    A budget-priced affair that in many ways looks prettier than anything prior to it but generally sticks to the basics and isn't immune to odd design choices and marginally flawed physics.

    • 65 Critic Score
    It nails the show's insanely enjoyable brand of humor, but can't quite pull out a gameplay design to match.

    This disappointing sequel saps away the unbridled fun that made the original so enthralling.

    There is no doubt that Ecco the Dolphin shows its age, but it's still one of the most unique games out there. Watching Ecco leap out of the water and navigate the murky depths is still a lot of fun. You'll probably want to pass on this rendition of Ecco's adventure if you've played it on other systems because the improvements don't enhance the gameplay experience all that much.

    Despite poor presentation, WRC offers a realistic and satisfying rally experience.

    Budget-priced and packed with options, this arcade shooter compilation is a decent game and a good value.

    Despite poor presentation, WRC offers a realistic and satisfying rally experience.

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is an exciting and action-packed way to experience Middle-earth, provided that you have the patience and fortitude to shoulder a few frustrating burdens.

    Tony Hawk's Proving Ground gets most of the Tony Hawk formula down, but the parts that stray from that formula are the parts that don't work out so well.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Frustrating platforming and a tepid narrative mar this journey into classic Kingdom Hearts realms.

    While it captures the grand feel of the Games, London 2012's dull campaign stops it from taking home the gold.
    • 56 Metascore

    TMNT doesn't wear its nostalgic aspects particularly well, and the remaining components simply don't make for a very entertaining experience.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Isn't exactly a fresh take on fighting games, though it looks good and controls well enough.
    • 66 Metascore

    An emphasis on its dull single-player campaign, rather than the more entertaining party play mode, fails to make the most of the competitive spirit of the Olympics. There's some fun to be had with friends, but even then the uneven quality of its minigames means that as soon as the Olympics are over, London 2012 will lose its allure.

    This year's Pro Evo improves upon its predecessor in some key areas, but it does little else to keep up with the competition.
    • 63 Metascore

    Poor level design poisons Jericho's awesome but unrealized potential.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a fun throwback to a simpler era, but visibility issues and a lack of online co-op get in the way of your enjoyment.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A fiendishly difficult, randomly generated dungeon crawler that at times can be an incredible work of interactive fiction, and at other times, a muddled mess.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The disconnect between the gameplay and the narrative elements of Spec Ops: The Line is numbing, which makes it more difficult to contemplate the murky morality of war in the way the game wants you to.

    Alternately tranquil and tedious, Akimi Village is as simple as city builders get.

    Instead of wrestling with rival nations, you'll tussle with unruly advisors in this naval trading sim.
    • 61 Metascore

    What's especially unfortunate is that you'll find sprinklings of a great game concept all throughout Death Jr.'s relatively short storyline. It just never successfully delivers.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 features a couple of new game modes, but things are still largely unchanged in Konami's football franchise.

    MS Saga looks and feels dated, but it makes good use of the license and manages to deliver a decent--if unremarkable--role-playing experience.

    The seminal rhythm game makes its PSP debut with a chunk of new content, but the gameplay hasn't quite withstood the test of time.

    In the enjoyable but bare-bones Leviathan: Warships, you customize a fleet of ships and pit it against your friends' fleets on the high seas.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    For the game's target age group, the combination of a humorous plot, unlimited continues, and solidly average gameplay makes for a great, non-gory initiation into the 3D combat genre.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The game is fun when you sit down with it, but two hours later you'll have seen everything there is to see.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The sound effects -- while a little drab -- get the job done, but the buzzer that signifies a new wrestler entering the ring in the royal rumble mode will drive you absolutely insane with its frequency.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Draglade's rhythm-based combat isn't as robust as it could be, but the story mode and competitive online play are still fun.
