Unlike the AI, the graphics and sound are pretty good.

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.

Despite its admirable music and noteworthy play control, Pac 3 is too bland for the common gamer to take notice. It's pleasant for a while, but you'll quickly grow tired of it.

It's one huge adventure with thirty-two levels in all, making it longer than many Gamecube games.

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.

It has everything that I could possibly want all bundled up in one nice little package: an epic quest, beautiful graphics, great music, and puzzles around every turn... It truly is that marvelous.

The graphics engine developed for Dark Arena is something I never expected to see on the GBA. It seems that the more developers that dig into the hardware, the more impressive it gets.

Overall, you’ll find yourself playing all day, wanting to reach 100% in each level. And you'll have a fun time doing it, too.

Would I be getting a great classic Mega Man game with minimal Role Playing Game elements, or would I get more of a true Battle Network type game? I was quite satisfied to find out that this game has a near perfect balance of both.

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

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.

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.

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.

If the graphics were reverted to the Game Boy look, people wouldn't notice the difference.

Simply put, the graphics are disappointing.

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.

Take decent sound and graphics, and inject unoriginal platforming with a kid’s license and you have Dinotopia.

The best experience you’ll have in this game is the multiplayer mode, which I played for literally hours on end.

I can see some 15 year old playing the game hidden away in their parent’s basement enjoying it for its lewdness, but for the rest of us you’d never want to play this game at all. Not quite as bad as "BMX XXX," but around the same level.

"It wants to be Castlevania." The double-jump, the wall-jump, double-click dash, the save-monoliths, they’re all here.

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.

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

If you're not into the idea of constantly shooting and blowing stuff up, this may not be the game for you. Up to this point I have used the word shooting sixteen times in this review, and there's a reason for that. That is the bulk of the game.

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

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.

My number one complaint is nothing is that exciting.

Like that hot popular girl in high school - gorgeous on the outside but no personality on the inside. Mario Pinball Land is just too generic, and though it has the Mushroom Kingdom cast supporting it the gameplay is fully capable of causing splitting headaches.

Simply put, there's just not much substance. Almost everything there is to experience can be found in the first couple of levels, and what little is added to the game later on certainly doesn't make it worth a play-through, much less a purchase.

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

Just be warned that it can get very frustrating.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While the gameplay was addicting and fun, the graphics and sound are where the games problems come in.

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

There are some noticeable flaws in the every department. For instance, in arcade mode there's one hard fighter and all the rest are fairly easy – I would have enjoyed more balance.

The presentation and effort are very respectable. The music is some of the best ever, but the gameplay is slow and highly un-original and sometimes downright stupid.

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.

And while playing with another person is a little livelier, the atrocious camera will soon make things more frustrating than fun.

If you pick up Kirby Air Ride expecting a great racing experience, you're not going to find it, go buy "F-Zero GX." The level themes seem more like platformer worlds than racing environments.

Gameplay is mildly entertaining at times, but gets repetitive quite often, and the clumsy controls are a pain to deal with, especially when precise jumps is required.

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

The game mechanics are fairly simple and the controls respond well enough; though I did find the dash ability a tad sensitive, often dashing into a bottomless pit when my intention was just to jump over them. All the levels are a simple “make your way from left to right” fare where you are occasionally locked within a screen-width section of the level and must kill a set number of enemies before progressing.

Right now, I don’t see any point in buying a couple of mediocre Genesis titles, and "Sonic Spinball" can be found for the Genesis for less than ten bucks.

Star X had a lot of promise – the game opened up superbly. But as the game went on – with twenty-three levels in all, I just didn’t feel like going on.

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

For the short time it lasts the game is a lot of fun and harkens back to the days of the classic 2D side-scrolling games.

With a high sense of speed, and a wide variety of gameplay, for the first time racing feels appropriate for the handheld scene. Aside from some frustrating traffic and driving issues, the graphics, controls, style and use of touch screen really brings out the best in this oft-mediocre driving series.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Although there’s no multiplayer, the replay value is durable, not to mention the nicely done graphics and the incredibly impressive sound.

Even though it’s very fun, it’s just over way too fast.

The rigid and debilitating controls work very much against the game. While it may be the prettiest soccer game on the Gamecube, it's not the best.

Though it lacks certain technical aspects that hard-core driving gamers may have come to expect, City Racer offers players from all walks of gaming genre a very inviting, as well as forgiving, chance to join in the video driving scene – a claim of which very few racers out there can boast.

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 straight hack and slash action title. Nothing more, nothing less...Quite simply, I love this game.

Graphics mean nothing without gameplay, and sadly this is what this game boils down to.

If you or someone you know is interested in Sonic Adventure DX please save my sanity and get "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle" instead.

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.

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."

Fans of "Power Stone" or "Smash Brothers" should especially be interested in the frantic battle action Gotcha Force has to offer.

The game is naturally fast paced, which only means it is more fun. You have to think fast and have good reflexes. Personally, I love the game.

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.

Even with my enjoyment of the movie, the game just didn't do anything for me. I was having so much fun playing "Burnout" and Italian Job just seemed to lack it.

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

It has just the right mix of challenge.

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

Super Bubble Pop will have you playing for hours and then some. It’s a simple yet compelling game filled with fun gameplay and gives you an overall addictive nature.

Short, but completing the game 100% was a challenge and the arcade mode was good as well.

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

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 has its moment’s graphics wise that make me wish they had done more right gameplay wise, but they didn’t, and in the end, it’s the gameplay that matters.

Not that bad. Salt Lake 2002’s main problem is in the number of events provided, as six just do not last long enough and the events do not really lend themselves for much replay value anyway.

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.

The gameplay is fun, yet control issues and repetitiveness really gets on your nerves after a few hours. The lack of extras also hurts the replay value in a major way.

The perfect example of a good game that just takes a bit too much from other games than it should.

You can tell this is a budget game through and through. There is no battery save, so your looking at a pass code system. Get your pad and paper ready.

The idea of taking hostages in a first person shooter is novel, and stealth also can be interesting. None of that negates the impact the auto-aim has on the game, or how frustrating the controls can be. Throw in the terrible graphics, the linear missions, and the lack of any sort of multiplayer and Die Hard Vendetta is one of the worse Gamecube FPS’s.

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.

Nothing on a technical level is incompetent in Britney’s Dance Beat, but nothing is done so well as to make it fun outside of its core audience.

Meets my expectations in many areas, but it completely fails when it comes to lastability.

It’s like that delicious piece of cake you receive at a party; scrumptious but anything but filling. Such is this, short indeed but an enjoyable experience while it lasts.

A simple button masher that I couldn't lose, unless I tried to by not attacking at all. This game isn't good in the least.

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.

Alhough the story mode levels are rather uninspired and the puzzles disasters, the tons of collectables and interesting (to say the least) storyline, paralleling characters in the show, will keep any young girl gamer who is a fan of the show more or less satisfied.

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

It is slow, annoying and simply boring.

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.

At its worst, Shadow is a solid platformer with enough fun to keep hardcore Sonic fans in one place for a few days. At its best, it's an engaging gameplay experience that isn't jaded by its otherwise glaring storyline-related setbacks.

It's a strange hybrid of game and cartoon, but my main problem is that is not quite either. There are sections of activity, followed by long periods of inactivity. If I were five, I reckon it would frustrate me. I'd want to watch or play, not both.

Sound for this game is very poor.

On one hand, you have gorgeous visuals, tense action-paced music, and a hefty single player mode (8 levels which should take you around 30 minutes to an hour each). However, the other side of the coin features linear missions, sloppy controls, framerate issues and an overall buggy design.
