    Kids who loved the movie will like the game. Everybody else will be bored to tears.

    Even if it is considered just a kids game, it still doesn't make the grade. That is even with all the conventions that have been borrowed and all the variety that it tries to provide.

    A real slap across the face to Matrix fans. Do yourselves a favour and take the blue pill.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    As yet another uninspired victim of its now dated and unwelcome subject matter, Frontline: Fields of Thunder completely misses the bounds made in today’s PC real-time strategies.

    Gun
    A quick and dirty port of a current generation game is a nasty move on behalf of Activision, especially when the Xbox 360 offers much more compelling software for a similar price.

    Sprung is a missed opportunity. Who knew dating could be so boring?
    • 60 Metascore

    The Shoot is an uninspired on-rails shooter that fails to capture the imagination it desires to make real and simply remains below average.

    Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll isn't a terrible RPG, it's just a forgettable one.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's a missed opportunity weighed down by cumbersome and lacklustre design. The multiplayer provides some fun, but with Mario Kart on it's way, it's worth neither the hassle or expense.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's a shame that a decent IP has succumb to so much average, derivative, and plain boring gameplay.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A below average title that has been rushed to the Xbox 360. The game features poor AI, no challenge, glitches, boring levels and a minimalistic moveset.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It’s main problem is definitely its “on the rails” approach towards the gameplay side of things and its combat system is less than perfect.

    Alien Syndrome is a generic update and a game that is easily forgotten.
    • 54 Metascore

    Some moments of Jurassic Park: The Game evoke the atmosphere of the films quite well, but unfortunately it's a game where the player ultimately feels unnecessary.
    • 66 Metascore

    Ty 3 isn't a bad game, taking its target demographic and budget price into account.
    • 53 Metascore

    Spongebob Squarepants and Friends Unite! will provide a bit for the fans but anyone looking for co-op action should look elsewhere, even if they’re under ten.

    Ultimately, Worms: Open Warfare feels really undercooked. Everybody knows that there’s potential for a good Worms game on the DS – you’ve got the Wi-Fi online play, stylus allowing for mouse-like precision and all of that jazz, but Open Warfare doesn’t exactly make good use of any of these features. Regardless of that, the biggest insult is that the title can’t even hold up against its ageing predecessors – it really feels like the product was slapped together and shipped out as cheaply as possible.

    Despite solid foundations and some good ideas, the pursuit of unreasonable design goals and terrible executions mean that Sniper: Ghost Warrior fails to make the passing grade.

    A misguided concept results in the worst Super Monkey Ball game to date. Wait for the next-generation sequel later this year.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Driver 76 is nothing more than another generic attempt at a free-roaming action game with very little in the way of redeeming features.

    A Scooby Doo game that borrows the mechanics of the LEGO titles but forgot to borrow the fun.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A sub-standard mini-game compilation that lacks the appeal of other 'brain games'.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    According to Sony, stripping a game of it's most distinguished component is a sure way to achieve success.

    One of the worst Nintendo licensed products released in the last few years. We question how this got the Nintendo gold seal.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ape Academy fails on all levels as a mini-game collection. Even if the lack of vareity and modes are negligile, the control and balance kill any possibilty of redemption.

    Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends shows just how little milk Koei has left in the proverbial cow.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The gameplay is repetitive and there's hardly any support from the cast of the film.

    The Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is a package that will truly inspire nostalgia, for better or for worse.

    Even Hellboy fans will not find much fun in this title thanks to the dreadfully uninspired game design. If you really must play it, at least wait until it's circulating the bargain bin.

    If this is the best example of the PSP’s capabilities, the developers are better off making a different game because the load times/screens make the game lose portable appeal and a lot of functionality as a game in general.
