Sports Reviews

After being skunked by disappointing titles like Surfriders and Surfing H3O, Championship Surfer's wave generator will stoke you. But, the graphics will not. This is no Tony Hawk 2 shred heads. The textures are in low res and look pretty hairy. But,the wave physics are hot and the closest you'll get to the real thing right now. Trust me, you will get barreled on every wave, although you do not score that many points for riding the tube. Pet Peeve; the pro-contest structure is annoying and will leave you yearning for a free surf. It's funny how art imitates life. Warning: after three heats there is a lame**s trophy ceremony that takes a long time to load. But,be sure to check out the hotties on stage with the surfers, they are slammin'. To sum it up, it's pretty cool surfing as Cory Lopez, Ratboy, and Beschen. Scrub it Kooks. It's 6 feet and offshore in your Sega Console every day! Get it NOW!

This game was even better than I expected it to be. It's easy to get a grasp of the controls but pretty challenging. You have a choice of some awesome O'Niell sponsored surfers, each with their own highlights movie you can watch. The beaches are solid and the weather controls really give you a chance to differ your environment. Good graphics are accompanied by a huge variety of camera angles so you can control the surfer from afar or see through the surfer's eyes for a more intense approach to a wave. You'll like this game if you like sports challenge games. Also, you can play with up to 3 other people so can rip on your buddies.

One of the best video games I have ever played! Anyone who surfs should get this game for when the waves are small. You may never paddle out again. Good for all you Kooks as well!

here's an initial warning: this game isn't going to be everyone's thing. no game is, right? however, i loved this game. espn winter x-games snowboarding 2002 (quite a title, eh???) consists of, for starters, x-games mode in which you play thru the x-games as any one of 13 pro snowboarders. there are 4 x-games events to play (per character) and 2 freeride tracks to mess around on.

also included is the amazing snowboarder mode. in this section, you custom create a snowboarder, name him/her, and build a pro snowboarding career up from scratch. i mean from NOTHING. in the beginning, all your skills (yep, stat points!!!) .... it can be a little frustrating the first few contests or free runs as you try to snowboard, but this is just like real life; it takes a while to get the hang of it. each run increases your stats a little. in no time, you'll go from 180's to 720's to, yes, 2880's. that's 8 full spins. you can earn huge amounts of secret gear and buy ten times more. you get fame as well as film deals, sponsorships, passports, nicknames, and eventually an invitation to the x-games.

other features include multiplayer (sorry, i haven't played this yet), dozens of short snowboard videos, and a tutorial (very helpful to learn how to spin extra times, etc). snowboarder mode has improved GREATLY since the first game (with the cheesy orange cartoon ski lodge), as has the soundtrack (vandals, powerman 5000, etc). not the best game i've ever played, but certainly realistic, fun, extensive, and the sound (music/sound effects) and graphics are outstanding.

Anyone who has ever snowboarded will be dumbstruck of how real this game is. It is not like ssx, still a real fun game, where you do loops on platic ramps or snowboard in hawaii around volcanos. This is so far the only game that allows you to create a snowboarder. At first it can be really hard and frustrating but it is still really cool. Has all the reall pros and snowboard brands. For the price it is the best.

This is truly the best PS2 snowboarding game! It is way more realistic than SSX Tricky. You can't pull off mega flips like SSX, but that is a good thing. The graphics are good, and it is fast with no slowdown. The music is good too. Including such bands as Powerman 5000, Static-X, The Vandals, and AFI. My only complaint about this game is that grinding is so easy, thanks to Konami trying to appeal to the SSX fans. Forget SSX, BUY THIS GAME!!!!

This game rocks the house whit it parting baby! Its so fun i brought it to skool with me so no one could steal it at my house! I am soo happy i got it! if you dont buy it your a loser and has no taste in video games! All critics are cynicall so dont listen to them and just ignore them! THEY EVEN THOUGHT BUCK BUMBLE WAS BETTER THAN ZELDA ONCE! SO BUY THIS GAME OR YOU STINK!

It is a very fun game. But it takes a very long time to get used to. It mainly uses the "A" "B" and "Z" buttons. I think that you need a lot of things to play it. Like exspansion pack, rumble pack and something else I can not think of right now. It is stupid that you need to win medals in every event just so you can get, breaststroke, triple jump, shooting, and the vault. But other wise it is a very fun game with very good graphincs and easy controls but I is hard so remember if you are a Nintendo 64 beginner I do not recommend it but if you are experienced I highly highly recomend it.Thanks SAL

International Track and Field 2000 is one of the best games that Konami has made! The graphics are very good, and the events are very realistic. It's also not one of the sports games that you do for three or four hours and then beat. This one takes a while, but unlike some, it's fun and time-consuming. You should definately get this game. Just one note that you might want to know. To unlock the other events (Triple Jump, Vault, Breaststroke, and Skeet Shooting) you have to get all medals in the other events in trial mode.

I have managed to get a chance to play Madden NFL 2005 and all I
can say is WOW! They have improved the graphics and gameplay to
make it more realistic. Its improved owner mode will make football
rage with joy. The new owner mode will allow you to make new and
better stadiums. You'll be able to keep players but your cap room
won't go down as much. And greatest thing is you actually have
to play like an all-star to score, which you're scores won't
be 80 poitns to 70. From what it looks like, the Madden NFL series will be the top sporting game once agian.

Actually they have Ray Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens on the cover this year, since, you know, he's the best player in the league instead of some washed up old QB. But Im sure that this game is going to be 100 times better than last year, and last year's game was incredible. Im going to be the first one here to get it.

