Ghost Recon 2
The 2nd installment for the Ghost Recon series is a nice upgrade from the first game in just
about every way. The Graphics have been improved quite a bit, so you no longer have the dated angular hills and stick figure
like trees. The single player missions are varied and entertaining. The enemy AI is also been improved and give you a run
for your money at times. The online portion of the game is the best part GR2, with modes like SOLO, Co-op, and Squad. Each
of these modes have different styles to them as well like Sharpshooter (deathmatch), Domination, Siege, Last Man Standing
and Hamburger Hill. I highly recommend this version of the game. The PS2 version is a totally different game and gets a much
lower score in many areas. .........................................................9.0 rating *
Burnout 3: Takedown
Burnout 3: Takedown is not just a racing game, its much more then that. You do race opponents and
against the clock but you get points and boost for creating massive wrecks of the other racers with either the wall or traffic.
The graphics are sharp and the game has a nice frame rate but the crashes are spectacular at times and is a big part of the
game. The control is dead on and very responsive. There is a nice selection of tracks and prove to be very useful in destroying
your opponent. The game does sport online racing and is one of the best parts of the game. I highly recommend this title for
your collection........................9.0 rating *
Need for speed: Hot Pursuit 2

This is the sequel to one of the best racing games
for the PSone. This version has nice graphics and great gameplay though its different from the original in the handling
department. In the first game the cops were chasing you as you raced an opponent to the finish line, this is the case in this
version as well. There is a variety of tracks and cars to choose from as well as a few modes to try ( Knockout-Hot Pursuit-Solo..etc).There
is no online feature unfortunately but you can play split screen for 2 player mode. I recommend this game for collection.........................................................................8.0

This first person shooter is set in the jungles of Vietnam during the war from 1966 to 1975. The
game is mediocre in just about about every aspect, the controls aren't broken but doesn't give you that precise movement.
The graphics aren't bad but seem less than what the XBOX can do. The level design is ok but way too linear for my taste. The
online portion of the game is nothing special but does add some replay value since there is usually a few games going on.
I don't recommend this game since there is so many good FPS games out there that you would rather spend your money on.

The WWII first Person Shooter is one of the best around, easily beating the Medal
Of Honor series hands down. The game is actually squad-based and has you in command. The graphics
are great and the controls are very good. The story is actually good and gets you involved with characters. I didn't like
the online portion since it only had Co-op mode. I think there should always be a Squad mode and Deathmatch. I do highly recommend
this game though................................................8.5 rating *

Destroy All Humans on the Xbox is a nice twist on the GTA formula and the story is pretty funny.
As Crypto 137, you will have to harvest human brain stems and stop Majestic in controlling the airwaves with subliminal messages.
You have a zapper, a fire gun, mental abilities and a ship at your command. You can wander the streets with the "HoloBob"
which disguises you ( and it is needed for some missions) or scare the locals as your bad grey self. This is a good game to
add to your collection. I recommend this game......................................................8.5 rating *
