There's so much variety and personality, however, that the odds are good that you'll find your money's worth in some aspect or another.

While more accomplished gamers may find some of the minigames too simplistic, this accessibility ensures that Mario's party is one that just about anyone can enjoy.

The overall product is so underdeveloped and the quest is so short that most casual players will feel shortchanged.

Seriously stripped down compared with its console cousins, and it doesn't have enough PC-specific features to make up for what boils down to a sparse and unentertaining racing experience.

Though it's disappointing that the developer chose to spin its wheels rather than improve upon its past efforts, Disney golf still stands up as a worthwhile arcade-inspired golf game.

It's not going to replace or even come close to your fighting game of choice.

Clearly one of the most flawed games of 2002. So flawed, in fact, that a 30MB patch has already been released, and another is on the way.

You'll probably have a hard time believing that you waited so long for what the sequel has to offer: the same old graphics, the same old rides, and the same old objectives.

Because of its great looks, gameplay twists, and good cast of characters, Wild Arms 3 should appeal to most anyone who likes games of this type.

A decent adaptation of the arcade series, and offers a sometimes enjoyable but extremely brief experience.

The slow start can make BloodRayne a tough game to stick with.

A must for all those who liked the original, as they'll find in Red Faction II a similar yet much more intense experience.

Merely an average adventure game with a high-profile license attached.

Fairly long, but it's also fairly repetitive.

The game itself is decent, offering up a variety of different moves and letting players dish out long and damaging attack combinations--but it's not going to replace or even come close to your fighting game of choice.

The single-player mode is plain and simple, and the multiplayer mode, once you get over the novelty of shooting people over the Internet, really lacks depth.

A respectable platformer that is held back somewhat by some annoying technical issues.

A good third-person action game that's pretty straightforward but has a few nice twists.

Even the most ardent X-Men fans should probably just rent Next Dimension rather than buy it.

May very well be the best split-screen multiplayer-focused first-person shooter ever created.

With its outdated roster, overly complicated wrestling system, sluggish controls, decided lack of different match types, and various visual oddities, WWE Raw unfortunately does little to fill the wrestling void in PC gaming.

For most players, THQ's Virtua Tennis is simply a better option. It has more variety in the way of techniques and options, and you don't have to wait 20 minutes or so to save your game.

The overall solid game design barely avoids being overshadowed by unexceptional production values.

It's hard to imagine that anyone would deliberately release the game as it is--in fact, it's easier to imagine that the game somehow escaped from Fun Labs on its own and clawed its way onto store shelves.

Its somewhat sluggish controls, repetitive missions, and the near total absence of a sense of speed keep the game from mimicking the show's exciting combat sequences.

Awful gameplay.

Ty's difficulty is tuned for younger or casual gamers, but it also attempts to appeal to older players, who should still be able to appreciate the quality of the game even if it's a little on the easy side.

This package contains the major hits that most fans are after.
