I think this game is pretty fun.First of all, the graphics are amazing. It makes you fell like you're really there. Gameplay is pretty good too. It was all the features of the previous Madden games: sprint, dive, jump, spin, and all that. Except now, sprint is R2. It's kinda hard to get used to, but it is easier. Also, certain players have new "abilities". Like smart safeties have the ability to read the offenses play every so often, and smart quarterbacks can read the defense's play every so often. So, that's what I liked about this game and I would recommend to anyone looking for a football game.
What's great about it: Awesome graphics, cool in-game features

I thought this game was pretty fun. It was very fun but it had lots of things that could be improved. It's fun to play and it has lots of different classes. But many things could be changed. There is only AD-HOC multi player so you can only play with people near you. Also, the graphics weren't so great. Also, the controls are really hard to get used to and difficult to use. Also, since it is a UMD disc, it is missing alot of things that the PlayStation 2 version of this game has. It has alot less maps and no story mode. But, it is still really fun to play.
What's great about it: Just fun to play
What's not so great: Only has AD-HOC multiplayer, not so great graphics, hard controls

I thought this game was pretty fun. It was long and had lots of missions for lots of different people. I didn't the storyline was that great though. One day you return to San Andreas as Carl Johnson and you go from there, doing missions for other Grove Street gang members. I also thought the two player was really fun. You can visit a certain location where a second player can join and you two can do whatever you want. Also, it's the only Grand Theft Auto game with two player. So, all that was great, but, the graphics weren't so great. |But, that doesn't really ruin the game. So, I would recommend this game to anyone looking so a lengthy, enjoyable, role playing game.

I think this game is pretty fun. It has astounding graphics, easy controls, lots of vehicles, and lots of tracks. The vehicles are, |Bikes, ATVs, Big Rigs, Mud Pluggers, Rally Cars, Buggies, and Racing Trucks. Each type of vehicles has its strenghts and weaknesses. For example, Big Rigs have great handling in the mud, but are pretty slow. So, the vehicles are good, but, it is lacking gameplay types. It has "Play", which is where there are different "tickets" in which you can choose to race on. Each ticket consists of 3 or 4 races. Each race has a set track and type of vehicle you must use. You must come in the top three in the race in order to qualify for the next race on the ticket. From finishing in the top three, you get points. The more points you get, you unlock more tickets and vehicles. There is also online play, where you can join a game or make a game setup to the rules of your liking. But, that is all there is. There is no free race or splitscreen. So, I think that kind of hurt the game, the "Play" and the online is still really fun.
What's great about it: Great graphics, lots of tracks, nice controls, lots of vehicles, nice online
What's not so great: No split screen, no free race

I really like this game. The races are very intense. It has nice features like nitrous, drifting, and special care capabilities. The special car capabilities are things that can only be used by a certain type of car. For example, only tuners have the power to slow down time so they can weave through traffic. Other cars can do other things. And there are many different types of cars. The are tuners, choppers, muscle cars, and many more. Also, I like how you can specifically customize your car. You can customize things from your license plate to flashing neon lights underneath your car. I also like the different types of races. But, the only type of mutiplayer you can do in AD/HOC, so you can only play with friends that are near you. But, the many different cities you can race in make up for. I really enjoy this game and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, intense street racing game.
What's great about it: Exclusive features, customize cars

I really like this game. I think the story line is alot better than the previous Grand Theft Auto games. The storyline makes sense, rather than you just showing up one day like in Grand Theft Auto III and such. This game will definetely keep you going for a long time. It has lots and lots of missions. I've spent lots of time on the game and I'm still only about 50% done. The missions are a good mix of assassinations, car chases, and all out war. I also like the usage of SIXAXIS. Some games don't include it, but Grand Theft Auto IV does. You can use it to reload, drive bikes, drive hellicopters, and to participate in various merriments like bowling and darts. I think it was easy to get the hang of, but if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. I also like the things there are to do around town that you can do with your friends or with your date. There are things from comedy clubs, to strip clubs, from bars to retaurants, and from bowling to playing pool. Also, it is very realistic. The things that have improved realism are: graphics (improved alot), dialouge, weapons, damge taking and driving. The driving is a bit difficult at first, but is easy to get use to. Also, it sometimes gets really dark, but it can simply be solved by turning up the brightness. Also, the online mutliplayer is really fun. There are many different modes with many different variables: weapon sets, locations and amount of traffic. All these create endless fun and I think this game is great!
What's great about it: Great graphics, lots of things to do, plenty of missions, very realistic
What's not so great: Driving is a bit difficult, sometimes gets really dark
