    This game will have limited appeal, and only those who are fanatics of King of Fighters are likely to pick up this game.

    With graphics that are muddy and sound that will make your eyes cross, this title has to lean heavily on the merits of the mechanics. Thankfully it is able to deliver the goods and the gameplay is fast, challenging, and fun.

    It isn't quite as good as the "Smackdown" series on PS2, but in this generation of wrestling games not much is.

    No matter how you slice it, it's a sub-standard driving game in the vein of the "Twisted Metal" series without the sense of humor or fun that was found in it.

    Unfortunately, no matter how “hip” the culture is for the background story, without a good game, it falls flat. Take a ride, and let this game die a quick death.

    It just seemed that the game conspired to suck all the fun out of it.

    If you like Redneck jokes and the idea of taking short trips in a big rig, you might get a kick out of this game.

    We should be glad they included both in this release and not separated them as Metal Slug 4 is the far lesser of the games presented here.

    The run and gun gameplay and unique storyline delivers, even if only for a short while.

    If you are a fan of the series then you absolutely have to play this. If you are a loot junkie, like I am, then you have to get this game, but if you are a hardcore RPGer looking for a challenge, you will be disappointed.

    EyeToy Play 2 plays a lot like a flash game as it is fast and furious but ultimately not built to last. To combat that, Sony has provided us with an incredible catalog of unique minigames packed on this one DVD.

    This is still a great game and it is the only licensed NFL game out there whether you like it or not.

    This game is not very easy, but with the ability to choose where you're going and how you're going to finish the mission you may be able to find an easier way out of a situation than you were able to in the previous game.

    A ridiculous amount of fun... for a while. I truly love the game and have had an absolute blast while playing, but parts of it will eventually wear on you. There are very few unique environments and combat animations, and the dancing mini-game and other elements will eventually test your patience.

    I cannot stress strongly enough just how much fun and how addicting this game is.

    The biggest complaint is that some of the English voices are really lacking, especially comparing them to how the Japanese voice actors sound doing the same (or similar) lines, and the entire jumping mess. Outside of that, this is a very solid title, and quite possibly a contender for 2005 RPG of the year.

    This is a very well crafted game, and aside from the sound issues, fits perfectly into the GBA's hardware. Atlus did us all a favor by taking a chance on this and bringing it to North American shores. I can think of only one thing I want to do after playing through it and seeing one of the endings.

    Its easy to pick up and control and the bosses are varied and challenging.

    While the action is fast and frantic at first, it quickly becomes a bit too repetitive for its own good. With the camera issues and too much of the game played solo, Fantastic Four is a solid effort, but it comes short in the execution.

    This is one of the best platformers around and easily stands up to the best that Sony puts out every year. I’d love to see a sequel.

    With all of the options out there now, however, it really is a matter of too little, too late.
    • 59 Metascore

    The action-based battles are not well thought out and are almost rudimentary compared to other superior action-based RPG games like "Kingdom Hearts," a game that came out almost 3 years ago.

    If the controls were more solid and the graphics a bit better, then Juiced would be a winner. Instead, Juiced gets left behind in the dust.

    I don’t enjoy the gameplay enhancements that Rockstar put on the game where it becomes more of an RPG with doing the upkeep on C.J. I also don’t enjoy the subject matter much with all the racial epitaphs flying around.

    While the game might be a bit simple for some, veteran gamers will still enjoy the deep story contained within Still Life.

    The graphics engine never really received enough attention to smooth it out, nor did the sound system. The control system is ambitious and unique but just doesn't pan out either.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    I am disappointed that this version got so poorly ported over from the PS2 version, and it should at the very least recommend the use of a game controller on the box, but ultimately it was a fun children's game that my son very easily picked up and enjoyed.

    I'm sold on Madagascar, this game is a blast and shouldn't disappoint the younger audience.

    The length of the gameplay and the replyability makes for an enjoyable game once you get past the sometimes frustrating difficulty and the slightly awkward controls.
    • 71 Metascore

    The major problem with that idea is that later in the game the platforming and strategy elements can become quite difficult and children may feel it is out of their grasp.
