Review summary: Co-op = this game is fun and addicting

Verdict: This is one of the most disappointing games I've played in a while. With a few small tweaks and additions here and there, CoD would have been a much better game. Offline co-op alone would make it awesome.

Review summary: Can the hack-‘n'-slash genre come good, or is this too much of the same?

Verdict: It may draw in a few non-RPG fans, but for the most part this is for those who can put up with mash, bash, mash and then, errr, bash! Disappointing would be a good word to sum it up.

Review summary: If you go down to the woods today, you-d better make sure you-re well armed-With a ring of fire and a rawk soundtrack intro that even Nickleback would be embarrassed to pin their name to, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom could be mistaken for a very...

Review summary: We've all heard the saying that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I think we've all experienced games that, while flawed in many areas, seem to provide a fun experience in the end. And yet, I believe this is the first time in my life that...

Verdict: So in the final analysis, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom takes a bunch of decently designed aspects and mangles them into an unfun experience. While it's very possible that there's more fun to be had playing with friends, I'm sure that the 360 has...

Review summary: Doom, and id games in general, never placed much emphasis on a story, and Doom 3 is no different. Doom 3 is actually supposed to be a remake of the first Doom game with more of an emphasis placed on story this time around, but it's still very simple...

Verdict: I knew placing the bulk of the gameplay on horror was a bad idea from the start, but it really doesn’t help Doom 3 in any way. I honestly didn’t find Doom 3 scary in the slightest, playing in the dark, adding to the mood did nothing for me, yet I was...

Review summary: For most gamers Doom was their first experience with online multiplayer gaming. I still remember blowing my friends' minds the first time I showed them that four people could play the same game while on separate PCs. Their SNES sure couldn't do that!...

Verdict: Doom plays quite well in single player on the 360 thanks to tight controls, crisp (but definitely dated) graphics, and a smooth frame rate. Split screen is also flawless and it’s a blast to play with four people in the same room. The Xbox Live...

Review summary: Now, I personally was a fan of the Kingdom Under Fire series on the Xbox and was excited to hear that a third game in the series was going to appear on the 360. However, this new addition to the series has taken a step towards a different path from...

Verdict: Despite the major changes to the game that we have already seen, there are a few minor ones. In the other two games, you entered battle to the sounds of some awesome rock music that added to the chaotic battles. In Circle of Doom, we find that the...

Review summary: Series vets will recognize a few familiar faces to control during the course of the game. Five stars return to offer unique individual paths and story-arches specifically for each one. Players will get the chance to control Duane, Leinhart, Celine,...

Verdict: The multiplayer actually makes the repetitiveness of the combat a little bit more engaging if you play online. Over Xbox Live you can hook up with three other players to engage in four-person co-op where you can utilize all of your powers together to...

Review summary: A decent game in it's own right, but fails to bring anything new to the hack-and-slash genre.

Verdict: A little back story would work wonders in giving gamers and idea of what kind of world they are stepping into when they boot up KuF. The bad news is, one isn't provided. In actuality, there is a prologue you can view from the title screen. For those...

Review summary: Lets get down to the good parts and that is well-designed enemies, Interesting, and you can play up to four people in Co-op. Now some bad parts, action is repetitive the same over and over. The camera view constantly gets in the way and the story is...

Verdict: Circle of Doom can be played offline, or you can join up to three other others cooperatively; and like many similar games, the gameplay benefits from the addition of others. This is most apparent with some of the wearisome, often torturous boss...

Review summary: Mindless fantasy hack and slash for those with nothing better to play.

Review summary: This could have been a good game if it wasn't for the hard to follow story and repetitive gameplay, as it takes away the incentive to play the game through again with the other heroes.

Review summary: Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is one of the best worst games of the last couple of years. Almost every aspect of the game seems to have been mailed in by a development team of two people. The gameplay is repetitive, the level design -- while...

Verdict: This game deserves to be hammered for being a shoddy, stinking pile. But on the other hand, it also has a strange PSO-like allure that beckons you back for just one more loot run. The co-op online mode is actually fairly fun, but a game-breaking voice...

Review summary: Doom is probably one of the few games to hit the Xbox Live Arcade that surprised almost everyone. Fortunately, it was a pleasant surprise, because id software's classic game is as fun as ever.

Review summary: It is amazing to see what transformations a videogame series can take on over the time period of a few years; action games become shooters and RPGs become strategy games. For fans of the Kingdom Under Fire (Crusaders and Heroes) on the original Xbox...

Verdict: There are six (five from the start) different playable characters in the game, each with their own unique storyline, or lack thereof. Also each different character has his/her own unique set of attacks, special abilities, and weaknesses. For example...

Review summary: Kingdom of Fire: Circle of Doom is a departure for both the Kingdom Under Fire series as well as Korean developer Blueside, which has developed or co-developed nearly every game in the series. What began as a tactical RTS on the PC and later the...

Verdict: Unless you are hard up for a four-player cooperative play game or are just a dungeon-crawler fanatic that loves slaughtering thousands of enemies for loot to pimp out your character, this game is probably going to seem as painful and unwelcome as a...

Review summary: Here we are. 2006. We've seen the arrival of HD gaming with massive special effects and disgustingly high polygon counts. We're spending $400 on game consoles that have wireless capabilities and hundreds of times the processing power of computers from...

Verdict: This would have been a ho-hum port of a game that's already been ported to at least a dozen platforms over the years, but it's DOOM's online action which really makes it soar. With the classic look, sound, and feel intact (notwithstanding the 360...

Review summary: The Kingdom Under Fire series has always had something of a following. Understandably so; the quite-sophisticated-actually RTS melded with entertaining hack and slash combat has always been a winning combination. Circle of Doom takes a slightly...

Review summary: DOOM's got a nice little place in my heart as the first real online game to keep me up late nights with friends. I've played online games before on my Amiga but nothing like DOOM. When DOOM came out of nowhere and hit the Xbox Live Arcade, I was pretty...

Verdict: When it's on, it's damn fun. Single player is ok but playing co-op with three others is a blast.. when the lag is minimized.
