Disney's Tarzan Freeride, Sony Playstation

A considerable amount of time after the hit release of Disney's Tarzan in the cinemas, Ubi Soft has finally released Tarzan Freeride, a combination of classic platforming and primitive extreme sports. Developed for PlayStation 2, this is by far the most advanced and desirable of the Tarzan games to date. The story in Freeride is very similar to its big screen counterpart and involves Tarzan and a variety linguistically-accomplished primates. Hmm. Like the vast majority of PS2 games, Freeride looks stunning. The environments, although mostly different shades of green, are stunningly rendered in full 3D, and populated by a bestiary of friendly and hostile inhabitants. Watch out for those crocodiles! When getting into the game proper, players are advised to listen out for the game's plot; it helps to drive the progression of the game better than most. You will initially begin in a forest area that is played in linear format, Crash Bandicoot-style. Running into the screen, you will learn how to jump, climb, swing and slide across the huge environment. As you progress, the same moves are required of you, but in faster, more frequent movements. The first level is a kind of tutorial that helps to player get to grips with what is to come. Before long, you will be riding the rapids on floating logs and saving lives. It's light-hearted fun that gets the pulse racing. All of the above, tied in with a series of Time Attack and skill-based challenges makes for a great game that provides many hours of gameplay.

Aggressive Inline
That's Inline Skating, by the way. Sorry to disappoint those who were looking for something along the lines of Massacre at the Benefits Office or some kind of Line-Dancing-cum-shoot-em-up game. Maybe next time. Inline skating has been somewhat overlooked in favour of skateboarding, in video games as in real life. Acclaim is determined to put the balance right with Aggressive Inline. Skaters, start...
The Thing
It's been twenty years since John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing. It scared people back then and it's still scaring them now.

When a military rescue team arrives to investigate the deaths of the members of ...
Bloody Roar 4
The Romans happened upon a good idea two and a half thousand years ago. After spending a few centuries pillaging and exploring they realised three things: 1. We have a lot of enemies 2. It doesn't matter, we are miles harder than the lot of them 3. The world is full of massive dangerous animals By combining these facts, a very distinct idea emerged. As the Romans were miles harder than everyone el...
PaRappa the Rapper 2
The original PlayStation version of Parappa the Rappa won widespread critical acclaim for its high playability and originality. Based on the new classic rhythm and action formula, surely now an accepted genre in itself, where only accurate and well-timed button presses are necessary. Parappa now moves onto the PlayStation 2 with all of the incredible visual upgrades that the format offers. If you'...

You control Scrubby and it is your task to train the Norns so that they can control the ...
F1 04
Bigger, better and faster. Year on year, every Formula One venture or update seems to claim this. For brand new F1 games, this is a bold statement, but for series well known to the gaming public, improvement is the least that can be expected from the latest sequel. Sony's F1, previously a renowned Psygnosis offering, is perhaps the most popular of the genre, and the addition of F1 04 on PS2 raises...
