The graphics on the xbox version aren't that good. The voice acting is horrible. Character movement with the controller will drive you crazy. For example, the slightest error while running and jumping on roofs and walls will cause you to fall off your intended path. I think the developers could have cut us some slack on this one. They get really ticky tack with you pressing the buttons just right. I noticed a lot less problems with similar situations in Uncharted 2 and Res evil 5.
What's great about it: Open environment/sandbox. Lots to do.
What's not so great: control schematics stink. it will take you forever to finish every assignment and collect all treasures.

Call of Duty 4, was my first FPS, so I set the game on "EASY." I played countless hours of shooters since then...So I set KZ2 to "normal" difficulty. I don't know if its just me, but I think the designers of this game made it way too impossible, for you to pass levels. The A.I. partner, Garza, doesn't even do anything. You're doing all the work. It takes me like 20 tries to pass a stupid level. I'm seriously more STRESSED OUT playing this game, and I'm having no enjoyable experience. I'm all for challenges, but c'mon. I'm not afraid to bash game for being to challenging, this game is not user friendly at all. Call of Duty at least gives you the allusion that anyone is an ok player, but KZ2 is slapping you in the face, saying, "you're not going to pass any level in less than 10 tries." Is normal difficulty that much more harder than starting at "easy."?
What's great about it: Hey, it's something new, with a lot of hype.
What's not so great: If you've played one FPS, I guess you've played them all

This is my first time playing any RE game. RE5 is really fun because of its innovative coop mode. It's cool that anyone can join your game as a partner. Other than that, you can easily lose yourself to the gameplay.
What's great about it: Co-op mode, graphics, game play design
What's not so great: always running out of ammo :(

If you're married with kids, like me,...your life is over. Remeber the good old days riding the fresh pow!!, Well, this game sort of brings back memories. Lift tickets are $50 bucks, ouch. This game is cool, cuz the balance board sort of mimics a real board, I guess.
What's great about it: Get to use the Wii balance board.
