They tell me this is better on Xbox than PC, but I just don't understand what separates this from many other FPSs. The single player mode in this is very repetitive, I feel like I'm fighting the same three aliens level after level and similarly the lack of weapons becomes an issue. On the multiplayer side again, a deathmatch is a deathmatch, nothing overly different. One of those games people either love or find to be overrated. The music is fantastic though.

I didn't get this game until 2011, and despite it being released in 2008, I couldn't help but be disappointed with the graphics. I don't think they are that much better than San Andreas was. The worst thing though is the driving camera. You shouldn't have to move the mouse while you drive, it is ridiculous. it's worth noting also that the driving feels more realistic than the arcadey feel of previous GTA titles. As far as the positives go, if you like GTA games you won't be displeased with the gameplay. It is what we've had in the past. Driving missions, shooting missions, driving and shooting missions and so on. Again though, whether they have pushed the envelope enough with new features, or whether they have just put you in a new different environment to do the same things gamers have done before is debatable. I feel as it is more towards the former.

This is basically tiggy/capture the flag that gets my heart going as the end of a close round nears. Bloodlines on the PSX is the closest game to it that I've played. Does what it sets out to do well, but gets repetitive.

This game literally takes 5-10 minutes to complete. All there is are 4-5 puzzles to try to find Wally and the scrolls in. I feel sorry for the people who bought this.

Many tennis games don't require reading a game manual or following any instructions and have been a simple case of working out what button is top spin, what is slice etc. This requires a slightly longer learning curve with movement of the right analog stick acting as the strokes which is a welcome change I guess and is easier than it sounds to learn and works fairly well. The career mode itself has no difficulty settings and just increases with difficulty each year. This makes for some boring moments in the early years where you'll have to work hard to lose points. The game also makes you sit through points being added after matches and the tournament draws. No one has time for that! The loading during the player creation process is also very slow. Graphically it is very good, but arguably isn't up to its rivals Top Spin 4 or Virtua Tennis 4. While featuring the 4 grand slams, the authenticity is lacking, only featuring a few current players and some legends, so in the tournaments you'll play against made-up players. Now that I think of it this is the case for most to all tennis games. They don't seem to feature many players on the tour...
