    "Virtua Tennis" fans will feel right at home with Beach Spikers and new players will be blown way by its involving gameplay.

    The cube version has had an interface overhaul and great new multiplayer modes, but it's basically the same game as the GBA version...This game is all about fun and pure gameplay.

    A retro classic.

    Sure this game lacks a bit when it comes to the foot levels but the other single player levels and multiplayer modes will make you overlook the issue.

    It's good but lacks having any special feel. It's got all the ingredience of a fighter that we have all grown towards and learnt to love.

    It’ll infuriate and irritate you to no end, but it’ll also evoke a level of wonder and satisfaction to eclipse it.

    This is a good game, wielding a light saber is really cool, but because first-impressions are so bad, some may be tempted to return it before they even get they’re hands on a lightsaber.

    Don’t play this game unless you have the rest of the day to thrash out your anger on the small, cute zoo animals.

    Twisted, deep, engrossing and genuinely different. It's a very grown-up experience, stretching what games can be and making set-piece based scare-em-ups like the recent "Doom 3" look horribly crude and simplistic in comparison.

    Redwood created a magnificent detailed Middle Earth, and fans of LOTR will be pleased because of that. Yet for those who regularly play RPG's the game offers nothing you have seen before, it suffers from repetitiveness and a more than mild difficulty level.

    As close as you will ever get to "Goldeneye" on your Cube. A brilliant storyline, superb graphics and fun gameplay make this a near-essential FPS.

    Oh and that password feature I just don't get why it's there and why you have to use it to replay the avalanche tracks. That's the biggest downside I can think of, why couldn't beating the avalanche tracks just unlock them in the Time Trail mode is mind boggling.

    It’s an RPG with battles! What more do you want? But it does have its down points, one of them being a high level of frustration endured in some places and don’t forget there being no mini games.
    • 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.

    The game can grow on you although it will never surprise you. If you are a fervent platform lover and can pick this game up at a fair price, you probably won’t regret it. Otherwise, leave Pitfall Harry as it is.

    Without a doubt the best puzzle game on the Cube at the moment. It’s not as accessible as a Game Boy with "Tetris," but that’s simply because you can’t carry your Cube with you all the time.

    The first game in quite some time that captures the feeling the old Sonic games gave you. It’s very fast and has pretty big levels with multiple routes through them.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The simplistic controls greatly add to gameplay, as it is easy to pick up and start playing right away.

    Electroplankton’s value is very difficult to quantify, and on its own terms succeeds in what it set out to achieve- a ‘touchable media art’ piece of software (creator Toshio Iwai’s words) and in that context it is difficult to find fault with it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Truthfully, it isn’t a bad game, but its appeal only reachs a small niche.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The lack of options is a real bummer, as there isn’t much that will keep you entertained, other than the impressively large NBA season mode.

    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.

    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.

    There’s a great deal to collect and unlock in Billy Hatcher, so if you enjoy rolling eggs around you can keep doing so for quite some time after you’ve finished the game.

    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’.

    • 58 Critic Score
    While I'd usually applaud this type of game design this one is simply too repetitive to truly recommend.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The gameplay is relatively basic but intriguing nonetheless and especially suitable for newcomers who have a slight interest in the genre or people who are looking for something different for their cube.

    I can't really say more than 'YOU NEED THIS TITLE' for no other reason than to prove how games should be done.

    You’ll have a great time playing Wario World without any doubt, but it’ll be over before you want it to be. If you don’t want to spend money on short games, try to rent or borrow Wario World, it’s really worth playing.

    A great war game; great controls, great atmosphere. It continues the road walked with Frontline and tweaks some of the elements.
