The entire single player campaign is absolutely short; as in a handful of hours.- Video Game Talk

Talk about a blast from the past. SEGA Bass Fishing harkens back to the days of the Dreamcast and when arcades were still clinging to life. This Wii port barely changes the original formula which turns out to be unfortunate in regards to the presentation.- Video Game Talk

Sloppy and muddy controls, a broken aiming mechanism combined with a couple of characters who you’ll never really care for at any point make for a dull and tedious gaming experience. Compound that with the shoddy squad mechanics, lack of online co-op, and a seemingly broken online experience doesn’t make the game sound appealing in the slightest.- Video Game Talk

From the AI to generic gameplay and shoddy presentation values there are several things that keep this game from being as fun as it had the possibility to be. In the end this title is little more than a weekend rental for FPS fans looking for something to pass some time with.- Video Game Talk

NFS Prostreet is a highly polished title, but completely absent of entertainment value.- Video Game Talk

Cross Edge features a brilliant combat system and the character roster is like a dream come true for many J-RPG fans. Sadly the rest of the game stinks.- Video Game Talk

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is a decent platforming title for the PS3, but it's definitely not the cream of the crop.- Video Game Talk

But the real question is does the game itself warrant the purchase, and bluntly I don’t think it does. Arcade games are short, very short – and while that’s not a reason to ignore a game in the case of a one trick pony like Time Crisis 4 it is a reason to ignore it.- Video Game Talk

Unfortunately the gameplay still becomes stale after a couple rounds of play and the controls are definitely frustrating for new or old players.- Video Game Talk

With the right controls, this could have been a fun, if repetitive brawler, but with the so-so controls that are in place, it became just a repetitive brawler that might be entertaining for younger players, but it probably won't hold their attention.- Video Game Talk

This game might not have caused such disappointment if the concept wasn't such an intriguing idea, but when you combine these fun elements, and the game is a) not all that fun to play and b) distinctly limited, people are going to be let down.- Video Game Talk

Unfortunately, with an unstable online community, it loses the majority of its selling power. Heap on top of that, a thin plot that gives up shortly after takeoff, graphics more haggard than London after a blitz, and some occasionally frustrating controls, and a recommendation can’t be given with a clear conscience.- Video Game Talk

The gameplay is also almost too fast for its own good and a lack of customization, and originality, truly cripple the experience. Then there's the fact that there just aren't that many people playing the game.- Video Game Talk

Yet another game where the concept promises something great, but the execution falls far short. Despite the impressive look, satisfying puzzles and the helpful fail-safe offered by the time travel, the actual effort of manipulating the items around you is more like work than fun, thanks in large part to the awkward controls- Video Game Talk

If they can add some content and challenge and work a bit on the controls, there’s a definite place for a playground game in the marketplace. It does relate to the younger set and can encourage family play.- Video Game Talk

Game crippling glitch aside, “Fright of the Bumblebees” is a strong entry into this new series of four adventures.- Video Game Talk

Unless you have friends that will allow you to perform, or you are brave enough to try on random strangers, the game doesn't offer much to keep a solo gamer interested terribly long.- Video Game Talk

The length of the game is completely dependent on your difficulty. If you play on Easy, you can breeze through the entire campaign in 30 to 45 minutes. If you crank it up a bit, you are likely looking at a couple hours of playtime. Unfortunately, the lack of multiplayer extremely hamstrings the replay value.- Video Game Talk

While the game seems to be somewhat technically proficient and the single player campaign is moderately extensive, the repetitive nature of the gameplay and the mind-numbing tasks tend to drag on.- Video Game Talk

Here’s a better idea, though: Find a cheap used copy of Soulcalibur II for the Gamecube and play that on the Wii. It’s the fighting game that you expect Soulcalibur to be, it’s a deeper game, and hey… it’s got Link.- Video Game Talk

While not a total loss, there's just too many other titles to choose from to give this one a slight rental recommendation.- Video Game Talk

One of the glaring problems with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Predator is that it becomes more taxing to play the longer that you are on the device; specifically due to the cramped, confusing feeling of the control scheme.- Video Game Talk

The biggest problem with Create is that there's no key presentation element tying the game together. In fact, it's more of a playground or sandbox than a game that's compelling to play.- Video Game Talk

In short, Steel Diver is an extremely underwhelming launch game. The eight missions can be knocked out in about 2 to 3 hours and the two player Steel Commander mode is buggy in addition to boring when playing against the AI. It doesn't make any sense to me why Nintendo would sell this at a $39.99 MSRP.- Video Game Talk

It definitely feel overpriced compared to the experience in Lair of the Shadow Broker and can easily be skipped without missing out on events that lead up to ME3. However if you are a Mass Effect 2 junkie, you might find a sliver of entertainment value in Arrival, assuming you love fighting solo and don't give a hoot about the story arc.- Video Game Talk
