SSX Tricky is more of an upgrade than a sequal to SSX, but it is still an exceptional game. Two brand new cources, Garibaldi and Alaska are added and both are really fun courses. The old levels are all changed, and some like Snowdream and Pipedream are really different. (Even better, in my opinion) There are 5 new characters, along with all of the old ones from SSX except for 2. There are lots of different grabs you can do, and then you can tweak them all out. The addition of UBER tricks makes the game even more interesting and fun. Each rider has his or her signature move, along with a few other UBER tricks that a couple other riders might be able to do. The only con is the fact that there are only 3 grab buttons on the Xbox version, as opposed to the 4 on the PS2 version, so you can't do as many tricks. But don't let that stop you, this is a really great game that is 1000 times better than Amped or Dark Summit combined. Buy SSX Tricky and see for yourself.

Original and innovative, this game really breaks the mold. It had me hooked playing it for hours on end. However, it does take about 15-30 minutes to get acquainted with the playing style and how to pull off the big tricks if you have never played such a game before. But that's it, you never have to relearn anything, and it's pure fun after that. This game had me more hooked than Max Payne and almost as much as Commandos 2:Men of Courage. The insane tricks are exciting to watch, and easy to pull off-requiring button combos, but not such hard ones as to make you sick of trying to nail the same one again and again. Most tricks only took me 3 tries at most. Another fun addition is the details of the world circuit mode. In world circuit, you make friends and enemys,depending on how much you knock them down in the level. This is a lot of fun because one, knocking someone down lets you immediately do one of your six big tricks or "uber tricks", and two, players will confront you after the race and talk trash. The player interaction like the trash talking before and after races adds even more fun and humor to the game. I seriously recommend buying this game, and at least renting it

When I went on the disney channel cruise ship and played this game in the game center I stunk but loved it. I loved it so much that I bought it when I got an Xbox. The graphics are some of the best for a snowboarding game I have ever seen. You cannot beat this game in graphics or TIGHTNESS!!!!!!!

The Sims, The Number 1 PC game of all time goes onto the Nintendo Game Cube!!! Sims are basicly people, except the are called sims. On the game, you create a sim, choose it's hair, clothing, personallity. Then you buy it a house. You choose all the furnishings They have hot tubs to Tiki-Man Dressers. Then you play it. You tell it what to do and when to do it.You can make them get a job, talk to neighbors, and even order a pizza. The sims are very much like humans. The can feel jealosey twards another sim, or they can even love another sims. You can have a family of sims and watch them interact with one another. The sims is an excellent Game and I reccomend it to anyone. Be sure to get the Sims for Nintendo Game cube, and Try The Sims for the computer too. It is a great game and I'm sure that you will enjoy it.

This is one quality game that will take anyone a long time to get bored with. Everyone in my family plays this game from my niece of nine years to my sister who hates video games of 31. A warning should be put on this game though, due to the fact that if you play it you will waste numerous hours of your life in front of the tv doing things for your sim that you should be doing for yourself (like going to the bathroom). All in all I would recommend this game to any of my friends.

I have been a fan of all "The Sims" products for a long time. I own every expansion pack there is and I was so excited to hear the game was coming out for Gamecube. However, there were a few things with the game I wasn't to pleased about. For one, the graphics are not impressive. Another thing is you can't zoom in as much as you'd like to. Also, the game is very challenging. The biggest problem I found is that it takes extreme patience to play this game because it takes a long time to achieve all the game's goals.
I don't usually buy games like "The Sims" for Gamecube. I like more adventure games like "Starfox Adventures"(which buy the way is AWESOME!) I'd say, if you're a fan of startegy games, a huge fan of "The Sims", and have A LOT of patience, go for it and buy this game. Patience is key for this game. It takes a long time to advance. I, having none what so ever, got bored very quick.

I enjoyed this game. Some missions were frustrating, but not half as much as some reviewers say-the tunnel missions in particular are not too long.
Some missions like defending the base from attackers are great fun, and while some characters are over the top the game manages to keep you going on for more. It is not too long either, a plus in my book.

This game is good, really good. I've had this game for a about a week it I'm hooked. I love the levels. The level I'm on now is my character being a tunnel rat (searching Vietcong tunnels). It scares the hell outta me. I shot the walls countless times now.
For the real review, the graphics are excellent, the sounds are very realistic, and the gameplay is is really good. It is like you signed up and got shipped over to Vietnam. The drill sergeant yells at you and insults you. All around it is a realistic non Doom, Quake, Unreal game fun tactics game.

