the bots in this game even though casual is to bots it's like your average gamer who has played most gun games and knows the controls, when you put the difficulty on hardcore its way harder you find

Resident Evil 5

$46.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this game is a must buy though some parts of the actual game play sucks like the inventory,the dumb zombies,and controls can get hard to master,but the game is so beautiful to see and tons of action
from www.amazon.com
i like how it no longer takes me out of the game, but sometimes it is hard to use.
from www.amazon.com
it was hard to make an introduction because frankly, im not really sure if there was a story to this game.
from www.amazon.com
the boss of the game wasn't hard, figuring out how to fight him was difficult for me though.
from www.amazon.com
the game was good though and has some of the hardest bosses you'll ever fight.

Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
bad company is not hard, but it is fun to see if approaching a hotspot makes it easier on you.
from www.amazon.com
the way the achievements are set up is that you get 15 for beating a mission on normal and 25 for beating it on hard.
from www.amazon.com
the achivements are fairly easy and can be earned just by playing the game, with the exception of a few.the hardest one being, getting 10,002 kills online ( don't think i'll be getting this one).
from www.amazon.com
this feature is very useful when your at a hard part in the game.), 90% of the enviornment is destructable(interior walls, some crates, and floors aren't destructable but will be in the sequel), and
from www.amazon.com
i recomend this game to the hardcore or casual fps gamer!

Tales Of Vesperia

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
that game, heck, i still can't hardly play it without grinding my teeth in frustration at the horrible storyline, bad acting and bizzare pokemon-esque gameplay.
from www.amazon.com
this game probably has the best use for cel-shaded graphics for a next-gen game seeing as when i first saw the intro, i found it a bit hard to tell which is in-game graphics and which is an anime
from www.amazon.com
these are wonderful on their own right, but are hardly necessary since the in-game graphics practically look like an anime anyways.
from www.amazon.com
the story in general might be considered average by hard-core rpg gamers.
from www.amazon.com
people try way to hard to be 'normal'.

VIVA Piata Trouble in PARADISE

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's definately a must buy if you're a hardcore halo fan.
from rifidi, www.newegg.com
voice get's annoying - don't realize how much time you spend other thoughts: as a hardcore gamer into fps and fighting games i was pleasantly surprised when i saw my sister playing this game.
from www.amazon.com
well, i hardly ever see my husband anymore on his days off, he's so into it.
from www.amazon.com
it sounded at first like it would be silly and easy, which it basically is, but it does get harder.
from www.amazon.com
overall this game is fun, but its not action every second and has sorta of a storyline, so anyone looking for a game for kids or just an easy game (which gets pretty hard actually) this is the game

UFC 2009 Undisputed

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this along with the possibility that no matter how good you are at the game, you are only one wrong move from going lights out or tapping out make it a great game for hard-core gamers and casual
from www.amazon.com
this was obviously a very hard game to make because it's based on real fighting technique's and has to be grounded in reality.
from www.amazon.com
honestly it's really hard to get to a decision without just getting pummelled.
from www.amazon.com
i personally feel that the game is progressing as i am, and that every time i learn something new the fighters in career mode are just that little bit harder.
from www.amazon.com
it is somewhat intuitive but i am still struggling with transitions (there are easy and hard transitions and the hard ones don't always seem to work).

Ninja Gaiden 2

$15.00 Est. at Amazon

from MynameIs from York, Pa, www.circuitcity.com
ninja gaiden 2 was the first game i played when i bought the xbox 360 and comparing this one to the other games i played, i find it very hard to match.
from Scott, www.newegg.com
it takes hardcore ninja action and great game play and ties it all together with awesome visuals.
from Ben, www.newegg.com
free shipping is pretty hard to come by.that being said, ninja gaiden 2 is just an awesome game.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: if you like action games, or if you're a hardcore gamer then you should really get this game.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: it might be too difficult for the less hardcore people.

Pure for Xbox 360

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
sure the races should be more challenging as you progress, but it's a little too hard at times i think.
from www.amazon.com
it is true that the difficulty level gets harder as you go along, but it is all repetitive and there will be times you feel almost as if you're just going around in circles doing the same thing over
from www.amazon.com
it's not that hard once you get the hang of the controls, to place first in every race.
from www.amazon.com
usually, the games are too hard to master or too repetitious and thus get little play beyond 30 minutes or so.
from www.amazon.com
too many racers these days are either too easy, or too hard.

Race Driver GRID

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i've beat almost every racing game out there, and this one is the hardest game i've ever played.
from www.amazon.com
at the end of each season you will have a chance to race in lemans, it's really hard but the good thing is that you can skip it and jump to the next season.
from www.amazon.com
i'm only on my tenth season and still climbing the events on the "serious" difficulty setting, it hasn't been too hard or too easy.
from www.amazon.com
i would say american muscle and japanese drift are easy and european touring is a lot harder.
from www.amazon.com
the physics is subtle, and there is hardly any real driving difference between most cars, regardless if they are front/ rear/ mid engined.

THQ, Inc. Red Faction Guerilla - Complete package

$48.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's so hard to care about anything since most of the missions are one man missions.
from www.amazon.com
it's the equivalent of a good arnold movie - it's not going to win any oscars, but one can hardly stop to care when there's this many explosions.
from www.amazon.com
however i do suggest playing it on hard+ mode because even on hard i flew through fairly fast.
from www.amazon.com
i don't think one has to think too hard to figure out which one is the most impressive.
from www.amazon.com
the vehicle selection is understaffed, and some buildings are oddly hard to destroy.

Guitar Hero Metallica

from www.amazon.com
it's nice to see how hard a band has to work to stay on top.
from www.amazon.com
of course with its increasing difficulty it gets rather hard to play.
from www.amazon.com
it's hard to describe but gh-metallica feels like the gh1-2 on the ps2.
from www.amazon.com
guitar hero is hard enough.
from www.amazon.com
(except the slayer song which is just ridiculously hard to play and not even a great slayer song at that!).

NCAA Football 09

$18.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
there is also a little adition added where if you call a timeout when a game winning field goal is about to happen the kicker will be iced and it will be harder for him to make the field goal.
from www.amazon.com
basically, if you want it to be harder there are ways of making the game harder.
from www.amazon.com
besides these complaints, this game is still a blast to play and i recommend it to any casual gamer or hardcore ncaa franchise buyer, both will be satisfied.
from www.amazon.com
would it be that hard to include at least one or two refs on the field during play??
from www.amazon.com
it is hard for me to swallow paying 64 bucks, but so far i have been addicted.

the debate still rages among hardcore civvers as to the merits of civrev, but i think anyone who enjoys a good game will really have fun with this one.
from www.amazon.com
it gets harder only a reasonable amount as you go up in difficulty.
from nsbill, www.newegg.com
i don't know if that's a plus but it is hard to let go of.
from www.amazon.com

once i messed around with the controls, i found it wasn't as hard as i first thought it was but it still isn't quite perfect.
from www.amazon.com
for 1 vs 1 matches, you will hardly notice any, however, playing 3 vs 3 you will notice quite a bit of stutters.
from wardito, www.newegg.com
can determine difficultly level automatically based on your prior performances, which is great so you don't have to play easy, medium, or hard, you'll actually get a customized difficultly level.
