Essentially a good game hampered by some careless oversights. Some levels will force players to endure countless deaths (falling into bottomless pits), the camera system is archaic and some bosses are cheap as hell.

Aside from these occasional moments of ludicrously unbalanced fighting, Rocky is a very fun boxing game that does require a good amount of skill to master.

The gameplay and handling are where this game excels. It handles like a dream and there are a multitude of courses, cars and game modes.

It runs poorly, presents itself poorly, and simply is true and utter trash. The only area of remote interest is the 3D level, but that alone isn't worth the price of the game.

It suffers from hideous framerate problems at times but the texture detail is high.

The most adult themed game yet to reach consoles. It features loads of mutilation, blood and gore, accompanied with lots of bad language, none of which is bleeped. In short, this isn't one for the kiddies.

Sonic and Shadow's levels are great, but every one else's levels are, unfortunately, dull. In the end, 1/3rd of the main game is great but hampered by camera and some control issues.

Sure, there could have been a few more monsters included, sure the areas could have been a bit larger, but these are mere quibbles to the fun had in this game.

The gameplay itself is shallow and boring.

Worse yet, there is STILL no save option, it uses passwords, which there is no excuse for anymore. You can find cheats, but with the lack of a save feature you better write them down in a safe place.

It is sloppy, mundane and unforgivably short.

Cramped levels and shaky control keep this worm from being a superstar.

Just too difficult to be fun.

The graphics are good, the music is pretty good and the varied gameplay sets it apart from other games in the genre.

The addition of multiplayer (and co-op even) really extends the shelf life of a rather good puzzle game.

All of the elements of the game are pretty sound, but it occupies a strange place in the sport... too exagerrated for sim fans and not exegerated enough for some arcade fans.

If you own a PS2, get that version instead.

The graphics are well above average, the sound is superb and the gameplay is good, if a tad stale.

Uses a password save feature, which is somewhat disappointing. The graphics are bright and colorful and the music doesn't stick out and distract from the game.

The graphics are fairly impressive by GBA standards, especially if you look at some of the finer details. Unfortunately the visuals are effected greatly by the onscreen display which really limits how much detail you can actually see.

The cuteness factor is a little high (geez, just look at that box art), but don't be deceived, even if you're an adult Turbo Turtle Adventure will keep you entertained for days.

So inherently unfair it is guarenteed to test the patience of anyone. The rock-paper-scissors battles make combat 90% luck while the whole monster collecting sub-theme isn't very strong.

I found no glaring flaws or deal breakers in the game, but despite nifty extras like the story mode and the tutorial mode, VK offers a a fairly simple rendition of the game.

STILL too similar to "Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater," and the changes that were made only work to destroy any fun there was to be had here to begin with.

It suffers from average-at-best graphics, questionable sound effect and voice-over quality and the longest load times of any GameCube game I've ever played.

It's a good game, but since you can blow through it so quickly you may want to give it a rent instead of buying it.

As good a game as it ever was. If you've never played it before, then now is an ideal time to take the plunge.

There are so many enjoyable little quirks and options that it should come as no surprise when I say that this game is worth your purchase price.

The racing style is fresh for newbies to the series like me, but the experience begins to deteriorate after a while. The learning curve is slow.

On the whole, the game is simply a platformer with nothing much to distinguish it other than Tarzan's ability to tree surf.

There’s a little more emphasis on action instead of puzzles like in other Scooby games, but still good.

Buoyed by deep strategies, a decent amount of gameplay modes and a fast-paced style of play.

The game's shortness and lame graphics drag down a piece of merchandise that could have been terrific.

A fun ride from beginning to end, with a variety of different modes and several play options to keep the discriminating race fans enthralled for hours.

A sleek engine, a crazy gameplay style, and reasonably good sound combined with excellent visuals make NHL 2003 quite the pack.

The best 2D fighter released on a major Nintendo console in about eight years. The GameCube controller may not be ideal for this kind of game, but neither are any other next-gen system controllers.

The sound is terrible, background art is mostly horrendous, and the single-player mode is absolutely worthless, as even on its highest difficulty it’s extremely easy to beat.

This game is seriously lacking in all categories beyond its graphical candy coating.

Fantastic sound, great graphics and easily some of the best cinemas yet seen in a video game.

The frustrating camera and repetitive gameplay will ward off most older players after a few hours.

If you need a fighter fix UFC would be the place to go for Cube owners, boring or not it's pretty much all you've got for now.

It still uses falling pieces but the whole 3D angle is a refreshing change of pace.

The clean anime-ish graphics make the tennis action itself easy to keep track of and the audio portion of the game was paid a surprising amount of attention by the developers.

The sound and music aren't awful but are definitely below average.

If you're not into silly kart-racer style gameplay but still want a portable driving game for the GBA, then your search ends with Hot Wheels Burnin' Rubber.

With all the inexpensive technology available today, it grinds my nerves to see that Ubi Soft couldn't program in the ability to save on the cartridge. With passwords becoming less of a trend today, the game is severely hurt.

The complete antithesis of "All Star Baseball 2003." It relies on tons of big hits and arcade action in general to keep its brand of baseball interesting.

