Summary: Great sound!
Review: A few years ago i bought a sound blaster audigy gamer and a set of creative inspiration 4400 4.1s. I got it and installed it and i was happy. Last month my mom got me the Audigy 2 ZS Gamer. It came with 5 games, 4 of them awesome. (tomb Raider not so good). I plug it in and fireup itunes. WOW. Reviews ive read have said that it is not to big an improvement over the Audigy. It is. Now im getting a new set of speakers to complement it.

Summary: good solid card though I did not get Jedi Academy
Review: I have had little compatiblity problems with this card on games. Of course I have a top of the line computer from Falcon that is tweeked to perfection. On my other PC with the Audigy 2 I noticed that my 6.1 setting would revert to the primative 2.0 setting in some games, but that is no longer a problem with this card using the 6.1 speaker setting. I have not tried 7.1 yet as I am still raising funds for the Gigaworks speakers(aka robbing banks, bashing the heads of stupid rich people, steeling corperate info, ect.;).
This card does not come with Jedi Academy as the other reviewer said, however. I have been wanting that game and only wish it did! The only complaint I have with this card is that it does little to position sounds properly in some games. I cannot get the speech to come through the center speaker only other sounds but that is the game's fault I think. If you have EAX 3 on a game it will not position sound accurately, you must have an EAX 4 compatible game. Knights of the Old Republic does not position speech through the center channel for instance. My old card(Audigy 2) positioned sound perfectly.

Summary: Awesome value.... Can't beat the price and features...
Review: I was going to pick up the regular Audigy 2 for about fifteen to twenty dollars less but when I looked at the bundle that came with this it was impossible to turn down.I received the games (all full versions as indicated). The training tutorials on the game CDs are pretty good, which was a relief because as expected no manuals for the games. Picked this up with a T7700 sound system and Far Cry (awesome game) if you have a very solid PC to run it... I am playing it at max settings with my new Geforce 6800 OC and the graphics are simply amazing. By picking up the sound card, T7700 speakers and Far Cry I also get fifty later to spend on Doom 3 and a fifteen dollar rebate on the T7700 speakers... Can't beat this deal and the whole package is a very solid deal for high quality sound...
