You won’t be beating it over the course of a weekend and it does bring something new to the table for you or your pre teen younger gamers who are into emergency and rescue shows or events.

Bad weather conditions are unnecessary for Enthusia. The controls are either stiff and awkward, or overly slippery.

The camera is a pain, but if you can't deal with some awkward angles, then obviously you haven't finished too many games. Let's face it: good camera systems are rare. Deal with it. Or miss out on a fun game.

While it’s great to play through the most exciting moments of such a great Bond film, the game’s various faults just get in the way of enjoying this one.

There are definitely flaws, but nothing that brings the game to a screeching halt.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja is a pretty fun game that would have been a lot better with more depth in the fighting controls.

A basic basketball engine that features a unique shooting system. It didn't work out too well, but I'll still thank the developers for trying something new.

It’s not that the games no longer hold up the way they use to but rather it’s the poor way in which some of the game are fit into the PSP’s screen.

The sense of atmosphere and ambience from the excellent PC version is all but gone from the PS2 version, with stiff controls, dumb AI, long loading times and tons of strange bugs. Overall, the gameplay is a shell of the PC version.

This game accomplishes the goal of bridging the gap between the challenging real-time strategy genre and the child gamer and does a great job appealing to that generation. However, for even the casual adult gamer, the repetitive nature of the levels and the minor frustrations brought on by the simplicity of design might lead to just a good rental experience.

The gameplay, the one thing that stood out most about the Mortal Kombat series, is flawed. I played with all of my favorites -- both Sub-Zeros, Kabal, Cyrax, Ermac, Sindel and Scorpion. Of those seven characters, six of them did not function properly at all.

The acrobatics are solid, but the blood spilling seems a little much for a stealthy warrior. Red Ninja could have been much more than it is, and what it is is an average tale.

It's not the game it could have been. Fans of The BIGS 1 will come to this game with high expectations, and unless those expectations are as simple as the addition of a season mode (or something equally minor), they're going to be deeply disappointed.

While it’s certainly a well-made digital recreation of the original card game, this is the very definition of a niche title: for a small group of people, the game is a godsend, and for everyone else, it’s utterly incomprehensible.

A relatively solid shooter with some great features that gamers won’t be able to find else where on the PS2. However, when compared directly to the other versions of the game, the PS2 versions stands out as a shoddy port and only a shell of what it could be.

NBA Live 10 is a title that EA Sports can use as a building block towards the future. Not everything is fine and dandy with this year’s iteration, but the product presented at least is able to keep the attention of the gamer for more than 15 minutes.

It has challenge, but stumbles on the graphical front.

While it is an engaging and often funny Nintendo DS platform game, Teenage Zombies rarely shuffles its way to new and clever heights. It’s a virtual comic book with plenty of brain-devouring action that could have been a lot better.

Incredibly average.

Monster House is a game that I think will make your 7-12 year old fairly happy. As an adult I found that it could get a little repetitive, but my son has spent way more time playing and shows no signs of letting up.

Certainly some nice eye candy, but under the surface is a pretty boring, simplistic boxer.

The online isn’t perfect with lag and a lack of players to play with, but it sure can be fun when everything clicks.

The game isn't lacking in content, but there is nothing innovative that hasn't been done before.

The game AI may have a few stumbles, and the graphical quality isn’t near the standards set by EASports or Midway, but this is not a bad game.

In spurts Dynasty Warriors Advance is a decent time-killer. I enjoy the game for five minutes here and there, 30 at most. It is not enjoyable to play if I force myself to stick around for any time period longer than that.

Initially a jaw-dropper but quickly a repetitive action game ruled by hack-n-slash mechanics, Afro Samurai is worth playing but does not warrant more than a rental.

When you stack a game like this up against other recent FPS programs – like "C&C’s Renegade," or "Alien versus Predator 2" – Carnivores comes up a little short.

Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing has a slew of faults that inevitably bring the title down but that’s not to say that you won’t have a good time in the ring.

Blade Dancer doesn’t stray from the tired formula of classic Japanese role-playing games when it comes to the storytelling and cast of characters.

The slow gameplay may not bother everyone, but I guarantee that it will annoy anyone who has played the real version of the game because the difference in speed is very noticeable.

