With lackluster and restrictive gameplay, almost no class diversity, and drab graphics, this is probably a game that should step into the Gloom and stay there for a long while.

All of this is overshadowed by awkward controls, yucky graphics, slow down, and too much loading. It's a mess that's beyond repair.

It's a repetitive title that requires little strategy on the part of the player, other than planning when to take the caffeine pills to stay awake through the next "battle".

Reminded me of any given recent Steven Seagal film. Yeah, you'll have your guilty pleasure with it and like some moments of its over-the-top violence, but it really feels like the same old thing, like the after-effects of a good idea gone rather sour in production.

The gameplay remains somewhat fun as you mix up combos and techniques, alone or with a friend, but the difficulty level is questionable and some parts of the game came up lacking.

It's the bracelet-wearing champ of the current crop, at least as over the counter titles are concerned.

Digimon World 4 isn't necessarily a must-have, but, with four players along for the ride, it does provide some decent Digi-thrills.

The mini games are fun but it also feels like the game can get pretty repetitious.

Just average. There's almost no diversity in available forces, and very few things are upgradeable. The graphics are fair, but are blown out of the water by recent entries. Sound is tolerable, but just there as filler.

It fits its ideal child audience and will amuse those young enough to appreciate the cartoons. But Unite isn't really the best thing you can own on the DS right now, especially when you have "Mario Kart DS" and "Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time" available for the same system.

Combat is dull and repetitive, mostly requiring players to repeat the same button combination over and over again.

The graphics are extremely old, which detracts from the game's enjoyment, and there is an overall unfinished feeling to this title.

There is strategy and action to be found, but it takes a great deal of searching, and more patience than a Buddhist monk.

Having grown tired of boring crime simulators, I find playing as a killer shark to be a refreshing change of pace, and the game's various bells and whistles, such as the JAWS theme and the sound of hapless divers screaming underwater are joys to listen to.

Sounds great on paper, but performs abysmally. There is a slight hope for redemption in the entertaining political pieces, but the non-participary combat and poor command system get in the way too much for a player to enjoy the game for more than five minutes.

The gameplay's been tweaked but not really improved, and the game doesn't have a single aspect that propels it into the competition. This Auto's out of gas.

The game is not too hard, and when Raven encounters obstacles that would be otherwise hard to get through, there is usually a moment when "ghost Raven" demonstrates how to get through it.

It's great for the first 30 minutes, but after that you'll be ready to move on to something else.

Nothing more than a total button mashing snooze fest that's about as entertaining as eating a pile of boiled eggs, which for me isn't too entertaining.

Cartoon Network Block Party sadly joins that group of misfit games due to its lack of multiplayer interaction and any sort of gameplay quirks to make it stick out from the bunch.

It's nice to play as different characters, and the presentation is true to the comic book essence, but the whole thing feels like a condensed action affair that we've seen before, countless times.

I just wish they cleaned up the small things, like character appearances or the computer's ability to downright own you on a high-stakes hand. Oh, well, the game still offers a solid hand, and at $30 no less.

The game has most of the necessary ingredients for success, but Bethesda and 7 Studios managed to produce a lackluster hack-and-slash adventure title that features woefully linear level design, mediocre voice acting, and tired swashbuckling.

It doesn't suck, but it's good for all of the wrong reasons.

I literally scavenged through this game for hours on end trying to find any type of enjoyment I could, and only found little moments of inspiration buried between the game's lack of personality, terrible presentation, and sad gameplay.

I gave Spy Hunter: Nowhere To Run plenty of chances to impress me, but it came up short, with its glitched-out graphics and a control scheme that's too wonky for its own good, whether you're on foot or in the car.

Ape Escape Academy is like a drunken scholar- it has all the best ideas in the world but the execution will leave a bad taste in your mouth. The presentation is strictly average, the controls messy, and the multiplayer aspect damn near unexplored.

The Story Mode is a joke, and the Challenge Mode and mini-games are mere shells of what's been included in previous adventures. This Monkey Ball got dropped. Hard.
