Customer Review: Annoying and lacking in the fun factor
Oh well, I really hoped this would be the 3d sonic game that recaptured the fun of the 2d originals. The graphics are no better than sonic adventure on the sega dreamcast, the camera is frustrating and the gameplay is very linear.
Customer Review: Very good game, but a few annoying things
I bought this game and was expecting awesome flowing gameplay, improved graphics and an easier way of playing from sonic adventure 2. The graphics i feel are superb for a game like this, i mean you cant make a game like this look too real otherwise it would get rid of the cartoon element of it. The gameplay overall is good, but the characters can become difficult to control at times due to the cameras movement, yes they can be rectified by the trigger buttons but they dont always help. Loading screens will annoy a lot of people on this game but you can get used to them, and the game does flow when they are not around. The levels on this game are cool, and remind me a lot of the 1st title on the dreamcast, sonic adventure, which was a great sonic game, probably the best 3d game. Sonic the hedgehog does live up to a lot of expectations for me, and i hate it when people slate a game for a few poor reasons, i would definitely recommend this title to anybody.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Lara Croft is finally back in the first game to do her legacy justice since the days of the original PlayStation. With updated graphics and gameplay, and a whole new suite of moves and equipment this is the sequel fans have always demanded.
The lowdown:
After the disappointment of Angel of Darkness, the Tomb Raider series has gone back to basics with a new developer and even a new Lara. Combat is back to being only around a third of the game with everything else centred on platform jumping and puzzle solving. To help this, there’s a canny new movement system that allows Lara to jump onto and grab objects at an angle, so there’s none of the awkward grid based movement of the earlier games. This is also the first Tomb Raider to have a proper physics engine, with lots of the puzzles revolving around movement and the use of Lara’s natty new magnetic grappling hook. The graphics are also excellent, and with input from the original creator this is a long awaited return to form.
Most exciting moment:
The realisation that this is actually a proper update of the original game, as Lara leaps around cliffs like a mountain goat, with graphics and controls that aren’t still stuck in 1996.
Since you ask:
The new voice of Lara is provided by Keeley Hawes, who also plays Zoe Reynolds in BBC TV show Spooks.
The bottom line:
Lara Croft is back in the first decent new Tomb Raider game for a long time.

Customer Review: Princess of Persia?
Had this game for ages and got round to playing and completing in a few days, I must admit its not half bad- or good in fact. You know the story and general gameplay of Tomb raiders - Run around, solve crypt puzzle and generally further your gameplay by not swan diving on a load of rocks. This follows memories raised by lara and her journey around the globe looking for treasure. Graphically it’s pretty good - characters are well voice acted and well designed. ( but yet again some breast crazed nutjob has designed Lara- how she can run,jump and climb with that baggage is anyones guess?) Level design is also good not yet got the scale and height of the out door climbs and puzzles to Prince of persia scale yet but not far off. Now the bad - The guncontrol is brilliant upto a point and then a slight mis-calculated flick of the right thumb stick and your left targeting something completely random. The semi final boss is horrendously bad to target and hit and then the so called grapple button works when is wants. The extremely bad camera angles are a major woe, at points when you need to know exactly where to land, the camera throws a wobbly and your left facing lara rather behind her and as you expect you cant see the jump your trying to make and go flying off a cliff. The jumping control has a few niggles that are mainly caused by the above bad camera work but at points you just dont feel confiedent in Lara’s abilty to jump gaps or leap boxes etc. This is a massive improvement on previous Tomb Raiders and I generally look forward to the next, But .. and its a massive But… I still believe in story,graphics and general frantic puzzle solving and leaping Prince of Persia has it nailed. With Assassins Creed (From POP studios- Ubisoft) soon out this will show how far behind poor old Lara’s fallen behind in the 3rd person action,adventure,puzzle series. Tomb Raider Legend- hmmm not even close. Tomb Raider -Semi heard off - yes.
Customer Review: Enjoyable but…
I have to say that although i like this, to me it just didn’t ‘feel’ like a Tomb Raider game. Having played all the others(my favourite being the last revelation), i was quite miffed at the ease in which this game is completed (not to mention how short it is). It’s too linear… I missed the hunting around for hours trying to find clues and taxing my brain… the so called ‘puzzles’ in this version are so easy they may as well have not had them on there, and don’t even get me started on the ‘cut scene- press the correct colour button’ parts which were a disgraceful thing to include. Maybe i’m being too nostalgic towards the old games. I rather think that this one has been aimed at a more mass market… shame really. All that said though (i did say i like this game and here’s why)… it’s enjoyable to play. The graphics are quite stunning, and the gameplay is very fluid and smoothly running. The parts where you control Lara as she climbs and jumps across ledges are absolutely brilliant. All in all, it’s a good game but not entirely a ‘Tomb Raider’ for those who were really into the original.

Wireless Headset (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Pretty good
It really is amazing how much more comfortable this is. I was chatting with a mate for half an hour and when I took the wired headset off my left ear was aching all day. Clip this on and it’s great! You don’t have to take it off to go to the kitchen or anywhere else and it’s cool letting a friend talk while you play without fumbling and having to set right beside them. You remember when you first got a wireless controller and whenever anyone walked in front you would move it to stop it snagging when you didn’t need to? It feels just like that.
Unfortunately my friend trod on mine in a huge hiking boot, but it does mean I can get the Halo 3 one!
Customer Review: Better than the normal headset!
I was wary about buying this headset seeing you get a free one with the xbox and I also had bought the camera which gives you another wired headset. But I bought it on recommendation from a friend. It’s very clear and crisp and the audio is so much better than the wired headset. I’ve toggled between using the two and the difference really is notable. And you can go quite far giving you the freedom to move about. And it’s more comfortable. The only annoying thing, as with all wireless equipment is the recharging but it the batteries do last quite a while. Definately worth buying.
