                          Scooby-Doo fans will be pleased to hear, the Scooby gang is back in another horror-filled adventure in Scooby-Doo: Unmasked. This time the slobbering wonder dog with an eating disorder has some nifty power-ups to help him as well as access to three ultra power-up costumes: a Robin Hood-like archer costume that allows Scooby to shoot toilet plungers at enemies, a bat suit which gives Scooby flying and gliding abilities, and a kung fu outfit which instantly turns Scooby into an ultra sleek kung fu master. You&#8217;ll need the help of all three costumes too, as the enemies are harder than in previous Scooby-Doo games. The story begins when Fred takes his girl Daphne and friends Velma, Shaggy and Scooby to an up-and-coming special effects house to his cousin Jed. The proprietor of Monstrous Fright &#038; Magic: Monsters While You Wait claims Jed is a thief who trashed the place trying to steal Mubber, a super material that can be formed into anything. Scooby, controlled in conventional 3rd person action platforming, transitions between forward moving and sidescrolling platforming segements, spins around furiously to attack and break crates, slides, and belly-flop to crush stronger object with absolute Scoo-Doobly-Doo damage. Each environment offers a set of fairly large sub-sections, within each a variety of challenges. Expect conveyor belts, flame spouts, steam vents, green crap, electrified water, big balloons and other such dangers. Scooby-Doo! Unmasked consists of three sprawling worlds and eleven levels that include Chinatown, a rollercoaster world, and a museum. Each level is packed with an incredible amount of action and things to do and discover, including lots of mini games. The camera has seen a large improvement over past Scooby installments, where it was difficult to even see where you were supposed to land. The art style takes a distinctive turn for the best with soft, warm colors and a very cartoonish look that&#8217;s ea </p>

                          Over The Hedge takes players on an interactive adventure beyond the story seen in the film. Assuming the roles of RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Hammy the squirrel and Stella the skunk, players turn a suburban neighborhood loaded with dangerous obstacles and traps into their own personal playground. Numerous puzzles and mini-games keep fans busy as they switch between two of the four main characters or engage in two player co-op with friends.   Take on multiple side challenges to win energy-filled snacks or powered-up weapons and items </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> STILL FUN, A GOOD LICENSED GAME  8.25 OUT OF 10</em><br />
                          This game is just as fun as the PS2 version I played and reviewed. The gameplay still revolves around using golf clubs, hockey sticks, snowball guns, and various other weapons to take down demented rats, rabbits, gophers, etc., that have been taken over by the Verminator. Throughout the game you will avoid several laser traps, homicidal barbeques and bushes, steal food from houses, rescue the porcupine kids, unlock special features and minigames, and do so many other things in more than thirty missions of surprisingly good fun. You play as the characters from the movie; RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Stella the skunk and Hammy are the playable characters. While the other characters (and a few new ones) are there, they are not playable in the game. The graphics also look pretty decent for a last-generation game as well. Now to get to the bad; first the camera needs to fixed (It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m playing a PSone game). Second, controls need to be tightened (Why can&#8217;t I use the second analog stick to control the camera?). Third, the storyline is incoherent and seems to be sloppily put together. And last but not least, the game is more fun on multiplayer. This may seem like a laundry list of complaints, but they mostly seem to drift away while I destroy things, steal food and save my comrades from the Verminator. This game should go down as being among the handful of licensed games that don&#8217;t suck, because it really should. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> friends grandson</em><br />
                        Purchased this game for a friend to give her grandson, so I am not sure about the product but at last count he was having fun with the game and thanked me for ordering it for his grandmother. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">1 Star</strong>  <em> BAAAAD GAME</em><br />
                        Guess what? I won this game 3 times in 1 hour. The game doesn&#8217;t even start where it should, it starts in the middle of the movie and has like 4 levels or something. I hated this game. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> My kids call it the best game they&#8217;ve ever played</em><br />
