Well this is another installment of the Disney Sports series and has proven to be about the same level as the others. The gameplay is not designed with the true idea of building a sports game in mind, it is designed to atract a younger demographic into the video game industry. Really, it is a good idea for Nintendo to let this game be published because the earlier they can get new gamers hooked, the better off the company will be in the future. I am not saying this is a horrible game because it really is not, it is just sub par. You probably wont have much fun with this game unless you are a big fan of disney or other games for the younger crowd.

This game is so much FUN - It's fast moving, there are no penalties for fouls, it's easy to slam dunk, shoot lay-ups, all with special effects. The sports commentator in this game is fun to listen to. This game is my all time favorite. If you like true sports games, you shouldn't buy this one. If you just want to have alot of fun, you will not be disappointed with this game.

This is a NBA Jam-style game is sweet, instead of 2-on-2 you get 3-on-3, there are no fouls, and the special Disney Magic, THE SPECIAL SLAMS! To earn the right to special slam, press A again as soon as the ball enters the hoop! Do this 3 times to start the magic, to use the magical dunk, press L & R Simultaneously! Be sure not to use while the opponent is near! Use while on a "fastbreak" (when you steal the ball and you are all alone on your opponents side of the court!) The rest is NBA Jam with a Disney twist!

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is the only game that allows players to test their skateboarding skills in the large and imaginative worlds of Disney. Incorporating Activision's powerful Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 game engine, Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure lets players perform skating tricks just like the pros- but as their favorite Disney and Disney/Pixar characters. Players skate using non-traditional boards like tiki masks and frying pans, solving puzzles as they go

The coolest part of this game is that you really start to feel like you are Buzz, or Woody in a skate park! It was awesome, and the best part is that it isnt a hard game, but it keeps you interested! This one would be great for the whole family!

When I played the demo of this game, the graphics are good, no blood or guts in this game(I hate blood & guts), you can unlock Lil Romeo as a playable character for all his fans to know, and this game is fun.

Rocks! You can grind on rocks! You can grind on rocks...and branches, and dominos. YOu can go to another planet and skate. Grind on the craters! And you can play as the old monkey with the red butt from Lion King. Yes, I repeat, you can skate as the red-butt monkey. That ALONE would get 5 stars from me. But you also get to skate around a pizza parlor and an arcade, oh yah, skate through the pizza oven, no problem. The trick list is exellent and the characters are cool and funny, just like in the movies.

At first I thought this was a second-rate Warcraft clone, and to a large extent it is, but I have to admit that I am having a ton of fun with this game, drawbacks and all. Xbox owners are freakin' starving for strategy games and this one delivers. Warcraft fans should enjoy this game as it is basically a dumbed-down version of that game with a few new quirks and great graphics. One of the fresh ideas is the titans which you control and can use to stomp down many a foe. One of these is a giant ogre that can eat enemies (or allies) to regain health as he swings his club in wide arcs, sending bodies flying. There is also a giant slime that dissolves and absorbs enemy units to increase it's mass and power, a giant boar that launches flaming projectiles and rocks from a catapult on it's back, a lightning elemental, and a giant spiked ball that simply crushes the opposition. Controlling these guys is superfun, but only a small part of combat. As the game progreeses, you take over different goblin clans with various abilities and individualized units. You only get 10 active goblins to a clan at once so choose your units wisely. Each clan (you usually control 2 or 3 at a time) is assigned a button so you can leave one to defend basecamp, one to search for resources (gold for destruction and souls which are earned through battle or at soul fountains), and one to attack the enemies base along with a titan; or you can send all you've got at the enemies at once, or use any other strategy you can think up. These features are what make this game original and fun to play even if you've played Warcraft to death. Sure, the game lacks that game's depth, but it's still a lot of fun and you can't beat the price. Besides, there isn't much RTS competition on the Xbox besides the also excellent Alien vs. Predator: Extinction. The only major drawback to the game besides the aforementioned lack of depth is the lengthy cutscenes spoken in goblin language and subtitled. They are actually quite awesome to look at and the story is cool (if pointless) but they take a ridiculous amount of time because of the subtitles which stay on the screen and hault the conversation so that there is a maddening 5-10 second pause between each line of dialogue, presumably to give you time to read the subtitles. Apparently they think we all read at a 2nd grade level. A single-player, customisable skirmish mode would have done wonders for this game, but there is only a multi-player version which I haven't played yet so I can't review that aspect, though I imagine it's sweet. If you are a RTS fan and an Xbox owner who doesn't play PC games, your prayers are answered (in part) by this game and AVP:Extinction. There are dozens of better RTS's out there on PC. But if that's not an option than this game is highly recommended.

