It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better and a lot less glitchy than a ton of other racers out there that I have played. After you get used to the controls it’s a lot of fun.

While the gameplay may leave something to be desired, much of the talent from the TV show, be it voice, writing or otherwise, has ported over to work on the game, giving the game all the wit, humor and feel of the fantastic TV show.

The graphics are beautiful and along with the sound effects and musical score really immerse you in the game.

Not only is the game fun, the movie sequences are a joy to watch and make a good game into a great must have title.

A neat title to have if you really want a LOTR title that brings a little more to the game than just what you saw at your local theater, but missing parts, changes to the story, and some technical and gameplay issues cannot be overlooked while playing it.

Curse of Atlantis provides some good, old-fashioned point and click with a solid story and voice work.

With all the right elements in place, Legends of Wrestling II had all the makings of a great wrestling title but its faults take away from the fun.

Retains the gameplay of the original that makes it enjoyable, but it just seems to be getting a little past it’s time for not only the gameplay, but the graphics as well.

With the headphones, it was an enveloping experience with plenty of challenge, and good replay value.

Oddly enough, I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy Ghost Recon when I wasn’t encountering problems.

The driving and shooting found in Starsky & Hutch would have been a dream come true but thanks to the awkwardness of the controls for the shooting side of it you’ll be frustrated if you’re playing this as a single player experience. The missions can also become really repetitive and that’s too bad since there are a small number of missions that really kick asphalt.

Don't be expecting anything groundbreaking with Hydrophobia. Although, I mildly enjoyed myself while playing through this game, the annoying control scheme and rather standard gameplay leaves me feeling like the game has a little more potential than what was tapped into.

While somewhat faithful to the cartoon, Avatar: The Last Airbender for the PS2 fails to capture the true essence of the show’s characters in a game that’s short and uninspiring.

I really can't say I recommend this title, especially when Dynasty Warriors 6 is sitting on the shelf right next to it. Unless of course, you're a Dynasty Warriors fanatic, and want to get a new take on the series.

Space Chimps surprisingly doesn't suck as long as we're talking about the platforming sections. It's basic stuff that you've played before, but it's also done well -- kiddies who liked the movie will get a kick out of it.

An entertaining adventure game with just enough variety and inventive puzzles to please fans of the movie or books. There are certainly a few rough spots here and there and the visuals are not as eye-catching as they should be but the game has a number of fun moments that should not be missed by fans of the series.

A charming mini-game collection, but one that could have used more “oomph” for staying power. Still, families with multiple children will probably want to take a look, as it does offer some variety and no violence.

A game that should be reviled and admired at the same time. I kept wanting to despise the game but found myself playing it more and more.

The ability to control a dragon so freely, and with so much power, has not been had from a previous handheld release.

It’s fun to play for a while, though it grows old quickly, and the only real urge to keep playing is to unlock historical Playboy covers and centerfolds.

At worst this game still remains a somewhat enjoyable experience thanks to the deep customizability of creating rooms.

A typical RTS with some atypical races. It would be a nice introduction to the newcomer to the genre, and veterans of this mode or warfare will find it challenging.

This game will only suit hardcore fans of the J.R.R. Tolkien series.

Back on track, Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is a huge improvement over what the past installments have offered.

The game does require that you can read well, the pop up boxes tell you what to do and not to do. It would be helpful for younger players if these instructions were given verbally.

With not much to offer in terms of modes or challenges that will keep you interested enough to see this one through the end, I could only recommend this one as a weekend rental.

An innovative premise hides a conventional, but fairly streamlined set of gameplay modes that should keep young audiences occupied for hours. A bit more variety in the gameplay could really improve the experience for a sequel.

When looking at this game, players will see a decent movie stuff with a sub-par game. The movie in this compilation really outshines this game.

The final product is one that will appeal to more impressionable children, but probably frustrate the more determined ones.

This game is beyond easy to where anyone with any gaming knowledge will be able to beat it in no time with very little challenge.

Coded Arms's clunky controls that are anything but inviting. I had no desire to return to this game after playing it for a measly 60 minutes. None!

Step & Roll is a “step” in the right direction since the game is embracing the other peripherals available for the Wii. There are plenty of gamers that have the Balance Board sitting around collecting dust and now Monkey Ball is an excuse to get it out. However, just take a deep breath and remember that the sensitivity and accuracy might be too much at times.