                        My 8 and 6 years kids love it. They called it the best games they&#8217;ve ever played. The movement and action of all characters are so cute and they usually made us laugh. The character have to fight with other animals to finish some &#8220;missions&#8221;. However, they don&#8217;t really kill enemy&#8230;just stun them by various sports goods, toys, or toilet cleaning equipments. No bloody screen and no brutal action. This game can be played alone (with a partner assigned by game) or by 2 players and control is not complicated for young kids. This game is rated Everyone(10+), but I don&#8217;t think it causes any side-effect for kids under 10.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Wife&#8217;s Happy!!</em><br />
                        I usually purchase sports games but I was looking for a game to get my wife involved, she loved &#8220;Over The Hedge&#8221; so I thought we&#8217;d get the game. She couldn&#8217;t put down the controller. Not since &#8220;Zelda&#8221; has a game caught her attention. For me, it is what it is, a fun game to play with the wife. </p>

                          Fight Night Round 2 continues delivering the innovative boxing gameplay with deeper gameplay  and all-new options. Knock your opponents out using devastating combos and the new Haymaker  option. Then go outside the ring for training, while managing your boxer to make him  successful and wealthy. The new EA SPORTS Cutman minimizes damage on fighters by helping  them heal critical wounds between rounds.   Active cut-man helps you recover from swelling eyes between rounds   Dynamic Punch Impacts &#8211; stunning visuals reflect the effect of each blow, from swollen eyes to broken ribs </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> I&#8217;m Ready To Fight!!!!</em><br />
                        This game is the best boxing game so far (that&#8217;s until Round 3 come out). The graphics are great plus the soundtrack and the haymaker I love that haymaker. It&#8217;s a very easy game to get hooked to. The best thing about this game is that you can do combos and knockouts out this world. You should get this game and you will love it. I got this for New Year&#8217;s and it was the best of the best.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great Improvement Over first one</em><br />
                        I purchased this game because I enjoyed the first.  The only problem I had with the first one was that it was very difficult to get high in the ranks before you were forced to retire.  In this installment of the game you can just keep fighting, although with the slow loss of stats biting at your heals.  The mini games to build your stats are easier. If you try to take the easy way out and to the auto train, you get lower results and can potentially hurt yourself, which in turn lowers stats.  The gameplay itself is practially identical, with the addition of the haymaker.  This is a more powerful hook or uppercut that takes more energy.  A few well timed haymakers can turn the tides in almost any fight.<br />
<br />Changing weightclasses and unifying belts is a great addition as well.<br />
<br />Really nothing to say bad about this game other than it only has so much replayability.  After you retire one fighter, making another is kinda fun, but you can only do that so many times. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> More realistic than the first, but less fun&#8230;</em><br />
                        ..Let me explain. The first Fight Night game introduced a new realism in boxing video games. It had realistic characters boxing styles stances, and a setup in which you could choose to fight a faster paced style, or one dedicated to more power. In Round 2 you see an improvement in detail, especially in the faces of the boxers. You are also introduced to something new which is the haymaker&#8230;which is both good and bad. </p>
<p>The haymaker, as you probably already know, is a punch where you put all of your might in order to try to score a knockout. The problem with this game is that it is very much focused around that one particular punch&#8230;and power in general. Your bob and weave doesn&#8217;t seem to be as effective this time around&#8230;and if one of your punches is paried&#8230;your arms fall for 2 or 3  seconds, pretty much guaranteeing the opponent will get a haymaker in. This makes the game feel very cheap..unlike in the first Fight Night game, where a parry leaves you open for a split second..which seems more realistic. Also, the movements of the characters seem choppier than last time.</p>
<p>There are other new additions, such as playing a cornerman, and tending to cuts and swelling between the rounds and the ability to chose between two types of training before fights.</p>
<p>In closing..if the gameplay was more like the first fight this game would be absolutely perfect. I grew tired of getting a punch blocked and standing there like an idiot until I got busted by a haymaker </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em>  Almost Real!!!</em><br />
                        This game is a great fighting game. You can create a person and start a career! When you punch people in the face they slowy begin to swell and then a cut will open and they begin to bleed! Every time you punch them blood splaters off their faces.<br />
