This is the REAL "Sorry"game.

This is the game I remember from my childhood, not the simplified, dumbed-down, and modified-for-people-with-no-attention-span version that's out there on the shelves now.  As such, I found this version very pleasant and refreshing.

I've played all of the Mario Party games. I started when MP2 came out and played my way up to game 6 before trying the original MP. It is so bad compared to later games that it's unbelievable. I'm thankful the team worked harder to improve the concept for games 2 and beyond; with this one it appears they didn't try to test-play it before they threw it on the market. I don't even know if I should recommend this game or not. On the one hand it's hilarious just for the sheer ridiculousness of it all; on the other, it's frustrating and gets old fast, but you can't choose to play fewer turns than 20! In fact the game makes it seem like 50 turns is the "normal" choice - if I played a full 50 turns of this I think I'd tear my hair out. Let me put it this way: this game hates you and works against you to make sure you lose. The mini-games don't make any sense, are hard to play, don't allow you to truly practice first, and they TAKE coins from you if you lose. In at least one of the boards, just moving around pretty much makes you lose coins so when you reach the star, there's no way for you to buy it. And if you do get a star, it's pretty much guaranteed that you are going to lose it just by taking your turn. The computer cheats like it does in all the other games but this time around it's UNREAL. TIP OF THE DAY: If you do decide to play and need a good laugh, try to play the mini-game where you run around with a bag of coins on your back and other people are supposed to come up and steal the coins out of the bag. It looks like they are trying to launch a certain type of prison attack on you that I don't think I can spell out on here. I laughed so hard I dropped my controller and had to run to the bathroom to avoid having an accident on myself. When I came back, my friend and the two computer characters had backed me in a corner and were tag-teaming me. Each time one was done and passed me off to the others, my character (Mario) would grab his backside and go "Ohhhhhhhh" I thought I was going to throw up from laughing so hard. So I give this game an extra star for that alone 'cause that made my whole evening.

And here's another game that gets bad at the end.

When you select the easiest setting, that's what you expect.

But no, in  the last hurray battle they throw every single character that you ever fought, against you.  And if that's not bad enough, there's no clear explanation as to what you've got to do in order to accomplish the mission.

It was fun until the last part.  These are the worst games... the  ones that lead  you on and then drive the sledgehammer into your bowels.  It was a waste of money--I'm glad the series is over.

SPOILER:

There's one line in the game that if any woman ever says this "Don't make me choose," to you in real life--leave her.  Just as she should be first on your list, you should be first on hers.  You can always have more children.  If it had been me on this "sacrifice your life for us" mission, I would never have come back--not to her...no way.

This game is RACIST. Shame on 2K sports and Spike Lee.

This is the worst.  There is literally not one redeeming thing about this game and I felt completely ROBBED within seconds of playing it.  It's worse than anything you would have played back in 1985.  Save your money.

The problem with the game is the stupid online only that EA has decided to jam down our throats. Of course the servers were going to fail, despite EAs assurances over and over again that they were prepared for the expected large amounts of players who would be firing up the game on the first day. I was one of those gamers, and it ended up being a wasted day. Worse things could happen in my life? you betcha they could, but the point is, people begged EA to not include the online only play model and they were scoffed at by the company. The worst I thought was not being able to play my city from one server to the next. It turns out the worst experince so far has been being put in a twenty minute countdown, for my next attempt at connecting to a server. A twenty minute line just to TRY to connect to a server again!?! Really EA? I hope to god this is the last EA game I ever trick myself into buying again.

If you want a  game that really is out there and terribly painful to look at this is it.  I have a few words to describe it.  FUNNY, cartoonish, Funny, relaxed, Funny, brainless, Funny and Oh it is Funny.  The Graphics aren't all about this game it is more the storyline or lack thereof.  It is snowboarding...not Tony Hawks Wastelands stuff.  Not that tony is not funny...but I think if you don't really care about winning or just want to fool around this game lets you do it.  Buy it...it isn't that expensive, probably the cheapest 360 game thusfar.

If you ever wondered why Konami took the dive over the past 20 odd years, this game is the perfect example to direct yourself towards. A bastardization of the classic franchise, you can't really call it a cash grab because it didn't target large mainstream gaming audiences. It's like they published a 3d virtual rendering of their psychosis for all future generations to witness the companies decent into madness and mediocrity. Avoid this game like the plague; unless you want a crisis of self and question everything you hold to be true in life, because if that is the case and you want to have a mental breakdown, this is the perfect game for you. 1/5
1.5/5 w/rice.

Look elsewhere. The game is just terrible. I'll save you the effort of playing - the computer wins every time.

You know why the other people are complaining about the first edition of the Guitar Hero LCD game? Well, they expect it to be like the TV Guitar Heros. WHAT?! If you look at the picture, you'll immediately understand that this is a little LCD game that surely can't contain as much as the console games. Plus, they were expecting modern-day kids to love this. If they love Game & Watch games, then I'm sure there won't be a problem. Otherwise, you were mistaken.

