Way to ruin a franchise.

Way to ruin a franchise. I mean the action is what you'd expect from a big budget movie. However the story was complete garbage! Duke dies in the very beginning!!!!!!!! And half the crap that happens they don't even really explain. Whoever wrote the storyline needs to be shot. This is not worthy of the GI. Joe name. I grew up reading GI Joe comics and watching the cartoon series, and I have to say that this was a complete let down! Glad I got to watch this for free with amazon prime, otherwise I'd be asking for my money back.

If you already have NBA 2K14 don't waster your money.  This is a carbon copy with updated roster.  What really irritated me is that the developers willingly chose to exclude many features that are in the PS4/XBox One versions of the game.  Features that could have easily been included into the PS3/XBox 360 versions.  However, it feels like they did they bare minimum in order to quantify this as a "new" game/  It also feels like they purposely under-developed the PS3/360 versions of this game in order to force people to upgrade to the next generation systems (PS4/XBox One).

I definitely won't be getting 2K16 because I'm sure it will also be nothing more than roster update with a few graphic tweaks.

I've played this franchise for over 10 years, I skipped pandaland and came back for this game mostly because I didn't pay for anything. First, blizzard only cares about the money. They're new pay $60 every year model is just milking its customers for cash. Second their customer service is the most terrible service I have ever had. I've had several in game issues over the passed few months and I get the standard copy/paste crap without a GM ever investigating. I escalated my last ticket to a supervisor because the previous GM's weren't even reading half of what my issue was and only then they were like "OH S*** ITS VALID, but SO SORRY". I tried to reply to the same email and they completely ignored it.

I'm done with this company and its franchise. For those of you who want free content patches and better customer service I'd try any other game out there.

I not only agree with the others that if you bought this game last year, you will buy the same game again (for 50 dollars).

Better sound....  Well, ok I guess...

No better graphics.

New game enhancements:  You will quickly try to find a way of turning off quarterback "tunnel vision mode".

Nothing else to say here.

Commentary: I have memorized all the lines used over and over again from last year, and I have not found anything new added this year.  And still commentary is sometimes out of place to what is really going on in the game.

DNA creation of a superplayer:  Well, this is a nice line of thought, but it is not created well enough yet in this year's version to make it very interesting.  A pretty good idea for future games though.

What ever happened to create your own plays from scratch?  Why was this never integrated into franchise mode where it would be most effective?  Makes no sense to me.  A great idea used poorly and then trashed...  Sad.

Otherwise, if you bought this game, you bought last years game and payed about 40 dollars too much.

Conclusion:  just rent the game if you want for 5 bucks like I did, and then decide if it is worth paying alot of money for the new game and new enhancements.  Unless you like to waste your money, you probably won't.  Keep your old game.

The player is ad-infested. You have to view an ad before you can watch, and while watching occasionally ads pop up. Horrible, completely ruins the viewing experience.

The game play has suffered greatly in EA Sports UFC 2. The smallest hit will turn you or your opponent into a ragdoll and it doesn't matter what kind of attack it is. You will suffer so many knock downs and stunned states in a single match that it's not even funny. It feels so unrealistic and not at all like the enjoyable game play from the previous game. And imo, It takes all the fun out of playing the game when even the smallest leg kick will send you flying to the ground. On top of that, We have this terrible, new ground system. Each position you go earn gives you 2-4 quick options to choose from in an attempt to better your position or get out of one. It's so overly simplistic. The ground system from the first game was totally fine and didn't need any changing. This one feels like very childish and doesn't make the ground game any more engaging or fun to play.

The new Ultimate Team mode was a stupid and needless addition. No you don't unlock a team of fighters, which would have been cool. Instead, You create a team of custom characters and level them up by earning coins through fights. So essentially, It's a stripped version of the career mode and just another way to get you to pay for a game you already paid for. Speaking of the career mode, It's just as lame as last year's so don't bother.

Overall, The terrible and unrealistic game play negates pretty much everything. It's the whole back bone of the game and was so terrible done that it doesn't make the game worth buying.

