    Simple and forgettable.

    It's hard to recommend Death Crimson OX to anyone but the truly desperate light-gun fanatic.

    The only thing Breed has going for it is its wide variety of vehicles. But in a game with so many serious problems, it's hard to enjoy them for long.

    It is by no means authoritative, and it certainly won't convince newbies that the sport makes a worthy computer game.

    Unlike EA's game, Street Hoops is shallow and incredibly dull.

    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.

    It's an idea that has been tried before and done better.
    • 37 Metascore

    It's an unusual idea, and certainly an interesting one, but as you play, you'll find that Combat Medic probably wasn't the best idea for a game.

    Sydney 2000 can't even compete against the equivalent Commodore 64 game that's well over a decade old.

    It hasn't done anything to add to the game's fun factor or overall length. As such, most players will have their fill of Operation Armored Liberty in an hour or two.

    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.
    • 44 Metascore

    This is one of the worst turn-based tactical games in quite a while, thanks to bad gameplay, horrendous storytelling, lackluster graphics, and more.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    The few improvements it includes do little to address the flaws of the original game, and since the new game is just more of the same endless waves of enemies, it can't really be recommended even to those who might have enjoyed Beach Head 2000 in some way.

    The collision problems outlined above, however, are what ultimately transform this average attempt at nostalgia into a frustration for all but the most devout He-Man admirer.

    You might have trouble appreciating Shadowflare's gameplay nuances, because the game's sound isn't too great and its visuals are absolutely primitive.
    • 45 Metascore

    Rooted in archaic gameplay sensibilities and devoid of engaging characters or plot, Crime Stories won't even appeal to the most vehement of adventure game fans.

    Regardless of the poor graphics and problematic controls, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee for the Game Boy Advance could have been a great game for fans of the series if it had anywhere near the same amount of charm or cleverness as the console Oddworld games.

    Many of the interesting concepts in T:A llose their appeal shortly after the umpteenth quest to help some tortured soul in town.

    Uneven presentation and its incongruence with the spirit of the movie make it just another bad licensed-property video game.

    With its surprisingly awful fighting mechanics, busted-up frame rate, and bare-bones gameplay, Iron Phoenix is just a colossal waste of time.

    If you've discovered a fishing game that you enjoy, then there's really no reason to try this one, since you'll have undoubtedly seen it all before, and seen it done better elsewhere.

    The game can be fun at first, but that fun quickly dissipates as the same basic formula is reapplied again and again, and you'll soon realize that if you've played the first level, you may as well have played the whole game.

    Last spring's "Wacky Worlds" expansion was lambasted by critics and fans for offering just a few new themes and scenarios, and the latest add-on is equally uninspired. Time Twister is modeled on the same formula as its predecessor and is just as disappointing.

    Despite the title, there's nothing bold about this boring, vanilla racing game.

    Between all the tedious downloads, sorry gameplay, and weak audio and visuals, KumaWar simply can't compete.

    FIFA 07 on the Game Boy Advance offers little in the way of enjoyment or value.

    Ultimately, RLH is a game that simply wasn't good when it was first released, and even with slightly better graphics, a new level, and Xbox Live content, it still isn't a good game.

    Playing the game can be a numbing experience. Antiquated graphics, horrible voice-overs, clumsy storytelling, boring characters, derivative settings, pixel hunts, simplistic puzzles, and severe bugs have a way of doing that. If Legacy can do something wrong, it does.
