Something of an introduction to the world of game making. In other words, it presents some of the fun as well as most of the painstaking and sometimes tedious work that is involved.

If you're a Medal of Honor multiplayer junkie looking for a new fix, you'll get considerably more mileage out of it, especially the Tug Of War mode.

It is a decent effort to bring the RTS setting to the battlefields of Europe during World War II, yet it doesn't compare to such similar themed titles as "Combat Mission" or "Close Combat."

Accurately modeling the features that have made this series so endearing and capturing the action from a surprisingly workable viewpoint, it's a tremendous traveling companion for anyone with a taste for adventure.

Probably the best pure soccer game yet -- the best since the series moved into 3D.

The truly frightening part is it's a bit shy of must-have status due to pressing issues with artificial intelligence, item collection, and game balancing.

Underneath the technical problems is an innovative, creepy, and intense experience.

Compounding the problem is the AI's penchant for playing "bumper cars" if the player manages to pull away from the pack. The computer racers just love to crash into you as a means of slowing you down.

The generic nature of the challenges, graphics and controls forces me to propose that gamers try something else.

Where Disney Sports Soccer strays from convention -- and becomes a lot more interesting in the process -- is with the addition of magic items.

The game isn't deep enough to offer anything else more complex than a block-and-return-punch style of combat.

It seems like the game is not just merely unpolished or unfinished, but almost completely absent.

It's fun. Not mind-blowing, but fun.

It's the online component of the game that places you down in front of your TV, and refuses to let you leave for days at a time.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to drive a balsa wood car full of helium, here's your chance. Slight bumps will send you airborne.

The biggest difference between 2K3 and its competition, though, is the game's physics. Players move like they're actually on ice.

A decent tribute to its source material, but fails to capture its best qualities.

Doesn't change much of the [original's] formula, or the graphics, or anything really, but it does offer online play, some different courses, and some fun multiplayer party games.

There's not much new in MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, but what's here works reasonably well.

The production values for Frontline are way up there though, and with great voice acting, cool FMV cut scenes, and more atmosphere than most other FPS titles, the game is a winner for WWII action fans and newbies alike.

By far the most straightforward and enjoyable version of the series.

The physics provide a near-perfect blend of arcade and simulation sensibilities: It's not so over-the-top that it's still believable, but it's also not so realistic that you'll need an intimate level of knowledge about tires, engines, and gear boxes.

Best suited for high-level characters that like to use every power at their disposal -- and that's where the expansion shines.

There are far too many gameplay, graphics, and presentation problems. I would say that the game is minor league, but that would be an insult to the guys in the AHL.

Arguably the best golf simulation on the market.

An entirely average platform romp skewed for a dumbed-down audience that doesn't live up to expectations.

For the hardcore this game won't be much of a "whirl," but younger gamers might find it amusing -- at least for a while.
