A mediocre game. While I really, really enjoy collecting the fighter planes available in this game, I could always start a new Micro Machines collection.

The gameplay executed in Over the Hedge for the most part performs acceptably, but it's thin and repetitive.

Fails to rise above its predecessors. A perfect example of a Fans Only title, as most tacticians and strategy gamers would rather have a bit more meat in their titles.

I was hugely un-impressed. It just becomes very repetitive and boring after the first few hours, because you realize that it will never improve.

This is a very traditional realistic FPS, lacking in any serious innovation, relying on the same gameplay that's worked before. However, ultimately, I found it a bit boring.

One of those games that doesn’t set out to have any huge impact on game design or execution. It does however make sure that what it puts forth is solid and entertaining.

Some Rune fans might be a bit disappointed by the lack of single player modes in the expansion pack, but if you're just looking for more ways to kill your friends you won't be let down.

This game is at once addictive, and yet annoying to me.

Vietcong 2’s weak single player is balanced out by a fun, diverse multiplayer experience. It’s not Counter-Strike, but it has a gritty, small world feel to it that will appeal to the multiplayer fans out there.

Stunted gameplay and lackluster story, paired with some good excitement, and AI that can only be described as dumber than a doorknob doesn’t make for a good combination, but there’s been far worse in the history of First Person Shooters.

The plot is decent and falls in line with the complicated show, but the gameplay and in-game graphics easily slip below the acceptable line.

Hampered by an all around unoriginality combined with essentially horrendous gameplay. I was looking quite forward to this title, but ultimately, found myself disappointed.

Sure they pepper the play with lots of weapons and the ability to use vehicles, but I really couldn’t get past how badly the game was programmed.

While Delta Force: Black Hawk Down isn't a broken shooter or anything, there's just far too many better alternatives out there if you're looking for an action rush. Leave this one behind on the store shelf.

Sunny Garcia Surfing’s lack of gameplay and graphics make it a weak contender at best.

A decent game, better then the PSP version only because it does try to expand the gameplay by utilizing the DS’s touch pad.

It isn't a bad game per se, but I'm relatively certain that it's only going to mean something to Rave Master fans, otherwise I'd suggest you pass.

Entertaining throughout, but rarely exceptional.

Conflict Vietnam is both the best among the conflict games and one of the best among the Vietnam shooters today. That isn’t to say it’s a superb game, but it has its moments and can make for a pretty intense ride at times.

Shape up the way the game flows, its speed, and a better control/attack system, and this might be worth looking at.

The story is a lot easier to follow if you know the character's background and even gives a good reason to see how it ends.

It has a career mode that does give it some replay value. Other than that, its esoteric gameplay suggests one and only one thing -- if you either love to watch or play beach volleyball, give it a shot. If not, budget-priced notwithstanding, you may want to look elsewhere.

The graphics are dull and dingy and the audio isn't anything to write about. I suppose if you are a huge fan of stealth games, it might be acceptable but give it a rent first.

Exceeds the original arcade version by a mile and then some.

The puzzles are generally not going to get you completely stuck and the graphics and audio do a good job of creating the appropriate environment. Bottom line is if you enjoyed Myst, you might want to give Echo Night: Beyond a shot.

A good family game. Younger players will have an easy go at it.

The game's main drawback is its length. Though it's a fun ride, it's easily finished in a few hours, and it doesn't really follow its own storyline really well. Not to mention the incomplete nature of the game: instead of a payoff, it's obvious that there's a sequel in the works.

I can't help but feel that it's the same kind of rushed-out crap that gets tossed into the bargain bin at your favorite game store just weeks after its release.

Personally, I would have liked to see either stronger turn based elements or a better balance between that and the action elements.

I found myself wishing for the gameplay of Maxis’ "Sim Ant" using the graphics of Empire instead of the lackluster strategy found here.

Since I am not a wrestling fan at all I really couldn’t appreciate some of the finer points of this game including video interviews with some of the real wrestlers themselves or setting up the stats of a user-defined wrestler or the in-depth controls.

Ghost Recon’s biggest problem is an apparent lobotomy from the PC version.

