    Taiketsu just doesn't work. With bad gameplay, graphics, sound, and multiplayer, it leaves this reviewer complaining more than Andy Rooney.

    Now, if I could only get REAL reproductions of "Tron," "Kangaroo," "Reactor," "Vanguard" and "Gorf" -- I'd be a happy gamer!!
    • 69 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The game is pretty easy to run through due to the progression based on points rather than victories, and makes the game seem to get done with too quickly.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Despite its flaws, this is the best Spawn game I've played. It's a "Devil May Cry" clone all the way through, but it's not like these games are a dime a dozen.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Looks good, plays well, but lacks the darkness and depth that defines the title character.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Starts out pretty good, but ultimately falls prey to repetition and nasty camera problems.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    There are so many fun games that it’s hard to stop playing. If you happen to run into a game you don’t like, no big deal – just move on to the next.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The PS2 games have slowly been amping up the experience with minute additions over the years, but this Xbox DDR considerably kicks it up a notch, like so much Iron Chef.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    One of the most enthralling games released this year.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A fun, action-filled romp that stays true to the spirit of the characters as Mel Blanc envisioned them. Improvements on the camera system would be nice.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    I recommend this game for its great story, wonderfully intense battles and a killer multiplayer mode that takes the action online.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This game feels rushed. The interfaces is simple and easy to get hold of, but the tempo of the game is such that you have little time to savor what you are seeing or doing.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It doesn't have depth or any mind-blowing mechanics, but the destroy-everything-in-sight gameplay is more rewarding than you'd expect.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    While it’s not the finest tuned game on the market, the comic book presentation is smoother than silk and even despite some areas of improvement it remains an entertaining story that will keep you playing on.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The controls are responsive and worked well, both for the sneaking around aspect and the heads up melee fighting if you happen to get spotted.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Looks amazing, but the game play is rather ordinary,
    • 35 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    This game is not very realistic and tries to combine arcade elements with a solid FPS backdrop and what happens is that this game looks contrived and stilted...This is a game to avoid.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Astounding!
    • 93 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    It offers some pretty fundamental improvements over the Xbox version and stands as one of the best PC RPGs out there.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    By combining a solid space flight/combat game with a solid mission structure, Battlestar gives players a fun experience.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A terrific treat for the eyes. The gameplay is simplistic and veteran gamers should pass on this, as it won’t be a diversion for long. But younger players may find this a wonderful little arcade adventure in a lush world.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The sequel adds in a lot of new unlockable content to help extend replay value, new face offs with vocals, longer button holds, and even instruments, and the overall controls and challenge seem a lot better in this version.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Taut and gripping. The game is seamless and action packed once a mission is launched. The cutscenes are very well done and really set up the action.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The target lock system, time shifting controls, excellent sound effects and smooth controls were a pleasure to this gamer.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Elements of the RTS and fighting genres will turn heads. But some will complain about the over-simplicity.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The driving physics, though, do leave something to be desired. No matter what tire configuration you put on the car, it still has a tendency to slide a bit.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is not for the new player to the strategic gaming genre. It will likely provide a challenge to veterans due to its frenetic pacing. The game has depth, but hurries through it rather than allowing players to savor the experience.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    You won’t be hard-pressed to find a better shooter on the GBA and not buying it may send a message to developers everywhere that slapping a “name-brand” title like Terminator 3 on a game doesn’t justify underdevelopment.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Thanks to the poor controls and the fact that the levels seem to drag on forever, Flight of the Falcon just feels like a very forced and flawed experienced from the very start.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Beyblade combines a slick, good-sounding, spinning, battling tops game with an uninspired storyline to come off overall with a flat effort that may appeal to fans of the series, but offers little new for regular gamers. If your kids are Bey-crazy, this is the ticket.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    I love the show as does the little Bearer, but the characters are just not enough to overcome the repetitive, flawed gameplay.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I wish I can say that this is the closest to online gaming heaven you’ll ever get but it’s small faults are just too hard to ignore.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    To put it bluntly, if you are looking for a racing game for the Xbox, one that is stunning graphically with superb racing mechanics, look no further than this title...Amazing, awesome, superb - the superlatives could never end.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia's exquisite levels, adventurous gameplay, deep music, and technology-defying graphics make it a must-own for every adventure-loving gamer.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A good game with solid animation, and a terrific passing system. The game may not be one of the top scorers in the league, but it set up the goal scoring opportunity very well.