Gears of War 2

from daddyo from Albuquerque, NM, www.circuitcity.com
the playability is top notch...hard and tough opponents.
from lt.dell.com
allows you to increase the difficulty and play with friends and foes alike.
from Tyz, www.newegg.com
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
from www.amazon.com
the new horde mode is exactly what it lives up to, and is true about its difficulty, you will need at least 3 people to pass all 50 waves, but strongly recommended is 5.(hint: start in casual
from www.amazon.com
the meat of this limited edition is the hard-cover "beneath the surface: an inside look at gears of war 2", featuring wonderful art work and brief history of the gears universe; the book immerses you

Pure for Xbox 360

$22.00 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 fun from the start, drives fast to the end and offers enough in the way of variety and technique to challenge and entertain just about any gamer.
from www.amazon.com
my only problem with this game is that its difficulty is higher than i was hoping, some races you have to refrain from pulling tricks or you will land wrong.
from www.amazon.com
it's not that hard once you get the hang of the controls, to place first in every race.

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 Steve, www.newegg.com
the newer over-the-shoulder style shooting with a laser sight as an aiming device gives the game a challenge that i personally find very appealing.
from www.amazon.com
the boss of the game wasn't hard, figuring out how to fight him was difficult for me though.

Guitar Hero Metallica

$67.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the game was pretty much over before it even got started, not to mention that there was almost no challenge at all.
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
some cool new features include the ability to change the difficulty setting in the middle of the song, and you're also now able to get more star power while you're already using it.
from www.amazon.com
it's hard to describe but gh-metallica feels like the gh1-2 on the ps2.

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
it challenges him unlike most games he sits up to play this one.
from www.amazon.com
it captures the intensity, challenge, and science that makes mixed martial arts such a treat for fight fans and brings that experience into your home.
from www.amazon.com
honestly it's really hard to get to a decision without just getting pummelled.

Brothers in Arms: Hell''s Highway

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
what distinguishes this game from hill 30 and earned in blood is a number of new mechanics such as regenerating health, which significantly drops the difficulty level of the game but in such a way
from www.amazon.com
so once you complete the game and you get the authentic mode, i recommend completing the game on that mode for a challenge.
from www.amazon.com
gameplay- thank god they put in crosshairs or else this game would be insanely hard especially in cover!,
from www.amazon.com
second, after completing the easy setting, try it again on normal difficulty, and if you are really adept, try the authentic mode where all assistance is turned off and requires a higher skill level
from www.amazon.com
yes it is harder and takes some getting use to but it is much more challenging and rewarding.

Ninja Gaiden 2

$16.00 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 inkstainz77, www.newegg.com
start on acolyte difficulty if you have never player ng or ngblack on xbox.

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 Kc, www.newegg.com
i have seen yet a little bit challenging (which i cant find a decent challenge any more) and overall great game!

Race Driver GRID

$34.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
in the end, if you are looking for a sweet racing game that will give you serious challenge, get this!
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
even with the increased difficulty as you progress, the game doesn't lose its appeal.
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.

Tales Of Vesperia

$38.00 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'.

Halo Wars

from Ryan, www.newegg.com
i don't blame them, it's a hard game to do this for, but i was hoping they would figure it out.population limits!
from www.amazon.com
it seems like a big challenge to put an rts on a console and control it with a gamepad, but it works really well.
from www.amazon.com
ensemble studios accepted the challenge of transitioning the enormously successful halo franchise from first person shooter (fps) to real time strategy (rts) game.
from www.amazon.com
if you're not a die hard real time strategy game fan.
from www.amazon.com
at my age (32) there is a certain level of difficulty i want to experience; and it's pretty darn low.

ACTIVISION Kung Fu Panda Xbox 360

$24.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
game is kind of short and ti lung is very hard to defeat.
from www.amazon.com
it is so much fun and if you set your difficulty to hard, it is even better (the other two options are simply easy if you're the kind of person who enjoy games such as gow).
from www.amazon.com
each level has a specific set of optional challenges, however, so to complete each level "100%", you may need to play each level at least twice, and sometimes three times.
from www.amazon.com
i recommend this to anyone of any age, if you are an experienced gamer, then i would set the difficulty level to dragon warrior, but the normal setting is still a good challenge.
from www.amazon.com
and there is no more fun to play it again, cause is simple the same, just a little bit harder, if you get it like me in a bundle is a really nice game, but if you purchase it is a really expensive

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
i've seen some reviews here mentioning that the game is easy, but if you increase the difficulty level accordingly you can find an enjoyable experience.
from www.amazon.com
would it be that hard to include at least one or two refs on the field during play??

is good like in any other civ game, they'll really kick your butt on higher difficulty levels.
from www.amazon.com
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 www.amazon.com

from Roebuck from U.S.A, www.circuitcity.com
on the easiest difficulty it isn't to hard and you could probably get through it pretty fast.
from CoDlover from New Market, MD, www.circuitcity.com
the overall gameplay is very fun, with such new challenges as seemlessly-animated ambushes, bonzai charges(my favorite part) and snipers in trees.
from DOB from United States, www.circuitcity.com
veteran is a whole lot easier but still hard as usual.

from www.amazon.com
some guns are easier for some than others (like that wasn't a given), but the sniper is rather hard for new comers to use.
from www.amazon.com
little more than glorified bot matches, but that's not such a bad thing as the enemy ai are really about as close as you can get to real humans, (sometimes better) especially on the harder settings.
from www.amazon.com
there are hardly any maps for ctf and warfare gametypes and the rest of the gametypes are basically just different types of deathmatch.
