On top of the flawed shooting mechanics there are glitches aplenty that keep this from being an inventive and fun shooter. Sorry, but this is one action game best left forgotten by time.

The challenge of orchestrating intricate heists sounds fun, but this game lacks the intricacy, the challenge and the fun.

It was a failure as a challenge, and tribute, to a Disney film.

Sega Superstars Tennis is a few stars short of Virtua Tennis quality. It’s got some of the right pieces (and some ugly deformed shapes called “mini-games” that should’ve been tossed aside) but none of them came together.

Repetitious button-mashing gameplay that rarely engages the brain is the undertone of this title.

Drome Racers does little to encourage the player to return.

Falls far below expectations.

Online play is restricted, the gameplay is slow, the AI is unbalanced, and the camera isn't as smooth or as "dynamic" as in Monkey Ball.

It is too much for a small child to pick up and play-- without help, but older kids will feel as though they have played it before-- long ago. They would be right. It's stale and [there's] no wind in the sails.

The gameplay is extremely basic and somewhat boring. Build up an army, go fight, go to the next level. And so on.

Dying has never been a fun part of gaming, and dying because of a poor camera system and not a lack of skill is even worse.

The addition of animals and a spa to manage might be a welcome addition, or a much desired subtraction for fans of the franchise.

The Wii controls are absolutely atrocious and players will have a hard time swinging the reticule around during the on-foot action. Even flying your saucer or taking control of the impressive Big Willy mech is a tad awkward.

Even with the limited character customization, online multiplayer, and Item Fusion system, Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is a disappointing RPG.

Not bad for 20 bucks, but when I think of the hassles of going back and fourth between disks, I would just rather play another game compilation or fire up a console.

Despite the good story, great graphics and nice characterization, playing this game isn’t any fun. The interface is painful.

A mediocre title with few bells and whistles.

Overall, Mayhem 3D lacks depth in many departments, but it delivers an average experience for fans of destruction racing games.

A disappointment. Despite the good graphics, decent sound, and rich story, the gameplay suffers quite badly.

Uninspired shooting elements, horrible AI, poor controls and a host of bugs basically line this one out.

Just Dance has all the right ideas, but all the wrong mechanics. Below average graphics and a flawed rating system were the difference in this game coming more dud than hit.

Just about the only thing that makes this a somewhat interesting title is the Create Track mode that allows you go get as creative as you want ... and it’s easy to use as well.

Thanks to its many glaring flaws such as awful camera and awkward combat controls, Catwoman isn’t much fun to play even with the cool feline abilities.

Some decent variety in the mechanics and a fairly amusing premise aren’t enough to save Garfield Gets Real from its monotonous and absurd level design. Very young devotees may find it a briefly amusing adventure, but this really feels more like an advertisement that someone is expecting you to pay money for.

Luke was a Chosen One. Neo was a Chosen One. Woody and Buzz Lightyear – even they are Chosen Ones. This game, however, is not.

This series needs to get an overhaul bad. I think the developers have done just about everything they can with Lan at this time and they need to think of a new direction to take this game.

You get what you pay for here; it's a bargain-priced game that has some small tidbit of fun if played in short bursts. Otherwise it's an exercise in repetition and mindless button mashing.

You can learn as you go, but this game is too simple and may have been an enjoyable experience if there was online support with tournaments and fees for entering them, with substantial rewards. As a single-player game, it is too simple and too limited.

Ghost Rider tries to be many things, and ends up missing the boat on what it was that made the comic book so good in the first place.

A game I wanted to like but it slapped me across the face and called me "Imelda" due to its poorly implemented ideas and less-than-fleshed-out possibilities.

The humor in the game is very funny and could almost pass for a lost episode of the show. However the rest of the game just falls apart due to the gameplay.

One of the most commonly know facts to all gamers everywhere is that movie-to-video-game translations are normally pretty bad. The sad thing is that overall, the trend is still continuing and has claimed its latest victim with X-Men: The Official Game.

Manages to rip off everything that made Frogger a nice game, but still ends up no fun.

It is one of the more disappointing brain games I have engaged in; nothing too difficult here and unless you absolutely must play every puzzler out there, I would take a pass.

