Crazy Taxi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ever wanted to drive 90 miles an hour through traffic?Now you can.Crazy taxi is a hilarious, fast-paced, extremely fun driving game.The scenario is perfect and guaranteed to create suspense and to cause big laughs.For example, there are a series of challenge games that pit you against a course or a set of obstacles.My children laugh uproariously when I miss a jump and fall down into the depths of the ocean.The main game is full of little details and surprises.The game goes so quickly that you hardly have time to look around the amazingly realistic city you are working in as a taxi driver.One way to limit the inevitable boredom that comes with mastering a game is to start concentrating on exploring the virtual world.Also, there are options for making the game more difficult.Unlike a race game where you are stuck to the course, this game lets you drive on roofs, through train tunnels and even under the water.There's a sort of guilty joy that comes with driving through the mall in the wake of screaming pedestrians.
This last bit of fun is part of the reason that I don't recommend the game for children and why it is rated Teen.This game does not model thoughtful, defensive driving!Parents should know that some of the characters use mild curse words and say "unsupportive things."Also, the "F" word can be heard on the soundtrack in at least one of the songs.And, I'm sure you're child would hear the song enough times to start to be able to pick out the words.You can turn off the music and the game is just as fun.I think the hard driving music does add an appropriate element of "crazy" to crazy taxi.I recommend Crazy Taxi very highly!

Burnout Revenge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the Burnout series, and it just seems to get better with each new reincarnation, Revenge is no exception. Instead of calling it Burnout 4, the name "Revenge" is implimented with the idea to get revenge on the other drivers if they take you down. It's a great new addition to an already fantastic series.

The game is faster, a lot faster. I can't believe the sense of speed in Burnout Revenge. Running at a blazing 60 frames per second at 200MPH is certainly a site to behold. No popup, no slowdown, just smooth blazing fast speed.

The most enticing new aspect is the ability to slam cars going in the same direction as you. One reviewer in here says it takes away the "charm" stating "to me the biggest rush in burnout 3 was going 200mph flying in between cars and knowing that one little mess up was going to send me flipping and slamming wildly into the wall." That's a good point, but you can still have that feeling when you choose to go in the opposite lane as on-coming traffic still can take you out just the same.

This trash every car idea was even turned into a full fledged mode called "Traffic Attack" that is strictly for smashing up cars. The goal is basically to destroy as many cars as possible within the alloted time. You get precious seconds added the more cars you smash consecutively. It's very fun mind you, but it's actually quite easy to get gold in this mode.

Opponents are very aggresive in Revenge. Cars will sideswipe you around like there is no tomorrow especially if you just sit there without defending yourself. If you get taken out directly be an opponent, you can acquire added bonuses for taking revenge on the car that knocked you out. The more revenge bonuses you get, the more goodies you'll tally up in the process.

Expect a lot more tracks in Revenge. While a few seem to be reminiscent of past Burnout games, most of these tracks are new and made from scratch. The game looks a bit darker this time around, and the tracks are longer and more grueling than ever. Still expect to attack downtown traffic infested cities, desolate crowded freeways, streets of Roman sites, wintery interstates and isolated country scenes. I still would have liked to see the "weather" factor return for Revenge and the ability to change the time of day, but that' just a little nitpick.

All the modes are back, Road Rage, single player, crash, and the new traffic attack which really adds some fun. Full multiplayer between 2-6 players is impliments online with all the modes offers. I haven't got a chance to play online yet, but you can bet your boots this game is just as fun playing online as it with yourself, and probably even more so for other gamers. If you have XBOX Live, you defintely should take the game online to rule the streets. The cars are still not authentic licensed vehicles, no Beamers, no Corvettes or Porshes. But the "creative" copies of actual cars look fantastic and they all look so cool, you wish they were actual cars. Licensed cars would have great with all the brand names, but most have a problem with trashing them in a video game, so this is how they go around it, they make up their own. And thanks to this being an "EA" game, if you have a Madden 06 save on your XBOX, you automatically get the "Madden Van" at the beginning of the game. E.A., always thinking of one more way to advertise their gridiron monster.

Burnout Revenge is better than all the Burnouts in the past. More modes, more cars, more tracks, more speed, more frenzied racing. It's the fastest racer you'll ever play and anyone, even non-gamers would probably have a blast with Burnout Revenge. A must have for XBOX owners.

Katamari Damacy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One thing can be said for certain: you haven't played a game like this before. Everything about this game is off-the-wall, but it works.When you load the game for the first time, you will be greeted with giraffes, rainbows, bicycles, and a plethora of other things- all performing some contorted dance- just for you.Welcome to the world of Katamari Damacy, where the gameplay is original and surprisingly addictive.Your goal?- roll your sticky ball around to collect the "objects from earth".As your ball gets bigger, you can pick up bigger things.So you go on a hunt to keep growing your ball.The levels you play in are simply huge- I never felt like I had seen everything in a level- so replay level is quite high.Meanwhile, the background music is a lot of fun, good enough to put you in a good mood if the rest of the game doesn't.And the story- without ruining anything- has to be the product of mixing drugs and alcohol.The controls are quite simple, employing only the analog sticks and a couple shoulder buttons (although I never found much use for the shoulder buttons).When I heard about and found the game, I worried that it would be too simplistic to entertain me- it seems my worries were unfounded; Katamari Damacy is a great game for everyone....and cheap, too!
