    With it’s own unique cast of characters, it has managed to provide a fun experience without innovating the FPS genre or even its own franchise.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    I simply know that as a total package there is no game on the planet that can captivate me more than THPS3 and for many hours on end no less.

    The developers at Ubisoft are obviously Batman fans because they’ve made a game that sticks close to the source material while weaving a solid story and giving gamers a chance to play an episode of The Animated Series.

    It comes onto the handheld relatively intact, and the controls are solid, providing a fun, but certainly not perfect, experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The game does present a lot of action and is sure to entertain gamers for at least a week or two, but in the long term, the game will unlikely enter the classic status of vanilla ice cream.

    A technical masterpiece...One of the most impressive aspects of the game is the sheer massive geographical completeness of the environment combined with the overall sense of freedom and open-ended goodness.

    • 77 Critic Score
    With nice graphics and a storyline you don't mind following with a likeable hero, Prehistorik Man is a GBA title that has a lot going for it even though it follows the tried-and-true path of the 16-bit platform game to a "T".
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A fairly satisfying gaming experience... that goes for deeper strategy – actual gameplay! – rather than a flashy package.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Between the highly customizable weapons and armor, the four warrior fighting dynamic, and the general joys to be had hacking all manner of demons to ribbons, there are plenty of reasons to give this game a whirl.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There is no real choice or variation however, as gamers must exhaust all the dialogue options before they are able to stop talking to someone.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Fortunately, although the naming scheme has strayed from tradition, the gameplay is exactly what you expect of Mario Kart.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Between the somewhat overly complicated nature of the game and the slow, dull battles there just wasn't a lot to get excited about in the game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It’s got a great setting, suitable music, familiar characters, and enough challenge for the stoutest player. However, if you’re easily frustrated you may want to think before making this purchase.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It’s slick, entertaining, and fun to watch – just like any good action movie. I recommend it, especially for John Woo, Matrix fans, and those that want a mouse pad that comes with a game!
    • 80 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Looks great, tactics work, easy interface and camera, and the ability to easily customize your ‘Mech load-out all add up to a solid game.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Better physics, smarter opponents, and a huge leap in its visual presentation make GT3 a racer well worth playing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    If you are a big fan of the Star Trek universe and revel in the details and strategy involved in knowing the many races and ships and how to use them in battle, then Orion Pirates is the game for you.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It doesn't go above and beyond, but the expansion pack gets the job done and that's just fine as it is still a very entertaining little romp.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    But as a PC game that feels like a port, especially with the save game method, it’s only good not great or excellent.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The story is tight, the gameplay and flow of the game is familiar, but still an improvement over past offerings, and there is more goodies than you can shake a stick at this time too.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Those strategists who want to work on their battlefield commanding ability will enjoy this game more than people whose greatest thrill is decimating an enemy with an unstoppable force.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The interface and environment are familiar, the locations interesting, the controls easy to learn, and the challenge good.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Simple gameplay that can stay entertaining for a long period of time. You can't really ask for much more from it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Looking good doesn’t hurt the game, but it’s RA’s accessibility that makes it a game that every fan of platform gaming should have. There’s a sense of fun about RA.

    My overall experience with Mario Advance was a good one even though it lacks originality. It’s a blast from the past – the control even feels the same – and it brought back some fond gaming memories.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Clearly aimed at locomotive enthusiasts and hardcore simmers. If you fall into those two categories, you’ll not be disappointed.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It’s got some good-looking graphics, is easily accessible since it relies on convention, and enough challenge for young and old.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The graphics and animation are first rate.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    I enjoyed playing Echelon. The environments look great, the action is fast, and most of the missions can be taken on the third or fourth try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Expect to get some enjoyment out of Air Command 3.0, especially if you're tired of Solitaire.
