    Unlike the PlayStation Portable version which manages to be entertaining despite its flaws, Star Wars: Lethal Alliance on Nintendo DS is as laughable as it is frustrating.

    There have already been so many Naruto games, that this was bound to be bad. With too little focus on game construction, this ends up being more generic than Dollar Store toothpaste.

    For $20, getting this Rampage title with its two predecessors is a pretty good deal, so long as you don't mind the shallow, repetitive gameplay.

    It all just seems like a misguided mixture of various RTS games. There’s a dash of Age of Empires, a shake of Civilisation and a spoonful of Rise of Nations; there just isn’t enough there to make Empire Earth II: Art of Supremacy an original game in its own right.

    Die-hard fans of the show may enjoy this, but only on a home console.

    • 69 Critic Score
    Really just more of the same. While it isn’t totally lame, it does have a number of flaws that make it inferior to other hack and slash titles; in short, it’s a whole lot of action you’ve already seen.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Far from fun, it holds you hand through level after level of bland action platform gameplay that makes you wish you could escape from this digital nightmare.

    The biggest flaw of the game, what makes it just about unplayable, is the horrific camera and its lack to obey any command you shout at it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Enjoyable, but at times frustrating. I recommend it for those who enjoy adventure games, but caution those who are new to the genre. Be prepared to think.

    Dawn of Mana is an extremely beautiful game that is irreparably broken both functionally and conceptually. It may look like a dream, but it’s a nightmare to play.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a take it or leave it kind of game, and it would be good for fans, but doesn't offer anything unique beyond the license.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    There are some good concepts here, but they get bogged down in some technical problems and major game clichés. Looking good is one thing, but not being able to run smoothly on qualified machines is another.

    Kids these days... for all the pretty graphics this game offers, it just doesn’t hold a candle to my good old Battlezone game from back in the day, when it comes to gameplay.

    Most of its best parts are taken from old games, but kids who just want to play a Danny Phantom game aren't going to care about that. Good for fans of the show.

    Where before there was too little, here there is not enough worth getting involved with. The home console installments are usually worth your time, but Namco-Bandai has yet to make a handheld Naruto worth it.

    Think of your least-favorite, most painful to endure pirate movie (like maybe The Pirate Movie), multiply it by 10 and turn it into a PC game, and you'll get the idea of what it's like to play Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Overall for a legacy system, this is a pretty decent titles, and becuase the PS2 is in almost every family room in America, I can bet this will be on more than few kid's summer gaming list.

    This isn’t an exceptionally bad game, but it is an extremely mediocre one. The movie is a must-see, but unless you’re a huge fan of the film (or desperate for an Xbox 360 platformer), you should stay away from this one.

    • 15 Critic Score
    This one of the worst games I've ever played on the DS. There's nothing for fans of the series. They strip the cartoon into skeletal framing. There's nothing for gamers; too many bugs and too little variety.

    They're great buys for the children in your life, but the older Spongebob fan will find nothing of note here.

    Dance Factory has some great ideas that could lead to some really great gameplay... eventually.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It looks good, it's fun to play and thee's a lot to do around the farm. Young gamers who enjoyed the movie will find a lot to enjoy here.

    It would have been easy to slam this as yet another mini-game collection. It isn’t the developers fault, and they made a fun game. Mini-games are a crowded field on the Wii right now, and while the market may be as saturated as a sponge at the bottom of the ocean, each game still has to stand on its own. Carnival Games stands up very well.

    For absolute diehard Sonic fans only (and even then it shouldn't be played)

    Party Animals gets a little out of control with its shortcomings, but that doesn't keep it from being entertaining for the little ones. A great presentation and some quirky moments make it charming for children.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A somewhat okay RPG with pretty characters and some all right game play, but far too tedious for the average gamer.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    A complete disappointment. Far from fun, it holds you hand through level after level of bland action platform gameplay that makes you wish you could escape from this digital nightmare.

    In the name of progress, Super Monkey Ball Adventure has abandoned everything that makes the Super Monkey Ball series fun.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Touch the Dead might give some loyal Nintendo-owning parents a heart palpitation; this isn’t a Mario title, Mom and Dad. So save it for when the kids are asleep and the two of you want to get scared-n-cozy!
    • 56 Metascore
    • 5 Critic Score
    The whole game is plodding and repetitive, and it doesn't have a single redeeming quality.