Madden's back with more options more plays and a very expansive owner mode more contract options, better stadium building and more realistic play. Graphics alone make it worth while. This year they put a true star on the cover with Brett Favre reigning supreme as the best QB around. This game top to bottom the best madden ever.

MY COUSIN GOT THIS GAME AND IT IS THE BOMB,THE GRAPHICS ARE INCREDIBLE AND THE GAMPLAY IS AWSOME.

THIS IS AN AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i sure hope that every fan of racing and motorcycle rading gets this game!!! i got it on []like 2 days agoa dn its so fun!!! i just really really really hope that everyone will buy this fun and exciting game!!! so have fun people who buy it!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok then bye!!!!

Moto racer Advance for the GBA is is a deep well rounded racing game . It has 3 types of motorcycle racing GP , Motocross and traffic . It works great on the GBA SP with the controls being ez to use . The graphis are good considering the screen size and the sense of speed is excellent . You can play it for 10 minutes at a time to complete a set of races or keep on going as long as you want.

good but not great,but it does have hillerios characters

I like this game because it's nice to play. I like hearing the trainers as they shout out some helpful tips during the bout. I also like playing two player, because I can play against a friend. I highly recommend this game along with the game of Contender to future fans of Boxing.

This game I gave 5 stars because it has a lot of potential it is a prety cool game but the graphics are not the best but they are prety good. There is a multiple choise of characters. They are good and bad characters and some are in between. I think this game eavry body should have in their video colection.

Well i think that u should stick with the normal controller cuz this one seems alittle big and thick for the people with small hands but if u have huge hands i say u should buy this controller!

I have been a PSone lover for some time now, and I still am, with my trusty PSone sitting on the shelf above my jungle N64. I have only recently changed to N64 and the main reason was because of the darned original controller whith 3 HANDLES!!!
Why would a controller have 3 handles when most humans have only 2 hands??? You could'nt use the L button, needed in great games like FZERO (although Wipeout for PSone is better) while you were using the stick, and the left pad is never used!

Hail the unofficial controller makers. This controller only has one big stick in the middle with 2 stubs on either side, so I can easily move my hand up to the left stub to access the L and ^V<> buttons with ease. It also has a nice fat grip on it so the controller dosen't suddenly slip out of your hands when you have been perspiring using a rumble pak. It says EA sports on it, but for a third of the price (quarter here in Australia) of an original controller, it's a legendary buy.

I'll tell ya why I say that... the great rubber tacky grip on the controller. There are so many similar models of this controller but this one is best once you get used to its shape in your hand. I haven't even had one problem with it yet. SERIOUSLY!

"PETER JACOBSEN'S GOLDEN TEE GOLF" ISN'T PROBABLY THE GOOD GAME AS TIGER WOODS (NEVER PLAYED), BUT HAS SOME GOOD POINTS AND UNFORTUNATELY BAD ONES TOO. HORRIBLE SOUND - JAMMING MOST OF THE TIME. ONLY 3 COURSES TO PLAY. GOOD COMMENTS FROM JACOBSEN - HOWEVER LIMITED TO ABOUT 5. OPTIONS TO PLAY BY USING MODEM, INTERNET. THE CD-ROM ALSO INCLUDES 3 OR 4 SHORT MOVIES-COMMERCIALS ABOUT PRODUCTS LIKE GOLF VIDEO, GOLF CD - INCLUDING ALICE COOPER; TRIED TO GET IT, BUT COULDN'T. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU CAN BUY IT, BUT IT'S GETTING BORING VERY FAST.

What can i say, a well layed out game, superb realness and the option to play over the internet, against your frineds through a LAN connection, and all this over three courses. this game is a must get for any simulated golf addict. Peter Jacobsons Golden Tee Golf is exellent. 5 out of 5.

golden tee golf is very challenging on line, and very fun, enjoy to play with players around the globe.. it takes a while to learn the moves, but when you do, you can master the coarses and challenge the best from around the globe... it is also enjoyable to interact with the players while playing online, learn a few tips if they are willing to give them... it in all is a fun game to play on line... i recommend to practice before taking on the big guys,,,,, good luck and see you on the coarse

This game is okay! Madden 2000 is way better though. In madden 98 you can pick one of twenty eight football teams and pass and run until you get a touchdown and beat your opponent.

I thought that this was one of the greatest games ever made in the Madden series. I enjoyed the gameplay very much. Being 15 years old, I normally lose interest in games within a few months. However, here it is 2001, and I still love playing this game. It's been over four years!!!!!Hope you enjoy it!!

I'm a fifteen year old young man, and most of the time, I get bored with video games. But this game I never got bored with. I just was dumb, and I sold this game once, then bought it again. Then I sold it again, and I haven't been able to find it, thank goodness for Amazon.com. You think I would've learned my lesson, but I just can't wait untill my copy arrives. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did/do.

Today I just rented Matt Hoffman Pro BMX2, and boy was I stupid. That game stunck with a capital S! I mean you most Activision games like Street Hoops or Spider Man the Movie are great, but this one is a disgrace. You'd also think, that if the first is great, thta the second would be a(n) bigger improvement- Not all the time. It's so hard that I can't even pass the first level. I fall all the time, and my person is just as bloody as can be. If there are some cheat codes or something, maybe it might be a lot better, but... I HATE IT!!! And "HATE", is a strong word. If I were you, I'd remove this game from your X-Mas list. Get Tony Hawk Underground. I heard it rules all! Toodaloo!

I like this game a lot because when I went to my friends house he rented this game.He said I like this game and now its his birthday.My mom said no i cant get the game for him.
