A polished 2D fighting game that won't disappoint the core audience of Tekken fans, but one that's also accessible enough for those simply looking for a well-made fighting game to play on the go.

A memorable but brief stay in feudal Japan with a quest that could be finished within six or seven hours.

The game is more akin to a single episode of an interactive cartoon than a fully fleshed-out experience worthy of a full price purchase.

Despite an extra year in development, Konami's game is still not quite ready for prime time.

The sheer innovation of this new direction in gameplay shows the developers at Lionhead to be very creative thinkers and is worth the acquisition of the game by itself.

The current system is too cumbersome for an action-oriented game, and the inability to save anywhere only makes things even more frustrating.

For first-person shooter fans, the ten hours you spend with Allied Assault will be most satisfactory. Nazis are fun and rewarding to kill, the missions offer diverse action, and the graphics are first rate.

A solid but bland first-person shooter with no in-depth story or sense of fun to elevate it above any other GBA game in the genre.

Unfortunately, the flaws, especially in the more difficult battle scenarios, make the idea of replaying somewhat moot.

While the options aren’t as extensive as those found in "Madden NFL 2002," and the graphics aren’t as optimized for the console as "NFL Fever’s," NFL 2K2 features the most complete presentation of any football game released to date.

The tight integration of visuals, sound and vibration feedback is an accomplishment, but the player has unfortunately been left out of the loop.

A majority of time is spent going slowly to eliminate the threats before they close in on you. Spread this out over a few hours and your fingers won’t be the only things numb from the experience.

The added scenario is fun but short, taking roughly one hour to complete. Yet the main scenario's graphics, storyline, bosses, and mysterious atmosphere are big plusses, and there are several times when you’ll find the hairs tingling on the back of your neck.

A big disappointment. While there is potential here for a great game, it lacks the depth, production values, and fun associated with a quality Star Wars title.

A collection of mediocre to annoying titles that are over within minutes.

The most visually impressive role-playing game yet released, with meticulous character models offering dynamic facial expressions and breathtaking cut-scenes seamlessly integrated into gameplay.

Doesn't feel like the return of a classic game so much as a poorly executed retread of a tired one.

The game is preferable to the PS2 version as it has noticeably smoother frame rates and quicker load times, as well as the ability to Quick Save at any point.

Unfortunately, any promise of a good game is hindered by the insistence that your car explode in a fiery crash nearly every time you come in contact with another vehicle.

Even if the overall experience is a bit too short, the length to which it goes to inspire some real John Woo-style gunplay and adrenaline is impressive and definitely deserves praise.

Unfocused and strictly average. By trying to be too many things at once, it ends up excelling at none.

While it would have been nice to see some new play mechanics introduced or more bosses to fight (only three are in the entire game), most will have a hard time putting the controller down.

Your worst enemy is not the Dark Side but the simple act of trying to jump from one platform to another. The isometric perspective makes it difficult to judge distance and position, and the actual act of jumping is marred by touchy controls.

It has some serious flaws in the gameplay that ultimately keep it from joining the ranks of the truly inspired wrestling titles.

The title is barely playable in its current form, as each new game reveals a new bug or glitch in the rules, gameplay, or presentation.

The perfect sequel. It gives us more of what we want while not changing the heart of the gameplay too much.

The combination of action, treasure seeking, and character development is highly reminiscent of that other hit PC role-playing game, "Diablo II," with 3D graphics that go far beyond Blizzard's 2D beauty.

The short length is the only serious flaw in an otherwise original and gratifying gaming experience.
