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.

4 Stars A “detailed” Pirates game
Very detailed game that should provide a more hard-core and detail oriented person some time-alone fun for many, many hours. Visually exciting with a steep learning curve, this game offers the opposite of the “Sid Meier’s Pirates” gaming work load. Very hands on and all the small details are on you, the gamer. Avoid the easy-to-aquire cheats: Will ruin the gaming experience. I purchased the game for a low price, so overall good buy.
3 Stars Average
I was so excited to finally find a copy of this game and eagerly awaited for it to arrive….excited until I played it. It is nowhere near as exciting as I thought it would be having read all the reviews. I mean it’s ok for an average game but that’s it. The only really good part is when you are at sea in your ship. At sea, the graphics are really good. Watch out for those storms though. I have been playing for about 4 hrs or so now and those storms sink my ships every single time. Must be some trick to survive them I guess. We shall see. If you find this cheap somewhere, pick it up. But I wouldn’t spend too much money on it.
5 Stars awesome
This is simply a fantastic game-incredible complexity, I don’t know hao they crammed it all in-the se-battles , the Duals-you can play this game for months and still discover new things-one of the most complex detailed games ever made.
2 Stars pirates of the caribbean
I had a problem with this video game. It came damage, I never can see the video game.
I was explain the problem but I never recived any solution at this problem.
1 Star the game that could have been
This game could have been a great game had bethesda finished it. I am sure that they were pressed for time but to release a defective product there is no excuse! they should have recalled the game. insted ,all they did was issue an e-mail to stores to expect returns. and even if you follow the step by step instructions from the bethesda site on how to keep the game from freezing or reseting it does not work, believe me I tried many times! the game is rather fun when it’s not malfunctioning however it becomes quiet irritating when you have been at sea for an hour sinking ships only to see your game freeze!!! arggghhh!!! so i could not take it any more and returned the game back to the store for a full refund. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ALL OF THEM ARE DEFECTIVE!!!! SHAME ON YOU BETHESDA SOFTWORKS!!!

4 Stars Very Good
I think that this is one the funniest games ever made. Best of all its compatible with Xbox 360!
2 Stars Meh…
It does have some very homerous elements in the game.It did make me laugh out loud a few times. But other than that it is very boring.
1. You run through a set path shooting enemies
2. The cool weapons have limited ammo
3.It is over the top hard for a simple game
4. the graphics are terrible
If anyhting rent it to see the jokes then don’t waste you money
5 Stars HURAHH For The Shrub Patrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got this game just today and BOY is it fun and Funny( Even my dad was laughing). I’m used to the British humor so its very funny. Weapons are great too, ahhh the LandShark Gun! You no what i think im going to go play it now!
5 Stars I am Armed and Dangerous
Armed and Dangerous is a great game. The story is okay, but the main point of buying this game is for the humor and destroying everything in sight. The weapons are crazy and destructive. For example, The Shark Gun is the scenes from Jaws into a gun. The big letdowns are that there is no multiplayer and you can only play as one character while you have a whole squad. This game is still really good. You should buy it.
4 Stars fun and hilarious!
This game is basiclly a spoof of Star Wars. You play as a scottish guy named Roman. You travel with three friends. One of them is a blind, short scientist. The weopons are hilarous. One gun shoots a shark in the ground which repeatdly eats enemies. There are some cool bombs to. If the games the right price you should snag it fast. I got mine at game crazy really cheap. So go out and get it.

5 Stars An Absolute Killer GAME!!!
Tron 2.0 Killer App is a port of the PC, but has some awesome bonus levels(light cycling levels) as well as XBOX LIVE (which unfortunately no one plays). This is a really fun game from a FPS,Vehicliar Light Cycles and some puzzles (but not as deep as the PC version). I love both the PC and the Xbox version so I am not biased about where it’s played, it just is a great game that should be played by anyone who is a fan of Tron or FPS games. A MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEDED GAME!!
5 Stars Game Master

