I kept playing it thinking there was more, or something I missed that was jading me. But in the end the game is just not that good for me.

Walk right past this title and pick up the latest version of "Dance Dance Revolution," for whatever system you like.

The controls felt loose and sluggish, and so did the rest of the game.

On the whole I would much rather spend my time in another world, an easier more exciting life, but we cannot always have what we want.

From a company that has been making the same game for some many years, you start to expect them to put something together more impressive than this.

And really once you've been in two or three fights, you begin to simply say "ho-hum, now what"? You quickly get bored of things and start losing your concentration. By that time you also start losing interest in the game itself.

An excellent game for little kids but won’t provide much excitement for others. The gameplay is very simplified, and the action gets repetitive quickly.

The camera in Astro Boy is absolutely inexcusable. Although you can manipulate the view using the L2 and R2 buttons (which you will be doing a lot), you find yourself looking straight into little Astro’s gigantic eyes again before you know it.

It's all good until you actually have to start using your martial arts skills. Then it's a lesson in frustration.

If any more Oddworld games are brought to the GBA, I really hope that they go back to the side-scrolling format. In fact, a direct port of the original Oddworld for Playstaion wouldn't be a bad idea, and would have surely come out better than this game did.

I was really looking forward to this game, it is really a shame they didn’t fix the problems they should have during beta testing: control issues, AI problems, weapon balancing and character differentiations. Like I said, maybe they’ll get it right next time.

It was fun at first, but got grindingly boring as I kept playing.

This collection has more classic titles than many other collections I have seen, but more importantly, it has more good old school games than I have seen in any other game collection.

It was fun at first, but got grindingly boring as I kept playing.

The games biggest problem, as I have said before, is that it is coming into a market that is ridiculously over saturated with WWII and Vietnam shooters already, and it does not do enough to separate itself from the pack, so I have a feeling it will be doomed to slip by the wayside unnoticed by most.

So here is the game in a nutshell. For 20 bucks you get a solid playing game that you basically could have had for the last 2 years. And if you're a Slugfest: Loaded player, there's simply no reason to even bother with Slugfest 2006.

The moveset is extremely limited, the action can't be too fast-paced, and it's harder to battle in multi-player mode.

The graphic engine and framerate really fail the gameplay engine, which had some very nice controller setup.

Bottom line, this game is simply not worth taking the time to play.

Bottom line, this game is simply not worth taking the time to play.

The slow single player mode along with unimpressive graphics, and a bad soundtrack really hurt this game. What helps it are the good online play, along with the easy controlls.

This game is simply sub-par to it's Xbox counterpart, and for that matter the PS2 version as well.

It’s a blood fest, plain and simple, if that’s what you want in your role-playing game go for it, if you are looking for depth, character development and dialog, well then look elsewhere.

Frustrating controls and fighting engine, and really lackluster fun-factor keep this game on the store shelf.

Just all over the board in terms of gameplay, graphics and sound. One minute you will enjoy it and the next you will be wondering what you miss because you are stuck and cant get to the next level.

I think the ideas are there, and they are great. Unfortunately, the gameplay brought it down a few notches.

The General Lee's controls are really rough. I don't think I have played a driving game that handles this poorly. It's so loose that sometimes it's outright hard to control.

I seriously question the longevity of this title, even with multiplayer and a ton of unlockable stuff. I think this is a weekend rental for the most part.

The first DoA Beach Volleyball game was actually a good volleyball game and the girls were built to look like realistically hot girls. This one has gone to just ludicrous looking girls with little else to offer in the game.

Wii remotes are in limited supply, and ten extra bucks isn’t a bad deal for the set.

I was somewhat impressed until I had to do the shooting levels. I just think it is a very bad mix and it should never be tried again.

With repetitive gameplay, mediocre graphics and some very frustrating missions I cannot recommend this title to anyone.

If you are a PC gamer looking for a decent third person platform title, do yourself a favor, do not pick this up and grab a console.

This game is so boring and annoying that I can’t force myself to play it anymore. Now I’m not going to say this is one of the worst games of the year (I think "Lords of the Realm III" deserves that honor), but as soon as this review is over I’m not going to play it anymore.

The saving grace of this game is its affordable price mark.

The game looks great, no doubt about it, but it controls terribly, and just isn't any fun to play.

The horrible shot controls simply aren't saved by a good presentation and online play.

There comes a time when you should just move on. I think Tom Clancy games and the Playstation 2 should go ahead and part ways. The system just isn't powerful enough to do what I think UbiSoft really wants to do with their games.

