Great Game

This game is definately worth it. It has a different feel to it than Forza 2. Only thing I dont like that they used to have the option to hire a driver in Forza 2, but in this game they took out that option.

Awesome Game

This game made me buy an Xbox 360! I saw a demo and I had to have it. Playing it took a little getting used to the standard controller. I even tried out the wheel and didn't immediately like it very much. Perhaps with a little practice (just like the standard controller) it will become easier. I really like the racing tour and graduating up to better and better cars. It's also fun to just pick a car and a track and have fun. I have been to the real Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway) a million times (sadly never raced there) and the game track is extremely realistic. I actually own a red 08 ZO6 Corvette and I can thrash my exact car around the track (without damaging the real one).
I would definitely recommend.

Fun Co-op game

I have always loved the resident evil games, of course it gets kind of annoying how you can't move and reload at the same time, but that's Resident Evil for you. This is definetly a co-op game, if you have no friends you should not purchase this game. I believe there is no way to play co-op on a single television so you have to convince your friends to buy the game as well so you can play via the internet.

A captivating horror experience

I purchased Modern Warfare 2 within two weeks of this title, and it's good enough that I haven't set it completely aside for MW2. I always liked survival horror, but this game may make me love it. It's so different than everything else out there. I'm not so sure it does anything revolutionary, but it both feels like a real sci-fi AND a real horror experience. I feel like Resident Evil has gotten away from the horror element, and replaced it with action and tension. They are still good games, but there is no substitute for being so on edge about the next creature lurking in a new room, terrifying me to the point that it takes a few MINUTES to inch my way into it. Turn the lights out and the sound up.

Another honorable mention is the implementation of RPG-style character and equipment upgrading. It may sound out of place in a third-person horror game, but trust me, it's not. It keeps me going long into the night. The achievements seem really appropriate to boot, and are fun and challenging  more

Great all around game

for being the sequel to MW, i wasn't too sure if it would live up to expectations. Believe me when i say this, it goes WAY PAST EXPECTATIONS. I love everything about it, the campaign offers 4 difficulties, still making regular challenging. Also the multiplayer rarely lags, and has the best graphics I have ever seen. May not seem like much, but when the glass breaks its looks completely real. I give this game 10/10...a true no brainer.

Game of the Year

This game has done way more than anything you could ever achieve in Assassins Creed.You don't have to go back and get lectured all the time about what to do for the next mission, and Ezio is in a class of his own. Loved Altiar but sorry dude Assassins Creed 2 blows the first one out of the water. Not to mention Desmond got to a better storyline this time around. 5 out of 5 this game is amazing.

I love them! SUGGESTION FOR HDMI!!!!!!!

I bought these yesterday and have noticed a major improvement in my gameplay. I haven't used Turtle Beaches or anything else so I can't compare but I do have a suggestion for anyone who plans to use these with an HDMI cable for your xbox and the people who have complained. If you are using an HDMI cable then your TV obviously has an audio out jack. Hook the cable up to that instead of your xbox and the sound quality is actually better because your tv filters it. This saves you from buying the HD Audio dongle and works just the same plus you can do that and change the source and get audio from whatever source you want.

Flat out the best gaming bundle ever offered!

I've had a 360 pro for 5 years and finally decided i wanted to upgrade to a Elite and put my pro in the bedroom. I put it off and put it off, boy am i glad i did! When i heard about this bundle i got jacked & pre-ordered it right away.

I already had monster component cables for my Pro so i didn't care that it only came with composites, that shouldn't be a deal breaker. Your saving so much on this bundle that you can afford to pick up a HDMI or component.

This bad boy runs so smooth it almost feels like a completely different console, maybe the XBOX 720 ;P The 250 gb hard drive is dope! They charge $170 for a 120gb, so imagine what the 250 gb will run seperately. Then you get 2 controllers & Modern Warfare 2 for just $100 more than the standard elite!

Need i say more? I would highly recomend this to anyone interested in upgrading or just getting a XBOX 360.

Total Media Package

I bought this package because my DVD player finally bit the dust and I have no interest in owning blueray. I'll just never spend north of $20 to have a movie at home, no matter how "great" it is. So it makes for a great upsampling DVD player, no disappointments there. I already had netflix but the xbox made that subscription even more valuable by allowing me to stream netflix on demand. The quality is great and I'm making more use of my netflix account now more than I ever did. Modern Warfare 2 is simply breathtaking, it makes a great first impression and really shows off what this thing can do.