Can't believe this franchise could get sloooooower.
still waiting for something to happen here.
move along.

Failure.  Here's why
1. No Franchise mode, I mean come on!  Franchise is everything, and is what killed this game.  No franchise = No real fun.  I probably would have gotten it if this hadn't been the case.
2. The overall gameply.  According to everyone it's to easy, the annoucers are horrible, the players look stiff.  And is it just me, or is the stadium really dark?  So much more could have been done.  Better gameplay, graphics, and overall depth is how this game failed.
What I did like about this game was the passing and shooting style.  The passes were cool and easy, and the shots looked awsome.  Unfortunantly, everything is dark, the rims don't look like rims, and the gameplay is easy to beat.  Trust me, I've played this game.
Overall, this game just didn't live up to what it could have been.  But Microsoft already fixed the problem with the 2003 edition.  The game has a ton of dunks, fluid player animations, and a whopping 25 season franchise mode.  Sure, it's 60% more to pay, but it's either that, or this.  Go for the new and improved 2003 edition.  Either that, or go for NBA Live 2002 or NBA 2K2.  Thx!

This game keeps freezing. I really love this franchise and part 3 was awesome. This one is a disaster. Capcom messed up Street Fighter 5 so bad and now this. I highly suggest you wait and see if they will re-release this as a complete game a year from now or don't buy it at all. So many bugs. No good story or bosses. This other review summed it up for me:

Bad camera, low resolution (resulting in fuzzy/soft picture quality), poor performance even on the Xbox One S. The games story is short and weak. They took out the timer instead of giving players the choice. The took out co-op. They took out the psychopath bosses and instead gave us some buffed up enemies in the map that aren't memorable in any way. The whole game screams casual so they could get more sales. All of this is because western developers thought they could make a better game than the japanese developers. Thanks for nothing Microsoft and Capcom Vancouver!

I'm at the point now where I wish companies would  just stop making sports video games. They are all awful. Garbage. Basically, all you get now is a controlled, cheated, glitched AI controlled nightmare. Madden is no different. The higher levels on these games are so unrealistic and such crap, it's pretty much unplayable. The All-Madden level might be the worst level in any game of any era. I picture a group of 20 somethings who really never played sports sitting around in a room trying to figure out how they can program a game that controls everything...giving the user no say in the outcome. "Let's see guys, let's make sure user skill is thrown right the hell out the window again this year....can the AI control blocking and make it unrealistic and putrid? Yes. Can we control the QB accuracy so he throws interceptions? Yes. Can we control it so that the AI defense adjusts perfectly to every audible? Yes. Can we control when a runner fumbles and control all the penalties? Yes".  Seriously? In an age where sports video games should be MORE realistic and user skill should be MORE involved...why do we get games like this? As the AI became more advanced, the programmers have decided to use it for evil instead of good. Make it control the game. Make it cheat. Make it unrealistic. You simply cannot get any momentum going (like in a real game) in this because the AI will see to it you have a fumble or a penalty or an errant throw. Hell, I can't even control my own runner without a little delay.  I struggle to understand why they make games like this. Do they think it's fun for the user? Uhhh, no. Remarkable that it's 2015 and the best football video games are still Tecmo and John Elway Quarterback. Probably because adults made those games.

The commercials for this game were more entertaining than the game itself.
Poor and unintuitive gameplay, bad graphics, repetitive monsters.
I should know better by now than to buy a game made after a movie(thay all ...), but I couldn't resist; the Evil Dead series is my all time favorite. Bruce, Sam, how could you do this to your fans?

