A decent RPG for the young crowd, so if you own a Gamecube and want to introduce your little ones to the role playing genre, its a good place to start.

Feels and plays like a rushed money grab - Raven is better than this and should have walked away.

While its gameplay is neither perfect nor original, it is still fun to play nonetheless.

One of my favorite games of the year. I think once the novelty of the Diggles' antics wears off there is plenty of playtime left.

Examining Northland as a strategy game, it fails miserably with ridiculously tedious micromanagement gameplay that falls behind the times.

Does a good job of staying faithful to the original game, while extending and deepening the gameplay experience by a huge degree.

Fun, original, and well made, which I’m starting to realize, doesn’t happen very often with games. A bit short and not without technical difficulties.

The solid storyline and terrific voice acting hold up the considerably difficult gameplay. The often repetitive and overly simplistic combat system is spelled by some decent stealth elements and a few slick features.

The ability to develop individual units, in addition to a central lord, makes the game an attractive offering for those seeking compensation for their gameplay efforts.

The gameplay made an attempt at doing something different, but only managed to make an already easy game even easier.

A reliable, well-designed and fun shooter title to provide you with some intense gameplay both in single player and multiplayer versions.

Too easy and too short, CSI's only noteable aspect is the authentic voice acting and recognizable name.

The environments are full of life.

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.

The controls are fairly well created however the game moves at a slow pace and unless you have mastered the combos before the match your robot will be laying on his back most of the game.

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.

The graphics are only average and the gameplay is plagued by a couple of nasty control issues.

While the game’s aspects of real-time strategy fail due to poor AI, the action role-playing elements play out fine, if not repetitious. A severely marred visual and audio presentation prevent Joan of Arc from making up ground lost in gameplay.

The graphics are very dated, and aside from some of the complications and innovations it has a pretty old school RTS feel.

Only stifled by its lack of variety, Rayman Arena features well-designed and engaging gameplay.

Weighed down by repetitive gameplay and non-obligatory item collection, the game is uninterestingly simple.

I did feel that certain tasks took a lot of time and the need to search everything made for some tedious work, but the comedy relief did its job and made up for the shortcomings and created a decent play experience.

The game looks nice, plays nice and is a blast if you can stand getting through the first few missions.

Only good for kids who are good enough at games to overcome the game’s difficulty level.

Hardcore RTS fans will be unimpressed with EOTAs strategically-lacking and limited combat, hands-off management, and overall dull brand of gameplay.

A mindlessly entertaining strategy game...it doesn’t break any new ground, and it becomes somewhat repetitive in a short amount of time.

The online multiplayer runs pretty smooth and the maps are very well designed, although not overwhelmingly eye-catching. Each level is also liberally littered with weapons and ammo so that you’re never at a loss for something to kill people with.

As long as you're patient and can handle the complexity that goes into managing a hotel, you'll do just fine with Hotel Giant.
