    The game plays much better then last year's game, and overall ha[s] a great look and feel to it that most people are just going to love.

    Capcom's quirky shooter might raise some eyebrows, but the stylish aesthetics and unpredictable gameplay will win you over, if you give it a chance.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Misses the mark as the vague plot and unchallenging gameplay makes for a very tedious shooter.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Enough features and values to extend your gaming experience.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Namco's foray into the PSP platform hits a huge snag, as Reckoning's overly simple and repetitive gameplay takes the skill (and fun) away.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Activision makes full use of the Marvel licence with a heavy dose of superhero action, nifty combos and plenty of unlockable goodies.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The curse of movie to video games conversions strikes again, as there's nothing fantastic or memorable about this repetitive and generic actioner.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pandemic Studios takes what we love about campy alien B-Movies and turns it into this relentlessly funny and solid action title.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you enjoy this style of humor or even enjoyed Bad Fur Day, then you are going to enjoy the solid single and multiplayer modes in this game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The simple combat system works really well for the game and the storyline for me was really interesting. I would have liked more diversity in the single player mode, but the online mode really helped out its cause.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Capcom's attempts to revive the 2D fighting genre hits a major snag, as this fighter doesn't offer anything new to modern gamers, aside from online support.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    EA finally does some justice to the Batman license with this decent if not unspectacular action title that ends up far too linear and repetitive for its own good.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A pretty decent street racer, with great selection of cars and juicy customization options.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    EA's latest in the MoH franchise adopts a more interesting open-ended squad-based shooter approach, but falls short due to a mediocre multiplayer offering.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    San Andreas is still San Andreas, and although the visuals failed to impress the gameplay is still as solid and engaging as ever.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Taking cues from the hit series CSI, this adventure title demands strong patience and creativity to solve the missions. Definitely not for the weak hearted.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Majesco promises a unique gaming experience that looks great on paper, but is constantly plagued by poor enemy AI and major frame-rate issues.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    One of the more impressive children's movie to be made into a game because of how well the game plays, and not how deep nor how well it looks.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Those expecting a full-on console version on the handheld will be disappointed, as EA serves a stripped-down game plagued with needlessly frustrating controls.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unless you enjoy poorly developed games that make you frustrated right off, then you can probably just let this bomb go off and move on to other games.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Really one of those games that can be compared to a roller coaster in many ways. It has a lot of upsides and a lot of downsides, but in the end it just depends on whether you like roller coasters.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A quite decent and demanding racer.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It has plenty of great courses, fun characters, and just a very accessible and solid gameplay system.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An average first person shooter on a console that is full and rich of these sorts of games. The game has some nice touches, like the map editor, but in the long run it's just not a good enough FPS to stand out against the rest of the Xbox library.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    No "Gran Turismo 4," but comes close to usurping the throne for the genre with jaw-dropping visuals and impressive online play.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This game is a pretty clear cut disappointment and there is really no other way to say it. It had the potential to be a sleeper hit, paving the way for action games on the PSP, but ultimately let down with an uninspired storyline and lackluster gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very few times in the DS short history have we seen games actually use the touch screen to its advantage in the way that this game did.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The series moves from the light-gun to the overly saturated FPS genre, offering decent if unspectacular gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It can be frustrating at times, but the light hearted humor and the solid gameplay will get you through some of its flaws.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Not even the flashy visuals can help THQ's latest from its sluggish action, dull story mode and lagging online play.
