    It's still a superlative wargame, but it's not Tiller's best. It is, however, perhaps his most accessible.

    UEFA Champions League is a good game, but it doesn't have the 360 version's card-collecting hook, and it's not much different from FIFA 07.
    • 67 Metascore

    The game has its heart in the right place and provides some entertaining moments, but Assault doesn't quite measure up to the pedigree of its namesake.

    The end result doesn't quite live up to those expectations--for one thing, it's easy to tell that Shenmue II was originally a Dreamcast game, since its technical aspects aren't nearly as impressive now as Shenmue's were in 2000.

    A kid-friendly platformer with more heart than your average film-to-game marketing tie-in, Ice Age 2 can be quite fun--for as long as it lasts.
    • 83 Metascore

    SB's gameplay falls short when compared with its flashy presentation, and the result is an amazing showpiece but a less-than-stellar game.

    Virtua Tennis 3 is a good game, but it plays a little too much like "Virtua Tennis: World Tour."
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's a worthwhile platforming experience for hardcore Potter fans, but some may be put off by all the collection quests and backtracking.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's not an ideal game--the gameplay can seem a little plodding at times thanks to the abundance of stats and options, and the AI is sometimes a little too skilled to be realistic--but overall, it's a perfectly good game of baseball.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Although the game does feature some annoying faults, it boasts impressive graphics, audio, and gameplay in a tight package that most baseball fans will enjoy.

    Takes no big chances with the genre's rules--it's strictly stealth-by-numbers that's highly reminiscent of last year's "Splinter Cell"--but it's a well-made and entertaining game all the same.

    • 73 Critic Score
    The characters and their moves are positively hilarious, and the combat system is complex enough to allow two human players to play match after match without growing bored.

    The half-baked American Idol trappings don't detract from this otherwise solid iteration of Konami's long-lived karaoke series.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The controls, interfaces, artificial intelligence, graphics, audio, and pretty much everything else in this latest game are mostly unchanged from the previous one. That's not a complete negative, since last year's game delivered some great football, but you may be disappointed if you were hoping to see significant upgrades to this year's model.

    Don't let the license fool you. Snoopy's game is loaded with intense air combat that players of any age can appreciate.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    A run-of-the-mill arcade driving game that features spectacular crashes.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The racing isn't exactly the star of the show, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a unique and mostly enjoyable experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    While not incredibly complex, the tactical combat and unique IAS system remain compelling and fresh throughout the 20-plus hours it will take to finish the game.

    It adds seasonal weather, crop farming, and some new group activities that can actually make the challenging gameplay of Sims 2 a more relaxed pastime. For players looking for a slower-paced experience that doesn't require you to keep track of the ins and outs of an in-game business--or constantly watch a hyperactive pet--this is a good thing.

    An approachable arcade-style take on one of the world's most grueling rally races--and a significant improvement on its predecessor.

    Don't let the license fool you. Snoopy's game is loaded with intense air combat that players of any age can appreciate.

    This isn't a game that's going to reel in the longtime Dynasty Warriors naysayer; this is a game that is designed to appeal to an already loyal fan base, and it serves its purpose perfectly.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's definitely a much better-looking game than either of the "Pokémon Stadium" titles, and the new story-driven adventure definitely gives you more context to the fighting (in addition to providing more stuff to do), but otherwise, the game isn't very different from its predecessors.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The game is a competent squad-based shooter that offers a fun cooperative mode and an artificial intelligence that is at times quite impressive and at other times completely boneheaded.
    • 72 Metascore

    Convincing is a good word for The Clone Wars, which ultimately succeeds at making you feel like you're on the front lines of a big Star Wars ground battle.

    Don't let the license fool you. Snoopy's game is loaded with intense air combat that players of any age can appreciate.

    It doesn't reinvent the EyeToy genre, and some of the games lose their appeal quickly or feel a bit too familiar, but the healthy number of minigames included in the package makes it one of best values out there for EyeToy owners.
    • 66 Metascore

    Whereas the console game is bland and broken, the portable game is a lively 3D adventure packed with plenty to see and do.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Although the upgrades are certainly a nice change of pace for what has been a fairly uncompromising series of games, the core game is still much the same as it has always been, and as such, Samurai Warriors remains a game primarily for those already enamored with the Warriors franchise.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's not quite the return of LucasArts-era cartoon adventures, but this cheerful game dishes out a lot of laughs.