Even though TMNT was a huge disappointment for me I could see this being a good game for kids, but for more experienced gamers it’s just too boring and uneventful.

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!

It unfortunately just felt too repetitive. The combat (both as an army and with Robin as an individual) is very basic and simplistic, and doesn’t offer much to really work with.

Last Raven is your last chance to experience the world of Armored Core on the PS2. Even if the MSRP weren't $29.99, you'd have a ridiculously hard time trying to find a more complete mobile suit package. The gameplay (battles), pre-gameplay (customization), flashy graphics, and adrenaline-filled soundtrack are some of the best this series has had to offer.

A disappointing game from start to finish. Garfield would never work this hard for anything, not even lasagna.

Most gamers, however, will be turned off by its overly easy objectives, most of which involve the same few actions. Camera confusion ensures disappointment by all but the most forgiving players.

Straightforward, easy-to-follow exploration and button-mash gameplay. Fun for kids but severely repetitive.

Hardcore gamers will love the high difficulty of the opponents, while casual gamers will be amazed at how many vehicles there are.

The gameplay borrows heavily from the Zelda games and it works to great effect here. The controls are simple and easily mastered, never getting in the way of the gamer’s enjoyment of the game.

A fun game if you enjoy hunting or hunting titles, but it probably won’t have enough to bring the casual player into it and keep them hooked for the long run … like myself.

Entertaining at times, frustrating at others, Top Gun never really picks gamers up and takes them away.

Monster House draws inspiration from the myriad array of Mature rated survival horror games all while keeping it rated E10+. It’s a fun, scary romp that’s perfect for fans of the movie and tykes that like goosebumps.

The controls for this game are really well done. What is not so well done is the enemy AI, seeing the crashing scenes a billion times, and not even getting to properly customize the cars yourself.

As an overall package, kids won’t be blown away but they will be entertained by the catchy music (even though every song is a cover), they’ll appreciate the gameplay variety (the frontman mechanics are weird but different), and enjoy the stylized visuals, which are quite inventive for Wii, a console that is usually slapped with dated graphics.

The amount of variety is good, with lots of powerups, goodies in the gear shop, and all sorts of different gaming modes for single or multi-player. But the tracks are schizophrenic, and uneven in design. Some are frustrating, and some are too easy.

Sadly, Lost in Blue 3 has lost it’s charm or sense of adventure that made the first game so refreshingly appealing to Nintendo DS owners.

Explorers of Darkness doesn't provide the intense challenge or genuine sense of accomplishment that some of the other Mystery Dungeon titles are known for, and adult players might find the whole thing a little cutesy.

I did like this game, and loved the variety of lures and lush scenery. It is among the best I have ever seen in such a game. There are just some missing aspects of the actual casting, catching and ability to land the treasured Trophy fish.

The developers tried to enhance the new version, but took away from the original.

It just seems that even with the unique ideas and pretty graphics, they never quite managed to pull it all together, and its just not all that much fun.

Actually playable, not too hard on the eyes, and pretty darn fun for those of us who hold to our classic fantasy movies despite the passage of time.

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.

Experienced game players picking up this program will soon discover that the yolk ... er, joke is on them.

Boasts incredible graphics and audio, but extremely linear gameplay.

One thing that can definitely be said here is that the game is funny, and it will provide some good laughs along the way while you are playing it.

This racing game is made for lovers of all things GM. No, I'm lying to see if you're paying attention. If you don't love Mustangs, you won't like this game.

Suffers greatly due to poor plot execution. The pace at which this game plays out, and the tedious cut screens you have to endure really kill any momentum you might have going.

The AI is not that intelligent and the lag in the control scheme needs work. But as this is a port that will not see too many more iterations, you will have to make due with what it allows.

If you're one of the two people who couldn't wait for Fist of the North Star to get its own game on next-gen consoles, your time has finally come. Everyone else will find a mediocre brawler, hidden under a coat of post-apocalyptic paint.

The game has some fine elements, but feels a little too directed at times and while pulling two diverse genres together is novel, not really enough attention was paid to either to create an experience that will draw players back time and again.

If you’re a point and click game nut, then add an extra point to all of the scores. The game offers an easy to use control scheme, good graphics, above average music and an interesting story. For gamers that just don’t have the patience anymore for a point and click game, then this definitely isn’t your game.

Apart from the music, this is a snore fest that’s best to be avoided.

Not as fun as it could have been considering the film's fun subject matter, Open Season is a rather dull and repetitive platform game with not much going for it.

