    It has longevity, charm, and controls that endure the wild departure from traditional platformers and make a highly enjoyable game. It comes highly recommended.

    Despite its flaws, Topsy Turvy delivers, as usual, a fun, innovative Nintendo-published adventure.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    A must own title for your Game Boy Advance. It's the perfect traveling game even though the story mode is over quickly.

    The same excellent play mechanics remain from Donkey Konga, but replay value is severely marred by the inferior quality of the soundtrack.

    As a fan of brawlers and Star Wars, I loved this game. The space combat offers a bit of variety to keep the casual gamer interested. The brawling portions are top notch, so fans of Golden Axe, the Turtles series, and the X-Men arcade game will be very pleased with the action in this title, especially if you’re a Star Wars fan.

    Most people will tell you to buy the DS version over the GBA version. I beg to differ. The GBA version is, in my opinion, fully equal to the DS version if not superior because you can play it on the big screen with the Game Boy Player, it has co-op multiplayer, it is cheaper, and, besides the space combat, it works the same as the DS version.

    This is one of the best games out on the DS right now, and the definitive version of the Puyo series to reach the states, though the Japan-only Puyo Puyo Party for Dreamcast still holds the title of best Puyo period.

    It has some new twists unfamiliar to puzzle enthusiasts, but nothing so raw or innovative as to really put it a cut above its brethren.

    Nintendo hit one out of the ballpark here. All DS owners should also own Polarium. My question: why was it not included with the system?

    If you really must have your poker in video game form, several online gambling sites offer free poker games for users to test out. These are both terrific and cheaper alternatives to this overpriced title.

    The entire time I played the game, I wondered why it didn't compel me as much as I knew such a well-designed game should. I have come to the conclusion that it is because I've seen three of these games in the last couple of years.

    Besides being on the dull side, the game unquestionably offers the player quite a bit of unlockable items, extras, and mini-games to mess around with.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Although it could have been a lot more with an extensive single player mode, the current build is brilliantly done for a high-score-setter.

    • 90 Critic Score
    The game is one of Nintendo's many hits, if not a masterpiece.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Barely missed becoming the first must-have title for the DS. It is however, the best game that honestly requires the touch screen to play and the first game that really shows that the touch screen is not a gimmick.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    As fertile a ground as the flight combat genre is for quality gameplay, this falls short of the target. Even more depressing is that this was a franchise that in the previous generation was considered an A-List series, but now is a strictly average game.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The pinnacle of virtual basketball.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 99 Critic Score
    More than a game, it's an experience that cannot be missed. This is the masterpiece that is Resident Evil 4.

    The postman often getting in my way in running around Hyrule Town was a minor annoyance.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The lack of animation leaves the game high and dry at times.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The variety in creating your Ping Pal is immense and chatting with your friends hasn’t been this fun since AIM.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While this game has more single player potential than some other DS puzzlers, it lacks the multiplayer fun of titles like Bomberman DS and Puyo Pop Fever.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    In a business full of cheap knock-offs and umpteenth sequels, where a recognizable title or endorsement can make games instant best-sellers, Alien Hominid is a diamond in the rough. Highly recommended.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Rogue Agent doesn't really break any new ground in the FPS genre, other than allowing you to duel wield any combination of single-handed weapons you wish, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game either.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    With a huge adventure that will take dozens of hours to complete, along with 36 different mini-games and single-card multiplayer, Super Mario 64 DS is easily the best title on the Nintendo DS right now.

    Fails to be entertaining in every category.

    A more than worthy sequel to VJ.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It utilizes the DS touch screen feature well, although the full power of the DS’s resources isn’t fully expressed. While it may not be as in-depth as its console counterparts are, the DS version does a decent job of representing itself.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    There are just too many glaring problems that would make this game recommendable to anyone but the most faithful of Madden fanatics.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Asphalt Urban GT doesn't participate in much of the innovation that makes the DS special, but oddly enough, it's still a fun racer that offers some very cool multiplayer features.
