The inclusion of the well-done championship and multiplayer modes make it a must-own for fans of arcade racing.

Problematic gameplay and run-of-the-mill presentation.

Features exceptional graphics and great handling.

The interface and poor control are bigger enemies than the game's Iraqi soldiers ever are, and in the end, this is a game you can surely live without.

An action game with appealing and simple gameplay but with flat characters and no connective tissue.

There are only a few improvements to help distinguish it from NHL 2002, but these changes further increase the realism of what is considered the best hockey simulation on the market.

It does pretty much everything a yearly sports update needs to do to be a success: It improves on features that previously were lacking, and it brings some new additions into the mix as well.

Surprisingly, you'll find that the graphics hold up remarkably well, and the control, though at times frustrating, is as unforgiving and challenging as in the original.

Adds a good deal of new content to play through: six massive single-player campaign games and a whopping 30 additional scenarios. But not much else.

A game that--despite its lengthy development cycle--still feels rushed and incomplete.

A classic example of how to make a real-time strategy game and then completely undermine it with a bad user interface.

It's competent without being very imaginative or thrilling, and as such it's the type of thoroughly generic action game that's best played in small doses, if at all.

Its substantial single-player campaign and new multiplayer maps and modes (when you can get into a game) are definitely worth it.

Needs work, especially with its control system, which is absolutely put to shame by EA's freestyle control scheme for "NBA Live 2003."

Just an average action game...The game is also quite short--it will only take you a little under four hours, if even that, to complete the game.

Considering its new campaign options, more-satisfying single-player missions, and tweaked gameplay, it's a safe bet that fans of the original game will have even more fun storming the castle.

The game suffers from a number of problems that even the most ardent fans of the series will have a hard time overlooking, not the least of which are repetitive missions, sluggish controls, and empty levels.

There are so many shortcuts that the handheld version of Smuggler's Run doesn't even come close to evoking the same kind of excitement as the original PS2 game.

While certainly fun, it's so short you should probably just rent it.

The game suffers from a number of problems that even the most ardent fans of the series will have a hard time overlooking, not the least of which are repetitive missions, sluggish controls, and empty levels.

A shoddy port of an otherwise average game.

Has absolutely no significance for anyone but hard-core Bust-A-Move completists.

You can play through the game twice with little time investment, and as long as you take copious notes of what works, you'll be able to solve the game eventually.

Anyone looking for an exciting mascot racing game won't find too much to like here once the thrill of four-player multiplayer has worn off.

The game's relative ease combined with a very short length prevents Sly Cooper from becoming the next big platformer. But it's great while it lasts.

The entire game is so unpolished and full of bugs that it's unfathomable how it ever passed quality assurance in the first place.

The game's truly inspired visuals are matched only by its consistently fun gameplay.

It looks better, it sounds better, it plays better, and it's ultimately more enjoyable than the original.