<br /> When you start off playing career mode you can make your own boxer or play with a known boxer. You start off in last place out of 50 other boxers you slowly work your way up to first place, then when you get to first place you have to defend your tittle!<br />
<br /> There isn&#8217;t much to tell about this game, just that it has good graphics, good joyicestick control, and that its a good game. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> No Competition</em><br />
                        Fight Night round 2 is the most well put together stunning boxing game there is, but they have no competition with Knockout kings out. The Graphics are fantastic you can see the sweat coming off of the boxer, to the amazing varity of clothes your boxer can where to all the traing you need to do to keep up in this game you will never fell let down by the 50 dollar price tag. The gameplay is outstanding using the right analog stick to throw different and unique punches to get a KO. Usually announcers get on your nerves with all there gay and limited phrases, But fight nights has a annoncer that tells you every last detail of whats going on and what to watch out for. Fight Nights incredibley realism is amazing after each round they tell if u did good or not and give u stats of that round. You even have to cure the cuts and stuff, as you rise the rankings to the best boxer. I give it 5 stars no problem. </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great Fun</em><br />
                        Loved creating my own team.  Was really a blast beating all the challenges.  I like the &#8216;street&#8217; style.  Makes for a lot of fun.  And with the Gamebreakers, adds a little bit of strategy. Enjoy! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> A Successful Gift&#8230;.. </em><br />
                        My 13 year old nephew was begging for this for Christmas and when he opened it up, he went nuts&#8230;.. so I guess it&#8217;s O.K. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">3 Stars</strong>  <em> To much expectations</em><br />
                        You guys I&#8217;m not saying this game is horible but I bought it the day it came out. The problem was I expecteid to see these steriod buff Ray Lewis football players breaking tackles all day long. Instead you get these smaller (Thank God) football players that play more realistic. This was a very positive and very frustating at the same time.</p>
<p>Now this is were all the extras come in handy. All the etras are really fun and addictive but you must hove friends to realy enjoy the mini games. So basiclly you hawve Nfl Street with mini games, a couple of story modes (sort of), an incredable customization system, Xzibt, and new wall moves and you have NFL Street 2.</p>
<p>So this game is pretty sweet with lots of replay value. But I feel EA games is getting sloppy and is doing exactly what Lucisarts did with Star Wars. Over all 4.5 out of 5.0      </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> For Kids or NOt?</em><br />
                        NFL blitz is alive and well on the PSP.  Only this time it is called NFL Street 2, and it is a little fancier.  First the ugly:  this game takes 15 hours to load each game.  Not really, but that is what it feels like when you just want to play a quick game.  The other ugly thing is that it seems a bit difficult to remember what all of the buttons do.  So, though it is fun to do a crazy pitch to the running back or a behind the back throw to a receiver 50 yards away, you can never remember that you now have to control the running back or the receiver with a whole new set of controls.  This is seen as a positive thing by many that believe the more complex the game, the more shelf life it will have in a collection.  Now, the ugly said, this game is fun enough to last forever in your game collection.  Does football ever get old?  Then a game that is football on steroids done pretty darn well should not either.  Finally, the mini-games are worth mentioning with games of smear the queer and 500 that are just loads of fun.  There are a couple of others, but the two mentioned are the only games worth much.  </p>
<p>Bottom Line:  Is it fun?  Get this fun football game.  Will I keep it? yep.  Is it for kids?  Too many buttons. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> ausome Game</em><br />
                        This game rule!!!!!! I thought the first one was great but this is amazing!! The best football in years. Much better than &#8220;Blitz the Leage&#8221; If you are football fan you will love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Great family party game for fans!</em><br />
