The gameplay is very basic – anyone who wants to learn how to play it will learn how to play it whether they've played a lot of games before or not. Expect the average non-gamer to get at least a few months out of this one.

Very linear, which may cut down on replayability. The look, feel and general style of the game makes for an entertaining game experience that will leave you smiling.

A great game for kids, and a definite good choice for Christmas for families, especially if they're fans of the Lemony Snicket books.

An adequately designed racing game that delivers on the technical front, but one that just isn't very deep or exciting.

Not nearly as rewarding as the story that inspired it. Lemony Snicket gives you more than a collection of mini-games. It's too bad these non-mini-games involve miniature tasks like taking out weak enemies and fighting weak boss battles.

The thrill is minute with more experienced players, but might keep young gamers enthralled much longer.

A surprising amount of detail from a game that shouldn't be so visually distracting.

By far one of the most unusual and surprisingly satisfying wrestling games and those fighting fans that don't mind a little tease will highly enjoy this one.

This game looks absolutely gorgeous; it is one of the best looking games out for the Playstation 2. The controls are very responsive and it plays like a dream.

I don't know about you, but my idea of a good time does not involve the viewing of a man or woman going to the bathroom. All nude parts are purposely blurred, but even so, it was completely unnecessary.

Does everything that the first one did except bigger and better!

Don’t bring high expectations into this game and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Even though Antigrav is a simple and quick play, the innovation and unlockables easily add replay value. It’s just plain fun.

With simple controller schemes, this game is very accessible.

A must have if you absolutely love the original. The casual player however, may not find this to be one to add to their game library, but is definitely worth the price.

With a wonderful assortment of tunes, characters, settings and the ability to use two separate headsets or microphones for duets, you will certainly find plenty to enjoy here.

A good start. The AI needs to be tweaked, and the controls fine-tuned. The game also needs to work away from one-time shots off the pass having a higher chance of scoring than breakaways.

The graphics in Space Interceptor are what make this game worth looking at as they are really great looking! If you have a powerful enough PC you will be surprised to see how great this game looks for being just a budget title.

Graphically this game looks very good, and it does play reasonably well. But the game has very little in the way of options and even at the beginning stages of racing it is hard to accrue points simply because your machine is not that good.

I get Goosebumps when I discuss this game, honestly. The genuine care that has been taken in making this game is awe inspiring.

Tries to be different and succeeds, but its repetitiveness keeps the fun from being both fresh and stimulating.

A solid adventure game with some very nice improvements over its predecessor. However, the low difficulty level may turn off gamers looking for a challenge.

Perfect for younger gamers. Kids will love the cheerful colors, and all the cutesy characters like butterflies, sheep and fairies. Even the baddies look cute.

EQ II is immersive, and certainly challenging as well as entertaining. For a strictly PvE game, EQ II is a tasty entry in the MMO genre.

The game has a complex plot and a decent idea with the hacking ID element, but for the most part this is a typical shooter. Stylish graphics are not enough to overcome that.

Most fans of city-building simulations will be well-pleased. The interface could use some improvements, and for my part, I would like to see more focus on planning well-laid out cities, but this game is enjoyable to play and will please most.

The gameplay is great! Few controls to memorize and the game flows nicely while you are playing. The only down side is the load time between sequences and battles. [Director's Edition]

The bright, solid graphics pushed me to keep playing just to see new locations and by then I was immersed in the game's conspiracy. You couldn't do much better amidst this season's adventure PC games.

I found it to be rewarding and full of replay interest. I was often frustrated to point of walking away from movement "errors," but I soon returned to the glowing world to try again.

There's no added features save for Xbox Live support, but the game proves itself to still remain addictive, challenging, and enjoyable even after all these years.

While the ingenuity level is a bit low, the way everything comes together is great. There are so many fun weapons to use, the control is tight, levels are fun to tromp through, and everything else doesn't hurt.

Ultimately, this is a very solid package, with massive potential for future iterations of not only Superstars, but also for the actual franchises from where these Superstars came.

If the game wasn’t over so quickly then who knows what other crazy ideas could have been included as well.

The game features a tutorial if you so desire, and they make it a nice learning curve as you work your way up the casinos. Nice friendly interface that takes minutes to master.

