    Even though the wingman mechanics and canyon races don't quite pan out, it's still a stylish and enjoyable street racer.

    Featuring many fun, faithfully adapted games from the '80s and '90s, the Sega Genesis Collection offers a fantastic value and a big slice of gaming history.

    • 66 Critic Score
    This game is surprisingly enjoyable for a few hours, but after that it goes from good, mindless fun to mind-numbingly repetitive.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Steering Cars with the Wii Remote works pretty nicely, but some of the minigame control schemes and a few Wii-version-specific bugs conspire to drag down this film-licensed racer.

    Burdened by clumsy controls and predictable artificial intelligence, Tenkaichi 2 is a game that can be loved only by forgiving DBZ fans.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    Not even the allure of shiny robots with guns for arms can liven up this mind-numbingly simplistic and repetitive over-the-shoulder shooter.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    This is a quality version of Defender that will definitely please fans of the original, but the game doesn't hold up especially well today.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    This simplistic brawler's condescending attitude and one-note gameplay make it worth dodging.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    A one-trick pony that boils down to the same basic maneuvers and slow-paced combat. It also horribly overlooks its license. You'll deal with Klingons and Romulans, but the dull story and unrecognizable characters could have been used in any generic intergalactic setting.

    SingStar's American debut presents a decent song list, solid microphones, and sparse but functional game modes that amount to a reasonably entertaining karaoke package.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Still about as good as Super Monkey Ball has ever been, and it serves as a great example of how the Wii's uniqueness can be put to good use.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Not only is this a nicely done remake of an influential, little-seen early chapter from this long-running role-playing series, it's also an all-around solid RPG.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The tacked-on motion controls and lack of online support take some of the shine off this otherwise dependable superhero adventure.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    Sonic the Hedgehog may share its name with the Genesis original, but this game is even more broken than most of the other recent Sonic games have been.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Tomb Raider: Legend offers a good mix of gunplay and puzzles; it also shows off the system's 3D capabilities.

    As was the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 version of Madden NFL 07 is a very good football game that doesn't quite live up to the full potential of the latest console hardware. And while the game looks and plays quite good on the PS3, the added Sixaxis control support isn't really that impressive.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Madden NFL 07 for the Wii isn't just a quick-and-dirty port. It's an excellent use of the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities that revitalizes Madden in a number of ways.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A great game with thoroughly enjoyable multiplayer, quality presentation, and some mildly-interesting tilt-control support. It is missing a couple of features that its Xbox 360 counterpart contains, and the frame rate is far less reliable in this version, but the overall intensity and playability of Call of Duty 3 remains intact, despite these few issues.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Call of Duty 3 for the Wii manages to overcome its lack of multiplayer and a sometimes-unwieldy control scheme with an exciting and enjoyable single-player campaign.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A passable but unexciting racing game that substitutes the finesse of the other Tony Hawk games for simple and scattered action.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Resistance doesn't attempt anything wildly different than other first-person shooters out there, but by offering a strong selection of interesting weapons, plenty of ruthless foes to shoot them at, good level design, and an excellent presentation, it accomplishes what most such games fail to do. A fully featured multiplayer mode for up to 40 players rounds out an exciting campaign.
    • 55 Metascore

    While this action adventure game flexes a bit of the PlayStation 3's graphical muscle with its mythical Japanese scenery, its rather shallow, derivative gameplay makes it difficult to recommend.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    This simplistic brawler's condescending attitude and one-note gameplay make it worth dodging.
    • 76 Metascore

    More than just Mario Party with a different mascot, Rayman Raving Rabbids makes great use of the Wii technology to create a bizarrely enjoyable minigame collection.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Mark of Chaos captures the fantasy combat of the popular Warhammer franchise in a beautiful way, but it's marred by some technical issues and a basic strategic campaign.
    • 52 Metascore

    Not even the allure of shiny robots with guns for arms can liven up this mind-numbingly simplistic and repetitive over-the-shoulder shooter.

    Although it lacks online play, Bionicle Heroes is a surprisingly adept and enjoyable first-person shooter.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It's a straightforward remake of Koei's cult-favorite rhythm game, but Gitaroo Man still knows how to rock.

    It's another great entry in the SmackDown! lineage that suffers only because what it fixes and improves isn't necessarily what is wrong with this aging game engine. Fans will undoubtedly enjoy it for what it is, but they'll also certainly be wondering if a true overhaul of the series is on the horizon.
