COPIES COMMENTS
 Sports: This game has a very attractive
 price point and no direct competition on
 PS, making it a good impulse buy.
 Racing: The latest in the best-selling
 series faces more competition from
 NASCAR licensed games, but it has a
 great reputation with hardcore garners.
 Action: This first-person shooter should
 sell beyond its niche hardcore gaming
 audience thanks to Clive Barker's active
 involvement.
 Strategy: This game should appeal to core
 Trekkies and old-school strategy fans,
 but the license won't attract casual
 gainers due to the game's complexities.
 Adventure: Based on a French cartoon
 this quirky point-and-click PC-style
 adventure isn't likely to sell or rent
 very well on DC or PC.
 Adventure: This PS2 version of the
 solid-selling DC game faces no adventure/
 horror competition on PS2. Solid
 marketing will help.
 Action: This popular license has spawned
 three home videos and a TV series.
 Sony will back the game with solid marketing.
 Racing: This little racer enters a crowded
 PC genre with little marketing and huge
 brand-name awareness. It should be a
 moderate seller at best.
 Action: This version of the best-selling
 PC game offers military strategy and
 action. Great brand and solid marketing
 support
 Racing: This racer features the Antz from
 the film. EA's brand name and recognizable
 characters should make this a good
 impulse buy.
