The game could have been a tad longer and used more of the cartoon characters. This game will take an average gamer about five hours to beat and probably a bit more with some replay value.

It features five great sonic games, and Sega can be excused for including two mediocre titles.

If there’s anything to complain about regarding the on-foot missions, it’s their embarrassing simplicity...but it’s pretty much unanimous that the flight missions and multiplayer are top notch.

Aesthetic beauty aside, Feel the Magic is a clear-cut winner in this pond of first generation launch titles. It's a nice little challenge with a well-permeated concept, which will be something you, your friends and your family will be able to pick up and play at any given moment well into the DS's lifespan.

It has great new features like instant replay, swinging on poles, punks who control the park and of course the music is totally revolutionary.

With the game’s inherent frustration factor, Bomberman Max 2 will be a game players return to once in a while and just pick up and play for a little while.

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

Where the game sells the most are the mini-games like chase and atlasphere – they are really unique and exciting to play.

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

Even my friends, those who hate anime with a burning passion have found love in this cel-shaded action game. Definitely the best mech game in existence.

The camera hampers the experience considerably, but the fun of the main game itself is still there.

With Killer 7, Mr. Suda has taken the classic adventure genre, injected it with an incredible amount of hallucinogens, and put his own stamp on Capcom's classic design philosophy. It's a mad world in there; are you mad enough to enter?

It lasts for about 6-10 hours, but it’s an interesting game and you will want to play it over.

There's no limit to the replay value here, unless you just flat out don't like the game or its multiplayer mode.

Improves in mostly all aspects of the original but the game is aging and better series are emerging to compete with MTO and THQ’s.

In the end any substantial complaints I have regarding Spryo: Season of Ice are centered on the fact that current platformers have turned into giant scavenger hunts. Those may be fun but I’ve had my fill already.

The type of game that knows what it wants to be (a "Goldeneye" clone) and doesn't really try to do anything else. In the end, it still comes out as a really good game that's fun to play with storyline is second to none.

If you really dig "SSX though," you might not take too kindly to 1080. If you’re just somebody wanting to have a little fun from time to time, 1080 is your game. Unfortunately, like most racing games, it can be mastered rather quickly.

Aesthetically, the game carries over the same visual style seen in Yoshi’s Island except that now the colors are more solid and the environment less sketchy.

It is the best 2D Frogger out there so far. The gameplay is up-to-date and addictive.

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.

Technically, the game is shoddy. While most of the vehicle models are good, the same cannot be said about the rest of the graphics. The environments are simple and uninteresting, draw distance on some levels is short and the texture quality is below average.

A solid, fun military war game. The game is nice and challenging, whether in single player or multi-player. For those who like to play games with friends, and not just against them, the co-op mode is amazing and worth taking advantage of.

A fun, original platformer that introduces some fun things to the genre, that, if explored more deeply in a sequel, could put the game up there with the best.

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.

Lost Expedition suffers a bit because there isn’t much to make it stand out from other games in the genre, but it is still a fun ride for the ten hours it lasts and even includes the first two Pitfall games as a bonus.

Unfortunately Knuckles/Rogue gameplay, camera problems, some sound problems and limited replay value hurt the game in the long run.

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.

I love the variety of choice in the matches, but I hated the grapple-controls.

Acclaim did a good job fixing much of the problems of "All-Star Baseball 2003" with this year’s version, but they added very little to the series.

Probably the best compilation I have ever seen.

I love the way Vicarious Visions does this beginning level as a training level to get you used to the gameplay a bit and then each level progresses slowly with more difficulty.

A beautiful, fast-paced, fun game that can be recommended to all fans of role-playing games. It may not be the best RPG on Game Boy Advance, but it is certainly in the upper echelon of the genre.

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.

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.

An awesome pickup for any Yu-Gi-Oh! fan.

It’s the best golf game I’ve ever played, and with all the extras, I’m sure to be playing it for many months to come.

I cannot stress the genius of the game’s real-time, party based combat, which offers a far more satisfying combat play than the "Aidyn Chronicles" could ever achieve.

Another solid FPS GBA game that has great multiplayer modes and twenty-two intense and varied levels.

I stand in absolute awe of how underrated F1 2002 is.

I was certainly interested and entertained, but I just felt more could have been given to you.

But if you're not a diehard fan of history or just don't like the sound of this game you won't like it and I wouldn't suggest it.

