    Awkward gameplay makes the repetitive nature of the game even more annoying. I mean, I'm all for killing the legions of the undead, but at least you could change it up a little.

    That's 100 games and 10 dance offs in 10 stages, folks. Yep. Moms and dads, this game will have your kids tied up until doomsday...or shortly thereafter.

    Besides, any game that lets you engage in drunken bar room brawls can‘t be all that bad, savvy?

    The game is a complete port of a much better game (Rayman 2) already in circulation on the Dreamcast, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation 2. If you’re dying to play this game you’re better off playing it on one of those consoles (that you probably already own).

    The somewhat fun jumping and climbing segments are occasionally hampered by a bad camera, and the combat gets more and more mindlessly repetitive as the game goes on. Definitely not cowabunga-worthy.

    The game is downright boring, and although it looks pretty, even gamers new to the series probably won’t find many redeeming qualities in it.

    As with most DS games, the WiFi connection works seamlessly, with none of the glitches or slowdowns typically found on online console games.

    Rocky Balboa smacks hard with the love its authors must have for the series of movies it takes its inspiration from. One wonders why on earth it’s a PSP exclusive when it could’ve been done so much better on a platform that allows for more scope than a portable but given the circumstances they’ve done a fine job.

    More varied but less fun than Wii Sports, this collection of mini-games basically adds $15 to the price of a new Wii controller. Sounds like a good deal, but it turns out it's barely worth even that.

    It's not the most original brawler out there, but the tasty graphics and cinematic comic-book style action help make up for some of the games imperfections.

    It remains one in a long list of ‘me-toos’ in an already oversaturated market.

    It’s gritty, and unpolished in many areas (I actually had a few freezes that forced me to reset my PS2), but if you bite down and bare it, you’ll like it. That is, if you are a fan of movies like those Mr. Ritchie makes.

    Genesis Rising may be fun for some but I think most people will find a little boring, especially harvesting ships. It seems like eons can pass you by while you're fuelling up.

    It's not even as good as "True Crime: Streets of L.A.," and that game was mediocre at best.

    Sony's handheld buries the DS alive with better graphics and overall gameplay. The DS version plays and looks more like a Game Boy Advance side-scroller with text to read instead of voice acting to listen to, lifeless graphics and simplistic levels.

    The scum-ridden, germ-infested sponge under my bathroom sink has more character and wit than this SpongeBob, unfortunately.

    If you’re a diehard fan of WWII shooters, particularly the Medal Of Honor series, you’ll find all the staple elements of the genre in this game. But there’s nothing fresh, inventive or particularly exciting here.

    Not worth a glance while searching the racks at your local video game store. Easily one of the wor[st] Nintendo DS games yet.

    Maybe DRIV3R is trying to cash in on the success of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but in reality it's not even as good as "True Crime: Streets of L.A.," and that game was mediocre at best.

    Sadly, Touch the Dead is like a zombie crashing a dinner party. It's ugly, it's annoying and after a while you feel like your brain is being chewed on.

    The pithy cut-scenes are about as easy to follow as a quantum physics lecture and are as elaborately detailed as a newspaper comic strip.

    Obviously, there's nothing really new here. Although you have arms which you can use to punch out other robots and slam their heads' into the track as you drive, it's not very interesting as a fighting title. It also can't compare to the carnage in other violent racing games, such as one of the Burnout titles.

    Better than "Dark Angel" but not nearly as good as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the TV-to-video-game treatment of Alias amounts to a fairly basic stealth-action title that's likely to appeal mainly to fans of the show and/or Jennifer Garner's digitized bum.

    The Sony version has brilliantly rendered 3-D animated characters and cut-scenes, the actors from the animated series doing the voice work and large areas to wander around. There is just no comparison with this title. PSP owners are getting a treat this Halloween while DS'ers shouldn't be tricked into buying their underdeveloped edition.

    Had it made use of the wireless adapter it might have been able to duplicate the traditional Mario Party feel.

    Gives you vaguely authentic import street racing, including real Tokyo streets, licensed import cars and an immense array of parts and manufacturers to customize your ride.

    The main problem with Frogger Ancient Shadow, however, is that's its too difficult to play. The controls take a little getting used to.

    Players new to Texas Hold 'Em poker will learn the game, get to play without losing their shirts and have some fun. Experienced poker players also get a half-hour session with a pro.

    What most definitely works for mini-game compendiums like Wario Ware or Mario Party certainly doesn't work for Cars, because of its complete lack of variety and quantity of individual levels, not to mention the wild variation in difficulty.
    • 54 Metascore

    Combine the terrible gameplay with overly dark and grainy visuals, a horrible story and voice acting and bad audio editing – cut scenes are far quieter than the in-game sound – and you get one awful package.
