    The game has 5 fast skull breaking levels which may look like it's not much, but it takes a while to get through them all, because it is unbelievably hard.

    Like Kirby's old games, its simple fun but it won't last very long. If you want a nice simple multiplayer game that anybody can step into without too much effort, this is a game to consider.

    The action is addictive enough to try and finish it, which will take about 15 hours.
    • 83 Metascore

    The story may be weak and the opposition dumb; the lack of depth doesn’t have to stop you from having a great time blasting some Soviets in this otherwise decent game.

    The first play through is genuinely enjoyable and the two-player option just about as good as it gets. Given the number of bikes on the track it's a shame that a four-player option wasn't included.

    Plain and simple, if you played/own this game on any other system that it’s been on then don’t bother handing over your cash for this one, there is nothing new or different in it.

    A lot of fun to play, it’s filled with good puzzles and because of the varied levels you’ll have a good time right untill the end. Too bad that end comes a bit too soon though.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It’s frustrating at certain points, while other gameplay is sloppy executed.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Good for quick laugh, but that's about it. No multiplayer, and limited gameplay means there's not much life in this game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Although it has more than its fair share of good points, Need for Speed 2 should have been so much more and you can't help but come back to that annoying frame rate.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Not enough was spent to really think about the story or the gameplay in my opinion as should have been.

    Batman has never looked so good and for once the developers have taken as much care with the gameplay and story as they have with the overall presentation.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The biggest problem with LA Heist is that although it's on the so called 'next gem' consoles it's not as enjoyable or immersive as SCI's stab to the genre some years ago.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Overall the Streetfighter games have always been annoyingly hard, and in times where gameplay is focused on a merely mainstream type of gamers, this game probably suits the need for those hardcore arcade action lovers.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A nice game, but it doesn't offer enough to be anywhere near special. The AI is not above average and the lack of online modes hurts the longevity.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An entertaining racing game, but also has quite some faults, most notably overtaking and handling. If you think you can live with the shortcomings mentioned above, and are eagerly awaiting something like GT for your purple box, this is what comes closest.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    What hurts the game though is the fact that it's so short, with little replay value and most players are likely to complete the whole thing in two or three sittings.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It’s mostly 2D, it makes minimal use of the DS’s unique features and there’s nothing here that you haven’t seen before.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Credible, honest stealth; but imperfect, limited stealth too. The Xbox version is, again, vastly superior, but the GC game's Co-op still throws up a memorable experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you have 4 players then you would struggle to find a more entertaining game, but with fewer players it's just slow and pointless.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It doesn’t look as hot as the Cube-exclusive Resident Evils but you get used to the visuals pretty quickly. The controls are pretty much as clunky as in the first few games (you can use the C-type controls introduced in the remake though), so if you don’t have a problem with those you’ll be fine playing Code Veronica.

    All credit to Midway for trying their luck with the football market, but they should have left things up to the big boys; ‘FIFA’, ‘ISS’ and ‘PES’.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is very addictive and a lot of fun. But the puzzle mode has a replay factor of absolute zero. Anyone who would go back to it for fun would be a mad man.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Truthfully, it isn’t a bad game, but its appeal only reachs a small niche.

    If only Another Code was double its length... It’s enjoyable and unputdownable until finish.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The actual gameplay lends itself far more to a handheld format and for that reason alone, if you actually own a Gameboy Advance, you're probably better going for that version.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The special moves look nice and the game is relatively easy to pick up, but that's about all it has going for it. So don't buy this unless you absolutely have to, for whatever reason that may be.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It’s a pleasant experience, though. Not as good as Zelda, but the Harry Potter-sauce surely lifts it above average.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    If you can look beyond the dated graphics, the basic gameplay model and of course if shooters are your thing, then you are in for quite some fun, and that’s what it is all about really.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    So enjoy this game for what it is, a fun jumping game that can keep you amused for several hours if your willing to spend time trying to collect all the bonuses and complete the mini-games that Acclaim has arranged for you.