Ok the moment I saw the cover I thought this would be a great game. I love the way they made the titans, they aren't so powerful that they're invinsible, but they are strong enough to do some SERIOUS damage. Each level is different, which means that it doesn't get boring fast at all. you have to have a different strategy for each level so it's pretty hard. BUT FUN!! The way they gave eacch unit special abilities makes it so that you son't just get the unit that's the strongest. the only setback I found is that the cinematics take so long.

P.S. the person that wrote last review is a TOTAL IDIOT!!!!!

This is a stupendous game! The first good RTS for the console! It is extremely fun and interesting using the different clans, who are strong against another clan and weak against another. I enjoyed the Titans. The Ogre is always fun, walking around and crushing and eating everything in sight. The Warpig was fun and it looks really funny. You can never go wrong being a giant slime ball, dribbling corrosive slime on everyone. I found the battleball to be very fun, jumping on hordes of guys and crushing them all over. I believe this is a game most everyone should have. The only drawback is that there is no computer skirmishes. Get this game if you want to live! Control a horde of vomitting frogs is your destiny!

I'm not a gamer, just a casual once in a while PS2-er who likes to break up the monotony. I play this game with my boyfriend using the 2-person option and it's a lot of fun. I've tried the career mode but it's just too difficult for someone like me who only has about an hour a week to play the game.

I have just a couple gripes: I like the fact that you can create your own player -- you choose the face, the hair, the outfit, etc. Would it have been SO DIFFICULT to add female players?

Second, for the two player game, you don't have to option of putting in your name and then allowing your friend to put in their own character to play against you. For example, I log in under my name and when I go to the two-player option, my boyfriend must use one of the player's names and figures, he can't use his own. Plus, even when we do play against each other, we don't have the option of saving our progress and advancing through the ranks. That would have been fun.

This game rocks! The gear, the bikes, the music are all worth the price!

MTX is a good fun game. it has a sick career mode and u get sponshers like in real life.

I have owned this game for about a month and I truly love all aspects of this great college football video game. If you like football games I think you will like gamebreaker 2003
Have Fun.

I have owned Gamebreaker 2003 for about 1 month and I find it very easy to play. With the blue chip recriuting you can make a good team. I recommened it for any college football fan.

This game is one of the best games for collage i think that there is and if you have nfl gameday 2003 i would recomend you to get this game so you could draft people from this game to the other ... but even if you dont have nfl gameday 2003 this game is still very good

Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord does an incredible job of taking the wargaming genre and making an accessible, exciting game that doesn't rely on a board-game-like approach. The graphics are great for the genre, the battles are well-balanced and expertly built, and the mission editor offers even more replayability. Highly recommended.

After many years of Board type wargames I finally found a realistic PC wargame. Very accurate and plenty of downloads out there with different scenerios.This is definately not a shoot'em up first person shooter, the onus is on you to make the right decisions ahead of time and deploy yor troops and equipment in the right place. If you like company/platoon level action this is the game. The graphics though not like a top level 3-D game are perfect for this all vehicles and equipment are rendered accurately...

I was never quite satisfied with computer wargames before this one. Some other games are rigidly turn-based and use "opportunity fire" and similar strange constructs to make the game appear real-time. Other games are real-time, but you can give very detailed orders to any unit at any time. Even if every squad or machine-gun crew has a radio (which they didn't in WWII), it still takes time for a commander to gather information and get the orders out there. In a computer wargame all this is done by the computer simply updating the map, but this is very difficult to do quickly in real life. Needless to say, both approaches outlined above make for unrealistic games.

