    Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is ridiculously easy and can be finished off by a determined family in a few hours.

    If this game interests you at all, let me make a recommendation – buy Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 instead.

    If you're looking for a deep franchise mode, stellar graphics, minor league affiliates, pinpoint pitching and stats galore, look away. But if you're in the market for a fun baseball game that anyone can pick up and enjoy, then you can't go wrong with MLB SlugFest 2006.

    Battle of the Bands is a one-hit Wii wonder because is cleverly takes 30 well-known songs and remixes them in five different styles and does little else.

    APB is clever but inconsistent, though Realtime Worlds has proven to be a developer to watch. This game shows that they understood the lay of the land back in 2005, when APB was initially conceived.

    I love Midway and I love the wild, crazy antics of the Rush series. But the way to stand out in the popular new genre of street racing is not to make a poor man's version of The Fast and the Furious.

    I don't think it's the idea that you put a swordsman against an army of outlaws in the Old Western period that doesn't work well for Samurai Western. Rather, it seems to be the presentation of it.

    Tries to place its players into a real-life war when the experience is less about the true occurrences of the way the war was and more about a game that, even as a game, ShellShock isn't that terribly amazing.

    The new missions are nice but the lack of major gameplay changes or new PCs is a drag.

    Far more action than RPG, and along with a ridiculously linear path and almost no variety in gameplay, even lacking a decent story and highly dumbed-down mechanics, there's not a whole lot to recommend here unless you really, really love the genre and don't mind playing something that doesn't require as much micromanagement while waiting for some legitimate entries on PS3.

    Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is so last decade!

    It’s an excellent diversion when you just want to play something simple and fun with your friends for an hour or two.

    I’d say overall Wii Play is worth it, if only for the extra controller. I now have three. If you know an easy way to get another nunchuck I’d love to know.

    Appropriately, during the ending credits John Lee Hooker sings, "Lord have mercy, don't let me go to Vietnam." Gee, I guess he must have played this game too.

    I’ll say it again, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is for the fans and even they may find this game unappealing.

    Raging Blast 2 is pure fan service, a toy box that lets kids reenact fights between their favorite Dragon Ball characters. If this is what you want, great, because it's all you're getting.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's yet another generic, short, and easy to complete licensed title for a handheld that is already littered with the like.

    NBA
    If you need a hoops sim and can't stand NBA Street, or want something to play online and show off how cool Wi-Fi can be, this is your only choice, and that might be good enough as long as the problems with the game can be forgiven with time.

    At 800 gamer points ($10.00) the game is way overpriced for its few fleeting moments of fun.

    This series shows promise, but currently lacks what it takes to be in the next echelon of its genre.

    2D fighting games are struggling to stay alive in an ever-growing industry, and developers need to really pull out all the stops to wow us. Unfortunately, Chaos feels too much like the same old thing.

    By allowing players to employ the motion-sensing controller in a bevy of unique ways, the title has a lot in common with "Wii Sports." Unfortunately many modes feel either underdeveloped, ho-hum, or both--also like "Wii Sports."

    Its existence is puzzling, its release an admittance of surrender, and its song selection showcases one singer while snubbing another... yet because Guitar Hero remains fun, Guitar Hero: Van Halen comes away as a decent diversion.

    • 59 Critic Score
    A subpar game of footie that really isn't worth worrying about. The PSP version is pretty good...this one is not.

    Nothing but a crummy RPG. There's no other way to look at it.

    Overall, it’s a decent effort but the repetitious gameplay makes it little more than a rental.

    While Touch the Dead is fun for a short while, it quickly becomes frustrating due to the cumbersome reloading controls and the designer’s cheap attempts to make the game more difficult.

    Tenchu Z is sadly a low point for the series and for stealth games in general. It’s not that it’s a horrible game; it’s just boringly repetitive and not very challenging.
    • 56 Metascore

    In the ranks of Xbox wrestling games, let alone all-time wrestling games, this one ranks quite low, mainly because of its poor execution and obvious lack of polish.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It’s twice as beautiful as the PS2 version and twice as long with twice as many characters, too. Sadly, its near-perfect presentation tanks because of awful camera angles and poor controller mechanics, both choppy and unsuitable for an action game like this.
