Adults won’t like it, children don’t like it and absolutely no one should pay money for it—not even as a rental. Heck, we got our copy for free, and we still feel cheated. Stay far, far away from this trash.

It's not nearly as bad as the notoriously awful "Superman 64," but it's yet another chunk of kryptonite plaguing his video game career.

Oddly enough, the music sounds quite good, with orchestrated ditties that are downright inspiring. Too bad the rest of the game inspires nothing but an urge to power off your console.

Blurry characters and environments, rigid animation, and overdone physics all add up to a package that comes off as rushed and uncared for.

Just when it seemed the industry had figured out how to turn some movies into fun gameplay experiences, with Reservoir Dogs, its as if they haven’t learned a thing since "E.T."

Feels more like doing chores than saving a world. Combat is both clunky and unengaging, and hearing the story just isn't worth trudging through the slow gameplay.

This isn’t anywhere near as good as some of the Nintendo DS's other classic remakes, such as Namco's Dig Dug: Digging Strike, which was both fun, innovative, and actually worked properly out of box.

All the action is staged on truly horribly designed levels that go out of their way to prevent exploration as clumsily as possible.

There is simply monotony, pain, and a deep feeling of loss.

At every turn the game beats you over the head and inundates you with 50 Cent, both as a rapper and a brand, to the point where the whole experience comes off as one ridiculous narcissistic commercial.

Fans of the series will find absolutely nothing to like here, and it’s likely that any gamer making Dark Secret their first Tenchu game will never buy another one.

The promise of a decent drift game is there, but a shoddy interface, loose controls, glitchy gameplay, and impossibly steep learning curve prevent D1 from racing to the finish line.

NFL head Coach is obviously targeted toward a very niche group of extreme football enthusiasts, but the game, such as it is, has been made into such a laborious, oftentimes arduous affair that even the target audience is likely to be turned away.

In order to create a challenge in spite of the idiotic artificial “intelligence,” units are extraordinarily weak and feature dubiously sub-par pathfinding. Units will get jammed together in cramped areas before buckling and dying after only two to three hits.

Cars for the DS is short, frustrating, and uninspired, and with so many versions available, there is absolutely no reason to pick this one up.

The game's extremely short length, zoomed in camera, and unhelpful guiding arrows make Cars a disappointing game that isn't even worth a rental.

The DS version of X-Men tries too hard to take advantage of the DS’s touch screen, and this is where it fails. The play control is unique but tiring.

Over The Hedge's quality ranges from decidedly below average to outright terrible, and you can almost hear the executives at DreamWorks and Activision trying to squeeze every cent out of the license instead of making an entertaining game.

The formula was never that good to begin with, and shiny new graphics, tons of new monsters, and a host of unlockable moves simply cannot hide the fact that Rampage, no matter the generation, is a bore.

Drakengard 2, instead of improving on the original, nullified the weapons system, replaced an interesting hero with an unoriginal cookie-cutter protagonist, and managed to make what should have been a fun game - Dynasty Warriors mixed with Panzer Dragoon Orta - tedious and boring.

Save for a very few highlights, this is a rather soulless game that will bore even the younger gamers whom it has obviously been made to entertain.

Even if you’re a fan of the anime, it’s impossible to imagine that anyone would find enjoyment in this game.

Ultimately, this might be the worst game on the DS yet. The camera alone ruins it, even if the rest of the game wasn’t utter garbage.

Given that the DS hardware is woefully underutilized, Burnout Legends is simply a shoddy game. The essential ingredients are here, but there are flash games that have had more quality work put into them.

Not only did EA fail to put in any significant new features; not only did they serve up a plate of castrated game features; not only has the core gameplay taken several measurable steps backwards for the genre, but the graphics, conceivably the most basic measure of the game’s prospective success, are not only unimpressive, but buggy, distorted, and ugly. Color me shocked.

This is a short, tired, and ineffectual piece of work that is best left forgotten.

Each of the game's unique attempts at originality fall flat, and the most important aspect of a shooter - the combat - is bland and boring.

It seems fairly clear that nobody ever gave the game a good play-through – both to see how blatantly unready the game was for retail in terms of testing, but also how bland and uninteresting the core gameplay is.

There are times when the game is fun, but it simply fails to overcome its numerous shortcomings.

Lovingly crafted by aficionados of the genre, but ultimately suffering from feature creeping and a desire to include all things presumably cool. However, in the end In The Groove lacks the professional polish to be anything but mediocre.

Boiling Point: Road To Hell is bound to sit in the annals of poor gaming history, next to "Trespasser," "Daikatana," and other games that were hyped more than they were worked on, and left the gaming populace hungry for real sustenance.

It follows the same storyline the past 53 DBZ games have, and the limited tactics of the fighting system reduce it to a button-mashing contest.

There is no excuse for this--no excuse at all. Driver 3 was a disaster. It was boring. It was sluggish. It was thoroughly buggy. Basically, it was as enjoyable as spending an evening smashing your fingers into pulp with a large hammer.

It’s not a fun game and it’s certainly not balanced. Stay away if you enjoy such buzzwords as “gameplay,” “graphics” or “fun.”

Beyblade G-Revolution has, nestled deep, the ingredients for a rather unique, fun title. As it stands, it is merely below average, marked by its lack of direction and uninteresting variety of Beyblades.

No matter what extras that are packed into a game, if the very fundamentals are as marred as they are here in this game, the title itself is impaired. ChoroQ could have been great is the racing itself were not so inadequate.

