    Sony NBA 08 for PSP has all the problems as its PS3 big brother only ... bigger?

    So not worth it, pick up "Hearts of Iron II" and get a proper strategy/history game.

    Even the target audience has games in the same genre that are more well defined. While these may entertain, after one or two levels you realize that there is nothing new coming.

    Tries to do a lot of things and wind up not doing very many of them well. It's a good effort but you can find a lot of better titles out there.

    Sure, you see the box and you think, “if this is anything like Wii Sports tennis, it’ll be awesome!”, but trust me when I say this is nothing like Wii Sports Tennis. This is everything like every other crappy port the system has received – graphically inferior, feature-poor and suffering from controls that were originally meant for an analog stick but are now shoehorned uncomfortably into nonsensical hand gestures.

    Either version of the game is equally mediocre. The story holds some promise, but the action is so frustrating it's too much work to get to the meat of it.

    March Madness 07 will make you mad it’s March and the only college hoops game you own is this one; stick with "College Hoops 2K7."

    Sidetracked is a perfect example of a great idea that didn’t get the proper work to make it shine. With a little more effort, the game could have gone from mediocre to must own.

    ProStroke Course isn't just playing with a handicap. It's playing like it's suffering from a handicap.

    Juka is just too tedious. It feels too much like work, and what good qualities the game does have don't seem like they're worth working for.

    The quality of this game’s interface proves that RTS gameplay can be every bit as compelling on the DS as it is on the PC. Unfortunately, the severe lack of quality in the gameplay itself makes this completely broken RTS a waste of your time and money.

    Even the ill-fated "X-Files" PC game of 1998 was more advanced and fun to play than this sorry specimen.

    You can find better RPGs for the GBA, period. It's something of a diamond in the rough, it's just a bit too rough to recommend.

    If your young one really wants to play a mystery-solving game, get them Hotel Dusk or one of the Phoenix Wright games, which actually involve some problem-solving. If, however, your kid is a die-hard Nancy Drew fan, just get them one of the books – it’s cheaper and you don’t have to put up with shallow, boring gameplay to get to the story.

    If you want a youth-friendly racer, you may be better off looking at the recent "Cars" videogame.

    This feels as if it was rushed out for Christmas, and if they would have waited until there was more material from the show, it could have been worth the effort.

    If you have a choice, play the much-better Game Boy Advance version of Monster House.

    If you want Japanese oddities on the GameCube, stick to Pikmin and Super Monkey Ball. This game is just a frustrating mess.

    There’s simply no reason to buy this game until EA Sports puts forth a more serious effort at making it playable and fun.

    This just doesn't cut it. The game starts off from a decent control scheme to grab you attention, but doesn't deliver a real game. It delivers the kind of horrid port you used to see on the original Game Boy.

    The GameCube controller works better than the Wii remote even! Unless you are into the show, you can pass on even renting this title.

    It's hard to play, but if you like the tabletop version of the game you'll enjoy having this one on the go.

    Avoid this game at all costs, it isn't worth your time, nor anyone else's. This is what happens when publishers push a game through in order to meet the holiday sales rush.

    Better than the Xbox and PC versions. Still pretty darn bad.

    This game's promise falls as soon as you open the shrink wrap. Put this into the system, and the game only delivers disappointment. It is an original idea, although poorly executed that deserves some mention.

    It costs a lot more than the movie and isn't that much longer. You might want to just take your kids to the theater again.

    This game looks like it's got moves, but it can't handle itself in the ring. Stick with Wii Sports boxing - it's not great, but it's better than this, and if you have a Wii, you already own it.

    Only for the hardcore of racing fans or if you find it for $10. At least then you won’t feel completely cheated.

    Jackass fans, take the $30 you would have spent on this and buy Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 instead. Just pretend the title screen says Jackass Skateboarding and you’ll never know the difference. It’ll certainly be a lot more fun than this piece of garbage.

    Outside the rabid RPG fans, who will be intrigued for the unique design, there isn't any engaging experience with Rising Star for more casual players. Even the most rabid of RPG fan will yawn through the poor design.
