    The imaginative use of the tricorder for exploration and the wonderful assortment of enemy creatures are high points for me, and the multiplayer portion is impeccable.

    The addition of the double-barreled shotgun, grabber, and artifact, the introduction of the ominous Hunter bosses, and the injection of a multiplayer capture-the-flag mode all significantly enhance the gameplay in this title.

    Additional equipment and spells are nice, and the characters are now much more versatile, but design and pacing problems abound.

    For its audience of hardcore sim flyers, Warbirds III is quite a solid game, and probably worth the monthly investment for those who can afford it.

    A great addition to the survival horror genre. It's got good (if complex) controls, decent visuals and the backing of a terrific license.

    Enough new material to justify the price tag for fans, but not for dilettantes who haven't played Neverwinter Nights since completing it the first time around.

    A great game with cool visuals and sound, terrifically fun action and classic Duke Nukem attitude blazing from the gun barrels.

    The tactical wargame that remains, however, is simplistic and underdeveloped.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The short life span of the single-player campaign and the lack of any outstanding features make this offering falter when compared to other first-person shooters like "Halo" and "Timesplitters 2."

    While the gameplay here is still incredibly engaging, if you have the first release there is no really compelling reason to upgrade.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This title falls short of being a blockbuster simply because it doesn't offer enough. There isn't enough play variety and not nearly enough tracks.

    Delivers an exceptional experience...The graphics are top-notch, the controls are easy to manipulate, and the combat is quick and intense on both foot and dragon back.

    Advanced players and long time fans of "Starfleet Battles" will rue the simplifications of the rule set, though the great sense of online community still remains.

    Earth 2150 has without a doubt escaped the dull shadow of its predecessor to emerge as a well-crafted, highly complex and beautiful game.
    • 78 Metascore

    Loses ground with an inferior scaling system and limited use of large scale structures and ships, which negatively impact its graphics and gameplay scores.

    FAKK 2 has a wonderful lead character in Julie Strain, and she's no doubt destined to overtake Lara Croft as the leading lady of gaming.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While its short length and lack of character development leave much to be desired, the multiplayer feature more than makes up for the diminished gameplay, adding to the replay value.

    In the end this product will satisfy only fans absolutely desperate for driving in the dirt.
    • 78 Metascore

    Despite stylish graphics and fun gameplay, the lack of any revolutionary concepts coupled with the short play time means potential buyers should pass up Luigi in favor of other GameCube launch titles.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Fast, fun and absolutely worth owning. Multiple level types, fairly intelligent and lovingly rendered boss characters, and lots of hidden areas help flesh out this package even further.
    • 77 Metascore

    This new release is a credible and equally enjoyable alternative to the excellent "RollerCoaster Tycoon," with both having distinctly different purposes and assets.

    The improvements primarily in graphics and sound in Grand Prix 4 do not seem worth the huge increases in computer power necessary to run the title smoothly.
    • 77 Metascore

    Its full campaign, enhanced multiplayer mode and updated graphics are definite pluses, while the unconventional warfare storyline makes Resistance a unique offering.

    The AI in this game failed to impress me. It was not bad, but I thought it would have presented more of a challenge.

    It’s a satisfying strategic adventure if you have the persistence to overcome its quirks and nuances, but it’ll frustrate you senseless if you don’t want it bad enough.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good title if you’re serious about your strategy games. Casual strategic commanders and those that think the sun rises and sets over "Age of Mythology" and the like probably won’t see the draw or attraction.

    While it ventures into new territory,it does so in an interesting way.

    Players looking to enjoy some wild arcade style longball, or at least a combination of the two approaches, can’t go wrong with Midway’s latest.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A strategic tour de force. The graphics fit the theme and setting, the gameplay is deep, challenging and rewarding, and there’s enough variation between warfare, economics, and diplomacy to suit most players’ personal styles. The replay potential is mammoth.

    A triumph of mediocrity.
