The game lacks multiplayer which I think is really a shame; it would have been great to play with several friends and roam the Caribbean trying to sink each other.

Though this game offers the old-school aspect, this game didn’t even do so well throughout the years it was released so the appeal may get you to try the game but in the end it is, truly a let down.

While the idea is there, and it's great to see a director and studio trying new things, the execution unfortunately falls a bit flat.

I enjoyed playing the game even though it is more Diabloesque than like Final Fantasy.

In the end, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a standout licensed product; one that every movie-game tie-in needs to learn from.

It's fun, but it's not the Rock Band experience.

Many of Space Marine's shortcomings are somewhat understandable should this (hopefully) be in for a long-run franchise. There might be breakout hits, but Relic's new shooter appears to be focused on getting key features nailed down on its first pass, rather than spreading itself thin with totally useless aspects.

Offers enough to amuse some friends on a Friday night, and more than enough to please hardcore fans of the original anime.

Taken for what it is (a high budget, sci-fi, old-style shooter with a low-ball story) it's a lot of fun. It's a short game, clocking in at around 8 hours on normal setting, but it has legs due to the strong multiplayer component and well-designed maps.

This is an okay skateboarding game that utilizes the Wii's special controllers to give you a realistic experience.

While it offers a unique, new experience to the platform, it is nothing that is groundbreaking but can still be fun to play through once just for the historical novelty.

Madagascar certainly delivers for the younger demographic, but those older players may reach critical boredom pretty early on in the game.

An improvement over Empire Earth, with newer graphics, more settings, options, and the original EE editor. Some serious work went into this game, just not enough polish overall.

While it isn’t horrible, there isn’t any groundbreaking material included. However, I could easily recommend this title to any racing fanatic.

Definitely meant for hardcore adventure players, and anyone who has good experience solving puzzles. It offers both an attractive if not overly compelling storyline, great-looking graphics and good (although as I've stated above, very hard) puzzle elements.

DA2 is certainly a well-acted and better-looking game by dropping its ported qualities, but without the thoughtful structure and fully realized world like that of Origins, it's one that exists in the hyphenated space of "action-RPG" where the first 5 hours are almost identical to last 30. The demo was a good taste of what Dragon Age 2 could have been, it's just a shame it never goes anywhere beyond that.

NITRO's point-based structure and pick-up-and-play gameplay caters well to those looking for quick spurts of action, but it's unlikely to see an intense cross-pollination from those in need of in-depth racing sessions on the Wii.

Definitely lacking in some departments. However, the game functions well as a simple-structured fighting game, with the partner system a welcome addition.

It may not be groundbreaking or the type of game you’d spend hours trying to master, but Fast Lanes Bowling is still good fun and offers something a little different in the bowling genre.

Whatever else is said about Perimeter, there are a lot of very good, very different ideas coming together here.

Its simplicity and accessibility make it a good bet for first timers to the genre, but this same lack of depth will make veterans of turn-based strategy titles wish for a bit more.

One of the worst downfalls we found in the PS2 version was the lack of an online multiplayer mode, which is intact in the Xbox and PC versions.

Essentially, this is a well-constructed game. It looks good. It plays well. It keeps you interested. But soon enough you’ll have finished it. It’s good at what it does, but you’ll wish it did more.

Like most games in its genre Batman Begins isn't a game we're likely to remember in a year. It's a good game in most ways, but even if it introduces some interesting elements into the gameplay I doubt it'll be enough to appeal to those not heavily into Batman, or the action / third-person action genres.

Essentially a straightforward first-person shooter with a crazy girl giving your character headaches and hallucinations of damnation, F.E.A.R 2 may have some things going for it, but for the most part, its execution lacks imagination.

Arguably the best feature included with the game is the inclusion of 4-player simultaneous play. Much like Super Smash Brothers, or Power Stone, battles are an all out free-for-all brawl.

The ability to assign many administrative tasks to AI routines helps to make Victoria more accessible, but if you’re new to the genre, you still may not be prepared for the overwhelming amount of data for which you’ll be responsible.

Ultimately, although Gungrave: Overdose doesn’t look or sound fantastic, and it doesn’t feature the most spectacular gameplay, fans of Gungrave and/or button mashers will certainly enjoy this title.
