I got this game as a gift and can safely say it's one of the worst, most dull and uninteresting waste of a game I've ever had the displeasure of playing.
You really gotta work on expressing your true feelings about stuff kami...you keep too much bottled up inside! :p ;)

I HIGHLY recommend that people either rent or check out a playable demo of ANY game they are thinking about buying before plunking down their cold hard.

Wreckless does have some issues, and it may not be for everybody...but something about it hooked me and hooked me big time.

i haven't played it myself, but i want to now.
gamespot gave buffy the most underrated game or something to that effect.
EB actually had a deal for $9.99, but i missed out on it and only caught the terminator game at $9.99.
terminator sucked, but luckily i just traded it in with Maximo (ps2) for a reserved copy of DOAX BV at gamestop for $2.99 (tax only) out of my pocket come next tuesday. (i got lucky and got $25 credit per game, don't ask cuz i don't know ^^ lucky i guess)

there's a thread over in hot deals regarding it. trade in 2 games and 9.99 for one of 4 titles. sorry no link, too tired and lazy to look it up. just bring 2 of your old non sporting games to gamestop and ask them about the $9.99 + 2 trade ins for a game. too bad you can't get PD Orta out if it

I would go with Buffy as most underrated game out there. Seems like nobody talked about it at all, and although I haven't played it yet (still trying to finish Splinter Cell) I did pick it up at EB during the $9.99 sale and that's queued up right after Mechassault (another game I haven't started yet).

Is there any Live enabled racing games yet other than MotoGP? Now that would be fun!

This needs to be added to the Xbox hot deals thread. Where did you buy it???

For some odd reason...I just don't enjoy the Xbox games...I bought an Xbox about 4 months ago and played Halo, NBA, DOA3, Project Gotham racing, Madden and a few others and haven't enjoyed any of them....I really liked my old Dreamcast games much more.

Maybe I'm not much of the console gamer anymore....I'd rather play anything online with my PC now..

Someone just posted in the BIG LIST that he found FIFA 2002 for $15 on closeout at Target. As with all Target deals, YMMV.

So you haven't tried Live, have you?

Tight! I'm there!

By the way... I wanna check out the Sam's Club deals. Do you know how that works if you don't have a membership? (i.e., do you just pay a surcharge?)

Go to the Service Desk and I think they hook you up with a Visitor's Pass.

Best to just find a friend who has a membership and go in with them.
KIM that the friend will have to be the one pay for everything when you check out.
