    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.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    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.

    There is some refreshing additions to gameplay, but the replay value is diminishing as this game gets older... It's old yet somewhat refreshing.

    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.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.

    Graphics wise this game is merely OK, but let’s face it, what kind of graphics does a dodge ball game really need?
    • 79 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    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.

    Unfortunately, there are major problems in the gameplay that will make just about any player go on strike.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    My main gripe is the lack of a batter-save and there really is no excuse for its absence.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A game that definitely gets old quick.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    A fun game that's worth a play through but is brought down by a lack of variety in the game play.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A tedious adventure ridden with pointless, almost "Resident Evil"-esque puzzles.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Good fighting, awesome link up features, and incentives to keep playing, it's just not Mortal Kombat.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unfortunately Knuckles/Rogue gameplay, camera problems, some sound problems and limited replay value hurt the game in the long run.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A solid game that might not make enough use of the license in terms of plot and overall presentation, but it’s certainly fun and there are a wide variety of obstacles and environments throughout the game although much of it may be frustrating.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    As I kept playing it got boring, but worse, it got cheap.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's not bad, it's just too short and without enough substance.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Linear and repetitive gameplay, inferior hit detection, and unattractive visuals makes a good deal of this title difficult to go through even once.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The franchise has become an exercise in monotony.
