BAJA: Edge of Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first have to start off by addressing those that have complained about the controls and handling on this game. These gamers obviously have no clue what happens to a truck, suv, or 4x4's on the rough off road terrain. The creators did an excellent job on taking real life events, and tranferring it to the next-gen video games. The handling and controls represent also exactly what would happen to a truck racing at those speeds over uneven terrain. So honestly, it you really aren't into four wheeling, or off roading, then you wont appreciate this game at all... That's like me purchasing a WWE video game when I'm not into wrestling at all, and then post a bad review on the moves!

Any dirt riding junkie will apprecite this game for what it is, the graphics aren't the best that we've seen on a racing game, but you can't put the bar too high for THQ. However, that isn't stating that the graphics are bad neither, I am very statisfied with the games presentation and physics. They have a wide range of trucks, and 4x4's to choose from, and they did a wonderful job in creating the enviroments.

Being that the game is a hard item to pick up used at any gamestop, I definitely recommend buying this new, it's something you wont regret, but only if you truly understand off roading. Those that complain about the controls and handling, and wine about how hard it is to finish a race or stay on the road. Stick to the pavement stable boys! Leave the hard tarrain of dirt, mud, hills, and jumps to those that know what to do with it.

Baja Racing: Edge of control is not wasted money for the off road fan!

NFL Tour Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, I would like to point out that although this game was deveoloped by the same people that made the street series, it is in no way the same.I know I loved playing the Street series becuase of many things, some of them were the depth of the games, the background music throughout the gameplay, the wall moves, and I just thought they were overall fun games to play.NFL Tour is not anything like this.I will admit it is somewhat enjoyable the first two hours or so of gameplay.The annoncing is kind of cool with his shouts of "Pwned" and "The Bears were who we thought they were", and "Don't you get tired of video game announcers that say the same thing over and over?".Some of his announcing is funny, although it gets annoying after hearing the same things over and over, especially when he is doing what he talks about (Saying the same thing over and over).

Another thing I didn't like about this game is it has no depth at all.I know Street 2 and 3 had tons of things to do and it made the game a much better value and so much more enjoyable.This game is nowhere near that.It has one game mode where all you do is play the NFL different ways such as first to 24 and timed games.The amount of depth was really disappointing compared to the older Street series.

Don't even get me started on the defense.Defense plays no role in this game at all.I'm convinced that when you are on defense, it's impossible to tackle the computer with the first guy.It always takes at least two.It get's really annoying when no defense is involved at all, at it's just a scoring fest.

Another thing that screwed this game over was the "simplified controls" I don't want a game where on offense you really only need one or two buttons.It makes it that much harder for the computer to know what your doing when A controls 2 or 3 different things depending on the situation.It really gets annoying.

On the Pros side this game is a fun game to pick up and play for a while.If you are getting this based on NFL Street, you will be highly disappointed.Casual gamers will probably get bored with this game within two or three weeks.I don't totaly hate this game, But it has a lot of faults and was not up to the NFL Street standards.Also, the achievements are pretty easy as I picked up 450 within my first day of gameplay.I guess I would suggest this game to anyone who is looking for easy gamerscore, as most of the achievements on the game are not very challenging, although they may look it.

Pros:
Easy to learn buttons
Announcer is entertaining for first two hours
Fun football game if you don't already own any
Easy achievements

Cons:
Horrible controls for advanced gamers
Announcing gets annoying after first two hours
Nowhere near as good as the Street Series
No Defense involved
No Depth for single player whatsoever

All-in-all, I'd have to give this game about a 6 out of 10.I wouldn't really recommend it unless you are a die-hard Street fan.And even then, you might be a little disappointed.I would suggest renting it for a week, and then you will probably be done with it for ever.
