It would almost be a extraordinary game to play if only it weren't for the game's bouncy difficulty levels, slightly sluggish gameplay when groups of enemies are present and the requirement of all players having separate game cards.

On paper, Narnia could have been so much more, but the predictable and often annoying gameplay mechanics, combined with unpolished presentations and weak sound effects take away from the overall experience.

A short game. It has its flaws, but it can be an enjoyable title, if only for a little while, and the price is a little cheaper than other titles coming out this holiday season.

A must for hardcore Mario buffs, as well as those GameCube owners dying to get on the Dance Dance bandwagon.

If you can't sit down with three other friends, don't bother, but I'll tell you right now this kicks the pants out of "Mario Kart: Double Dash!!" - yes, you heard me.

A fun game that's worth a play through but is brought down by a lack of variety in the game play.

It's a youthful and entertaining way to fill some time; I happily played through it while doing laundry the other day and found that time just flew by.

A great experience for a niche crowd, but you'll just have to figure out for yourself whether or not you're part of that niche.

Donkey Konga 2's main mode Street Performance is just as fun as the original's, even though it has no good music what-so-ever (well, not counting the REM songs).

It's too frustrating for an eleven year old and too mindless for anyone older, so it's hard to tell exactly who this game is for or even why it was made in the first place.

If you’re a fan of brain teasers, then the game’s 100 puzzles are definitely worth the price of admission (even though it is a little steep). If, on the other hand, you tend to enjoy the more traditional puzzle games that involve making falling objects disappear, you might want to skip Polarium.

Combine the lack of utilization of the DS’ unique capabilities and any improvements over the original with sloppy graphics, horrid controls, and a dreadful save feature, and the Rayman name begins a steady decline into mediocrity with this title.

Feels too much like the average cart racer. And the fact that you take hold of a plane rather then a cart is entertaining, but still doesn't feel any different, and has just as many boundries (and some odd ones at that).

A mildly amusing game that half-heartedly struggles to maintain the feel of its predecessor while still maintaining an air of uniqueness. It'll definitely serve to entertain, though those who haven't played the original game may be a little lost.

It just doesn't feel like the same series we've come to know, and follows the traits of similar action games of today, rather then the simple style to that of our yester years. It has its fair share of problems sure, but still remains fun.

While the graphics (or lack thereof) may be a turn off, solid gameplay and storylines free from excessive details help keep Dawn of Souls from derailing like so many RPGs out there today.

To be blunt, if you played this game to death on the Super Nintendo, there really is no convincing reason to revisit it on the GBA. The bonus levels don't give it enough of a rationale to verify a purchase. With no multiplayer and literally no replay value, you'll be done with this game within a day if you try.

Not enough work was put in to the GCN version, which only helps to hinder a game that is ultimately mediocre in its execution anyway.

Climax Studios restricted themselves too much by maintaining this old style though; gorgeous environments fall short of their potential and elements to enhance gameplay were intentionally left out, and yet with more of a negative result than their exclusion from original games back in the day.

The hit or miss of long-range weapons is a back breaker, especially in the single player against a computer opponent that knows how to judge everything perfectly.

It’s not the worst game I’ve ever played in my life; in fact, it’s fairly decent, but it’s just so disappointing. Like all Nintendo gamers, I had high hopes for this game and we got a totally half-assed game.

It can be fun, quick, breathtaking, and all sorts of great things. However, the bad control problems pop up too often, and just ruin the entire experience. It comes down to five or ten minutes of great gameplay ruined by the game not working where and when it should.

Little variety in the gameplay coupled with a mere four hour timespan would probably make Max Payne a bad idea for a purchase, but if you can find it cheap, it's decent fun.

The game isn’t fun to play, which is the only really glaring problem with it...It needs more polished mechanics, enhanced physics, and overall better ideas.

It's the same thing that has been on a couple of different consoles. If you only played the original Code: Veronica, the only thing that X offers you is some new storyline elements and a few extra cut-scenes. However, if you've never played this game before, you should really give it a shot.

Decent as a virtual pet game, but anyone over the age of seven will get bored fast so matter how much they enjoy Pokemon.

