The GBA just isn't made to support this much combat variety at the kind of pace Revenge of the Sith requires you to act.

Sure the FMVs look incredible and unnecessarily violent, but there aren't enough of them.

I can describe the overall feel of this game in one word: repetitive. Levels, enemies, graphics, music, almost everything feels repeated at least once in this game. It’s hard to even give this a rental, as the game lasts a few hours at most.

It doesn’t quite measure up to current DS standards in the presentation area, but other than that, it provides a very fun, laid back gaming experience.

Electroplankton is also one of those games for people looking for a change in game design or a form of innovation.

Despite having an incredibly short adventure mode (8 missions which last about 5 minutes each), Nanostray brings a surprising amount of content to the table.

Yeah, it's a strange game.

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

By no means a terrible game, Madagascar is nothing more than a little above average. The only reason I even credit it with that is because I really enjoyed it for an hour. After that, the sloppiness just becomes too much to bear.

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

The mixture of simple platforming and stealth make for an enjoyable experience, not to mention the fact that it’s a pleasure to look at.

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.

Overall, REDS delivers and fills fans’ hearts with hope for an even better sequel for the DS.

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.

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

Donkey Kong has never been more unique and ingenious in terms of gameplay. However, ridiculous difficulty, less-than-stellar multiplayer games, boring graphics, and level design that borders on the atrocious makes King of Swing seem more like Peasant of Swing.

Words can’t describe the boredom I feel just thinking about Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits, let-alone playing it.

If you're new to the series, this game warmly welcomes you with its brutally easy difficulty. But steroid-using DDR veterans will dominate this game in a couple of hours, and won't give it a second thought.

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.

As I like to repeat, if you have trouble with micro-management, Lost in Blue isn’t for you.

Feels more like an expansion pack than a real sequel to Donkey Konga, and I would've liked to have seen the problems of the original fixed to some degree in its descendant. Sadly this is not the case.

In the end, GoF is an action game aimed specifically at younger players. There's simply not enough diversity to keep a more seasoned gamer entertained for long periods of time.

Frogger isn’t for everyone. While it’s aimed at kids, I find it funny that many kids won’t have the patience that is required to last throughout the levels.

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.

Volcano Island is nothing spectacular, but at the same time, it's a solid game that is fun for more than just kids to play, just don't expect it to last very long.

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.

The story adds a little bit of flair to a solid control system and some good graphics.

Break’em All is certainly worth a purchase, especially if you're an old-school gamer. It offers classic arcade action when wanting to kill some time.

Overall, choosing whether you want to buy LostMagic or not is really dependent on two things. One is how much you want the excellent rune drawing, and the other is how much you don’t want to deal with the incompetent ally AI.

Magnetica is surely a decent piece of software to commence Touch Generations. While the whole 'being approachable by anyone' deal isn't entirely accurate here, the game is definitely something that many can delve right into.

With a little more work and care on the WayForward's s part, Sigma Star Saga could have been up there with the many 16-bit classics that it was inspired by. Unfortunately, the developer just didn't manage to follow through.

The physics, the color combinations, the cut-scenes are just flawless.

This is more a Chunsoft dungeon game than a Pokémon game, and a lot of the Pokémon franchise is just slapped on this title for some quick profit.

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.

Cooking Mama saves the data progressively, so it’s incredibly easy to boot up, cook up a couple dishes, and shut down.

I was apprehensive when I first started playing this title. The complexity was a turn off at first, but I learned my way around the game in no time. The subtle approach that the storyline takes will ease you in.

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

True Swing Golf easily outdoes Tiger Woods in the entertainment department, even if it doesn't host the excitement that the PGA can bring.

The unique multiplayer modes offer a different type of multiplayer experience and can be a ton of fun for long term FPS fans. In addition (I reiterate this point), the style of gameplay is so rarely seen that I suggest everyone at least try it out before turning away from it.

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 hard to recommend this game to anyone because being a fan of the series doesn't change the fact that this game is too easy, too short and loses its freshness after only a few chapters.

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

It’s simplistic and easy, but if you have a friend it can be a good option to the other Wii racing games. Although I’d stick with Excite Truck, those looking for more speed in their Wii could see Cars as more unique approach.

The downfall to most of these games is lasting value. Some of them are great quickie alternatives to modern gaming, and if you want a challenge, this is the one to pick up.

Definitely a throwback to the arcade days, being almost identical to the arcade original. The new gameplay aspects add a little spice to the formula, but don’t add a whole lot of content overall.

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

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

If you’re thirsting for something else after playing "Advance Wars: Dual Strike," this game will easily fill your tactical appetite.

