    One of the flagship titles for the PSP, and it shows the system off beautifully, the graphics and the gameplay combining to make this the greatest Ridge Racer title yet.

    Tactical stealth using cards? Not everyone will like it, and some will hate it, but for those who can get around it, a great gaming experience awaits.

    One of the best puzzlers in years. It's dreamy visuals combined with an almost euphoric soundtrack makes Lumines as much an experience as it is a game.

    The PSP gets it's first RPG, we just wish it was a little more refined, this game could have been longer and provided more side quests to keep gamers entertained after the action has finished.

    According to Sony, stripping a game of it's most distinguished component is a sure way to achieve success.

    You'll be hard pressed to find a game that offers as much long term playability as this one.

    Some great rainy weather fun. But nothing spetacular.
    • 51 Metascore

    An outright travesty.

    A bit of disappointment for Dynasty Warriors fans and newcomers alike. A great deal of potential has been wasted.

    With quite a bit to unlock and more to download off of the net, this is a completionist's paradise. Though some may eventually baulk at the higher challenges, and some may tire of the slight lack of variety, multiplayer only makes the final package stronger.

    From the evocative set-up to the satisfaction of stealing enemies move, those with an open mind and lenient expectation are likely to find a cool title that is perfect to fill the gaps between big releases.

    I had an absolute blast with the game’s weaponry and the ideas behind the deaths of killing the creatures ( the last boss was done quite nicely) were done extremely well. A minor downfall to the game is that I didn’t necessarily feel scared during the game.

    Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is the best version of a great game, anyone wanting to play this game (but doesn't own a Gamecube) has no excuse anymore.

    Using the touchscreen exclusively for control, as well as the microphone and the top screen, means this simply isn't playable on anything other than the DS.

    Rivals comes in second place to Ridge Racer, but it does offer something different; plus, this game will definitely please those who like to modify their vehicles.

    One of the worst Nintendo licensed products released in the last few years. We question how this got the Nintendo gold seal.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There’s plenty to unlock, the multiplayer is good and the soccer is rock-solid. Not to mention that the quick load-times make for the most faithful on the road console experience to date, though the lack of depth will not appease everyone.

    Jungle Beat's only main fault is its length... for people who simply want to play it from start to finish they're going to feel a little short changed as you'll see the end credits in only about 3-4hrs.

    The core gameplay outside of the combat is identical to the original game, the camera can still cause problems, enemies could have had a little more variety, some of the bosses are lacking in quality compared to others while the soundtrack is slightly limited. But none of these hinder the game in any major way.

    Whilst the clunky control system is the only significant flaw, it certainly doesn't quite ruin the game.

    Fight Night: Round 2 claims the title of best boxing game, but still has some distance to travel before being truly great.
    • 88 Metascore

    Not even minor balancing issues and a super cheap final boss can spoil this; Tekken 5 is quite easily the best of the series.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It’s technically fantastic, great fun for car fans, and will last forever (despite the lack of online), but we’ve seen the same flaws in the same game since the days of the PSX.

    A rather forgettable, derivative FPS experience. Only worth a try if you're absolutely desperate for a shooter fix, and don't care about dropping some cash for a copycat title.

    An incredible experience that all strategy fans shouldn’t pass the opportunity to experience.
    • 79 Metascore

    Arcade perfect. The ports are very clean and faithful to the originals. No sign of pixelazation here.

    It is just that the problems that are in Xenosaga Episode II are pretty unforgiving in today’s standards.
    • 58 Metascore

    Fatal Shadows isn’t awful, but it’s simply too primitive for anyone else but Tenchu fans to bother with in this era.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    But my biggest problem with the game is really just the slight lack of craziness that I've come to expect from Wario Ware. I rarely laugh out loud at a game, but the original Wario Ware provided me with much humour with its general wackiness.

    Recommend for split screen multiplayer, otherwise wait for a price drop.
