    • 96 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    The story is rich, the world is very believable and the gameplay is near flawless. It's been a long time since I played a game this good.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The game is bigger and deeper than previous incarnations. The core gameplay is still the same, but now there's a lot more to it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great RPG, one of the best for any system. If you've never played the original on the Dreamcast, buy Legends immediately.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The sound and music aren't awful but are definitely below average.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The control and camera are sloppy, but the game is still compelling enough that the typical gamer will want to finish it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The modifications to the gameplay system take it down a notch from the Sega CD original and the PSX/Saturn remakes and the translation is a little sloppy in places, but the experience is still mostly a positive one.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The graphics are well above average, the sound is superb and the gameplay is good, if a tad stale.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Fantastic sound, great graphics and easily some of the best cinemas yet seen in a video game.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    While Zelda Advance is really two games on one cartridge, each is brilliant and very solid in its own right.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A touch on the short and easy side, but other than that you're looking at a remake of a wonderful classic made far better by incredible graphics and presentation, as well as numerous extras and multiplayer features.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    As long as you don’t expect the fast pace and energy (not to mention multiplayer action) of it’s arcade and console counterparts you should have fun with this game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Decent. Well thought out. Done before.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a little banged and bruised, but it gets where it's going.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It would have been nice to see an automap feature for the dungeons in PS1, but all things considered, PS Collection is one of the best compilation titles to hit the GBA yet.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The new characters, new battle system, the Krypt and psuedo-3D engine all help make the portable version of Deadly Alliance a decent experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The graphics are average at best, the control has issues, the load times are nearly unbearable and the constant one-hit deaths will really get on your nerves.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It faithfully reproduces what was one of the best surprises of the GameCube launch in almost every respect!
    • 51 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Just a mess. The underlying play mechanics are OK, but the graphics are so bad they actually impact the gameplay significantly.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Hardcore Metroid fanatics may be turned off by the way the navigation computer holds your hand through most of the game, but all others will find an expertly crafted adventure title.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A very novel concept, but other than its characters, it is average in every way.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    Roughly twice as long as any Metroid game to date. The in-game clock doesn't count time spent scanning, looking at the map and replaying areas after dying, which would actually make the game three or four times longer than any Metroid game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The combo system is a throwback to seven years ago, but the three-style combat helps elevate it above the older MK titles. Just don't go into this one expecting "Virtua Fighter."
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Good for kids. Good for people you don't like. Not good for you.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    The game is as mundane as they come and chock full of bugs.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The biggest gripe I have is that the game lacks analog control over acceleration and braking.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The new character swapping system works really well but the new item system is as problematic as the old one.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The extras included in Mega Collection could have been spiffier, but they're interesting enough and round out the package well.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Where Frogger is simplistic fun, Zapper uneccessarily complicates the gameplay with tedious item collecting and backtracking.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The new additions to the "Frogger" gameplay actually end up hurting Zapper rather than helping it.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Clumsy controls and irritating design flaws take what was already a boring and mediocre overhead shooter and make it unbearably frustrating.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A sleek engine, a crazy gameplay style, and reasonably good sound combined with excellent visuals make NHL 2003 quite the pack.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Simple addicting gameplay and graphics ranging from nice to outstanding are wonderful to behold, but the absence of a keyboard seriously hurts the online play and community.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Some average gameplay and graphics team with some decent sound this game isn’t horrible but not great either.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It suffers from hideous framerate problems at times but the texture detail is high.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The epitome of shovelware. The spirit of Robotech is nowhere to be found in this game.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The gameplay itself is shallow and boring.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It has nearly the exact same feel as the full-fledged console versions.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    I really got into "THPS 3" and I'm happy to report that THPS 4 is a better game in every possible way.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    That there are better fighting games out there, and better uses of the X-Men license.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The level to which you can control and customize the game is astounding and when you couple that with the easy to use MapMaker you'll see why TS2 may just be the best console FPS of the year.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Some might find the control a tad complicated and some missions overly difficult, but the action is very solid, overall.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Its presentation is laughable to the point where it probably would have been unimpressive even on the Game Boy Color.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Simply put, NBA 2K3 is the best basketball game ever made.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The frustrating camera and repetitive gameplay will ward off most older players after a few hours.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    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.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is one game that truly is timeless, and it shines on the Game Boy Advance as one of the best games on the system.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's all pretty standard platforming fare with nothing to really distinguish it from the rest of similar titles except for the license.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's a good thing "Ecco" is basically tolerable, it's the only game in this collection that keeps the entire thing from stinking.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The difficulty is a bit high if you've never played a Ghosts game before, but the new save feature should help alleviate this problem. I'd say that so far this is far and away the BEST SNES port to reach the GBA yet.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The combat is boring, the menial fetch-quests are boring and the backtracking gets downright frustrating.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Apalling.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Not as good a game as "Circle of the Moon" when all is said and done. Yes, it's generally easier on the eyes, but the somewhat dull level layouts, constant backtracking, awful music and colorful style hamper the Castlevania experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Egg Mania isn’t the best puzzle game around but it is one of the most original and is visually appealing.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A very good surfing game that’s distinct enough to stand on its own, but doesn’t reach the same level of brilliance as games like "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" and "SSX."
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There’s a little more emphasis on action instead of puzzles like in other Scooby games, but still good.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As a non-sports gamer, I recommend this game to all other non-sports gamers or arcade-sports fans in general.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This game does some things really poorly, and others exceptionally well...Just be careful... it could take over your REAL life.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    On the whole, the game is simply a platformer with nothing much to distinguish it other than Tarzan's ability to tree surf.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A perhaps otherwise decent game made boring by a complete lack of personality and a poor presentation.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The ability to use both the gun and sword (other weapons as well, later on) gives the game a fantastic mount of variety that could have made it the best Mega Man game to date, but time and again this freedom is overshadowed by the shackles of restrictive design that was intended to make the game harder, but ends up sucking the fun out of things.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The three boards are each a little on the dull side and the play mechanics are uninspired.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great action-sports title to just sitback and have fun with.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Just too difficult to be fun.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The best platform game in years, but I can honestly say I didn't enjoy it as much as Mario 64. [Import]
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The new multiplayer games, except for Monkey Tennis, don't really measure up to the originals, but they are, afterall, just icing on the cake.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Calling the GBA version of NFL Blitz 20-03 a bad game is an insult to bad games. It's craptacular! The game looks, sounds and plays awful.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The play mechanics are rock solid, but the game is definitely lacking variety.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    xXx
    Fans of the movie and even fans of the genre should steer clear of this disappointment.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While the game definitely is top notch, there are a few areas that could still use a little bit of tightening in order for it to really stand out.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Even the most hardcore Tetris fans will be upset with the sloppy multiplayer and arcade modes and the lack of meaningful new gameplay.
