It's not groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be. Kids don't care about that. They care about having fun playing it, and I think that is where Activision has succeeded here.

It suffers because of its story. All of the twists and turns and never knowing what is really going on detracts from all of the cool moves and action the game provides.

This is not only one of the better Dragon Ball games in recent memory, but also one of the best Game Boy Advance titles of the year.

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

If you have played through the original game than this expansion will offer you little in the way of new excitement.

As long as you change the voice-overs to the original Japanese dialog, the game will be tolerable. If you have been looking for a traditional, turn-based RPG for the Xbox 360, then this one is a nice option.

If you're above the age of 13, you may find this game extremely boring, and somewhat lackluster. It's got the makings of a fun-filled 3D fighting game, but it just unfortunately doesn't deliver like it should.

The game has attitude to it that other games don't. And it looks good too.

If you haven’t played the current gen versions, then Blitz for the 360 is worth a pickup at the $39.99 price tag, but if you have played this already then the most you will get out of the game on 360 is XBL Online Leagues and Achievements.

You get the sense when playing King of Fighters: Maximum Impact - Maniax that you're not really supposed to explore that third dimension, since the first two dimensions are what SNK know intimately.

As good as the skeleton may be, the substance just isn't there.

The thing that really brings this game to the point of being a great package is the fact of getting the very cool Pelican Silent Scope Light Rifle for the Xbox. The gun itself is a real treat and worth the bones alone because not only can you use it with Silent Scope Complete, but you can also break the rifle down into a regular gun and use it on basically any Xbox game that supports a light gun.

I must say that I was actually very impressed with the sounds in SWAT: Global Strike Team.

But even with the mini-games and ability to replay the levels, I'm not 100% sure how much of an interest the game will hold. I wonder if after 2-3 days with it even the kids will get bored. For that, I say renting it is the best bet.

I honestly recommend the Xbox version because it looks better then the rest. It is also kind of hard to find a platform title for the Xbox that is geared toward children. So check it out.

It's a middle of the road 3rd person shooter lost in a rather large genre. It has some small control and camera issues, but those can be overcome. But I can't overcome the feeling of disinterest I have playing the game.

Many who like the film should like this game, but I seriously had a time getting through the game. Not because it was hard, but because my heart was just not into it.

The most important thing is that SWAT: Global Strike Team is just a damn fun game to play. I must say that I am a little disappointed about not being able to play online but the extra downloadable content through Xbox Live does help ease the pain.

The added Super Duel Mode (which would also be good online) brings a new aspect to the title. Bottom line, despite its shortcomings, Mario Party 5 proves once again why the Nintendo Gamecube is the system to own for multiplayer fun.

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.

Scaler is fun and easy to play. Its colorful characters will be sure to satisfy the children out there.

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.

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.

An enjoyable gaming experience even though it is a rather short one. The easy difficulty takes away from some of the enjoyment of the game.

Get past the frustrating controls and you've got a really decent military game. Things like a plain looking graphic engine are balanced out by excellent computer AI.

A great game for the kids, or maybe just the kids at heart.

For if I would not play the game more than ten seconds if I didn’t have to review the game, why would I recommend any voluntarily play this game?

Definitely a thinkers game. And it's something we don't have a whole lot of these days.

This is a unique platformer for that fact that each level does require strategy depending on the powers of your character.

They are not bad games, but nothing you have to run to the store and pick up this instant. However, when you put the two games together you can get a lot of gameplay for the buck.

Not only are the levels in the game massive, they are also graphically beautiful.

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

It's literally hours of fun, and I am as serious as I can be about that. Worms 3D takes a classic game that I have always enjoyed, added the 3D part yet completely kept the gameplay intact perfectly.

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.

The use of Redmond the Rabbit is very innovative, and does add a different element to a game. It's also solid looking, and solid albeit a little complex in the controls.

It has a very good storyline backed by some great character design and some very good scares.

And not to have online gameplay in a time where online games are up and coming? For the PS2 not to have it's flagship game online is not right.

Possibly flat out the worst game of the year.

And on defense, try rushing the quarterback. More often than not you'll go right past the QB or the running back as you try to turn your defensive lineman in towards the pocket. It's hard to do and frustrating.

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

Tak is incredibly fun to play.

The computer AI against you is not bad. I have found splashes of extreme stupidity with some enemy soldiers as they just stand there and wait for you to shoot them.

But to add some of the game elements that Artoon did such as oh, almost a whole second game with the Tom Tom Gang, and weaving it into the story, not to mention the 2 player co-op mode, does add make for nice improvements over the original game.

It makes really nice use of the DS features, both in the story mode and the mini-games, and shows you exactly what the system was intended to do.

I cannot recommend this game to anyone.

It's a fun Racing game, one of the most fun I have seen on PC in quite some time. If you like racing games and you have a computer then this is a game you might want to take a look at.

It really only has two problems, both of which can be overcome very easily. It's way to easy in the single player mode, and the lack of true 4 dimensional movement keep the game from being super great.

Minus the graphics, NASCAR '07 is just as solid as it's predecessors. The skill points are nice, as are the driver attributes. And a new story mode is always good.

In the end, Juiced may go down as a great rental, and a solid racing game. But otherwise it falls into the background as just another underground racing game.

The game that we have been waiting for. It is the best GTA game on a portable system and it made a smooth transition from console to portable.

An average card-based game. If you are a big fan of the cartoon series and you collect the cards then you should not be disappointed.

Of all three Midway Arcade Treasures games, this is the one that probably has the most amount of games you won't want to play for any length of time.

Frustrating, when things like camera angles get in your way the game starts to loose any fun that you may have been having.

