I suggest gamers shortchange Sega by spending only $3.99 to rent this miniscule title that will only be enjoyable truly for a weekend or so of fun.

Its shallow gameplay hardly justifies the time and effort of me going all the way to the store to buy it.

Rent it like I did, beat in a couple of nights (it's about 4-5 hours long if you rush through it conserving your ammo/gas and avoiding the respawning Deadites) and mourn the butchering of yet another promising movie franchise in a videogame that fails to do justice to its cool characters and interesting plot.

Acclaim needs a new engine and they need it to be radiclly different.

The Grinch, the anti-"Rayman 2", a 3D scavenger hunt so unappealing and unrewarding (not to mention confusing and boring) you'll be wondering what you saw in it to begin with (besides the obvious tie-in to the movie).

Aside from the cool TV-style graphics and CG character fonts (identical to the one's ESPN used to have about half-a-year ago), the final game is as disposable and empty a sports experience as watching "ESPN Sports Reporters" every Sunday morning

Too short, too hard and not packed with the replayable goodies one expects a home port to deliver these days.

Max Steel isn't bad, just insultingly average and unimaginative... as seen on TV every Saturday morning these days.

Does too many things right... but unfortunately buries them underneath some pretty piss-poor flaws (crummy graphics, insane difficulty, awkward control, unrewarding non-existent learning curve, etc.).

Ultimately a disappointment.

Why do most track & field events in "Sydney 2000" still rely on the ages-old technique of rapid button-tapping (A/B) to build stamina during a race/jump, followed by an action touch (X/Y) to flip/jump?

Rent it, because it deserves at least that but only the truly hardcore aces should even consider the purchase.

Go in peace son, as your indiscretion with yet another Acclaim-sponsored disappointment has been forgiven... again!

The game's sound system is simply awful. The game features a single commentator with about as much life as a rock.

I can see its depth and replayability, but it'll be a cold day in the Florida Peninsual before you see me pick "H&D" for rent anytime soon. It's not my cup of tea.

I'd still rather play "Dynamite Cop" with its humor and imagination. "ZR" was game I had high hopes for but in the end falls way too flat.