Street Racing Syndicate had a good chance of being something special. But thanks to a poorly implemented driving system, really crappy audio and much too easy difficulty, this isn't worth big bucks.

Gale of Darkness is one of those games that will use its claws to grab you by the gonads until you complete it.

This game would be better if Sega just released Sonic CD for the GCN alone with Vectorman as an unlockable, but only for $20. Instead we get a bunch of lame filler material that is best forgotten.

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.

Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll isn't really a bad game. It's just that there are other versions of the franchise that are much better.

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.

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

Although there’s glitches-a-plenty and very little tracks, you’ll be able to find something in RRDS that’s non-existent in "Asphalt: Urban GT"... a good time.

There are a good number of entertaining moments, but the frustration can really hurt one's enjoyment. It's definitely for the hardcore gamer, and those that enjoy doing multiple things at once when playing a game.

It will certainly entertain the younger crowd, and probably fans of the show as well, but if you don't fit into those categories, I would probably look for my GBA fix somewhere else.

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

The fighting becomes repetitive incredibly quickly, and after you've beaten the game, it can be put on the shelf with most GBA games as it has little to no replay value.

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.

You've got to admit Rayman is incredibly cool, but no measure of awesomeness can cover up troublesome controls, average visuals and mediocre gameplay.

OTH is nothing new, but nothing incredibly bad. If you're looking for a simple drive down leisure lane, then this is it. If you're looking for an overall competent game that adds a little humor to boot, then here you go. Just don't expect anything revolutionary.

Much like its console counterpart, gameplay will get repetitive. Unforgivable enemy fights cause an excessive amount of cheap deaths, and the crushing difficulty does all but help the situation.

Once you finish the game (it will only take a few hours) there is absolutely nothing left to accomplish. It's not worth the full price of the game.

Like one of those crappy parties you go to where there's a stale cake and some withered balloons on the table. No one did any work and no one really cared.

Slow-paced and lackluster.

As far as extra features being a reason to own it on the Gamecube though, there isn't much incentive other than having the full series on the GCN.

It feels rushed. It's sloppy. It's one of the biggest letdowns of the year bar none.

It's a great game but there just isn't enough to it to justify it being a buyable game, unless of course -- you're looking for a dose of nostalgia with an updated look and a neat twist.

The game’s plot keeps it interesting and the huge worlds keep player sucked in. The sloppy camera and tight controls can sometimes get you frustrated but the feeling will pass.

It's just another mediocre movie-based GBA game that's just a waste of 30 bucks.

There are far too many flaws for me to recommend Rogue Agent and have a good conscious, but it does show that the FPS genre can be done on the DS.

I hated this game. Now, if you are a younger person or a fan of the show (Even though you won't probably have kept reading past the first mean comment), just throw out all I said, because this game was meant for you.

Fans of Shrek will be glad to hear that a decent Shrek game is now available for them to play on the go, but ultimately this game just isn’t engaging or fun.

I had a bit of fun in the battles for the first few scenarios, but lost it as the game dragged on. The one problem that plagues everything in this game: repetitiveness.

Avatar shows a lot of promise, but falls into a repetitive mash of the same thing over and over.

Unlike most arcade-style racers, your opponents make use of EVERYTHING, just like you can and should.

The presentation is nice and colorful, not to mention that the puzzles are quite unique, but the game just doesn't feel as fun as the DS game did. It's not that bad of a choice if you are looking for your old school mix this holiday season, but it could use some work too.

There are a couple of unlockable extras, but players probably won't be playing this much after beating it the first time.

A person can only flip a ball around for so long before they crave something with a little more depth.

That game is made the way Sonic games should be. That isn't to say there are no fun parts in Shadow, but they are far too rare.

I honestly see no real reason to buy this game. Unless you only own a GCN and desperately want to play the Spies vs. Mercs minigame, then I would advise you to get the console version.

X-Men: The Official Game is another unfortunate example of a movie-licensed game endeavor that just doesn't execute.

Unfortunately, anyone that's been playing video games for the last few years will only become bored from the low difficulty and repetitive nature.

Why stick to an old formula when it’s not as fun compared to games of the current generation? Still, there can be some nostalgic fun with Rampage, so it isn’t a complete write-off.

Overall, the game just attempts too much and doesn’t follow-through on it.

Generally a frustrating game that will leave you crying tears of boredom after you're finished.

To sum it up in a few words, DBZ Taiketsu is pretty much just plain crap.

My overall experience with That's So raven was horrific and once I finished the game in under 3 hours I almost didn't feel like playing games anymore at all.

There isn't really any fun to be had past an hour, if you can even get that far without replacing the cartridge slot with something more... fun.
