1 Star Love the game – When it doesn’t lock up on the Xbox 360
I bought this game because it was listed as a compatible game for the Xbox 360. It works great in single mode, but when you try to race 3 or 4 players on a split screen the game locks up. I have the current software version and I double verified that Microsoft says that it will work with the 360, but from my experience, don’t bother trying. Great game if you have the original Xbox.
5 Stars ATV 2 Quad Power Racing
This is an awesome simple game of tricks, racing, and kicking other people as often as possible! It’s great for single player all the way to four players. I’m not sure if you hook up two systems together if it will work, I haven’t tried it. But definately an awesome game!
5 Stars Awesome
This Game is my favorite game for xbox it is really realistic and the tracks are awesome if u like 4 wheelers and 3 wheelers u should definetly buy this game!
1 Star Great Physics?! You gotta be kiddin’ me.
I can’t believe my eyes. I read the review from mmuscat9 from CANADA “EH”, and I’m thinking that the 9 must mean he’s 9 yrs old, and if so, forgive me son. You keep having fun with this game and don’t read the rest of my review, ok? Anyway, I don’t see how he and the editorial reviewer can say that the handling characteristics in this game are realistic. You can twirl the quad around any-which-way you please while in the air, even if you don’t pre-load before taking off! Cornering at low speeds is ok but at racing speed, the experience ranges from totally detached to utter nonsense. Case in point: on the Dune:Lagoon course, there’s a downhill left hander just before you go back up the hill and encounter water for the first time. If you go in there as fast as you can, you can’t make the turn. That’s as it should be if you are going for realistic handling. But when you take the turn too fast, you drift out wide and the quad slides up onto the almost-sheer cliff wall like it’s on ice, then comes off the cliff about 30 feet in the air and you’re falling face down toward certain death . . . but wait . . . there’s no need to die! All you have to do is pull back on the left thumbstick and you land like a butterfly with sore feet. Ridiculous. I’d like to see mmuscat9 from CANADA “EH” do that on one of his “every weekend” rides. It’s totally an arcade racer and not a very good one at that.
ATV OffRoadFury2 is head and shoulders better than this one. In fact, the reason I bought the game was because I saw my friend’s 3 year old playing ATV OffRoadFury2 on PS2. I thought it would be perfect for my 5 year old, but I have an XBox and QP2 is the only ATV title on XBox so I figured I’d take a leap of faith. I mean, it came out AFTER Fury2 so it’s got to have everything it has and more, right? WRONG! …
The most frustrating aspects of this game are the sound and the lack of a Free Ride mode. In Fury2, the two stroke quads sound just like real two strokes and the four strokes sound just like real four strokes. In QP2, all engine sounds are the same generic buzz. In Fury2, you can take an endless free ride throughout any of the environments. Heck, you can even turn off collisions with the environment so you don’t fall off your bike every time you hit a rock or tree – perfect for really young gamers! The water looks great too and as long as you keep the throttle hammered, you can keep riding even when you’re fully submerged! Again, it’s perfectly kid friendly while offering more true-to-life options for more seasoned gamers. QP2 has none of these features even though it came out AFTER Fury2!! Pathetic. When you go off track in QP2 you either run into a brick wall where the code ends or it respawns you back at the last check point after about 5-8 seconds off the beaten path – totally frustrating!
My 5 year old hates this game and so do I. …
4 Stars NEW PHYSICS GENERATION
This game is S I C K! I would call it the start to the new physics generation. The bike’s reaction to your actions and to track conditions is bang on. I ride quads every weekend, and I can say from experience, this is the closest game yet. The only downfalls are: 1.- Engine sound effects- they all sound the same 2.- Freestyle- needs to be outside on seemingly endless boards (a la ATV Fury) 3.- Real Bikes!- there is not one real bike in this game. All that aside, definately a game to have in your cache. If there is a #3, I’m sure it would be a PHENOM!

Bomberman Act: Zero X360
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars plain fun
the bomberman series reaches 360 with mixed reviews but i can say its just a game to have fun with to pass the time, not an actual full time gamer game.
1 Star If there was ever a time for a 0 star rating…
This game is absolutely horrible. and i dont even own and ive never played it before in my life! still horrible though
1 Star Absolute Disapointment
This is the worst Bomberman ever made. I wish I knew there was no story mode and since no one online has it I can never get a game. I would not buy this product if my life depended on it!
1 Star Bomberman Act: Zero X360
This is the worse Bomberman game ever. Don’t buy it!!! There are only battles with one arena. The stages are setup so you fight one person on the first round, two people in the second and so on.
1 Star Major dissapointment!
I was hoping this would have a deeper story line.
But it has no story line at all.
You just kill off the other opponents that gets very repetitive and boring after playing for just an hour.
Dissapointed tha this has not story portian to it!
I am glad that I at least rented this game from GameFly and not actualy bought it.
And I agree this game should have been an XBox Live Marketplace game!
This is the worst game for a next gen console ever! 
Advice: Don’t buy this game ever!