Disclaimer: The game playing described in this review was supervised by trained professionals. It is extremely boring and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Almost everything in Rumble Roses is poorly done, from the controls to the graphics to the writing to the voice acting. It's cheap, it's sleazy, and it utterly fails as a game.

Don’t touch this game with a 10-foot pole unless you sleep in Yu-Gi-Oh sheets in your Yu-Gi-Oh pajamas with your Yu-Gi-Oh plush toy. There’s nothing here worth looking at.

Behind all the problems, the tale of Atlantis and quest to liberate its inhabitants is interesting, and has potential to join the next generation of classic adventures. Instead, it seems more like a throwback to the mid-nineties lineup of marginal games shoveled onto CD-ROM.

The visuals are crisp, and cute, but other than that there are few words that can be saddled upon this game that are not dripping with disdain.

It's not really a game. It's a glorified karaoke machine with a really, really poor interface.

Another problem is the game's terrible collision detection and absurd recovery times after throwing a punch or ducking to avoid a blow.

Another problem is the game's terrible collision detection and absurd recovery times after throwing a punch or ducking to avoid a blow.

A near-perfect example of wasted potential. The developers fine tuned the game's combat by including better collision detection, the ability to switch in and out of different characters, and a new block button. Sadly all of this does little when the characters are painfully similar, and each are so powerful that they can more or less walk through anything in their way by the player simply pressing the A button repeatedly.

Problem number one. The controls are atrocious.

Aside from AI being strangely buggy and inconsistent, the enemy placement is simply sadistic. I played the first level on the easiest difficulty and have decided to name it "Quicksave or Die." That is currently my only praise for the game - it runs, and the developers have added a working quicksave feature.

The skillful martial arts of the real Jackie Chan have been simplified to a poorly animated jump, punch, and kick. Even these few gameplay elements are not well developed: there are few times when a kick is better than a punch, aside from breaking the monotony.

Though it does have to two styles of games, unless you're buying the game for a much younger gamer, Sitting Ducks isn't going to appeal to you much.

The game lacks checkpoints, and missions can take upwards of twenty minutes to complete, so should you die 18 minutes into a level, you're forced to go through the entire level again. For a game this bad, that's torture.

This game is a headache wrapped up in frustration and poor design. Mighty Beanz Pocket Puzzles simply does not work as well as it probably looked on the drawing board, and players are advised to stay away.

The Frankenstein's monster of a game I played does little more than scratch the underside of mediocrity. Buy this for an irritating nephew, but keep yourself and those for whom you care for deeply away from this game.

The slow pace, even at heightened settings, is horribly boring. The graphical issues make things even worse, especially for owners of newer video cards.

Lives up to the name of Trivial Pursuit in every way except for it's limited question bank. It's a glaring flaw that's hard to overlook. Flash and Unhinged modes are fun and provide a fresh take on the game, but repeated questions will take the wind out of any game's sails.

The game is so simple and repetitive that it's like watching TV. It requires no brainpower at all and will lull you with the ease of play.

It is flawed on almost every level, but its biggest failing is that it is designed to take advantage of technology that is questionable at best and just plain broken at worst.

I hate this game. It’s the worst PC game I’ve played in months, which, I can assure you, is saying something. I hate it even more because of how much unrealized potential this series has.

There are so many details packed into this game that the learning curve is not so much a curve as it is a cliff and more than a little persistence will be required to get anywhere in this game.

A short, but decent title for snowboard racing, and not much else. The LAN option is a nice feature and can increase a player’s game value if they plan to take advantage of it. However, the lack of gameplay variety and light content really hurts the overall value of the game.

For every minigame that plays acceptably, there are three or four that have no redeeming value whatsoever. Control is consistently imprecise and occasionally mystifying, and none of the games approach any semblance of complexity.

Completely lackluster, offers no challenge, and is a complete waste of money.

It’s a horrible game, plain and simple. It’s filled with obvious flaws that should have never been included in the initial development, let alone make it into the final product.

The worst game I've ever played. Ever. It's worse than "Aquaman," people. It's so bad, in fact, that I briefly considered driving my car off a cliff on the way home one day, just so I wouldn't have to play it anymore.

An average adventure game, plagued with some awful bugs.

The 4½ hours I spent on Ghoulies (yes, I played through the entire game), I’m starting to wonder if the Rare I truly loved is gone for good.

It’s dull, repetitive and often annoying. Even the kindergarten target audience will find themselves alienated while older gamers will just be bored.

Now with Mega Man X7, the first X game to be released on the PS2, the trend continues it terrible decent into crap… and as a Mega Man-Super Fan, this succeeds in making me more depressed.

My friends, this game is gorgeous, but while the "Armored Core" series was innovative and addicting, this game is boring and repetitive. Like that cheerleader in high school you always wanted to date, once you get past the looks, these is nothing but hot air.

If anything, the game is a great time killer, but since it’s pretty much an exact copy of what’s readily available for free on their website, it really doesn’t warrant a purchase.

Any kind of story or action present in the game is quickly drowned by the boring repetition that drags this title down like a quagmire.

There are times when the frame rate staggers at an almost sickening pace. Couple this with a camera that moves like it’s suspended on a strand of stringy taffy, and you can quickly see why this game is so hard to look at, let alone play.

It seems as if those at Midway decided that the “hook” they would use in the game would be the good Doctor’s ability to change into various inane things, such as a spider or squirrel. The whole game in fact is based around this concept, and it is easily one of the most contrived, useless gimmicks I have seen in a game to date.

The control is passable, following a Diablo-esque "click-move-click again-move" schema. Boring, but sufficient.

Short game length, long load times, and high levels of frustration may regulate this game to a weekend rental.
