It’s very enjoyable the whole way through and the puzzles are extremely well designed and varied, some being simple and some requiring quite a bit of thinking.

The game play could be overhauled further as it's slow, controls could be more responsive, ball physics still can do with some working.

A bad thing about the enemies though is that while they do change from world to world, they are still limited with the total number of 14 enemies being seen and there also being a few types of enemies that are seen in every world.

Whats unfortunate is there is no real difference in graphics from Sega GT 2002, which is disappointing. I would have liked to have seen better car models, car damage and effects. Why is it that games which claim excellent realism, often the cars handling is poor?

The graphics looked washed out and lacked textures and seemed dated.

Multiplayer has been greatly improved, with characters' journal state now being saved, so playing through one of the campaigns with a friend or two is a much more satisfying.

Kya’s fantastic and diverse gameplay makes the standing block for a successful start in the gaming industry, Visuals and sound could have been a lot better but by and large Kya is fun.

A let down is the lack of control over the military units, the consistent and predictable AI especially within the vikings.

UFO: Aftermath will give you about 15 hours of solid gameplay, at which stage you may choose to go again and take a different path to victory.

The battling is appealing for a while but soon becomes a bit repetitive. Fortunately the game’s graphics are nice-looking and crisp and the sound (especially the music) is excellent.

If you're getting a few mates around and don't have enough controllers for them, give Worms 3D a rent as you only need one controller to play the multiplayer.

The atrocious frame rate and textures hurts the game play, almost making it at times unplayable. Max still has the charismatic way of dealing with his demons, which is dealing death with bitter coolness.

A good example how top quality motion capture can be used within a game. Unfortunately the "revolutionary" control system hurts an otherwise solid game.

With the lack luster graphics, textures, lighting, and shadows being stripped from the port, the game suffers and doesn’t allow the full gaming experience of a Clancy title that we know in titles like "Ghost Recon Jungle Storm."

It tries to offer a few unique features that sets it apart and they are good but it does not propel the title in the same league of recent racing titles.

While it does lack in certain graphical aspects and contains some fairly linear worlds, the game's concept is unique and the transformation feature really adds a lot of variety to the gameplay.

The best Terminator game yet, but its arcade-style gameplay, extreme difficulty and minor flaws let it down a bit.

If you don’t intend to play with friends or family that much don’t bother with the title unless you haven’t played a Mario Party title before.

It doesn’t really do that much to excite you though, as it lacks something that makes the whole experience a let down from being an exciting prospect. The graphics are average and the sound not a great leap better.

An enjoyable thinking experience is what most will take from Bombastic, a game where rolling dice has never been so explosive or enjoyable.

The game looks great and the sound complements the game well.

The game has had a major overhaul of the FPS engine and a nice improvement on the "action dictates storyline" aspect.

This game will entertain the children but doesn’t bring anything new to the plat former genre.

Unfortunately, the technical flaws are too obvious to ignore and play a hand in keeping gamers from enjoying a fun adventure and one of Lady Croft’s finest moments.

The single player campaign is very playable, very enjoyable, and also very long.

A good solid game, as it should be considering it’s the fifth in the series. Being released around the same time as "Tekken 5" though, it’s incredibly noticeable how one series can progress and develop new modes of gameplay, while another can simply try to release the same old.

If you can get past the slightly annoying controls while swinging around and the short length of the game, then pick this title up.

All the machine guns, sawed-offs, and rocket launchers can't save this title. 187 Ride or Die lacks a number of things that could have made this a worthwhile action game so all we're left with is a disappointing racing game.

Demon Stone deserves 75% because it’s not the best hack and slash game out there, probably because it’s a measly port that they probably threw together at the last minute.

Rogue Agent had the premise to be a great action title, playing the villain but it isn't. Rogue Agent is an average FPS, with an uninspiring single player, with decent multiplayer.

The graphics are supreme and almost unmatched in today’s strategies, but with "Age of Empire III" just around the corner, we can’t see Stronghold 2 sustaining life for a long time in anybodies gaming world.

