The result is a collection of good intentions and ideas that sound great in theory, but play poorly.

The game suffers from collision detection problems, clunky controls, awful A.I. and sub par graphics. While Showdown may entertain old school wrestling fans, it will certainly leave most people frustrated and disappointed.

It's merely a very standard game that's all about mindless blasting and consuming copious amounts of Red Bull, to which I say, rock on!

The game isn't perfect, and suffers from some oddities here and there, like some "stuck" moments in level design, lack of originality, and, uh, Vanessa Carlton, but otherwise, it's definitely worth checking out.

The game's poor graphics and sound really sour what's a solid package, and makes the game's $50 price tag hard to swallow.

It's way too monotonous. Lots of button mashing, frustration, and stupid AI don't a good game make, at least not in 2005.

MtB:RS is a rather short, uncomplicated "budget" strategy game that certainly helps teach the fundamentals of "how to" play an RTS to gamers just breaking into the genre, but will offer virtually nothing to the experienced strategist.

Moderately enjoyable, mainly because the character selection is so diverse. When's the last time you saw Pooka from "Dig-Dug" show the Prince of All Cosmos who's boss?

This could've been a fantastic crossover title that really highlighted some of the company's greatest games, but instead is a competent game that features solid fighting and little else.

The leveling system includes only the bare essentials, which takes the thrill out of leveling up. Worst of all, there's no multiplayer!

A first-person shooter with a fairly interesting premise, but uninteresting gameplay. This is as straightforward as games can possibly get.

Unfortunately, it's not really all that fun for those of us that aren't hardcore either. After playing this game, I'm in no real hurry to hop into another jetfighter sim anytime soon.

The gameplay is fairly lackluster when compared to non-licensed games in the genre. The ability to transmute objects is a nice addition, but it simply doesn't add enough to keep non-fans interested.

The heroes are interesting, the story entertaining, and the battles get adrenaline pumping.

The story mode is so razor thin and pointless I didn't know who the enemy was, and after breezing through most of the game, to have the last decisive battle be beyond difficult (because of the controls) made the game very unbalanced.

Its tiring shooting sequences, somewhat rushed production value, and lack of replay value hurt it badly.

The technical execution of virtually every aspect of this potentially great game is embarrassing beyond reproach. Even patched, there are a myriad of crashes, glitches, heinous load times and other bugs that should have never gotten past beta.

This game gets boring quick, and the frustration induced from agonizing over the awkward controls makes Yu Yu destined for the dark bargain bin pit of despair.

Despite some small amounts of flair and likeability, the series has now hit rock bottom. Between technical glitches, uneventful gameplay, a flat story, and the worst on-foot missions ever accomplished, the game just gets nothing but flats.

Road to Freedom isn't terrible, but it's exactly like a boring significant other. The fire burns out way to quickly, and what you'll be left with is an empty shell of a game that you'll dread coming home to night after night.

Bandai's string of horrible anime-based games continues, as Zatch Bell! Mamodo Battles is yet another boring and mindless beat-em-up starring characters who look and sound extremely annoying.

To be brutally honest, I'm not entirely sure why Monolith wasted their time making this game, other than to cash in on the franchise. It doesn't look any better, and there is absolutely nothing new in the way of gameplay.

Atrocious collision detection, clipping, stupid AI, horrible end of match transitioning, and an annoying Career Mode are just a few of this game's numerous flaws.

Sure, there should've been more channels and things to interact with, but the pet Pikachu, Pichu Bros. episode, Pokemon minis and the near infinite amount of pictures to color make this a mandatory purchase.

With none of the original voice talent from the movie, you're likely to find very few laughs and almost none of the heart you saw in the theatres.

Just a cookie cutter style platform adventure wrapped around a horrible license that's apparently brain washed lots of impressionable children. But not this guy! NOT...THIS...GUY!

Repetitious gameplay isn't always a bad thing if the game is properly designed around it. Unfortunately, Digimon World 4 doesn't fall into that category.

The slow animation and lack of difficulty make it one of the most boring sports entertainment games that I've ever played.