3 Stars i love this show
this was a cool game. but i beat it in like 2 nights. i was hoping for a longer story line with more levels. but i did enjoy playing. i was kinda mad that they didn’t use toft as the earthbender but i guess the game came out before she was a character on the show. the plot was good but wish it was more like beating the firelord or zuko or something more like the show, since the big boss itsn’t even a character. overall i say buy it but only cause it is such a good price here on amazon.
3 Stars Not quite what I expected
Perhaps it is to early in the game, but I just thought that I would be able to choose who I get to be and play the game even though it is entitled avatar. All in all I think it is a good game. Might be a little to complicated. Definately for 10 and up. You have to earn you avatar power so don’t think you start off in superhero style you have a staff and you wack a lot of wooves to build up point to earn you powers for later battle. It is a good game if you a fan of the avatar cartoon and I think you will fill like you are part of the game. I would recommend this game.
1 Star Avatar XBox game
Unfortunately we did not realise when we purchased this game that it would not work on our TV’s in Australia. My 9 year old son was so disappointed when he tried to play it with no success.
5 Stars Would like to think it was great.
As the game sent was not compatible with my console, i was unable to view it and its contents. sorry.But media has it as very good
3 Stars Way to short.
This game was okay at best, it was way to easy for even my son and much too short.

5 Stars So much Fun
All you people who right these bad reviews, just aren’t open minded. Its a fun game with a little twist, if you like hunting more, then just stick to the first one but if you like action with thrill of being attacked at any moment, then this is the game for you. You are a hunter that has to rescue people and kill animals like wolves and mountain lions etc. There are missions like flying a plane that crashes and you have to care for the injured pilot while attacking and killing various dangerous animals. The people that don’t like this game it’s because you expect for the game to be exactly the same as the first one. Now does that really sound like fun? I think this game is fun and exciting! I loved it!
1 Star This game SUCKS
This is just a boring game you walk around with nothing to shoot and then all of a sudden your flashing because something is attacking and the view your in you cant see what it is. DON’T buy this game
1 Star A Terrible Letdown
I cannot even begin to describe how disappointed I was with this game. The first Dangerous Hunts game was a blast to play. It was just like real hunting, with the added thrill of having to deal with wild animals that attack.
But this game is horrendous. It is an adventure style game where you follow around an amazingly annoying one eyed man who tells you what to do and doesnt bother to help you at all. Moreover, his vocabulary is limited to two or three dumb remarks.
You cannot hunt in the traditional sense. You cannot do anything except the stupid little tasks that the one eyed guide wants you to do.
This is NOT a true hunting game. Stay away and don’t waste your money on this piece of crap. Get the original Dangerous Hunts game, instead.
1 Star You Are The Fodder
Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2 for the XBOX is the sequel to an older hunting simulation with the same name. Except this time
the gamemakers ruined the gameplay. It no longer feels like a hunting simulator. It no longer has free-roaming levels, you cannnot really create a strategy either and the graphics have gone downhill, looking more cheap. While the first game was missing a good story, the excellent gameplay mechanics made it fun.
Dangerous Hunts 2 does the complete opposite and implements a cheesy story about you being stranded with others in the wild. You try to survive as animals track you down and attack you. You also will have missions where you have to find other people and rescue them. There is the usual assortment of weapons like pistols, rifles, shotguns and a knife, but it will be very limited and ammunitions is very scarce. There are many scripted game sequences which tries to add to the survival storyline, but none of it works effectively because of the bad voice-acting, cheap character animations, dumb CPU and downgraded graphics on the animals. The level designs are completely linear where you are forced to walk along a set path and accomplish stupid fetch quests. The overall production values feel cheap and the game is very boring to boot. Do yourself a favor skip this sequel and buy the first Dangerous Hunts instead.
Pros:
the first game still is better
Cons:
-you are the hunted, not the hunter
-completely linear levels
-boring fetch quests
-stupid A.I.
-hard to find ammo
-cheap graphics
-cheap animations
-scripted events suck
-bad voice acting
-dumb story
