Pro Evolution FOOTBALL!!

Advantages: Football, easy controls, good gameplay
Disadvantages: Some teams haven't got licences to use player names

The makers of the best football game series of all time, including their early editions of International Superstar Soccer for the SNES and PS1, send out yet another fantastic re-hashing of the beautiful game. They've ironed out a few of the bugs, such as the constant fouls for handball when doing a slide challenge, that were an annoyance in PES3... however these have been replaced by irritating fouls for having the gall to run past an opponent to ...
...to choose from is a definate plus, with all the teams represented at the last World Cup plus a few more European sides in there, a total of 57 National teams - with the ability to add the "classic" World Cup sides of Brazil 70, Holland 78 and France 82. As well as the international teams, there are also the club sides of Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Holland and England, with a few of the other top teams such as the O** F***, Sparta Prague and Dinamo ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Xbox)

Fifa 05

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Slow gameplay

...soccer series (PES). However this FIFA 2005 was very good, especially with the new Career mode, which could almost match Pro Evolution master league. The biggest advantage that FIFA 05 has over Pro Evolution 4, is that FIFA has all the licences for all the most famous players, leagues, and clubs, whereas in Pro Evolution 4, they do not have all the licenses for all clubs, leagues and players. The game play of FIFA 05 is much better than it has been ...
...create your own tournament. So FIFA 05 is improving a lot, fun wise, even if it only improving slowly. Now to go into the manager mode a little bit more. The career mode has improved a significant amount. Instead of the career mode only going for a very small five seasons, this time the career lasts an amazing 15 seasons. Also the leagues you can join are divided up into regions. For example the Scottish premier league and all the English premier ...

Review of FIFA 2005 (Xbox)

Lets have a brawl

Advantages: Boxing!, fun, multiplayer, much more depth than the previous game
Disadvantages: Dated, terrible judging, most fights end by early ko, hayemakers devalue the fights

...I’d had previously completed Fight Night 2004 (well won the belt and made about 10 defences) before realising the game had no replay value on single player mode, so I needed something new. I tried Rocky Legends which I totally loved, amazing game, with lots of depth and the Rocky license what more could you ask for? Well even with the Rocky game in my library I still needed my boxing fix, so whilst looking around Gamestation before last Christmas ...
...difference was the introduction in Fight Night 2004 of a revolutionary control method called Total Punch Control, which saw punches no longer thrown with the typical face buttons on the control, but instead thrown with the spare analogue stick on the control (right stick) which allowed you to throw jabs, hooks and uppercuts with relative ease. Although the system was relatively raw (and by Round 2 it still wasn’t fully intuitive) it was easy and ...

Review of Fight Night Round 2 (Xbox)

Oven passes to Bickham!!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...am I plumped for the UEFA Euro 2004 game released in May 2004 - I sadly paid full price - £34.99 and shudder ever time I think of how many decent pre-owned games I could have bought instead - in a nutshell this game is bobbins - quite possibly one of the worst ever released on the X-Box and the worst football game known to man. The basics of the game are that you take control of one of the teams who qualified to play in Euro 2004 and using the same ...
...full European Championship - play one on one games against the teams available or have practice matches to improve your skills - I would strongly recommend the practice mode as a first port of call as the AI is simply ridiculously hard to beat even when you match England or France against teams such as Latvia. The controls are easy to master but the players controlled by the computer are way faster and never seem to miss a tackle. When programming ...

Cheap Thrills

Advantages: Hard to complete - if you get into it, it will last you ages
Disadvantages: Its hard to complete - you won't get into it and it will last 2 hours

Amped is a Snowboarding game, now in its third incarnation. Now this is a good thing to know as poor games rarely get a sequel - this has had two later versions. But having been made curious, I was unwilling to pay the £40 for the newest version without checking that I liked the general gist of the game. So I found the original Amped in a second hand section of Game and thought I would give it a whirl. At only £5, what could I lose? THE STORYLINE: ...
...various tricks as you go down a snowy mountain. Your aim is to become the most famous snowboarder ever, leaving you with massive sponsorship deals and a wide media coverage. On the way you will have to perform certain tricks in front of sponsors, complete audacious jumps and meet various scoring targets on each mountain. THE GAMEPLAY: This game is basically designed for single player use. With this in mind, I started the Career mode and threw myself ...
