"This game is not very challenging, but it is a beautiful work of art. The story is mostly well-written, compelling, well-acted and definitely plays proper homage to the film noir genre. The effort that went into (re)creating a very sizable chunk of 1940s LA is astonishing. The soundtrack is superb. Strangely, the detailed facial models for which the game is known are very impressive with some characters, but downright terrible with others."

"This game is typically highly regarded but I don't understand why. There was nothing about the game I liked."

"Pretty great driving game. You can drive dozens of cars and motorcycles. Wide variety of tracks in many cities. Lots of modes. Great graphics. Kind of difficult, at least to me. Lots of replay value."

"It's really only worth 3.5 stars, but since GR doesn't allow half stars, I'll be generous. I was a big fan of the last Area 51 on original Xbox. This game is nowhere near as good in terms of story or voice acting, but it is still a fun, not too difficult squad-shooter."

"Very disappointing."

"Sigh. Every Tiger Woods game since 2005 has been a major let down for me. The graphics keep getting better, but the rest of the game keeps getting worse. Other than being able to play Augusta for the first time in a video game, there is nothing appealing in this game. Oh and the caddie is really annoying."

"There isn't much wrong with this game. It is fun, original, funny, well-acted, and fair. Chapters 2 and 3 can be somewhat tedious after a while, but the payoff is eventually delivered and it is worth the wait."

"When I first started playing this game I liked it a lot. That didn't last. One thing's for sure, this game is pretty original. Unfortunately, it's originality doesn't necessarily make it great and actually wears thin real quick. It is a combination of Japanese RPG with some platform action sequences. It is very preachy, and somewhat frustrating. This game would be better if all the RPG elements were stripped out and just the platform sequences remained. Would make a decent Xbox Arcade game."

"This is a war/shooter/rpg game. You control two players at once: a sniper and a heavy gunner. The game isn't particularly better or worse than others in the genre, yet for some reason I enjoyed this game much more than any other. I typically find these games quite boring but this one kept me engaged almost to the very end. I liked the banter between the two characters and other NPCS."

"Cool game. Refreshing graphic style, nice soundtrack. Good combination of platforming and puzzle solving. Later levels are somewhat tedious."

"Wow, did this game bring back memories. This is a "re-imagined", as they say nowadays, version of what was a great Amiga game, done by the same company that originally put it out. They don't make games like this anymore. It is basically an isometric 3D shooter/rpg/adventure game which borrows liberally from many great sci-fi movies."

"Good game, but unbelievably buggy. Weapons aren't as powerful as the same ones in Fallout 3. NPCs are more interesting and better voiced."
