FIFA 06: Road To Fifa World Cup (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: Underated due to it being a RTWC game
Now initaly i laughed at this game. I completed it on amatuer with ease, qualified for the world cup, and that was it! Game over! I still had fun, but dismissed it………… Then the guys came round!

This has quickly become the most played multiplayer game at mine when people are round! On 1 player it can be hard work lining up some nice passes for a crack on goal, but with an actual person running down the wing, moving into space, it opens up so much more! And obviously once people have got a feel for it you progress from amateur which brings me to another good point, World Class isnt the top here! You have the option of a ‘Perfect’ setting which is where the great competition and the closely fought, edge of the seat, games are played!

Personaly I love the defence on this game. It is just so solid! these defenders are like a solid wall you have to either work your way down a wing for a cross or pull off some nice passing play that will use up every ounce of concentration you have!

Now there are some bad points too, like the age old problem of the change player button being the same as pass, so you give the ball away when you wernt expecting to recieve it. And the shooting is very unique, No real charging here, just a quick press if your in front of goal, or an even quicker one of your outside the box! But these aside, I have been getting dissapointed with the fifa games, ever since the amazing Fifa 2003 to current day, so this was a lovely suprise that has revitalised the fifa franchise for me!

Customer Review: A game that leaves a sour taste in an unsatisfied player
This installment of Fifa 06 is fundamentally flawed. The feeling for me is that they’ve taken on board the discussions that its nemesis, the Pro Evolution Soccer series, has faster gameplay, and subsequently just speeded up the animations on the players. The problems actually lie elsewhere: too many attacks are broken down by your own team-mates’ inabilities to make intelligent runs (even when you direct them to do so); the opposition AI accounts for the fact you’ll eventually work out how to build up regular attacks by frequently scoring on their breaks; and hitting the back of the net relies primarily on chance more than any kind of advanced skill. Additionally, a slide tackle is too risky of a booking or sending off, causing most off ball play to involve holding down the standing tackle and hoping your players are stronger and faster than the opposition.

It does have some crowning achievements. The goalkeeping AI is, if a little underconfident, pretty sensible and realistic. It is often the case that your goalie will keep you in a game by pulling off a reasonable save, which trumps rivals’ efforts. The animations and attention to detail on some of the players’ faces are extremely commendable, and it is obvious time has been spent on this aspect, even if the brighter shirts can get a bit radioactive on close up shots. Another point worth noting is the inclusion of training sessions over the loading screens, which ensures the player is constantly engaged in action - something also afforded by the quick tactics box that pops up during stoppages in play. The Classics XI, the unlockable classic shirts and the immense soundtrack also contribute to the fun, but it just doesn’t save this flawed title.

The final remarks must be given to the depth of the game itself, or lack of. Calling a game ROAD TO FIFA WORLD CUP doesn’t mean you can get away with not including the main tournament itself. Once you’ve qualified, it’s the end of the line. Presumably, the thinking was we’d be so thirsty for more we’d all rush out and buy the follow up title, FIFA WORLD CUP 2006. Not likely. It is assumed that EA tried to make up for the lack of depth by ramping up the opponent AI to a far superior level to that of the user, but this just inadvertently renders every game a chore rather than a challenge, even on the easier settings. It is in this final hurrah, a real kick in the teeth for those who spent ?50 on it at launch, that FIFA 06: RTFWC will ultimately be remembered as an unsatisfactory game. Couple it with the fact you can’t actually pick anyone outside of Europe for the single player qualifier mode, and you really do start to feel cheated out of your hard earned cash.

I see no way I could recommend this game to anybody. There was a time it was a best-seller, but this is down to the fact it was, for several months, the only football title available on the 360. If you’re reading this review, you’re thinking about this title. Add it to your roster if you’re the kind of person who wants some easy gamerpoints. If you have more interesting things to do, like enjoying computer games, then save your money and opt for the far superior, vaster and ultimately more fun Pro Evolution Soccer 6.

Far Cry Instincts: Predator (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Hapless antihero Jack Carver starts on his first ever Xbox 360 adventure, featuring advanced graphics and enemy artificial intelligence that rival even the original PC version.

The lowdown:
More than any other first person shooter the Far Cry games have been a perverse combination of beautiful graphics (in this case a gorgeous tropical island) and uncompromising violence. This new Xbox 360 version includes a revamped version of the highly rated Xbox game, as well as an all-new expansion named Evolution. You start Evolution with all the bestial powers you gained in Instincts, including one hit kills and night vision, and as you’d expect the graphics have been given a serious overhaul - not just in terms of resolution but also the complexity and detail of everything in the game from enemy soldiers to the beautifully rolling sea.

Most exciting moment:
Taking out bad guys from your jet ski as you use it to jump ashore, run into the jungle, and quickly set-up a booby trap to stop pursuing bad guys.

