    Pocketbike Racer
    Unfortunately, once you remove the lovable Nintendo characters from the formula and replace them with soulless agents of advertising, you've lost most of the appeal. You're left with a slightly disturbing and shameful mockery of what was once a cherished wholesome media icon; sort of like Michael Jackson.

    Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
    The game feels cramped and limited. Linear levels where there’s little room to explore on your own attribute to unchallenging gameplay.

    Resident Evil Outbreak File #2
    It's having to help brain-eatingly bad A.I. (alone) or trying to cooperate when you can't communicate (online) that makes survival horrible.

    Young Thor
    Young Thor may be decidedly average, but considering the likely target audience, it should be money well spent if you need a cheap game to satisfy a young gamer for a day or two.

    Dead Rising 2: Case West
    While there's still fun to be had in slicing, bludgeoning, and shooting zombies, the surrounding elements in Case West are far less conducive to amplifying it. Die-hard Dead Rising completionists need only apply.

    Mad Dash Racing
    The "funny animals in footraces" genre tends to feel forced. In that tradition, Mad Dash Racing lacks emotional appeal; it’s a character game without likeable characters.

    A Witch's Tale
    A Witch's Tale has good ideas, but these disparate elements are too haphazardly implemented to raise it above mediocrity. It's got its heart in the right place, but good intentions do not necessarily equal a top-shelf product.

    The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian
    You’ll often find the interface working against you.
    • 53 Metascore

    Transformers: The Game
    Paying $60 to play through the movies story is just too high a price to pay for a mediocre adventure game.
    • 53 Metascore

    Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dawn of Destiny
    The 3D graphics give a crisp look to the fighters, but the actual battles are too short to fully enjoy—though it does move the game along briskly.

    Red Ball 3
    Despite its neat exterior and innovative puzzle design, due to some persistent issues with the quality and reliability of the gameplay, it's clear that Red Ball 3 could have stood a few more run-throughs.

    Reign of Fire
    Repetitious missions and cumbersome controls pilot Reign of Fire headfirst in the dirt.

    Shall we date? Heian Love
    It's tough to recommend Heian Love, even as a Shall We Date? game (hell, a cursory glance at the developer's other games reveals Ninja Love, which sounds infinitely more interesting), but hey, if it's your cup of tea, I'm not one to stand in the way of romance.

    Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part 2
    Watchmen: The End is Nigh, Part 2 is a straight up brawler. You have a couple of combo attacks and blocking maneuvers. There is almost no gameplay variety as you button mash your way through the three chapters.

    Zoo Tycoon 2 DS
    Campaign proceedings are frustrating as hell for one reason: spontaneous failure.

    Romancing SaGa
    Moderately pretty graphics and average sound don't offset the labored frustration that follows playing this stilted title. [Nov 2005, p.146]
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Chase: Hollywood Stunt Driver
    To its credit, Chase is nowhere near as hair-pullingly difficult as Stuntman, while at the same time it doesn't have the level of intensity that will keep you coming back for more.

    FIFA Street 2
    Bad controls, horrible voice-over (it's just as cliche as it was last time), and the trademark and annoyingly pervasive EA Radio will tax not only your brain, but also your ears. Soccer may be a beautiful game, but it's about time to kick FIFA Street 2 to the gutter.

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
    I give credit to this game's developers for working in the cool new visuals and features that they managed to fit in, but for a $7 "remake" of a 15-year-old game, the bar was too high UMK3 to reach.

    Fairytale Fights
    There's just nothing to hold your interest over the long haul and while roaming around with some friends helps, it just isn't entertaining enough for me to recommend it to anyone, not even those who love fairy tales and platform titles. [Jan 2010, p.82]

    Need for Speed Undercover
    It's clear that the Need For Speed series is in need of a GPS unit so it can get back on track.

    Omega Five
    The gameplay gets old quick. Shoot, scroll, shoot, scroll. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Thrillville
    The minigames will wear thin quickly for adults, while the management will prove too confusing for the little ones. If you love building roller coasters or playing party games with your buddies, you'd be better off with Rollercoaser Tycoon or Mario Party.

    ColorZ
    anything, Colorz serves a purpose reminding players that people suck at multitasking, all while testing their knowledge of the color wheel.

    Miami Law
    Weighing in at five cases, Miami Law isn't a terribly long game nor is it terribly original, but for what it is -- a rather mindless police point and click -- it's a decent enough adventure.

    Urban Chaos: Riot Response
    Urban Chaos tries to be different than other FPS titles, and it manages to get a few things right. But shoddy visuals and generic action bring the game down to the depths of mediocrity. [July 2006, p.78]

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2
    Since the controls almost never change from character to character, there's very little difference between all the fighters-you've seen one, you've seen 'em all, in other words.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    One Piece: Pirates' Carnival
    It's wacky and weird and has some funny moments. It's just too bad that the actual gameplay can't seem to keep up with that kind of creativity.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Guitar Hero: Van Halen
    Even though I am not their biggest fan, I still felt like the band deserved much better than this half-assed effort.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Warriors Orochi
    More a mediocre tribute to past games than a fresh experience. Unimpressive graphics, a mundane fighting system, and a slate of characters borrowed from other titles leaves Warriors Orochi a stale appetizer left on the plate as you wait for the "Dynasty Warriors 6" main course.
