    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.

    If you played and liked any of the previous NHL Hitz games, then Hitz Pro is definitely a game to get.

    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 deep and refined yet very entertaining action gameplay satisfies the urge to kick some Orc butt extremely well! Add one of the best soundtracks ever to grace the GBA.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Just a little too similar to "Tactics Ogre." The fights got a little too mundane and boring. Perhaps it's because I spent so much time with Ogre that I grew bored of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance quicker. That's not to say that Final Fantasy Tactics Advance isn't worth every penny, because it is.

    The innovation that the Tony Hawk series has been so desperately searching for. It’s pure skating fun, but the inclusion of the Disney characters takes it that extra mile.

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

    The amount of impeccable polish applied to Soul Calibur II is nothing short of astonishing. It rivals every fighting game in the history of gaming, and has raised the bar for every game yet to come.

    I absolutely worship the Green Plant: Intersection level. For that level alone this game is worth it.

    I would highly recommend a rental, and around December, if history repeats itself, you should be able to find it for a fairly discounted rate and two months of season still ahead of you. That way, everybody wins.

    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."

    When it comes to sports games, nothing can really beat "Tiger Woods" in the realism department, but nothing can really beat Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour in the fun department.

    In case it isn't abundantly obvious, this game is bad. It's horrible. It's awful... might just be the worst game on the Gamecube.

    The option is a huge part of college football, and Tiburon has done an extraordinary job of replicating it in NCAA Football.

    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.

    Okay, I will admit that I did have some fun with Charlie’s Angels as I am a sucker for beat-em-up titles. The game is shoddily put together, graphically ugly, and sometimes difficult to play because of game mechanics and cheap AI.

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

    It's unlike anything I’ve ever played.

    From my perspective, I prefer the original on the sole basis of storyline, because it provides for a greater variety of enemy CO's and aids in creating a close bond with your own CO's. Either way, it's still a great game and is co-owner of the crown when it comes to "Best Game Boy Advance game."

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

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

    Fans of the series will like this game. It controls well, follows the story of the show almost religiously, and has some replay if you like leveling up.

    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.
