This game is absolutely amazing! Graphics, handling, sound all of the above! I still can not find anything wrong with it. Its best feature is the way all the cars handle and drive. The graphics are superb! There are a lot of different cars to choose from. Not easy, not hard. If you bought the originals or just a fan of racing, you gotta check it out!

The game is fast first person platformer. A fresh new adaptation of true and tried platforming. Rather than moving slowly and timing the jump from the edge. Speed is what counts here. You need to be moving at a constant speed to kick open doors, catch a drop wire etc. etc. Every thing is setup for constant nonstop movement. The level designs are so perfect; once you get hang of controls there is no need to stop. The game takes you through roof tops, A/C vents, malls, office walk ways and lots of other varied setups. At every stage there are multiple paths to move forward. There is a lot of freedom and it is tied well with risks.
It may take some time to get a handle on the game. Once you pickup the controls and nail jumps it is very addictive.

I was pretty apprehensive about this title, as every James Bond game after GOLDENEYE was an embarrassment. But QUANTUM reclaims the power of playing as Bond and does it with class. Great graphics, including an incredible 007 model that looks exactly like Daniel Craig. The locations are excellent with a lot of variety.
But most importantly the game is a blast. The gunbattles are intense, heightened by great sound design and music. The Bond gaming experience has never been so immersive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

To be fair this game and its earlier ones were made to bring a more realistic feeling to a WW2 shooter. It is not your typical shooter where you storm through a stage killing enemies by the 100's. You play as a Srg and have to command your squads around to cover one another and flank. The game has great graphics, a good AI, awesome sound effects and a even better story that will challenge and give you many hours of strategic combat. Please understand that most people knock this game because they are used to and I guess are not bored of your average shooter. If you are tired of typical shooters with no strategy whatsoever then I bet you will love this game. Also note that this game focuses alot more on single player then online.

I Love This Game. It's fun, it's easy and it's packed. The only problem is that when I've managed to complete all the RTW's I can imagine becoming quite un-interested with it until we get the DLC anyway. Hopefully along with new superstars, THQ will be able to give us new RTW storylines and arenas to keep us occupied with the DLC until the next installment. This type of thing will also allow THQ to give us a lot more to the game with constant updates instead of trying to put as much on the disc as possible before release date.
Really interesting story mode. This time, it's wrestler specific, so the story mode is much more fleshed out. You will probably get most enjoyment out of this mode.
There is create a finisher mode, which I previously thought had a lot of potential. But after playing with it for a few hours, I realized that the mode is really limited. Based upon what moves you pick in the first few steps, the rest of the steps become more and more limited in terms of what moves you can add. So you can't really create that many amazing looking finishers. If this mode had received more attention, I definitely would have given one more star to the game.

I am more of a Tekken fan per se, but I wanted a next generation fighter for the PS3 and this one is pretty much it.
I have DOA for the 360 and was never really all that impressed with it as a fighter but I have heard that the VF series has always been great.
I have not played it a great deal since I just got it but overall it is pretty nice. The fighting engine is fast and responsive and very similar to Tekken. The texture maps are the most impressive thing since they look real and are nothing short of amazing!
The moves are numerous and the AI is very good since you can not reuse the same tricks over and over again to win consistenly.
Not bad since I have never been a VF fan but I am impressed!

SynopsisExperience the future of warfare in Haze, a cutting-edge shooter in which governments have made outsourcing to Private Military Corporations (PMCs) common practice. You play as Shane Carpenter, a newly enlisted soldier in the year 2048, fighting on behalf of the most powerful PMC to date: Mantel Global Industries. Its newest invention, a biomedical substance known as Nectar, has changed the face of combat by transforming regular men into powerful performance-enhanced human weapons. Now you must take your increased abilities to a war-torn country in hope of annihilating the Promise Hand, a vicious rebel faction. However, you may discover that all is not what it seems, causing you to reconsider where your loyalties truly lie. Will you continue to fight against this threat on Mantel's behalf, or will you decide to join your enemies?You'll rely on advanced gear, high-tech vehicles and deadly weapons to accomplish your objectives. As a Mantel soldier with Nectar coursing through your veins, you'll have special abilities for detecting danger and delivering lethal attacks. Remain a steadfast member of the Mantel regime, or switch sides and become part of the Promise Hand alliance. Choosing to break away from Mantel will grant you new powers, such as Play Dead, Weapon Stealing and Nectar Grenade.

Intense multiplayer battles add to the drama with your choice of online modes, including four-player co-op confrontations. Walk in the shoes of tomorrow's soldier and see what it's like to be the most feared force on the planet.

This might have been a good launch title a for the PS3, but not a year and a half later. When I first saw the game trailer I thought "Wow!!! this will be a awesome game." Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. There is nothing that Haze brings to the table that has not been done in other FPS. The game play to me seems a little sluggish, down trodden, and borish. The environments seem to lack any real details. The characters are cliche. We as gamers dropping so much for a game expect a little more bang for our buck.

Once in a while a game is considered awesome; otherwise there are tons of just good games. This game is definitely awesome. The control is good, the quality is great and game play is very compelling. You'll find it very hard to even take breaks from this game.

I am into simulations both in games and professionally in physics; and while I can see some aspects of how they try to ensure the driving is not too difficult or frustrating it is still an extremely detailed and accurate simulation of a Rally driving experience. I am especially amazed by how much realism they put into the interaction between the vehicle and the surround obstacles in the environment like bushes, trees, guard rails, roadsigns, fences, rocks, logs, and any other debris on or around the track. That includes bits and pieces of other cars that sustain damage during the race. I mention the damage modeling here almost as an aside but the only word to describe the detail and depth of the accurate simulation here is Awesome. You have to see it to believe it - I would recommend this game to any driving sim enthusiast.

I just got this game today (spent about 5 hours so far) and I haven't had any freezes or glitches yet. The closest thing I had to that was one loading screen when going to a saloon took a little longer than normal but thats it. This game is awesome. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes rpgs or action games. The VATS system is amazing and so far I am having a really fun time playing it.
