Trips down memory lane have peaks and valleys, but this one is definitely worth taking. [Jan 2006, p.138]

Trips down memory lane have peaks and valleys, but this one is definitely worth taking. [Jan 2006, p.138]

The game's lack of polish is also another problem. The graphics and textures aren't impressive at all. [Dec 2005, p.158]

The addition of a robust multiplayer mode makes this homecoming all the sweeter. [Dec 2005, p.188]

Even with these new elements, the game isn't as dynamic or addictive as others in the series, but it does manage to find some identity amid its more familiar feature that Sims fans will certainly appreciate. [Nov 2005, p.150]

The content that's there can occasionally be fun, but there just wasn't enough of it to keep me engaged. [Feb 2006, p.112]

I definitely would have had more fun with Metroid Prime Pinball if I'd had access to a little more content right from the start. [Nov 2005, p.176]

A truly unique experience that inspires emotions in a way few games can. It has its share of problems, but I love it just the same. [Oct 2005, p.130]