Certainly a more enjoyable Potter game than last year’s Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince for the Xbox 360 still doesn’t quite manage to be a great Harry Potter game.

Unless you have a lot of extra fifties lying around, spend your money elsewhere.

Argghhh, the frustration of playing this game wouldn't be so bad if the rest of it stunk. But to have a game with cool devices, an interesting war over who should get magic and some really clever gameplay and then have stinky online play only makes the cut go that much deeper.

The series is still weighed down by its poor driving and shooting parts but compared to Streets of LA the game has its share of really fun moments worthy of a weekend rental.

Fans of button-smashers, here comes another experience you should have fun with.

The biggest and what will probably be the final deathblow to this game for a lot of people is the overall difficulty.

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe for the PSP is not a bad game for younger gamers but it does lack variety and challenging enemies to fight.

It’s not a step up, but it’s not really a step down either. It’s just kind of…there. Worth renting, but pass if you have last year’s edition, or can get the more promising version for Xbox 360.

Rigid combat. limited game control, and other below average parts in the game just doesn't cut it.

While there are some seriously entertaining mission scenarios, the single-player campaign is marred by poor enemy and teammate AI as well as some straightforward levels that have you zipping through them way too quickly.

It’s like the song says, “Load times killed the video star.” In this case a well-planned, well-executed RPG caught in a cluster of technical idiosyncrasies.

Three types of laser-blasting fun: on foot, in a tank, and in a spaceship. The first two are pretty close in controls and level layout. They differ in speed and weapon type, but not much else. The last one – the spaceship – is a slow clone of the top-down, side-scrolling space shooter genre. It’s only fun you have something to blast.

It may not be in the third dimension, but it's so much more entertaining than its PlayStation 2 counterpart.

As my duty of reviewing the games in the state they come out of the box, I can’t give a higher score with the lack of mouse support even though the story, pacing, and puzzles are great.

If you’re a fan of the Cartoon Network show or like your brawling games extremely wacky then you might want to spend an entire weekend with this one.

Steel Horizon works well as a mainstream DS release but does not have the intransigent components of a cutthroat strategy game. Its combat is too simplistic.

The movie sequences are an excellent addition -- there are more sequences here than in the game based on Toy Story 2.

Still very solid, but there is nothing new to add to your gameplay. The bots are simply players that don't really exist, but boy are they skilled!

Sadly, the weak camera and fighting mechanics just don’t work as well as Size Matters.

Before playing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, you should first be a huge Harry Potter fan. Second, you should have a high tolerance for backtracking and mini-game repetition. Third, you must be able to enjoy a game that isn't challenging (some players just can't do that).

Hardcore gamers (young or old) would be wise to ignore the kiddy image and give the game a shot.

Gamers should only pick up PaRappa the Rapper as quick trip down memory lane with a rental or borrowing from a friend.

This game won’t shine your shoes, press your clothes or mow your lawn, but it’s a game that offers a few minutes of removing yourself from the rigors of day-to-day life.

This is a game built for a niche crowd. You are not piloting that fighter, making it a personal one-on-one battle, but rather controlling a massive ship that has a crew that follows the orders you give from the command center.

Due to repetitive and extremely linear gameplay and an overall lack of polish, Enter the Matrix ends up being not all it could have been.

While the game makes it possible to see into Hef's life, Playboy: The Mansion isn't engrossing enough to want to keep playing for very long.

The good graphics, great gameplay, excellent sound effects and music add up to a solid, enjoyable title. However the questionable AI, lack of multiplayer options and repetitive difficulty might have some gamers looking for their own escape route.

The retail price of the game is enough to dissuade you from purchasing it, without even considering its mediocrity.

Ys: The Ark of Napishtim falls short in innovating or creating something fresh from an old idea.

Dull and boring, not too many will play it longer than one sit through. For the fan of the series, you may want to rent since there is no nostalgic moments to reminisce about.

The game isn’t half bad, but it really becomes quite tedious after a certain amount of time.

A pretty straightforward brawler that, while fun at first, probably won’t hold your attention for very long.

The game will provide a good deal of fun for younger fans of the film, even though older kids may not find it to be as entertaining.

