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.- Next Level Gaming

If I had to pick between the Game Boy Advance version and the DS version, I would have to pick this one. It may be $10 more but it has more bells and whistles and looks better.- Next Level Gaming

The graphics aren't fabulous, and the camera angle & constant backtracking tend to be a bit tedious. However, the authenticity of Scobby-Doo and the gang of Mystery, Inc. makes it worth at least at glance.- Next Level Gaming

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.- Next Level Gaming

It looks and plays very well. The big problem with Rumble Roses is the lack of depth. No real deep story mode, and really only two match types.- Next Level Gaming

If you are looking at making the game even more authentic, you can play the entire game in Latin. You can either use this to help hone your Latin skills or if you are just going for something different.- Next Level Gaming

An average card-based game, much like the last 800 Yu-Gi-Oh! games for the Game Boy Advance. If you are a big fan of the cartoon series and you collect the cards then you should not be disappointed.- Next Level Gaming

Gretzky NHL 2005 has taken a giant step forward from previous "FaceOff" games, but it is still falls way short of the competition. With two solid hockey titles already out, Gretzky just doesn't offer anything different to make it worth a purchase.- Next Level Gaming

But I can tell you that it's an upgrade from the Xbox version, as it should be. It looks better, and it plays better now that the fielding works correctly now.- Next Level Gaming

The Xbox is so capable of performing graphics that could blow these out of the water. There is so much to like about this game, but people are going to be turned off by how bad these graphics have made a downgrade from its PC brother.- Next Level Gaming

There's a lot of good special effects like detailed explosions, missle trails, other giant ships and huge planets you have to fly near and around. And there are some great cutscenes using both the game engine and pre-rendered CGI to help move the storyline along.- Next Level Gaming

The simplistic gameplay and controls make it easy to pick the game up and play without frustration. Because the gameplay is so simplistic, Grabbed by the Ghoulies risks growing old quickly on some people.- Next Level Gaming

The reason I am giving Spider-Man 2 an average score is because of the shabby 3D graphics and the fact that the controls can get shabby from time to time and leaving you very frustrated.- Next Level Gaming

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 others will run at you with their bayonettes pointed, which will damage you.- Next Level Gaming

My other major complaint about the game is with the difficulty levels. The difficulty levels are fairly lopsided, Easy is too easy for someone who has played any other dance games, Medium is a huge jump up from it, and I was really not ready for it, then there is the hard setting which is just crazy.- Next Level Gaming

There aren't a whole lot of games out there that you can just throw into your PS2 or Xbox and start hacking away at things. "Hunter: The Reckoning" is one, but how many other can truly "get medevil" on your ass? Looks like just one. But that is also something that can get old quickly.- Next Level Gaming

The problem is that you get thrown into the game with very little to work with. That would be fine if using the weapons weren't so freaking hard to do. Collision detection was not a big thought in this game, or at least it seemed to be an afterthought.- Next Level Gaming

A decent fighter, but it doesn’t really compare to the other 3D fighters that are out now. It looks real good, but it seems most of the effort was put in to the 3D conversion. This left other areas of the game to suffer.- Next Level Gaming

I appreciate that they expanded the tricks, and added some real players to the mix. And the new Gamebreaker is nice. But overall the trick controls are just as difficult, if not more, than the first game. And not having online gameplay is a big big big issue for me.- Next Level Gaming

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.- Next Level Gaming