Combat Mission feels more realistic because you can only issue orders every 60 seconds. As you can't micro-manage your units, you have to use real tactics that were actually used in WWII, like overwatch, scouting etc. HQ units also do a good job of simulating command and control. If a platoon gets broken up, it becomes very difficult to control the squads effectively and it may take some time to put it together again.

Having said all this, the graphics in the game are good but not state of the art. If you want a movie-like experience, go for one of the first-person shooters. If you want to experience what it was like being a company or battalion commander in WWII, pick up Combat Mission.

I thought this was the best digimon game ever! The graphics are amazing...The pictures may not look like it but when you playing the game in your hands! Its totally DIFFERENT!...I can't wait till Digimon World 4 comes out for gamecube...!!1

I like the front cover, and it looks pretty cool

This game is excelent. Sure you don't get many characters but the special attacks will blow your mind! ExLobomon is the best character to me. The mini-game (digimon shoot) is really challenging and the game is still a little hard on easy mode. There is always something to do. I'm trying to get the legendary tamer tag right now. Anywho, can't wait until Digimon: racing comes out.

This game is extremely fun and I would give it a 5 star rating. This is, because this game is the best game in the world.

After our 1000th game of Uno, my family needed a new card game.

So, we gave Mario Party a try.

First off- You don't need an E-Read to play this game.
It was really dubious from the box whether that was the case or not.
You will need to have a coin handy for the "chance" part of the game.

With that said, this game has been very popular with my 5 year old son and 8 year old daughter.

The rules were mercilessly simple (compared to the un-playable Harry Potter Quiditch card game), and we were up and playing almost instantly.

For my 5 year old son, we played open handed the first few games so he got the gist of what each card meant (there is a text explanation of how to play special cards that needs explaining.) After that, he now associates the character on the card with what it does.

My only "complaint" with the game is it can take awhile to finish; I'd say for 3 players, 30-40 minutes is the norm.

Like most games, the fate of the game is largely chance based. However, like Uno, some skill and thought can definitely help you to win the game. (Should I save this card or use it now... what happens if I do / don't do this now. Etc. )

It those characteristics of the game that I enjoy seeing my kids work on.

This game worked perfect on my GBASP. I Hope you like it!!!

I got this game for Christmas and I knew it was going to be great before I tore off the plastic shrinkwrap and popped the disc into my Gamecube. First of all, the game was created by the masters who brought Ren & Stimpy to life, so you know it will be hilarious. Second, the game uses fun cel-shaded graphics for a more cartoonish look. There are about nine levels, all completely different. There are also about nine crazy characters, from a cool fox man to a fat pig lady and a mummy girl. Here is my review:

Graphics: 9/10 Not epic graphics, but they do wonderfully for their purpose (a cartoon-like game) and they run really smooth and fast.

Sound: 7/10 Sometimes the music can get repetetive and the voices are a little quiet. You can't choose the song for the level, but you won't really notice the repetition. Overall the sound is good.

Gameplay: 10/10 The gameplay is really fast and fun. You whiz around the level, performing different reactions (such as getting started on fire, or covered with dookie, or getting decapitated) and there are lots of special tricks and ramps and rails to keep you busy. The multiplayer could be a little more flexible, since you can only play two people at once, but you can always take turns.

This is one really fun game, and at $20 you can't go wrong.

Go!Go!Hypergrind! is one one of the best games ever!!! Made by Spumco who made Ren and Stimpy. (Well mostly by Spumco) It's not known a lot,but really it's a title. Okay now I'll talk about the game. It's a very funny game espeisly it's moives!!! It has a negateve reaction system were you can get your freaky character indjured for points but I mean indjured by getting your characteres head get chopped off or catch them on fire ect.
(No blood) You skateboard in this game. If you fall you don't get any points. When it loads you get to be the instrutor and try to ollie(jump) on a target! Sorry I have a lot more time left I have a lot more to tell you.

