    The game's combat system and excellent graphics makes up for a weak second half storyline and ho-hum characters that bring the go down a notch and I have no problem recommending it to role-players that find themselves mostly ignoring those aspects of these games.

    While all of Getting Up's diverse elements are to varying degrees lacking, the game ultimately comes together as a moderately entertaining experience.

    Overall The Rub Rabbits is a very nice diversion well suited to a handheld. Just don’t let the young ones play it, otherwise they may truly believe babies come out of cakes.

    The game does continue on in the Tales style, but the bulk of the content is only average.

    With the vast choice of characters to choose from and the huge number of gameplay modes, it is easily the best fighter for the PSP.

    In my opinion the 10-year-old game this cartridge contains just does not hold up in 2006 and the clear lack of consideration for the needs of the platform earn it a below average "C-" score.

    Despite the fact that the game has a franchise mode of sorts (you sign free agents in the off season rather than holding a draft), this isn't the kind of game that you'll most likely play multiple seasons as you would Madden or NCAA unless you're simply a die-hard Arena League fan. The game simply doesn't have the legs for it.

    At a time when so few GBA games are getting released, it does shine above its contemporaries, but it is after all just another really solid platformer for a handheld that has several competent entries in that genre.

    The only thing I could find wrong with it was the occasional issue with the camera, not allowing you to fully rotate it. The storyline is fun, even though it is lovey dovey.

    Something I cannot forgive is the combination of the camera, controls, and the lack of serious fun playing the game. My niece found it more amusing to chew on the controller after all.

    Seriously, I've seen shockwave games that had more excitement than this. For $20, do not buy this under any circumstances.

    The game delivers on overall superbly realistic racing experience, while still being able to maintain the sheer fun that keeps you going back for more action.

    I would pick True Swing Golf over Tiger just due to it’s innovative stylus swinging system.

    Be careful though, rolling the marble is so addictive that 30 minutes will go by before you know it!

    If you aren't a fan of the series or haven't delved into the SS series in the past, chances are you won't take too kindly to the dated graphics and unbalanced gameplay.

    Unique, challenging, and a ton of fun. The game proves that baseball is baseball and when it's done right it doesn't matter if you're using Pedro or a young freshman from Kansas. It's still the National Pastime.

    25 to Life does include a somewhat entertaining multiplayer aspect, but not enough to keep your attention for very long.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Absolutely, positively not worth $40 or even a rental for that matter.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Still a solid, fun game and fans of the series are probably going to enjoy this installment too. On the downside we have a game that has not seen much innovation, is not that aesthetically attractive and has fairly annoying camera problems.

    Even though I have great respect for the combat system Wild ARMS 4 employs, the game just has too many flaws to bring it above average.
    • 73 Metascore

    In the grand scheme of things, this collection of X is quite good, though I prefer the original series for its curtailed story and straightforward gameplay.

    If you need a game that you can pick up at any time and immediately jump in for some quick brain teasing, PQ is definitely one to snag, but if you are looking for a game that is action packed and will have you on the edge of your seat, this may not be your cup of tea.

    The concept of the game if really neat, but when it is put into play, it disappoints. It ends up feeling like it is a side game to a larger game, like a little bonus unlockable.

    There’s nothing incredibly new or earth shattering here, but you can absolutely enjoy it for the fighting game that it is.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Problem is, I’ve been here before. The gameplay is nothing special. There must be a dozen games of similar design and feel. This particular title certainly hones and refines this style, but there is nothing to shout from the rooftops.

    Graphics are very good, and sounds are even better. Control is very easy once you get the hang of it, and the game gives you a great tutorial to start things off.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Fun and enjoyable game play could have easily made up for the lack in graphic quality. Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is an all around below average product.

    Parents, avoid this game if you don’t want your little tyke smashing his expensive DS against a wall in frustration. Dragon Booster fails in nearly every way and never should have seen the outside of the development studio.

    The same incredible acrobatic moves and puzzles are included with this little bundle of joy, as is the story line that continues from the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time."
    • 75 Metascore

    So for the same old good game with a new way to control it, Bust-a-Move DS earns an above-average "B" score.
