    Most importantly, Daikatana just isn't any fun. Anyone looking for a Nintendo 64 shooter should do themselves a favor and look elsewhere.

    Despite the lack of detailed graphics and absence of any need for a flight model, B-17 Gunner stutters worse than some detailed flight sims that tax the computer far more than this simple arcade game.

    A resounding failure. Unless you're a masochistic Fight Club fan looking to purposely have your sensibilities offended, then you'd be well advised to stay far away from this game.

    Feels like a rushed hack-job of a game, with just barely enough cohesive action to keep it from completely falling apart at the seams.

    McGrath vs. Pastrana stutters along like Gomer Pyle on amphetamines. The frame rates are so poor that the entire game has a jerky feel to it, and the overall package comes off as erratic.

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

    Game design at its worst. And considering its subject matter--the US military going abroad to battle terrorists--it's also an example of colossally bad timing.

    The Ant Bully on the Wii is basically the same uninteresting mess that came out for the GameCube six months earlier.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 37 Critic Score
    The game itself, largely due to control issues, is very, very bad.

    Tank Beat isn't much fun. There's very little to it, and what is there is bland, and simplistic. If there's one feat developer MileStone managed to pull off, it's how dull it managed to make the act of blowing up tanks. That might be a fascinating accomplishment, but it makes for an utter bore of a game.

    The game's poorly implemented design, clunky interface, Stone Age graphics, and horrible sound effects combine to form a product that is impossible to recommend to anyone.

    More refined controls would have made Super Rub a Dub less frustrating, but that wouldn't be enough to make it worthwhile.
    • 35 Metascore

    Feels like a rushed hack-job of a game, with just barely enough cohesive action to keep it from completely falling apart at the seams.

    It's an old-school shoot-'em-up that would have been right at home in a 1980s arcade. Unfortunately, it would have been the dusty game in the corner that no one played...Games like "Defender" and "Missile Command" offered more challenging and exciting gameplay along the same lines 20 years ago. Toss this one in the harbor.

    In many respects, Stake is the antithesis of "Super Smash Bros. Melee" and that game's best features.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    A lousy port of a console game of middling quality. The timing of its release is almost more of a liability than its technical aptitude, making Athens 2004 for the PC almost wholly irrelevant.

    One of the games included with Bubble Bobble Revolution is a genuine classic. The other is so plagued with glitches that it can't even be finished.

    Putting this game into your Nintendo DS could seriously jeopardize the special relationship that you enjoy with your favorite handheld.

    Flushed Away for the GBA is a dull, repetitive side-scroller that deserves to be flushed away.

    The biggest problem with Woody Woodpecker Racing is that it's just not fun.
    • 35 Metascore

    ATV Quad Fury's lackluster tempo and ugly user interface makes it one to avoid on the Nintendo DS.
    • 48 Metascore

    Much like Slider in the movie upon which this air combat game is based, Top Gun for the DS does, in fact, stink.

    The novelty of the Vietnam War setting is just about all that Whirlwind Over Vietnam has going for it.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    This simplistic brawler's condescending attitude and one-note gameplay make it worth dodging.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    Probably the least impressive game to arrive for the system to date.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    The Dreamcast version's graphical flaws manage to wreck anything the game has going for it, leaving behind an ugly, unplayable mess.

    The KGB wasn't as hard on political dissidents as Hammer & Sickle is on those who play it.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    This simplistic brawler's condescending attitude and one-note gameplay make it worth dodging.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    An ugly, boring game.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    A smidgen of intellect surrounded by garbage does not make for a good game.
