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.

You could do worse than to find a game that presents a set of challenges like this one. Each game is different and if you don't have the means to play the real game with your family and friends then the A.I. is always there, lurking, mocking if you will.

A nice start for SpongeBob’s first foray into the party genre. He fits perfectly in this genre and I hope his second outing only improves on what was established here.

Its camera system and length certainly hold it back from getting a better score, but the gameplay itself is a lot of fun.

As a stand alone game could have benefited from just a bit of extra tweaking in the controls and graphics department, but as a companion game to the movie, it does satisfy the non-novice gamer.

The improved graphics, intense action and the Guy Richie-style crime story is what makes this game worth getting your hands behind its wheels.

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.

A good family title as there is no violence and the cars never blow up or cause the driver any harm. Perfect for the young hot wheel lover on your holiday list.

Where Jack fails to succeed is an issue that will never be fully resolved in gaming: repetition. Samurai Jack is the same thing over and over. It never changes, never evolves.

The Force Unleashed II is, more than anything, disappointing.

Dark Void can be summed up in just six words: so much potential, so much disappointment.

Dances between likeable and overwhelmingly dull.

Comes close to achieving the goal of combining a great offline quest with a great online experience. The most obvious missing piece: a compelling story. Second would be a full-fledged quest (your journey is mission-based, therefore eliminating some of the freedom that comes with an RPG). Third, End of Darkness can be repetitive at times.

Spectral Force 3 is a throwback to older days from the genre, but feels a bit too antiquated and uninteresting to be recommendable.

While kids will enjoy playing the first few times, there's not enough here to hold their interest for very long. If parents don't already have Piglet's Big Game, they may want to look at that instead.

SBK really works hard on being the realistic superbike racer people would love to see, but too many gameplay and other flaws hold it back from reaching its true potential.

Kong for the GBA isn't as "King" as it should be. Instead we're treated to a 16-bit era inspired action adventure game that is based on a classic movie.

The single-player game is not that deep or compelling and the network portion is repetitive without a lot of variation in either missions or environments.

Frantix is light on concept, lush on eye candy, but overall a simple game that will not have you playing until the wee hours but may have you picking it up when you have 10 minutes to spare.

Give the dev team props for the look of the game, but detract points from the score for the repetition and lack of substantial game elements, like puzzles and story.

Not an overly complex program. It is fast-paced, and action packed. The game does have a few setbacks, but overall is a solid combat sim.

Although the game’s controls can seem a bit complex and sometimes even a tad frustrating, gamers will have a good time learning as they play.

Perhaps not the most complete basketball title, but definitely a contender.

The carnage does fly in this game, only the problem is that it’s all done unrealistically. You won’t believe how easy it is to blow an enemy’s limb off or blow a head clean off even with something as simple as a .44 pistol. And seconds after you kill somebody, the body melts away to nothing.

Because of its short gameplay, it is the consummate rental – a game that is easy to pick up and play and can be beaten in a few days. The life of a samurai warrior is simple, and so is this game.

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.

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.

Due to the slower paced action, I would recommend this to people like me who were big fans of WWF Warzone back in the day, and don’t care as much for the faster, arcade style gameplay from Jakks Pacific.
