i had my doubts about devil may cry, therefore, but i still took a risk on buying it - a risk, that i can confidently say, was worth it. the action in this game is unsurpased.
from www.amazon.com
it's a really hard game, so for those of you who aren't good at hard games, i suggest you get a gameshark,code breaker,or action replay max.

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal

$26.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.circuitcity.com
this game has more action than jak 3, more exitment than sly 1, also it has more wepons than any other ratchet and clank game ever!
from www.cduniverse.com
in my opinion not as good as the second ratchet and clank game going commando, but it's worthy of being the third installment to a great action game series.
from www.pricegrabber.com
right off the bat, the game starts off with non-stop action and assumes you've played the previous installments.
from electrictroy, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: beautiful graphics as usual weaknesses: not as entertaining as the last game summary: this game has a great story with gr8 mini-games action and puzzles.
from bauerpower, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: fun game, lots of action, fun minigame, online play weaknesses: none at all summary: ratchet & clank: up your arsenal is a very good addition to the series.

recomended for all action horror fans, well if you dont like seeing blood, dont play it, but all of us re fans will not be disapointed but very happy and satisfied with such a great game.
from reviews.sears.com
after playing this fourth game, the action, mistery and madness of the original it is still there but with better graphics, sound and game play.
from www.cduniverse.com
if you're not a fan of the series believe me you will be, with fast paced action and intense story no wonder this game was game of the year.
from www.amazon.com
the voice acting is comparable to that of a-list hollywood action movie productions, but of course being a 20 hour video game it accomplishes a lot more.
from www.amazon.com
this game is a excellent game to play on halloween,because it is an action and horror game.

Dynasty Warriors 3

$65.00 Est. at Amazon

from reviews4you, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: a must buy, very action packed game.
from www.amazon.com
it was so addictive; it was a pure adrenaline rush of video game excitement that you usually only find in 2d action games.
from www.amazon.com
dw4 is a great game, but i felt it lost that beat-the-crap-out-of-them feeling that dw3 gave me- there was to much magic and cutscenes, and not enough action!
from www.amazon.com
this is it, the game all gauntlet fans and alike have waited for,the one game of equal parts bash and go action and historical destruction.
from www.amazon.com
dynasty warriors 3 (shin-sangoku musou 3) is a great, fun action game -- perfect for blowing off steam or killing time.dynasty warriors 2 was a cool game when it came out, but like a lot of first gen.

BloodRayne 2

from www.cduniverse.com
the action is non stop and the voice over is too cool, it's just bloody good.
from www.cduniverse.com
all action!
from www.amazon.com
seriously, since they'll probably never make an actual "kill bill" video game, this is about as close as you could get without legal action occurring.
from www.amazon.com
there's a story here too, but one that takes a backseat to the action and more primal appeal of the game.
from www.amazon.com
rayne springs into action and begins the hunt for her "siblings" and tries to put a stop to their insidious plan.

Kingdom Hearts II

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from JanetFF, www.pricegrabber.com
strengths: great characters and action weaknesses: none summary: i bought this game for my son and he really likes it alot.
from www.pricegrabber.com
kingdom hearts ii introduces a new action known as the command reaction where different actions will be mapped to the triangle button at different times during the game.
from www.pricegrabber.com
in this sequel though, the triangle button is very important, and much of the action is dependent on it.
from www.amazon.com
the bottom line - kingdom hearts 2 may be the most fun you'll ever have with an action rpg, even if it's only for 30 hours (which still isn't bad).
from www.amazon.com
it was a great game, i love the new battle system, but the story wasn't deep and kingdom hearts 2 seemed to be an action/rpg compared to how the original was a strategy/action/rpg...

"metal gear solid 2 features heart-stopping stealth-based action and state of the art graphics."
from www.amazon.com
it is as much a movie as an action/stealth game.
from www.amazon.com
if this game didn't preach, it wouldn't be different from any other action game on the market.
from www.amazon.com
i thought there were interuptions here and there where i felt bit annoying (since the first game implemented that where it tells you to push action button to get on the ladder and etc.
from www.amazon.com
i beat it in 17 hours which may seem alot but isen't most games now are usually atleast 20+ hours on easy that are action/adventure/puzzle but overall the game owned just try to not spend so much

Ico for PlayStation 2

from www.amazon.com
this is an awesome additional aspect to the game, for it adds a little action and tension to an otherwise puzzle-filled game.ico's the best game to come out all year!
from www.amazon.com
but that could just be my copy, which was purchased used.the game is *not* an action game - if you don't like games which require thinking, don't buy it.
from www.amazon.com
there should be more hidden secrets or some randomization so you can play it again and discover new things.if you want tons of action and fighting, it is not the game for you but if you enjoy
from www.amazon.com
it has some rpg elements, but is mainly a puzzle-based action game.
from www.amazon.com
the game play is very good although it cannot compare with other strong games solely intended for an action format.

dis game is a stealth game but to be honest dis game isn't really focused on da stealth mo of the action involved wit slight stealthiness.

it had romance,action,comedy and a overall great appeal for everyone.
from www.shopping.com
features witty repartee, lots of action scenes to keep the little ones occupied and, best of all, a nice message re not judging the book by its cover.

not only is there drama, action, and touching sentiment, the animation is superb.
from scott29, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: after seeing how cgi technology is abused by live-action films, a new pixar feature is nothing less than a reason for movie lovers to rejoice.
from www.amazon.com
the storyline is not as emotional as toy story 2, but it has some moments where it is an action/adventure/comedy in the same vein as "a bug's life." like it's predecessors, the film takes advantage

from ChrisH from SLC, Utah, www.circuitcity.com
it is not for everyone, it is more puzzle-based rather than action but it haskept me hooked from the very beginning.

it is an action game, but to say that it is merely an action game does not do it justice in any way.
from www.amazon.com
#2 hunting for lizards and shooting down fruit seem to be the only reason for the bow and arrow, and even though it is fun for a while it wears down on the action/adventure players nerves.
from www.amazon.com
the only problem with the graohics is that the framerate gets a bit slow when the action heats up , but it's not enough to ruin this game .