The xbox makes a great platform for content delivery in general. I could easily see Hulu making it's way here and other web content providers. I definitely got more bang for my buck here vs. a PS3. It doesn't replace my Wii, it complements it.

Wireless adaptor

This device comes with a disc to setup the connection. However, I have the Xbox elite and i just plugged it in, entered the WAP password and was connected within minutes. Extremely easy to set up. It's conveniant to have wireless as I move the Xbox between 3 different televisions.

Nice product

Charges battery to full in little time. Batteries then hold charge for a very long time(make sure batteries you are charging are not bad/old before you blame the charger). Seems to have a solid build. Hoping it lasts, only had it 2-3 weeks.
A+ product!

awesome chat-pad

The chat-pad is very easy to use. Its compact but its comfortable on the fingers. It doesn't get in the way when playing the games. The keys are back-lit, it uses the battery from your controller so no need to buy extra batteries. I already had a headset that come with the system so I have an extra one.

Excellent!!

Excellent game with a bunch of different cars, full customization depending on how much you want to tune a car and the graphics shop for pimping out your cars is unreal!!

Best racing game ever

Forget Gran Turismo. Forza is the new king becase of the ability to paint anything on any of your cars. Visit the storefronts to buy designs other people made. The graphics are top notch. This time there's music during the races. The menus are quick to navigate. The races do take some loading so get used to a minute or two of loading. You can also take pictures and upload them to your storefront where you can even download them from the forza website. One other bummer is no lan. no system link. if you plan on using this game for lan play each xbox must have a gold account.

Awesome track racing game

The UI is fresh, but over all provides incremental improvement over Forza 2. I highly recommend the Forza series for track racing and the Project Gotham series for city course racing.

Better...

- This is racing at it's finest. There are a ton of assist that the player can turn on or off (replay, braking, drive lines, stability, etc.). So anyone from a newby to racing to the grizzled veteran of racing will love it.
- They have kept the best tracks from Forza 2 (New York, Maple Valley, etc.) and added a ton more. There are some great new downhill tracks with crazy views.
- This game is beautiful flat out. The cars and tracks are so well designed.
- Gameplay is incredible with season play, race play, quick races, time trials, there are a ton of modes to enjoy.
- And the famous car design, graphics are back and better then ever. You can customize every car in your garage, then share them on line or buy/sell/trade them to other drivers.
- As perfect of a racing game as you can get. Play as an arcade or as a simulator.

Awesome blend of FPS and RPG

If you like a little sprinkle of RPG thrown in with your FPS, this is your game!
Set in the Mad-Max world of Pandora, Borderlands provides an interesting story along with character development. Make no mistake, though; Borderlands is first and foremost a shooter.
The damage model is a bit odd at times, though. You can shoot a target multiple times with a rocket launcher without killing it, but a slight tap of the vehicle bumper makes it go splat.

Fun Run Through

I got this game for about 13 bucks. For that price it is a well worth a quick run through! Sure the AI is dumb, but who cares when you are just running through the game quickly. Plenty of interesting moments for a cheap game. Also very beautiful and stylistic! I'd say don't pay more than 15 bucks for it, but I'm cheap :)

Unimpressive Overall

The fighting part of the game is solid. Probably better than solid: its classic Tekken with lots and lots of subtle detail, moves, and fighters to choose from. They didn't reinvent the wheel but if you like the other Tekkens you will like this.

That said, unlocking costumes and endings can only be done by wasting time on a terrible story mode. It is much worse than say, Double Dragon on the NES. Also, upon release the netcode makes online play almost impossible. It really does lag horribly over 50% of the time. 5/5 bars for connection is no more or less likely to lag than 1/5 bars. They say a patch is coming out but I would look up what folks say about the patch before I bought into the idea of online being fixed.

Different, but not bad

I love and hate how hard it is. You have a squad of 4 guys and have to really use them in order not to get killed every turn you take. If you get shot in the arm you can eventually bleed out, get shot in the body you will bleed out faster and usually go to the ground and have to call for a medic. The easiest way to play it is online so that you have real people flanking and shooting at enemies. The AI of your squad in single player is lacking.

Give it an A-, only for the AI being not so smart. Would recommend!
