The impressive amount of characters to play with, along with the striking character graphics and animations, gives the game a good presentational value, and the exciting boss battles and interactive levels make this an entertaining game that is worthy of at least a rental.

NBA Live 06 showed a lot of promise with its great graphics and sound, but the developers lost the ability to satisfy fans by yanking every major advancement created in the series up to this point.

The impressive amount of characters to play with, along with the striking character graphics and animations, gives the game a good presentational value, and the exciting boss battles and interactive levels make this an entertaining game that is worthy of at least a rental.

The early excitement quickly bores, add to that the relatively easy nature of the game and the repetitiveness in general and it results in the fact that Just Cause just doesn’t cut it.

It's worth a look as a rental, as you can certainly have a good time with the game over the course of a weekend, but its flaws keep it from being worthy of a purchase.

Unfortunately complex systems and a light atmosphere can’t replace the features it needs to be a solid RPG.

The game features fun and innovative boss fights and your Soul Robber weapon is nice too. Those elements are solid, but Capcom didn't perfect key aspects of the game including the terrible camera angles and repetitive fighting that causes the game to be irritating.

If you enjoy mindless destruction wrought by a bunch of maniacs driving at breakneck speeds through narrow, twisted tracks, then you may enjoy Flatout 2 as well.

Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends is an ok game, but I’m sick of the blatant milking of this cash cow.

The game features fun and innovative boss fights and your Soul Robber weapon is nice too. Those elements are solid, but Capcom didn’t perfect key aspects of the game including the terrible camera angles and repetitive fighting that causes the game to be irritating.

If you need a more engrossing storyline, though, or get easily aggravated by the “little” things that keep you from virtual victory, pass it up.

If you don’t mind a generic story, a simple battle system, and a lengthy, though at times slow, journey, then you may want to consider giving this a look.

It isn’t the next "Quake," or "Call of Duty," but UberSoldier does provide an entertaining ride while it lasts.

It does feature a nice variety of games, a solid career mode and online play, but struggles in the graphics, audio and artificial intelligence which take the title down.

Looks, feels, and plays exactly like every other Mario Party ever made. The new 8-player games, new boards, and new minigames aren't enough to differentiate it from anything else you've seen served up by the pudgy plumber and friends.

It's fun for a little while, but it’s all over way to soon to be truly enjoyable.

Simply put, SimCity doesn’t seem to work well on the DS and makes you realize that a good idea can be implemented unsuccessfully.

In Black there's beautiful graphics and incredible details, tight controls, but as a whole it's an experience you may not feel like completing even the first time through.

Just beware when shelling out the cash for it as the mileage youfll get out of it will vary.

The game is fairly entertaining, but doesn't set any new standards in the industry. It simply feels like the developers tried to make a halfway decent game that uses the Kong name to sell a higher number of copies.

If you tire of raising armies and would much rather plant a dozen wheat farms and watch those bakers go, CDV’s latest offering hits the spot.

There are just way too many issues at hand to recommend picking up this sequel until it hits the bargain bin.

Lackluster graphics, some bad gameplay mechanics, and load times that last so long that you could build and finish a sandwich before it’s done all equal a package that’s not worth it for casual basketball fans, especially with better titles out there.

If you’re expecting a revival in the franchise, then be prepared for a massive disappointment.

Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is too shallow to make it a good tycoon game, and the puzzles, in the end, feel too much like homework to actually be fun.

Racing is quite fun with its simple trick system, fast sense of speed, and the cool turbulence riding mechanics. However, the constant monitoring and replenishing of the air meter drags the game down quite a bit.

The gameplay is miserable with sloppy combat and driving controls. Add to that the fact the missions are terribly short, dull and repetitive and Gangs doesn’t provide enough interesting opportunities.

The game fails miserably in the gameplay, sound, modes, and enjoyment and for Sony to slap a $60 price tag on it is terrible.
