Falls short in almost every aspect of a western style shooter. Fans of the arcade style of run and gun gameplay will find some value in the game but for the most part fans of the shooter genre will find an excellent concept for a game gone a stray.

Its main flaw is a lack of depth, whether it be in the graphics department, menu options or gameplay itself. What little strategy The Third wave involves is mostly geared towards stumping the clumsy AI.

The game is worth at least one run through, but after that the experience relies on inconsistent online gaming where the biggest challenge is finding someone to play with.

There are no interesting weapons to find, no magical armor or shields, no amazing magic spells to learn, and no interesting enemies.

If you’re a fan of stealth gameplay, avoid Mission: Impossible: Operation Surma because it involves neither tactics nor stealth. Even if you are an avid Mission: Impossible fan, this game has little to do with the franchise other than its name.

Not only is the gameplay not fun, it is downright boring. The button mashing beat ‘em up is a genre that needs to be done away with and this game is a perfect example why.

Despite great graphics and wonderful sound quality, a shallow plot, sketchy gameplay and a rip-off feel make this title one you could leave on the shelf.

Despite a moderately intriguing story, the game suffers from jarring controls and a clunky combat interface. While the visuals are generally good, the audio is lacking for a survival-horror game and a few glitches prevent a truly enjoyable experience.

This game stinks like raw, untreated, sewage. The gameplay is short lived, repetitive, and poorly balanced.

A lack luster game that had fewer strengths than weaknesses. Featuring repetitive voiceovers, an unorganized interface and a story that never becomes as exciting as it sounds.

The game is simply lame and feels like a cheap project that was not thoroughly designed. What could enhance gameplay? Nothing, if you ask me.

Thrown in the face of a history of outstanding action gaming, Chaos Legion may just be one of the worst action titles of the year. Imperfect controls and lackluster gameplay.

RHEM harkens back to the days of classic PC puzzle-adventures like Myst. Unfortunately, RHEM doesn’t possess quality graphics and audio to make it palatable while sitting and contemplating its tough puzzles.

Combine a quickly aging game with a sloppy porting process and you have a lackluster game that can only claim high amounts of gore as a selling feature, although even that comes off flat.

One of the major problems with the game is the maps all look very similar. This causes another problem, which way do you go? I found myself getting lost a number of times just to have to run around to get back to where I needed to be.

In all sports games, but especially baseball, long-term engagement involves such fundamentals as tracking statistics, drafting players, and building successful teams. ISP2k3 fails to provide this.

It is never a good sign when most of your fun comes from laughing at the game, and you derive enjoyment in continuing to play so you can find what else is wrong with it. Skip this one. It represents a low water mark in my library of arena fighting games.

If the developers concentrated on one console version at a time, then maybe there would have been more depth and polish besides the fascinating dinosaurs.

There are significant flaws in every aspect of the game that drags down the quality of the racing experience, minimizes replay value, and reduces immersion in the game.

It baffles me how a game like this could be made. I cannot fathom why, during the development process, someone did not just say, “Enough is enough,” and scrap the project entirely.

A mediocre "Dance Dance Revolution" in Jungle Book clothing.

Its graphics proved it worthy to at least be played, but its horrible gameplay flaws caused it all to just end up in a tangled jumbled mush.

My advice: do yourself a favor and stay clear of this well-marked landmine.

While the game is graphically impressive, and it has very tight controls, it's just no fun. Lara has been reduced to a simpleton, and so has her game.

It is worth a rental for the interesting four-player battle mode, but this one interesting feature cannot save a game that is lacking in so many other areas.

The graphics are simply poor. The sound is painful to the ears at time, although it stuck very close to the original game.

Unoriginal and repetitive.

To put it bluntly, I needed to force myself to play this piece of unpolished drivel. First, the control has the most atrocious interface I have ever had the displeasure to witness.

