    TMNT doesn't wear its nostalgic aspects particularly well, and the remaining components simply don't make for a very entertaining experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Perhaps with some additional gameplay modes, or less-archaic graphics and sound, World Race might stand out a bit more, but as it is, the game is only worth playing if you have a specific affinity for the Hot Wheels series.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The game's heavy emphasis on a disjointed and needless plot and some generally unimpressive production values are Frogger's Adventures main drawbacks, though they don't prevent the game from being enjoyable overall.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Though developer Victory Simulations has kick-started things somewhat by adding a flock of new planes and courses--and a none-too-challenging combat mode--Redline: Xtreme Racing 2 otherwise looks the same, feels the same, and sports the same annoying quirks as its precursor.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    For whatever progress that the series makes in this third installment, it's undone by lackluster gameplay and poor execution.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If you think the idea of a game about driving around in a machine-gun-toting car while completely ignoring traffic laws and blowing away anything in your path sounds like fun, then you'll get it out of RoadKill.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An all-around excellent game that confidently challenges, head-on, all the other WWII-themed shooters out there and comes out on top.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The presentation and setting aren't always quite up to par, but that's forgivable when the game's underlying action is so solid.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    If you can get around the weaker aspects of the game, Rogue Ops should be a reasonably entertaining experience for stealth fans looking for their next fix.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    A host of problems can be found in almost all facets of the game, so there simply aren't any good reasons to buy it, especially with better alternatives already available.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It's quite serious about being a simulation-style truck racing game, and in that capacity, it definitely succeeds. Plus, when you take into account its budget pricing, it just makes an already decent product that much better.

    Perhaps with some additional gameplay modes, or less-archaic graphics and sound, World Race might stand out a bit more, but as it is, the game is only worth playing if you have a specific affinity for the Hot Wheels series.

    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    At the heart of this game is an interesting and well-thought-out combat system, and there are so many viable combinations of characters and skills to experiment with that this game could easily keep you busy for much longer than most games do these days.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A decent first effort at simulating the chosen sport of wizards, it falls short of its promise primarily because of sluggish controls and shallow gameplay.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It won't pose much of a challenge due to deficiencies in the artificial intelligence, and there isn't too much replay value to be found in the game either.

    • 79 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Considering both its many quests and its trial-and-error gameplay, Gothic II is a substantially long game, and its different quests and different professions allow for some good replay value.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    An online RPG that manages to break the mold, if just barely--but, actually, that's no mean feat.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Has good qualities, but, ultimately, it tries much too hard to be something it isn't.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    This otherwise ordinary-to-a-fault action game is given a shot in the arm by its relatively cool gameplay techniques, which--at least--make the game's short ride interesting.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Even though Massive Assault is fairly easy to learn and is very user-friendly, it can be excessively difficult, sometimes putting an end to the fun as soon as it begins.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    While some of Makin' Magic's more-colorful additions seem a bit out of place, this final expansion pack adds plenty of new things for you and your sims to do.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    While EA has done an OK job of turning quidditch into a video game, the sport itself doesn't have enough depth to it to headline a stand-alone product.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    In addition to having incredible visuals, Top Gear Rally duplicates the slip-slide nature of rally racing fairly well. The game is easy to dive into, and there are plenty of tracks and adjustment options to keep you busy for a long time.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Between the character-switching with Farah and the unique ability to rewind time, there's enough new stuff here to keep you at least mildly entertained even if you've beaten all of the GBA Castlevanias and their ilk.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    There's nothing quite like it. Some aspects of the game could have used some more polish, but these shouldn't deter anyone looking for a deep, involved, great-looking, and memorable RPG from getting Gladius.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Quite simply, the most well-rounded, feature-rich game of tennis to be found anywhere, on any system.