This is one of the most addictive games I've played in recent years.

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.

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.

If you have a DS, find a way to procure this game. You will find yourself mesmerized in a way that is profound, delightful and extremely satisfying. [JPN Import]

A must buy for any Spongebob crazed fan and anybody who likes decent platform games.

While there are only eight levels and gameplay could be more polished (such as improved enemies and a worthwhile Multiplayer mode), Nanostray still offers everything you could expect from a shooter.

It's dramatic and overdone in typical Burton style. You can continue where you last saved or simply quit, but I'd recommend letting Jack die at least once just so that you can witness how cool it looks.

If you want your games to be more accessible and action-oriented, then you'd be better off sticking with "Episode 1 & 2"...If you're looking for a new challenge, or you just want a solid and surprisingly deep strategy-RPG experience, Episode 3 is for you.

The game’s formula is basically this: grow, attack, mate, grow, attack, mate, grow… and, well you get the picture. Sometimes fighting can simply get old after a while. But besides that this game is absolutely amazing.

Anybody who loves platforming will like this game. But I’ll warn you that the platforming is a difficult challenge at times, and the final boss is one of the hardest I've met since maybe Jet Force Gemini.

Making a game that requires the user to move a cube in all directions with a D-pad is tough. This causes a major flaw in the control scheme.

I cannot recommend this game due to its poor graphics, side scrolling glitches, bizarre gameplay, and mediocre ... well, everything.

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

The game may be boring for the casual strategy fan, and may not have enough depth for the hardcore strategy fan so it hits that horrible middle point that most companies strive to avoid.

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.

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

I said it before and I’ll say it again, this is the best Nickelodeon game ever.

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

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.

The franchise has become an exercise in monotony.

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

An absolutely amazing achievement.

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

A fun but short adventure that is worthy of a rental.

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.

The career is extremely short and can be beaten quickly.

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

Remember the 30 day time limit in the original Pikmin and how amazingly stressful that was? Well picture that and multiply it by five. I almost felt like I was baby sitting and not getting paid. Boring, frustrating gameplay that will leave you in tears of anger.

Fans of any Disney Princess will adore the game, provided that they are newer to the world of video games.

In my opinion, ANY game that actually makes you want to see the movie and even read the books is a good one, and that game did just that.

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).

If you enjoyed the original Banjo-Kazooie games, you will enjoy Grunty's Revenge. If you didn't like the original games, you probably won't like Grunty's Revenge. It's that simple.

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.

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!

Adds a few nice modes to the Mario Party series, but if you already own "Mario Party 4" there is absolutely no reason to upgrade.

Not only does this game offer probably the best multiplayer Game Boy experience since "The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords," but the story mode, challenge mode, and excellent gameplay make it a great single player experience as well.

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.

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.

In the end the Scooby Doo license is well served.

I can't say enough about Jazz Jackrabbit on the GBA. Jaleco and Game Titan have created a brand new experience while still keeping Jazz's classic gameplay intact.

If you’re a Medal of Honor fan, it’s a must have, although I would be prepared for a little disappointed. If you’re an FPS fan, there are probably better games out there for you, but if you’re not big on strategy, then it’s definitely worth a shot.

A significant improvement over the original. The game is longer, the quests are more varied, and the game looks a lot prettier.

Definitely a unique action-hero game that has Mega Man/Bob SNES qualities and style of gameplay. It can rival some of the better-known superhero GBA games on the market today.

The amount of events available makes for a busy amount of things to do, with a great multiplayer mode to complement it. The control can sometimes be a bit tight though.

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).

The selling point is the automatic save system. You can play as long as you want, and you won’t miss anything important and can’t cheat in your business.

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

It's a throwback to days gone by and is successful in what it sets out to do. It's a fun game overall, where thinking comes second and blowing the aliens away is the primary goal.

While this addition to the Star Fox universe is a blast, it is just too short. Added to that problem are others such as shoddy voice work and horrible sound mixing.

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.

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

By taking a lighthearted and cartoony approach to a genre of games that was previously untouched by such antics, Poponchi succeeds in providing an altogether refreshing gameplay experience for those who are tired of the traditional elements of skateboarding games.

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.

There may be some people in this world who revel in this degree of complexity, but the rest of us mere mortals may wish for something a little less taxing.

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.

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.