Unfortunately it only has about 5-7 hours of gameplay without much lastability.

The basic storyline is good enough and the game does bring a few new aspects to the genre such as having to fill your car up with petrol. Unfortunately though this vision became lost during development and the game just feels unfinished.

Despite its downfalls, it still maintains solid gameplay and will be a winner with the kids.

The game is long enough to keep most fans pleased, with the small multiplayer mode adding some additional lifespan if you have a friend who also owns a copy of the game.

This is the best Batman video game ever released, saying that this game still isn't a AAA title but is above average. The linear storyline does subtract from the playability but this is really not a true hindrance.

Not as good as its Xbox cousin but still an enjoyable title with lots to do and will keep a tennis fan happy for ages.

It's challenging, fun, genuinely hilarious, and sets the benchmark for future PSP games in this genre - the likes of Daxter and Prince of Persia have a lot to live up to.

If you’re a keen gamer and not a big fan of the strategy simulation games, stay clear of Evil Genius as it won’t bring you any satisfaction as opposed to a leading FPS game out on PC these days.

The fact most of these games can be played in a couple of minute bursts is good for people on the go and the budget pricing point makes this a worthy addition to your PSP game collection.

The forts concept has been added with precision, ensuring that it moulds into the game's structure almost seamlessly. Unfortunately, though, the gameplay is still painfully slow.

The 3D realm hasn't been kind to Castlevania graphically. A lot of gamers will be turned off by the slow start to the game.

A perfect length for a game of this quality.

Tetris DS failed to wow me. A lacklustre online service, and only one or two new modes worth playing just don't add up to a DS game's worth of value for me, especially since I can play Quinn on my Mac with the same rules for free.

Although it's not a hard game, it can get quite tedious going back and forth around the world to please a girl, trying to get that perfect trampoline combination, and win at Quarters whilst still managing to get enough money to buy those cool clothes to impress that special girl.

Though the game features many replayability features the casual gamer won't be compelled to do so considering the fact that the game gets repetitive and difficult early on what with the constant fighting and all.

The Arwing levels improved from Dinosaur Planet, while the on-foot ones worsened.

There are some problems with the game, but a great combat system, great multiplayer and great presentation all make up enough for the game’s shortcomings.

There isn’t much to this game at all. Just grab a weapon and shoot stuff endlessly.

One of the better controlled games.

Its not long before you realise you're pretty much just running around the level bashing things senselessly, interspersed with the good humour just to make sure you don't fall asleep.

A fun yet repetitive and slow-paced romp through the history of the Caribbean.

The computer AI is disappointing at times, rather than working together as a team your opponent's efforts are disjoint allowing them to be picked off one at a time.

Being Xbox Live compatible, and a 4-8 player game, Carve would also be the perfect gift for a mate’s birthday if you’re really stuck for ideas.

The Entente is a fairly big game with dozens of missions to complete, so if it turns out you like it, you may spend several weeks churning out all possible opportunities that this game has to offer.

If you've played "Crazy Taxi" before leave Road Rage on the shelf, everyone else who isn't a Simpsons fan, should invest their money in something else because there is really only lasting appeal for the fans and even then it's cutting it close.

The game play could be overhauled further as it's slow, controls could be more responsive, ball physics still can do with some working.

It might be a good present for a lonely mate though, but that's about it.

An enjoyable game but has quite a few flaws, most of which are graphical.

It’s a great idea, but I believe all avenues of zombie-rampages have already been thoroughly exposed in many other games, not to mention the movies. Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick will keep you entertained for all of about 10 hours.

The ability copying and multi-routed tracks are smart additions that would be a lot more enjoyable had other infuriating faults not let it down.

Features the backbone and potential of a great first-person shooter: lush graphics, great music and ambience, massive, well-designed environments and a unique storyline. When it comes down to it, though, the story is told poorly and the gameplay is incredibly repetitive, bland and hardly innovative.

