    Complex levels and a lengthy quest almost make up for the game's derivative design.

    The Clone Wars offers an ambitious step up from previous games in the series, but a ton of small issues across the board lead to boredom and frustration.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This role-playing sequel is a reasonably good time, but it doesn't nail some important basics.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    An ambitious undertaking, so the developer certainly deserves credit for trying something different. However, the experience is undermined by unreliable technology and some poor game design.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    You can't help but feel that a much better job could have been done if more time had been spent making sure that everything worked correctly.

    The Clone Wars offers an ambitious step up from previous games in the series, but a ton of small issues across the board lead to boredom and frustration.

    [It] features a wealth of gameplay modes and an impressive amount of on-field control. But the game's AI quirks, challenging batting, and camera problems are indicative of a game that has been rushed to market.

    Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor is light on challenge and heavy on cartoon mayhem.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The Clone Wars offers an ambitious step up from previous games in the series, but a ton of small issues across the board lead to boredom and frustration.

    Mysteries of Westgate finally debuts for Neverwinter Nights 2, with decidedly mixed results.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    If you already know what Fatal Fury Special is and want to play more, come on in--but anyone else probably won't understand what makes this game worth playing.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Despite the inclusion of some great songs and routines, this bare-bones dancing game's flaky motion controls prevent it from being a thriller.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Desperate Housewives isn't much of a game, but it does a pretty good job of telling an original, interactive soap opera story in the quirky tone of the hit show.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Racing these speedy little cars can be fun, but Smash Cars is disappointingly light on content.
    • 65 Metascore

    Expansive levels and artsy graphics help make Ratatouille on the GBA an enjoyable romp, even if it is way too easy.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Good fun and the first game in some time to cater to Carmageddon's "chemically imbalanced" crowd. It's also the only game to take place in the world's largest particle accelerator, which puts it in a class all its own.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Smashing other robots and transforming into different vehicles is generally fun, but the game is short and the missions are often uninspiring.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Tough puzzles and grinding point-and-click pixel hunts are the main activities in Red Johnson's Chronicles.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Younger players will enjoy the variety and sandbox-style freedom of Bee Movie Game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    What developer Climax has produced here is a simple, accessible racing game with modest goals that it, for the most part, accomplishes.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A vastly simplified game, and while some of the changes are for the better, as a stand-alone game, it doesn't offer enough challenge or variety.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness/Time recycles the aging Mystery Dungeon formula, but it's still worthwhile for fans of dungeon hacks.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Trial-and-error frustrations diminish the impact of this add-on's great characters and dialogue.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This old fog needs to learn some new tricks.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    When X7 ventures into new territory and starts tinkering with the tried-and-true Mega Man formula, things start to go wrong.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Unless you're a dedicated fan of the sport, it's unlikely that the game's focus on car setups, strategies, and never-turn-right racing will appeal.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The Sims 3: Generations offers fun new features and objects to play with, but on the whole, it doesn't make much of an impression.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    An interesting time-shifting mechanic and fun-to-shoot weapons can't make up for the rest of TimeShift's run-of-the-mill first-person shooter gameplay.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A decent attempt at a 3D brawler on the Nintendo DS, but the gameplay quickly wears thin, leaving you with nothing more than a somewhat dated license.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The well-realized license in this third-person shooter can hide the myriad problems for only so long.
