    Had some potential, but thanks to mediocre gameplay and a rather incomplete storyline (both products of poor developing execution) Galerians: Ash has "bargain bin" written all over it.

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

    xXx
    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.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Unoriginal and repetitive.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    Simplistic in concept and design, and tends to feel like a mini-game that was included in a more ambitious product.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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).

    My advice: do yourself a favor and stay clear of this well-marked landmine.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    It attempts to focus on stealth, but fails. It features poor combat, and there are not any puzzles to speak of. The game lacks any significant focus, and as a result, lacks any specific strength. Of course, the god-awful controls didn't help either.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    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.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Mediocre at best, but the straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that there is no battery to save your scores to. No battery, no scores, no fun.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    The graphics are somewhat outdated for being on the PlayStation 2 and unfortunately the gameplay lacks as well.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The game ultimately fails due to flawed and shallow gameplay.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Its gameplay is solid while it still holds true to the original Tetris concept and is addictively fun.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A fun little time waster that keeps on bringing the fun with countless levels of increasing difficulty.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The fighting is slow and boring, with even slower controls, the graphics aren’t much, and the sound is just average.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Graphical scalability and an intuitive interface are heavily outweighed by poor graphics and sound, uninspired gameplay, and a lack of scientific information about the dinosaurs you are exploiting.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    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.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    While the actually gameplay is without much issue, it borrows heavily from other games, particularly the "Rogue Squadron" series, making its mission-based gameplay highly unoriginal and trite.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An engaging and challenging urban adaptation of the sport, Freestyle Street Soccer offers a solid arcade sporting experience. Balancing traditional soccer gameplay with easy-to-execute tricks and stunts, the game is simple to play.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    While there are many teams to choose from, the gameplay is uninspired, mostly due to the poor AI, which it won't matter what team you choose. You can see all that Ultimate Beach Soccer has to offer in less than ten minutes. OK, under five minutes.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Replay value of Scream Arena is low due to its repetitive, yet enjoyable, gameplay.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A technically sound game that exudes banality.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The graphics are simply poor. The sound is painful to the ears at time, although it stuck very close to the original game.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 14 Critic Score
    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.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    Underachieves in all aspects of game design. The level design and gameplay are boring, unimaginative, and repetitive.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A technically sound game that exudes banality.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The controls and gameplay are as poorly designed as the graphics and audio.
