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

    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.

    I just think that if they could have stepped up the difficulty and/or the AI a few notches, this one could have been really good.

    Cool things like split-screen graphics and a true story give way to a somewhat dull fighting system and graphics that don't quite cut the mustard.

    If you have always wanted to control a main unit on the battlefield in an RTS game then I recommend getting this title. If you are a die-hard RTS fan and you only want that then I have mixed feelings about this game for you.

    American SK8Land doesn't quite capture the magic of its console brethren.

    A pretty good platform game, but it really offers nothing new to the market.

    I can do without some of the Game Gear games in the collection, but to have Sonic CD once again just makes it worth having.

    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.

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

    This is an old school style RPG, those of you that enjoyed the old styles should grab a copy of this game. Those out there that enjoy overhead fast RPG’s should also give this game a shot.

    It lacked the punch that you need to have to compete in a post Halo, post Ubi-Soft FPS world. Definitely rent it first.

    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.

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

    The voice acting, graphics, use of IP (Intellectual Property), and special effects are all very nice...its too bad other things in the game distract me from truly enjoying this title.

    Unreal just doesn’t match the aura that "Unreal Championship" has.

    The game clocks in at only $20. That really is not bad for a game like this. I used to enjoy pinball when I was a child. And going back to something like this really brought back memories.

    A great game and I think it is safe to say that the long wait for a new Sonic game is finally over, and it was well worth the wait!

    This game is simply trying to cash into the Lord of the Rings franchise, so lets be smart enough and not fall for that old trick, just walk on buy this one on the store shelves.

    The game can be finished in 15 to 20 hours. Beating it will unlock the Hard mode for those who want abit more challenge.

    I had a fun time kicking Vampire, Wolf Man and Frankenstein booty all over Transylvania. The game is however bogged down by some camera angles and the game really would have benefitted if you could have been able to control the angles yourself.

    Although repetitive at times, it does provide a few hours of fun.

    If you’re looking for a great multiplayer experience for your DS in the here and now, you need look no further than Worms: Open Warfare.

    That's deep gameplay.

    It may not be the best looking game out there, but its style (tropical setting, sailing on the ocean) really gives you a break from the normal RPG’s where you dungeon crawl and climb countless mountains looking or a few dragons to slay.

    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.

    "WSOP" has a better Career mode than this game, and faster gameplay. But WPT has a better online mode, and slightly better computer AI.

    It’s a great pick-up-and-play title, and it’s got a Tetris-quality addiction factor.

    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.
