    It should be an instant classic, but the bugs and design oversights keep it from reaching its lofty potential.

    With the great graphical style that Ultimate Spiderman brings and the spectacular cutscenes, Ultimate Spiderman really is a feast for the eyes, although the PS2 version did have slow downs at times that the Xbox didn’t.

    There are way too many game elements that hinder the game's overall fun factor – and without a patch, you may have problems with a variety of bugs - including the ability to save your game.

    A niche title geared towards fans of fantasy themed turn-based strategy games looking for something light and fun.

    Undeniably charming. Technically, it's not the best role-playing game on the market but it is loaded so much personality that its problems melt away underneath a blanket of just plain fun.

    Like all the classic games that are a moment to learn and long in the mastering, We Love Katamari will find itself spinning in many gamers’ PS2s and will be the center of attention at your parties long after other games are on the shelf collecting dust.

    Unfortunately being forced to play through the storyline mode is what really brings this game down.

    A word about multiplayer - Heroes is vastly improved in this area over its predecessor, delivering six-player online play via Xbox Live with a myriad of variations including deathmatch and team play.

    You will find destroying environments very satisfying, as well as the enemies. The storyline is fantastic and true to the Marvel world.

    Frantix is a no-frills puzzler in dire need of a personality transplant.

    The biggest weakness of DK: King of Swing is that the play mechanic of swinging between countless pegs can get a little repetitive.

    It may be one of the few games that can be played by a child and parent together without insulting the intelligence of the adult or frying the brain of the youngster.

    Its lack of any type of multiplayer support is a serious hindrance to its long-term enjoyment, but lonely strategy fans gaming on the Cube will find it a must-buy.

    Along with the many hidden features in the game, power ups, skills you can gain, the latest entry into the long line of Mortal Kombat games is definitely worth checking out and has our hopes up that there will be future installments.

    A satisfactory diversion on the PSP that’s hampered by some control and camera issues. It could have been a lot more fun.

    Aside from its superior presentation, about the only really good thing that can be said for Urban Reign is that it is not available to offend on more than one console. That’s right PS2 owners, you can be proud you took the bullet for all gamerdom.

    Audio is superb – from the excellent EA Trax to the sounds of metal crashing into medal, you want to make sure you hook up the headphones for this game.

    For me, Burnout Revenge is more of the same – new tracks, new cars, new events, but same basic gameplay.

    Evil Dead Regeneration is all in all a fun and funny game to play, definitely the best Evil Dead game to date, and even with the very apparent bugs and rather short game play time, there is only one word to describe this game. Groovy.

    There's a ton of cool content and some great puzzles but it's all weighed down by loose driving controls.

    Only two things really let me down. First off was the combat system. The dated concept puts two players against each other while lacking the fun multiplayer options most of the other games have.

    A fun, bright and colorful world filled with lots of oddballs and cut-ups that make the overall presentation a lot of fun to play through - despite the actual role-playing being an average experience.

    Its slower, more thoughtful play style coupled with the ability to save mid-battle makes it a perfect game for on-the-go playing.

    Bugs and roster issues aside, for $20 this is a no-brainer for hockey fans – it's one of the best, if not the best, hockey games of all time and no fan of the sport should miss it.

    Unlike many racing games, it doesn't feel repetitive. It feels as though you're always doing something new.

    If you were hoping to get some historical insight into a company that has been around 50 years and in the latter half of its existence adapted very successfully to the new video game medium, forget it.

    The minigames, which could have filled out the shortcomings of its multiplayer and single player components, were a major let down.

    Yuke's has done a decent job of improving the GameCube franchise, but it is still playing catch-up with the "SmackDown" series.

    Even with no multiplayer, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is a game that is well worth the time.
    • 48 Metascore

    Beatdown is a solid fighting themed action role-playing game brought down a notch by too much area transition loading and some limited promised features (like the ability to interrogate every character in the game).
