Doomed from the Start,
By Marc Ruby™ "The Noh Hare™" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Xbox Action Replay (Video Game)
I'm an unabashed cheater. I like having infinite health so that I can sail into a series of moves repeatedly without getting whacked by my own clumsiness. Or recovering that lost object that I accidentally blew up when I fragged the castle. On many occasions, being able to hack the game has enhanced my overall enjoyment. Unfortunately, the Xbox was designed to stop cheating. Not cheating at the game, but cheating as in hacking and illegally copying games. As a result, it is impossible to bypass the code logic in order to insert some instructions that change game data in an active way. The end result is that they have stopped all cheating. A company like Action Replay is only left with one alternative - providing game saves that will get you by a playing problem. Unfortunately, this generally means that you don't get to actually play through parts of the game. So. At best, this is a compromise solution. One I can't get all that excited about. Cheating is OK. But not playing the game the way you want to is counter productive. This package includes a CD with software for both the Xbox and you Windows 98 or better PC (required). Included is an 8 megabyte memory cartridge and a USB based cartridge holder for the PC. Basically you collect saved games from either the CD or online, install them on the cartridge and then tote it over to the Xbox, where you can use it. Before you get a glint in your eye about file editing, let it be known that the software uses a compression scheme that can be uncompressed, but will not work if it is recompressed. Hopefully, some underhanded hacker will find a way around this, but right now this is a lowest common denominator type solution. And not a particularly useful one. 37 of 42 people found the following review helpful

Disappointing...but there's a reason,
By Christian Wheeler "Husband/Father/Gamer/Proud... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Xbox Action Replay (Video Game)
Like many other reviewers, I was hoping for something more in-depth than community saves and the occasional modification. But as I later found out, this item's shortcomings aren't entirely Intec's fault. As many XBox gamers know, there are very, very few codes and cheats available for XBox games, so this product was limited from the outset. Unlike the PS2 Action Replay, this one does not come with any pre-loaded codes. Instead, one has to use a USB-equipped port (complete with a memory card that is, unfortunately, only good for this purpose) and some accompanying software to go to codejunkies.com and download community saves and some mods. One can play as a Hunter in Halo, for example, or download the gamesave of someone who's beaten the game on Legendary mode. There are a few good mods, such as the Datel Mech on MechAssault, and some games have available codes, such as Star Wars: Obi-Wan. Many of the saves are fairly large; oftentimes one can only fit one or two downloads on the card before it is full. (At that point, take it to your XBox, download the saves to the hard drive, and go back for more). The biggest problem with this product (aside from the lack of codes) is the codejunkies site: There are so many gamesaves that it becomes extremely frustrating trying to figure out which ones are worthwhile. As it is, I cannot recommend this item...but should Microsoft ever make codes available for download, this may redeem itself. Until then, it is not worth your money.

A mediocre product... or just a face?,
By Pete "Zahut" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Xbox Action Replay (Video Game)
Anyone who is buying this product for themselves, not for someone else, has probably played xbox live. So, most likely, they have played Halo 2, and been amazed by the "modders." It is true, action replay is a fun product, but only a mere novelty. The real implementation, as doubtless others have said, is to softmod your xbox. For those who don't know, softmodding is a way to use your xbox as a mini-computer; you can gain access to files on the xbox games, and put them on your real computer. This allows you to change the game, almost however you feel like, and not physically modify anything on or around the xbox. And action replay provides a service that matches exactly what you need to the t. It gives you a disk to install the program, a program to easily access files, an online community to give you those files, and a nice little card to put it on and transfer to your xbox. If you are not planning to do this, get someone else to buy it. If you are thinking of modding, this is the way to go.
