Everything about the game feels half-hearted: the bland virtual world, the haphazard integration of the Virtua Fighter characters, and the uninspired environments.

Overall, while The Punisher is not a nice game—it’s bloody, violent and certainly not for the kids—and it’s not exceptionally designed, as licenses go, it’s one of the best.

The Punisher emerges as a thoroughly decent shooter. It's fun, but after you kill a few hundred thugs it may start to grow a little boring.

If there was more variety in the boss battles, a solid transparency effect on the characters, and a single pak link mode, then "Mario Kart" could have faced a run for its money.

A flawed and problematic game that will stand out as such with a mature audience, but might not show up on the glitch radar of a younger player.

A good game, but it doesn’t even touch the greatness of any of the other Suikodens. The story simply falls short of the epics found in all its predecessors and is, for all intents and purposes, just a ball of clichés.

This is the type of game that can, and probably will, sell systems. Resident Evil is once again the king of survival horror. Welcome back.

In the end, a pared-down multi-player extravaganza does not a great single-player experience make. This game has a lot of good things going for it, but they exist in departments that ultimately don’t matter.

The graphics, especially when zoomed in, are breath taking and the new remixed classic Zelda tunes fit the game perfectly. Unfortunately, the quest seems to end a little short.

By giving the player access to almost everything in the game world, LucasArts and Pandemic have created one hell of a fun game.

The measure of satisfaction achieved in reaching the end of the game is no more significant than with any other middle-of-the-road game.

By far the best war-themed strategy game on the market, but it isn’t a game for those with short attention spans. If gamers can survive the learning curve, however, and show some patience, they will find one of the most fulfilling gaming experiences out there.

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

The trial and error form of play becomes tedious, and the game only uses the D-pad or stylus to make selections. Boring is the best and only word to describe this game.

The presentation is probably the weakest spot in Growlanser: Generations. The graphics consist of 2D sprites, and the characters are very pixilated. Backgrounds can be bland at times, lacking detail. Spell effects are also rather lackluster.

With the introduction of polygons in Mega Man X2 in 1995, I never thought their use would result in a good X game. But this is the game I imagined the future would bring.

Fans of the PS2 game will enjoy their time with CoM. However, newcomers to the series may feel a little lost as the game's story does not update the player accordingly. The lack of a summary screen will leave players feeling lost.

A thoroughly enjoyable game, but it’s not going to turn the RTS genre on its ear.

While the original KOTOR was also critically acclaimed, this one is improved in almost every way. The story will keep any Star Wars fan or RPG lover pushing themselves to stay awake in order to find out what happens next.

Sadly, Metal Slug Advance is the worst game in the franchise with the stupid health bar, insane difficulty, shoddy frame rate, unknown playable characters, lack of a co-op link mode, and merciless respawning enemies.

The ten extra levels and two new weapons do seem to just barely justify the expansion’s price tag in the end.

The dark environmental settings are just not catching my eye and if I wanted this type of dark depressive art I would play an Id Software title. The charm that came with the original through its use of colors and the likable prince are now gone.

So many things in this game are either unpolished or retarded that it’s hard to care about the subject matter.

The game is darker, bloodier, and edgier all around. The environments all look beautiful, and the combat animation is seamless.

Everything's bigger and more complicated, but that doesn't necessarily make it better.

FF1 & 2 had potential with its classical turn-based fighting, but Square-Enix just left it a mediocre "enhanced" port.

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