Star Wars: Obi-Wan
Overall: Well, i had waited for this game, I loved the Phantom Menace on PC and generally love star wars. Therefore the appeal was intense and was really excited. Seeing it on the shelf when it was first released made me smash myway through the browsers to land myself a first copy. The combination of a classic tale and graphics, plus more intense interactivity, like force pushes and pulls was all i needed.Gameplay: Gameplay varies throughout the game. The first (roughly) 5 levels are really difficult to get into and frankly I wondered what the heck was going on with this game. Trying to invent a different plot just does not work for this company. I would have prefered fewer levels that ruining the game with those ones. What is even more boggling is that the game gets easier!! Surely its meant to get harder!! On the other hand the ability to actually manouver your light saber is brilliant, and now you can harness the force even futher. Obi-Wans movement is rather odd and takes some getting used to. There are also some flaws in the game like dieing for no reason and getting stuck, as well as frame rates going mad. This game is full of bugs and really shouldnt have been released till they sorted them out.
Graphics: Hellllooooooo Mr Software Designer, you are dealing with Xbox here. The constant jaggies, especially in movie mode just show this game was made in a hurry and designed to play on the star wars fan base to buy it. The graphics are no better than those I got from phantom menance on my bog standard PC. Dont get me wrong but they arnt special and they are certainly not bad, just not impressive to make your jaw drop like Halo.
Audio: Sound is good and of high quality in this game, and those lovely "swoooosh" sounds of the light saber bring it to life. Nothing particularly special, but good to hear the effects of your force pushes and jumps. The movement of the light saber and it hitting walls and objects all have distincly different noises, and once you are drawn in you dont get any sense of repetition in the effects.
Suggestions: Hey! Get rid of those jaggies and learn to code better. This game is riddles with bugs, and there is nothing more that annoys a gamer like me that finding your game has been cut short by bad programming. Also why only 5 attempts at a level, surely it makes more sense to have unlimited.

Fuzion Frenzy
Overall: Fuzion Frenzy,Well the frenzy bit lives up to its name for sure. I have played this game round my mates for a sleepover and we just coudnt stop playing! So enthralled by the quick pace and the competition we actually laughed at each other and were in hysterics at one point.
I loved this game, I originally thought it was going to be rubbish as I had read so many negative reviews. Therefore I was totally captivated by it, its appeal grew and grew and left me hungry for more.
Gameplay: The action was either thick and fast or slow and dull. The amount of times I lost my character was a little disturbing, but when playing the sumo games it more than made up for it. The controls were fairly easy to master, but did end up pressing various buttons which did nothing by mistake.
The multiplayer is great, hours upon hours of sheer play, laughs and full of happy memories, especially knocking my oponent off ledges and beating them by miles in the races.
The single player action was a little slow, it didnt seem to want to play fair. The AI were either knocking the hell out of me, or just seemed to be having a coffee break.
This is definatly for multiplayer gaming, there were only two of us at a time we I played but more is necessary for that ideal party experience!
Graphics: Graphics varied, on some levels the graphics were really appealing to the eye and the attention to detail was great, on the other hand on other levels I easily lost my character and I got a case of the "jaggies" on some of the structures.
Audio: IRRATATING to say the least, but adjusting the voices of the characters was REALLY funny. Squeaky and Welsh mode really put me off as I was laughing for ages. On the other hand even with the funyn voices they irratated me.
Suggestions: Improve the graphical details so that each level is to an equel standard, and get some "nice" voices who arnt so intrusive. Single player mode was a little dissappointing, but I understand its a party game so I aint complaining that much! All said and done, ur onto a winner!
