    Playing Fight Club should be considered an act of masochism.

    It has taken everything which made Metroid Prime so stunning in the first place and molded, defined and enhanced it into something that is even more stunning.

    • 50 Critic Score
    An incredibly simple platformer that most people will find entirely too basic and boring.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It isn't as evolutionary as "Jak II" was but it is still a fun platformer which puts up a great challenge.
    • 71 Metascore

    A really great game that feels a leap ahead of its other Eyetoy counterparts. We still can't help but get the feeling that it is a little light on features though.

    It's a game that deserves every superlative attached to it, a title so well-rounded and technically superior that it demands to be played. [Offline review only - includes multiplayer]

    We would love to see Xbox Live support enabled with support for downloadable objects (this could help to extend the lifespan) or even custom soundtrack support to take advantage of the Xbox's capabilities would have been a good inclusion.

    Such a hard game to review as the core gameplay is so much fun, but many things are holding back from achieving greatness. The 'power shots', while a good addition, should never have been made compulsory for Tournament play.

    Excellent. A game that you must play at all costs. One or two concerns, but otherwise great.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Lacks the lastability of "Eyetoy: Play 2" as once the twelve games are over and the Chao garden has been exploited that is the end. There is no playroom and there are only small novel unlockables.

    With some better controls, more polish and better hardware, Killzone could have been a real contender for best console FPS.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An incredibly weak update to last year’s title. Virtually every new feature in the game hasn’t be implemented anywhere near as good as it could have been, and it damages the game as a result.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The games are just as you remember them, damn excellent, but the lack of bonus material and additional Sonic games severely hurts the overall package.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite the problems faced in difficultly, story involvement and some other minor nit-picks, The Third Age is an amazing game that'll keep gamers occupied for an easy 20+ hours.

    The seamless way in which the DJs react to the in-game environment, and from an intertextual standpoint, merge better with the player's situation far more effectively than in the previous games is just inspiring.

    Despite the minor nitpicks that plague this game, Grand Theft Auto is a spectacular game that lives up to it's big-console cousins.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Truly the best version of Dead or Alive - but it is not without its faults.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, most – especially pure RPG fans – will find the game is incredibly simplistic, with the actual gameplay being far too shallow, containing a basic fighting mechanic, an innovative 'magic' system and... Well, not much else.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The new Wing Command system coupled with the ability to choose their aircraft allows for an increased level of strategy and the in-flight conversations with them really adds a new layer depth and involvement to the series.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's old-school arcade racing of the Daytona/Ridge Racer kind, where shaving milliseconds off lap times is the real reward.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A quality game that has turned out to be much better than its predecessor.
    • 65 Metascore

    Neo Contra is verbose, but brief.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The lack of innovation in Crisis Zone is the real downfall of the title.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Possibly the best Kirby game ever. Platformer fans need this in their collection.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    One of the most refreshing RPG games for quite some time. A number of shortcomings only slightly hurt the usually spectacular game. It’s a tough cookie, and one that fans of older RPG games will adore.

    Tak 2: Staff of Dreams fails to provide an engaging platform experience, and would be better used as a cure for insomnia.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fantastic value and a great look back at how far gaming has come. Unfortunately though, given the choice between this or a Platinum game, we'd choose the platinum game.
    • 87 Metascore

    Brilliant visual flair and charm that make Paper Mario a treat to watch. Almost like watching a Mario cartoon.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Whilst it is the #1 stop for V8 fans everywhere, it still falls some distance behind the mighty "Project Gotham Racing 2" and "Gran Turismo 3." This game is much more simulation than arcade based, so those expecting to be able to powerslide corners at high speed should look to "OutRun 2" or "Burnout 3" for their arcade racing fix.

    A good game that is becoming a little too familiar. C'mon Neversoft, show us some evolution!
