    As a newcomer to the Harvest Moon experience, I was floored with the almost overwhelming amount of options and choices within the game. The simple and responsive controls make it very easy to play.

    While it clearly rips off Zelda in certain areas, the Mummy levels are a breath of fresh air to the entire game. Having Sphinx on his own would have had this game be very cookie cutter, so not enough good things can be said about the Mummy.

    Graphics wise this game is merely OK, but let’s face it, what kind of graphics does a dodge ball game really need?

    A highly addictive and satisfying game. Super Smash Bros. is a classic game for the Nintendo 64. If you haven't played it or its successor, and there certainly aren't many of you kinds of people, what are you waiting for? Do it!

    Although the game features a lot of action sequences, it’s really an RPG at heart. However, what makes this game unique is the battle system. It combines a turn based fighting system with a real time one. Did that make sense to anyone?

    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.

    One of the most shockingly good GBA games I’ve played all year.

    By far the best "Punch-Out" clone to ever grace the gaming world, but it’s certainly not perfect. It lacks the classic charm and replay value of "Punch-Out" and "Super Punch-Out," but that doesn’t mean it’s completely devoid of these qualities.

    It's motocross to the extreme. There is nothing out there like this, except for "SSX Tricky," and this is better than Tricky. If you like Tricky, you'll love Freekstyle.

    It’s well polished and has a pretty lengthy eight worlds. The power-up system is really cool and works for both novice and stronger players.

    For amateurs it is a button-mashing contest, for professionals it takes skill and strategy. That’s the only catch. People who dislike the randomness of hitting as many buttons as fast as they can will be turned off by the first impressions Knockout Kings presents.

    As I got more into it, the game hooked me more with deeper, more challenging levels. It also has me coming back trying to find all the bonus levels and scrapbook shots. Another great platformer for the GBA.

    You must realize Ghouls n’ Ghosts is a very hard game and you have to forgive the occasional instant death. Then you will really get addicted to the gameplay with the help of the good graphics and music that Capcom has created.

    On the whole I probably enjoyed the first one more, simply because it came first and was a new experience. Some of the levels, though, make up for it, and bring you back to that level of excitement and tension which I don't feel any other game has ever matched.

    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.

    I honestly don't really dig this game. The graphics are pretty, and the sound is hilarious, it's a little brief, but I never could get into the game.

    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.

    There’s not a great deal that can be done to improve the 2D shooter’s basic premise, but Iridion II raises the bar by including superior audio, very decent graphics, and a good variety of both new (auto-upgrade) as well as classic (super-shot and smart bombs) gameplay features.

    This game was created with gamers in mind it combines a great mix of fun with a great story and best of all a franchise character to suck you in.

    An above average game surrounded by overachieving games make Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure a game only platformer fans or Crash fans will really want to buy, but when they do, they won't regret it.

    One of the most unique experiences you can get in a home console today.

    From the story, to the music to graphics to the gameplay, Rayman 3 is fun to play.

    A great throwback, mixing several different game elements, to create perhaps one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played.

    Overall, the gameplay in True Crime is spectacular.

    Unfortunately, there are major problems in the gameplay that will make just about any player go on strike.

    A very addictive and lengthy FPS.

    While it may not be as complex as the GameCube version, it certainly does what it intends to do well.

    Even at its hardest, the GC version is quite a bit easier than the Xbox version. Considering the challenge was one of the best things about the game previously, this is one of the ports biggest downfalls in my eyes.

    My main gripe is the lack of a batter-save and there really is no excuse for its absence.
