    The game itself is quite lengthy (as any good RPG should be), and once you beat the last boss you can unlock a special game plus mode with additional challenges.

    While the game is good in small chunks, it gets monotonous quickly and doesn't have much replay value.

    Good, simple fun, although there's not much to it. If you've played Mario vs. Donkey Kong before, you know how it works. If you haven't, you will after two minutes.

    Ken's Rage is an atrociously repetitive game that bafflingly remains entertaining in spite of its best efforts at self-sabotage. But don't let the low score fool you - you should pick this up when it hits the bargain bin. Just be prepared for the video game equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome.

    Fighters Uncaged doesn't offer nearly enough content, and much of it is hidden behind artificial content walls. Most of the fighters are much the same.

    The game makes for a great pick-up-and-play multiplayer experience. Though there's no real reason to play more than once if you are going solo, playing with friends over and over is where the real replay value lies.

    The career mode is just deep enough, but the online mode feels like it could have been fleshed out a little.

    With a new story, a plethora of multiplayer modes (both online and off), and tons of unlockables, there is considerable value to Goldeneye on the Wii.

    Retro has done an incredible job bringing DKC's traditional mechanics into the world of modern game design. The only thing distinct lament is the absence of more rideable animal buddies. Still, a must-buy.

    The ten-dollar price tag also feels a bit steep for a game that doesn't have much else going for it, other than a customary multiplayer component. Five dollars would have fit like a glove. If you're a fan of brawlers and you decide to pick it up, your best bet would be to wait for a price drop.

    Families will get their share of enjoyment out of this, but there's not enough to the experience to recommend if for solo players looking for a meaty game. Play in a group, and you'll have some fun.

    This is the same Worms we've been playing for a decade, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    The biggest pitfall. There's just not a ton of stuff to do. The challenge mode and match mode might be decent for a family game night, but they won't last beyond that. You could power through them in a short evening.

    Your enjoyment of this title will largely depend on your experience with the previous version of All-Stars. If you already have that game (or one of these from the Virtual Console), don't bother. If you don't, you'll waste hours playing in the Mushroom Kingdom.

    There is so much content packed into this game that I couldn't even fit all of it into my review. However, even the multiplayer alone is enough to warrant this rating.

    If we haven't stressed this enough, this is not a game for everyone. Its glacial pace and text-heavy gameplay will put most gamers to sleep. But those looking for a deep combat system, a complex story, and a long-awaited new entry in a beloved franchise will absolutely love the many hours they spend working through Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

    Only time will tell how long this can hold your attention, but the game's early moments promise an epic experience.

    It's an irresistible blend of top-notch production values, simple gameplay, and endless small innovations to keep that gameplay fresh.

    The story is top-notch, and while the gameplay mechanics are simplistic on the surface, there is a surprising level of depth to the game.

    Gran Turismo 5 sets the bar high for the genre overall, and with its detailed approach to core mechanics and commitment to creating the best simulation in video games, it's easy to see why Gran Turismo is the gold standard in the automotive genre. Though some missteps were made with some of the modes, the game is a tight package that begs not only to be played, but obsessed over.

    This isn't a game for young kids. It's rated Mature for a reason. It's filled with adult situations and references. So grow up and grab a copy.

    Colors is an apology for the werehog portions of Sonic Unleashed, and it's a very good one.

    There's a campaign that lasts six hours and an arcade mode, but if the gameplay's no fun, why bother?
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This game feels like a preliminary build rather than a finished game, and it's unenjoyable as a result.
