Crazy Taxi
Its pretty obvious what you have to do in this game, pick up a passanger and get them to their destination but in the least possible amount of time. Jump ramps,skid and do everything needed to get there in time.Without the horrors of real life high speed driving this makes a great game.This is an excellent conversion from the dreamcast but i still think some problems could have been fixed and it could do with some more depth as a home console game where as this is the sort of game you play in the arcade. Altogether Short lasting addictive fun.

Crazy Taxi kept me speeding all night long
I only got Crazy Taxi yesterday and already Im hooked. I couldnt put the controls down I was desperate to better my time, my fare score, ranking and to pick up different passengers to take me off to new parts of the course. Its fast, its furious - its erm, well, crazy!! The graphics are brilliant, the game play huge. Its easy to play, but difficult to get good at. As other reviews have said you pick up passengers and the object of the game is to get them to their destination in the quickest time possible. My favourite passenger so far has got to be the priest - I never thought going to church could be so much fun!! This has got to be one of the best (driving) games released for the PS2. My boyfriend said Id like it, in fact Im crazy about it!

Fun, funny, but not fantastic
First things first: Crazy Taxi is not a driving game in the way that MSR or GT3 are. Its an instant-fix game, almost unchanged from the arcade version (and, therefore, the DC version). Its a lot of fun straight away, but the fact that there are only two towns to drive around and a very limited number of unlockable bonuses mean that, arcade-style, the enjoyment remains short-term. There is a lot of fun to be had - more than I had anticipated - but its definitely more of a rental proposition than a purchase.Other points: irritating pop-up, especially vehicle pop-up (not good when youre screaming downhill towards an empty-looking intersection on the wrong side of the road). The frame rate is solid, though I would be appalled if it wasnt. Also, some of the routes can be annoying. A random-destination option might have been a simple way to increase longevity in a home version. The Crazy Box section is fun, but again, limited and short-lived. I get the impression that the developer didnt make too much of an effort to innovate with the conversion. Still, it is a lot of fun. Try the arcade, and if you like it, youll like this.

GameCube RGB Scart Cable

I bought this cable only to find that its not true RGB. Only 8 of the Pins are wired, it would be better to look at another make of RGB cable, as I found out but too late...

Legends Of Wrestling
|
When Acclaim lost the extremely lucrative rights to produce the official WWF game, they invested in the WCW licence--which promptly went bankrupt. Without another recognisable federation to back, they produced a game featuring ex-wrestling stars. Legends of Wrestlings presentation lacks the polished sheen of WWF SmackDown. Character selection and in-between bout screens are basic and static affairs. This lack of polish is highlighted by the pre-bout introductions, where the wrestle..

Burnout (GameCube)
|
Like your racing games fast, furious and full of spectacular smashes? Youre in luck. With Burnout, Acclaim remove all pretence of going for a serious simulation and instead serve up a delicious dish of pure arcade fun. There are two key selling points to the game--the speed the action runs at and the spectacular crashes. To facilitate these, the set-up couldnt be more straightforward, with the simple aim to be first past the post. You can increase your chances of this by driving more dang..

Extreme G3
|
Take a pinch of Trons lightcycle action, mix in more than a dollop of WipEout and introduce the mix to the PlayStation 2, and you have Extreme G3. Its a tried and trusted formula--futuristic motorcycling on gravity-defying circuits with armaments on the cycles and turbo boosts which make everything go blurry--and its utterly engrossing. Theres no attempt at realism here; its arcade racing at its best. Graphics are incredibly smooth, with no distance pop-up, and the backgroun..