The solid controls, good graphics, and solid gameplay make up a respectable game that PS2 owners should try out. But the repetitive sound effects, slow frame rate and occasionally texture problems with the game engine will have some gamers looking for something else.

While the game is a little bit on the simple side with its RPG elements, The Third Age offers up a compelling blend of great gameplay, fantastic graphics and sound, and a faithful representation of the Lord of the Rings universe.

A fun adventure game that offers fans of inventory collection based puzzles lots of things to do. The interface is easy to navigate, and the game's localities are full of things to examine.

A solid racing title with great environments, ATV Offroad Fury 3 features options galore and challenge.

The only real problem I had when playing the game was getting units to break off an engagement.

Anyone who likes music games can get into the gameplay, but the music itself is not easy to absorb. As a player I want to get into the game. I want my friends to walk by and laugh when they see me bopping to the game's killer sounds. Technic Beat's eccentric soundtrack prevents that from happening.

It has smooth animation, great graphics, and wonderful gameplay.

While this definitely expands the world of UO in terms of new territories, it still offers much the same in gameplay aspects.

This is the best game yet in the Smackdown series, and the best WWE game on any system. It has its share of problems, but when taken as a whole, this game is almost impossible not to enjoy.

However this collection also gives you an insight into some of the Sonic games that some players wished would disappear. While the emulation is spot-on for the games, having to put up with a black bar around the screen could be upsetting to some.

I not only disliked this game, but found it very difficult to play. Not because it was hard to figure out the puzzles or move around, but because it had no fun to it.

I didn't keep track of the time I spent with The Third Age, but one thing's for certain ' you can't beat this game in a few nights.

The fact that the developers were able to incorporate so many different gameplay styles into the game and making them seem completely fitting and natural is a nice accomplishment.

One of the creepiest and most disturbing game experiences I've had in a long time. The game has a brooding sense of atmosphere and a great story that is the stuff of nightmares.

A repetitive beat-'em-up and on-foot racing game rolled into one. The Incredibles game isn't as incredible as the film.

A niche interest game and will leave other sim enthusiasts wanting something more vast. If you need something to fill your needs until you can get back up the mountain, I'd recommend this game easily.

Side-scrolling beat-'em-up action with your favorite superheroes. Worth a rental, and worth stealing from your little brother. But not worth buying for yourself.

Incredibly average.

The levels have been designed fairly well for the most part, but sometimes it gets a little frustrating having to begin again and again on a few levels, because of inefficient camera controls.

Much better than the Xbox incarnation, offering improvements in graphics, control and even slight AI improvements.

A stale adventure game with a fancy name on it. When it could have shined, it was dull. When the chance to kick in and throw some punches comes along, your thrusts are mired with the sluggish controls.

Adds some cool new gameplay features, like the ability to hot-swap between the four turtles. However, the biggest glaring problems in the first game (weak AI, bland levels and repetitive gameplay) rear their ugly heads this time around, as well.

The ideas were there but sloppy AI really makes this game falter well before the goal.

The humor is just right, and kids will enjoy the bright colors and the puzzles. However, the game is short the first time through, and there's not much reason to play again.

The games are solid, responsive, and, most important of all, fun; but their similarities to previous titles holds it back.

While there are no glaring problems or errors in this game, neither is there much fun, which is the point of gaming, after all. Best for die-hard SpongeBob fans.

Kids (young kids) will like this game except for the frustration. The vehicle controls aren't very accurate, causing a lot of unnecessary screw ups during that part of the game. Other than that it's a piewalk.

An above average platform game that delivers in terms of quality and fun. While not as joyous as Battle for Bikini Bottom, it is still a good game which will offer hours of gameplay.

The content is not too different from that of a PG-13 movie, with innuendo and plenty of adult jokes. The story mocks the genre as a whole, not just one particular group of characters.

The word “massive” doesn’t begin to describe the entire state of San Andreas and exploring it without any load times is like the cherry on top of an overly sweetened cake. Driving has been tightened to perfection and the changes to the targeting system makes popping caps on fools so much better.

I loved this game. It is rich, engaging and has a great repeat-play factor. I wanted to play it often, and for long periods of time. It's been a long time since I felt that drive from a game, much less a sim.

About the only thing that marks this as a Star Wars adventure is the style of the ships. But for that, this is a vehicular combat addition set in space. Yes, it is fun, and it is challenging, and there is always that bigger, better ship awaiting you.

