Ninja Gaiden

$24.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
actually the difficult thing in this game is when it tries to be super mario and makes you jump around on a bunch of platforms.
from www.amazon.com
i have played halo and had the opinion it was the most impressive looking game on any platform.
from www.amazon.com
game, although there are puzzles and item collection, and a surprisingly significant amount of prince of persia style platforming to keep it in the genre it has been advertised as belonging to.
from www.amazon.com
to top that you get to own the trilogy that was created in the late eighties (early nineties), the best game ever created in two dimensions on the nes platform.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

$39.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
it has a nice blend of acrobatic platforming, intense combat, and puzzle solving.
from www.amazon.com
without this, the game would be purely platform and while this could be fun, it definetely needs the action to keep it feeling alive.
from www.amazon.com
platforming aspect of the game is good, along with the puzzles, and the action.
from www.amazon.com
while "the sands of time" set the tone with its acrobatic platforming, which remains pretty much in tact, "warrior within" took that game's weak combat mechanics and fleshed them out into something a
from www.amazon.com

Halo: Combat Evolved

$14.00 Est. at Amazon

from shopping.yahoo.com
this is the absolute best game made available for any platform, in any home, in any country!!!
from shopping.yahoo.com
with lighting effects so realistic, it is almost too expensive for other platforms to buy and develop.
from www.amazon.com
halo was one of the most anticipated games on any platform when it was released.so, now, we must judge the game as it is, not as the hype says it is.
from www.amazon.com

the bottom line: if you enjoy adventure or platform games, be sure to check out the deeply-involving oddworld: munch's oddysee.

it appeared to be a platformer, but in truth it was a puzzle game through and through.
from www.amazon.com
the platform has been changed to fit the xbox only.
from www.amazon.com
platform/run & jump & shoot type games aren't really my style, but this combines that genre with a significant amount of problem-solving and interaction with other lifeforms within the game.

it isn't perfect of course, but so much is right with this one that it is hard to imagine not at least renting it, if not buying it outright, if you like platformers at all.

from platforming to shooting, the gameplay never gets old, because the game is so balanced out.

the level design, textures, sounds, physics, and interaction are on a level of perfection that i've never experienced in any game on any platform.

now that each platform has its own special character, it makes the game even better.
from www.amazon.com
perhaps it's a multi-platform problem because the ps2 isn't nearly as powerful as the gc and xbox.
from www.amazon.com
the game was released on all three major platforms and features a different unique character to each.
