    Unfortunately Knuckles/Rogue gameplay, camera problems, some sound problems and limited replay value hurt the game in the long run.

    With even more improvements made over the near-perfect SNES game, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 deserves the highest honors.

    What really shines, even on top of the great graphics and sound and gameplay, is the replay value.

    Not that bad. Salt Lake 2002’s main problem is in the number of events provided, as six just do not last long enough and the events do not really lend themselves for much replay value anyway.

    The graphics engine developed for Dark Arena is something I never expected to see on the GBA. It seems that the more developers that dig into the hardware, the more impressive it gets.

    It doesn't help that the AI is ludicrously tough, and as cheap as possible. The AI can pull off moves that the gamer couldn't possibly do as fast.

    Almost perfect. Some of the challenges are a bit difficult but they help build your skill level. And although the graphics aren't stunning they are above adequate for this game, and are still very good.

    The only real problem I had with the game is one you have to push "A" 71 consecutive times to pull that many Pikmin out of the ground, and with only 30 days this gets time consuming.

    Definitely recommended for the experienced gamer due to its difficulty; it would have been a wise move by Crawfish to include a setting in options.

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

    It is the best 2D Frogger out there so far. The gameplay is up-to-date and addictive.

    This game can have loads of excitement. One of the main reasons is that the controls are excellent and it is easy to pull off major combos without a lot of effort. However, the game is still going to be hard to master.

    Moving and controlling Wario is very simple, and very fun.

    The game plays perfectly, just like the original. However, that is the problem. The game has nothing new, nothing different, nothing innovative, and nothing that changes the gameplay from original except the targeting computer, which you are penalized for using!!

    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.

    Once again, the combination of Sega and monkeys has resulted in an extremely addicting game. Don’t pass this game up.

    You can tell this is a budget game through and through. There is no battery save, so your looking at a pass code system. Get your pad and paper ready.

    Neversoft succeeded by sacrificing some of the polish that could have made the game a better by a smidgen. The framerate and lack of astonishing detail are valid complaints, but should not deter any Gamecube owner from buying this game.

    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.

    With a gripping story, slick battle sequence, superior graphics, and a set of good tunes to boot, Golden Sun is a total package.

    In the end any substantial complaints I have regarding Spryo: Season of Ice are centered on the fact that current platformers have turned into giant scavenger hunts. Those may be fun but I’ve had my fill already.

    The game could have been a tad longer and used more of the cartoon characters. This game will take an average gamer about five hours to beat and probably a bit more with some replay value.

    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 game itself is extremely short and can be beat in less than two hours or so; however, unlocking all the features and playing all five characters adds to the replay value.

    Overall, you’ll find yourself playing all day, wanting to reach 100% in each level. And you'll have a fun time doing it, too.

    The game play is formulaic, and does nothing new, or even what it does do, especially well. There’s no compelling reason to go past the 1st level, much less through all 17+.

    A landmark title with gameplay better than ever before and great play mechanics that defy portable gaming.

    The replay value is great and this game will last forever.

    The game is naturally fast paced, which only means it is more fun. You have to think fast and have good reflexes. Personally, I love the game.

    The visuals in Mario Kart: Super Circuit are mind numbingly perfect.
