    How on earth doesn’t this game have a simple auto-save feature?

    As a Resident Evil fanatic, this is probably the best game in the series. Personally, it’s battling "RE2" to become my favourite RE game of all time.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An unremarkable game that plays like a standard soccer title with Disney characters thrown on the rosters -- and that's about it.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Floaty physics and a sore lack of variety in track design are the standout issues that prevent this game from even garnering a rental recommendation.

    Those who don’t own the Genesis originals or Sonic Jam will find SMC well worth $40; those already possessing most of the included games have little reason purchase this GameCube disc.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    World War II buffs will certainly enjoy this game, but if you're looking for a great GameCube shooter, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A very bland and unremarkable game plagued by poor control and design.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    "Enemies" in this game have absolutely no AI and merely circle a pre-destined path, and you merely are required to avoid them. That’s it. I suppose this is a good thing because actually controlling Zapper is akin to Sisyphus attempting to roll that boulder up the mountain in Hades.

    My, things have certainly changed - Frogger can move in four different directions now, as well as jump and stick out his tongue to get extra lives. What a time to be alive!

    A reasonably well-made game that desperately needs a soul.
    • 68 Metascore

    While NHL Hitz 2003 would be a great mini game in a console game, maybe something one would see in a Midway adaptation of "Animal Crossing," it’s not a deep or fun enough game worthy of a $40 purchase.

    Chances are that players anticipating a wacky brand of golf are going to be frustrated by the precision-based swinging, while die-hard golf addicts will be put off by the silly elements.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    So simple, yet so addictive. The Nintendo classics haven’t lost their magic touch one bit, and they are still very hard to put down.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A complete port of the original. It has every enemy, every weapon, and every single level - even the secret ones.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun and frantic action game that lacks polish. If you’re a Star Wars fan and/or enjoy blowing stuff up, it’s well worth your attention.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even though some of the challenges are thumb-breaking, it’s nothing you can’t get over after a couple of minutes. Solid effort, Team 17.

    Tony Hawk on the Game Boy is just as good as Tony Hawk on the GameCube (and other consoles).
    • 91 Metascore

    Though THPS4 may not be the best introduction to the series due to its steep learning curve, it makes an excellent follow-up for the legions of THPS fans already out there.

    There are extra little features that make Mario Party 4 the best of the bunch, but nothing that makes it soar above the rest.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Offers quite a bit for a fighting game, but unfortunately where the game falls flat is in the basic fundamentals of what makes any game good, fighter or not.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    What really stands out about Time Splitters 2 is not the gobs of stuff they’ve thrown in, but that each gob is so well crafted.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    While the game of tennis may seem simple from a glance, Sega really nailed the core intricacies in terms of giving the player the most amount of control possible without hampering any other aspect of the gameplay.

    Controlling Spyro hasn't improved. It’s still incredibly awkward trying to control him while gliding, as he'll go zooming off all over the place with the slightest touch.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It’s a nice way of reliving games of yore and allows a new generation of gamers to rediscover some of the great games of the 16-bit era.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It is easily the hardest videogame ever made, and is likely going to be an exercise in frustration for all but the most expert gamer.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A score of 80 is a great score for any other developer, but disappointing coming from Rare.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Gamers experiencing the wacky mascot for the first time may enjoy it.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's a peculiar addiction when you spend most of your days looking for a toilet to put in your basement and writing letters to the hippo next door.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If there was one thing about this game that would make you stay away from it, it would have to be the title’s replay value. That is to say, there really isn’t any.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The outstanding puzzle design and tremendous challenge is what is going to make this game a huge hit, despite any of its flaws.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The title has an enormous replay factor, and many Monkey Ball fans will find themselves playing the game until the next iteration of Super Monkey Ball.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It’s a very standard platform game with some nice graphics and speech thrown in. The password save will infuriate you, along with game music that will most likely send you to an asylum.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The controls are tight and responsive and very well designed. Gameplay is top-notch, with tons of different modes to play though and a multiplayer element that is truly unbeatable. The game will never die, and will remain fresh time and time again.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Pikmin's main strength is its sense of freedom and discovery. There is a strong balance between this sense of freedom and having set goals.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A visual and aural masterpiece. The game has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a next-generation game including bump mapping and 480p support on the visual end, and five channel surround sound via Dolby Pro Logic II on the aural end.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    When it comes down to playing the game, it is just fun; sucking up ghosts is somehow addicting.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Even though this title screams party game, it’s much more fun to play alone than, say, a Mario Party title. Old school is definitely back, and it’s a heck of a good time playing it on a GameCube.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It expands on the previous game with new stages, more tricks, an excellent and varied soundtrack and more. It just doesn’t have much in the way of innovation.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Awesome. It could even be considered the GBA's "Ikaruga."
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you haven't bought Final Fight One already, you should probably buy two or three copies, just to be safe. Everybody knows they will be the currency of a post-apocalyptic future where cops have periods in the middle of their names and chandeliers fall from the ceiling to reveal delicious roasts.
    • 68 Metascore

    On the whole, Doodle Hex is a fundamentally solid game that sadly fails to capitalise on its strengths in a number of crucial ways.
