    With no story and just straight dueling against Joey or a friend, the game can become boring and tedious. This is an excellent game for people that play the Collectible card game though.

    The lack of magic and trap cards hinders the early portion of the game. Those who are patient enough to get through the introductory duels are in for some challenging duels.

    An absolute blast even if you do nothing more than simply swing around town. Without the extremely responsive and precise controls, this would not be possible.

    Remixing is an art and takes a great deal of practice, MTV Music Generator 3 takes some of the guesswork out of that process and makes it fun for the average gamer, and at an entry price of $29.99 you can't go wrong.

    No right turns, a heavy focus on tweaking your car's specifications, and brutal difficulty. This is not a pick up and play title for the casual driving fan. However, if you prefer Gran Turismo to Mario Kart, this might be worth at least a rental.

    This whole game is just too linear for its own good. I think there are a lot of great things in Driv3r, Reflections just decided to hone in on the CG movies and the city graphics over having any normal sense of gameplay that was fun.

    The exclusion of online play destroys any replay value this game may have though.

    Repetitive, a little frustrating but well done and fairly well polished.

    The graphics are a little lacking, and the sound could’ve used a boost. However, the awesome gameplay makes up for these faults.

    Just after the first section of the game I wanted to throw this game out the window. Where has the fun gone in beat-em up games? Where are the Final Fights, Streets of Rages, and Double Dragons today?

    The many ways to handle enemies give you a lot of freedom on how to play the game.

    Designers really worked hard to make each level unique and interesting. Aside from the so-so graphics everything in Four Swords is done extremely well and extensively thought out.

    The gameplay is varied and engaging, and coupled with the storyline and character development you'll find that you can't put the game down until you finish it.

    CoR leaves you wanting more, not because it is short, but because it is good.

    This game is simply fun to play and will make you remember the good old days of "Contra" (if any of you remember those).

    A ton of fun, and is an excellent port/upgrade overall. Shame on the company for not including two player mode though, as that's where most of the fun came from.

    Delivers on its promises and is a worthy addition to the legacy of Looking Glass, we can only hope that more innovation and interaction is present in what all Thief fans are hoping for; "Thief 4."

    The best Transformers game ever.

    It's designed to let newcomers into the 'build your own robot' genre, yet isn't quite expansive enough to keep the diehard gamers happy for an extended period of time. Add in a so-so AI component, and you'll end up with a game that's better played as a multiplayer title.

    After sitting down with the game for a while though, I can say that the game has much more in common with "Devil May Cry's" lackluster sequel.

    The game feels largely the same through all the levels, even with new weapons gained through the game. Move through the level, fight monsters, get through more parts of the level, fight more monsters, collect glyphs, and fight the boss. However, this game does make good use of the license.

    What Sony forgot to do was fix the control scheme and think a bit harder about how the game was presented in the single-player section.

    La Pucelle doesn't have as many extras as Disgaea, but it is much heavier on the story, the music tracks are incredibly awesome and the voicework is excellent.

    This is just a fantastic game and I hope people can look past its arcade racing roots.

    There’s no way a gamer can’t beat this inside 10 hours as there are no puzzles, it’s all run and gun, and there’s not a heck of a lot of challenge other than fighting the controls and the camera. Give it a rent if you’re into Westerns.

    Pay attention movie companies...THIS is how it is done.

    This game is easily a recommendation because it gave me the same feel as I had when I first played "Devil May Cry," a game this one borrows a lot from.

    This is one game that will kick your butt if you don’t use your brain. The best part is how it keeps you on your toes by forcing you to alter strategies to fit the situation, which is something far too many games ignore.

    If you really enjoyed those previous missions, and I know I did, then you will really enjoy the new ways in which you can approach them. The new graphics engine and some more 'weight' to the story make for a more immersive game which is punctuated by a great new music score.

    World Tour Soccer 2005 is undone by the delay between button pressing and action on the screen. If it ran smoothly it would probably give Winning Eleven 7 a run for its money this year. However, the delay destroys any possibility of that happening.