As a first or second game for a six-year-old, Slop Bucket Games might be a golden stocking stuffer. But there isn't enough to this mini-game collection to make it a worthy gift for the average kid gamer.

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.

Horrible, horrible, horrible, did I mention that this game is horrible in regards to the control scheme. What were they thinking making the fixed camera and the controls literally fight one another.

Nothing more than a weekend rental, Heroes Over Europe is a disappointing title when gamers look back and take notice at how well Transmission Games handled their first flight game, Heroes of the Pacific.

Another idea gone horribly awry, there is far better out there.

The game is just too repetitive and easy.

Gamers looking for good Loony Tunes mayhem will be sorely disappointed with this game that looses its amusement pretty early.

The Legend of Jack Sparrow was very disappointing as a game and hurt the franchise’s appeal as a consequence.

A good entry level game for the beginners, but anyone else should probably take a pass, but then again, at a budget price, older, complete diehard fans, may want to take a chance.

To sum things up, the missions are boring, the puzzles are annoying and tedious, and the presentation is lackluster.

Six Flags Fun Park is not a terrible game, but it's not really a good game either. I'm not going to play it again, unless I really have to. Then again, I'm not a child, and I can imagine a child enjoying it more thoroughly.

It is sad that Family Guy isn't a better game. It feels rushed and not fine tuned to make it really shine.

Sure playing some TCG can be frustrating but the majority of the time it was always fun. Marvel TCG for the DS is a disappointment when it comes to showing off how fun a TCG should be. You end up with a game that is hard to see, difficult to understand and hard to play which equals to a fun factor of close to zero.

Omega Force really needs to go back to the drawing board with this franchise. There are so many things that need to be improved on with this game it is not even funny.

Generic at best, Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines is a great example of what can be done on the PSP visually, but should in no way be considered an example of great gameplay.

The forced or rushed feeling of this title just weighs too heavy on me. And with the lacking graphics and clunky gameplay, this title just fails on all levels.

Creature from the Krusty Krab will prove to be a stale patty even to hardcore SpongeBob fans.

Pet Vet: Paws & Claws is directly aimed at children and at adults. I don’t see too many teenagers in high school picking this up unless they are looking for their next fix after becoming bored with "Nintendogs."

No matter how much you loved the movie, think twice before picking up the game. Monsters vs. Aliens gets dull very quickly, and it won’t last you more than a few hours.

It has some fun in it for the young ones, but they will tire of it if they haven't already beaten it.

Guardians of Gross is nothing special.

Coraline for PS2 isn’t a terrible game — it is, however, a dull, routine, by-the-numbers movie adaptation. It’s as bland and forgettable as the movie and book are fresh and original, and it’s a real shame that some of that magic couldn’t come across in interactive form.

Mini-games aplenty, but where has all the adventuring gone? Where's the platforming action? Or the excitement? They're nowhere to be found in this game.

The biggest downside here is in the game length, and most gamers will be able to run through it probably in a matter of 1 – 2 hours.

This may be a game worth revisiting down the road, once the developers have had time to stabilize the client and address some of the design flaws. But for now, it is a pass.

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.

Completely unbalanced because of the AI problems. One minute the computer is a super solider the next minute a complete idiot.

Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer could have been way more than it was. Only get this game if you are a true die-hard fan of the Fantastic 4, otherwise go find a used copy of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance to get your superhero fix on.

If your Harry Potter fandom tells you that it’s worth spending your money to see an ugly representation of your favorite character run around an ugly representation of your favorite school doing boring things, ignore it and buy a better game. Trust me.

An interesting concept is simplified too much for its own good. For hardcore fans or beginners only.

The campaign mode is really short, the graphics are ugly, and the sound is passable. The only reason to play this game is to pad your gamer scores or if you are an extremely die-hard G.I. Joe fan.

While it’s an entertaining romp for the first hour or so, the game will tire quickly on the player. The show is much more exciting than the video game so it’s best to stick to watching CSI on your television rather than playing it on your PC.

