Grabs you by the funny bone and tender parts and body slams your senses right from the start, and if you just don't love that little guy the first time you lay eyes on him, you're just too jaded.

This is one of those budget games that will make pretty much anyone that remembers any of these machines smile and dive in for a few hours at a time, while the rest of you shrug and go back to that "Halo 2" deathmatch.

Except for the slow first few hours of the game and an occasionally annoying camera, MGS 3 is damn near a perfect game.

Warts and all, the game has got more than enough depth in its customization to keep fans busy for quite a while.

The fighting mechanics are highly outdated and just don't reach to the heights of something like "VF4."

If there had been offline multiplayer support, the score would've been higher for the game.

The game has great sound work overall with most of the US voice cast lending their talent to the game for that extra air of Dragon Ball authenticity.

Part throwback to the good old days of Nintendo RPGs, part innovative gameplay, and all stylishly presented throughout the 50 or so hours you'll get out of it.

Now, when I talk about how Call of Duty is "Halo" in World War II, all the similarities are there. You can only hold two weapons at a time, along with grenades; health seems to be damn near endless.

NFSU2 feels like a much fuller game than its predecessor most of the time, but there is still that feeling in the back of my head saying that the free-roaming world is nothing more than an interactive menu interface.

Every aspect of the game has improved and that's saying a lot seeing as the first game was so brilliant.

If Jerry Springer were given a computer and the technical expertise it took to make a video game, this would be his masterpiece.

A truly fantastic game that is without a doubt the best game in the series. However, it is disappointing that the control and camera problems from the last game weren't fixed, and the new focus on vehicles was too overemphasized for my liking.

Once you deal with the precise setup requirements, there’s a great game here, and although it’s not an incredibly deep gameplay experience, the overall fun factor is off the charts.

The game is fantastic, minus that damn draw distance problem. How could they let such a small problem like that surface up? Things can look really good, but the texture swapping can be devastating.

One of the best tennis games to come along in a long while, maybe even since its N64 parent. The controls are tight, the gameplay is easy to get into and highly addictive, and the graphics look superb.

With the addition of an amazing multiplayer feature, what was widely considered the platformer of the year last year, has now easily vaulted itself into game of the year contention.

In the end, it gets done what it sets out to do and what it does right it does often and quite well. While issues with the game's technology offer up an occasionally bumpy experience, the good parts definitely balance out the bad ones in the final analysis.

You have a fun combat system, great character customization, gorgeous graphics, and enthralling audio. But on the other hand, the pathetic story, unbalanced difficulty, repetitive second half of the game, short game length, and unforgivable bugs and glitches really drag down what is largely an enjoyable game to play.

The massive environments and familiar textures are all along for the ride, and there are some nifty environmental effects like snow, rain, dust, and mud to contend with.

The best wrestling game on the market, period, exclamation point.

If you're looking for the hottest new RPG with the flashiest graphics and some newfangled game mechanics, you'll probably be a bit disappointed. But if you're into the anime and want something that's guaranteed to have you playing well into the wee hours, this game is going to be smiling and waving at you the next time you're at your favorite game shop.
