Great Graphics and quality sound provides an overall good game that seems to be lacking in the gameplay area, not due to lack of depth but the difficultness just isn’t there and the game comes across too easy for many.

Gliding across the sea watching numerous other ships and submarines firing at each other with planes flying overhead is great, and adds to the tension and representation of World War II.

Its addictive gameplay and good visuals pay tribute to its predecessors by holding onto the values of its old creation. R-Type Final really allows the R-Type series to go out on a big high.

Unless you've never played the first Wario Ware or are going to take full advantage of the multiplayer aspects, there isn't really too much new for you here.

The best game of its kind on the console, primarily due to its excellent free-roam career mode that adds extra realism and enjoyment, doing away with the standard menus that some other games still employ.

The graphics are pretty damn good and the single-player is fairly competent for a largely multiplayer game.

Once you get into the games antics you'll see that there's actually a solid foundation built for a good quality adventure game, with a nice famous cartoon character under your control.

An enjoyable game with lots to do and unlock that is sure to keep you occupied until "Gran Turismo 4" arrives.

Levels are often linear and heavily scripted.

The short sessions ensure you grab as many pedestrians as you can, but, like an arcade game, you get bored of it quickly, and wouldn't play more than 15 minutes at a time after the novelty has worn off.

This game appears to be suited for the younger audience but not too young as some of the evil characters are freaky with their weird screams and looks they may scare the little ones.

Unfortunately, battling takes up most of the Story mode unlike the Game Boy outings which had a lot of side-missions for you to do rather than continually battling other trainers.

An ambitious, brutal, slice of Americana with a great look, great story, and some great experiences to be had but, frustratingly, it doesn't all add up to overall greatness.

The new innovations to the genre are likely to be copied by other games. Ultimately Driver Parallel Lines is definitely worth trying out.

A seasoned gamer may just feel that it is a little bit too easy for them, but its worth a look with outstanding graphics and decent sound.

The gameplay is solid and enjoyable. The visuals fit the atmosphere wonderfully, the sound is suitably heroic and epic and the gameplay gets rid of some of the tired conventions of the genre and in their place introduces new ideas that help move it forward.

A rather slow game, which gets incredibly fast with bad camera angles at unexpected times.

A great game but the fact that everything it delivers has been seen and done before brings it down.

If you're a fan of the series, this game is an essential purchase. It will only disappoint you if you have no idea how to handle the Z warriors.

The final singleplayer bonus mission that you unlock is actually quite rewarding for fans of the older movies.

More boomerangs, much more diverse gameplay.

Once all is said and done, there’s next to no replayability factor for Pac-Pix. There’s really no need to go back and challenge a chapter you’ve already completed, and once beating the game, Pac-Pix may indeed grow a nice dust layer on top.

Younger gamers will love it and will definitely be begging for it after seeing the movie, while older gamers will easily pick out its flaws such as its linearity and short lifespan.

There is a wide and varied range of modes, which will keep you playing for ages. This also adds to the replay factor which will also be very high.

As well as being able to play a match with normal tennis rules there are many different types of matches, which help add to the longevity of the game.

The controls do take a little to get used to but once you have mastered the controls then you are in for a treat.

It is still a nice paced game that will take you a while to beat and require a fair bit of time for the not-so-talented gamer, but graphics have seemed to have dropped to a level that the PS2 can handle, and the camera angles are shocking along with the aiming system.

If you’re a Punisher fan, you’ll most likely love this game. It offers a good solid campaign that will last around six to ten hours depending on how fast you cruise through it.

The swimming is clunky, and the game is way too easy, and hence, short. Ultimately, it's the perfect rental.

This game is a solid title for anyone who wants no holds barred brawling wit superheroes!

There aren’t many puzzles in the game, which help to eliminate constant battling in RPGs, and therefore the game can become a repetitive - albeit enjoyable - hack and slash adventure, often leading to lower motivation to keep playing.

Unfortunately experienced FPS players may find they aren’t being offered anything new in the game.

The sound is superb, something about singing while you are in battle is enjoyable and at times you will find yourself singing along to the game.

The game however takes a mere 8-10 hours to beat for the average gamer, and Xbox Live extras only include one more downloadable level.

The game can be finished on easy overnight with just 12 missions to play, but there are a lot of reasons to go back and play each of the levels, especially with the medal system.

X3 – Reunion is bigger, and visually more impressive than any of the X titles that preceded it. However the game play can be very repetitive and you can lose interest unless you are a dedicated player.

The graphics are very crisp and look great and the soothing music suits the game perfectly. It’s evident that research has been put into the game to capture the movements of dogs correctly, and it really shows in the end.

A fantastic game, the more I play, and the more I like it. Sure there is no real single player, but the online game makes up for it.

A first-rate game. Don’t forget that it’s on the Nintendo DS, or your standards might be set incredibly high.

A unique and interesting concept for a game, but unfortunately some ideas were put forward early in to the development of the game which finalized in a title that seems unfinished and thrown together by amateurs.

What I didn't expect was that the areas themselves would take up so much space on the overall map and that one victory would take over multiple states. I also didn't expect that the units would be so incredibly limited.

The worst in the series, but is by no means a bad game...The most disappointing thing about the game, though is that it only borders on being scary, and this has always been one of the biggest elements in the Silent Hill series.

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.