While the game could have used a bigger selection of pop songs (even those that are modified) in the unlockable areas, there is little doubt that the songs offered here are very cool, and a lot of fun to drum along to. This can be an intense workout, but the game is very enjoyable, and it's a certified winner.

Adds the necessary graphical and control tweaks to make it recommendable over last year’s game, and even goes the extra mile with the All-Star Weekend game modes.

The graphical elements are very nice, and somewhat simplistic, and growing your character with armor is enjoyable. Unfortunately, the gameplay holds this back and the sound effects should have been discontinued 10 years ago, which is when this game would have been a solid performer.

The amount of strategy required to play this game is impressive, if not intimidating. It will take some time to understand the mechanics of the game, but once you do, you’ll likely find the gameplay strangely addictive.

You'll love every minute of it. Its enormous free-roaming environments, plenty of cars and hundreds of missions will keep you busy for a really long time.

The design itself isn't so bad, but if a game isn't fun, the best game design in the world isn't going to save it.

A top quality game that did not short the consumers or insult the seasoned players by dumping a low-end game for the sake of having a chess game for the Xbox. It's a joy to play, and keeps me wanting to come back for more.

Each of the moves that you want to execute performs flawlessly and looks great at the same time.

Okay, so maybe it's not the best RPG of the year. But it brings a good laugh to anyone who plays it.

Just about every single point goes towards the poker features, particularly over Xbox Live, but some of the other games do offer a bit of entertainment.

This game is drop dead gorgeous, has a good sound track, and is an absolute blast to play.

While gamers looking for serious meticulously realistic racing will probably be disappointed with the physics in the game, those looking for a fast smooth arcade racing game should have a great time.

The controls for playing this game are really easy to use and work really well. The only thing is if you just slightly move the stick to the left or right during a swing it could cause havoc on your shot just like real life.

Whether it's the brute strength of Kintoki and his mighty axe or the agility of Sadamitsu and her swift scythe, there is fun to be had by all and close to twenty hours to do so.

Due to the games short supply of play modes, Pumped and Primed suffers from a disappointing degree of lasting appeal.

A good game, but not terribly original in terms of gameplay. The real value of this cartridge comes in the inclusion of the two Tron arcade games, meaning that old-school gamers and fans of the film should check it out if only for that.

If you are on a limited budget and need a game for the kiddies, than look no further than Scaler!

Neo Contra’s greatest fault is that it ends before its time. Second, it’s a bit on the easy side when compared to other run-‘n’-gun shooters.

This is purely a reflexive arcade shooter. If you are looking for a light straightforward shooter, this may be your ticket to the target-and-shoot entertainment you crave.

Nowhere near the quality of the first.

There is no "type of gamer" who will enjoy it. You either will or you won't. No matter what I am pretty certain that the sun factor will drive you nuts.

It's obvious that the designers cared about their product and their target audience.

Battle Nexus is not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles best effort but if you're looking for a slightly better version of the game I suggest you forget the console versions and pick this one up instead.

Aside from sub par graphics and some AI issues, Men of Valor still remains a very solid interpretation of the Vietnam War.

A fun, interesting game that delivers. However, a few things keep it from being a great game, mostly due to an unevenness of difficulty across the board and the resulting lack of access to some of the games this may cause.

There is nothing new to add to the genre and nothing in particular stands out as being outstanding. Still Atlantis Evolution is a solid adventure game that is reminiscent of "Myst."

I thought the humor alone was worth the price of admission. Every thing that Harry does or says is over-exaggerated to the point of absurd silliness.

Easily one of the best first person shooters I've seen in a long time. The last time I had this much fun with a shooter was with "Half-Life" when it first came out. The great controls, involving storyline for the single-player game, good sound track, and the multiplayer options available make for an impressive game.

The AI may be a little suspect, and the animation a little stiff when compared to similar fighters, but KOF: Maximum Impact is a major step forward for the franchise.

The games real draw is its character customization and ally development via fusing and negotiating with enemies.

One of the best things about Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is that it is on a discounted price. Another thing that this game has going for it is that it is extremely "kid friendly."

While the game is indeed quite rare, its repetitive gameplay quickly wears out its welcome. This is too bad really, since the game looks nicely unusual and some of the levels can actually be fun.