First, let's go over the in-game. At first, they seem confusing to navigate, because you don't know which buttons to press. Well, soon, you find out that the yellow button sets the volume or difficulty higher, and the blue button lowers them. The orange button should be pressed to confirm your choices of volume and difficulty.

Now, the main gameplay is still pretty similar to all the other Guitar Hero games. You just don't strum with the buttons you press. You can also mash the Whammy button (See the fake handle next to the screen?) during long frets to score extra points. The songs are shorter than the originals, and there are only 15 of them, but the game plays well. And also, it's not really common for an LCD game to have voices come out of the speaker.

So overall, it's not as bad as everyone says, once you realize that it is what it's supposed to be: Guitar Hero on LCD.

Last years version of the game was okay at best.  One could bomb the ball up and have your reciever snag it about 3/4 of the time.  This year, this is not the case....its worse.  The playaction deep bomb is over done.  I have played six games on Hiesman and have broken every school & game record by nearly double.  The great part is the recievers will catch the ball in stride, but the DBs fight over the ball and knock eachother out of the play!  If you are okay w/ this flaw, the game is great.  But when there is a money play this easy to execute, it puts the game down quite a bit.  Rent before you buy, in my opinion, this flaw ruins the game.

Most of the reviewers here must be impressed by the new title on the new console. I've owned every single FIFA game since when they became available for Xbox 360 and PS3, I think FIFA07 (before that I used to play PES) and I can assure you this is the WORSE football game I've ever played. Pretty sure that first gen Nintendo game back in 1988 called 'Goal' is better than this game.

If I had to describe this game in one word it'd be FRUSTRATING. This is the most unrealistic football game I've ever played. The players moves, first touches, passing, crossing, decisions, are awful. They make mistakes that don't happen in real football. There's no tactics on this game, it's impossible to try to play possession and show some skills. The solution to everything is a chip pass or a cross, no skills needed to do that, that's not real football.

I keep playing thinking that it's just a matter of time and getting used to the game and its new 'improves', but it's frustrating to see that it doesn't matter how hard you try to elaborate a nice play or make the right defensive moves, the players keep moving and playing like if they were amateurs, not like the best professional football players in the world that they are. You can be very alert with all your defenses, but if there's a chip pass, they run crazy and start running everywhere but where the ball is going. Is that the great AI that EA Sports talks about? that's ridiculous.

Like many other reviewers have stated on other reviews, this game is a step down from previous versions (actually about 20 steps down).

Interface and graphics are awesome, but I'd rather have something I can feel is real while I'm playing.

I hope they come out with the World Cup version soon, removing all the new 'improvements' made on this game, and making it real again. I could pretend that nothing happened and that this was just a $50 joke from EA Sports.

I don't necessarily think this is a one star game because we did have a lot of fun playing it with friends, HOWEVER, there were very uncomfortable moments when blatantly transphobic cards were drawn. This is clearly a game made for cisgender gay men, by cisgender gay men, which is apparently synonymous with the social acceptance of transphobia. I will be taking out all of the transphobic cards and disposing of them so I don't have to see them ever again, and so I can continue to play this game. I'm not going to waste my money by throwing this game away but I do think it's important for others to know before getting the game the disgustingly transphobic cards that come with it.

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.

A great game, terribly managed... how sad.  Sadly, this is just what I expected from this game.  This will certainly be my last purchase from EA.

What I'm not:  I'm not a teenager who can neglect his homework, play for hours every day, and talk to his friends about how to kill the bad guy.
What I'm not:  I'm not a war general who knows to put the archers on high ground and flank the cavalry with spearmen.
What I'm not:  I'm not someone who works for the department of zoning and planning.
What I am:  Just someone who likes to play a game and win more than lose.

What this game is not:  This is not a fast action paced game where you tell your wife you're too busy upgrading units, don't answer the phone because you're bein attacked by aliens, or hold in that bladder tight because any minute now and you lose.
What this game is:  It's a slow paced game.  You can kick back, sip coffee, smoke a cig, and even walk away to attend to real life concerns and still come back with everything intact.

What this game is not:  This is not a high dedication game.  You don't have to dedicate eight hours a day, seven days a week to upgrade your cooking skill.
What this game is:  A couple of hours of fun.  The time stamp has given me an average of two hours of game play per completed campaign map.

What this game is not:  This is not a game designed for the strategic expert or the officer of city commissions.  You don't have to know anything about planning a city or war strategies to have fun and win the scenarios.
What this game is:  A game for dummies.  It literaly tells you, "Click on the flashing button.  Now place the cursor over the blue signal on the screen.  There!  You just created a building, now watch."  And, "Click on the catapult, now click on the flashing icon to activate it.  Now click on the glowing target."  I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through some of these games.  I've played other games with hundreds of buildings and all they do is, "What would you like to build first?"  I don't know, i'm not a zoning commissioner.

In summary, this is a slow paced, low action, high in telling you what to do and when to do it game.  You can walk away and come back if needed.  You can spend a few hours and have fun.  You can take your time to think about what to do next.  You can win every scenario.  This is the game for me.  I hope they make more like these.
