Suffers the pains incurred through fundamental flaws that impact the gameplay quality and the overall experience a gamer can have.

For anyone looking for a racing game on the Wii there are better games out there, but for the kids that get given this by a grandmother looking to recapture her youth could have done a whole lot worse.

Despite a strong and unique cast of characters, the poor presentation, barebones features, and subpar gameplay make this hard to recommend, especially at full price.

If a little more time was spent in development ironing out these kinks, then Tornado could have been a solid form of competition for Katamari Damacy.

Fans of the series as a whole will enjoy it until "Dynasty Warriors V" comes out, but the casual gamer will be turned off by the fact that it is essentially the same game over and over again.

Adrenalin Misfits is basically what you would assume for a launch title of a new system. It means well, but falls short of being that fun killer app that you hoped for.

While the ability to steer with the wiimote may be a selling point, I’d much rather have a great racing game with precise controls and intensely accurate graphics. The novelty of building your own tracks is lost if there is no one to share them with.

While it certainly doesn’t have the graphical prowess of Crazy Taxi the real character voices and classic Simpson’s sense of humor make it worth a rental.

It is not that Ex-Patriot is a bad game, it is just that there are better and smoother alternatives on the XBLA marketplace. Unfortunately, if you want a more enjoyable experience (that also costs less and has an entertaining co-op feature), check out the original version.

It has its own share of glitches, but the voice acting and soundtrack were enough for me to keep coming back for more until I reached the end.

Namco Museum Remix is a decent compilation, but it will have gamers wanting more, especially for the higher price point.

The controls are clunky, the gameplay has some glitches that negatively affect the overall experience, the graphics are decent, and the sound is less than impressive.

The gameplay isn't extraordinary by any means. The graphics, while solid, are not memorable, and the audio falls into a similar category.

The game also has a number of bugs that freeze the game up during battles or when you save.

Sound effect glitches, endless enemy spawning and strange enemy placement, repetitive enemy types, and the always-entertaining getting-shot-at-through-walls feature inflict quite a degree of damage on Nemesis Strike's other more noble attempts.

It's got nasty graphics mixed with almost decent graphics, unbalanced controls, and completely lackluster sound.

Instead of focusing on one major aspect of the game, the developers seemed to try and cram too much into this DS title, causing each style element to become watered down in the gameplay department.

Spitfire Heroes: Tales of the Royal Air Force starts in the right direction with tight play control, but suffers from a high difficultly factor and empty/plain environments.

If you need a party game for your Wii, Family Gameshow is not the best or most polished option available, but at $20, it’s easy to recommend.

I don’t know how to put this nicely…but Indianapolis 500 Legends is just a terrible game. Really, there’s just not much that it does right, and not even racing fans would find this especially fun.

Not that Texas Hold'em Poker does anything wrong, there just is not a lot of content.

Overall, if looking for a puzzle game on Xbox Live I would tell you your money is better spent elsewhere on a better polished and actually fun game.

The truth here is this: the game should have been released two years ago as it was meant to. Hardcore comic fans might love the game, but for a casual gamer, it's an average offering in an already overcrowded genre.

Killzone's cool features such as enemies recognizing the threat of a grenade and running from it, secondary fire modes on weapons and the ability to play offline against bots in some creative forms of multiplayer would normally make a game fun, but most of these details are overshadowed by buggy graphics and monotonous sound.

The developers at Planet Moon deserve some props. They have created a somewhat original concept, but just failed on the execution side of the gameplay.

Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy is an excellent example of a game that could have been a lot of fun had it just done a few things differently.

This game simply cannot be recommended to anyone: the controls are busted, the AI is pathetic, and even with online play you will grow tired of it within an hour.

This game is like your Mom telling you to do all your homework and chores before you can go outside and play.
