Plenty of gamers are certain to find a lot of enjoyment in the game, but fans of more compelling shoot 'em ups will only be able to squeeze a minimal amount of worthwhile gameplay out of it.

The graphics are uninspiring, the sounds are weak and worst of all-- the controls make it a CHORE to play.

Even with the few good changes and the inclusion of the ECW stable, the awful controls, murky graphics and a rushed 24/7 Mode just hold this game back from being a franchise favorite among fans.

A great rental, but not such a fantastic purchase. It doesn’t have a lot of replay value, and is incredibly simple (I mention that for the billionth time).

This game is too linear. You can’t stray off the patch and the fixed camera teases with a look at a delightfully rendered world, then locks you from at least seeing it from a panoramic perspective.

The graphics are better suited to a PlayStation or hand-held system, and the audio track is not up to snuff, considering what can be accomplished with this system.

Prince of Persia: The Fallen King is a game that just sort of falls into no man’s land. It’s not bad, and it’s not particularly good. While there are a lot of good ideas, the execution isn’t polished enough to realize that potential.

Capcom’s attempt at bringing a strict motorbike racing simulator is a good try but it just doesn’t come together smoothly in all the right places where it counts the most.

There are instances where the game is genuinely fun, and some of the boss battles are nicely challenging but its weak spots are too numerous to ignore. You can go ahead and skip this one.

Unless you really love Dynasty Warriors or have never played the series before, you’re going to be disappointed and probably bored.

Zany and often hilariously fun, Black & Bruised comes in strong and looses its steam way before the final round.

The script for the game is very well written and the voice acting is superb. However, the rest of the game ranges from average to downright boring.

This game just misses the mark of its target audience, due to the frustrating moments caused by the too sensitive controls and other logistic problems.

Dora the Explorer Saves the Mermaids is an average game. It’s not a bad game, but neither is it very good. The mini-games are not engaging for the most part except for a few, and the whole structure is choppy. "Go Diego Go" is designed in a similar manner by the same design company, but for whatever reason, is much more fun.

As a fan of the franchise, I have no doubt that 2K Sports will get this series right in the portable format but this year’s game isn’t it. Hopefully next year’s game will hit it out of the park.

Differentiating between Penny and Bolt in terms of gameplay and control, the game has enough entertainment value to provide children.

The ability to play as some of DC’s characters from the hit cartoon show on Cartoon Network was nifty, but the AI issues and repetitive action scenes tend to get a little boring after a while.

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.

While there are many aspects of this game that are interesting, there are also many times when the gameplay is boring and lackluster. The story as a whole just doesn’t appeal or resonate, and the writing is bad.

Addictive and compelling are not words that would be used to describe the gameplay.

Sadly enough, the game has all the right elements but it’s too hard to ignore flaws do a great job of overshadowing the good stuff. This is not a bad game, just a poorly designed one.

While the controls can seem a bit touchy at times, the actual racing animations feel stiff and not as fluid as they should be. Sure, these are big bikes and metal doesn’t bend that well, but there were times when it just felt as though the game was on a rail. That said, for those who like racing games and motorcycles, MotoGP 09/10 has a robust racing package that should sate appetites.

Using the fun Star Wars: Battlefront style, Conquest has all the right elements but they’re not implemented as smoothly or as it should have been on the Xbox 360. The controls make for some frustrating button-mashing battles even with some fun match types or the various heroes you can use on the many battlefields.

It conjures up memories of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas, Army of Two, and the Call of Duty series, which makes me wonder why I'm not playing any of them instead. Blacklight: Tango Down is nicely priced, but when you already have tickets to see the real thing, why bother with the cover band?

Not quite what I was hoping for.

A nice enough diversion, but there's not enough challenge to hold anyone's interest for a long stretch of time. If it had been more of a simulation, like Zoo Tycoon in a tank, then there would be much more to do, but as it is, this game is more of a time-killer than anything else.

For what it’s worth, Tetris Evolution delivers all the juicy Tetris action but falls short in terms of the controls that make this a game that would have been more appropriate as an Xbox Live download.