                        I bought this for me and my 7 yr old daughter to play together and it turned out to be great fun. 1 year after we bought it and unlocked everything, we still come back and play it. I can&#8217;t say that about any other game we have played together. There are a whole lot of mini-games here and some are real gems. Initially you have to unlock many of the games and there are a lot of trophies/posters to get as well. I strongly suggest reading a FAQ sheet before you get started. The manual/game do not go over the unlockable progression sufficiently and it is easy to muck things up and not be able to unlock everything. The games are all simple, yet I was surprised how challenging it was to open up all the games, levels, posters and trophies. Even with the ability to adjust computer AI and handicap Human players, it took us a good couple weeks to unlock everything. After beating the game you get to view your very own SpongeBob episode and can pick and choose different characters to play different roles each time you view it. You also get to set up your own competitions, choosing whatever mini-games you enjoy most to play. The flexibility of choosing which games to play, how smart each computer player is and how easy the games are for each human player are what have made this game so enjoyable for us. I can set the game-controlled character/s to normal, my daughter and wife to easy and myself to hard and it levels the playing field perfectly. The game has its flaws to be sure, but it really captures the fun of the show and characters and what it does right more than compensates for its shortcomings. If you have kids that love spongebob and you want a good family party game to play with them, look no further. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Great</em><br />
                        For those who have been playing previous titles such as &#8220;Battle for Bikini Bottom&#8221; They may not care for this game. It does clearly state on the box that it is a full-fledge party game. For people who didnt read, well thats there problem.</p>
<p>Anyways, This is a great game that you can play over and over again. It has 30 unlockable mini-games, and a 30 minute mermaid man and barnicle boy episode you can re-watch = using game console graphics to. They go from anything like racing, to matching patterns, to colour matching, and even plain old chance games (aka rock paper scissors!) I recommened this game to anyone who wants a fast-paced game that they never would get tired of. Its completely family-friendly and great for up to 4 players. There are mini games that consist of players playing soley for themselves, and mini games where you have to work together. Its and excellent blend of teamwork and cordination.Good luck!<br />
 </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> My kids like it and so do I</em><br />
                        Many levels but some are hard to pass but a fun game overall. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> My oponion for Lights,camera,pants!</em><br />
                        I really like it beacause I love the mini games except for one,&#8230;.BLISTERING BARNCLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hate that game so  much!!! But ROCK BOTTOM is so GREAT!!!!!I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I always put it in when I do tounament!!!!!!!!! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Lacks mario party spirit but succeeds well.</em><br />
                        I got this game for christmas 2 days ago and I think this game is great! There may be only 30 mini games (the mario party series has around 50+) but each of them are really long. So it&#8217;s not that big a deal. In the game you can do story mode and play bronze, silver, and gold mode after you beat each one. By doing that you can unlock trophies, action figures, and mini games to play in tournament mode, where you can play up to four players. Overall, this game was worth my time and i&#8217;d suggest it to long-time spongebob fans.   </p>

                        Everything was just the way is supposed to be&#8230;..</p>
<p>no problems with anything</p>
<p>thanks </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> The Best Backetball Game</em><br />
                        NBA Street is a great basketball game.  It may not be as deep as some players would want but the fun and the sheer game is enough for me.  One of the best XBOX titles.  Also good as an alternative to the structure of the other NBA titles.</p>
<p>Highly recommended. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Better than the original!!!</em><br />
                        Fantastic Arcade Basketball gameplay!  Just awesome!!!</p>
<p>I really love this game, even better than the first one.  That is one distinguishing factor of videogames from movies.  We all know that the sequel business in movies, does not always guarantee a winner.  Not necessarily true for videogames!  In fact, videogame sequels are often times better than the original, as is the case here, in my opinion.  </p>
<p>This game offers up the same fun concept of the first version, with a better announcer, and better city locations, etc.</p>
<p>I think the mini-games offer up a lot of fun too.  </p>
<p>I highly recommend this game to all you B Ball gamers out there!  Have fun!</p>
<p>MC White said:  Check it out!!! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> The best arcade b-ball game of all time</em><br />
                        This is by far the best iteration of the nba street franchise.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> I dont even like basketball but i love this game</em><br />
