Motorcycles are also pretty fast. Try getting in your car, going 45 miles an hour and then turn 90 degrees. You're going to skid and you're going to crash into something. I don't care what car you drive.

I'm sure you won't be skidding as much in real life than you do in the game.

I couldn't care less about skidding/spinning/etc. MY problem with the driving is that regardless of the car, and whether you're going 5mph or 50mph you still can't use the brake to properly turn. You always wind up almost hitting a lamppost or another car.

Haha - the last boss is a cakewalk if you're using Kelly Lv.3 - her power boost (been a long time since I played it but I think you click in both thumbsticks simultaneously for that) just completely jacks him.
Took me less than two minutes once i figured that out.
The hardest one for me was the spiny boss. - the fact that you could only hit him from a very specific angle really made me go argh.

That's just untrue. I'll show that I can do it on Live. Going that and making a 90 degree turn is easy.

You may be one of the few that can pull it off then. Nearly every review I've read - including the 10s - mention the driving as a flaw. I don't doubt you may not have a problem with it, but it definitely could've been tweaked better than it was.

I actually couldn't figure out how to take its shield down the first time I fought it, which made the battle impossible. Figured it out next time through and killed it DEAD. I missed a few cores, so no Kelly-3 for me this time through. :(
Which spiny boss? They're all kind of spiny. :D

Don't forget TXR3 had the multi-car matches - those were quite exciting.

I find them kind of pointless. You can easily overtake the 2nd car and the whole thing just slows the game down. I was in a 2-on-1 race in Osaka, and everything slowed down to Matrix-speed while entering a corner. | j_factor

Target: Terror (wii) - ?/10
It's hard to give this game a score, because it's really terrible and really awesome at the same time. It's like watching a hilariously bad movie. Definitely worth playing IMO, although not really worth the $40 price tag.
Donkey Kong Country 2 (snes) - 7/10
Better than the first, not as good as the third. In particular, the level design and music aren't as good. There are too many levels with the stupid parrot, and sometimes the collision detection is a bit questionable. Occasionally, the game doesn't scroll right, causing a few very annoying deaths. And I don't really like the Kong Kollege, Monkey Museum, Funky's Flights, Klubba's Kiosk, etc. aspect of the game at all.

Sure they aren't too flashy and you could even find them dull, but everything is relative, not many side-scrolling platforms are even in the same league outside of Mario ones, Nights, and a select few others. | Smaug317

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?
Donkey Kong Country is on just about every list of the top overhyped or overrated games. I mean seriously. Look it up. Even EGM featured it in its overrated games feature, when they had been one of the chief overraters. And even Nintendo's own Miyamoto said something about how it proves that people will buy a game for its graphics, even if the gameplay isn't great. The backlash is to the point that a lot of people now say DKC is crap. I wouldn't go that far, myself.
And it is very often opined that the sequels were an improvement. I know some people think DKC2 was the best of the series, but I thought it was pretty uniformly agreed that DKC1 was the worst of the three.

Super Princess Peach - 8/10
Just started it today after taking a super long hiatus from any DS playing.
I love it, charming graphics and very simple. Sometimes I get annoyed when platformers try to do too much stuff. I just dig getting from point A to point B and jumping around and hitting some stuff in between sometimes. I don't really want to worry about collecting X amount of this and Y amount of that, or have to worry about missing stuff due to branching paths.
Plus, Peach is my favorite Nintendo character and shes super sexy in this one! | benstylus

Fifa 08 - 9/10
I stopped playing this for a while, but I've recently started again. This game is amazing. I'm not a soccer fan by any stretch of the imagination (although I do usually watch the World Cup, but that's similar to how I always watch sports I'd never watch when the Olympics are on), but this game truly is fun. I played FiFa World Cup 06, and it's amazing how much they've inproved on this game. The graphics are amazing, and the controls are so much better than 06 (I never played 07).
