Advantages: Partially entertaining Disadvantages: a bit far fetched and sometimes dull
honest, no one tried to add a motorboat to the list of super hero vehicles, (apart from an episode of the Simpson, which doesn't really count)
Street hawk seemed to come out in the middle of the other more popular tv series of the same type and so never really caught on?lasting only five months? maybe because of the pretty tame challenges that the man on the scooter had to over come? but in reality the show was quite entertaining and not too over the top? unless you count a motorbike jumping out of some warehouse doors every time a case came up as over the top?
The all round acting was nothing special, although Rex Smith plays the part of the heroic motorcyclist who just want to ride his precious super machine, even if he comes across as a little wooden at times? a little like Mr Bean dresses up and joins the Hells Angels for a bit ...

Advantages: Great 4-way multiplayer quality, for a platformer Disadvantages: A lot of recycled or uninspired material

I find the true story behind every Super Mario platformer is one of surreality & escapism. It's about being transported into a completely nonsensical world, one filled ...
Advantages: Great team playing ability Disadvantages: None as of yet.
This game is a timeless classic which has constantly been revised to keep it going.
The New Super Mario Bros. Wii has captured all the quality of previous Mario Bros. It captures the sheer simple pleasure of running and jumping; all can be done easily with a d-pad and two buttons. The game play takes a little getting used to but once mastered its great fun.
There is also the ability to share it with up to three pals. The first time a Mario game has offered proper co-op play.
Keeping the play confined lends the game a more studious approach. What would be a comfortable dash with one player takes on a new light with extra players, encouraging you to work together and carefully negotiate each obstacle to keep your team?s life stock up.