                        I&#8217;ve never been a fan of basketball games or the sport itself. Nba street 2 is actually one of the best sports games i have played. If you liked nba jam back in the day you&#8217;ll love this one. Not only can you ball as the NBA,but the be a legend mode is great. You basically create a player then pick everything from facial hair to what sneakers and jerseys they wear. You also start from the bottom of the street ball world and work your way up. I woul suggest this game for anyone who wants a great game at a cheap price! </p>

<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> A great collection</em><br />
                        If you never had them or just want to play them again.  This is a great collection of all those sonic games I grew up playing. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Awesome!</em><br />
                        I played a majority of the games on here growing up and I absolutely LOVED them.  I just ordered the game on ebay a few hours ago being that it says it is sold out on here, hopefully it will be here in time for Christmas! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> a good collection missing afew rare gems</em><br />
                        This collection is a must have if your feeling abit nostalgic. It contains some of the best games of all time inparticular the four Mega Drive classics (Sonic 1, 2, 3 &#038; Knuckles) and the fantastic Sonic &#038; Knuckles lock-on mini games. You also get the Mega Drive versions of Dr Robotnick&#8217;s Mean Bean Machine and Sonic Spinball and the dull Sonic 3D: Blast, the last Sonic game made for Sega&#8217;s 16 bit console. This collection also includes a selection of rare Game Gear games. Some of these are quite fun others are not so good.</p>
<p>Here are all games included in this collection:</p>
<p>Mega Drive:<br />
<br />Sonic The Hedgehog ****<br />
<br />The first Sonic game released for the Mega Drive.</p>
<p>Sonic The Hedgehog 2 *****<br />
<br />The second Sonic game introduced us to Sonic&#8217;s new sidkick Miles &#8216;Tails&#8217; Prower, a two tailed flying fox. The game was also a much larger affair, with 10 levels intead of 6.</p>
<p>Sonic The Hedgehog 3 ****<br />
<br />The third outing for Sonic and Tails introduced us to Kunckles and the mysterious Angel Island.</p>
<p>Sonic &#038; Knuckles ****<br />
<br />The fourth game in the series was the last great Sonic game ever made in my opinion. It featured a special lock-on capability which allowed you to plug all the previous games in the series into the top of the cartrige and unlock special games.</p>
<p>Sonic Spinball **<br />
<br />Not much to say about this game. It&#8217;s simply a pinball game, and a bad one at that.</p>
<p>Sonic 3D ***<br />
<br />The last Sonic released for the Mega Drive. The pointless attemt at 3D made this a dull and slow affair when compared to the other four games in the series.</p>
<p>Dr Robotnick&#8217;s Mean Bean Machine ***<br />
<br />A puzzle game featuring Dr Robonick from the animated series &#8216;The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog&#8217;.</p>
<p>Sonic &#038; Knuckles lock-on games:</p>
<p>Sonic 3 special stage game (Sonic 1) ***<br />
<br />Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Sonic 2) *****<br />
<br />Sonic 3 &#038; Knuckles (Sonic 3) *****</p>
<p>Game Gear Games:<br />
<br />Sonic The Hedgehog ***<br />
<br />Sonic Chaos ***<br />
<br />Sonic Drift **<br />
<br />Sonic Labyrinth *<br />
<br />Dr Robotnick&#8217;s Mean Bean Machine ***<br />
<br />Sonic Blast *</p>
<p>There are also four non-sonic unlockable games, their nothing special but worth a look.</p>
<p>The Ooze **<br />
<br />Comix Zone***<br />
<br />Flicky *<br />
<br />Ristar ***</p>
<p>This is a great collection, however i still can&#8217;t understand why Sega felt the need not to include rare titles such as Sonic CD, Sonic R and Sonic The Fighters. Even though they have released them together in the Sonic Gems Colletion, i still feel it would have been much better to have released them all in one big collectors package instead. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Tha King of Sonic Collections</em><br />
                        I amit it&#8217;s tight. Thou it&#8217;s messed up that the other game gear games is in sonic Gems.</p>
<p>This game includes Sonic&#8217;s &#8220;Golden Years&#8221;</p>
<p>Sonic the hedgehog<br />
<br />Sonic the hedgehog 2<br />
<br />Sonic the hedgehog 3<br />
<br />Sonic &#038; Knuckles<br />
<br />Sonic 3 &#038; Knuckles*<br />
<br />Knuckles In Sonic 2*<br />
<br />Blue Spere*<br />
<br />Flicky*<br />
<br />Dr. Robotnik&#8217;s Mean Bean Machine<br />
<br />Sonic 3D Blast<br />
<br />Sonic Spinball<br />
<br />Ristar the shooting Star*<br />
<br />Comix Zone (Yea!)*<br />
<br />The Ooze*<br />
<br />Sonic the hedgehog (Game Gear)<br />
<br />Sonic labrinyth (Game Gear)<br />
<br />Sonic Drift (Game Gear)<br />
<br />Sonic Blast (Game Gear)<br />
<br />Sonic Spinball (Game Gear)<br />
<br />Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine (Game Gear)<br />
<br />*=Unlockable Games<br />
