When combined with the original game, Tribunal's features make an excellent role-playing game even better.

Technically a pretty solid add-on to last year's distinctive martial-arts-themed real-time strategy game.

It's advisable for both general enthusiasts and die-hard hockey fans to avoid this game for fear of losing interest in the sport.

Prettier, more exciting, and more involving than any other golf game on the market and can rightfully claim its place alone at the top of the PC golfing leaderboard.

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.

There's really no shortage of games that pull off the action sports formula with more style and enthusiasm, making Whirl Tour somewhat irrelevant.

The absence of a basic team-building mode, a few minigames, or at least some other method of drawing out the overall replay value is really the game's only significant shortcoming. Otherwise, it's an immensely fun product.

A good entry point for people interested in discovering the tactical espionage genre, but it doesn't offer anything over and above the older "Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear."

As a game, it's slightly above average--an interesting combination of puzzle-solving and action that's plagued with camera issues and poor difficulty tuning.

A fairly decent "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" clone, putting a different face on a familiar game.

G.I. Combat's biggest shortcoming is that it has very little gameplay. Instead, it has a heap of confusion.

Other than a few specific problems, O.R.B. is a well-made game. It lacks inspiration, but it's a good enough real-time strategy game for those who are tired of being confined to terra firma.

A fantastic platformer in every way and qualifies as one of the best games the genre has seen since consoles went polygonal.

While the game is sometimes hampered by its nostalgia, it successfully and entertainingly captures the feel of controlling a giant robot like no other game has in the past.

It's astonishing just how much Driver 2 Advance looks, feels, and plays like the PlayStation version of Driver 2.

The game could've benefited from a greater number of arenas, a more diverse variety of scoobees, and more gameplay modes.

The extras in Substance--while perhaps not as substantial as Metal Gear fans had hoped--help make the wait for this Xbox version justifiable, but in the end, it's the core game itself that's still very worthwhile.

As the spiritual successor to "Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge," Zapper delivers more challenging action puzzle gameplay in a colorful, upbeat setting.

A good, solid 2D shooter, even if it is over before you know it.

The updates really don’t do anything to improve the gameplay and in some cases actually detract from it.

As the spiritual successor to "Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge," Zapper delivers more challenging action puzzle gameplay in a colorful, upbeat setting.

Fans of the genre or of the original game would be better off renting this one first, as it doesn't really go too far out of its way to distinguish itself.

Make no mistake, the pace can still be inordinately fast unless you choose to slow it down, but this may well be the FIFA that hard-core fans have been waiting for.

Completely substandard in nearly every aspect.

Plays remarkably well. Featuring lots of interesting, inventive design decisions, plenty of fun-to-use units, and tons of variety, Age of Mythology is the last real-time strategy game you'll need for a long time.

It's relatively fun in small doses, but Project Nomads doesn't live up to the potential that its unusual design suggests.

Even serious strategy fans will find it to be a nice diversion... It's short and sweet--just not very deep.

It's a little rough around the edges, but it's both exciting and technically impressive enough to hold its own against its full-priced competition.
