    The framerate, bugs, and dopey AI put a damp cloth on the whole affair, but the graphics, outstanding storyline, and voice work all but make up for it.

    While the story is a bit cliché, the setting is much better than your typical fantasy or sci-fi fare. It’s unfortunate that the combat gets bland quickly and camera issues abound.

    Really disappointing. It's short, repetitive, and just not a lot of fun.

    If you don't care as much about getting really into the dancing however, the basic pad is just fine.

    I've been following the Smackdown series ever since the original game back on the Playstation, and the one thing I've noticed is that the randomness has gotten less with each successive game.

    I can’t overstate the power of the game engine behind The Movies. The possibilities are almost endless given that this game is mod friendly. Once fans get their hands on this game, we will get to see some incredible movies.

    If you want to have a shooter on the go, SOCOM is one of the few games to make a compelling portable shooter experience.

    Gun
    It's too bad that Gun is so short because I could have easily devoted more time to playing such a refreshing title.

    The minigames in this feel somewhat wasted and limited, but the party modes themselves can be a lot of fun, adding some definite multiplayer mayhem to the title.

    Gun
    Once you get past some of the technical issues, the game pulls you into the storyline and doesn't let go until you've finished the game.

    Gun
    This is a great game, with a mature storyline and wonderful controls. I did not want this game to end when it did, though the story comes to a very well done close.

    The graphics are unsurpassed and absolutely stunning. Sound and music quality are professional grade.

    This game is cranked to a volume of 11.

    Sony took a year off from the NBA scene. Unfortunately, it seems like they could have used another year with NBA 06.

    This review isn't a knock on the game itself, but rather the PC port. Message to devs and publishers; "If you are going to port something to PC don't make it half-arsed because it can put a negative spin on the whole entire product line!"

    If only someone would take the time to craft a truly epic scale video game set in this universe.

    So much fun and so well made that it completely obliterates the insultingly awful "Call of Duty: Finest Hour." This is the game that war gamers have wanted on a console, and it delivers the thrills and entertainment in ways I did not think possible.

    You are never lost as to where to go throughout each level, so seasoned veterans of first-person shooters might find the game a bit easy, but they would be missing a great time if they passed this over.

    The levels were incredibly balanced and elicited feelings of imminent danger as you are often starting very close to your enemy’s location.

    The cutscenes were an enjoyable interlude between bouts of carnage, but the looping quips eventually got under my skin.

    The DS version of this game just missed the boat on so many features that the hardware could have made use of.

    Simply put, the game blew me away in the first mission. It's not perfect, no game is, but for all of the minor problems the game's got, it's still a hell of a lot of fun.

    Gameplay is horrible.

    On one hand there is a fantastic immersive horror title that captures the environment perfectly. On the other hand, you have a game that is filled with bugs and leads you with both hands tied through the whole game.

    A bit of a paradox. While the graphics are poor, the sound is much more developed. The controls are great for while on foot, but vehicles take some adjustment.

    The mixture of zany antics and storyline coupled with an outrageous cast of characters makes Serious Sam 2 a must play for FPS fans.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A poor manual, combined with a small move list for each character really puts this game at the rental level. They did manage to capture the series quite well in the game, but they did so at the expense of gameplay.

    A phenomenally awesome RTS, and stays true to all the games before it.

    Jak X would have been even better if it supported four-player split-screen with the multitap.