<br />If you didn&#8217;t Know Comix Zone was a fighting game (Kinda Hard), The Ooze is some wierd but injoyable game, Ristar I don&#8217;t know much about (Sorry), Flicky is the bird found in sonic games, Blue Spere is a game you get when you hook on a non sonic game on the Sonic &#038; Knuckles Lock-On Cartridge (Genises), You get Sonic 3 &#038; Knuckles When you hook it on the Sonic &#038; Knuckles Lock-On Cartridge, Knuckles in Sonic 2 is what you get when you hook Sonic the hedgehog 2 on the sonic &#038; Knuckles Lock-On Cartridge</p>
<p>Note that The Japan Version has more features<br />
<br />If your a old gamer junkie this is perfect for you or new comers of sonic and want to get used to the gameplay could do this  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Sonic is King</em><br />
                        Elemental old-school 2D platforming sprite-based nirvana.  Bosses, rings, a meaningful score&#8230;anybody remember the last time a score actually meant something?  You WILL care about your score on this baby- so much sprity Japanese goodness in one package- its challenging and interesting enough for adults, and cute and harmless enough for kids.  Speed, colors, sprites, smooth controls- I&#8217;ve fully converted.  I&#8217;ve seen the light.  I renounce you Mario as a false and demonic god.  From now on its Sonic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Turn off the phone, put the tv by the toilet, lock the doors&#8230;.I&#8217;M GOIN&#8217; TRIBAL!!!!! </p>

                          Who would win if a polar bear and a jellyfish teamed up to fight an armadillo and a yak? Find out with Hail to the Chimp, a no holds barred mini-game battleground pitting player vs. player with the leadership of the animal kingdom on the line. It&#8217;s filled with fast action for up to four players, good-natured non-stop political humor and satirical commentary. A rambunctious group of candidates have appeared to take over the rule of the Lion. Hail to the Chimp features ten playable characters from every corner of the animal kingdom. Each has its own strengths, weaknesses, political platforms and agendas.  In a series of politically themed mini-games set in various environments, you&#8217;ll scramble to collect as many clams (votes) as possible. The more clams you have, the more damage your character can dish out and take. Characters include: Ptolemy the Hippo, Toshiro the Octopus, Santo the Armadillo, Murgatroyd the Jellyfish, and Crackers the Monkey. Go it alone or team up with competitors to gang up on the rest of the field. Each combination of characters creates a different special move. Hail to the Chimp also has its own news coverage, the GRR News Network hosted by Woodchuck Chumley. The GRR keeps track of player standings and broadcasts candidates&#8217; victory speeches. It also holds plenty of additional game content. This mix of TV smears ads, talk show segments and commercials are in part available immediately on entry into the game and unlockable as the game progresses, providing relentless humor and hours worth of additional play time. </p>

<h4 style="text-align: left;color: red">User Ratings and Reviews</h4>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">2 Stars</strong>  <em> A great concept but not really fun</em><br />
                        The concept, design and theming are great. The intro is funny, lots of little extras.</p>
<p>The problem is that the game is just not very fun. Gameplay is basically a hundred variations on the same goal: get clams.</p>
<p>The complex graphics don&#8217;t display well on smaller TV&#8217;s. Sometimes there&#8217;s so much going-on that you don&#8217;t really know what to do.</p>
<p>I tried on several occasions to play this game with various friends. Each time, the outcome was the same: boring. After about 10 minutes we switched to something else. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> You can play it with your kids!</em><br />
                        Hail To The Chimp</p>
<p>FINALLY a good party game to play with my kids/family!</p>
<p>Easy to pick up and play with very simple controls (my wife could actually play it) &#8211; bright vibrant colors (kids love it) it&#8217;s a great party game with easy to understand gameplay and easily the funniest game I&#8217;ve played in years. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Finally, a Xbox 360 Party Game!</em><br />
                        I have been quietly anticipating this game for awhile simply because its the first decent party game for Xbox 360. Not a huge Mario Party fan lately since its the same old game over and over. I got this day one and am very happy, especially with the low price tag. <img src='http://www.xboxreviewguide.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

                          Godzilla: Save The Earth takes the action and gameplay of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters and brings it to the next level. It&#8217;s deeper, it&#8217;s prettier, and it&#8217;s online?what more could a monster-lovin&#8217; Xbox gamer ask for? You and your Xbox wage war in this thrilling game to save Earth from its enemies. The planet is under siege? protect it from complete destruction as Godzilla, the towering titan of our time! Roam the earth battling notorious mega-monsters, an alien invasion and ongoing military attacks. Take your mammoth size and rage online to smash sworn enemies in a crushing display of melee madness. This is monumental, city-trampling action that kicks serious tail.  Hurl skyscrapers (and enemies) to demolish skylines with authority   Control the fate of Tokyo, San Francisco, New York and more   Stomp through city-crushing slugfests, multi-monster melees and wild challenges </p>

