    Unless you’ve got an urgent need to launder $60, there’s not a single reason to go out and buy FIFA 06 for the Xbox 360. Go out and by the far superior (and cheaper) FIFA 06 for the PS2 or Xbox – both versions are excellent.

    If you're looking for a fun shooter, and all you've got is a GameCube, this game would be worth picking up on the cheap, but if you can play it on any other system, then by all means do so.

    Personally, I’m not entertained by its gameplay because it takes little to no focus or attention to play through it. But where’s the fun in that?
    • 51 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The game fails where it counts with bad mini-games, terrible instructions, slow controls and a pretty worthless multiplayer option.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    It’s an average action/adventure game for the Neopets fan; everyone else is strongly discouraged from playing.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    It’s just another WWII-era first-person shooter.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    If it weren't for the enjoyment you get from playing with the people you've gathered around you or hopping online to meet up with other Live users, this would be a game that I'd recommend you stay far away from considering its repetitive mindless gameplay and rather lackluster presentation.

    Silent Hill 4 may look pretty on the surface, but after an hour or so you'll have found out that like most pretty things, what's beneath can be pretty disappointing.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Riddled with errors, glitches, catches, freezes, clippings, and resets. If you can endure the insane amount of problems and don't mind that you'll routinely run into errors that'll force you to restart from the beginning of the current primary mission, you'll get some marginal enjoyment out of the title.

    The Da Vinci Code does keep intact a solid storyline of conspiracy and corruption, but the actual playable aspects of the game are pretty dull. You primarily find yourself sneaking around, fighting enemies and solving puzzles, but none of these aspects are done especially well. Overall there should be no question for gamers that The Da Vinci Code is one mystery that should be left unsolved.

    Only if you’re a fan of the classic blue oval should you even consider plopping down cash for this budget title – emphasis on budget.

    There is a nice variety of combat amongst Wolverine, Iceman and Nightcrawler and the voice acting by their movie counterparts is solid. Beyond that though, X-Men is disappointing in just about every other regard. The graphics are dull and lifeless, the enemies are predictable and the gameplay is brain-damagingly repetitive.

    Nothing but a mediocre button masher with weak combos, boring platform gameplay, frustrating mechanics, and minigames you’ll only enjoy if you’re evil enough to force a friend to play along.

    I hate to say, but I really can't see anyone actually wanting to spend money to play this.

    Everything about this game is top notch, except for the game itself which is altogether terrible.

    For gamers who aren't particularly picky or demanding, there's still fun to be had and progression to be enjoyed in Spellforce 2.

    Everything about this game is top notch, except for the game itself which is altogether terrible.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    From the unbelievably dense traffic with the inescapable crash sequences, to the poser-fest plot and the explosion of brand placement, this game is a definite multiple-offender.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    What we’ve got here is a fair game that I wouldn’t recommend to anyone except for a mindless, young teenager that likes shooting games and puppies.

    Crusty Demons should be left collecting dust in a bargain bin near you.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    The gameplay is horribly repetitive relying on two buttons the entire game. Add to that the dull story, terrible enemy A.I. and the lack of a multiplayer component and N3 grows tiresome within minutes.

    It’s a CD that adds about 20 endangered animals to your existing game of Zoo Tycoon 2, and that’s about it.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    An uninspiring platformer with unintuitive controls, bland gameplay, repetitive environments, and a missed target audience – kids aren’t going to have neither the skill nor the patience to play this game, if they even have the desire to.

    This game would be most ideal for children so young that they don't play games for their quality but for their content.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Tedious and boring with very few games and they quickly get repetitive. Some of them hardly even utilize the camera.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    It’s a boring, repetitive, dull hack n’ slash game with bland visuals, unbalanced gameplay, and useless ninja scrolls.

    Despite the fact that Konami’s series has a static playlist, you’re better off buying another version of DDR than dealing with this piece of crap called Dance Factory. Or better yet, just pop in a CD and groove your own way.

    Because those I-Ball controls are unresponsive and some certain broken mechanics like the anklebreaker meter, and a boring story mode, what And1 fans were given is a complete stinker.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Despite a decent online offering, it’s not enough to save one sorry game. Avoid this game like the plague.
    • 51 Metascore

    There's no reason to bother playing this game, period. It's cute, it's got an equally as cute presentation, and it's got five minigames that will quickly bore you, and nothing more.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    This is an extremely poor copy of Nintendogs. The visuals are nice, the music is easily ignored, and there is some worthwhile puppy variety (18 breeds isn't bad), but its boring gameplay is repetitive to the point where you just want to die.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 37 Critic Score
    A train wreck.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    I have no idea how Konami expects to sell more than six copies of this game. The members of D12 might buy it to put it in some self-idolizing shrine, but nobody else should go anywhere near it.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    The problem though is the framerate, graphics, and controls are miserable and certainly don’t show off any of the PlayStation 3’s capabilities.
