    • 70 Critic Score
    With Mech games being a rare commodity these days, this mech sim provide decent action and customizations, albeit being repetitive in the long run.

    The re-telling of the Tale of Genji improvises on the novel with fast-paced action, hard-hitting combos and deep storyline. Pity it doesn't last that long.

    Having Wayne Gretzky's name on a game should have guaranteed a sure-fire hit, but the new features are a letdown and isn't any better from last year's effort.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Namco's brawler does thrill, but misses out on the crucial online play and a decent story.
