    Gameplay has always been the staple of a good Soccer game, and when playing against the computer, FIFA '06 just doesn't have it like "FIFA 2005" did.

    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.

    This version seems even less interactive than the original. So for those of you, who got bored with the first, stay away.

    A little late, but still a good game. But, it's not a game where you must rush out to go buy it now. Unfortunately, it doesn't compare to the games that are out these days.

    What happens when a game does all of the little things right, but doesn't deliver much in the gameplay department? That's exactly what happened with Cars.

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

    A good, solid foundation was laid to make this a good portable fighter, but there wasn’t enough to back it up.

    The enemies all come from the same place with the same weapons and in the same numbers, leaving little room for surprise or suspense on a second play through.

    This is one of those games when you're looking to blow off some steam or feel the need for some senseless violence, you can run to your local game rental shop and pick up for the weekend.

    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.

    But it's a general rule that when you knock down your opponent, you should be able to stomp on them, pin them, or something like that. Well, not here. Unless you actually knock your opponent down and stun them, you can't grab them or anything until they get back up on their own.

    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.

    Graphics are not very great though, and coming from Sega I was very disappointed. Also I wish that you could have been able to do more as well in terms of gameplay.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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).

    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.

    The game does little to add to the original title.

    The game starts out fun, but after awhile it can become very boring.

    If you already have any zoo games, you can just skip this one, as it does little to add to the genre so it is not a “must have”.

    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.

    The graphics are somewhat weak in this game.
    • 59 Metascore

    Just not as good as I hoped. And not having online gameplay is a big big big issue for me.

    Given all its shortcomings this is not a title that I will be shouting about from the mountaintop.

    Even with the painfully long load screens and the lags in the game play I still enjoy this game.

    So, why will this game stay in my rotation? Simple. I will keep playing this game for the sole reason that you can play up to 5 person multiplayer with just one game card.