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Looks great, plays well, but is fairly typical of the action/arcade genre.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    While edgy and slightly humorous, Whiplash loses its fresh platformer goodness way too early in the game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The game suffers from sluggish game play and perceived slow controller response issues.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    While it’s not as highly innovative as it was meant to be, XIII on the Xbox is still an addictive action-noir first-person shooter with a lot of style.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Every aspect of this game is outstanding, the concept, level designs, controls, graphics, etc.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The gameplay is where it's at with a great, 40-mission single-player campaign and tons of multiplayer maps to unlock. Controlling Glitch is not in the least bit frustrating.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    40K fans will probably not regret picking this up, and run and gun action fans will definitely get more out of it than gamers looking for something to present them with a major challenge.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A solid adventure for gamers who want the EverQuest experience in a console format. It is richly rendered and provides a solid entertainment experience.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A great adventure game, despite having a few technical problems and being a little too easy. There's really no excuse for the sound problem, and that is why I didn't rate this game higher.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    There are just too many "other" features in this game that it made it hard for the developers to create the thing that mattered most: a truly exhilarating sense of speed. Graphically the game does that. But physically it does not.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    While it might not be perfect, Need for Speed Underground is an impressive racing game, packed full of bonuses that will keep you playing for days.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Simple tasks like checking the dead for equipment isn't as easy as it should be and neither is working with the characters inventory. Again. the game's A.I. isn't very even as the game progresses and the sound is atrocious.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A gaming treasure.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The game seems to be a little slow paced, and does not sport the pulse-pounding, floor-racing frenetic pace often associated with NCAA hoops. However the game is seamless in other regards.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    An immensely enjoyable game that will consume your day, if you're not careful. A great game for multiple players; too bad there are only two save slots.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Everything or Nothing may not be Bond’s most shining moment as far as GBA games go, but there is still some fun to be had in this third-person action game.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    It's not just an RPG with the cast of "Super Mario Bros." The story is laugh-out-loud hilarious.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The gameplay is slow, but fun and also repetitive. With only one main goal, the innovation seems less important when you wish you could just abandon the passengers and go on a new journey.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Infiltrator manages to do what "Rising Sun" couldn’t: it innovates the series and moves it along in a new gameplay direction while maintaining the sense of atmosphere that made the Medal of Honor series so fun to play.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    From the quick-step jumper to the slicing 3-point shooting, the game had a lot of replay value.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    Its replay value is impervious to boredom – you will never, ever want to part with this game. It is a classic that will go down in gaming history as one of Nintendo's best offerings.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The real draw is the depth of the game. This is not a title for the casual turn-based strategic gamer. This is a title that requires thought, patience and a solid foundation in the game mechanics.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A decent simulation with cute animals, always a sure bet for kids and all lovers of nature. There are a few rough edges, but there are also more things to do than in "Zoo Tycoon," and the price is better.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The overall element remains intact … train, fight, adventure ... but you can also do more personal area customization and once again cross breed which can add hours and hours to the gameplay.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The Simpsons’ universe is so well conceived in Hit & Run that you can’t help but feel charmed by the atmosphere.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Some of the animations in places are a little repetitive and awkward. But overall this title does a great job of bringing the excitement of the college game to life.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The balance between the board game / influence style of play and using cards to turn the tables on an opponent works out extremely well, and the amount of cards that you can get and combinations to add into your decks is impressive.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    From the opening sequence, I could tell this was special.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The ability to play as some of DC’s characters from the hit cartoon show on Cartoon Network was nifty, but the AI issues and repetitive action scenes tend to get a little boring after a while.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    There are just so many ways you can approach a given situation within each mission and this is the heart and soul of Rainbow Six 3 ... and what makes this such a pure joy to play on a continuous basis.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Feeds off an incredible storyline, but is hampered by somewhat linear gameplay.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Nothing you see and nothing you read can prepare you for this game. Beyond Good & Evil is a masterpiece through and through.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Uru’s deep story and great puzzles easily make it one of the best adventure games of the year.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This series has great potential, but it is ruined by the developers by not making it deeper. On the other hand, if you love to button mash, this is the game for you!