The environments are beautiful and highly detailed, also are the destructible elements like the vehicles, trees and newspaper stands.

It stars popular characters, makes good use of music and sound effects, and has a lot of gameplay variety. Add those things together with some nice looking graphics, and you've got a solid title.

While Nightshade does have its positives, they are far outweighed by the negatives. The hours of frustration because of the difficulty made me want to pull my hair out times. It’s a shame too because this title had so much potential that it didn’t fulfill.

If you want to play some great classic arcade games, this is your game.

Pandora Tomorrow, when compared to most GBA ports of console games, is a triumph. You can tell that the developers really took the time to make a game that is worth playing, not just slapping a Splinter Cell label on a half-hearted game.

The Legends Tournament alone is reason to own NBA Jam.

The environments are beautiful and highly detailed, also are the destructible elements like the vehicles, trees and newspaper stands.

If you own a DS, buy it. If there is a gaming bone in your body, you will be more than happy with the purchase. I don’t know if I would call Lost Magic a system seller, but put the game together with the new DS Lite and you’ve got a pretty compelling argument.

The levels, though beter designed this time around, still aren’t interesting enough to enjoy playing through.

In the end, Juiced may go down as a great rental, and a solid racing game. But otherwise it falls into the background as just another underground racing game.

Aside from the huge disappointment from multi-player and the long load times from levels, the game is great.

If you have one of the other games in the series, and you're not a die-hard Hunter: The Reckoning fan, you probably don't need this game. Unless you feel the need to play through a different story, you'll pretty much have the same experience as you did with the other games, but with worse graphics.

While the game itself is short, the levels are pretty long; and there are no checkpoints at all! This is a massive pet peeve of mine.

With a little more work on reforming the look of the title, tightening up movement orders in the 3D environment, and finding an easier on the eye way of presenting all of the information they manage to do at one time, Squad Assault could develop into an impressive franchise.

This is such an improvement over "WWE Raw" it's not funny.

I was glad to see so many different modes, but the only two that were really worthwhile were Story and Memories. Add that to the shoddy graphics and terrible music, and you have a below average game.

If you like fast and furious shooters that are based on cool Anime flicks then this game should be just right up your alley.

No, the game doesn't look as good as a "SOCOM II," but the gameplay I think is pretty solid, and it's got some really good online play to it.

It takes everything you love about "Grand Theft Auto," and adds gameplay to it...[but] I simply can't get into [the PC version] when you don't even have a choice to use a controller. So I am sticking with my console versions for now.

If you're above the age of 13, you may find this game extremely boring, and somewhat lackluster. It's got the makings of a fun-filled 3D fighting game, but it just unfortunately doesn't deliver like it should.

The arcade controller is really cool, and the tunes are jammin. The only big issue with the game I have is it's difficulty. You get a little into the game and it just gets too hard to play.

A great squad based title that sparks enough nostalgia to pay homage, but strikes out in new territory to possibly restablish the original mismanaged franchise. UFO: Aftermath has some of the best combat and control systems seen in games of this type over the last year.

It's not groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be. Kids don't care about that. They care about having fun playing it, and I think that is where Activision has succeeded here.

If you are looking for a game to play for a few minutes when you get home from work to blow off some steam without asking you to think or work to hard, then this might just be a game for you. However, if you want a game that will push your skills to the limit, then you will quickly get bored with this game.

It has the great gameplay from the original, a new story more, and still looks great. But yanking out the big online feature that made me jump for joy, I can't give the game the same score.

It is by far the best Harry Potter game made to date.

With some tweaks, this could become a heavyweight in the rhythm game jungle.

In some areas, the graphics rival that of the PS2 version. Spider-Man looks sharp, the cut-scenes are cool, and the environments are nicely done. In addition to looking good, the game also runs very smoothly.

Even though the computer is cheap, the actual gameplay and physics are outstanding, and there are a ton of ways to play the game. And hello....online pool?

I almost fell asleep playing it because it was just too easy. But, it does have some very nice online play. Too bad you have to unlock planes in the Campaign mode to play them online.

A marvelous example of great graphics and sound bundled with a great storyline.

This game just came out of nowhere and impressed me. While I am not the biggest X-Files fan on the planet, I still very much enjoyed the game.

The Legends Tournament alone is reason to own NBA Jam.

It looks fantastic! But it plays just ok. There's nothing in the gameplay that jumps out at me and says "play me for months".

Despite Outlaw series games not being exactly the model of authenticity when it comes to sports games, they know how to make a fun game. Tennis is no exception. The issues I take with the repetitive animations, sound and the ball physics, are really minor when it comes to these games.

Though this is a nice city building game it lacks enough to make it stand out from the crowd from other city builders, especially from other ancient city building games.

It is by far the best Harry Potter game made to date.

It's definitely the best PS2 Tennis game out there. But if you already own the Xbox game there's really no reason to switch.

While a lot of good ideas went into Batman: ROTS, the execution turned Batman goodness into controller-throwing-near-DVD-in-the-microwave frustration.

Bottom line, this game was simply too short. It really felt like I was playing half a game, and essentially, I was. The two games really should have been put together in my opinion, and had the player alternate levels with Spyro and Crash.

It looks fantastic! But it plays just ok.

Same old flawed fielding and the same old cheesy play against the computer. Couple that with some problems in the graphic department that actually affect the gameplay, and not having up-to-date rosters makes this not the Baseball game for you.

Of all three Midway Arcade Treasures games, this is the one that probably has the most amount of games you won't want to play for any length of time.

A great game for the kids, or maybe just the kids at heart.
