It doesn't suck right out of the box - but it doesn't do the series justice. If you're a huge fan of the show, the X-Box version is slightly better than the PS2 version, but don't expect to see the engine taxed.

It's jolly good fun and should be examined immediately.

Compared to "Spiderman," another Activision release, this game pales like Storm’s hair. It’s a good game, but an even better rental.

Getting surrounded by zombies and not having any way to defend yourself thanks to not being able to activate the special moves isn't really a pleasant way to spend your time, and turns this game into a tedious chore.

We have to be impressed by the number of included titles, faithfulness of the emulation, and the huge amount of archival material. Our only real gripes are the controls and lack of save support.

Its bare-bones style of play may not impress those accustomed to more outlandish PC titles, but purists of the arcade will find just enough here to add to their Playstation library.

The game is still fun, and still retains the exploratory element that made the first game so addictive.

With a lot of exploring and mostly the same old shooting technique as before, Mega Man qualifies as a run-of-the-mill action RPG. Fans of the man will enjoy it.

It's time to move on, Lara -- Angelina Jolie is waiting in the wings, and then you're done.

It's a good training game, but there's too much looseness in the controls to make it a top draw.

Parents should strictly heed the Mature rating on this game – everyone else, take your shot. Literally.

The only way to make the game any more fun is to through in the options that would make any four-wheeler drool, and the game has plenty of that.

This ain’t no "Twisted Metal: Black." If Motor Mayhem had come out last October we might have recommended it; as it is, there's no real competition.

If the monsters don't get you, the needless micromanagement will.

If you like your destruction on a massive scale, this game is the one for you – though it relies heavily on big explosions to entertain you (have we made our point yet?).

Take KISS out of the picture and you have a mildly entertaining shooter that does an adequate job of shooting things up. But if you're a KISS fan expecting lots of face paint and heavy guitar riffs, forget it.

Good for the nostalgia crowd, and that's the target audience. It's a cheap package too, so it's probably worth it. But what's with the slowdown in such old games?

Lots of options, plenty of races, and some challenge puts this racer in a league of its own – it’s actually better than some of the official NASCAR racers available now.

A highly detailed and realistic golf simulation that just isn't all that much fun to play and has a few maddening quirks.

It’s a great snack until the Hawk strikes back. Pick it up now and you’ll be done with it by the weekend.

This is Jedi Power Battles in 3D - a simple, fast-paced action game that makes you forget everything else for a couple of hours, just like the movie it's based on.

It’s hard enough to see on the Advance as it is – some of the darker areas in Pitfall make the game unplayable.

There has to be a better way to represent the sport of snowboarding than this.

If video games were breakfast cereal, Darkstone lurks below Malt-O-Meal.

It won't make you stand up and cheer, but it will keep you busy - like a good game should.

The game won’t be taking home trophies for the game play, which is the most serious of the game’s flaws.

On the plus side, you can use the CDs for beverage coasters.

Fish fans, fear for the fun factor - it's frightful.
