But while there's little appeal in tackling Phoenix Wright's cases again, this is a unique, lengthy, deep and absolutely gripping game. Highly recommended.

Players really have the feeling of being in the midst of a huge conflict. But the lack of multiplayer options is baffling and the difficulty can quickly lurch between effortless and frustratingly tough.

It would have been good to see the game's accessibility for beginners complemented by combination moves for more skilled players.

As far as the multiplayer goes, it's nothing much more than Quake 3 with a fresh slap of paint, which is probably the biggest disappointment of all.

The first Serious Sam was tongue-in-cheek but this sequel crosses the line into obnoxiousness.

While conventional, Ty 3 is diverse family fun at a wallet-pleasing price.

The film's style has been perfectly captured but the fighting action is shallow.

Loading times and a clumsy menu system are disappointing, but building your ranking is satisfying.

There are a couple of perplexing flaws in the design, such as the inability to go prone or jump over low walls and fences, but suspend your disbelief and you'll be gripped.

There are many improvements, yet fans of the game's ambitious predecessor will miss its free-form nature.

The presentation disappoints. It seems bafflingly incongruous that fans have to endure the same simple and repetitive animations and sound effects from the handheld versions when playing on the technically superior GameCube.

Just when you become well-entrenched in the world of Eberron, the single-player campaign comes to an abrupt end. The only way to continue the fun is to get online and master the multiplayer side to the game, which is something that might not appeal to every adventurer out there.

Some of the bombing runs in the solo campaign can prove quite arduous, but the dazzling pyrotechnics and adrenaline rush of flying your P38 Lightning through anti-aircraft fire make it easy to press the restart button if you fail your objectives.

Puzzles are wonderfully innovative, utilising the touch-screen and microphone. Solving such tricky conundrums is satisfying but there is little replay appeal.

If you can get past the dated graphics and sound in many of the games, you may discover that the gameplay is still as dastardly as ever.
