4 Stars Dead to Rights II
Game is fun. More Difficult than the first but still fun. Would use seller again.
1 Star What the hell were they thinking??
What the hell were they thinking?? Ok i get it its a second game but its a prequel. Usually they are better in this case its not. Ok for one the controls can be a little jerky at times but that can be gotten used to. But i mean come on the game play itself is attrocious (dont know or care if I spelled that right. Thats how bad this game is.) I loved the first game so when I heard they came out with a second one I jumped at the chance at getting it… I needed to get my head examined. The story develops poorly and there isnt a good plot like the first one and it jumps seems to go so darn slow. The auto switching of the weapons SUXX!! imagine popping off a few shots at someone then grabbing another weapon and shooting that and realizing that it feels like a gnat is trying to sting them. The game was poor in concept and if you must get this just rent it. Actually dont even rent it, its not even worth that much money.
2 Stars It’s Ok fun wih Ok graphics
The game is not as many other titles out there. In my opinion the game was released and not finished 1st. Not much difference from part 1 and this is unacceptable due part one was a little better thn this one. Overall the current price is really worth buyin for. But $50,$20 dollars is a waste of $$ for this one.
4 Stars Simple and Fun
This game is a great diversion and a hell of alot of fun for casual gamers. If you want more than a quick dose of action stick to RPG’s.

3 Stars Good puzzle game
This game picks up where the first Syberia game left off. The plot continues as you follow Kate. More puzzles and an excellent plot. Stunning graphics and gameplay.
5 Stars I’m hooked!
I never understood how grown men/women could just sit in front of the tv playing on a game system for hours on end, until I was introduced to the Syberia series. I was so skeptical to play, figured with the new technology I would be doomed from the start. Surprisingly, it really wasn’t that difficult to pick up on, especially when you are so enamored by the story line.
I highly recommend this game! If this is the new look of gaming, I hope I’m able to find others with the same quality & style. (This game would make such an incredible action/adventure movie as well.)
SIDE NOTE:I’m not sure that you would get the same effect if you played part 2 first. After playing part 1, I couldn’t wait to get part 2 in the mail. If I did it all over, I would buy both at once.
4 Stars Syberia 2 Review
This type of gaming experience can be quite addictive, and the unique plot of the first game brought me back for another go, but in the end I felt somewhat bad for the Kate Walker, the main character. The first game had a personal subplot going on for her, which was kind of glossed over in this installment. The gameplay was okay, but for the most part the gorgeous environment is non-interactive, which can be a little disappointing at times. The story arch ended well for the Voralburgs, but after getting a little attached to Kate, it would be nice to have a little more resolution for her.
4 Stars WORTH THE WAIT
This game did not disappoint. The graphics were amazing, and the storyline picked up where the first had left off so you got to follow along as Hans continues on to Syberia. This game was more enjoyable the first. The only downside – when the game is over, it happens very abruptly. One minute you’re playing, the next reading credits. This was highly disappointing, but until that point everything was just as I had hoped. While the ending leaves you wanting more, the game is worth every penny. I could not stop, every change I had, I was continuing on with an imaginative journey that kept me wanting to push farther and farther.
4 Stars An enjoyable sequel
I really loved the first Syberia. It was amazingly beautiful and stylized- so different than anything else I’d seen. I really got into the storyline and the characters to the point that at its completion, I exclaimed to no one in particular- “I’ve found Hans Vorelberg!” with satisfaction. Well- Syberia 2 is more of the same. Still beautiful to look at. Still great character development and storyline. Still slightly more difficult than they have to be, stylish puzzles to solve. I liked the later sections of the game much more than the early ones. I’m not exactly sure why this series of games was not more popular? I highly recommend both the original Syberia and this, its sequel.

