    This simple adventure game should be just right for younger players and anyone that wants an inoffensive game based on their favorite movie.

    Rather short. It only takes a couple of hours to finish the entire quest and a few more after that to collect all the film reels.

    Sonic Riders can occasionally be quite entertaining, but too many of those entertaining moments are overridden by bouts of frustration and weak mechanics.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    There's not much plot development, and more importantly, the gameplay has numerous shortcomings.

    While "The Simpsons" is often entertaining and enjoyable, The Simpsons Road Rage for the Xbox is not.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    For three decades pop culture has ingrained the voices of these central characters into our lives and to have them not sounding like expected is a disappointment.
    • 69 Metascore

    Even though it's being offered at a budget price, there just isn't any reason to play Worms 4: Mayhem if you've played either of the last two games in the series.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    While it probably won't appeal to anyone other than historical wargamers, these players will find Combat Command 2 a satisfying experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Though there are a few good scenes--such as the first time you see Pyramid Head--it becomes quickly apparent that there aren't many startling, truly scary moments to support the mood.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Delivers a more focused, more satisfying experience that seems less like an abstract interpretation of horse racing and more like the real thing.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The game's arcade elements aren't done well enough to ever balance with the simulation elements, and the end result is a game that's too wacky to be a sim game and too simulation-based to be an arcade game.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Blazing Angels is shot out of the sky by its shaky graphical performance and overly floaty control options.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    While it all could have worked out nicely and been a solid action game, the game's touchy and occasionally awkward control pushes the game past the "nice, firm challenge" stage and up into the "frustrating trial-and-error" difficulty level.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Rough around the edges, it's thematically incoherent, and it's a victim of feature creep, but along with fast-paced action, it has some interesting twists that give it a little depth.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Hardly a terrible game, but it has its share of issues and won't appeal to a large group of gamers.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Fails to measure up, primarily because of maddening technical issues that impair user control.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    It is most definitely King Kong in the palm of your hand, but the sacrifices and compromises made to get it there ultimately suck away much of its appeal.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Hardwood Spades is a Spades game for Spades fans, but even fans of the card game will probably be a little put off by the dull graphics and sound.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    A pretty standard hack-and-slash action game that doesn't deliver on much of the stumblingly bombastic charm of its title character.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Though we wanted to like Joan of Arc, we found it burdened by a number of rookie mistakes, including a bad camera, poor pathfinding, and lackluster artificial intelligence.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Road Rage suffers from a number of problems, not the least of which is bad collision detection. You'll often find yourself clipping a corner of a building or slamming into another car even though you have room to spare.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The game initially seems to offer everything you'd want out of an action-packed military-themed shooter. However, online multiplayer features are of little value when the action itself isn't good.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    It has all of the same ingredients that made the earlier releases so popular, but the excitement is gone, and what once felt new and energetic is now old and tired.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The controls are just a little too sluggish, making it feel as though you're driving a run-down school bus instead of a quick and nimble jet fighter or helicopter.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The graphics, audio, and overall gameplay still come across as decidedly old school, but this touch-centric platformer does at least manage to revive a classic in a way that some people should find interesting.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The game tries to deliver an authentic street racing experience, but the racing itself tends to be rather unexciting.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Tak 3 certainly has some adorable moments, but they're overshadowed by a frustrating design and sloppy gameplay mechanics.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Sadly, the AI is very predictable, so after you've gotten the hang of the game, you'll have no trouble winning almost every race.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Doesn't really do anything to differentiate itself from these older foot-racing games and doesn't bring anything new to the table.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Fans of the film will enjoy interacting with the lovable characters and playing through the movie-inspired sequences, but those diligent enough to go through and complete every objective will probably come away from the game feeling a little disappointed.
