It's cute, but only a decent filler game at best. I managed to beat it in less than a week, and I didn't even try that hard.- Next Level Gaming

I hate to say this after being such a fan of much of Peter’s and the Lionhead Studios work, but once again Fable turns out to be nothing more than a legend.- Next Level Gaming

Does a great job of creating a game that simulates the experience of "Axis and Allies" the board game, just updated and enhanced with the power of a computer.- Next Level Gaming

If your idea of a good time is rubbing your stylus across the screen of your DS to simulate petting your dog, then you’ll have hours of enjoyment, but most people will choose to play a real game, and pet a real dog.- Next Level Gaming

Probably the biggest flaw of this Story Mode is that it only lasts a year. Once you go to Wrestlemania and win the World Title (which you are required to do), the game ends.- Next Level Gaming

At its core, this is an old-school RPG. So if you are looking for a turn based RPG that you can play in the palm of your hand or if you are just feeling nostalgic for the days of yore, then you might want to check this game out.- Next Level Gaming

If you are into more fast paced puzzled, even though this game has a clock there is little rush with most of the maps (thank god, cause I would be screaming at Mr. Esc to move faster than the crawling pace he moves around at).- Next Level Gaming

More selectable wrestlers really could have boosted the replay value. Still, with its great graphics, solid grappling system and AWESOME Create a Wrestler mode, WrestleMania XIX shows that its franchise is on the right track.- Next Level Gaming

The good include the graphics, the historical background for each map, tracer bullets in your ammo, and the detail put into the planes. The minus include a poor map, horrible objectives, long boring flying time and a general sense of pointlessness to the game.- Next Level Gaming

Due to the game not having sufficient resources, the rosters ended up taking a big hit as none of the players appear to be on the right teams. If we do see a "MVP '08," I do hope that EA does place the passion and resources back into the franchise which plays a fairly great game of baseball.- Next Level Gaming

The basic problem is they were too ambitious with this game and put too much into it. If they had trimmed it down and focused and made a few things really well they would have had a better game.- Next Level Gaming

The replay in any of these titles is much less than what you would find with the PC version. The linear storyline, and structured game flow really cut down on the nearly limitless options that are at your disposal in the computer version of the Sims games.- Next Level Gaming

This is a nice game for fans of the genre; however, if you are looking for a game to jump in and out of quickly this may not be the one for you. The problem is that you must spend much of your time micro-managing your units, telling them when to fire, when to charge and where to move.- Next Level Gaming

Simply more of Dungeon Siege. There’s new stuff, new areas, new dungeons and so on. More, however, isn’t always better. While there’s a stack of new additions, the new campaign is less entertaining than the original.- Next Level Gaming

It's ok for a secondary Football game if you have friends over, or want to go online occasionally. But as a single player game, or something you play leagues with on the PS2, I think this is the year Blitz doesn't quite fit in. And I love Midway, so this is a very difficult thing to say.- Next Level Gaming
