I’ll be shaking my head and wondering what went wrong to create this seriously flawed game from a great development team working with a strong license.

Boring (and maddeningly uninspired) techno music nips at your ears as you move through insanely limited and basic design elements to the car, and then race in a game that looks like someone finally figured out the hi-resolution mode on the Nintendo 64.

The only thing that saves this game from a [20] score is the fact that Global Software did recognize they had a weak title and priced it accordingly.

The enemies are varied enough and can be deadly, but they are animated poorly and just look bad.

It would be cool to have a Splinter Cell or Metal Gear type game on the GBA, but Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma isn't it. Decline the mission and disavow any knowledge of this game's existence.

Far from exciting so even the studious may lose their adoration over time.

This game blows. With graphics that rival those produced in 1994, this game will have your eyes bleeding in pain from having to look at those grainy, choppy, blocky animations and textures.

They had to reach back to Berzerk’s, one-stick control scheme and then tack on a bunch of button presses to achieve what could have been done just by using both of the Dual Shock’s analog sticks.

If you have the patience to deal with the game's problems and don't mind a patch or two then you might want to pick up this game, otherwise wait for Gothic 3 or some other action RPG to waste your time on.

Despite the chaos you can create, everything happens at the same time for the same reasons. There will always be a cop car with its lights on at this corner; that boat will always be there at this time, etc.

From muddy graphics to the weak mechanics, this simply is not a title with any lasting appeal, even to Gundam Seed fans.

At the dawn of 2004 not enough time has passed for this to be a retro title and now it just feels out of date. I also suppose that if it were budget priced at $19.99 and a player who was curious about the Resident Evil franchise wanted to pick it up, I'd recommend it. But at $39.99... I can't do that.

I'm sorry Tecmo, but even though we mech sim fans are rather neglected and abused these days, that doesn't mean that you can shovel out a pile of dung and expect us to start devouring it. "Unacceptable" is a label I can slap on just about every aspect of Gungriffon: Allied Strike.

If, somehow, you're able to get past the pervasive and ceaseless problems with the camera, underneath it is a halfway decent action game that suffers from repetitive gameplay, ceaseless backtracking of the "find the blue key and then run halfway across the map to use it" sort, and an utterly inane story.

The game is so hopelessly generic, even with what little is does get right, it just can't rise above what it is... another "me-too" game.

There just isn’t enough punch in this game to make it last in today’s hardcore gaming market.

A perfect example of what happens when you try to follow inspiration yet forget to bring your own intuition and imagination.

Add some quite wonky camera controls, only slightly above-average graphics, voice acting that is little better than House of the Dead’s, and load times that are so slow and frequent that they would test the patience of the Dali Llama himself, and what you have is a game that is a chore to play.

Gamers who just happen to be both cyberpunk freaks and strategy addicts might find some real value from COPS, but overall this is a very disappointing title that most gamers would be better to pass on.

This is the crappiest RPG that I have ever played in my life. We all know that the N64 is limited when it comes to RPGs, but it appears that THQ didn't even try to make a decent game.

You'll like this game if you like: grainy, blocky, choppy, ugly football.

Unfortunately even at 40 bucks, the price is about 30 too much and the game can’t be relied upon to provide anything other than brief moments of cool sandwiched between hours and hours of frustrating mediocrity. Dragon Blade isn’t budget—it’s low rent.

As a game that's now a franchise, I cannot understand why this game was made and after playing it, I'm even more underwhelmed.

The potential existed here for a good game, yet it's been squandered due to poor mission structure and downright bad cooperative intelligence.

Godzilla Unleashed lacks the vibrant, larger-than-life, destructive mayhem of other Godzilla titles, and there really aren't enough redeeming qualities otherwise to warrant a purchase…or even a rental.

However, Mr. White's wild ride isn't the only thing included in this package – there are also a few new schematics for making new weapons. These can be accessed in the regular game as well as the DLC. This is a cool feature if you're new to Dead Island or are on a new playthrough, but there's not really enough there to warrant paying for the DLC. Dead Island is still a game that deserves to be played if you missed it last year – but Ryder White can be safely skipped.