It's tedious, frustrating, poorly designed, lacks any sort of graphical flair, and is all but guaranteed to induce boredom within the first ten minutes, never mind the approximately two hours it takes to finish the game.

Fighting games need deep, balanced gameplay to rise to the top, but X-Men: Next Dimension is severely hampered by shallow, unbalanced fighting action.

Because of this control scheme, moving your sub is a constant frustration, as positioning your sub is very hard, and precise movements are damn near impossible.

The controls and gameplay are as poorly designed as the graphics and audio.

With outdated graphics that showcase choppy animations and low-resolution textures, and below average audio, plagued by horrible voice acting, the game’s presentation fails.

A graphically eye catching title offering multiple game choices and services to use in the development of your perfect casino, but looking past this glitter and technical stability is a title offering no long term gameplay or challenge even to novice fans of the genre.

If you could somehow combine watching paint dry and reading a choose- your-own-adventure novel, you'd have Myst III.

With the exception of new culture specific powers that are only available in multiplayer gaming, there is nothing in EEAC that enhances the gameplay experience or adds to what is available from the core Empire Earth game.

The whole game concept is worn and exhausted, the graphics are shallow, the gameplay is repetitive, and the sounds are poor.

The game ultimately fails due to flawed and shallow gameplay.

No soul, no panache, no cool. The extremely repetitive gameplay and poor controls, along with mediocre graphics and a sub-par plot make this title a strong candidate for the bargain bin (or maybe even the round file).

Overall, the game puzzles are too easy, which makes the game boring at times.

The concept is interesting, if somewhat strange, but the slow, difficult, gameplay and poor graphics make the fun come screeching to a halt.

Offering no new gameplay styles, limited map enhancements, and unorthodox NPC AI, Aliens vs Predator 2: Primal Hunt seems to be just that, a primal update to an excellent storyline driven series.

If half the effort was spent on improving gameplay as was exerted in acquiring licensed products, then the game would have been much better. Sadly, this is not the case.

Underachieves in all aspects of game design. The level design and gameplay are boring, unimaginative, and repetitive.

In [Shrapnel Games'] 5 reasons to own Space HoRSE: They don’t make games like this anymore...Thank god! This one makes me want to go back to my Vextrex.

One major flaw in the game’s level design, is how not one of the levels seems to have anything to do with the movie.

Although I have no gripe with the stable of boxers included here, I think the game would have been a lot more enjoyable if other equally despised personalities were licensed for the game. Just imagine the possible matches, Tyson versus O.J. Simpson, Hussein versus John Rocker, Bin Laden versus Enron board members. That would be fun no matter how bad the game sucked.

"What in the world was Midway thinking?” That was the exact thought that went through my head as I continually played this travesty of a game.

Even the inclusion of some new game variations (for Tetris anyways) cannot eliminate the feeling of having been here, done that, and seen everything there is to see many times before.

Definitely more fun multiplayer than alone, I'm still not sure how long you'll want to play this one after the novelty wears off.

Nothing short of an utter failure. Though Seven Studios did many things right, the horrible gameplay drags the rest of the game down.

The graphics are somewhat outdated for being on the PlayStation 2 and unfortunately the gameplay lacks as well.

Lacks any great game modes, the controls are wacky at times, the AI needs some major work and the name just doesn’t fit.

Exceptionally bad. The graphics are terrible, the sound is worse, and the gameplay is boring and slow.

Simplistic in concept and design, and tends to feel like a mini-game that was included in a more ambitious product.

While the lack of strategic depth and animal-centric theme might have made this a good candidate for younger gamers, an under-developed audio/visual presentation will probably lose their attention quickly.

It didn’t look good, it didn’t play good, and it didn’t sound good. You’d probably have more fun playing backgammon online with your mother-in-law.

It's a rush job, pure and simple, and it really is a shame that a once respectable series was reduced to this level of pure and utter deplorability.

It’s a shame when a good-looking game gets ruined by the fact that it’s not any fun to play.
