    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition makes shooting giant bugs every bit as fun as it should be, and even though it ends too quickly, you'll have a blast while it lasts.

    Deep Fighter's mysterious story, level bosses, and diverse missions make it a game all its own.

    An unusual fighting game that does a great job of balancing the classic Mortal Kombat style with enough new additions to draw in people who aren't completely familiar with the rest of the series.

    This is one of those games that could literally last you a couple of hundred hours if you let it, and if that sounds exciting rather than just plain scary, then by all means give the game a shot.

    In most respects, the game doesn’t differ much from the first title in the series; but the novelty of teaming up the good guys and bad guys to go after the really bad guys is enough to make this game enjoyable in its own right.

    Players who're new to the Monkey Island series may get the sense while playing the game that they're watching a bunch of old friends regale each other with old in-jokes; it's easy to feel as if you're being left out of the fun if you don't catch the references.

    Visually, however, this is completely new, with crisp 3D graphics to modernize the experience and some new anime vignettes to help tell the story. Toss in some cool bonus content and the same great gameplay as the original, and you've got a remake well worth playing.

    The host of graphical and gameplay improvements featured in the 2002 edition make this year's Tiger Woods far superior to previous entries in the series...the best golf simulation currently on the console market.

    Not only does Soaked! include all the latest updates to clean up the gameplay, but it also tosses in a ton of new content that's beautiful to behold.

    2006 FIFA World Cup does a good job of re-creating the carnival atmosphere that surrounds the competition, and it plays a good, fast-paced game of soccer to boot.

    Less a racing game than it is a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with cars instead of skateboards...[It's] also notable for its generally impressive visuals, breadth of gameplay options, and sheer number of tracks and circuits.

    Anyone looking for a wilder ride than the one offered by "Tekken 4"'s or "Virtua Fighter 4"'s comparatively straightforward martial arts battles should definitely check [it] out.

    You'll actually feel a loss if (and when) your star monster passes on. You might start to relate better to your monster than to actual people.

    Despite its annoying technical issues, Soldiers of Anarchy is a lot of fun.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Due to the presence of some stability and performance issues, as well as a few noticeably lacking features, SimCity 4 doesn't seem as polished as it could have been.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The single-player campaign is dense, exciting, and only three-and-a-half hours long.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The game offers numerous options, it has a ton of cars and all of the tracks from the rally circuit, and it looks good for a handheld game.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    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.

    An incredibly appealing sports game.
    • 83 Metascore

    It's not wildly original or innovative, it's just fun.
    • 82 Metascore

    In most respects, the game doesn't differ much from the first title in the series; but the novelty of teaming up the good guys and bad guys to go after the really bad guys is enough to make this game enjoyable in its own right.

    The characters look just like their onscreen counterparts.

    The inclusion of a battery save feature makes this game infinitely more enjoyable, however, and the twofold increase in car selection isn't too shabby either.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A nonstop action ride that starts out on a high point and manages to remain there for the entire game. Gameplay elements that can be tedious, like jumping puzzles, are limited, while the use of Force powers is accentuated.

    Ultimately, Earth 2150 delivers complex and challenging gameplay - and even an absorbing story.

    If you're into off-roading, you may never have to buy another video game.
    • 79 Metascore

    Kind of like having to eat a banana split with your hands--just because it's a little sloppy doesn't mean it isn't still good...One of the deepest and most satisfying multiplayer tactical shooters currently available.

    It's hard not to look at the current generation version of Madden as an aging veteran on its last legs, but that veteran still has a bit of game left in it.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Dark Cloud successfully blends adventure, RPG, simulation, and strategy elements into one incredibly addictive game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Consistently avoids any overt lewdness you might expect and rises above it by delivering an all-around excellent game with impressive visuals and tight, intuitive gameplay.
