Gamespot just put their review up and gave this an 8...maybe I'm being nitpicky but I think that's too low. NBA 2k9 got the same score and I'm so much more impressed with this than I was with NBA 2k9.

I have a feeling the guy who reviewed it isn't much of a basketball fan...the Jordan stuff "isn't much fun"? :? How can you watch the intro to this game the first time you start it up and think it's boring? I love how all of the old players actually play the way they used to play and having the announcers talk about the game like it's actually 1991/1998/whenever is a nice touch.

I'm not even sure how the Jordan stuff could be a complaint since it's not like they sacrificed anything else in the game to put it in. They made the rest of the game better and still included the Jordan thing as an extra. :|

The Jordan Challenge alone is worth the price of admission. This game should of had a launch center, they didn't even put up a video review, this is why I pay for IGN and not Gamespot anymore, you have to question credibility. I guess 2K didn't give them any bribe money, like Eidos did, LOL.

Just a quick question about 360 game saves. I want to copy my cousin's Resident Evil 5 game save to my 360, is that possible? Is there a a way I can play his game save on my console? Thanks in advance for the help.

I would strongly recommend Super Stardust HD. I don't know why people hardly ever mention it, I think it is the best game on the store. Comet Crash and Fat Princess are also fun.yentlequible

Co-Sign on Comet Crash, that game is awesome!

Uncharted 2

1. More Replayability through single player mode, maybe have unlimited ammo, or upgraded weapons once you've completed the game (ala Resident Evil)

Yeah sure, I'll elaborate: Everything was going great until I finished the first underground tomb. I also feel that the upgrade of weapons and villa take from the game IMO. I tend to think about just upgrading my weapons and doing side missions, instead of keeping on track. Maybe I just need to focus on getting to the exclamation point, and not worry about anything else. Oh and one more thing, I'm at this specific mission where this guy keeps dissapearing in the crowd, and you have to kill him, that's where I'm currently stuck right now. I haven't picked up the game in a few weeks, but I'm thinking once I get passed that part, I can continue playing through. My buddy really enjoyed Creed 2 and told me to stick with it, but I'm just thinking that my patience is running kind of thin with this game as well. I feel like the fun factor is not how it was in the first game. Let me reiterate, I'M NOT BASHING THE GAME!!!! The graphics are amazing and so is the story, but I guess I could be catching a case of ADD with this game.

I suppose it depends on what you want to get out of the game. For me, I kinda liked that I was constantly getting distracted by sidequests and whatnot. Whats the fun of open-world gaming if you dont go off and do your own thing for a while, ya know?

Upgrading the villa did feel a little contrived, though. It also makes earning money a little too easy.

As far as being stuck goes, I've found that I run into the same 'block' with games every once in a while. I'll come to a part, not be able to complete it on my first few tries, so I run out of patience and start playing something else. Motivation to go back and get 'unstuck' is hard to come by when I know that I've gotta deal with a frustrating part of the game.

Either take a break and try to come back later so the game feels fresher, or just push through the part you're stuck at on the hope that things will get better once you can forward again.

Cool Beans dude, I'm going to give it another go around, I just been playing other games I can jump in and out of quickly (Street Fighter HD Remix, Castle Crashers, Trials HD, et.)


Dude, I really gave it another chance, and I'm done with it, I'm going to start playing something else! I got through the part that was giving me trouble and it's just boring. I enjoyed the first game, but the second is trying to do too much IMO.

Hint for thoughtful discussion: give details about *why* you feel the way you do. Not much to go off of otherwise.

I loved the first game, but I'm just having issues getting into this one. I enjoyed the first part of the game, killing the first couple bosses, but I just can't get into the second one like I did the first game. I'M NOT BASHING THE GAME AT ALL, it's just my personal experience with Creed 2 thus far. Any thoughts? Does anybody else feel this way?

Can you level up your golfer like in 2004? My golfer is currently leveled out at 100 in each category. Does any of the later games have the Trophy Balls, like the Eagle Hunt? I do have a PS3, but I use it for mainly Blu-Rays. I love my first XBOX, and to me it's one of the greatest sytems EVER, IMO.

Of course. Career mode is kind of like an RPG. You don't allocate your stats manually though. When you start, you go through a few drills and depending on how you did, your base stats will be based upon that. Then depending on how you performed in a tournament or other challenge event, your stats go up and down. If you drove long and accurate, your driving stat goes up. Same with putting, short game, etc. Let's say your putting was off in your last round. Your putting stat will actually go down a bit. It's very organic to how you're playing. So there's incentive for taking your time to take better shots. And after some events, you'll have a chance to train some of your skills. If your approach stat is low, these training sessions will help you practice it and boost that stat. A cool thing about these drills and training sessions is that they are hosted by Hank Haney, Tiger's swing coach. And there's extensive customization not just in your appearance, but with your equipment and gear. The more you play, the more money you have to spend on it. And everything can have a stat boost. Like an RPG. A nice putter will give you +1 to your putting stat for example. A nice driver will give you a boost to your driving stat. etc. So if one of your stats is lower than the rest, you can obviously get a piece of equipment or gear (clothes, hats, gloves, balls, shoes) that will help even that skill with the rest of your stats. Then obviously you can take your custom golfer and play with him online or against anyone else locally. It's much more satisfying to use your own created golfer that you've tweaked and made to look like you, rather than the in game golfers. As far as importing your face into the game, it's kind of an involved process, but not that complicated. Although if you pull it off, it's very fun and satisfying to see yourself in the game. You take a front and side picture of yourself and import it on the EA Sports website. You do need an EA account and an Xbox Live account or in your case a PSN account. The EA account is free and it has to be associated with your Live account. Once you import the pictures, you turn on the game and find them there when you create your golfer. You set points on your face, mouth and eyes. Then the game renders a face. It doesn't just plaster your photo to the head. Mine looks pretty good I think. I sometimes have to laugh when I see myself going toe to toe with Tiger.

Dude, you rule, thanks for the awesome response! Thanks for everybody responding to this post. I think I'm going to role with Tiger Woods 06 for the XBOX. I downloaded the demo for Tiger Woods 10 and it was ok, I really wasn't feeling it too much. I still like how the xbox 1 Tiger Woods Play. I just haven't liked the graphics of any of the EA Sports Next Gen Games in regards to how smooth they play. (Fight Night Round 3 and NBA Live 10 was the exception).
