    If you enjoy nail-biting, difficulty-driven gameplay, then this title will give you plenty of hours of frustrating and exhilarating gameplay. If you are more of a story-driven or action-RPG fan, leave this one on the shelf.

    By breaking all the assumptions that normally come with a movie-based license (such as using the film's actors and pushing to do a simultaneous game-film release) High Moon Studios has crafted a solid action game.

    For a budget title, things could certainly be a whole lot worse. It’s worth a rental at the least, and if you can find some online play then you might just want to consider purchasing it. It’s fun, challenging, captivating, diverse – and cheap.

    Hardcore gamers need not apply; this game does not push the series in any direction. In fact it kind of drags it back a little but that's fine as long as it hits its intended audience.

    It may not be the best simulation ever or even in the series itself, but it makes for a rather lengthy adventure with plenty of charm.

    Single-player modes galore, multiplayer action, unlockable bubble and arrow designs, and tight controls make this game very addictive and entertaining.

    Honestly, Kasumi's Loyalty Mission isn't that great. Also, you're only getting about an hour and a half (max) of additional content. At least the extra goodies and crew member are solid.

    The dialog is well acted and quite humorous. The music is perfect for this game and maintains a consistently light and upbeat mood. It's hard to be in a bad mood when you're in Thrillville.

    Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy succeeds primarily because it sticks to the original Ace Combat format without trying to dress the series up as something it's not.

    It's a very challenging game that is not recommended for the casual gamer - unless you want a real bad beating. Don't knock it, it's good for you.

    Battle Fantasia grabs hold of a player, there's no telling how many hours of enjoyment it's good for.

    Putting the number three behind the title should mean progression. Unfortunately, this feels more like a transgression.

    • 70 Critic Score
    There is a lot of content including tons of practice scenarios to learn the ropes, giving the game a solid length if you are a completionist like me, but at times it can be frustrating and difficult, even on the normal difficulty setting, which hurts the game's appeal a bit.

    Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 is good - but it's not great.

    The presentation is solid, though it also feels pretty light. Were the game not so difficult, most players would zip through it in only a handful of hours. With a few tweaks, Tornado Outbreak would make an excellent WiiWare title.

    A surprisingly solid puzzle title for the Nintendo DS. It's addictive and fun, and easy enough for anybody to get into and have fun. The difficulty ramps up, but that's a good thing.

    It will provide you with a relaxing and somewhat strange experience that no other game offers. It looks great on the PS3 and will impress (and maybe hypnotize) your visitors when they come over.

    While Outbreak's gameplay is innovative - online, team co-op play and the ability to turn into a zombie - there is absolutely nothing that stands out here at all thanks to one big fat missed opportunity: Communication.

    Packs a lot of concentrated, old-school fun.

    Overlook the few minor irritating aspects of the game, and you'll find Sacred 2 to be surprisingly enjoyable.

    Simultaneously walking the beaten path and wildly straying from it, Matrix Software has created a diverse action-RPG that’s very satisfying. The blend of both familiar and completely new gameplay elements in Avalon Code improves the experience rather than detracting from it.

    The repetition of the puzzles, the missing action and a few glitches here and there manage to turn what could have been a great game into a good game.

    There is still a ton of depth for vets, with a new expanded perk system that lets you mix and match perks from all categories, tons of new game modes such as the fast-paced Cranked and Blitz, and the ability to build a near invincible squad and watch it climb the leaderboards without you even playing.

    It shows the potential of the DS by exploiting its uniqueness, something that these next-gen console and future next-gen consoles will not be able to touch. Literally.

    A very exciting first effort from Microsoft. The innovative microphone peripheral, accelerometer-based mini-games, medal system, and the ability to import your own songs make this title stand out from the crowd. However, this title’s short and conventional track list, as well as its lack of online play really hinders it from being a true SingStar killer.

    If you've got last year's version of Madden NFL, then you don't need this one. It's so disappointing to see such little improvement in this series.

    It's not big on frills but it is loaded with modes, including online play.

    Joint Assault is decent fun if you can get past its yawn-worthy elements.

    Good gameplay variety, but nothing unique.

    There’s a decent game in here somewhere, but Mass Effect: Andromeda feels like a collaboration from Mass Effect fans rather than a group of known and established developers. It’s like that cool thing everyone loves, a decade-plus removed from its creators and pushed down an assembly line. Mass Effect: Andromeda didn’t need to reinvent the wheel, but the wheel needed to have that special sheen that’s evidence of five years of polish and care. Instead it feels well meaning, but sloppy.
