    Great gameplay with excellent control innovations make MVP 07 a great choice for baseball fans. Lack of polish and dull presentation, along with a missing MLB license keep it inside the park.

    Fans get everything they're looking for, with a fresh look and new options. Newcomers will find a slow, tedious experience with inexplicit detailing of progress and overwhelming information and menus.

    Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia is not a bad game, but just falls short in the execution of some pretty unique and inventive ideas. It's still an okay game, and offers some good laughs and interesting gameplay mechanics, but it looks, sounds and plays a generation behind its platform.

    A game with a lot of potential, but isn't quite where it can be. With a team constantly working on improving the experience, though, things look bright for its future.

    Very fun game that is marred by technical problems. The lack of replay is what really hurts.

    Another outstanding title from Level 5 games. If you like RPGs, get this game now.

    Very fun game that is marred by technical problems. The lack of replay is what really hurts.

    Great continuation, hilarious dialogue, pleasing music and easy puzzles make this another solid chapter.

    This game fails miserably because of the unending random battles you encounter every few seconds. The simple task of walking from one place to another turns into an exercise in slow torture.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A traditionally produced RPG that hits many of the right notes for old-school RPG fans, and even new-school RPG gamers. Because of the intense focus on dialogue in this game, it won't appeal to those who want more action.

    If you loved Ace Attorney, go buy Justice for All. If you were hoping for new features to get you hooked or make the game better, though, you may want to pass. It's a fun game, but it's more like an expansion.

    Smooth Moves is THE game to get if you want to have fun with friends while playing the Wii. It's easily worth the price of admission.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's the charm and pacing of this title that keeps you engaged, excited and almost constantly fighting.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Hilarious continuation, and it looks like it'll only get better from here.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    A game that isn't a whole lot of fun, because the basics just aren't executed properly.
    • 75 Metascore

    Elebits is a great idea for a game, but the weak level design and somewhat boring gameplay brings it down. But for young kids, it may prove to be a hit.

    This is another very solid entry into the Castlevania series, and is one of the best games of the year. But where is the innovation?
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Though somewhat short on the MGS series' traditional pantheon of inhuman boss characters to puzzle out how to beat, it's polished, fun, and delivers in all aspects.

    Just what it aims to be. It is chess at the individual, social, and competitive level.

    RoboBlitz is a quaint and easy puzzle game with some very nice visuals, and a very cheap price tag.

    For $20, there are plenty of options for any gamer-Greatest Hits and Platinum titles, for instance-but Capcom's collections are a welcome return to gaming's roots, and Vol. II outshines its predecessors in bringing once-forgotten games back into the spotlight.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very entertaining but clearly flawed brawler.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The gameplay, which is somewhat simplistic and slow, may prove to be a negative for those who want more action from their games. If you're into theme parks and would like to find out how it feels to not only run one but to be an active participant in the creations you make, Thrillville may just be the game for you.

    Red Steel is a good first try for Ubisoft in the arena of Wii shooting games, and the new, unique experience of actually being physically involved with the in-game action may be all that is needed to overcome some of the weaker aspects of the title for some gamers.

    We've played it forever, but it still has that Zelda magic.

    Excite Truck lives up to its name--the only problem may come in how long you find it exciting.
    • 76 Metascore

    Between the huge environment, multiple difficulties per goal, and multiplayer, plenty of replayability is ready to be had in the game. But whether or not Project 8 is worth picking up comes down to how tired you are of the Tony Hawk formula.

    If you enjoy Tetris, Bejeweled, Lumines, Meteos and all of their puzzle ilk, then you will most definitely want to add Gunpey to your collection.
    • 72 Metascore

    Best bet is to buy the PS2 version of the game for your DBZ cravings and wait for the next Wii version.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 37 Critic Score
    There's no fun to be had here, no matter your age. Even for a bargain price, you'd do good to stay away from this one.