Designing an environment that can keep up to 5,000 people happy at once is a formidable task, and I'm not sure that Origin has succeeded. At this point, Ultima Online rates a 73 for a great idea whose time has not yet come.

I think the game may end up being too easy for the older end of the Peter Pan watching group and too difficult for the younger end.

This is the Dynasty Warriors of mech games, and much like how that franchise is solidly enjoyable, so goes Armored Core.

This is a game for the die-hard off-roader. There is more to planning and buying vehicles and parts than there is to racing at times.

Motor Mayhem has some qualities that may appeal to those of us who can't resist a challenge against near-impossible odds. On the other hand, those same people may feel that the comical characters and poor sound effects detract from the intent of the game.

There's a nice sense of speed that carries the game through the sometimes bland environments.

Much more frustrating than fun.

With marginal graphics, audio and gameplay, you’ll quickly find yourself bored and looking for something else.

The best part of the game is definitely the atmospheric elements and the "straight out of the movie/series" aspect. The gameplay itself is ok, but is not groundbreaking by any means.

Uninteresting gameplay.

The first game had "not too bad" gameplay with a "not too bad plot", and in the end, was a passable title. With the gameplay problems in this one, I can't even give it that.

Getting comfortable with the cycle controls will take some time and I actually found it easier to go on foot whenever possible than mess around with the cycle mode.

A fairly middle-of-the-road game, offering Arthurian fans a chance to play through some pretty cool battles but doing little to attract more mainstream gamers.

The idea behind the freezing bad guys and turning them into stackable blocks is fairly cool (in a Lode Runner sort of way) but ultimately the game just doesn't hit even the lowest of marks.

Although the online features may give some reason to standout, the gameplay and graphics fall flat keeping it from once again putting any heat on its competitors.

I've never seen a game based on a popular film that was so good. Fighting, focus, guns, explosions, agents, oh my!

There is nothing this game does better than any of the other games. I say pass and wait until next year.

This is only a $20 game, so I’m perfectly happy seeing a game that’s got repetitive gameplay and slightly off visuals, especially when the game designers went out of their way to make Evil Dead fans happy. ‘Nuf said, play on.

This one just flat out stinks.

What originally was a high quality, entertaining game, has really lost its way and I can’t think of many people who would be happy spending $50 for it.

If, however, this is your first introduction to the Gundam series and a solid game is more your goal, you’ll find the gameplay frustrating and the average graphics and sound disappointing.

While the game falls short of being truly awesome, Wolverine fans will find plenty to like about Wolverine’s Revenge and should definitely check it out.

Although Backyard Football may work for a seven-year-old, few others would get much enjoyment from it. Lacking serious refinement in most areas, the “cute” style of gameplay wears off quickly and leaves few reasons to come back.

Ultimately this game is easy to recommend to FF7 fans who want one more visit with their favorite characters. But for shooter fans that don’t quite care so much for FF7, there are far better shooters out there.

Definitely falls flat on its face with simplistic, arcade style gameplay and a lack of decent execution. Most certainly a bargain bin title, I wouldn’t even rent this one if I had the chance.

There's a lot to play with here and the core of the game is strong, but if you're looking for a nice jumping off point into the Armored Core series, this is definitely not the game to start with.

It’s just that The Getaway: Black Monday is no better and no worse than the original, and for a sequel, that's a crippling issue.

When will Acclaim learn, and design a wrestling game more like "Def Jam Vendetta"? Imagine if you combined that imaginative play technique with good old fashioned wrestling?

The controls for instance are easy to use and the AI is good enough to keep the enemies from being sitting ducks but not impossible to destroy.

Dead-on perfect for enthusiasts. It includes the entire Ducati heritage and is accurately designed with the details in mind.

A virtually unplayable RPG.

A bit of a let down, promising a game filled with car transforming fun but delivering something more annoying than enjoyable to play.

All of the character and background sprites are composed in a low resolution, too, and when compared to the ultra sharp sprites of "Guilty Gear X2 #Reload," it really shows its age.

Anyone who is into WWII games, or who feels capable of leading troops into combat, should give this game a try...with all the improvements being made the score could easily jump to 87/100.

The only thing preventing me from scoring this graphics masterpiece in the 90’s was the somewhat weak storyline and the tedium that got me down on more then one occasion.

