NBA Street is a street ball game, where there's no fouls, no out of bounds, and no foul shots. Also in this game you can pick different parks to play at. Such parks as Rucker Park, The Loop, Venice Beach, and many more. Also you can make your own player. This game is rated E and is for the Gamecube, and PS2. <B>Graphics: 95% Gameplay: 98% Sound: 90% Total score: 95 % </B> </div> <bR> <div> <U>Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex-</U> In this game Crash has to face Cortex again , but in a whole new adventure. In this game there's not that much of a difference from other Crash Bandicoot games, except for the graphics and the story. This game is rated E, and is for the PS2 and XBOX. <B>Graphics: 80% Gameplay: 85% </B><B> Sound: 83% Total score: 83% </B> </div> <bR> <div> <U>Rocket Power: Team Rocket Rescue- </U> In this game, Sno-mart is taking over Ocean Shores and is taking business away from Rocket Boards, and the rocket power kids have to save it. I think that this game has terrible graphics, and terrible gameplay. This game is rated E, and is for the Playstation. <B>Graphics: 50% Gameplay: 60% Sound: 70% Total score: 60%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Super Smash Bros. Melee-</U> This game is the sequel to the N64 game Super Smash Bros. In this game, Nintendo charaters fight [like mario,and luigi] . Then when you're ready you can compete in different events, to get trophies. To get all of the trophies is almost impossible. This game is rated T, and is for the Gamecube.</div> <div> <B>Graphics: 95% Gameplay: 100% Sound: 95% Total Score: 97%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Action Bass-</U> This fishing game is very, very, bad. The only thing good about this game is the aquarium where you could keep the fish that you have in. The tournament is extremely hard! In the first level you have to catch all the fish you can in 2 min., and the CPU players play as if they had 7 min. And when you catch a fish it says "Fish On!", which is very annoying. Also when they show the title screen, they have this wack music that goes "DA-DA-DA [wait 4 sec.] DO-DO-DO [wait 2 sec] DA-DA". And it goes over and over and over. There hasn't really been that many great fishing games. The two best fishing games out there are Sega Bass Fishing for the dreamcast, and Basshunter 64 for the nintendo 64. Action Bass is rated E and is for the Playstation.</div> <div> <B>Graphics: 80% Sound: 55% Gameplay: 50% Total Score: 62%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Project Gotham Racing-</U> This racing game is great. It's like SSX mixed in with Gran Turismo 3. It's like SSX because you can do tricks with you're car, and when you do those tricks you get Kudos. The Kudos are for getting new tracks or cars. It's like Gran Turismo 3 by it being a very realistic racing game. It also has songs to be jammin' to. This game is rated E and is for the XBOX.</div> <div> <B>Graphics: 100% </B><B> Sound: 95% Gameplay: 100% Total Score: 98% </B> </div> <bR> <div> <U>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3-</U> This game is the best skateboarding game ever! It has a create-a-skater mode, a create-a-skatepark mode, and alot of other modes. This game also has alot of pro skaters besides Tony Hawk. Also the music in this game is from artists such as Alien Ant Farm, Del the funky Homosapien, and more. Plus the game play is good. All of the modes make it so good. It has carrer mode, single session, free skate, and 2-player mode [including tag, free skate, trick attack, horse, and grafitti].And if you get the PS2 version you can play people of the internet with the network adapter [avalible late aug. of 2002]. This game is rated E-T and is for XBOX, PS2, Gamecube, GBA, GBC, and PS1.</div> <div> <B>Graphics: 98% Sound:100% Gameplay:100% Total Score:99%</B> </div> <bR> <div> <U>Madden NFL 2003-</U> You may be thinking that Madden 2003 is going to be like Madden 2002, but with a slight adjustment on the graphics, but you're wrong! Madden 2003 is way improved with a create-a-play mode, where you can make your own play, and that isn't all! In the mini-camp training mode you can go in the Madden Bus, and practice all around the USA. Plus it has songs from Nappy Roots, and Bon Jovi. It's also compatible with the PS2 network adapter, so if you want to play your cousin that's at his house which is in another state, you can do it. Plus it has a slight adjustment on the graphics. It also has the same playing mode as the last Madden [if you're getting it for the same system]. Plus for the people that can't play Madden the ask madden option on the play book is now on offense and defense This game is rated E and is for XBOX, PS2, Gamecube, GBA, GBC, and PS1.</div> <div> <B>Graphics:95% Gameplay:95% Sound:90% Total Score:93%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2-</U> You may remember the other NFS games for the playstaion, but this one is alot of different. The first change is the graphics. The graphics tripled from the other NFS games. The second change is the music. The music has more alternative rock music, insted of the other NFS games that mainly had all tecno music. The third change is the cars. The game has way more cars than any other NFS game. The fourth change is the way you play. The game know has a movie felling, so that when you do a jump or hit a cop car then it well do a 360* turn around the car. Plus if you get cought by the cops it will show them giving you the ticket. The fifth change is the modes. The new modes are You're the cop mode, and challenge mode. The Sixth change is the stages. The stages are totally different, and they are now with more shortcuts. The last change is the menu, which gives you a "This game is hot!" felling. This game is rated "E" for everyone and is for the PS2, XBOX, and Gamecube.</div> <div> <B>Graphics- 85% Sound- 90% Gamplay- 90% Total Score- 88%</B> </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>NBA Live 2003-</U> This is probably better than NBA 2K3. The new things in the game is: 1. tricks- now you could do tricks with the right anolog stick. 