<h4 style="text-align: left;color: red">User Ratings and Reviews</h4>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> Jet Jaguar! Friend to all children (&#038; adults)</em><br />
                        I got this game, rather than the previous version, because you get Jet Jaguar here. He&#8217;s the coolest one. Someone reviewed him as being a stupid monster in this game with a pointless ability to change his size. Actually the size shifting is functional in battle. I just wish Giant Robot or Ultraman were included as well. Anyways, this is a good, fun Xbox game. Your can fight a 4-way melee with the monsters of your choice (go online and get the master-unlock-everything cheat), set difficult on &#8220;hard&#8221; and watch those things go off on each other, throwing buildings and ships and whatnot. I really like and recommend &#8220;Godzilla save the Earth&#8221;. It&#8217;s just semi-mindless, action-packed fun. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> Good, Especially If You Don&#8217;t Own Melee</em><br />
                        For what it is, an update of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, it is really good. You have more monsters and even some mini games during gameplay and you can play games seperately. When it comes to the overall gameplay, monster selection and minigames, this game has Melee beat. </p>
<p>The monsters that were on Melee are here along with a host of others that weren&#8217;t. Baragon, Space Godzilla, and Jet Jaguar among others have been added to this game and it is great. The minigames are also fun. From destroying cities to saving buildings from invading aliens, the game offers a lot in the fun area. </p>
<p>The only real bad thing about this game is that it is basically a rehash of the story that was in Melee. This is the sequel. Overall, this game is really worth getting, especially if you don&#8217;t have the Gamecube game. The sad thing is that this was originally supposed to have a deep story, but it was cut due to time restraints. Oh well, I guess a sequel to Melee is better than nothing at all.  </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">5 Stars</strong>  <em> its   godzilla   nuff said!!!  you will love this</em><br />
                        this game is richer deeper  and more fun that the other godzilla games&#8230;the big guy has  more moves and attacks than ever before&#8230; the graphics are amazing!</p>
<p> i played alot of the import godzilla games(godzilla generations ..for the import  sega dreamcast) from japan and i have to say this version  beats them all  hands down!   so, get in your chair.. fire up the xbox and  have a great time trashing the town.. godzillas back &#8230;and he love to hear us call his name! </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> More like &#8220;Orga Rules!&#8221;</em><br />
                        Here is a little bit about some of the monsters in this game&#8230;<br />
<br />1.Godzilla 2000<br />
<br />7/8<br />
<br />Godzilla 2000 is a powerful opponent, but of course he is no match for Orga.<br />
<br />2.Space Godzilla<br />
<br />7/8<br />
<br />Space Godzilla would score higher if only it did not take him so long to recharge his energy attacks (and wasn`t so slow).<br />
<br />3.Mecha King Ghidorah<br />
<br />7/8<br />
<br />Mecha King Ghidorah is so fast using one attack after another, he sometimes gets annoying to play as.<br />
<br />4.Mothra<br />
<br />7/8<br />
<br />Mothra is unfortunetely a rather weak monster as an adult but as a larva she can just fight the opponent until she gets low health, then turn into an adult and usually she can easily defeat the already-damaged opponent.<br />
<br />5.King Ghidorah<br />
<br />6/8<br />
<br />King Ghidorah has good air and energy attacks, but if he is still recharging while on the ground, he is easy to defeat.<br />
<br />6.Mechagodzilla 3<br />
<br />6/8<br />
<br />Mechagodzilla 3 has great energy attacks, but lacks the power of using them enough.<br />
<br />7.Jet Jaguar<br />
<br />Jet Jaguar stinks with energy attacks, but his normal attacks are suprisingly good&#8230;<br />
<br />Anyway, as my title says Orga rules in this game and the other kaiju include Destroyah, Gigan, Megalon, Rodan, Anguirus, Megaguirus, Mechagodzilla 2, Moguera 2 and Baragon. </p>
<p> <strong style="color:#ffd000; background-color:#fafafa">4 Stars</strong>  <em> The Best Godzilla Game for the Best Game System</em><br />
                        Action mode in this game rocks! You use your monster to beat the crud out of other monsters and you get money for each win which you then use to buy more powerful monsters with. Godzilla 90`s is easily the best in the game. Unfortunetely, Rodan and Destroyah suck as does Jet Jaguar and Baragon. Otherwise, this game is probabally the best video game for Xbox. </p>