It’s a fantastic title, but for a very narrow audience. It’s not a game for everyone, as both the antiquated gameplay and the high difficulty curve can be definite turn-offs.

One of the most annoying games I’ve played in quite awhile. It’s not that it unequivocally reeks, it’s that it provides enough substance and possibilities to make you constantly realize that you should be having fun while you are playing it but aren’t.

It left a bad taste in my mouth.

A solid game with a slightly underachieving AI.

It feels incredibly rushed. From the recycled visuals to the middling audio, I couldn’t help but shake the feeling that Capcom Fighting Evolution was shoved out too soon.

A patch away from gaming excellence. Recommended for "Baldur’s Gate" and "Neverwinter Nights" fans, after a good patch, this title will have all the goods.

Most action/RPG enthusiasts will enjoy this title as a reminder of how much they enjoy this type of “dungeon crawl,” but will eventually shelve this title after a few hours.

Without any substance, story, or coherent sense of movement, Arctic Thunder does a remarkably good job of entertaining, packing every minute with a strange sense of mayhem and absurdity.

Though it does add a few colorful characters, a few different modes of gameplay and some novel damage concepts, Rave Master shows itself to be just barely more than yet another Street Fighter-style knock-off.

Graphically, World Tour Soccer 2006 meets the mark but the commentating is probably the worst I’ve heard in some time. Basically is repeats the same phrases over and over.

Incredibly simplistic gameplay.

The frustration of Spawn comes mostly when you are trying to move him around tight spots, or see what the heck is going on right in front of him when he is near a wall.

I had a lot of fun playing with my 3-year-old son, but became bored pretty quickly and he became frustrated every time he tried to go it alone.

Distractingly strange, with clunky controls, mixed up graphics and a story line that is just plain out confusing.

This is definitely one for the mystery and adventure gaming crowds, but may quickly become a novelty for gamers of other genres.

The graphics and audio do give a respectable performance that most will be satisfied with and RF Online does a great job setting up a game that has potential. The tedious nature of the gameplay however may leave the more casual fans of this genre out in the cold.

Simply put, the cities just seem dead. There are few things to interact with that make each city seem alive, and there are even fewer points of interest to keep your attention while you're driving around.

Visually and audibly pleasing, and professionally done, but for some reason, lacks replay value.

The biggest issue for me was the AI. I'm telling you it seems like the AI took one too many chairs to the head.

Postal rates a 64 for disappointing gameplay and general bad judgment in setting the game's focus on the shock value rather than on anything substantial or creative, and for wasting the obvious artistic talents of Postal's designers.

Well, it's not all that wild and/or wacky. In all actuality, it's kinda mundane and uninteresting.

Contains nothing noteworthy and just about every aspect of it reeks of a half-assed budget title -- which it is.

Dull and repetitive. Truly a boring title.

Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem just isn’t much fun. Blame it on its repetitive nature, the bad level design, the lame gameplay mechanics, the poor controls, or the collection mentality that composes a large part of the game – blame it on something because there’s no denying that Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem is a huge bore-fest.

This game should have been embarrassed to even rear its ugly head. Give it a pass and tell at least two friends to do the same, if you don't want them hating you come December.

In all my gaming years, I have never felt the frustration that I felt when playing this game. On more than one occasion, I had to physically get up and leave the room or risk throwing the controller through my television screen.

Features a system that dynamically adjusts the speed of other racers so that you’re never more than six seconds behind or so. This, more than anything else, kneecaps this game’s sense of fun, as it blows competitiveness out of the water.

Lack of character development, consistency, good voice acting, and any sort of entertainment makes Orphen an abysmal experience. It has decent graphics and is nice to look at, but it certainly isn't any fun to play.

The deep detail and high learning curve, combined with balky interface, will only appeal to the fan of pinpoint military accuracy who's willing to devote the time and patience to get control of it all.

Even though you can play poker, the game itself tries to be an all encompassing casino experience and that made me feel a little lacking. Still, there are an awful lot of games to play and the challenge of getting to those bigger casinos is a substantial one.

Scooby Doo: Mystery Mayhem might be enjoyable for a young audience who expects little as far as challenge. I would expect however that even they would lose interest quickly.
