    A button-masher can hold his or her own, but mastering the game will take a very long time. Those looking for a deep but fast fighter with four-player capabilities should look no further than Guilty Gear Isuka.

    The biggest knock against Duel Masters is something that has plagued the card game to videogame scene for a long time: no online component.

    Fatal Frame oozes with tension and terror. Mystery lies inside the village, and the atmosphere throughout the game is held together by the graphics and sound.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    With poor controls, frustrating level design and weak enemy AI, the game just doesn't live up to the promise of the concept.

    The world is detailed and interesting to be in, with only some annoying graphical issues. The dialog (written and spoken) is amazing to listen to, and funny to boot.

    A thrilling, albeit frustrating, gaming experience that will have you yelling for joy one minute then screaming in anger the next.

    A complete flight sim package, that looks really nice, and has great mission modes. This game, and it's previous versions stand head and shoulders above the Microsoft Combat Flight sim games.

    Put plainly, this is a very welcome distraction from all the running, jumping, and silly key and coin collecting that you can enjoy with your friends and family.

    From the graphics to the dry commentary to the awkward controls, Chessmaster could have had a lot more going for it. Since older versions for the PC can be found, and the mouse interface is more intuitive, I'd have to recommend one of those versions over the Xbox version.

    The accessibility to beginners both games, excellent graphics and sound, and the amount of gameplay modes make this a worthy addition to a fan of the fighting genre.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A genuinely hilarious spoof of a genre long overdue for it.

    The worst part about Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed is that it is not "Ape Escape 3."
    • 69 Metascore

    Most experienced gamers will find this game a little on the short side, but most kids, the actual target audience, will probably think it's just right.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The loading times, framerate drops and lack of a "draw-in" factor with the story really hurts this game from being all it could have been.

    So many games have done 3D fighting better that SNK might have been better off making this a 2D game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Improves on its predecessor in almost every way, even if it still features the same maddening difficulty level as the original.

    The funny thing is that Midway probably could have combined the best games in both complications and released just one version of the Arcade Treasures.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Feels way too much like a rehash-by-committee of things that barely worked 15 years ago.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It was amusing to play in a party setting, getting to watch people get into the music who would not normally. An average title.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    For an attempt at creating a worthwhile recreational experience, it's an otherwise fun game rendered boring by constant loading screens.
    • 59 Metascore

    The game never drew me inside the world of Robotech. "Battlecry" did a much better job capturing the feel and atmosphere of Robotech.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The game also provides many good reasons to return to it, aside from its core fighting game mechanic, but those reasons support the core mechanic rather than overshadow it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    features a staggering amount of replayability, Live play, hours of unlockables, multiple gameplay modes, and far more than any other fighter since "Soul Calibur." To say that I enjoyed the game would be an understatement.

    The Story Mode will make you laugh out loud.
    • 52 Metascore

    It’s not a fun game, and what little is here gets real old real fast.
    • 73 Metascore

    For the people who have not played any of the games in the series up until this point, I would advise finding a copy of Armored Core 2 or 3 and play it first, as the difficulty in this one is not forgiving to anyone out of practice.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    A wonderful package. Don't wait on the bargain bin for this one, as it is worth the price from the get go.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    A sloppy, lackluster effort looking to cash in on nostalgia and familiarity rather than build a fan base with a quality product. Stay away from this one at all costs.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The cars are difficult to control, and the paths of terrain they travel through are not much wider than the car itself. Any mistake made can be the difference between first and last place, as well as how much damage to the car is taken.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The difficulty varies greatly, and might frustrate the game's chosen audience.
