    The game is packed with cheap hits, such as enemies who shoot at you from off-screen... Poor controls. Ack! [Spring 2002, p.43]

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

    A very solid, entertaining, and visually satisfying tribute to the RPG genre. [Spring 2003, p.31]

    THe game's just too darn basic. You can literally run right through each stage and arraive at the boss without firing a single shot. [Spring 2003, p.37]

    There's little depth or longevity, but simplified gameplay may appeal to young gamers. [Winter 2001, p.48]

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

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

    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If it weren't for several minor problems with the game's mechanics (the collision detection is far from accurate, for one) the game would score a much higher mark. [Spring 2003, p.34]

    • 40 Critic Score
    A sloppy and unimaginative attempt at turning Frogger into a platform hero. Uninspired and definitely tired. [Summer 2002, p.24]

    Six short levels of the most frustrating version of Simon Says ever put onto a cartridge. But me, Ulala. [Fall 2003, p.53]

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

    Comes nowhere close to using the GBA's potential. Run far, far away. [Summer 2003, p.45]

    It's hard to imagine Battle Chip Challenge appealing to anyone but the tiny, dedicated group of MMBN link battlers to whom it's a love letter. [Summer 2004, p.55]

    Although the control and level designs are excellent, the game suffers from a lack of originality. [Spring 2002, p.40]

    It may be too simple for some, but rubber monster fans will eat it up. [Spring 2003, p.33]

    Potter fans may like the game because it lets them experience Quidditch first hand, but this isn't the kind of sport you play for hours on end. [Spring 2004, p.42]

    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]

    Serious Sam isn't a terrible game, but it's one that's better left to more advanced hardware than the Game Boy Advance. [Summer 2004, p.40]

    Even people who love the cartoon will realize how cheap and incomplete this game is. [Spring 2003, p.34]

    Abysmal. The graphics are terrible, the control is loose, and the gameplay is incredibly repetitive. [Spring 2004, p.48]

    With abundant action tied into a good story, Daredevil has a larger appeal than most movie-licensed games. [Summer 2003, p.39]

    Every fight and puzzle "packed" into this game's 20-plus levels would be found in the first level of most other games. [Fall 2003, p.51]

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

    Anyone who ever loved Looney Tunes cartoons will be disappointed at this poor representation of the timeless characters. [Spring 2004, p.43]

    • 65 Critic Score
    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]