As far as side-scrolling shooters go, Platypus for the PSP doesn’t stray from the traditional 2D shooters of yesteryear but it still manages to be forgettable experience hardly worth buying.

The finished product really let me down due to tons of problems - bad AI, sloppy controls, and slow gameplay.

It’s too flawed to enjoy, and way too frustrating to consider. Bypass this one and leave the sports to the adults for now.

Gauntlet with no multiplayer is like trying to drive a car with no tires. What the heck is up with that?

The game is lacking on the basic requirements that all games must have but it does possess the most important to it's target audience, fun.

An assortment of lackluster games with only a few shining stars. Unfortunately the shining stars are just not enough to keep this collection above water.

Old age just doesn't fit Myst as well as it does other games from the same era.

The actual gameplay experience of Ford Racing: Off Road really stands out from the rest of the score. The game doesn’t cause you to crash and burn in wrecks due to bad controls or cheap AI. Unfortunately it is hard to swallow the whole pill of Ford Racing when compared to other racing titles readily available.

Sadly, Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is a button-masher devoid of all the things we love about the show or fighting games in general.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is a decent game that players will enjoy if they are fans of the Gundam or Dynasty Warriors series, but in order to stay up with the times the entire franchise should be retooled from the graphics to the actual gameplay to stay current in this day and age.

With very little to laugh at in terms of good jokes and repetitive missions, gamers might want to skip this one altogether.

It is sad to see that a game of this caliber has not made the jump into this generation of gameplay.

The game itself really doesn’t get that exciting, even during the last few minutes of a tight game, which is uncommon for a sports title these days.

SBK Superbike World Championship offers a realistic take on the world of motorcycle racing. Unfortunately, this over-reliance on authenticity sucks the fun out of the game, leaving a product that will only appeal to the dedicated niche of superbike superfans.

Zoids Assault is a title that won’t win over too many new fans. It has low production values, the storyline is weak, the gameplay is standard and the audio isn’t anything special; all the makings of a below-average video game.

Sure, you might give the developers a hand when it comes to several “cool” concepts of slamming enemies into the wall with your car or leaping from car to car, but you’ll grow tired of the over-the-top action sooner rather than later.

A clear-cut Q&A title. Its clunky setup and substandard auditory value make it one of the less flamboyant of trivia games, and unless you’re one of those people who must own everything Friends, I see no reason why anyone would want this in their collection.

Quite possibly one of the weakest entries in the Need for Speed franchise, Undercover for the PSP is an unexciting racing game with very little to offer longtime fans of the series.

There are some unique elements to Pac Man, like the fruit shortcuts and being able to chomp other racers, but outside of that everything from track design to powerups just looks like the same recycled ideas that we’ve all seen a thousand times before.

The game just falls a little short on several levels. The commentary and player dialogue is repetitions and can become annoying and the control scheme is not that good for the platform. This would be better on a console.

Once the game gets past the simple early stages the fast-paced action can be very hard to follow. Combining the different colored bubbles never seemed to work right and I was always running into enemies when I thought I hit them with a bubble.

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.

In some respects, The Adventures of Darwin effectively mirrors "Pikmin"’s unique style. But it comes up short as a PS2 strategy game.

Well, I was hoping for something a bit more in line with the show, and while you are playing as Ben, Gwen and Kevin, the game makes sure to take most of the fun out of it.

Stay away from this game at all costs, if you see it in the store, turn and run away now!

The game had so much potential, but the execution simply never occurred.

There is very little in terms of stylus usage, some pressing and aiming but for the most part, the game could have been made more exciting if more stylus activity were implemented.

At times it’s charming, but for the most part, it was just aggravating to experience such monotony.

This game will get boring quickly because there is no depth.

Knit one, pearl two, the controls are pretty simplistic. I honestly was disappointed by the de-volving gameplay (pushing boxes), the game is not going to inspire others to do better.

With keeping it simple, Warlords isn’t a title that is hard to understand. Defend your castle and deflect the shots at your enemies will almost guarantee victory.

A snoozer. Dull combat, no innovative puzzles, no thought-provoking gameplay – nothing that a gamer of any age could possibly love. It's a disappointment and should be avoided like every other bland movie game released.
