It's akin to Square's best work, though there aren't as many characters to latch onto and fall in love with.

You do get used to the lag and the interesting controls, but darn it if this title isn't fun. Hopefully the second in the series will tie up those lag issues.

An addictive experience for any animal and zoo lover who may or may not be accustomed to sim games. Unfortunately, experienced simmers may find the game lacking in complexity or motivation.

Keep in mind though that the sole focus of this game is on the battle elements, which, for most people, should be good news.

For you WWII strategy fans, this is a fun title (even with some issues) and will provide some good enjoyment, fun, and replayability. For fans of games like … you guessed it … "G.I. Combat," you should enjoy this title as well.

For the puzzle fanatic, Hands On: Tangrams has plenty to love, yet it’s simple enough for newcomers to pick up and play. Some innovative gameplay modes could spice things up considerably, but staying true to the original game has brought unquestionably successful results.

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.

Graphically, this is a remarkable program...The action can be very unrealistic, just in terms of physical reality, and that is a major drawback.

This game brings us all the juicy extras we all love in our wrestling games and has plenty of game modes to sink our teeth into but it still has a long way to go if it wants to be the ultimate pro wrestling title.

The controller will prove to be very frustrating and the other configuration really cheapens the game!

A solid sequel to "Feel the Magic," but the DS has been out a while, and using the system to play a variety of quirky mini games is not exactly foreign territory anymore.

For those science-fiction fans that like to create their own mods should find this to be a rewarding title. The fact that the multiplayer capability issues have yet to be resolved leaves me wondering just how long this title will be enjoyed before ending up on a shelf.

A very entertaining game that contains nothing but combat. This isn't the kind of game I'll spend a month of my time with (it's too short and repetitive for that). However, will I come back to it in a few months? You bet.

Despite these few quibbles, I’ve had more fun with this game than most of the other adventure games I’ve played lately. A good, professional job.

A good concept that had fallen victim to its several flaws in graphics and its frame rate glitches.

It's a shame to see a game that could have been spectacular turn out to be just a little bit above average.

Varied and interesting gameplay forms give players a chance to really get into the role. Less than tight controls mar an otherwise excellent game experience.

Even those smile-inducing, polished-to-a-shine graphics and enjoyable multiplayer modes do little to alleviate the ennui Roogoo Attack! inevitably conjures.

Pipe-laying, Flooze-passing gameplay in its weirdest and most addictive form. Expect cloudy skies and storms of frustrations, but if you like unique puzzle games it's worth a try.

Solid game but the lack of a competition keeps the excitement factor pretty low.

Those expecting a highly addictive party game in the same vein as Nintendo’s "Super Smash Brothers" will find nothing but disappointment, but all is not entirely bad.

As far as children's titles go, this one is absolutely terrific. It takes all of the fighting games like SoulCalibur and Mortal Kombat and puts them into a witty, harmless game that you don't feel so bad about letting them play.

The $30 price tag isn’t too bad for gamers craving the latest in motion control. But without a real campaign to jump into, We Ski feels like a collection of random, unrewarding races and mini-games.

Operation Anchorage has no shortage of action, but the experience is awfully short-lived.

Beatmania is a great rhythm game, but it’s not intended for a wide audience. I don’t think too many gamers will have the patience to get better and enjoy the harder songs.

Controls are rather stiff and PC-like, giving you less maneuverability than desired.

An average arcade shooter. However, the game is not at all exciting enough to grab most gamers’ attention for any long period.

An interesting mix of RTS, turn-based and straight strategic gameplay and varied mission designs. However, the turn-based/RTS system may seem a bit convoluted for some gamers who expect a more simplistic action-oriented approach to squad-based strategy.
