    A very, very good game and definitely worth a purchase. It's just a disappointment compared to the sheer greatness that was "Circle of the Moon."

    I was blown away by how good this game was. It really does take surfing and make it into a fun gaming experience. The main factor is how each wave has its own identity in look, dimensions, and more, just like in real life.

    In the end the Scooby Doo license is well served.

    The execution just wasn’t there. The entire game seemed to walk across the line between mediocre and good. The gameplay, while having the right concept, just isn’t as fun as it might have been.

    Amazingly addicting, completing charming.

    Another solid FPS GBA game that has great multiplayer modes and twenty-two intense and varied levels.

    Scream Arena takes a line from the movie and creates and entire game from it. It’s so thin that the single line in the movie is more entertaining.

    I personally am not a wrestling fan, but I am a fan of the SK/Mummy movies, and enjoyed myself despite the game being mostly average.

    A must buy for any Spongebob crazed fan and anybody who likes decent platform games.

    If you are a fan of the series you will eat this one up because it’s not a port. Instead, it’s a good original game of the Mega Man saga that will take you ten to twenty hours to beat. However, it will definitely frustrate those who are not good at games or someone that does not like hard games.

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

    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.

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

    The gameplay is simple but addictive, the graphics and sound will have you cracking up, and there are enough modes to keep you busy (although it lacks a franchise mode).

    The experience was a mixed bag because it was loads of fun with all the different weapons, but yet again, the really annoying respawning of soldiers will turn off many gamers.

    The developer’s weariness with the franchise was accentuated by the drastic difference in quality between the flight and ground missions. The actual shooting in this FPS is only half complete, and it was greatly overshadowed by the in-game flying.

    An awful videogame with no redeeming value.

    It has great new features like instant replay, swinging on poles, punks who control the park and of course the music is totally revolutionary.

    The controls, sound, graphics, gameplay… they are all fantastic. Miyamoto has another genius of a game. Super Mario Sunshine beats out Mario 64 by a mile.

    I found the replay value to be a little too shallow for my liking. I need a game that pulls me into its world and keeps me there.

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

    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.

    A game that definitely gets old quick.

    Even though Duke Nukem turned heel and became more of a world hero instead of solo killer, this game still has the same good fun that you would expect from a Duke Nukem game but without the bathroom jokes and strippers.

    A fun but short adventure that is worthy of a rental.

    It’s franchise mode is deeper than ever, and gameplay more solid than ever. Once again, EA and Tiburon have topped themselves in all categories.

    The amount of fun that it provides is unbelievable, and its simple, arcade-style gameplay is wonderful.

    Disappointing considering NHL Hitz has a solid franchise mode where you can build a team from the ground up, and then play a series of games against other fantasy teams and eventually real NHL teams.

    The massive levels are probably the highlight of the game and they themselves offer hours of fun just driving through enjoying the scenery.

    xXx
    Though xXx may have nice graphics and music, its gameplay is highly tedious.
