A very fun--yet flawed--RPG at sea with lots of gameplay to keep you sailing for weeks (if not months) on end.

Combines a top-notch economic/civic model, attractive graphics, and solid real-time combat to give gamers a slice of Chinese history. And that, like all things Asian, is tres cool.

It has problems keeping track of continuity... The attempts at adding some freedom and multiple approaches weren't quite pulled off, but points for effort.

Sadly, automakers have yet to realize that it's better to have one of their cars in a good game than to enforce their no-damage policy and end up with a bad game because of it.

In addition to the plot straight out of an LSD hallucination, it has unique game mechanics that really spice up the platform gaming scene.

The whole organic, aquatic-tofu presentation of the game is poor preparation for one land-lubbingly brutal fact: Some of these missions are suddenly and disproportionately hard. But golly, they "shore" are pretty.

Despite the wealth of options and considerable depth, it’s pretty much the same over and over again giving you little urge to come back.

An obsessive-compulsive's dream.

It falls right in the middle of mediocrity. It may not be good, but it’s not bad either, just very gray.

It provides some engaging platform-style puzzle solving, in unique environments. Enough said.

The worst, in a ruin the game entirely sort of way, worst part of SoF, hands down has to be the pathetic artificial intelligence offered up by your enemies.

You can expect some immense spaces to trek around, just don’t expect too many courses to race on.

Despite nice effects like the lighting on the torches in dungeons and the water effects that let you see the fishies swimming along, the whole game grows rather old rather fast. This happens because the game is indeed old.

At times engaging and at others frustrating, but still sporting a striking visual design, Fuzion Frenzy is worth a rental for your next party or to check out for an eventual buy.

While Steel Soldiers has its strengths, the outdated play mechanics and buggy code may frustrate players rather than satisfy them.

While the linear missions can get quite tough (not to mention adhering to the imposed time limit), controlling the airblade hoverboard is surprisingly intuitive.

It is the desire to see the other environments, rather than the story, that will motivate you to continue playing. It presents almost every type of platform gameplay that you've ever seen, but there's nothing new or remarkable about it.

While other games have had interesting twists, excellent characters, or some other well designed facet to help bring a fresh twist to the story, this game is very standard in its approach. It gets tiresome quickly, and will be an all too familiar romp for RPG fans.

Okage's extreme weirdness does level off after a while into a mostly familiar RPG, but its overall charm and humor make the experience well worth it.

Fans of console RPGs will recognize the smooth gameplay and brilliant Final Fantasty-style graphics. It does not have the depth of character interation or development as something like "Fallout" or "Baldur's Gate," but it is a fun ride, taking you into strange policies, and showing intriguing conspiracies and ambitions.

A fun, irreverent romp and a great way to blow off some steam after a hard days work... [but p]layers expecting something radically different from the first game will be disappointed.

Urban Warfare also plays more like a first person clone of "Metal Gear Solid," and a not bad one at that.

Will be warmly received by those jonesin’ for a hit of simulated gunplay mayhem. For the rest of us, it’s a worth a shot then best forgot.

Exasperating, not exciting is the prevailing taste left in one's mouth, especially when dealing with the camera.

The game remains single-player only.

The biggest plus of World Series 2K2 has to be the online game mode.

You know you’re in trouble when it takes you five times to get through the first training level of a game, and it freezes on the second.

I think I keep saying this, but Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights is fun. And that's about what all these words you've just read amount to.