The fact that there’s not much more you can do apart from hit a ball over a net makes Volleyball games unfulfilling and extremely limited.

Black Monday has a few glaring faults with control, over your character, targeting and a camera system that hurts the overall game play experience.

There isn't a lot that stands out except the obvious online features a good level design, and decent stealth action.

Graphically superior from the previous 2 titles.

Though there are obvious faults, but Red Dead Revolver does allow you to be a tobacco chewin’, foul mouthed gunslinger cowboy in the wild wild west.

A nice attempt, but an overall feeling of unfulfilling incompleteness.

A fairly ordinary game with fairly ordinary gameplay.

Special in its own way, and is a one-of-a-kind in a market full of games that have been done over oh so many times.

This is nothing on the beautiful little gem I [didn't] played four years ago.

The jump animation seems very stiff and looks like Tanner hasn't stretched in years. Tanner can also swim which looks marginally better than his running technique.

It’s worth a look if you’re a fan of the western setting but keep in mind that it’s nothing special when juxta positioned with the kings of the genre.

It has its ups and downs, but the special moves look absolutely gorgeous and very much like they do in the cartoon series, and the in-flight fighting is an experience not to be missed on a hand-held.

The game follows the movie closely and looks superb.

Overall we gave it a 6.5 because it does have a fair bit of life in it, but there’s a few things about the game that are just too annoying to put up with for very long.

The lack luster textures and collision detection let the game down, it made the otherwise enjoyable gameplay frustrating.

If you can put up with annoying controls, stupid team mates, and what simply feels like a rushed title, then there are some moments in Close Combat: First to Fight which are rewarding, but overall the game really isn't worth the trouble.

Follows the movie’s storyline quite faithfully.

Chances are you’ll play this game for a maximum of 10 hours, unless you have a mate with the game as well, which could increase the gameplay value if you can put up with a slowed-down battle.

Shark Tale does a fantastic job of representing the film authentically as a whole, but it’s its very basic, mini-game style levels and side-scrolling gameplay that let it down.

It just has some serious problems with the camera combined with average graphics and sound that don’t spell success for the title.

The online mode makes up for some of the problems with Omega Strain, but if you don't have the PS2 adapter, or not a fan of the series, there is very little for you in the game.

The game’s presentation is quite average and what many would call the meat of the game, the racing, falls far below any of the realistic racing you’ll find out there today.

A fairly unique game that is, overall, quite fun. Its flaws lie, unfortunately, in the largest part of any game - the gameplay.

The game is visually appealing but does also suffer a few problems such as poor AI for your team mates, this is alleviated in multiplayer mode.

A pretty lacklustre game - in both the pinball and Mario aspects.

Been there, done that.

Sure, the basic gameplay's there, but even for previous SMB fans, this would have to be a try-before-you-buy title.

The developers did a good job with the graphics putting actual scenes from the movie in the game and sound by acquiring the film’s voice talents.

The graphics are ok but could've been better and the audio is typical TMNT fare.

Eventually you’ll find yourself getting fed up with the repetitiveness of each track.

Pac 'n' Roll proudly stands as the king of mediocrity. Not bad, not good, but just there anyway, pushed out of the door to keep the income coming.

A messy port of the year-old Xbox version, bearing disappointing graphics and sound.

Featuring little to no employment of special effects or lighting, some blocky character models, terrible lip-synch and a whole lot of flat, messy textures, Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo is rarely anything special in terms of graphics.

Frantix is very linear in play, but is good if you have a few minutes to spare as most levels can be finished pretty quickly.

If you love to mod cars then L.A. Rush is the game for you, its a modders dream. Unfortunately L.A. Rush is an average title at best and there isn't much to distinguish it from other similar titles.

The Hobbit basically consists of this: Jump here, Shimmy there, Climb up here, and Whack this thing. That’s The Hobbit. If it didn’t have the Lord of the Rings storyline backing it up, we’d be struggling to call it a game.
