    Graphics are crisp and colorful on the screen, and there is enough variety in play style to keep interest going.

    Shark Tale isn’t aimed at me. That said, I’m having a ball playing it with my wife. The game is squarely aimed at those who loved the recently-released movie but there is enough nostalgia there for the whole family to enjoy.

    I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but it certainly is mediocre on every level except the graphics. If you and your kid enjoyed the movie, then chances are you’ll enjoy this game.

    Once you get spoiled by the leisurely pace of the game, absence of micromanagement, and the emphasis on actual strategy, you may never want to go back!

    It is steeped in the history of the X-Men comic books and is an easy game to just pick up and play.

    Deceptively simple with a hidden layer of strategy. Katamari has a simplicity and charm that is definitely addicting.

    A little more polish and gameplay balance could have made Second Sight a classic gaming experience. This really is too bad since it contains a story that puts Psi-Ops to shame.

    It's got average graphics, sound that does not stand out, and decent replayability due to unlockable items, but the issues with control and timing outweigh these items.

    In short, this is a much better multiplayer game than a single player one.

    Inadequate controls and chaotic 4 player co-op mode keep it from being a great game, but fans of the comics and movies should have plenty to be happy about.

    What I don't understand though is how the developers felt the need to add a really bad slow motion element to the final boss battle, when this had never happened anywhere else in the game. This makes the final fight agonizingly annoying, so if you can get this far then you may as well push on through.

    If there were a way to “Mystery Science Theater 3000” a game, this would be considered one of the best games to do that with. Shellshock: Nam ’67 is the Manos: Hand of Fate of video games.

    This game is quite a bit longer than the first game, which was the biggest complaint of the first game. Sucker Punch has delivered a massive adventure game with a slick cohesion of 3 playable characters.

    Ultimately, the story is what carried the day here and kept me playing to the end.

    While fans of the show will get a kick out of controlling the Zords, the gameplay is so repetitive and uninspired that most will find it boring. If that isn’t bad enough, the game is short.

    I wasn't blown away by the graphics in Guilty Gear X2: #Reload. It's a bunch of anime characters beating the snot out of one another, but hey it looks a lot better than Dragonball Z so at least its got that going for it.

    Control is way too loose.

    This game is long...and the ability to save is minimal.

    All I know is that I never want to be in a situation like Henry Townshend is put through in this game. Then again, he does it in such a nonchalant way.

    The only question you can ask yourself is how much time can you give a game that sucks you in and doesn't let go?

    Spy Fiction is a mess. Beyond cheesy. Beyond embarrassing. Aggravating cutscenes and dialogue pull you right out of the story, while subpar controls and visuals sour the game experience.

    Despite the repetitive nature of the game it just doesn’t seem to get old. There is always one more territory to take, just one more turn.

    This is a great game from the first minute on, and you’ll not want to put this game down if you allow yourself to be drawn into the plot.

    A racing game should be fun and exciting and give me a sense of accomplishment when I complete a level. If I want a sense of relief that I'll never have to play any given mission again, I'll fire up SRS.

    If you must have only one NFL football game, I say spend the $50 on Madden NFL 2005. I think you will find yourself playing it for far longer than you would the $20 "ESPN NFL 2K5."

    Add these two multiplayer modes to the ones from Rainbow Six 3 and you have a lot of multiplayer loving, at least until Halo 2 comes out.

    While the game is too easy on Pro and very difficult on All-Pro, some slider adjustments can help the situation.

    The game is as linear as a meterstick and the graphics aren't showcase quality, so after finishing the eight levels (not 32 as listed on the back of the box) there's no reason to keep this one in your collection.

    The sound this year is exceptional and easily stands out as the biggest aesthetic addition to this year’s game.

    The best part about the combat system? The next to no loading time as you go in and out of combat.
