Not intended for those with moderate experience with sidescrollers.

It's not dramatically different from the original but, man, is it fun. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is a title every GameCube owning shooter fan should have.

After I beat the game I almost cried. Not from disappointment however, because the ending was great and it gave a great conclusion to the epic trilogy.

Takes the Sims series in a new and good direction.

Has its ups and downs, but overall it plays like a mediocre platformer.

Both a triumph for Eyetoy gaming and a great tease for the future. Just getting past using the EyeToy to put the player on-screen is a marvelous innovation.

Those shut-ins or people with a raging case of obsessive-compulsive disorder will be the only ones to accomplish all the tasks.

You name it, Halo 2 does it at an A+ level: wonderfully improved visuals, a solidly engaging and well-scripted storyline (with an unexpected sense of humor intermixed with the strong religious overtones), good voice-acting, splendidly ear-pleasing orchestral music, and the coup de grace, exciting online play.

But a New York City-sized upgrade to the visual presentation along with the inclusion of mini-games and more focused, goal-oriented gameplay should appeal to the urban-centric Sims fans that prefer console action to the PC.

Ironically, the loading screen is a subway tunnel; you probably could get to the next level by a real subway quicker than the time it takes to load.

Great control, fun, lots of stuff to do and solid tennis? Mario Power Tennis is a great game even for those that don't generally like tennis unless Anna Kournikova is playing.

It’s no GTA but it’s a nice change. If you’re really itching for a good sci-fi game with a good sense of humor, then look no further.

When a game's so hard that playing becomes more of a chore than enjoyment and the online gameplay that could have made up for the extremely taxing single-player mode doesn't even work the way it should, not too many gamers are going to give it a fair chance unless they're a uber geek that thrives on the computer-related features of TRON 2.0 Killer App.

Multiplayer was touted to be the biggest addition to the franchise and it does not disappoint.

At least in WCP, when players get tired of beating up on the poor A.I., they can play some Blackjack or Video Poker to pass the time.

Your allies are invulnerable for some reason, but that doesn't make them any more useful.

As you get on in the game, the tedium of doing the same thing over and over again wears thin, and you'll be left wanting something more.

As far as audio goes, the game is a mixed bag of licensed music.

Misses the mark slightly by adding a couple of things that don't work quite as well they could have.

There are a lot better music action titles out there.

If you want a taste of fighting in the Guilty Gear universe, skip this title, and get "Guilty Gear X2" instead.

What makes this game a real standout, though, is its production value.

Texas Hold 'Em Poker is much more sparse with no licensing and very little to distinguish it from a PC shareware title.

The addition of an onscreen map also makes exploration helpful, and you have to wonder why they didn't implement this mode in the main game.

An overall average enjoyable experience ' a little more enjoyable if you enjoyed the film and are in the pre-teen demographic.

The Bard is a poor close-in fighter, but he also sucks with ranged weapons. Luckily, he has friends.

Only the graphical bugs, slow-down and other nit picks associated with the fact that the game is pushing the aging PS2 to its limits keeps this from being the first perfect entry into the series.

If the overhead perspective doesn't frighten you off, Grand Theft Auto Advance is a good GTA game to take on the road.
