Fifa 07 plays well

EA's Fifa Soccer 07 has so much to offer. A great soundtrack. Hundreds of teams from everywhere you imagine. It offers a deep and fun career mode where you control things from the team to ticket prices. However the gameplay is good but could have been better. At times the controls feel clumsy. For example to dribble at top speeds you have to use 3 buttons. The trick stick is a good addition but some moves are hard to do like the flick over head. The graphics are average though some parts are poor. Up close the players are blurry. The player faces show emotion but are average at best. The camera is great. The stadiums are nicely done too.
Fifa is a good soccer game that needs a few improvements to make it really special.

Madden gets a little better

one sweet racing game

Xbox has several franchises that are exclusive to it alone. Halo is one that stands above the others. Just after Bunjie's brainchild comes Project Gotham Racing. This is Bizarre Creations' second offering of its PGR series. PGR2 offers about 100 cars to choose from. From the common Ford Focus to very rare and pricey Ferrari Enzo. The visuals are unsurpassed by any racer of its time. The races occur usually through city courses. You get nice views of the cities in the backgrounds. Chicago and its tall structures stand out. The controls of this arcade racer are great. Do tricks(like sliding) or stay untouched damage for points called "kudos points." This game is most fun in multiplayer mode. The sound adds to this gem of a racer. The roar of engines and grating of tires truly bring the feel of racing to you. The music includes about 100 varied tracks. Also you get to play your own custom music. Yes.

Like a superb sports car Project Gotham Racing 2 leaves the competition in second place. This is truly an amazing racing game.

This game is almost great.

Adding a few weapons and a mission mode are what separates this fun and at times flustrating game from Ninja Gaiden. It offers brilliant and quick action. Its gorgeous visuals are rarely equaled on the Xbox. You can unleash of breathtaking moves on your foes. It offers a fearsome challenge to gamers. Story... there kind is no story... sort of. The story doesn't make sense. It includes going after a warrior for revenge and retrieving a sword he/it stole. The story does not fit together. The biggest weakness of the game is its camera. It is too low and does not shift to where Ryu, the hero, faces; you have to press a button for that. Enemies are often nearby and can't be seen because they are out of view.
Despite these drawbacks Ninja Gaiden Black is still a classic game.
