The physics in the game are a tad off. [Spring 2002, p.38]

While LOTR hits a lot of highs, the overall quest and gameplay are just a little better than average. It's a strong rental. [Spring 2003, p.40]

A decent effort, but Crash needs to break new ground if he hopes to compete. [Spring 2002, p.28]

Really appeals to players' sense of nostalgia, but together the four titles can still hang with today's crowd. [Summer 2003, p.47]

For all those who have ever yearned to toss pies and slap faces with reckless abandon, this is the game for you. [Winter 2002, p.46]

The graphics are ridiculously tiny, even close up. Oh well, at least it's playable. [Summer 2004, p.42]

Great in many ways, but the difficulty is too tough. Simply not refined enough for a smooth move toe the GBA. [Winter 2002, p.45]

Very different from the PS2 games, but still a fast-paced and somewhat fun dogfighting sim. [Spring 2005, p.68]

The perfect solution for gamers who play for half-an-hour at a crack. Just don't come looking for a lot of depth here. [Spring 2003, p.32]

Despite the decent visuals, the repetitive action drags this one down. Thankfully the game can be completed in about two hours. [Summer 2003, p.49]

Handling isn't exceptional, nor is replay value, but it'll pass muster. [Summer 2003, p.39]

The GBA version is less than enchanting. [Spring 2002, p.34]

There isn't as much depth as Konami's classic series, but there are enough secret levels and items to find to keep you entertained for quite a while. [Fall 2003, p.47]

If you can look past the ugly visuals, grab a friend and tacked this revamped classic in Cooperative mode (but skip the dull four-man face-off). [Spring 2003, p.29]

A good entry point into the tactical espionage genre, but it isn't as detailed as it ought to be. [Summer 2003, p.51]

This racer needs more speed and extra helpings of Disney style. [Fall 2003, p.44]

Good for a generic game but disappointing for Pitfall. Harry deserves better. [Summer 2004, p.38]

Sure to satisfy hardcore WWF fans, but it can't beat the GBA's real wrestling champ, Fire Pro Wrestling. [Spring 2002, p.39]

Fun in spurts, but there's no way you'll play it for months on end. [Winter 2001, p.51]

Fun for some, probably too repetitive for most. [Spring 2003, p.37]

To quote Kent Brockman: "Forgive us if we don't shed a tear when this puppy is put to sleep." [Fall 2003, p.55]

Great multiplayer support gives it a long lifespan, though little ingenuity is here. [Winter 2001, p.52]

Like it or not, this is an old game, and the play mechanics are archaic by today's standards. [Winter 2002, p.36]