Vietcong is a really fun and immersive game. I have to say I've never played a FPS that made me jump outta my seat as much as this game. I just finished it and I've played all the best, CoD, MoHAA, Ghost Recon, Raven Shield, SWAT3, etc...and I have to say VC is right up there with em. If ya wanna compare it to any other game, I would say its a blend of Ghost Recon, Operation Flashpoint, and Counterstrike. It really fun and addicting...if ya like war shooters with a slightly slower but tons of action, team based tempo, GET THIS GAME...not to mention, it's quite humorous...I'm looking forward to the expansion pack "Fist Alpha." this game would be a "perfect" 5 stars but there were a few bugs b4 the patches, like getting stuck in a few spots.

This is not Halo. If you want to run around and kill things, this is not the game for you. Deus Ex is game that requires planning, stealth and patience. Combat is often brief and deadly, unless you have positioned yourself to surprise your opponents.

The sound and graphics are very good, but many areas are dark. The Biomods which give you certain advantages in the game end up being of little use due to their high energy drain and a lack of energy cells (plus, unlike clips in the guns, the energy cells do not automatically load when they run out).

My biggest complaint has to be the combat. I don't mind combat being dangerous, but if they are going to make it that way, it should be true for both sides. When I sneek up behind a guard and pop him in the back of the head, that should be it. He shouldn't be spinning around and firing at me with his SMG. Other than that, I've been having a good time with the game.

Let me start with a short introduction.

I never played Ion Storm's original Deus Ex. Or to be more accurate, I didn't play enough of it to be able to make a worthwhile comparison. I read some previews of the new game, Deus Ex: Invisible War, and became really intrigued: it didn't sound like anything I'd played before. I began to wonder if I should play the original first. About this time, word starting spreading about changes made to the game design - changes that many fans of the first were very displeased with. Once hearing this, I decided I'd forego playing the first and dive into IW cold - I wanted to play the game for its own merits without judging it against its predecessor (no matter how superior the original game was touted to be). Since my home computer can't handle the PC version of the game, I played the Xbox version by default. As a result of this process, this may seem like a naive review, as I can't comment on anything regarding the previous game, but on the other hand, I am judging it on its own, without comparison.

Intro over.

It's very difficult to say anything specific about IW regarding the plot, because so much of the plot is tied directly to the actions and decisions of the player. But I can say that the game starts off with a bang. Almost immediately you are wondering whom to trust, which path to take, what items to use. The rules of the IW universe are explained at the beginning, but only in brief terms: for the large part, the player is left to fend for him/herself (you can choose Alex D's sex). The game manual is quick to point out that there are no "right" or "wrong" choices in IW - events unfold, doors are opened and closed, and the story changes depending on what Alex D decides. Should you side with Group 1, knowing it will anger Group 2? How will your decision affect the future? It's very rare that any game allows this kind of freedom to players, and at time it's almost overwhelming (especially at the beginning). But the further you progress, the more sense things make, the stronger your character's identity becomes, and you begin to appreciate more and more what Ion Storm has accomplished.

Alex D. is an agent who is able to be fitted with biomodification canisters, five in all, one for a specific region of the body. These "biomods" give Alex superhuman abilities, ranging from enhanced speed or strength to limited invisibility, among others. Illegal black-market biomods are particularly interesting. The biomods allow the player to tailor Alex to be a stealthy type of agent, a virtual "Terminator", or something in between. Adding to this customization is a range of equipment (firearms, swords, grenades, etc) which can also be upgraded to suit a particular style of play. This system is brilliant because in the world of IW, nothing is straight-forward - there are many ways to pass obstacles. Alex D. can charge into a heavily guarded room with guns blazing, sneak through air shafts, or hack into a security system and cause automated turrets to fire upon "friendlies." And these are just a few of the many options. You never feel forced to take any single path in IW - an amazing feat, especially when you consider the depth of the story - and experimentation is often rewarded.

IW may seem shorter than most RPGs, but you must remember that this game is almost designed to be replayed. You can reach any one of several endings in almost countless ways.