Seems like a step back for the franchise. XG3 had a weapon system based on powerups that were bought, XGRA is sort of random. The tracks don't entice the way XG3's did either.

Even with less than average graphics the basic gameplay wasn't too hard and it would prove easy for kids to get into playing as Bugs and Daffy.

The graphics system works, not too well, but every level is playable and enjoyable if it weren’t for having to start over completely after each life.

I’ve never seen better vocal acting and cut-scenes in a videogame. It’s just like the cartoon show, only more mature.

The game itself is fun, but after a while the excitement fades and all that remains is a soccer game that you might pull out every once in a while for a quick Exhibition run.

It may not be the best stealth game out there, and some weird control issues hold Rogue Ops back from being all it could be, but Nikki passes her first real mission.

A slow-moving game. Most of everything you do in it is platform jumping and the jumping is not exact enough. It was also tiresome; I didn’t want to have to do any part of the level over.

Starts by presenting a strong mood and setting, but the feeling wears off soon. The best ideas for rooms and puzzles seem to be used at the beginning of the game, and everything comes together more suitably in the first half of the game.

Surprisingly one-dimensional in gameplay. The accelerator is the key to winning. I never caught on to the fun experience of the racing or strategy, if there is any in the game.

Able to separate itself form the pack through its simple control scheme and fast action gameplay. If you are looking for a racer for the kid who always crashes into the wall in other racing games, then Slot Car Thunder is the perfect choice.

The missions do get repetitive, what there is to do outside of the main story missions are the same race and collection in every level, and the controls are somewhat loose.

Not the greatest adventure experience, and some shoddy controls make platforming sections a real nuisance.

The levels are entertaining to a degree, and retain interest for most of the game, but when inching towards the end with only two or so bosses remaining it becomes a chore that isn’t as rewarding as the work put forth to finish.

Good fighting, awesome link up features, and incentives to keep playing, it's just not Mortal Kombat.

It is simply not fun...and what pains me even more is that the dog-fighting mechanics could easily have made this an amazing game!

In creating only six levels they decided to make this path system that actually frustrated me in the Fairy Woods level where "many paths look the same and you don’t want to get lost."

There’s something about driving around Springfield as Grounds Keeper Willie. He’s mega-awesome and anyone who disagrees is just lying to themselves.

It's not bad, it's just too short and without enough substance.

The level design becomes ho-hum after a few levels and there isn’t anything in the gameplay that breaks up all the sameness of it.

As I kept playing it got boring, but worse, it got cheap.

Perhaps the best aspect of the game is that you will care a lot about collecting treasure.

The game could be better if the control were tighter and some of those driving missions were more fun, but for what it is Enter The Matrix is enjoyable for all the right reasons.

If it really was designed with the younger gamer in mind, the excessively long load times should really have been minimized. If the slightly older sibs/parents were also the intended audience, some more button controls during both the 3d and side-scrolling sequences would have been very much appreciated.

The courses don’t strike me as highly creative, and there aren’t any things like shortcuts. Tube Slider isn’t an impressive game, but there is still quality that can be found in it.

Just be warned that it can get very frustrating.

I’m not saying Catch a Ride is bad, because it does the best job that Crazy Taxi could possibly do on a Game Boy. There are just certain places that the GBA should not go, and a full-out 3D port of a 128-bit game is one of them.

Just a slightly above-average, simple platformer containing Disney characters.

A surprisingly decent game. But that’s what it is: decent. It’s not magnificent on any account, but it’s not horrible. It just fails to utilize any of its franchise’s qualities.

A painful experience.

The majority of the famous Muppets were used for the game and password save is not a big deal with just a few letters or numbers to remember.

The gameplay here sucks. It is heinous, hideous, and despicable. The game's presentation, though, does shine through and makes the game bearable.

No fun to play, no fun to watch, and no fun to listen to.

A game that has aged and rusted, some visual and technical enhancements would have raised the game value.

It simply does not capture the spirit of the Daredevil character and his universe.

The career is extremely short and can be beaten quickly.

A mediocre fighting game. The unique battle system simply does not make up for the short and simple gameplay.