4 Stars In the tradition of TRON
First off, there has been much confusion from lack of information on the web between this game and TRON 2.0. Well, I’m here to let you know- Tron 2.0 and Tron 2.0 Killer App are the same game. The differane being that Killer App has many extra fewatures available for the xbox including more multiplayer options, and of course XBOX Live.
Now, about the game. First off, the story is wonderful. It picks up modern day and continues the storyline from the origional TRON movie. Throughout the game, you slowly unfold the story of what has occurred during the intervening years. Much fun.
Graphics. Nice. Not fancy, but the idea is that it is still essentially the TRON universe, just updated a bit. The result being about what you’d expect.
Gameplay. Interesting. A little awkward with the upgrades, and annoyingly must be adjusted level by level. You can save at most points except during lightcycle races, which doesn’t sound so bad, but when you meant to save right before the race and you don’t and you want to go to bed or something- well, it gets annoying. Lots of weapons which are fun to play around with. There are 4 basic weapons each with 2-3 upgrades. Smooth gameplay otherwise. The only significant annoyance is the sound, which please see below. There are also one or two glitches. Also, the objectives list to occasionally check is completely unreadable. Completely. I could vaguely make out smudges in the shape of letters. It’s probably readable except that the contrast of the letters against a similarly colored background (which is a green box which the objective is printed on) makes awful illegability
Sound. Okay, the voices are pretty low. Annoying at first, it gets increasingly irritating as occasionally you actually don’t know what to do because you can’t hear what you were told to do. Music and sounds effects are wonderful though, and fans of the movie will recognise many of the sound effects.
Overall. If you like Halo and other first person shooters, you’ll like this. This also has the advantage that many people don’t like blood- no blood here! Merely derezolution. It usually isn’t too difficult to figure out where to go and what to do, and little need to worry about getting lost. Also, for those of you who are sick and tired of beating a game the first night you get it you probably don’t need to worry about this. TRON 2.0 Killer App is a very long game, so while you pay a lot of money for it (as with most games these days) the game is so massive, so many multiplayer options (aside form the xbox live) that you actually feel like you get your money for it. And that’s a nice change.
1 Star Interesting level designs
Tron 2.0
It really is sad when developers have such a good idea for a game but the end product falls short of fun and entertaining. I’m sure the fan boys out there are going to chew up my review for this but first, I don’t think the movie Tron even made much of an impact at the box office. I think I first saw it in ’92. I recently saw the game on the shelves and decided to give it a try.
The graphics of Killer App look really good. Granted the levels each consist of one color in a few different shades. None the less animation is smooth and I never incurred choppy graphics. Design of the levels, characters, weapons and light cycle all feel authentic. The sound is also well done especially with surround sound, but the bass was over done.
The game play was a poor experience. First of all the guns are horribly inaccurate do almost no damage except the sniper rifle. Unloading on your enemies quickly drains your energy level leaving you vulnerable and with only your disc as protection. Health also drains pretty fast. I am a huge fan of first person shooters and Killer App simply felt more like a platform adventure in a shooter engine. The enemies can be at the end of a vast stadium or expansive hallway and can hit you with bullseye accuracy from the first shot they fire. Thats fine, games are more fun when they’re more challenging. However, most of the levels, you have to pay extremely close attention to your steps since you can easily fall off a catwalk to your doom; that takes away the tactical use of strafing and its just poor planning. The shooting part of the game makes for a frustrating experience since you WILL be swarmed by enemies with perfect accuracy and you have to juggle your attention between your energy bar, your aiming and your footing plus for the most part tracking down an objective you have no idea where to find and lastly the enemies that are respawning-think Halo legendary difficulty, with almost no ammo and no friends to help you.
Now I’m sure any huge computer dork would love the ability management system in the game. Not only is it poorly explained but its also another factor that holds back any fun in the game, as you have to aquire abilities and power them up. Why should that be so bad? because leveling up abilities DRAINS YOUR ENERGY BAR leaving you with even less precious ammo to use against the waves of deadeye drones trying to air you out. I won’t even go into the plot as it doesn’t matter.
I suppose the only thing I actually enjoyed in the game was the light cycles. Before you get all excited, there is very limited use of the cycles in the game, in fact almost none. In all Tron 2.0 Killer App is a graphically noble attempt at the FPS genre. The short comings far outweigh its attempt. Heres a quick summary of the experience:
read boring vague menu, more vague menu, kill 5 drones, miss a step and fall to death, retry—and it just loops over and over like that. Of course if you’re a huge fan of the movie and enjoy platform games and enjoy “reading” a video game rather than playing it, look for Tron 2.0 in your local game store’s bargain bin.
And one last note to the fan boys that love this game, I read an article recently that says the director of “The Princess Diares” will be releasing a new Tron movie-so look for a mediocre movie to go along with the bland game.

3 Stars bought as a present for a foster child
I really don’t know a lot about this game as I bought it as a Christmas present.
5 Stars Bloody Hell
[...] It so how amazing how well they made quidditch a video game. Each team has it’s special abilility (like griffindor has the wealsy wangler). They have all the teams including bulgaria except Ireland [...]. you play the hogwarts cup and the world cup until you win. You can also play 2-player. Best game ever. Hriday Kemburu
5 Stars Game for anyone!
If you like a racing game or a high speed game this is for you. I don’t actually think anyone will dilike this game because it is the best game ever!!!! I love playing this game every day trying to unloclk quiditch cards, stadiums, brooms, and teams. I think you should buy this game (…). Some matches can go from 5 minutes to an hour, because it depends how fast you git the snitch meter up. You also can do special moves such as the Wronski Feint and Wealsy Wangler. You should ask for this game or your parents should get it for your birthday or something. Hk
5 Stars Best game I probaly own
This game is probably the best game I ever bought. Even though I got the game two years (2005) after it came out(2003) I never get bored of playing it. You can choose difficulty levels by the type of broom. Comet 260-begginer, Nimbus 2000- a little harder, Nimbus 2001- hard, Firebolt-Expert. You also get to play in the Hogwarts cup and the quiditch world cup. Which is ver cool! I don’t know why they didn’t include ireland in the game but it is still good. At the begginging you have to do a 6 challenges and than you can start playing. You can also play in Exibition mode (2 player mode) Which is hard and fun if you are playing against someone who is just as good as you. P.S. I bought the game and didn.t open it yet but researched it and played it at my friends houses so much I know all this. P.S.S It is very cheap right now.
3 Stars Where do I start?
Okay, if you know the basics of Quidditch, I don’t need to explain. To the review:
Graphics:
Definetly the game’s strongest point. The players, the stadiums, everything looks beautiful. I love playing in the Japanese Quidditch stadium, because there’s a big pond with a cool little bridge that just looks wicked. The little movies are fun to watch because everything looks fantastic.
Sound:
Also a strong point, but it really starts getting repetitive when you play your 5th match. Still, it at least sounds pretty acurate.
Gamplay:
THIS is the game’s weakest point. For one, it’s just way too easy to swamp the other team 360 points to nothing. When you’re playing for the World Cup, it can get kinda boring.
Also, the idea of Quidditch seems too simplified. You can’t fly wherever you wish, you don’t have any vertical control…
It’s still pretty fun, and you can get really wraped up in the game and forget it has anyting to do with ‘harry potter’ but it’s almost just a kid game, which kinda ruins it.
The 2-Player match can help this, because if you play with someone who’s just as good as you, then it gets real challenging and real fun.
So, it’s all right for a kid’s game, but rent it before you buy it.