Invisible War is a beautiful game. No, it doesn't run at a particularly high frame-rate, but the environments are so detailed and so interactive, it's a small price to pay - you'll cease to notice it unless you're really making an effort to look for it. The vaunted Havok physics engine can be pretty silly, but it makes the world that much more immersive and allows for a lot of creativity on the part of the player. The lighting is 100% real-time, and is probably the best to be seen to date. Player models are convincing - not perfect, perhaps, but they get the job done very well. All told, the IW engine performs very well. The fact that it can look as good as it does while allowing for so much in-game experimentation is quite an achievement.

Sound-wise, there's little to complain about. There's a lot of voice-acting in IW, and while not Pixar-caliber, it does a fine job of maintaining the immersion. Elevator music plays in elevators, conversations can be heard everywhere, and a nice, dark, ambient soundtrack adds to the mood. Weapons and manipulated items all fit in perfectly.

So there's a newbie's take. Playing IW was some of the most fun I've had in the interactive media, mostly due to the high level of freedom the player is presented with. Is it a perfect game? No - but honestly, what is? I wasn't quite sure what to expect going in, but I came away with the strong conclusion that Deus Ex: Invisible War is not only a masterfully crafted game. It's a personalized experience. It's not only one of the best game's I've played this year, it's one of the best I've ever played.

Now to track down the original. Can it possibly live up to Invisible War?? I can't wait to find out.

Deus Ex: Invisible War came out last year(2003), and it was one of the best games of last year. Its an open ended delight. This is not an action game. Sure, there are guns in it, but its an RPG at heart. The great thing about this awesome game is that you dont have to do something one way like a Final Fantasy game. You can complete thing mutiple ways. It feels like you're creating the experiance instead of it feeling like a "just there" type of thing. There are multiple endings, and no, I wont spoil anything. I also found some rather interesting secrets, and the more you play this, the more new things you will probably find out. The only real fault is sometimes not so great computer A.I. and a dissapointing frame rate. Dont expect the prettiest game ever, though its not really ugly(the graphics are like a 3.7/5). I dont think the PC version of the same title is as good though, because there were alot of bugs I heard of in the home personal computer version that I didnt find in the Xbox version. I would say to get the Xbox version if you get the choice. Get this game, its quality gaming, and even a breath of fresh air in some ways.

Well i really like this game and i you will too. It won't matter if you like racing games or not. There are some things i should tell before u buy it though. First: the graphics are 9/10,not bad but their better on the ps2. Second:The selection of cars is great,if you know a lot about cars you'll be pleased to know that the knew gto is in it. It is not called to gto, it is the car gm used for the body and things like that. In the game it's called to hsv coupe.so look for that. Third:The controls are also 9/10 because at high speeds the cars swerve off the road, if u like realism that might not bother you. Fourtly:I love the music it really get's you into the mood of driving fast. Fifthly:There are plenty of things to do on this game.Example if you are bored of being chased by cops you can go in single mode and be a cop yourself with a variety of cool cop cars like lamborghinis, viper, porsche, and a couple of ford cars. Also you can verse a friend, it is too bad that u can't have 4 people race at once, but all the same it's still good. The championship mode is really cool to because there's no cops and u have lot's of different races to keep you occupied. I personally have troubles with the time trials. So all in all this game is good some of the graphics can be a little messed up at times, but since u can pick this game up for $... it's a good buy. Rent it first if you can and see for yourself. Like I said even if you like games like bond, or madden you'll have a good time playing this game. I hope this review will help you in your descision to buy this game. Thanks for taking your time and reading this!

This is one of the best NFS games so far ever since Porsche Unleashed when it comes to graphics. Nothing to say the cars are cool, but you find it difficult to reach speeds of over 200+ mph. There is plenty of staright but to me the cars takes their time to reach higher speeds execpt the last 6 cars but don't get mad because the games states that the Mclaren F1 goes over 240 Mph but the maxinm I push it was 196Mph both versions of this car.But if you are good try manual transmission with NFS Edition of the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR. The tracks are okay but what I miss is the weather options that would the racing better instead of clear skies. Not enough courses to really test speed like Porsche Unleashed had. Just like Porsche Unleashed the traffic cars look cheap and small and when you hit them you get damage and they don't. No upgrades option like the previous games to make the cars go faster. The pursuit mode are intense sometimes the cops will try anything to take you down so pay close attention to what they say because sometimes they will switch their actions and your busted! I would give this game 5 stars but when EA games decides to put back the weather and upgraded options then the next game would get 5 stars

i don't know what it's like on game cube, but it's awsome on ps2. i spent months in tech school playing this game every saturday. the soundtrack is perfect for the game and the game racing is extreme. buy it, you wont be let down...

