    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.

    With all that’s fantastic about the game I can’t overlook that it needed more polish, and for that reason I wouldn’t say it’s a must-have for those that played the original or still have a copy.

    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.

    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.

    From the particularly joyful vehicle chases, to your conniving ways of infiltrating, I am most gracious to you for giving me your secrets.

    The only real knock against it is its length. Coming in at four hours just does not cut it. There are multiple endings the higher the completion percentage, and the original Metroid for comparisons sake, but the brevity of the adventure hurts an otherwise great title.

    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.

    Playing NFL Street made me re-realize why I hated "Madden" so much. Arcade football is just more fun, plain and simple. And, on top of that, it offers quite the extensive one player mode that will keep players busy for months.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A culmination of intelligent programming, good game design and fun. The game is a technical marvel that must not only be seen, but heard.
    • 72 Metascore

    Probably the best compilation I have ever seen.
    • 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.

    • 77 Critic Score
    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.

    • 92 Critic Score
    I couldnĂ­t help to think this was what "Star Fox" should have been. In a genre which is getting drabber and more predictable by the day, Beyond Good & Evil has done what "Ratchet and Clank" did with the platforming genre and revitalized it.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    There are hints of potential in Monsters 4x4, but underdeveloped gameplay, a horrible camera, and some of the worst songs and sound effects ever in a GameCube title plague them into pettiness.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    A great throwback, mixing several different game elements, to create perhaps one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played.

    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.

    Fans of "Power Stone" or "Smash Brothers" should especially be interested in the frantic battle action Gotcha Force has to offer.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    One of the most unique experiences you can get in a home console today.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    Decent as a virtual pet game, but anyone over the age of seven will get bored fast so matter how much they enjoy Pokemon.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    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.

    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.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    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.