I usually love kid's games, but this one was an exercise in monotony. I really had no desire to keep going.

Linear and repetitive gameplay, inferior hit detection, and unattractive visuals makes a good deal of this title difficult to go through even once.

Jango Fett is quite possibly my favorite character in the current trilogy, and I think it was an absolute genius idea to formulate a game around him... The game, on the other hand, just kind of wallows in mediocrity.

Too short and not enough fun to be recommended for anymore than a desperate rent. You might find it entertaining for a short time if you are a huge fan of Donald.

It has some solid aspects, but tedium just overcomes whatever satisfaction I could have garnered.

A slightly frustrating and resolutely average game which does nothing to capitalize on its source material or distinguish itself from other games, and displays worrying signs of rushed development and technical inadequacy.

There is immense replay value, as the game contains 27 levels, and you can re-enter area once you’ve already completed them, should you desire to.

A tedious adventure ridden with pointless, almost "Resident Evil"-esque puzzles.

The days of a simple beat-em-up being acceptable passed with the Double Dragon franchise on the NES. Nowadays, this simply won't do.

With how quick the missions move, the whole thing gets glazed over. Having the graphics of the Xbox game could have really benefited this port. Multiplayer mode does not save the title, only hurts its image.

Nothing special, and unless you really want to try out the arcade mode and multiplayer mode, you should stay out of the way of this one.

A good looking, mediocre title that, though fun in a few respects, will only impress fans of the show. If you're into the cartoon, and enjoy its humor, you'll find a lot of fun in this licensed title.

A mixed bag with some really awesome levels and gameplay; yet it has bland graphics and music.

If not for the accursed password system, the wonky controls, and collecting, I would've said, "Great job."

One boring and frustrating game... The controls and sheer monotony simply ruin the game.

The franchise has become an exercise in monotony.

It's not the deepest game out there; in fact, it has almost no depth whatsoever. It's all about violence and action, and fortunately for BloodRayne it is successful in delivering some good action.

It’s simple enough to come back to and won’t boggle you down with controls, but at the same time if you play long enough you’ll become bored.

The Arrangements could have had much better graphics and the sound in the Arrangements is absolutely horrid.

A little bit more polish would have helped this game considerably, but right now in its current form it more than satisfies my craving for devastation.

The worst part of the sound, though, is the soundtrack.

Street mode play feels like the same thing over and over again, and the franchise mode also lacks spice. It’s hard to play this game and have unique experiences.

Gets very boring after a while. There isn’t enough strategy or different battle methods to keep most people interested.

I don’t particularly understand the reasoning behind selling this as a standalone game.

With some poor attempts to capitalize on the extreme sports genre, Beach Bandits doesn't have a whole lot to offer, even for the younger gamers this game was intended for.

There just seems to be something empty in the gameplay. The fighting does not seem solid, and the tournament is less than exciting.

The straightforward nature of the levels begs for more openness, which isn't available. It was fun while it lasted, but even that wasn't that long.

The execution just wasn’t there. The entire game seemed to walk across the line between mediocre and good. The gameplay, while having the right concept, just isn’t as fun as it might have been.

Camera problems and lack of opponents turned me away from the overall good gameplay.

The experience was a mixed bag because it was loads of fun with all the different weapons, but yet again, the really annoying respawning of soldiers will turn off many gamers.

The developer’s weariness with the franchise was accentuated by the drastic difference in quality between the flight and ground missions. The actual shooting in this FPS is only half complete, and it was greatly overshadowed by the in-game flying.

There was certainly enough material to make Kong a perfectly decent ‘me too’ platformer, but apparently gameplay wasn’t the focus during development.

A game that definitely gets old quick.

Disappointing considering NHL Hitz has a solid franchise mode where you can build a team from the ground up, and then play a series of games against other fantasy teams and eventually real NHL teams.

Like the difference between a fight in real-life (scrappy, brawling, inelegant) and a fight from your favourite movie (balletic, graceful, dynamic), buy this if you like to see two blokes battering each other into submission. If you like a bit of style, skill and excitement with your violence, don't bother.

Sound for this game is very poor.