2. Plays- Now you can call plays using the d-pad [to move the player you need to use the left analog stick]. 3. Jerseys- Now you can get classic jerseys for teams. 4. Music- The music finally have songs that I heard of from artists such as Brandy, Fabulos, Just Blaze, Angie M., Snoop Dogg, and others. 5. Online- You can now play online. 6. Graphics- the graphics improved alot. The players and the courts look more lifelike. This game is hot. If you say that you're a basketball video game fan and you don't have this game, then you're not a b-ball video game fan. This game is rated E, and is for the PS2, Gamecube, PS1, and XBOX.</div> <div> <B>Gameplay-90% Graphics-90% Sound-85% Total Score-88%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4-</U> That's right folks. There's another Tony Hawk game. But is it a real sequel to THPS3? Yes, it is. In this game there's a improved career mode where you talk to people and they give you challenges to accomplish, and there's no limit when you're finding people. Plus there's all new 2-player games such as Combo Mambo, and score challenge. It also has a mode where you can play people on the internet. Also there's bigger levels that you wouldn't imagine would be in this game [such as a college, even a zoo]. There's also an improved create player/ skatepark mode. The graphics didn't really improve form THPS3, but it still has great graphics. The music in the game is from groups such as Run DMC, De La Soul, System of a Down, and others. This game is rated everyone-teen and is for PS2, Gamecube, XBOX, GBA, PS1, and [believe it or not] cellular phone.<B> Gamplay: 100% Sound: 99% Graphics: 99% Total Score:99.5% </B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Mario Kart: Super Circuit-</U> This game is the best racing game on the GBA. It has all the racers from Mario Kart 64, and you can unlock Super Mario Kart tracks on it. Speaking of tracks, there is 40 in all. The graphics is probably the best on racing games for the gba. The music on it sound just like Super Mario Kart, and it has a very good replay feature. But that isn't all! It's also has a multiplayer mode which is up to 4 players. You can play battle, mario GP, and single race modes. "But what if I don't have the game and my friend does? How can I play multiplayer?" Well you can play using one cartridge. But you wont be able to play battle, and mario GP modes. This game is rated E and is for the game boy advance.<B> Gameplay: 95% Graphics: 98% Sound: 92% </B></div> <div> <B>Total Score: 95%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>NBA Street Vol. 2-</U> This game is the sequal to NBA Street. So is it still good? Yes and better. Now it has all new moves [like off the hezzay where you</div> <div> Bounce the ball of the defender's head, and Back 2 Papa where you fool</div> <div> the defender by throwing the ball to the hoop and taking it back], new dunks</div> <div> [like Nerve Damage], new modes [like NBA Challenge where you challenge</div> <div> NBA Teams, and Teams with old school players, and Be a Legend where</div> <div> you challenge street legends, so you can be a legend.], 25 old school players,</div> <div> new street legends [like Dime, Biggie Little, Osmosis, and Whitewater], </div> <div> new soundtrack [from people like Nelly, MC Lyte, Benzino, and Redman], </div> <div> new rewards [like throwback jerseys], new courts [like Uptown, Soul in the</div> <div> Hole, and Linclon College], and believe it or not there's more new things. </div> <div> And now if you have 3 friends and you want them to play you can, because</div> <div> the game can go up to 4 players. This game is a very good excuse for</div> <div> a sequal, and is the best streetball game ever. This game is rated E for</div> <div> everyone, and is for the PS2, Gamecube, and XBOX. </div> <div> <B>Gameplay:100% Graphics:93% Sound:94% Total Score:96%</B></div> <bR> <div> <U>Madden NFL 2004-</U> This year Madden is way better than 2003. Now it will have you to make the QB indicate receivers to break out of there routes by using the right analog stick. The newest feature of this game is the new owner's mode. In this you can make a stadium, make uniforms, raise ticket, and concession prices. But that isn't all. Now when you play online [only the PS2 will have the online feature],you can use the headset to trash talk to your opponent. With the Gamecube you can hook up your GBA to it while playing this game to get exclusive Madden Cards and see the suggested plays to do on the GBA. Oh, and there's new challenges in the mini-camp mode, improved graphics, more realistic commentary, and smarter AI. This game is rated E for everyone and is for the PS2, XBOX, Gamecube, and GBA. </div> <div> <B>Gameplay:100% Graphics:100% Sound:98% Total Score:99%</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>SSX 3-</U> This game is the best snowboarding ever. Ever since SSX came out in 2000 snowboarding games never been the same. This game isn't the normal snowboarding game [not even the same SSX game] you're used to.</div> <div> This time there isn't anymore venues. Now there's a big mountain that you have to face with 3 peaks. And on the those different peaks theres different competions. When you win those competions you get cash for numerous things, and medals. If you have the PS2 and a network adapter then you're going to have way more fun, because you can play the game online [dail-up/broadband compatible; if you don't then don't worry because you can play 2 player split-screen games]. If you have broadband and a headset you can talk to your opponent. But the bad thing about it is that you can only play 2 player games. This game also has new tricks [like super uber moves], and it also has a good soundtrack from the neptunes, the black eyed peas, queens of the stone age, and many more. This game is the bomb and its something that everyone should have. This game is for the PS2, Gamecube, and XBOX, and is rated E for everyone. <B>Gameplay:95% Graphics:96% Sound:98% Total Score:96%</B> </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
