For some it's been a mixed bag. Some people love it for its creepy and intense atmosphere and others hate it for its stale game play.

At the core of the game is an excellent 3D shooter with enough platforming elements to keep the game varied. The levels, whether placed in the organic valleys or in the rigidly industrial buildings, are large and well detailed.

The graphics portion of the game is a pure gold mine of visuals. The game sports a lot of nicely rendered locations, finely detailed textures and some exquisite visual effects.

For as few times that Kingdom Hearts made me frustrated with the camera and repeat visits, the number of times I was happy with my trip through the story more than made up for it.

In spite of the simple story line, the awful voice-acting, and the unpolished graphic engine, I still urge Anime fans to check this game out.

It seems to lack the personality that the first had. Is it a good action title? Yes. With multiple difficulty modes, two characters to play as and secret rooms to find, dedicated action buffs should have a good time with this sequel.

Most of the game is trial-and-error, leading you to play the same stage multiple times until you figure things out. Get seen by a shibito? Go ahead and die, because it's likely that running and hiding isn't worth the effort.

Probably the biggest structural flaw behind Syberia is the poor control implementation. Plain and simple, controlling Kate is a bit of chore.

The single player experience is good for a short while, but the repetitiveness of it all may tire on some gamers.

The strength of Shadow of Destiny lies in its well-scultped narrative which drives the game.

To make things worse, War of the Monsters has probably some of the cheapest enemy A.I. I've seen in some time.

Really, the only thing that holds Psi-Ops back is that it's still just a culmination of other games in the genre with a nice psychic ability angle to it.

Gone from FM4 is the ability to kill or eject pilots, meaning that you wont be swimming in excess Wanzer parts by a third of the way through the game.

A very good game, it's just hidden under a coat of blood and filth. The game engine is good, and the gameplay, graphics and audio are well done. If you can stomach the disturbing images and violence, you'll find a solid stealth/action game.

While this is technically a simulation, I still wish there was some car damage and the effects of said damage to reinforce not using other cars and rails to bounce your way through certain corners.

While I wished they had done a little more to push the story graphically, the challenge and solid 2D action were enough to keep me going.

It might not have the depth as some of the other fighting games, but it's still fun.

Look past the glitches and the mediocre puzzles and you can find a fun action/adventure for just about anyone.

Most of the original game's elements have been realized in a pretty faithful replication.

With a little more power for the engine and more refinement, this could have been a great game, but there is still a good time to be had here.

A solid dungeon crawler with dated graphics and audio.

A ridiculously addictive multiplayer experience that serves as a great party or group-oriented distraction.

When you do get to the heart of the story, you'll find characters who are far deeper and fleshed out than most RPGs deserve to have.

If you can look past the shallow combat and limited interactivity, you'll find an enjoyable gothic experience the looks good and has a great story to tell.

It's a shame that Ape Escape 2 is so easy and that there are so few new gadgets as the game is quite fun. With some more decent minigames (in place of the mundane Monkey Fables) and a little more challenge, I would recommend this to anyone.

The game features a lot of loading, which is a little disappointing considering how linear and confined some areas are. Also, I would have liked to see more variety in the weapons and armor available.

It's hard to find a Dragon Ball Z game that's fun, fast, and enjoyable. DBZ nuts should savor this one. For every one else - it's a solid rental at best.

The action is quality and the story is told, even if in small portions and with very little in the way of depth.
