    The somewhat disappointing textures, lack of any graphical or audio "wow" factor, poor battlefield ambiance, a boring tutorial, and a short overall game all take away from its glory.

    The level cap has increased allowing for more spells, talents, and power for individuals with the insanity to chase them. This is a whole new world.

    With excellent writing and clever puzzles, this quirky little story adventure alternates between logical deduction and unexpected discoveries.

    The graphics and sound are adequate, but the gameplay matters most. That being said, having two screens on the Nintendo DS gives you a better view of the playing field.

    Try the demo, and if you like it, support them because I think they tried but just didn’t quite execute. Football fans can empathize with that.

    There are several good ideas in Lethal Alliances; it's just a shame they get buried under poor gameplay design choices.

    At Forty dollars this compilation is worth every penny for seven arcade perfect translations.

    The graphics were amazing, the gameplay was fun and adrenaline filled, and the cover system was implemented successfully.

    Unless you are desperately craving something new for your brand new shiny PS3, you’ll probably want to hold off.

    That was my favorite aspect of the game. It’s very pretty, and it sounds pretty good as long as you turn the volume way up so as not to hear the rest of the vehicle coming apart around you.

    Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin tosses out the clunky touchscreen functions of the previous title and replaces it with a new dual-hero gameplay element. In the end, the game is a worthy addition to the Castlevania lineage, if only the game lasted a little longer.

    This title is amazing to look at, and the graphical candy will hold you for a while. My suggestion would be to just turn off the sound if you intend to show the game off, and then take your boxing gloves online.

    There are plenty of options to play the game how you want to, and the objectives give a nice variety.

    If you're looking for a fun game that you can play with the kids, or as a group, this is a solid purchase and does its job quite well.

    Sadly another attempt to cash into the name of a popular movie franchise with cute animal characters.

    If the value of the game didn’t suffer enough from the lifeless gameplay, the painful dialog and storyline, and the cumbersome controls, the game also suffers from some fairly significant bugs.

    The game is huge and you may not even get to the first dungeon for hours.

    It plays smooth and fast, and like a bright flame it burns out earlier than it should.

    The most realistic skate title ever made. The graphics, animation, sound, and revamped challenge system has created a game that will challenge the legendary "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2" for its crown as the king of the series.

    • 82 Critic Score
    A pretty decent title, if not visually off-putting.
    • 59 Metascore

    The flaws of the game really stand out to make this feel like a lifeless and incomplete experience.

    I'm going to put this fairly simple: this game is really boring.

    With better focus on what players want, including four (useful!) costumes per character, a plethora of villians and heroes from Marvel lore, better visuals, tighter RPG elements, less of the Chatty-Cathy moments, and FAR more tough boss and mini-boss battles, Marvel Ultimate Alliance could be the geekfest that keeps players wrapped onto whatever platform they chose like a pair of tight blue spandex with a big 4 on the chest.

    I actually found myself enjoying it a lot more than other Madden games in the past.

    A pretty good game, even if the time and place are a bit overdrawn.

    With a great control scheme, graphics that don’t look ported, fantastic humor, and a whole lot of races to complete, this quality title is worthy of being a member of the Tony Hawk franchise. This is a safe Day-1 pickup for the Wii, just make sure you buy the three spare Wiimotes for your friends!

    The single player is robust and action packed, while the multiplayer tends to be a bit more tactical.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    There are plenty of ways to play the game, as well as a storyline that does take a few interesting twists and turns.
    • 80 Metascore

    It takes some time to get used to the play style and the controls, so you might want to consider other options before going straight in.

    The lack of any extra modes could be forgiven if the main story wasn't so short. You can easily finish this title in a weekend play through.
