Tales of Phantasia will last you at least 20 hours, probably closer to 30 hours, though. There are a lot of side quests to fulfill, but the older game design shows through and you'll probably be quite confused on where to go and what to do if you haven't played this game before.

It's not so much that using the touch screen to control a basketball game doesn't work, it just didn't come together quite as well as it could have.

The lack of multiplayer really hurts in the long run, but playing a shooter with the Wii-mote is an experience you definitely should have.

Even though it's short, and the backtracking can be tedious, I would still recommend this game. I wouldn’t recommend paying full price for it, however.

While HMDS will not recruit many new gamers into the fray, it executes exactly where it wants to, and that is in maintaining the fundamentals of the franchise.

A Pokemon fan will definitely get a kick out of it, especially if they like the collect-a-thon side quest.

Who needs the outside world when you can get some decent exercise in your very living room or bedroom? It may not be anything rigorous, but it'll get your body moving in ways that it normally may not.

It’s deep, full of fun minigames, and definitely not one to slack off and show sloppy Wii controls.

The records and trading are groundbreaking for a sports title and has set a standard for all sports games that will be released for the DS.

Perhaps the greatest asset of Brain Age is the addition of Sudoku, a famous number puzzle that is gaining popularity quickly. It contains a wide range of difficulty, meaning it can be fairly simple or very difficult.

The concepts behind Tiger Woods DS are solid, and the controls follow the goal of innovative new ways to play games. Unfortunately, the controls that EA shoves at you are so inconsistent that the gameplay is greatly hampered.

A decent single player and full use of the DS’s features along with a fair amount of content makes Tak worth at least trying out if you really like platformers. I just wish that the racing portions were better done.

It's actually a decent clone of Castlevania gameplay mixed with good ship combat.

I'm rather disgusted with all those other media establishments and their unfair razing of what's a truly decent game. Again, it's not perfect, and will likely frustrate the hell out of you at some points. But try to work through that and give Red Steel a chance, you may find a hidden layer of entertainment that those guys apparently didn't.

You may think I'm full of BS, but Pac-Man World 3 will last you anywhere from 8-12 hours.

I love the controls, but the lack of intelligence in your friendly and foe A.I. is annoying, and the GCN version really has no replay unless you love the missions.

Feels very much like a downgraded mix of Midways "NFL Blitz" and "Madden."

It will make for a good experience if you have the friends to play with, but the camera issues and lack of differences between characters don’t give it as much quality or longevity as other party action games.

The graphics reek of four years ago, and animation is horrible.

Those who aren’t fans of mindlessly pressing a button to gain another level will be better off with another game this holiday season.

When it comes down to it, I'd much rather take a short game with a great idea rather than a lengthy one without any innovation.

This would have been a great RPG had it not used all the "uniqueness" that makes it annoying rather that a classic.

Multiplayer mode is a blast, however single-player mode is useless when compared to the aforementioned.

Those who aren't fans of mindlessly pressing a button to gain another level will be better off with another game this holiday season.

A good game, but it has it faults. Graphics aren't nearly as good as the series is known for and the slowdown really gets to you in some parts of the game.

A decent arcade soccer game with too little Mario. The developers could have put considerably more Mario-elements into the game other than the characters and the title.

EA is only good at making games if it incorporates some type of ball, and the movies are still far better than the games.