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The storyline is really showing its age and aside from new some new features to make the game a bit more convenient (as in more storage space), this is a case of second verse same as the first.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Terminated on Arrival. It's so slow and mundane that you won't even feel like you're playing a game that's based on the movie.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a shame to see a game that could have been spectacular turn out to be just a little bit above average.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Prolongs the extreme pleasure of the first game while introducing enough off-the-wall additions to consistently surprise you.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It would have been easy to throw out a repeat of last year’s title considering there is no competition, but it is nice to see that EA Sports has actually improved the game. Well done, and a lot of fun.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Hands down, this is by far the best console RTS that I have played to date, and it really helps console owners who haven’t played PC RTS titles to see what all the fun is about.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A somewhat addictive and enjoyable race game wrapped in sterling graphical elements.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The controls are not reliable in any sense. It is not fun playing a game, when you are constantly worrying if the players will do the commands that you tell them to.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Drab enemies and weapons, average graphics but below average levels make this a "prequel" that does not do the series justice.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    If you are a fan of the crusades or a first time RTS buyer though, the low price tag may also be a good way for you to get your feet wet and the simple gameplay style overall could be a good stepping stone into the more detailed titles out on the shelves.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid title, sporting great graphics and intensive action. The new features are certainly welcome but do take this game away from the purist hunting title that it was.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Had it not been for the frequent slowdown and the “iffy” driving sequences this game could have scored an 8 easily, making it one of the better entries on the GBA.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Not even close to the exciting console versions.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Offers gamers a solid racing experience that might leave some gamers wanting more.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The game has been kept rather simple in terms of controls to allow players to jump right in and go with a minimal time spent in learning the game. The mission interface could have been better. But if you are looking for an RTS with imagination, this is definitely worth a gander.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    A shoddy game that could have been something. This game has a very rushed feeling to it. The controls are not perfected, the aiming is way off, the AI is a push over, and the mission structure is laughable.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The game is both dark and brutally bloody but the action is always intense and there is much to see in this world that the heavily violent content can quickly be dismissed.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Blends sterling graphics with solid animation and golf dynamics to make for an enjoyable outing on some of the nicest-looking courses in the genre.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    While not making quite the same impact as Frontline, Rising Sun has its small share of thrilling moments that makes this a somewhat average installment of the Medal of Honor series. The game does, though, magnificently capture the essence of the era but it also accurately recreates war’s most brutal moments.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Provides familiar landmarks, stays true to elements of the story and allows players to work through the levels in a way that provides fun and challenge.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The game holds onto a lot of the same problems that plagued Frontline and that ultimately sours the experience. Plus, with no online play and murky graphics, the GameCube version is certainly the runt of the litter.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Certain aspects such as the graphics and the virtual simulated store have merit, but the gameplay itself doesn't push this game ahead of the pack.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    A masterpiece.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A dynamic, immersive game that may be too complex in the puzzle department for some. For others, if you pay attention to your environment, and don’t let little setbacks slow you down, but keep plugging away, you will find a rhythm and pacing to this game.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Fairly solid gameplay experience, but it really does feel like it was made for a console.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Conspiracies has a complicated story that never seems to go anywhere. It has puzzles that I felt were ridiculous, but others may find hysterical. The acting, voiceovers, environments and puzzles seemed forced, inadequate and illogical.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The Game Boy Advance is not equipped to handle a game of this stature. The developers had very little to work with, forcing them to bring the game down to a level that's often too weak to enjoy.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The controls aren't entirely perfect, but they function well enough to get players through the game without wanting to quit.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The controls for both of these characters are very tight and always responsive.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    While the intent was a good one, the execution leaves something to be desired. Pax Romana has deep content, but the gameplay is a little on the weak side.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Good controls with a surprisingly fun training session help make this first person shooter one of the more enjoyably controlled games I've played all year.
