Though a little repetitive, this game is a must for fans of the movie. [JPN Import]

Metal Gear's move from all-out action to turn-based strategy has been handled with style. [JPN Import]

Pyrotechnics aside, this is a solid sports title.

Levels can be bland at times, but there's some breathtaking aerial work to be performed...A difficult and sometimes frustrating ride; however, it is engrossing and ambitious.

A worthy addition to the franchise.

A pleasant addition to this templated tale.

Not as much much fun as EA's other recent speed merchant "Burnout 3," but if getting under the hood to tinker with motors is your thing, this could be the one for you.

One of the most harrowing action titles we've ever played...The game itslef is well crafted. The enemy A.I., however, is a little shaky.

Very impressive power-ups...There's a lot of joy to be had by simply transforming and riding about.

With its improved control system and animation the FIFA series is heading the right way across the pitch in terms of fluid gameplay, but even with these improvements, it still hasn't caught its greatest rival.

Overall Drill Spirits comes across as fun, if a bit samey.

If you want your strategy to lean toward "SimCity"-style social engineering, then look no further than Heritage of Kings.

Overly sophisticated elements have been held back to appeal to the younger gamer but some hugely tricky jumping puzzles are bound to cause frustration. Luckily, gameplay is varied. If you get stuck, you can hit the road, and before long you'll be faced with a different challenge.

Mixes stylish visuals and interactive sounds with the all-important addictive quality that a puzzler needs. [JPN Import]

Occasionally one of the most frustrating games in recent memory. It's either completely on rails, or completely random...Often confusing, irrational, and doesn't feel like it's been play-tested enough.

A real disappointment... falls a long way short of reaching the benchmark of its console predecessor.

If you're gonna have odd features, make them essential... A good game, but a slightly wasted opportunity.

A bit like a cross of "Parappa the Rapper" and the film "Animal House." The sleazy humor is fun for a while but gameplay can get repetitive.

Faithful to the movie where it counts, but it's also fun and accessbile, even for non-RTS fans.

The only real problem with Joe 2: It's way too similar to the previous title...Still, a terrific game. Challenging, but never to the point of frustration.

Far from being the next generation of Star Fox game.

Easy-to-use and versatile.

When trying to sum up this game's single-player missions, the first phrases that come to mind are hopelessly outnumbered, completely surrounded, and best hide behind a big rock quick.

This game plods, frustrates and bores in equal measure - stick a stake in it.

Rebellion has taken a sci-fi world tailor-made for an FPS game and created a title that feels like it could have been made six years ago.

Completely and utterly relentless...It's totally unforgiving... For devotees and masochists only.

Unfortunately, Nanobreaker's badly-positioned save points and miserly-supplied health pick-ups made the experience more frustrating than entertaining.

A very run-of-the-mill platform adventure...It's all spoon-fed to you.

Disappointly average visuals...Suffers from erratic controls and tired gameplay.

About as interesting as keeping a pistol for a pet...It's a fine technical achievement, sure, but there's little game here. The graphics alone keep Killzone off the bottom.

Overall it seems like the production attitude was, to quote the Simon Cowell-managed Westlife, "Hey, whatever." A very poor cash-in, and one to avoid.

Rengoku's clunky control system does well to convince you you're a steel-clad cyborg, but unfortunately this rigid feel doesn't lend itself to an enjoyable game. [JPN Import]

It's just not very good...Missions are hamstrung by some sloppy ideas and a noticeable lack of playtesting.

There are flashes, bangs, and crashes, but after more than an hour of playing it, the only thing you're really want is to lie down about a few rounds of Majong...If called upon to describe MA2 in a single word, that word would be relentless. This game is furious, sure, but it definitely isn't fast.

Quite rough around the edges which suggests that it was rushed out to meet the DS launch date. Very disappointed.

It's graceful to the point of being sedate.

It's just not very good...Missions are hamstrung by some sloppy ideas and a noticeable lack of playtesting.

The control system is nothing but a pain, with the analog stick used mostly for combat, and no camera control of movement. Even making Nina run is a button-mashing effort.

How is it possible to make a tedious game about the adventures of heroic mutants with super powers?

Anyone thinking of "getting a life" would be well advised to do so in the real world rather than this one. There's nothing wrong with the execution - it's the concept that's so dispiriting.