By now, anyone who is not familiar with this series franchise, should not even be reading any of these reviews.  We all know the basic story and outline, what will happen, what does happen and how it cannot be avoided.  Number 4 in the series is no exception.
Number 1 was the best of them all; number 2 at least had Ali Lautner in it, although had a weak story; number 3 had the roller coaster and number 5 pulled all together. Number 4 (The Final Destination) is meaningless and bad. Why?  First off, the "U.S' in this movie is actually Florida (thus so fitting for racing) as opposed to Vancover-ized version of the U.S.as in the other 4 movies. You have absolutely no connection with any of the characters, either because they just are all awful at their craft, or just because you have no empathy for them (the 4 leads are just stiff in their roles).The story is too convoluted in that it does not follow the structure of how premonitions and death work as opposed to the other 4 installments. It is the one movie that is left out there on its own, with no point of reference to the original movie in any way shape or form (the other 3 touch on Flight 180, or have Tony Todd in them to remind us).
I actually sat through this movie checking the remaining time left on my blu-ray player as to how much more of this I had to endure.
DO NOT use this as a starting off point for the franchise as it will disappoint. Buy the first one and then other 3 as they all connect. This is a "stand alone" movie whihc adds nothing to the franchise.

This game is VERY hard.  I was a multiple-cup-winner in 2003 on difficult, and I can barely win a game on easy this year.  The new passing engine is the DUMBEST idea ever conceived.  If you want to stand still and wait for your pass meter to charge so that you can attempt a pass (which probably won't go anywhere near where you want it to anyway) good luck.  I get nailed 9 out of 10 times trying to pass.  Your players are slow.  Even with turbo, my guys get smoked everytime, making it almost impossible to bust up the ice for a shot or beat an opponent to the puck.  These two aspects add up to being grossly outshot most of the time.  Don't be surprised if your opponents consistantly get 40 SOG.  The game also fails to inform you when players are injured/sick/tired, and how long they're out for.  This bites when it means you have linemen with the flu and a goalie in net who is too tired to play effectively.  I've played with great teams and mediocre teams and I get the same results.  This game has resulted in more anger and frustration than I thought I was capable of.
I've outlined some of the pros and cons below.  If I were you, I'd stick with 2003 for now, the superior gameplay far outweighs the aspects of dynasty mode provided in 2004.  Hold out for 2005, hopefully the gameplay will be improved.
Pros
- Dynasty mode allows more realistic control of a team
- New fight engine is much better than previous years
- New visuals such as helmets coming off and the ice showing wear are cool
- Real-time PPs and PKs are fun
- Sound effects are the most realistic yet
Cons
- Gameplay is near impossible, due mostly to new passing engine
- Team AI seems dumber than in 2003 while the computer AI forecasts your every move
- I miss the celebrations after scoring a goal
- Game never informs you of when players are sick, injured, or tired.

DC up to this point has done no wrong , Paul Dini steered the animated movies and TV shows into greatness that Marvel couldn't touch .
But now DC has chosen to follow their new corporate 52 motif into bleakness .
This was their most soulless unimaginative incarnation to date .
This is what happens when you let two people take control of a great universe and redesign it , Geoff Johns and Jim Lee owe long time DC Comic fans an apology for this travesty .
Thanks to this movie I will not buy another DC Animated movie just like I stopped buying DC Comics with their new 52 relaunch , a sad day for comics and comic fans .
I expected better ...

First off, I have loved to watch the Price is Right since I was a kid so I thought that this game would be fun. There is only one word to describe this game. LAME. Don't waste your time or money. The developers could have done so much more to make this a better game but obviously they just threw this piece of crap together to make money off of the franchise. I literally played it once and was so disappointed in what I bought that I almost threw it in the trash. Instead I took it to the local game store and got $3.00 bucks for it. LAME LAME LAME!!!!!!

"One last time". Thankfully we won't have to deal this mockery anymore. You know it has been quite some journey for this mediocre franchise from a terrible game developer. Go from point a to point b. Climb climb climb, shooting, and more climbing THEN OMG CINEMATIC MOMENT. The game play has not changed much from the previous uncharted's. Nathan Drake is still as lame as ever, Sully should be in a retire home, and Elena at some time should have kicked the bucket from childbirth. I was wrong once again in giving faith to Naughty Dog as they are reasons unknown can not make good games. I had more fun playing farm simulator. The one positive I would probably give to this game are the graphics, but as we all know, graphics don't make a good game, and it certainly didn't save this junk.