This game is very fun, but in some levels you can`t figure out what to do like finding the super smash, to find it when you race the light in lighthouse frighthouse, when you raced it to the top and finished. Then smash the light with the helmet and you will find the super smash that power makes the game more exiting. In this game there are classic Scooby Doo villens like the creeper, the ghost, the scarecrow, the headless specter, ghost of captain moody, the zombie, witch, the ghostdiver,tar monster, witch doctor, ghost of geranimo, caveman, the gargoyle, the warewolf, the spacecook, funland robot and sea creature. There are also boss villens like the black knight,the green ghost,ghost of redbeard and the worst villen of the game the mastermind. Also small enemys like rats, spiders, bats, crabs and flying fish. There are 3 areas, each area has huge levels. The first area is the mystic manor its levels are the 1 the haunted house,2 belconies,3 rooftops,4 secret passegess,5 basement,6 labs and the second area is the haunted hedge maze. Its levels are 1 hedge maze,2 sea cliffs,3 graveyard and the third area is smugglers cove its levels are 1 fishing villege,2 lighthouse,3 shipwrecks,total 12 huge levels!.And there are traps for Scooby Doo like poison spitting plants, spiny hedges, arrow shooting and fire breathing statues, slippery and sticky surfeses, deep water and chasms, elecricity and fire. I will tell you what the powerups do... shovel allows you to dig, springs make you jump higher, helmet lets you bash monsters or boxes, bunny slippers and lampshade allows you to sneak pest monsters, the black knight armor allows you to fool monsters, super smash lets you smash monsters or bash switches, the plunger allows you to walk on slippery surfaces, the galoshes allow you to walk on stiky surfaces, the bubble blower lets you trap monsters in a soup bubble, bubble gum gets monsters caght in ther tracks and the umbrella allows you to glide long distances and be carried by wind. YOU collect scooby snacks and monster tokens.ITS THE GRATEST GAME fOR PLAYSTATION2!!! I highly reccommend this game to any Scooby fan.

it is annoying to me, and the ending was a bomb, I wouldn't recomend anyone to buy this game

My 4-year-old, who is already the world's biggest Scooby-Doo fan, gives this a hearty thumbs-up. It's a fun game for both father and son. The action's pretty good, a standard platformer, nothing innovative, but not a bad one either. The greatest part is the faithfulness to the source material. It's a real Saturday morning nostalgia blast for '70s kids with the real voices of the actors, very expressive animation and the villains from the show's original run. There's even a cameo appearance from Don Knotts as the groundskeeper! And the best part? No Scrappy Doo. Not even Scooby Dum -- unless there's a Gameshark cheat I don't know about. :) Anyway, lots of fun for little ones, probably a little hard without some grown-up help, but not that tough. Doesn't appear to be too huge, but there is probably some replayability for Scooby fans young and old.

Who dosen't love Bond? The guns, the action, the suspense, and the fancy tux and the cars. It all adds up to an awesome video game. Many have been made about the Bond series, but this is the newest. In the game you play, James Bond 007 agent in his new set of adventures that range from infiltrating a castle, protecting a French agent in Paris, destroying missles in outer space, and driving an underwater submarince.

The game is mad fun for the 1-player mode. You see the screen as if out of your eyes, meaning you don't see yourself- only the view in front of you. This style of play allows an awesome shooting game. Throughout the levels, you must stop Drake and his men from their evil plots, which means ALOT of gun action and suspense. It is a very fun and non-stop action.

This game has excellent graphics, the music is awesome, and the "suspense music" allows thrilling fights to be amplified. The sounds of the guns and the effects are just amazing. Mostly the game is very fun to play. Shooting with the many guns experienced are just fun. The vairety of guns are amazing from the Sniper Rifle, to the Grenades, the tribombs and mines, to the pistols, to my favorite: the rocket launcher. The game is one of the best in the action.

The coolest thing about Nightfire is the multi-player action. There is just so much to do. Various modes include the Death Match, Team Arena, King Of The Hill, Assasination, and much more. There are awesome gameplay options that allow mini-vecihles: helicopters and tanks, and there are plenty of other options. You can choose the types of guns in each level or make them completly random. You can customize computer opponents, and play on various stages.

