    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Simply the pinnacle of portable racing so far. Sure, there’s more to come in the genre, but this game is the definition of perfection. Developer Spellbound and publisher Ubi Soft really outdid themselves with this one and it shows.

    The game shrinks down the arcade game successfully, even if it's not as good as that game was. It has some flaws, including some major ones in doubles play, but the rest of the game is too good to overlook.

    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.

    The worst part of the sound, though, is the soundtrack.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    While the gameplay was addicting and fun, the graphics and sound are where the games problems come in.

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

    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.

    An absolutely amazing achievement.

    I wish I could appreciate this game more but after a while I got bored (and frustrated when the opponent’s color was the same as mine).

    Street mode play feels like the same thing over and over again, and the franchise mode also lacks spice. It’s hard to play this game and have unique experiences.

    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.
    • 67 Metascore

    Gets very boring after a while. There isn’t enough strategy or different battle methods to keep most people interested.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There’s a lot crammed in that small GCN disc, so if you get the game, don’t forget to browse around and find the neat additions.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    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.

    • 30 Critic Score
    It is slow, annoying and simply boring.

    An instant classic on the GBA and it lives up to the original game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The controls are tight, the graphics are great and the gameplay is diverse and filled with mini-games.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I don’t particularly understand the reasoning behind selling this as a standalone game.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    While the game isn't nearly as perfected and amazing as "Ocarina of Time," it still provides Nintendo fans with an epic and excellent experience.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There just seems to be something empty in the gameplay. The fighting does not seem solid, and the tournament is less than exciting.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's amazing to think that a guy like me, the type who used to hate NASCAR with a corrupt passion, has actually found love in a game like this.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