5 Stars Fun for the Adults Too!
I rented this game over and over one summer, and would play for hours! It’s just the kind of mindless fun I love in a video game (reminiscent of Super Mario Brothers). Now that I have my own XBox, this was the first game I wanted to buy!
4 Stars Fun. But Boring
I thought the game was fun but it wasn’t that exciting. The chalenges were so easy like you beat a challenge just by going into the closet and you beat one just by jumping 6-10 times!!! So to any 1 about to by this be warned as loads of it is kinda boring except when you battle the giant robots
5 Stars Best of the best of Spongebob
Battle for Bikini bottom might be old,but I love it.My favorite areas are the dreams in the middle of the game and you can go from Spongebob’s dream to either Patrick’s,Sandy’s,Mr.Krabs,or Squidward.2 years ago I was new to the game.I did Squidward’s dream and it took me a couple hours to beat.Same thing happened with Sandy’s dream,Mr.Krabs,I can’t beat,I don’t own this game but soon I will.I totally recommend this game.
5 Stars okay
very good. The ONLY xbox game i like.
Amy, age 10
4 Stars F-U-N and challenging
Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom is a fun/hard game to play. I suggest that this should be a rating of E 10+ because the levels get harder, and harder as you go. If your child is around 7 or under, he/she will probably have a hard time. This game takes awhile, and the levels are long with fun/difficult challenges.
Overall, it’s fun, the character’s voices are the same (Yeah, I agree, Mr.Krab’s voice didn’t sound like himself like in the real seris) and great graphics.

5 Stars Best collection you can buy for new xboxers
Most of the rest of us are all Halo’d out, but if you are new to xbox or the 360, this is the best set you can buy. The games will play at 720p/1080i in widescreen (if you have an HDTV) on the 360 and you will have months if not years (not days) of multiplayer longevity to these titles.
Note the multiplayer maps disc sold separately for Halo2 (if you originally bought Halo2 long ago) is a rip-off.
1 Star Why? Why? Why?
This is Microsoft just trying to get more money for an ageing game. I love this game, this is a fun game with a great story, and you have to read the books to understand the full story. It’s the only game that does the whole thing well. People say the first game was nothing but a repeat of levels. True; however, it made the game have a more real feel to it. Why would you build diffrent rooms everywhere on your space ship? Or on a ring world for that matter? It was to the point, Hey this is a working ship, and this is a working Ring thing. What made the game was the Enemy you fought, and the Story behind it. Halo Two was fun, but the end killed the greatness it could have been. Halo three better pick up where Halo 2 left off. As much as I love this game this three pack will not become apart of my Halo Collection. I already own both games for X-Box, and 3 copies of the First Halo on computer. I got the four books, and the Comic, and both CD’s. I also can not wait for Halo 3, and the Halo Moive! Ok, one thing about this Three pack. 79 dollars!!!!! Come on, if I bought all three in their orginal case, it would only come up too 56:97 + Tax. So why, on earth would you buy this? By the orginal games, it will be all three disk, but with the WHOLE BOX ARTWORK! Heck even if I bought all three and a computer copy of the game it would be 3 dollars cheaper. This would not be a good buy, unless they lowered the price.
1 Star Just another Halo Players Reveiw
Well, so Halo is an awesome game (1,2) Its online play rocks.

5 Stars Sweet!!!!!!!!
This rocks!!!!!!!!!!!! It has each game cd. It is not just one cd with all of them.
In mine halo 1 was the platinum hits version and halo 2 and the map pack are regular.
I play this on my xbox 360(yes I have one) and it runs great on xbox live and story mode. If you dont have any halo games get this!!!!
5 Stars I am a poor man, but I have an XBOX!!!
I don’t have my own account on Amazon.com, so I can’t use a review where I type in my name and password. But you are probably wondering why I am writing this now. Well, I’m at my public library, and I’m using their computer, so I have to make this review quick. I have an XBOX only because my cousin gave it to me. He is rich. He invented the Toaster Strudel. This is no joke. His name is Raphael. Anyway, Halo is a fun game. It is the best and only game I’ve ever played. I love it more than I would love to own a pair of shoes and have running water at my house. Uh oh, the main lady at the library is telling me my time’s up. So in conclusion, buy this game. It rocks out loud!! Ta ta for now!!