Monster Force's largest shortcoming seems to be occasionally repetitive gameplay. Those that can look past that, as well as the game's outward juvenile appearance, should find a solid title with fantastic presentation.

The control and camera are sloppy, but the game is still compelling enough that the typical gamer will want to finish it.

Uninspired.

The original Game Boy Tetris features superior control and is more fun in general than this release will ever be.

Sure, this game offers the most extensive character list ever, but the single player experience here is lackluster and the lousy audio, among other things, drags this game down.

It's a little schizo, trying to tread the line between arcade racer and sim, but it's much more of an arcade style experience on the whole.

That there are better fighting games out there, and better uses of the X-Men license.

The combination of slow and sloppy gameplay and an unusual assortment of bugs makes it impossible to play this game with any kind of skill or strategy.

A sloppy port of two games that weren't that great to begin with. However, for those unfamiliar with the originals it's a solid, but limited, RPG experience.

For classic gaming fans who were there when these titles were new or for retro fans who respect the roots of the industry, the latest edition of Namco Museum is a great budget title to pick up.

Apalling.

The necessity of replaying levels is grating, but Pinobee is charming and fun.

Clumsy controls and irritating design flaws take what was already a boring and mediocre overhead shooter and make it unbearably frustrating.

The epitome of shovelware. The spirit of Robotech is nowhere to be found in this game.

Everyone who plays Darkened Skye should at least love the save system. You can save anywhere, anytime, even right in the middle of a boss fight after you've got your opponent's energy half way down.

The levels are long, repetitive and difficult (for the younger set) while the bosses are usually extremely easy.

It's a good thing "Ecco" is basically tolerable, it's the only game in this collection that keeps the entire thing from stinking.

The poor graphics and lack of save weigh down this game considerably.

The game is as mundane as they come and chock full of bugs.

It isn't a bad game, but its sub-par graphics and repetitive nature don't do anything to help its cause. It is heavy on action, but very light on technique.

Exactly half of this game (The fighting half) is just worthless, and while the other half (The racing half) is fantastic, there isn’t enough of it to warrant a purchase.

Adults: take a point or two off the overall score if you're intending to pick up Stuart Little 2 for yourself. If you're buying it for a young kid, add a point.

Lacking in almost every way possible. Most of the fault, however, lies with the game's sloppy controls, which should be its most polished area.

The biggest problem in Punch King is how shallow it is.

What impressed me the most about Wacky Stackers as a whole were the music and sound effects.

Just average.

The biggest gripe I have is that the game lacks analog control over acceleration and braking.

The control is sloppy and the graphics and level design confusing. The lack of the original Pitfall is the final nail in the coffin.

The thing that I hate the most about the game is the use of passwords to save progress.

The new additions to the "Frogger" gameplay actually end up hurting Zapper rather than helping it.

It seems almost impossible to hit enemies when they are two close to you. Funny, as I remember it, light sabers weren't used from a mile away.

All the pretty graphics and solid sound in the world can't make up for a boring game with sloppy controls...a sheer waste of time.

While the game does have its strong points, including a high degree of accessibility, the reliance on 8-bit era play mechanics and graphics make Army Men Advance look like Army Men Color.

A perhaps otherwise decent game made boring by a complete lack of personality and a poor presentation.

A likable diversion but not a very memorable one.

A very novel concept, but other than its characters, it is average in every way.

The game is just too short with so-so graphics and questionable handling.

Where Frogger is simplistic fun, Zapper uneccessarily complicates the gameplay with tedious item collecting and backtracking.

Every bit as average as Reign of Fire the movie. A few interesting missions save it from being a trainwreck but the visuals and controls could have used some serious work.

The three boards are each a little on the dull side and the play mechanics are uninspired.

It's good the first time around, but it fizzles after that. More modes, power-ups, and characters would help.

The completely implausible story, the variety of situations McClane finds himself in and some genuinely funny dialog help elevate it out of the junk heap.

The game is made artificially difficult and despite how short the levels are (looping enemies nonetheless) you may never see the ending simply because the gameplay is that dull.

The lack of in-game music and any real saving option really hurt this title. The speed boost problem is also very annoying but at least with some practice gamers will get used to the unforgiving handling.

Dated graphics, shallow gameplay and a playing time of about 40 minutes to an hour for the main arcade mode are just some of the reasons to avoid wasting your money on this.

It’s plagued by poor design, flooded with glitches and fails to capture any of the drama or emotion present in the book or the movie.

There's a really good game here trying to get out, unfortunately, the lightning wasn't captured in a bottle this time - it struck square on the head.

Fans of the movie and even fans of the genre should steer clear of this disappointment.

The game’s hit detection is horrendous, the boss fights are excruciatingly aggravating, and even without all its flaws, Daredevil would still only be a bland and repetitive platformer.

It can't compare to the original NBA Jam. While the gameplay is good in most respects the control scheme is aging and the physics and AI need some improvement as well.

This one has horrible written all over it and I can honestly say I can't imagine anyone liking this one for more than 5 minutes.