Since you ask:
The new single player campaign Evolution will also be made available for the Xbox as a budget priced stand alone expansion.

The bottom line:
The best looking console Far Cry yet, with almost two games in one.- Harrison Dent

Customer Review: In parts can be the most fun xbox game I’ve played
Now, I had the Original Far Cry for the PC and that game was fantastic. Great gameplay, gorgeous environments and a large sense of freedom. First Person Shooters had always been about dark and gloomy factory corridors and other boring environments. It gave you fun gameplay in an environment that you’d naturally want to explore and play in regardless. Skip to Far Cry Instincts: Predator. A port from the Original xbox game, as it failed to meet the backwards compatibility list. Taking the Far Cry core mechanics and adding a bunch of feral powers such as Extreme running, tracking by smell and a lethal claw attack. These additions can be huge amounts of fun both on/offline. The game includes the original Instincts storyline and adds a second story mode called evolution. This extends the life of the game and gives you quite a lot for your money. The Online mode is pretty fun. Predator mode, where one person is a feral beast with all the powers against a group of helpless mercenaries. Included with depth map editor that can be a lot of fun to use online, aswell as the actual building. To sum it up.. I loved the original Far Cry. This game doesn’t quite feel like the original, it loses something in the process. BUT it adds so much more and can be great fun just like the original. If you had the original xbox game, there isn’t enough here to have paid the full release price, but for a cheaper price is worth checking out. Are you a fan of FPS games? If so you owe it to yourself to play this game. It’s been a highly underrated xbox 360 title and I would advise anyone to make their own decision about it, rather than accepting some of the dire reviews.
Customer Review: Best to avoid
Personnel opinion but this is a godawfull game, the AI is incredibly and stupid and the way the game plays is so ugly and repetitive. It would seem that the only thing going for it is the graphics which are very pretty but thats about it. Also playing the through the single player, the AI has the very annoying ability to always know exactly where you are, even hiding behind buildings and plantation Would honestly save the money and buy dead rising or better yet splintercell (better graphics and more fun than this) Sorry but a big thumbs down for this

Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
X-Men Legends expands into the whole of the Marvel universe with a game featuring more heroes, villains and superhero brawls than a hundred mighty Marvel crossovers.

The lowdown:
It was hardly the deepest action role-player around, but with X-Men Legends, developer Raven found the perfect balance for most comic book fans, between simple action and an expectedly convoluted storyline featuring as many characters as possible. This is basically the same game turned up to 11, as you initially take control of Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine in a battle against Dr Doom and his newfound allies. The graphics are perhaps not quite as detailed as they could be but the scope of the story and the variety of the settings more than makes up for it. Considering how much the game packs in there’s few Marvel diehards that will be disappointed by this.

Most exciting moment:
Although the game works perfectly well on your own it’s really at its best when playing with friends. Depending on the system, you get both online and four-player options, with each player controlling a hero. Many of the superpowers can be combined into a single special move making team work a must (until there’s a fight over a health power-up anyway).

Since you ask:
Although all the obvious heroes are included as playable characters some of the more obscure unlockables include Black Panther, Daredevil, Nick Fury and Silver Surfer. There’s also four exclusive characters for the PSP version (including Captain Marvel and Hawkeye) and more for the Xbox 360 such as Colossus and Moon Knight.

The bottom line:
The ultimate celebration of the Marvel universe in interactive form.-HARRISON DENT

Customer Review: Great multiplayer, dull single player
What more could you want from a videogame than dozens of superheroes from the Marvel universe getting together in one game to save the world(s)?! Most of the best are here including Spiderman, Captain America, X-Men, Ironman, Fantastic 4, Thor, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, Blade, Elecktra and many more, but unfortunately some of my favourites such as The Punisher, Dare Devil and The Incredible Hulk are missing for some reason. That aside, it is a fantastic game where you run around literally bashing everything in sight, so it is not much of a thinking game at all. One of the best things about this game is the end of level bosses which are huge. Also, in one of the levels about halfway through there is an arcade machine section where your superhero is sucked into the cabinet and then has to play through a level of the classic 80’s game “Pitfall” to progress. On single player this game unfortunately gets very repetitive very quickly, but on multiplayer this game is great fun where between 2 and 4 players can team up and go through the main story together. As a bonus to the main story there are various comic book missions where a selected hero plays out some of their most famous stories from the comics. Overall this is a good game that is fun while it lasts but there is not really any replay value in it at all.
Customer Review: Brlliant
My son bought this game and he loves it it is great as it is four player co-op and you have a choice of over 20 characters, from people like the Thing, Wolverine, Spiderman, Ghost Rider, DareDevil and lots more. But this game is not only for boys there are also five women characters aswell so even a girl could play. This game is one of the best co-op games around and this is coming from someone who loves co-op games!!!!! THIS IS A MUST BUY!!!!
