    Run, not walk, far away from this piece of junk. Do not buy this game at all costs or you will regret it. You have been warned.

    There is a massive amount of items, music, people, and scooters to unlock, as well as levels and movies. You could play this game for months and still not final all that it has to offer.

    Underneath a 'kiddy' looking facade lurks a game of amazing depth.

    I would dare say this is the best Playstation 2 game I have played this year. It is somewhat easy, but it is also a very long game.

    The casual gamer will probably be put off by the subject matter, but if you’re willing to forgive the graphics and acting, you’ll find a fun game in there.

    I dare say this game could take up 50+ hours or maybe even more to fully finish everything. It just oozes value and I still play Son's of Liberty over and over.

    Can be very addictive despite it’s many flaws. It’s hard to recommend to the average gamer though, with sub-par graphics, sound, and gameplay issues.

    This is a long game, longer than GTA3 because there are far more missions in this game in a far larger area.

    The minus is once you beat it you probably will not want to play it again. The replay value just is not there. However you should hold onto the game to show people down the road what an innovative game is like.

    When you start to dream about how pissed off you are that the game target locked your lv12 Rafoie spell to the item boxes to your right instead of the 6 enemies walking towards you to your left you know it is time to call it quits for a while.

    I thought this game was fun... for 10 minutes. Every time I fired the game up I really wanted to see that "SSX Tricky" splash screen instead. "SSX" is just a lot more fun and satisfying.

    With the massive amount of music, coupled with a evenly paced difficulty scale, DDRMAX is set to keep you entertained for the long haul.

    Just running around blasting things and hunting for keys isn't fun anymore. When you also remove the feeling of having a LAN party from the multiplay, you're not exactly left with a must-play game.

    On top of that flexibility lies one of the better written stories in recent memory, and then thrown in is one of the most ingenious ways of telling it.

    A good game. It just has no longevity and should just be a rent unless you are really hard up for a shooter.

    This game is excellent, although very frustrating. I only made it past the Easy difficulty, I am not even going to try the Normal difficulty even if the real ending is behind it.

    If you like "Gauntlet style" hack-n-slash style games, then Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is definitely for you.

    The graphics are excellent in this game and I noticed no slowdown even with lots of Orcs on-screen at a time.

    In a time when some games seem to be out for making a quick buck ("Army Men," I'm looking in your direction), Car Battler Joe is like a breath of fresh air.

    I would recommend it for kids especially except that some of the jumping puzzles just drive you NUTS because they are so hard.
    • 90 Metascore

    The big things presented here are no slowdown, nice graphics, co-op Story mode play, a good amount of single and multi-player options outside of the Story mode and a plethora of extras and cheats to obtain.

    The interesting to watch, yet boring to actually play combat engine, the absolutely horrendous voice acting, and rarely used weapon/armor/item creation system makes this an average title at best.

    Defies easy categorization by being equal parts a stealth-based sneaker, a puzzler, and a straight-up shooter. After playing video games for so many years, I appreciate games that shake things up a bit.

    The PS2’s slowdown monster rears its ugly head from time to time, mainly during huge (5+ monsters on screen) fights.

    This is the game all of us transforming robot fans have been waiting for...sign petitions, buy two copies, solicit your Congressman, just make sure you get this game and work to make sure it gets a sequel.

    For the rest of us, for those who just love playing good games with a great sense of style and high production values, Sly Cooper is not to be missed.

    Looking at this game I cannot get over the idea that Rare is stuck in rut with originality. Their collect-a-thon games are getting boring and adding that idea to the Zelda framework is just wrong in my opinion. This is a Gold Nugget, but nothing special.

    I cannot stress this enough—this game is difficult. You will get frustrated. If strategy games are not your thing, stay far away from this one.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The action nature of this game makes the length shorter as there is little to no strategy as there is in turn-based games. I doubt many will want to go through this game again, but for the first time through the game was quite rewarding.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    You could certainly play through this game again and get a good bit of fun out of a repeat, despite the fact that it takes roughly 12 hours to beat the game.
