It's not hard, and it's not very long, but the tiresome gameplay makes it hard to tell at times.

While keyboard controls were decent, playing with a gamepad was unbearable in race modes. There are four different arenas to race or crash in, and some neat ideas like massacre and arena, but overall the repetitive gameplay and annoying collision detection quickly got dull.

The camera is a pain, but if you can't deal with some awkward angles, then obviously you haven't finished too many games. Let's face it: good camera systems are rare. Deal with it. Or miss out on a fun game.

I spent a LOT of time just listening to Barney on the sidewalk! I still can't believe he gave up drinking! If you need a fun escape from shooters and uniformed sports action, give this a try.

There are an amazing amount of vehicles to man.

It offers none of the qualities of a Disney game, and will disappointingly give the player - young or old - nothing but grief.

More mini-games and puzzles would have helped give it more depth, but there is an adequate amount of challenge and variety to keep most kids happy.

Drome Racers does little to encourage the player to return.

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.

You want a superb soundtrack - you got it. You want a good-looking, stunt-driving, high-flying motocross outing - you got that too.

If you're into fighting controls, jittery players and hard to decipher plays, you will love how this one feels. I like to be more in control and know what is going on, so I have to say the play is lacking.

With so many futuristic racers out there, it's hard to welcome one with open arms that doesn't go above and beyond the rest. XGRA is a really good, entertaining game, but it's a standard sequel.

A really fun hack-n-slash RPG, with lots of items to collect and stats to earn. However, it would have benefited from side quests and character interaction.

Sure the story is extremely weak and the boss battles prove to be more of an annoying distraction rather than a challenge, but it is, overall, the best conversion of a brilliant N64 game on the GBA.

A typical side-scrolling game with platforms you have to jump up on and objects to obtain to test your ability to jump and dodge.

Bar none, one of the most satisfying ice hockey titles to grace the PS2 console so far. It really does come close to perfection in everyway and that is saying a lot considering the fact that last year’s "NHL 2K3" was at the top of its game.

A truly entertaining and addictive gruesome action game and a perfect sequel to the original.

The addition of the FPS style of play, RPG style leveling up, and the RTS style for the commander was probably one of the neatest things I’ve seen done in this kind of game, and adds a unique and fun element in along with the ability for the commander to actually give orders and grant requests for promotions or gold loans.

This game has decent graphics with fast paced action arcade gameplay that offers a bit of flash and some cool stunt work, but it gets monotonous and runs thin in story and character depth.

The added AI intelligence helps out a lot though, and made it a little more enjoyable ... and more challenging at the same time.

The combat isn't deep, the level design's not fantastic, and the AI's a bit dumb. But BloodRayne has one big thing going for it: it's fun!

Sammy Studios and Asmick Ace have done a remarkable job in creating a fast-paced aerial combat game that is easy to jump into and play, and looks amazing to boot.

Average/below average across the board, with no real elements to keep gamers interested after a few levels.

The complete package - awesome graphics, stellar control, and meticulous realism.

The style Vanessa adds with her dance moves is one of the biggest draws, but poor controls and overpowered enemies bog this title down. Maybe the enemies seem harder because the controls are bad, but something needs fixing.

Those who can embrace the technology aspects, can invest the time to immerse themselves in the jargon and lore will find an evolving game with depth and challenge. Throw in incredible environments, an amazing soundtrack and you have a winner.

The dungeons are great and popular, but there are some lag issues here that need to be corrected.

It not only brings the fun of Final Fantasy Tactics to the GBA, complete with the 40 or so gameplay hours, but manages to improve on the original in many aspects as well in the process.
