    A solid game, but the sluggish gameplay holds it back considerably.

    What it does well (firing from cover, recoil, aiming) is destroyed by its short length, average graphics, bad storyline and easy difficulty.

    I liked this game for maybe an hour. Then the game started to become repetitive and boring. There were some good reminiscent parts and some really drab parts.

    Power and Magic, along with Microsoft, have captured what was great about "Virtua Tennis" and brought it up to a higher degree of greatness. You can't go wrong with this game unless you totally despise tennis games.

    A pretty slick twitch game overall. Multiplayer is fun, slaughtering demons is a great way to unwind from a rough day at the office, and the atmosphere and effects are well done.

    It is not as razzle or dazzle as "SSX 3," but it brings a more realistic snowboarding feel to the table. You can even go online with 7 other people and help each other or compete against each other.

    What could have easily been a stroll down memory lane instead turns into a frustrating disaster. The addition of a mid-mission save would have probably edged this game towards sanity, but the lack of it hampers the gameplay to the point where it simply isn't fun.

    This is a no-brainer for Tony Hawk series fan, much like the new versions of "Madden" are a no-brainer for me. Little things are fixed, but no re-invention ever seems to come.

    Probably the best wrestling game to come out since "No Mercy" on the N64. Yukes seems to have finally combined what was great in the AKI games on N64 and what was great in the Smackdown games.

    The lack of innovation and depth of this game, as well as the password system, really ruin the game.

    The score is brought down a bit because of the timed nature of many missions. The car-based missions are especially tough because of the loose controls and the small amount of time you have to complete your mission.

    All in all a fun, if brief, addition to the X-Revolution series, and well worth the price.

    This game has something that very few games manage to capture; it is just pure fun. Balancing the challenge of the game with a good mix of enemies, bosses, and storyline, it simply works.

    I really wish the designers had done something far more creative with the characters. There is a rich universe here to play with, but they took the easiest road out it seems instead of trying something different.

    If you even remotely liked the first two, then this title, which only adds more quality to the series, is a must have. The Time Crisis series upholds its throne as the light-gun shooter king, though anyone who is looking for more in a game will not find it all here.

    The graphics are better than you can see in the screenshots in this review and simply are jaw-dropping in motion...A title destined for greatness.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A fun game (at least for a while). Its downfall is that even if the average gamer can get past the controls, they're going to get turned off before finishing the game due to its repetitive gameplay.

    After the overwhelming success of "SSX Tricky", SSX 3 had monstrous expectations to meet... not only does it meet them, it slams them head on like a Mack truck into a flea.

    A good game with high production value, but it is just too repetitive and boring as you go through wave upon wave of the same enemies using the same punches and kicks every time.

    It may be too kiddie for some, but it’s a solid platformer with a great looking world and really inventive puzzles, and above all else it’s a lot of fun. Plus, the voice acting is stellar and I’ve been busting a gut at some of the lines.

    This is a long game, trial and error or not. The problem is you may become so frustrated that you have to play this game in spurts or destroy your controller. I'm glad they made this game more difficult, but it borders on the maddening.

    Fun fluff- here one minute, gone the next, but there was some fun had along the way. Some very cool puzzles are worth playing the game for, but this is not one I would voluntarily own.

    One of those games that keeps you coming back to finish it despite it’s simplistic gameplay, due mostly to clever puzzle design. It uses a simple formula that provides straightforward action and adventure elements in a spooky, but kid-friendly setting.

    Average graphics and an almost synthetic boost to be more mature than "Grand Theft Auto III/Vice City" has made this game something people may not want to pick up. That's not to say the game is horrid, but if it had something original to give the player I might be a bit more lenient on it.

    The game eventually becomes an endless exercise in button-mashing with little to reward the punishment your thumbs will take.

    • 63 Critic Score
    A fun little game that is taken down several notches thanks to the poor graphics and repeating music.

    Backyard wrestling is violent, bloody and mimics everything that makes the 'sport' popular, including the culture, music and even the violence... Unfortunately the game isn’t a whole lot of fun.

    • 96 Critic Score
    Everything here is amazingly responsive and easy to use. A is jump, X is kick, Y is punch, L is slow, R is speed, and the C-stick or B is zoom. It's all right at your fingertips and nothing requires a second thought.

    The easiest hockey game for your normal gameplayer to pick up and have fun with, even those who know nothing about hockey.

    DDR aficionados will be disappointed by the lack of the Oni mode. However, one would be hard pressed to find another game with this many options, levels (songs), and customization in this game.
