It's really a case of great game additives making up for mediocre game design.

The game isn’t particularly innovative, and ends rather rapidly. It is more of a Gundam teaser than a really rich gaming experience.

A fairly well-developed game. It looks great and is to some degree fun to play. There is however, little that is new to racing games.

If it's depth you want you'll be disappointed, but if you want to lose yourself in a high-speed car chase or force your buddies into a head-on, this one's for you.

If you're not going to mess with the editor, there aren't many reasons to get this new version if you own older copies of the game.

Solid baseball, with fun gameplay and great presentation, but poor graphics and annoying bugs means we might need to bring in a pinch-hitter.

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.

It will likely satiate role-playing game aficionados who would step over their own mother for something to play on their PS2, but don’t expect Squaresoft-quality gameplay.

If the story doesn't grab you, then you can probably pass on Rule of Rose. Its other elements aren't nearly as satisfying.

As Samuel Johnson once said, “He who has not played "Midtown Madness" will find this game a treat indeed; others may be visited by an unsettling sense of déjà vu.” And that’s also a direct quote. I think.

The save game system and the control scheme add to the difficulty more than they should.

While entertaining in small doses, Creature Isle does not have the kind of countervailing payoff for these frustration as the first game.

Riddle of the Sphinx's immersive storyline, hearty exploration sequences and challenging puzzles make this three-CD set an enjoyable--albeit somewhat taxing--experience for the seasoned adventurer looking for a value-priced fix.

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.

A fun game; those with the patience to master the controls, and those not overly concerned with graphics will discover a challenging, rewarding, and genuinely funny experience awaiting them.

The courses, while looking extremely good, are just not varied enough.

The joy in this game comes from the environments. Krome Studios has done a fantastic job of making the different locals feel alive.

It doesn't stand out from the crowd, but it should appeal to fans of the flick.

If you like a little humor mixed in with your punches then give this one a workout.

A good game for the patient strategy gamer who doesn't mind tripping over the occasional rough bit, and who thinks that "Starcraft" is really an action game.

The gameplay of Tsunami 2265 is best-suited for younger or for casual gamers.

The best thing about NBA ShootOut 2003 is the career mode that allows you to create a player and work your way into the NBA through good play in the summer leagues.

It has strong characters and a story that's better plotted than the last movie, quite frankly. If only that camera was a little more tame.

A solid action game that feels a little like Starfox, with different battle types that always amount to you shooting everything that moves. While you can't call it revolutionary, it's got good controls and a sense of humour, so I found myself liking it.

A very solid action title. Not an overly innovative game by any means, but far better than much of the licensed schlock out there.

The two versions are identical in most ways, however the GC graphics are slightly better. The colours are sharper and more vibrant.

The characters have character, and the story is quite good as well, which gives the game life, when the novelty of the gameplay starts to wear a little thin.

Don't expect lots of depth, but it is a decent shooter with lots of eye candy. Whereas "Dinosaur Planet" offered a long gaming haul, Star Fox: Assault keeps it short and sweet and simple.