Nightfire is an excellent game, and I certaintly reccomend it to any action-shooting game fans. Bond rules, and so does this awesome video game.

This is the first Bond game that is actually better than Goldeneye. It has it all! The graphics are extremely well-done, the sounds are amazing, the music is also well done with the famous bond-theme and other bond-like tracks. There are many weapons to collect, choose from, and fire at enemies!

Graphics: 5 out of 5

The graphics in this game are superb. The models look exactly like the actors and actresses (except for Q, I don't know what they did with him). The weapons are astounding! You get BOTH a PP7 AND PPK! Awsome!

Sound: 5 out of 5

The weapon sounds are awsome, the soundtracks are even better! The only problem is that bond's voice doesn't sound ;like bond, but it's not that bad. The other sounds make up for that.

Multi-player: 5 out of 5

Multiplayer is awsome. You get many many many game types to choose from. You also get many James Bond Characters to choose from, such as:

Bond (obviously)
Goldfinger
Scaramanga
Nick Nack
Oddjob
Pussie Galore
Renard

Electra King
Christmas Jones
Jaws
Baron Samedai
Wai Lin
Max Zorin

and more! You also get classic bond places to choose from such as:

Fort Knox (from Goldfinger)
Atlantis (from The Spy who Loved me)
Missile silo (from The World is not enough)
Submarine (from The World is not Enough)

and more!

Lengthetivity: 4 out of 5

Although you will be playing this game for months, the single-player isn't that long.

Fun Factor: 5 out of 5

The best bond game ever.

So, buy this game if you are a bond fan! My only complaint is that you don't get the Soviet AK-47, like in all other bonds (especially goldeneye), but the superb weapon designs and sounds make up for it. Buy now!

This game is a lot of fun in multiplayer mode. you can just play with the bots or have your friends play with you or against you in addition to the bots. good replay value.

I downloaded the demo version on my PC. It doesn't even let you play it. You have to watch the computer play a boring game--with no action. The sounds and features are NOT exciting. I'd rather play Techmo Bowl from Nintendo. I have a mouse and keyboard, so I don't even know how I would play this game. There were no instructions, and all the "features" were "not available in demo mode." So what, I have to buy it for $20 to see if I like it? EA Sports is a large, rich company that can afford to let us play the game before buying--after all, they did with MVP Baseball. Until someone proves me otherwise, and until I shell-out money for a decent USB-joystick, I say THIS GAME SUCKS!!!

This year's Madden 2004 is probably one of the best football games out there today. Some of the cool features are the Playmaker Control...Of course you will need a good gamepad, I have heard that some of those controllers may not work for this game. Another is the new owner mode, I seems as if Madden 2004 is becoming into a Madden Tycoon game. This feature lets you be the owner of the francise and set prices and own your team. Make sure you win and fan support will still be there. But if you don't want to deal with the business of football, you can turn the owner mode off and the game turns back into the orginal francise mode. Francise mode is deep, this years edition include pratice squads where you can pratice your players on the field and their ratings go up for the next game. This years edition takes a lot of space and most likely a new video card...be ready to upgrade.

The problems that have lagged this game are the gameplay mechanics. Problems include late game heroics where you could have a lead and the CPU cheats to win on the Madden diffuculity. You could have a lead against the LIONS 21 to 0 and the game cheats at the end to make the lion win. Very frustrating. Configuring your controller can take days to record and memorize them all and they should simplify this because no one has time to remember these all.

Graphics A-
Owner mode A
Playmaker Control A-

Gameplay C+

Overall Madden gets a B+
I still recommend this game because on the PC resources are limited... still a terrific game

I truly enjoyed Madden 2004. I am patiently waiting for the 2005, but I have had a ball the last year playing this game. The control you have over players and even the plays make for some fun filled hours. I strongly suggest that anyone who has not tried it to give it a go, the price is right and you will be ready for some football!!

