Big Red One's personalized storytelling and scene delivery by reputable actors succeed in creating a movielike experience, but the linear, heavily scripted gameplay suffers as a result. [Feb 2006, p.102]- Nintendo Power

Even the classic "TMNT: Turtles in Time" bonus arcade game doesn't run as smoothly as it should. [Jan 2006, p.114]- Nintendo Power

When it's at its best, Spartan offers an unparalleled sense of size and scope. Some of the environments are truly massive, and even with over a hundred soldiers on screen at once, the frame rate remains consistently smooth. [Nov 2005, p.108]- Nintendo Power

It's the work of masters at the height of their craft. [Dec 2005, p.118]- Nintendo Power

The story is well-told, but the still-shot cinematics don't look like they belong with the rest of the game. [Dec 2005, p.122]- Nintendo Power
-

The level design is mostly bland, the controls aren't as tight as they should be. [Dec 2005, p.120]- Nintendo Power

A great curiosity for a day, but it's not a place you'd want to stay. [Jan 2006, p.114]- Nintendo Power

A fully realized and well-tuned hybrid of pinball play and Metroid Prime atmosphere, and it sets the bar high for other pinball-action games to come. [Dec 2005, p.109]- Nintendo Power

The game's not too much to look at andmost of the track designs are pretty uninspired. [Dec 2005, p.120]- Nintendo Power

It does mark a departure, adding light RPG elements to the isometric-adventure style seen on the GBA. [Dec 2005, p.112]- Nintendo Power

Though playing through the main story doesn't take nearly as long as I'd like, level replays plus a two-player sabotage mode (two DS cards needed) lengthen gameplay. [Dec 2005, p.122]- Nintendo Power

This game brings nothing worth mentioning to the franchise, and almost feels like a step backward. [Jan 2006, p.116]- Nintendo Power

A pocket gizmo offers minor card-management improvements and new minigames, but the changes don't justify the purchase for casual Duel Masters fans. [Dec 2005, p.122]- Nintendo Power

Chicken Little isn't a bad game at all, and fans of the film will probably gobble it up. [Dec 2005, p.114]- Nintendo Power

It takes what was great from the Underground games and strips out all the lame antics. [Dec 2005, p.115]- Nintendo Power

The battle system and story are the bread and butter of the game, and they are executed flawlessly. Intelligent Systems has created a masterpiece with Path of Radiance. It sets a new standard for Fire Emblem as the title that future games in the series will be tested by. [Nov 2005, p.110]- Nintendo Power