Grachics 9\10

Music 3\10

Funny 9\10

Negate reaction 10\10

Final 10\10

P.S. You need to know math!

its a good and funny very funny game of spumco and poponchi,its a good idea put a spumco and poponchi in the videogame because is awesome a 2 companies with a big experience i recommended much this game.
excellent buy it.

My cell phone has better games.Don't spend too much for this one,if you have a free rental coupon you might want to use that to rent this game.They had better games than this back on Commodore PET64.

I can't do much more justice to the review than "zooter" - if you need to escape the wife, kids and mortgage for a couple of hours, nothing could serve up spite better than the archaic graphics and 2 bit sound of a monotonus game like Astrosmash! We all have better things to do with our lives, but with reality TV marinating every watercooler conversation wouldn't it be nice to respond to Susie Sitcom with a snide, "You know, I missed Idol Survivor Factor last night because I broke my high score on Space Hawk!" Then Susie asks, giggling, "wasn't that an Intellivision game?" "You bet, and it looks even worse on my 60" widescreen home theater than it did in 1981! Now back to work."
If you grew up with Intellivision, this really is a must. Even if you play it for 30 minutes and never go back, you can hear the annoying sound of those laser cannons in Space Battle one last time. A couple of feautures that were surpising upsides: the background music tracks (I swear that New Order sang the Intellivision headliner tune), the documentary and interviews with the programmers. I was into the whole Blue Sky Ranger programmer posse that had a solid web presence through the dot-com bubble and was glad to fork over a couple bucks in their direction now that they have a solid product offering. Good for them. These extras are nice for those who are informed or have the slightest interest in the 1980s videogame wars. The downsides - the controller interface is alright, but really makes some of the games almost impossible to play. Also, I recall the Intellivision being a 16 directional interface (compared to 8 for most other systems) and I find that the directional smoothness is not the same on these games (perhaps X-box is only 8 - I can't imagine - but it does seem odd that the movement is so jerky). I would pay $100 for a pair of USB or x-box ready Intellivision controllers, but I'm sure the market is so tiny it would hardly be worth the hardware development effort. This thin number of reviews is proof enough. I would have also liked to see the licensed material (D&D, Tron, etc.) in this package as well as the other thrid party titles by developers like Imagic and Activision. There were some great titles in their libraries. Also, it would be cool to have this on X-Box Live. I still talk smack with childhood friend over who was better at Intellivision Baseball. We could now settle the score even though he lives on the other side of the country.

At the very least you can see how you wasted away hundreds of hours of your childhood and are still able to read and write as an adult. Then again, with the aforementioned thin number of reviewers, perhaps most of our Intellivision peers never made it this far!
Anyhow, priced cheaper than an overrated entree' for your lady at Chez Ego, Intellivision Lives delivers the entertainment value.

If reading my header you are confused, look for another video game. For those of you familiar with that exclamation from B-17 Bomber, buy this game right away! You get tons of nostalgia and tons of fun with this disk! Sure the nostalgia may wear off after about 10 minutes, but go beyond that and you will find some truly fun games to revisit and play. I spent many hours in my pre-teen years playing Intellivision, and I still own the original system. I hooked it up about 3 years ago and played some of the games. It was fun, but as you can imagine, hooking up the ancient systems was a real pain in the ass! I was so glad to see Intellivision Lives! for X-Box, I bought it right away. Sure some of the best games are not included like D&D and Tron's Deadly Discs, but there are so many great ones here they won't be missed too badly, and hopefully they will be included in a second volume. B-17 Bomber is still fun to play and I get a kick out of the old "Intellivoice" warning me about Flak and Bandits. Night Stalker is great with it's bass-like background music. I still think "Pinball" is highly addictive, and I am trying desperately to teach my 6 year old son the controls for Utopia so we can play. Sanfu is included and still fun to play. Thunder Castle's theme music is still kind of chilling and though very limited, the game play is engrossing. It's also kind of nifty that there are so many games included that I missed the first go around like Shark! Shark! and the Wrestling game. Sure, there is some trouble converting from the old paddle to the new X-Box controller, but it's not something that should hinder you from picking this game up. For $20 or less if used, you are buying hours of entertainment!
