    The game looks great, plays well, has a solid soundtrack, is user-friendly, and is enjoyable. What more could you ask for?

    The game is really fun to play since you have the ability to change between two main characters. Another thing that really helps breakup the repetition is when you are flying up in space to purify the vampires.

    Battlefront II is another serving of a meal we’ve already had. It tastes a little better and looks a little fresher. I have no regrets playing through it and urge every Star Wars fan to check it out. Just beware that what you’re getting is not innovation – it’s just more fun.

    A little typical in terms of graphics and sound, but what this game does bring to the fore is depth of gameplay. It is immersive, and challenging.
    • 73 Metascore

    The game has a wisp of a manual, but the interface is quite intuitive and takes little time to get a handle on.

    I really like the diverse gameplay between Venom and Spider-Man. This makes the game a whole lot more interesting because they each have their own style of play, which helps break up any repetition that might form.

    A young children's game for the GBA that is actually worth the money, which is not that common.

    There are a couple of weak spots here and there but this is still the game to turn to when you want your baseball really fun and really off the wall.

    While it is fun in single player it doesn’t even hold a candle to when you are playing multiplayer. The game can (and it does) get repetitive during some of the dungeons.

    It’s a tough road ahead, but it’s one you won’t be able to resist, with many rewards and much satisfaction to be had.
    • 77 Metascore

    The framerate is smooth, the controls are mostly standard for the genre and the game does not require you to think too much – but you had better react quickly.

    Hats off to the dev team for bringing the genre back to life in a visually appealing way that is a lot of fun to play.

    With great graphics, top-notch sound and amusing gameplay, this is baseball at its most wacky and enjoyable.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Not the most visually stunning turn-based combat game on the market, on any platform. But the lure of this game is much more insidious. The game has depth of play that few can equal. This is more about entreating the brain as opposed to the eyes or ears.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The only problem with this game is that it could have been so much better. The game's land battles tend to get repetitive but thanks to the wide variety of missions and options, this game will be playing in your PC for a very long time.

    Dokapon Kingdom is a cute, hilarious, addicting game with a multiplayer experience that can't be matched. It's not going to appeal to every gamer, but I can honestly rank my time with it among the most fun I've ever had with my Wii.

    At $30, this is a very nice expansion for Flight Sim X, bringing not just some new aircraft but solid multiplayer elements to the fore. Fans of the Flight Sim franchise should enjoy this.

    I really did like how you only have to manage time in this game as it gives you a greater sense of urgency on the things that have to be done.

    The new Gamebreaker moves are out of this world. For the die-hard, obsess-bordering fans like myself, that’s all the series needs (at this point). I’m hooked.

    The instruction manual is lacking and the controls can be a little confusing. But with all of the different gameplay elements, Age of Wonders is an excellent addition to anyone’s library.

    An excellent (albeit marginally updated) sequel that is sure to please Tekken fans all over the world. Buy it for the thrills and the massive character lineup.

    Strong narrative and open-ended design are the highlights of this fantasy experience. Divinity II: Ego Draconis will likely be overlooked by many due to the timing of its release, but it offers a genuinely engrossing world for RPG buffs to wallow in.

    Madden NFL 07 for the Nintendo Wii is a great game. Even though this game has its fair share of glitches and the graphics engine is not updated, it still remains a blast to play. The inclusion of all of the multiplayer modes is a great treat and will make this a game not to leave your Nintendo Wii for some time.

    Get used to the controls and don't even think about quitting until you've reached the third or fourth level. By that time, you won't want to quit playing, and will be glad you took my advice.

    It's a solid MMO that will serve as a good diversion from WoW, but only time will tell if it has the depth of content necessary to keep people around.
    • 75 Metascore

    While dated graphics and an overall air of familiarity may turn off some, the sheer amount of fun activities coupled with the budget price make for a heartily recommended adventure.

    There's an unfortunate lack of improvement in the gameplay here, but it seems that the gameplay of the first was so good that it could be simplified and still be very enjoyable.

    This is, bar none, the best consumer available flight simulation to date. Notice the word “simulation.” Flight Simulator has game-like elements, missions, online play, etc., but at the end of the day it’s a hardcore simulator that the average “gamer” probably won’t enjoy.
    • 72 Metascore

    There is so much content in the game. It is well worth the money. There are few things Galactrix could improve on, but don’t be fooled, it is a very solid game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The game can be frustrating, especially when you have a higher-rated team get owned by a lower-rated one that seemingly can’t miss a shot and takes advantage of obvious lack of player movement on defense for easy buckets. But much of this part of the learning curve.

    A great title with plenty of action to keep you busy and enough eye candy to melt your corneas for a while.

    If you enjoy third person action titles or RTS games, and enjoy some really good battles in between building and resource gathering all wrapped around a good vs. evil story which is interesting and contains some decent plot twists, you will definitely want to check out Spellforce.

    This game has some great moments as well as some that are not so great. It is still, though, a first-rate soccer game that dazzles at times. The new features really give the game a boost, but there is still work to do. This is a great game and fun to play with others.

    This is “vintage” Tomb Raider, given a facelift, and sparkling as a result. It is fun to play, and fun to watch.

    It is quite difficult though, so if you like your racing easy, you'd best look elsewhere - or better yet, find a cheat code.

    PotBS offers different fare from the usual assortment of MMOs in release, and that is a good thing. The game, though, is not one that can be truly appreciated inside a week. It takes time to delve into the nuances of the game mechanics and to explore the depth of what is offered.

    Presentation-wise, I think you’ll find a good amount to like here. The sound effects are spot-on, including the way the ball-to-paddle tone will vastly diverge for dramatic effect during a high-count rally. The visuals are a tad on the shiny and plastic look, but nevertheless they’re very well done, with superb lighting, texturing, and animations. Not much to complain about here.

    Besides being way too short for comfort, the gameplay features suspense at every turn. I also liked the simplicity of the game such as the exclusion of a cross-hair and health bar.
