Far from being the next generation of Star Fox game.

It is a refreshing change to play a game that makes you sit up and take notice, makes you really think about every move, and punishes you if you make a false step.

It's the details that we love in this game...Graphics are wonderful, too...Just dont play it in the dark.

Dramatic, hilarious and impenetrable by turn, it's a cold heart that won't be warmed by this one, but hardcore fight fans may find themselves irritated.

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.

If life simulation is your bag, Urbz DS will keep you happy enough while you're on the move.

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 highly polished title that shows that Ubisoft's action-focused approached to the horrific can be gory fun, too.

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

The cartoon style might not appeal to hardcore Tekken devotees, but there's certainly a lot of fun to beaten out of this one.

Tense, powerful, and gripping.

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

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

Invest any time in Dog’s Life and you’ll soon notice you’ve invested more than you originally intended.

FPS fans with a hankering for the often imitated, never bettered feel of "GoldenEye" will find plenty here to luxuriate in, but if you want to shoot people without having to resort to caution you may find this a grind.

The need to command troops might not suit everyone, or the slower, more measured approach to combat. But if you want a unique war game for your console, Ghost Recon is your only choice.

Fans of action titles are almost certainly also big fans of The Matrix, and will be disconcerted by such a pallid tie-in.

A short and slightly limited game....While it lasts, it's a blast.

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.

Good multiplayer options will bring out your competitive side, but there are no online modes.

It feels like being in the middle of an action blockbuster.

Hardly groungbreaking, but it is a laugh. In an increasingly bleak world ("Killzone"), that's enough for us.

Ultimately, it's just Risk with a bare minimum of flashy animation. Obviously it's a faster game than a board-based one to entice you into purchasing, but there are no striking new modes that utilize the console setting. A competent, convenient interpretation that doesn't do enough to banish the board game to a jumble sale.

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.

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.

Extraordinarily simple, and many might find the novelty wearing off faster than they'd like.

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

It's scary. Really, really, really scary...It features the scariest thing in the world. Eerie children singing. [JPN Import]

The locations feel more spacious than the original, too, and missions are varied so drug busts move into car chases with only the slightest hint of nausea...A limited but exciting experience.

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.

Stays true to the series blueprint and moves things forward into the current console generation with style.

It does get repetitive fairly quickly and once you've explored every level from pirate ship to casino, you might get a little bored.

A stylish and spectacular gaming universe.

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.

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

While it might not be the true land of milk and strategic honey, Heaven & Hell is a reasonable enough entry in a fairly small pantheon.

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

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]