A kid’s game, and doesn’t try to hide that fact. While young gamers might enjoy the game for a while, though, the general lack of much to do ensures that it won’t keep them busy for long.

Not quite as creepy as "Singles: Flirt Up Your Life," not quite as frustrating as "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude," but nowhere near as good of a game as anything from The Sims franchise.

If you’re looking for the next big title for the Wii, Victorious Boxers Revolution isn’t the game. If you’re looking for a solid title that offers some great control options, especially for the Wii, then this is your game.

Many handheld games do justice to their console counterparts. The PSP version of MX Vs. ATV Untamed isn’t one of them.

Jam may lack the luster and polish of the Wii launch title, but this is a game that does a good job fitting the graphics and sound to play style and provides a nice range of game modes.

Line Rider 2 is a unique experience for the DS that is only limited by a challenging interface. Yet once you get a decent track designed and watch your Rider sled away with reckless abandonment the excitement and fun kicks in.

The game is a nightmare to learn.

Dedicated Bleach fans will find a lot to love about The 3rd Phantom but, as far as true RPG and strategy fans are concerned, its few flaws are just too noticeable to ignore. That said, however, the game manages to squeeze in plenty of Bleach lore and the battles can be loads of fun thanks to the great number of characters available so you may want to check this one out either way.

Just slightly above average.

The game is creation driven and making new goofy monsters will appeal to most and the sport like games will please those parents who want a less violent title for their young children.

You will find yourself getting bored with steering the ships around pretty soon as the mission objectives are not that fun. Also the controls are a bit quirky, I have a very hard time trying to use my mouse to use the throttles.

Alpha Prime is a commendable game that offers a solid FPS gaming experience but lacks the innovation some might expect with a new game.

Overall, there are no redeeming values to Blade Kitten. It wasn't charming, witty, well thought out or exciting.

While this is no "NFS: Underground," followers of both drift racing and the scandalous underworld of street racing will find a good deal to admire.

I’m sorry, Dave. These controls are weak.

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.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon may be a kid’s game but there isn’t much here for kids to enjoy. They’ll be amused by the story, visuals and music but will be turned off by the gameplay’s many frustrations.

My biggest gripe of all is that there are no hand-to-hand options at all. No knife, no punching, kicking, screaming, plain and simple you are just out there with your good looks. For a game that has such a big emphasis on covert ops, I found this to be a bit frustrating.

Combines a solid interface with an intriguing storyline. In addition, the multiplayer options make Outlive stand above its competitors.

At first look, it seemed to be a tired plot revisited. However, the more times it was played, the easier it was to get into the game, and to even enjoy it.

Misses the mark as a major league player, but works well as an arcade offshoot. Fun, partially innovative, and a good way to kill short waiting periods.

If the developers put some additional time sprucing up the graphics engine, the controls, and the difficulty level, this would have been a game to seriously contend with.

A good game for kids, and one which offers some good replayability, with the Trial mode of unlocked games.

The controls were not ironed out enough, which makes the game almost impossible to play with the balance board. Even the motion controls are not very good. Hopefully the next version will iron out these issues as this could be a really great "younger-gamer friendly" skateboarding series. The game as it is now is best left as a last option rental.

When all is said and done, the fun factor suffers from the repetition, and the game – while it fits the download concept well, and is a good arcade idea – stumbles in places that should have been shining moments. Arkadian Warriors is too much like Gauntlet, without the cleverness of the levels.

Everblue 2 has terrific diving scenes, and you may find yourself enjoying that aspect over and over while forgetting about the actual missions, but tries to blend them into a story that is not that solid nor well told.

Rent it as a last resort. You can live without this game, trust me.

Current fans will enjoy the new content and better graphics, but new players won’t be as impressed. The solid gameplay of the original shines through, although it is a bit rusty in places after a few years.

A viciously twisted game that isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty but it falls short when it comes to the challenges.

There are some frustrations with saves and puzzle implementation, but the game does have solid entertainment value.

If you love puzzle style games or games with an 80's arcade feel to them then you may have something here. Otherwise, I'd say take a pass.

A decently fun platformer, with enough variety to keep it interesting, but one that suffers a little from awkward controls and too few game hours.

The game looks good and the controls are not hard to understand, but this is another in a long line of games that are riding the crest of the feature film and not offering anything compelling enough to maintain interest for long.
