Unfortunately, a video game’s success primarily comes down to the quality of the gameplay, and Dawn of the Dragon felt clunky and unpolished through the majority of my time playing it.

The racing just isn't innovative or special enough to compliment the car lineup, and the Career mode is just too bare bones.

Those minigame levels are the most fun you’ll have with Bolt. The rest of the game is a buggy mess, full of bad framerates and full-on game crashes at times.

The problem I had was with the game’s radical inconsistency.

The innovation potential was in the story, though that only provides the setting for the gameplay. Outside of that, it’s pretty basic fare.

Practically nothing works the way that it should. Guns are bad, the camera is worse, and the mature departures that the story takes from the rest of the series are truly what will have the fans raging on the message boards.

In the end, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is like vanilla ice cream. It is fine for what it offers, but is plain and blah compared to what you could be having. Even for someone who didn’t get into the G.I. Joe fad, I didn’t expect to find a plain vanilla G.I. Joe.

The stealth aspects of the game are clumsy and unimpressive, the action scenes are equally as un-fun, and it is all rolled up in a rather lackluster package.

Attitude is exactly what this game lacks, along with a little bit of soul.

I've gotten used to not expecting much from movie games, and when I played the final version of WALL-E, it met those light expectations.

Sadly it seems as if this revamp of the old Defender of the Crown, is simply an update in graphics and sound with very little thought put forth to update the gameplay. All of the extra modes are repetitive and lack any sort of attention grabbing features.

All the elements of this game add up to a game that should be rented not bought, bottom line.

Fighting, when you get to do it, is good – there are a lot of moves to try out. But the constant shuttling during missions blows.

A poorly designed excuse to cash in some more on 2K’s MLB license.

Hardcore Robocop fans should definitely give the game a rental, because regardless of the game's mediocrity, it still offers the experience of being Robocop. The majority of gamers will be unsatisfied by the lack of pulse pounding action and frenetic pace that is the staple of most titles in the genre.

The problem lies in the fact the sights and sounds included in IHRA 2004 are completely sub-par which leaves player with little more than an advanced drag car setup program.

Touches the very fine line between god awful and decent action game.

A game that tries to combine killing animals with some popular elements from other action games, but sadly it falls fairly flat. Frustration is all too common and the missions aren't very involving despite their attempts at delivering some elements of a story.

Somewhat one dimensional, with gameplay that doesn’t inspire a lot of repeat play.

The simple fact of the matter is that the game has a lot of potential, but it’s ultimately critically wounded by poor gameplay design and one of the worst engines in recent memory.

A poor use of a license, and a party game that is sure to end any get together rather quickly. This is an experience that would be hard for younger gamers to get into, and the older gaming set should steer away from as well.

The game is fun to play for a bit, but the flaws of the gameplay and the repetition creep up faster than Capone's top enforcer in a dark alley, delivering the most lethal blow to the game's bottom line.

As a Spider-Man fan, I was really hoping to see a revival of him as a video-game hero, but this wasn’t that vehicle. There are moments of fun to be had and an awful lot of gameplay, if you choose to do all of the optional missions (some of it that I found pretty tedious), but mostly it played as uninspired and disappointing for such a big-name brand.

I know there was good intent that went into the making of the game, but, in all honesty, it turned out to be a very glitchy mess.

We gamers want to play and control the action, and that is, unfortunately, where the trouble with Bullet Witch lies.

With a more refined graphical engine, better play control, and more options, this game could have been very enjoyable. Sadly, all of the previous elements were executed at a poor level and the game seems very rushed.

It had some good ideas in it and its heart was certainly in the right place, but the horrendous execution of all of those ideas is what ultimately leads to the downfall of AND1 Streetball.

Plain and simple this game isn't very good. In fact, it is very close to bad, which is such a shame because of what an awesome idea the core of this game is, and the bar set by last years stellar NFS Hot Pursuit.
