    • 60 Critic Score
    The writing is of the quality that you'll find in your average Jean-Claude Van Damme flick. It tries to be witty and satirical, but is adolescent and uninteresting instead.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A PlayStation game that will disappoint Potter fans around the world with its bland graphics, blocky characters, lifeless locales, frustrating challenges, and uninspiring gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If only more could have been done with the online, and that control smoothed out.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    These sort of games are reviewer-proof. They are targeted at a very specific market and are deliberately made as simple as possible.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Aside from the occasional slander and the slight slowing down of production, I didn’t quite get the feeling that the press was really all that interesting a factor.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Better than all the superhero drek we've been force-fed in the past, but the wait continues for a superhero PC game we can call a bona fide classic.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    WSPC’s physics make for distractingly wobbly, touchy handling, where oversteering due to jouncing shocks after the smallest of bumps is the norm.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The main thing holding this title back from greatness, or even mediocrity, is its tasteless gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Just isn't very much fun... There's no zen underneath the zaniness, no pith under the perkiness, and no meat beneath the mirth.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Just imagine what it could've been like if Capcom had put some effort into it.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    But what made me put down the Dualshock in frustration is control... Base running is the primary offender... It's just too confusing and counterintuitive, especially if you're brave enough to try returning to bases.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The idea of having cannons and other things to deliberately impede your progress is an interesting idea, but the implementation still needs work.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    America had the potential here for a great game, but that limited multiplayer and weak AI really is a let down.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Minority Report does not capture the essence of the movie and ends up being a tiresome wade through piles of repetitive enemies.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The sound effects and music is repetitive and eventually, annoying. Hell, it's a monster truck game, you'd think the audio would be a priority!
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    This game fails to make the PS2 hockey play-offs.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Ripping on Final Fantasy VII is nothing short of blasphemy to some, but this follow-up just doesn't impress.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    While flight sim or "Pilotwings" fans will dig the emphasis on pure flight skill rather than on possessing an itchy trigger finger, they may still be put off by the drab visuals that would look more at home on the N64 than the PS2.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's really a shame, because Shrek is exactly the sort of movie that could be made into some highly entertaining platform games.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's hard to tell what's part of the gameplay and what's merely artwork, a fact not made any easier by the GBA's notorious lighting difficulties.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Exasperating, not exciting is the prevailing taste left in one's mouth, especially when dealing with the camera.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The poor maneuverability of Mister Mosquito seriously shrink-rays that already little fun, and makes the game a lot more frustrating than it ought to be. Fresh, though, you've got to give it that.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    I can see that Treasure and Enix attempted to put something new into platform gaming with this game. In many ways they have succeeded. What Mischief Makers lacks is the instant pick up and play familiarity that makes people comfortable with a game. From what I've seen, this title just doesn't speak to a majority of the population. It's certainly a niche market game.

    It had a proven track record of great arcade basketball gaming behind it, and although it is entertaining, this year’s offering fails to live up to that legacy.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, unlike the books, the videogame never really explains the trivia answers, or enlightens the gamer with any interesting information; you either get the question right, or wrong, then it is time to move on.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    With its luscious graphics that beg to be stared at, it’s a shame that Bang!’s gameplay isn’t a little more involving.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Flying just never feels natural or precise, and considering how much of it Superman does, this is not a small failing.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    This attempt to add strategy to combat brings the entire gaming experience (slowly) crashing down, and ruins any chance of the gamer enjoying the story being presented.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    At best, an average racer with a watered-down trick system.
