Not the best superhero game every created, Hero X still has its own charm. The action is well done, and the game has bright, lush graphics and a large gaming world. Stability problems are its bane.

Despite the intriguing strategy segments, its repetitive battles and very limited game modes might not win over any new fans.

An immensely repetitive shooter with the flavor of "Devil May Cry," "Dino Crisis," and "Parasite Eve II" baked right in. The finished dish isn’t as delish as the menu indicated, but it isn’t entirely bland.

Almost every level is similar: what begins as fun, ends up maddening, because of constant dying and restarting over due to problems of overly sensitive obstacles, control issues in jumping from platform to platform, too much blind jumping, and in one particular level, really bad "touch" detection.

This is clearly not the best-looking fight program for this console, but it is very challenging and entertaining.

The steep difficulty, erratic AI and overall lack of balance in the gameplay ultimately flaw the experience.

The game’s presentation feels a bit dated compared to games like "Tony Hawk 4" or even "Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2."

A gem and a sour apple simultaneously. It tries to do so much, but it just doesn’t respectively deliver what it promised.

Yes it has good and tight control, but acceleration and speed can be a real chore with some vehicles.

A note to aspiring developers: DO NOT give players the freedom to do what they want if you’re going to punish them for it later!

If you have played Storm, and don’t mind the slightly dated stylings of this game, you should still find yourself entertained.

The scope of the game, the heart-pumping music (when it worked) and the idea of a seriously tough guy taking matters into his own hand to save his child was such an affecting idea that the end game made me that much more disappointed.

New Zealand Story Revolution makes no concessions to the 20 years that have passed since the original hit arcades. It’s tough as nails, but the game’s fan base wouldn’t have it any other way.

It's an average title that could have been a bit better with a multiplayer option and longer storyline, still, any fan of the show will probably enjoy it once they have gotten over the fact that Aang can't leap around and kick butt like he does on the cartoon.

The last half of this game is far superior to the first.

Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots has some great moments, but it isn’t nearly as mainstream as the Nicktoons that are represented in the game. Save this one for a weekend rental.

The action begins to feel repetitive far sooner than the non-stop carnage suggests it should. [May 2008, p.72]

Kids (young kids) will like this game except for the frustration. The vehicle controls aren't very accurate, causing a lot of unnecessary screw ups during that part of the game. Other than that it's a piewalk.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is worth renting if you're a diehard fan of the show (assuming you can find it. Few rentailers offer DS games). But you're better off with the GBA version – a game that spends more time on action and puzzles, and less time trying to re-tell a story the fans are already familiar with.

NBA 2K10 is disappointing, to say the least.

Only a select few will be hooked for more than a few seasons. John Deere Harvest in the Heartland is extremely addictive but also extremely frustrating – not because the game is challenging or cheap, but because of the inexcusable issues that prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Bounty Hounds has all the right moves and a good story to boot but fails to rise above the hardware’s limitations or its repetitive combat.

The game pursues a linear path that may not appeal to veterans of the genre. Younger players may enjoy the look and simplistic feel of the game though.

Cool team moves and simple puzzle solutions are the primary sources of Atlantis Squarepantis' entertainment value. The mini games don't provide much fun, but they are easy and do not take long to complete.

The gameplay is okay, but isn't engrossing. The RTS mode is the more fun and involved of the two, but there are better strategy games out there. Ditto on the RPG mode.

Perfect for the younger set.

If it weren't for random crashes and long start ups, the game would have been much more enjoyable.

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