    As for the gameplay, it does just enough to outdo previous Gundam games, though its repetitive nature won't please everyone, and the lack of online play hurts. Still, it does offer a few hours of robot smashing fun.

    We dislike some of the controls, and the games that suck in real life are just as annoying in the video game. Four person multiplayer enhances Carnival Games' appeal, but it's not very addictive.

    As always, Tiger's a fun game but the 08 version comes up short of earning green jacket status.
    • 79 Metascore

    The introduction of hooks and slices results in shots that veer off too easily to the left or right, even for the steadiest hand. That's too bad, because the rest of the game lines up nicely.

    With over ten courses to choose from and a multitude of upgrades to purchase in the store, there's always something to look forward to.

    Instead of blazing through the galaxy using a more traditional game controller, tackle enormous bosses and solve head-scratching puzzles using the Wii's remote and nunchuk. The experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

    Slowdown and ugly bit mapping occur (especially during cut-scenes) and the game doesn't really feel exceptionally different from last year's. Nevertheless, MotoGP '07 is a fun and addictive racing game.

    The single-player campaign ends way too quickly, but the multiplayer campaign more than makes up for it with several co-op and competitive missions.

    It is far from perfect, but if gamers need some tactical action away from their living rooms, GRAW 2 definitely satisfies.

    It's a solid effort that may not bring a lot of ingenuity to the fantasy RPG genre, but still provides countless hours of entertainment.

    The game is simple to play, but unfortunately nearly impossible to master, due to the overwhelming amount of swirling colors on the screen.
    • 96 Metascore

    The first-person shooter's great looking, has an engrossing storyline, a perfect balance of action and exploration and a totally customizable combat system that can be described as nothing less than video game rapture.

    Incredibly accessible thanks to an ample introductory section of the game which teaches new players the ins and outs of the genre.

    The wonky voice and touch screen recognition annoys us, but we always give Brain Age 2 another chance, probably because we buy Nintendo's line that it makes us smarter.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With an uninspired plotline and by-the-numbers missions, around 30 hours of sleepy questing and a repetitive multiplayer mode only the diehard need apply.

    A very average game. Square Enix should take the quality interface and build off that to produce a much more enjoyable experience.

    SNK faithfully restored each game, and while the lack of extras hurts, we wholeheartedly recommend it.

    After two disappointing efforts the last two seasons -- disappointing by the high standard that EA's football franchise set for itself over the years -- Madden NFL 08 redeems the franchise as one of the best-playing football games in recent memory.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It knows what works best, and rather than reinvent the wheel it focuses on smoothing out the kinks. Visual and performance drawbacks aside, Madden NFL 08 more than suffices.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Don't purchase Madden NFL 08 expecting beautiful visuals and slick looking menus. Buy it because you crave a more interactive experience as well as modes that you can't find in the other versions. With 22 mini games, trivia and fun controls, this gridiron giant runs the pigskin into the end zone.

    Not much has changed in the gameplay, outside of enhancements to the Hit Stick and the distribution of "weapons".
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Madden NFL 08 for the PSP feels like the black sheep of the family, a game that wants to fit in so badly with the rest of the football clan but comes up short way too often to get there. Maybe next year we'll see a game with better timing throughout its presentation, a functional multiplayer set-up and more modes.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has improved better than anyone could've expected. A step forward always beats a step backward. Players left with no choice but their cherished portable should definitely check it out, especially for some paper wedge-flicking action.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although the game doesn't go the extra mile like other current-generation versions on store shelves, Madden NFL 08 still provides a solid game of football.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game still holds up well, with a solid (if not entirely amazing) presentation and fun gameplay. The new defensive play touches are nice, particularly when it comes to directing a lead blocker into the thick of traffic.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game still leans heavily on the "it's the journey, not the destination" theory. Tomb Raider: Anniversary provides a meaty enough adventure to be worth a purchase. Crystal Dynamics has done well meshing the nostalgia of the old game with an all new experience.
    • 64 Metascore

    This compilation has some graphical issues, particularly with lighter details and loads of pop-ups. However, the gameplay still works wonderfully, both with single-player and the new multiplayer games.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's hard to say who the game was meant for. Maybe the game just shouldn't be played at all.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We also dig the presentation, which includes an impressive soundtrack and convincing letters from the main characters as they struggle with the spoils and successes of warfare.
