Customer Review: Oozes Cool….
So it’s only ?20 quid cheaper than the Elite console, who care’s, it’s a thing of beauty, all green and Master Chief ‘ish, go on, treat your self, buy it….
Customer Review: Quick and Easy
Straight out of the box and playing within minutes. The only reason I got an Xbox was to play Halo 3 with pals and online. I paid the extra ?20 quid or so for the halo edition becuase it stands out and is different and is a newer version and less likly to over heat or have problems. (not sure if this is correct but what I have heard). You are only getting half of the game if you do not use Xbox Live! Enjoy! I know I am…… Rob

Saints Row (Xbox 360 Classics)

In a nutshell:
There’s no new Grand Theft Auto game scheduled until late next year, but in the meantime 360 owners have got the next best thing, as you and your fellow gang members try to take control of a whole city to turn into your personal playground.

The lowdown:
It is pretty hard to describe this game without mentioning Grand Theft Auto, since the gameplay and even mission structure is based very closely on Rockstar’s classic. Of course being on the Xbox 360 the graphics are better than they ever were before, with a huge draw distance and streets that are very much fuller of vehicles and people than the real Grand Theft Auto. In fact the only thing that’s missing is Rockstar’s trademark black humour, replaced here with constant references to pimps and ???hos??. There are though over 80 different vehicles to commandeer, all of which can be customised however you want.

Most exciting moment:
Although the city in which you battle is already bigger than Vice City the most impressive thing about the game’s graphics is the enormous amount of damage you can cause to vehicles and buildings. The game even remembers individual bullet holes on your prized car.

Since you ask:
The characters in Saint’s Row come in all shapes and sizes – not just the physically perfect mannequins of most other games. You can completely customise your own character, making them as fat, thin or buff looking as you wish.

The bottom line:
Grand Theft Auto 3.5 in all but name, that should make the wait till next October all the easier.

Customer Review: Great game online and offline!
Saints Row is one of the best games I have ever played. Offline is amazing and I never get bored of it, but online there is a few things that wrecked this game from being the best. Saints Row 2 is coming out September 2008 and I cannot wait for it. But overall must buy game.
Customer Review: This is the reason you need an Xbox 360.
When i bought this game, i wondered what all the fuss is about. Like someone has already said, i thought i was going to get a Grand Theft Auto knock-off or at least something along those lines. But by god was i wrong. This game is an absolute joy from start to finish, some mouth watering visuals, from explosions, weather conditions and vehicles. The games characters are full of life, and the story line is gripping. The customisation on the cars is excellent, although a lack lustered effort to produce alot of modification, you can still arrive at a satisfactory look for your ride. My favourite aspect(s) of the game is the respect system. This adds lifetime to the game, and definately some replay value. The respect bar needs to be filled before one can attempt another mission. I think of it like mission-money, you need respect to buy new missions. This prevents the player from burning it through the whole game in one evening. The rediculous selection of activities available to earn respect brings hours and hours of entertainment, although one can become bored of the same-thing-but-different-person trouble with the activities, the majority of the time, i was smiling with enjoyment. The second aspect is the character customisation, absolutely fantastic. Physics have been added to pendants and necklaces which makes them sway when you run, which makes it gorgeous to look at. If you want GTA on the 360 without planes and boats and motorbikes, this game is a must buy.

Customer Review: Not as Good as it Could Be
This game shines… in the most part it is the most beautifully presented game I have ever seen. The character models and their facial expressions are truly a wonder to behold. However - the on foot combat is at best ordinary and the in vehicle combat tedious and frustrating. Many of the worlds (particularly the unpopulated ones)look practically identical. This is not KOTOR - it’s not even Jade Empire - but a poor third. Nevertheless, I’m sure we’ve all played worse games and it does pass the time.
Customer Review: WARNING: Time will fly by when you are in this game
Thank goodness this game does not play out like “Call of Duty 4″…. What a disappointment that was: a 5-hour solo campaign? Dear or dear…. Mass Effect is advertised as a Role Playing Game (look this up if you are not sure what it means), and since most games billed as RPGs are invariably FPS’s with just vague role-play element (such as skill upgrades), I felt blessed to behold Mass Effect. It’s like being in a CGI movie like “Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within”, only you are in control of the main character and the story is far more interesting. And just when you think that’s it, you realize that combat engine is inspired from “Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter” (which is much more original in game play than “Call of Duty 4″). Make sure you have a handle on the position of the sun when you play this game, as my quick little half-hour session yesterday was actually 4 hours without me even realizing. On a further note, girlfriends/boyfriends/flatmates may not mind you hogging the lounge TV with this title, as they will probably find it entertaining to watch like some new anim? movie. You’ll need them to supply you with fluids anyway.

Halo 3 (Xbox 360) The Halo games were always the best reason to by an Xbox and now the final part in the initial trilogy of ground breaking first person shooters is set to raise the bar for all Xbox 360 games. Well known for their secrecy, Bungie have officially revealed little about Halo 3, but what is known is that the new game features an Earth completely overtaken and controlled by the Covenant, as they seek a secret hidden Forerunner weapon.

Although little is known about the single player mode, more has been seen of the multiplayer, with various beta testing schemes going on in both secret and in public. A number of new weapons and vehicles have already been revealed including a new assault rifle, the new Spartan laser anti-vehicle weapon and a new hand held shield device for Master Chief that can create a far more effective protective shield around you. New vehicles include the ATV-like Mongoose, a new variant of the Warthog and the new, more powerful, Brute Ghost.

Of course the most important new feature that every new fan is interested in is the graphics, and they are looking predictably fantastic. With lots of technobabble, new features like high dynamic range lightning and pre-computed radiance transfer means the game will not only play great but looks amazing too.

Customer Review: Never was going to live up to the hype
very dissapointing end to the trilogy. it was never going to live up to the hype but the sheer level of dissapointment is a big loss. now don’t get me wrong it is a good fun game, but it is a lot worse than it could have been. the campaign is way too short. on legendary mode me and a mate did it in 5 hours! that is not good enough. the graphics are rather dissapointing and the online multiplayer is to. it is good fun online but with only 3 or 4 good maps you are left with little to do in terms of replay value. i don’t really reccoment this game unless you are a huge halo fan in which case you would already own the game.

if you want to buy a FPS but don’t have Halo3 get COD4 instead, it has much better graphics, a wider range of weaponary, more reallistic and satisfying kills and an exellent campaign.

GET COD4!

Customer Review: Above expectations
A nice way to end the halo trilogy cut scenes aren’t over used and its an incredible game. If you complete it on legendary and see the extended ending after the credits then you should feel satisfied. Complete it at least twice to take in the game in more detail. A must have game for anyones gaming collection.
