A pretty good game. It’s not amazing, it’s nothing special, and it’s not even something to get worked up about if you’re a diehard fan of RPGs. It’s just another one of those playable and fun, but forgettable, RPGs on the market.

With nice looking visuals and outstanding gameplay, Sega went ahead and added enough depth to the game to call it a handheld sleeper.

This game hits the nail on the head in so many ways it really is hard to nitpick about the small shortcomings such as no in-game cut scenes or free flight. If you are a DBZ fan, don't rent this game. Buy it right now.

Sadly, the often cumbersome controls and sometimes lackluster execution of its psychic abilities means the excellent narrative has to carry the bulk of the title’s weight.

The game also features some nice unlockables as well as multiple endings for every character in the party. And just in case you need another incentive, Atlus isn't shipping too many copies either, so grab it while you can.

You're going to be feasting your eyes on some fantastic looking environments and some pretty good character models. The textures, aliasing, explosions, and the rest aren't so bad either.

The drums are responsive and the music isn't bad, and that's really all you need with Donkey Konga.

The problem with Kingdom Hearts is it's definitely not the action RPG people fell in love with on the PS2. It doesn't carry the same mood along with the story (though it had a well-written plot), and with the pacing the game has; it can often feel a bit rushed.

The meat of the game's storyline is rather fun, but it's over before you even know it - renting the game would probably be the most advisable thing in this situation.

Namco has done a heck of a job emulating the sports experience usually provided by Camelot, but those who spent a lot of long hours with previous Mario sports titles can tell that this game wouldn't mind having a bit more polish to it.

The only real reason not to get this game is if you have no access to Xbox Live and already own the PS2 version.

Just another rehash.

Nothing here is original or groundbreaking, and what may seem cool at first quickly gets dull and tedious after about five minutes.

Sadly, the often cumbersome controls and sometimes lackluster execution of its psychic abilities means the excellent narrative has to carry the bulk of the title's weight.

The length is fair, the story is on par with what Rare usually does, it’s visually superb, and the sound is actually enjoyable.

Better than the first in every category.

Although it isn't the best third-person action game on the market, it's easily the best Legacy of Kain game in the series.

Lousy interface aside, the game does give you a hefty amount of options to work with.

The gameplay is classic Front Mission, but is badly marred by poor artificial intelligence and somewhat cumbersome pre-battle menus.

While its multiplayer might leave something to be desired, its single player hits its mark.

With its unique art style, good story, and fantastic soundtrack, it’s one of those games that can definitely be enjoyed by a lot of people.

If you enjoy beautiful, fluid, entertaining adventures, then this is your chance to take part in one.

Radiata Stories has a fair amount of replay value to back it up. It has 175 recruitable characters, and if you go through both scenarios, you’ll have about 30 hours of gameplay, assuming you don’t get lost.

Recommending Killer 7 is frightening, much like recommending A Clockwork Orange, or Pulp Fiction, or Eraserhead. The art we love is not always universally enjoyable, but we all want to share that favorite special vision with others, while still worrying about what they will think. We offer our sincere but guarded blessing to Killer 7.

While the game is fun for nearly 8 hours, there's a certain amount of forced length in the game, when you wander around and collect DNA from brain stems or the rather simple sidequest missions in order to progress to the next mission.

The game is obviously hard, and the fact that there’s no pause screen doesn’t help either.

Stylistically, the game borrows heavily from many predecessors, including Lunar, Grandia and all entries of Squaresoft’s Secret of Mana franchise. But with just the right amount of borrowing and combining of different elements into something new, alchemy becomes wholeheartedly amusing, entertaining and rewarding.

While its multiplayer might leave something to be desired, its single player hits its mark.
