5 Stars NFS-Carbon review
I have played some of the older games from past generations which were good. This one is entertaining, Im not really into arcade racers more of the sims (waiting for Forza 2)but the whole reason I got this game is because my car is in this video game. Other than that it’s pretty fun.
5 Stars Need for speed Carbon Collectors Edition
It is a great game and we got wonderful fast delivery. No problems with the game and package was perfect. Thank you.
4 Stars Live Actors in CG environment for story
NFS Carbon is another fun and exciting game by EA. It continues where NFS Most Wanted left off. NFS Carbon is all about turf wars. IT has the best graphics. The graphcs are better then all of the other NFS games. You can access “XBOX LIVE MARKET PLACE” where you can buy parts or cars. not to mention the Collector’s eddition comes with all the “goodies” you are going to need for online play. So if you are a fan of NFS series you will surely find this game worth playing.
1 Star The biggest Need for Speed Let Down
I finished the game a mere 8 hours after purchasing it. May be more fun online but the storyline part of the game is way to short. And it seems as the higher you get the worse your car’s handling becomes. Blacklist was ten times better and Underground 2 was 5 times better. There are a decent amount of cars and customization but the gameplay is really lost in this one. The idea for Carbon Canyon was good but I find that there are certain aspects of the canyon that are just stupid. If you skip a race and come back to it later they still have the same car and if you are driving a Lamborghini you can not overtake them. And they never crash off the cliff and you cannot make them crash. When playing in co op mode half the time in the upper levels my team-mates cost me races by stopping in front of me or by taking short cuts that get me hit by other cars or the short cut slows me down. The game is only 10% of what it should be.

4 Stars Great Game…
I picked this game up because I was looking for something that both me and my little one could play together. The coop mode is great…you can have 2 people on the same screen…saving the city. It is borderline on the T rating. I would say it is a T rating leaning towards E for everyone.
It isn’t hard to learn…you just pop it in and go. Graphics are pretty good!
If you are looking for a game that you and the kids would like to play at the same time…this is it! Entertaining enough for adults…and tame enough for children.
5 Stars Nightwing “ROCKS”!!!! Thank you.
this game kicks every BatMan game before it in the teeth and anyone who says otherwise is on something!
this has been a speacial report,for those about to “ROCK”!thank you.
5 Stars Rise of The Dark Knight
This is a Basic Beat-em up game, but the graphics are unbelievable! I have been a big batman fan ever since i saw BATMAN BEGINS in the movie theatres. Excellent movie. i also have loved the old cartoon: THE ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN. My Favorite character has always been Robin. Anyway, this is a must have game for any console besides PS2. { The worst in my opinion. the graphics are like paper plates!} I especially like that the levels are longer, and i like to fight a lot, so this game is good. I can’t wait to get it for Gamecube.
2 Stars Rise of Rinse and Repeat
Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu, for the XBox is a Beatem-up game. You can choose from four different characters: Batman, Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl. Regardless of who you pick, even though the story unfolds a bit differently, the gameplay mechanics remain the same. You must rescue hostages before time runs out. And the way to rescue hostages is to beat-up the bad guys. You are awarded points for making combo attacks. Then at the end of the levels you can purchase (or learn new combo attacks). Punch, kick and then slam the bad guys to the ground. This is basically all you do! Over and Over! Being a fan of the Batman animated series, I do have to give it points for beautiful graphics, which looks like the cartoon. The sound effects are also good! and best of all, they used the same voice-actors from the cartoon. This however, is not enough to save a mediocre game.
Pros:
+looks like the cartoon
+good sound effects
+good controls
+voice actors from the cartoon
+lots of unluckable goodies
Cons:
-time based missions
-linear gameplay
-enemies cheat
-repetative gameplay
-start levels over when you die
-A.I. is dumb as a rock
-feels like a PSONE powered game
-rinse and repeat

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!

4 Stars how good is the test drive off road game
I think that playing the game is very fun for all ages and should be in more stores all over the world where there are playstations, XBox, and all the types of other systems.

5 Stars DA BOMB RACING GAME
This game is a great game if u wanna chalenging, hard to beat racing game. This game has awesome graphics and its not so easy to beat it took me about 30 MINUTES to beat one of the races. Although, sometimes you may get frustrated when you race, and sometimes you’re in 1st and then someone comes and knocks you out-or spins you out-you end up in 5th.
Good Things-
Awesome Cars (Stock cars in speed and power, Modified cars in speed and power, Pro cars in speed and power, and Unlimitied cars in speed and power)
NOT easy to beat
good graphics
ALOT of races
A GOOD GAME
Good music, and sound
once beaten still really fun to play
really good with multiplayer
free roam is fun
Bad things-
Frustrating at some points
when selecting things have to push the button awfully hard
easy to win once in front of everyone kind of alot
so overall, A PRETTY GOOD GAME RIGHT(…)
4 Stars Fun if you like arcade style racing.
I’m a big fan of arcade style racing, and Test Drive:Off Road took it to the next level. (If you prefer more “realistic” racing where you buy parts & make money see my review on 4×4 Evo2 instead.)
Test Drive delivers the one thing I have wanted from a racing game for years, the ability to choose your own way through a course, AND still win. In ‘98 Microsoft came out with Motocross Madness, where you rode dirtbikes and did tricks for points, but when you were in racing mode, if you left the track, you didn’t stand a chance of winning.
Test Drive is different. There are tracks that you can use, and finish, and win on. But you can choose to go off road and win also. You choose your vehicle based on what you want to do. There are power vehicles and speed vehicles. The speed vehicles do well on the relatively flat dirt tracks that lead to the finish, while the power vehicles that have lower top speeds do better leaving the beaten (longer) path and taking the shortcut over the top of the mountain.
That said, there is still a downside: There are a relatively limited number of races, so if you are like me and tend to finish games quickly then this one won’t take you long. It can also be frustrating, because when you play in the hardest mode, the other vehicles will attempt to bump you and make you spin out. That is really annoying when you managed to stay in first place through an entire race, and then get spun out 10 seconds before you hit the finish line and you end up in 5th place.
4 Stars Great multiplayer fun.
Let’s start out by saying that I never bought this game for a realistic four wheeling adventure. Anyone who wants to claim that any of the 4×4 games out there are realistic has never broken an axle Jeeping down a mountainside. If you want authentic outdoor experiences, leave your living room. However if its a cold and rainy day and you have some friends over tryout the multiplayer “King of the hill” mode. This is the one reason I love this game so much. As for the graphics, well they arent great but getting pumped up by the music and knocking your friends around makes up for it.
