All of the vehicles control terribly, the levels are uninspired and the game itself is just a port. Why bother?

A decent game that could have been great if it had been released three years ago.

Gamers weaned on massive combos and flashy pyrotechnics will most likely find themselves fidgeting, but we've got a suspicion that plenty of PS2-owning gamers out there are looking for a fighter with finesse -- not just for fans of the genre, Kengo fits that bill quite nicely.

Past the point of its strange gameplay philosophy, Acclaim's new racer holds some solid gameplay and excellent graphics.

Thankfully, lackluster graphics and singular thrills do not a poor game make.

Funky and fun, it won't revolutionize the genre, but it's a hardcore puzzle gamer's wet dream.

There's more than 50 hours of continually branching narrative and vicious freeform combat awaiting those brave enough to enter its dark and twisted world.

Avoid this one at all costs, and if your child begs for it after seeing it on store shelves, spare them unending agony by only renting it -- and then only as punishment for misbehaving.

Impressive animation, linear levels that will confuse absolutely no one and a large number of adversaries make Quackers the perfect gift for under-aged gamers.

Delivers the darkly comic humor and creepy mood of Sam Raimi's wonderful film trilogy, but simply fails to follow through on its promise with basic gameplay.

Not only do the additions work well enough with the game not to detract from its fun, but the classic Tetris has also been added to the mix for those old-schoolers who would rather play the original.

It doesn't have the best graphics out there, but frankly, it has everything else in spades.

The tanks are cool and feature gritty design and nice detailing -- but their animation sets are pretty limited and the sensation of piloting an actual, steely titan is somewhat lacking.

The graphics reside on the bottom side of ordinary, Quinn Buckner's commentary soon grows repetitive and there just aren't enough bells and whistles to impress us. Add that to the occasionally frustrating gameplay and spotty AI, and you have a team built for boring, sub-.500 play.

While it's an improvement over the original, Team Arena is essentially a decent mod but it's nothing that can't be found for free.

If there is such a thing as a low end to a Miss score, this game would be there, precipitously hanging with its arms spinning in comical circles directly over the ledge that drops into Dudville.

Frankly, there aren't many serviceable alternatives in the hangar, making Battle for Naboo a nice way to kick some ass into the N64's golden years.

The sort of videogame that needs to have the epilepsy warning printed in 72-point Helvetica bold. This game is so colorful, fast and disorienting that we came close to passing out a couple of times and poking ourselves on the "Seaman" microphone.

There are so many cool tricks to pull off, and the physics are so forgiving, that we weren't afraid to try some truly ambitious tricks -- and occasionally land them.

What should or could have been a cool, sneaky shooter devolves into a series of tedious levels, severely aliased graphics and some of the stupidest, ugliest enemies we've seen this side of "Delta Force: Land Warrior."

The tiny characters are vividly illustrated and animated with surprising aplomb, remaining remarkably expressive despite their diminutive stature.

If you've never experienced "Tomb Raider," this game will rock your world. Otherwise it'll be about as familiar as a two-year-old pair of shoes.

After a few hours around the track we quickly grew tired of the same shallow driving, no matter how great those courses looked.

We were so afraid that this radioctive unfun would contaminate the other games on our shelf that we threw it away in a lead box.

What might be a somewhat amusing game is hampered by slack-jawed level design, ...boring four-dimensional humans and frame rates that a less charitable reviewer might describe as craptastic.

Not only does it not force us to learn new skills, think in new ways or read a silly manual, it also reminds us forcibly of Crash Bandicoot, one of our all-time favorite platform games.

Beautiful to watch and entertaining to play, the game will draw you in and make you feel connected to your onscreen personas like few others. Serious sim fans should definitely give this game a test flight.

For the player who relishes a realtime space strategy simulation, nothing can touch the depth of this game.
