some of the more dramatic things that have evolved from the recent FPS titles, and has collected them into a semi-solid mass that thoroughly entertains.

Their only major failing was the combat system.

Puncturing the pretentious balloon of Star Wars with amusingly colored bricks is a noble goal. And if nothing else, there's always the light puzzle that triggers NPC disco dancing to a techno remix of the Star Wars music.

Aside from the stunningly bad end-game sequence which really needs to be seen to be believed, there's just not much here to recommend.

Go into a room, a closet opens and about a million monsters pile out. You shoot these things with a gun and go into the next room. I mean, seriously, it's Doom. What do you expect?

Though I’d like to make one small request – can we please can the “extreme” direction that the series is taking and just make a Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 without the story elements? My brain cells would thank you.

Blending the fast-paced “kill ‘em all” style of "Devil May Cry" with some enigmatic puzzles reminiscent of classic adventure games like "Zelda" or "Prince of Persia," God of War simply takes the best of these genres and packages them together in a blood bath of entertainment.

With just enough simulation style presentation to wow gamers and blending in just enough arcade style gameplay to ensure that everyone can enjoy the title, Ridge Racer is a definite pick.

As with any game similar to Diablo, it's definitely geared toward group play. It's just more fun to slice and dice your way through so many monsters you're neck deep in blood with a friend.

A boring, clunky game that should come with a written apology and a refund packaged in the box.

Itâ??s a great launch title, but generally speaking a mediocre game. I just couldnâ??t get over the terrible third-person view, which forces players to deal with clunky and wholly frustrating gameplay due to poor design.

There’s a sense of respect in the game, a sort of homage to the past, that isn’t available in other WWII shooters. Couple that with a truly magnificent presentation.

I actually found myself going back and replaying some of the scenarios, I enjoyed them that much.

If you like card games or twitch combat then this one is definitely for you.

And while the commanders feel a little hollow, they are sufficient to get into the spirit of the game. Veterans of the genre may find themselves hungering for more, but new to intermediate players should be pleased with the offering.

At times completely consuming and gripping, at occasions unintentionally abstract and annoying.

One hit knockdowns were cheesy initially, but now they're a feature that renders multiplayer pointless.

With a horde of weapons, enemies, and strategies, PS2 gamers will find themselves smiling happily to themselves. The Project was a success.

With 140 seasons the game has a lot of re-use potential.

You are not going to find a better game for $20.

A marvelous game. However, you may want to have some popcorn with you while you play. Xenosaga: Episode 2’s cut-scenes are long and plentiful, about four and a half hours in total.