The problem with the controls is that they don't seem accurate, causing sloppy game play.

Not to say that this game doesn’t have a few good qualities, but they’re dampened by barren level design and poor enemy AI.

A nice collection, though a little skimpy. Similar items can be downloaded off fan sites for free, but this game provides the underscoring meshes needed to make some of those work correctly.

On the one hand the rules of the game have been translated perfectly to video-game format and adding new troops to your army is fun. On the other hand there’s the incredibly lame story, the quirky stylus controls, and the mediocre mission structures and graphics.

A fun enough add-on, I just can't recommend it at the price.

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.

This should be a must have game for $9.99, as it is, with a missing online capability, it is a possible have, depends on what floats your boat.

The idea behind the game is sound, and the game is a delight to look at, but Lost Kingdoms falters when it comes to the way the game plays out.

The game's humor and good gameplay definitely saved this game from its obvious flaws of controls and glitches. Some gamers will like the game, and it will annoy some. But if you are a Ratchet and Clank fan, don't pass it up.

"Wii Sports" allowed us to use the Wiimote to actually swing while this game merely uses a flick to swing, or a flick to pitch. It has entertainment value, is not an overly deep baseball experience and feels like it could have taken the series to the next level rather than leaving the franchise stranded on the bases. What is here is fine, but the series has not truly advanced much.

Taken as a whole, this game offers fun, engrossing gameplay in the action levels, but getting from one level to the next is a hassle because of the added story mode.

Plagued with various imperfections, TransWorld Snowboarding does not rise above its problems to be an extreme sports title worthy of a snowboarding aficionado.

The SingStar franchise needs to rethink song lists. There are some new titles upcoming that might offer more variety than this one does.

Something does seem to be missing in this translation, and the game seems a little sanitized.

It is not a must-have title, by any means, but it does have some entertainment value.

Shoots itself in the foot thanks to a ponderous control system.

This is a title that is fit for the Asian style of gaming, which means it is long on grind.

This is a niche game and one for those who are a huge fan of this type of game.

The crashes are silly, the music is hard driving but the commentary is not the best. The racing is only average.

The gameplay is basic and while there is a bit of a learning curve, the game still has a few rough patches to work through.

The Force may be unleashed, but it's a bit more average than the dream Star Wars fans were hoping would come true.

If you don’t know who the Cheetah Girls are, then you may want to skip out on this DDR title.

This game had great potential, but unfortunately it fails to deliver. Only the most hardcore baseball fanatics are going to be able to stomach the breadth and depth of this title. I'm a pretty big baseball fan, and it was even too much for me.

The idea is there and the graphical quality is solid, but the game misses on the setup to bowling the ball. Fix that and this download will be a decent diversion.

A solid title, but there is too much repetition, both in that this is so similar to the original and in that the missions can see similar. What was very good in 2002 is only average in 2004.

While I liked the overall arcade feel to the game and I thought that the car handling was OK, I really thought that the track designs were pretty dull overall and that there just really wasn’t a whole lot of excitement to them.

A wonderful cast of characters, a decent if not simple puzzles and foes ­ all of which is somewhat spoiled by some game-play problems.

The single-player mode is where the game seems to stutter along with a few longer than necessary load times...The computer AI in the single-player mode does some crazy things that will have you frustrated and puzzled.

With a little more polish and options this game could have been exceptional. The content and graphics were done wonderfully, but the poor interface and frustrating controls get in the way of the enjoyment.

D1 Grand Prix’s style-over-speed gameplay is perfect not for those who enjoy watching the sport, but for those who actually do it understand its persistent challenge.

If you're a fan of the actual gameshow, you'll almost definitely get a kick out of the Wii version.

With the poor controls and boring levels Rengoku doesn’t feel nearly as fluid as it could.

It feels pretty clunky for a fighting game, and only those die-hard One Piece fans will claw their way through this title.

Some solid action could keep fans entertained for a while, although this one will not be as fondly remembered as the film on which it’s based in years to come.

The camera is a necessary improvement, though it's one that should've been done a long time ago. I like the Sugoroku party game, but I wouldn't buy a game bearing the "Warriors" name just to play it.