For any fan of the comic book or the movies this is a great experience on the Xbox. There are a good amount of positives about the game that make you want to play it but there are too many negatives about the game that don't make you want to buy it. One of the bright aspects of this game is how it molds the story into the movie and throws some comic book story in the middle of it. For some missions you are teamed up with Black Cat. You take on Doc Ock, Shocker, and Mysterio and for the most part the boss battles are the best parts about the game. Another positive thing about the game is your web slinging is more than just pressing a button and you stick to the sky and swing forward. You have to attach to buildings and things like height and the angle you fling your web at reflect how you swing. At first this is extremely frustrated for even the biggest gamer but by the end the control you have makes you just want to swing a jump through New York forever. Now comes the negatives and what makes this a lackluster title. I never felt challenged at all in this game. There was one part where you have to swing out to the statue of liberty to fight mysterio and that was the toughest part of the game. If I wasn't a Spiderman fan I probably wouldn't have liked this game very much but being Spiderman makes it fun. I finished the game in about 5-6 hours of playing time. If you are a decent gamer you could finish this in a Saturday of playing the game. This is the one reason that this game is a solid rental. Whenever you are not fighting the marquee villians you beat up thugs along the way by talking to people and they give you missions. There are really only 5 missions but they just keep happening in different places you'll see what I mean when you play the game. I actually liked this game but it needed to be a little harder and a little longer and the side missions needed a little more variety.

This game is absolutly huge...the city is giant and you can travel across it with no loading times...the swinging system is new and definetly improved. There's nothing like the feeling of free falling off the empire state building and catching yourself at the very last second. The grafics are great, excluing the character models. The fighting is quite fun, you can web up a guy fling em around your head, which nocks everyone around you away, then hang the guy from a lightpost...i mean come on, that's just fricken awsome...the only down thing is the missions get a bit repetitive. but you can spice em up by using different methods, different attacks...this game has ALOT of substance, it will keep you busy till fable and halo 2, so buy this game and have some fun!

this game was spectacular a must buy much better then the first with many improvements anyone who syas its too short needs to stop wasting so much time playing and get a life

PROS:

1. GOOD FIGHT ANIMATIONS-really captures Indy's wild, drunken fighting style. I also loved how Indy's hat would fall off after he would get punched many times.
2. GOOD CHOICE OF WEAPONS-a nice touch is the ability to use weapons dropped from your enemies.
3. MUSIC-John Williams' classic score is integrated well during key points of action.

CONS:

1. MEDIOCRE GRAPHICS-the textures are muddy. So much so that I had to increase the sharpness level of my TV just to make sure it wasn't causing the problem. Again, XBox owners get leftovers from a PS2 ported game.
2. HORRID FRAME RATE-the game stutters all over the place when there are more than two enemies on the screen at once.
3. HORRID COLLISION DETECTION-Indy and enemies will magically teleport through walls and floors
4. BLOCKY PLAYER MOVEMENT-despite the good fighting animations, Indy's movements tend to skip a few frames.
5. UNINSPIRED CUT SCENES USING IN-GAME GRAPHICS-the cut scenes would have been negligible had the graphics engine been more than decent. Whatever happened to CGI, movie-quality cut scenes?
6. RIGID VOICE ACTING-the actor playing Indy sounds exactly like Harrison Ford's tired drawl. However, he also sounds like he's reading the script rather than acting it out. The same goes for the other voice actors.
7. REPETITIOUS LEVEL DESIGN-there's too much emphasis on jumping from ledge to ledge and swimming.
8. BUGS, BUGS, BUGS, I HATE BUGS!-the game tends to freeze every once in awhile which is inexcusable. Lucasarts' quality assurance department should be fired.

*1/2 OUT OF ****

actually a suprise that I rented the game, thanks to Xbox magazine and the demo i played on the disk, I had no doubts when i rented this game.

Pros: 1. It's Indiana Jones! AGAIN!

2. a mass array of weapons to choose from

3. fight Chinese, Turks, and, of course, NAZIS!

4. a good problem solving game

5. an Indiana Jones type of plot

6. superb acting

7. Suprisingly addictive

8. and yes, an excellent music score

Cons: 1. Save Points poorly placed

2. killing people can be tedious later in the game (dont even think about killing people with the whip.)

3. Challenges can be confusing to younger gamers.

Final Verdict: I order you to rent this game! Avid fans, casual fans, or people who dont even know who played Indy Jones in the movies will be entertianed. if an Indy addict or an archaeologist, Buy it Immediately!

This is a fantastic game. I'm not what most would call a "gamer" - I play maybe an hour or two a week - so maybe I'm looking at it differently than some other reviewers, but isn't it SUPPOSED to be hard? What's the point of an easy game? You want easy? Go play Candyland. This game is tough. It's got dozens of scenarios, villains, traps, etc, just like the movies do.
The graphics are stunning, the sound is terrific...all in all, a great game!