The game is not horrible, but there is nothing really awesome to overcome the games bad parts.

If Cy Girls had stronger gameplay to support the story, or a more compelling story to support the "backtrack and wander aimlessly" puzzle solving, Konami may have had a sleeper hit.

I did not like "Kingdom Under Fire" and I do not like this game either. I still have hope that someone will make a good hack n’ slash game for the Xbox 360, but this is not it.

I can't think of a single good reason to play NBA Live, especially over 2K's "NBA 2K6." I'm sorry guys, I really am. But I can't.

So much potential, so little in execution.

A sad excuse for a clone of the decent PC shooter that bares the same name that came out long before this title.

But the execution just totally destroyed all the good things this came could have been. Saying the game was almost devoid of gameplay might be a harsh statement, but when I turn off a game and say to myself “I have had enough”, and vow never to play it again, then harsh is a reality.

They still do not have a fun game, but simply a collection of features… maybe the next time around they will have a fun game… one can always hope.

Until the next Shrek movie comes out (or we're treated to "Shrek Swamp Golf"), I'm going to close the story book on Shrek games.

One of the biggest problems that I found about Yu-Gi-Oh! Dawn of Destiny was the fact that it lacked online play. This fact just downright boggles the mind! Why would you make a game based on a card game, and then slap a $40 price tag on it and NOT have online play?

The controls and AI in the game are frustrating at best.

You can call it sour grapes (for liking the old TMNT, not this new 2005 TMNT cartoon garbage), or you can just call it a very mediocre game.

Only controlling three characters, no multiplayer of any kind, and reverting to basically a 3rd-person "beat 'em up" is not the way to take this franchise.

The boring levels mixed with the poor control scheme suck any fun that the action in the game could provide.

What can I say, with so many other WWII RTS games out there, and with this one having some serious drawbacks I cannot recommend this title to anyone.

The concept of the game, the living ships that can morph as the situation changes, if implemented correctly, could have been VERY cool for an RTS game. It’s just too darn bad that the rest of the game fell flat on its face and left the graphics and concept high and dry.

[Control] has to be the worst part of the game.

Failed miserably in execution and you will not find me playing this game again because I just don’t think it is very fun to play.

This game is boring. I will not play this game anymore, and I would have to say that the only people that should be playing it are die hard fans of the TV show. On second thought, I can’t recommend this title for them either.

There are better puzzle games out there, and games that do not pretend to be something they are not.

Two things work against Stacked in the end. One, while the computer AI is great, whoever is dealing the cards needs to be looked into by the gaming commission. And it says "Halo With Chips" on the back, which gives the game higher expectations than it should. Being that I am really enjoying playing Texas Hold'em both in video games and in real life, I wanted to like Stacked. Unfortunately there are just too many other Poker games out there that are better, even with less realistic AI.

There are just a few things wrong with this game, like repetitive land battles, horrible AI and no save options that lead me to the conclusions that no one should get this game. There are plenty of great pirate games out there, if you want a good one look elsewhere.

The only redeeming value this game has going for it is its affordable price tag, under 20 bucks, however that does not excuse a poor game.

This storyline is strange and is not developed during the game at all. They should never have put a storyline in the game.

I am not usually one to judge a game based on its graphics, but it is unforgivable to have a game look this bad so late in the Xbox's life cycle.

What in the blue hell was going on when they released this out the door?

The problem is that they failed at making either the storyline or the action engaging and fun.

As for Torino 2006, I would look in the bargain bin for "International Winter Sports 2002" instead.

Now that this review is done I’m going to try my best to forget that I ever played this game or even worse, had to spend enough time on it to write a review about it.

The controls remind me of what "Tomb Raider" would be if it were strung out on crack. I think I can honestly say that I hate the controls in this game.

Seeing as the graphics are the best part of this game, that is a very sad thing indeed, as I consider graphics to be the least important part of a game.

This is supposed to be the Microsoft Xbox, the most powerful system out of the big three. So why does this game look like a mediocre Playstation 2 game? The mech machines designs are very boring, the graphics and texture throughout the whole game are stale and bland.

It needs a boat load of work. More cases, more challenge, and better animation could make this game a reasonable buy. I thought Kung-Fu Theater went out in the 80's?

There's two cops, Mike and Marcus. Where's the two player simultaneous co-op mode?

With so many options out there for RPG fans, I cannot bring myself to recommend this game to anyone. The storyline is annoying and the gameplay is slow, not even the graphics help the game any.
