    This game is just flat-out bad in most every way you can think of, and for a franchise with such promise and potential, that's a truly disheartening thing.

    7554 is a modern curiosity that plays like a shabby relic.

    This hack-and-slash game is so dumbed down that it's practically an insult to anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone the crowd that's been conquering Europe in Paradox's previous releases.

    The environments are no fun to get through, fights are infrequent, and the simplistic combat is unfulfilling.

    Final Fight: Streetwise doesn't look good, doesn't play well, and it can't even get its unlockable bonus--the original arcade game--right.
    • 47 Metascore

    The frustrating gameplay will turn even the most eager gamer's experience sour after a few levels.

    Major League Baseball 2K7 for the Game Boy Advance is light on features, but it's the sloppy fielding that ultimately ruins it.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    A boring, repetitive exercise in countering your opponent.

    In essence, Ping Pals is "PictoChat" with a lousy personality, and there's absolutely no reason why you should waste your time with it.

    If Indy had encountered nonsense like this during one of his escapades, he'd have let the Nazis win. Secrets of Atlantis is best left in a watery grave.

    The game is flawed on so many levels that only the most dedicated survival-horror fan might get some enjoyment out of it.

    Without a doubt, the worst basketball game released this year, college or pro. It offers a subpar effort--across the board--in graphics, sound, gameplay, and extras (like the simplistic dynasty mode, for example).
    • 35 Metascore

    You would think that a real-time strategy game would be a great fit for the Nintendo DS, but stay away from this one, with its busted artificial intelligence and half-baked minigames.

    Across every category, Alien Blast defines itself as the very epitome of boredom. The action is dull, repetitive, and in some cases, a bit broken. The game's graphics are pretty much a sad, underdeveloped joke.

    The lack of any strategy to the gameplay, a generally poor design, and an endless number of stability problems turn Monster Garage into a real monster, all right.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Unless you're looking for some laughs or a trip down memory lane, stay far, far away from this one.

    The game utterly fails to capture the majesty and mystery of the Dune universe, turning it into an interactive Saturday morning cartoon--and a bad one at that. Toss this one to the worms.

    Barely playable. The benefits of GoDai's smart control scheme and the inherent coolness of the protagonist's formidable powers are mercilessly buried by shoddy collision detection, maddeningly poor frame rates, and a primitive animation system.

    Final Fight: Streetwise doesn't look good, doesn't play well, and it can't even get its unlockable bonus--the original arcade game--right.

    The key differences between something like "Wipeout" and Pulse Racer is that "Wipeout" has a compelling, cohesive look, a great soundtrack, an interesting track design, and fun, responsive controls, while Pulse Racer bears none of these traits.

    These are 10 awful remakes of old Sega games that will only serve to infuriate their intended audience.
    • 26 Metascore

    A game so utterly devoid of challenge that actually calling it a game almost seems too generous. There's just nothing here beyond a monotonous, pedestrian affair, and it can be completed in a couple of hours with only the slightest of efforts.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    A train wreck of a game that has no direction, no technical merit, and little appeal except as a game design house of horrors and a showcase for some good music by Stewart Copeland.

    As if to draw further attention to its languorous gameplay, Tweety & The Magic Gems does absolutely nothing to impress with its presentation.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Completely substandard in nearly every aspect.

    Despite the presence of a few familiar Disney cartoon characters, the game is so devoid of quality that no one could possibly enjoy it.

    Its one redeeming feature is that five percent of the game's proceeds will be donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. But you may as well cut out the middleman and just give all $20 to charity.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    This cel-shaded third-person shooter is completely substandard in nearly every aspect and therefore is impossible to recommend, even to the young audience that the game is targeted toward.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Sometimes the game can lock your system up entirely. It's really a shame that Rebels: Prison Escape is so buggy. When it's working, it isn't half bad, but you should never have to say "when it's working" about a game you've paid good money for.
    • 38 Metascore

    Whether you're a fan of the cartoon or a fan of fighting games, Legend of the Dragon is a total disappointment.
