    There's really not much to this game, yet it still had me coming back for more, trying to finish the single player mode.

    Such a deceiving title – the presentation leads you to believe you’re going to be getting a near AAA experience, which only sets up a big crash when you realize the game doesn’t live up that promise. Don’t get sucked into thinking War Times is a groundbreaking game, and you’ll get plenty of enjoyment out of it.

    The game has its moments, but in the end it feels like watching a second-rate episode.

    Even fans of the original game might be a little put off by this rather pointless and soulless sequel. The volleyball is still good, bouncy fun, though.

    I can officially say I've played 2004's worst game.

    As I played through it, there were times when I was just plain bored out of my noggin'. The Wolverine missions are so darn banal.

    Once this one slides off the road into the ditch, you might just want to leave it there.

    Curiously enough, the billiards mini-game really does sum up Gangs of London as a whole. Gangs of London has a lot of balls but when it comes to sinking them it always scratches.

    Word of advice to the developers: When creating the next installment of this franchise, do what you did with the presentation end of things, and almost completely rip-off "Grand Theft Auto," and their gameplay. It’ll make this sort of title appeal to almost everyone.

    That's so Raven 2: Supernatural Style doesn't fair as well unfortunately although it is more of an arcade style experience.

    It's simpler than a deck swabber what's spent too much time in the sun, but this one is surprisingly fun and charming for a game-to-movie tie-in.

    Although playing as Wolverine and Nightcrawler is more fun, in the end, even their missions eventually become monotonous. The game definitely could have benefited from more mutants.

    Fortunately there are a few interesting boss type fights in the game to keep it from becoming overly stale including some interesting members from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

    X-Men: The Official Game is too short, too bland and too rushed to be considered anything more than a three-day rental (and barely that).

    Legend has some charm, thanks mostly to Depp, but gets repetitious very quickly.
    • 51 Metascore

    The developers of 187 Ride or Die definitely had the right idea. The game is easy to just pick up and play and has fun multiplayer modes. But the laughable plot, disgusting language and weak (very weak) single player mode keep this game from being great.

    Performing the special moves becomes boring quickly as it slows down the gameplay as you stop shooting baskets in an attempt to raise your respect points.

    The controls are about as responsive as a corpse in the city morgue and the moody camera handcuffs you at every turn.

    For some absolutely unknown reason Namco decided it’s was a “good” idea to hide the save points, and make you look for them.

    Granted, the targeting system is pretty unique to this kind of game, but thanks to it being fairly unresponsive, especially when things really heat up on screen, it ends up being completely derogatory.

    The pacing is so slow that trawling through the usual scenarios is completely unrewarding. It¹s not particularly bad, just boring.

    I reward the game for its outstanding creativity and its fun game play. Unfortunately, its downfalls brought the game to a crash.

    Fans of modern flight sims will enjoy the game, but its bare-bones presentation and slightly technical nature won't win any followers among action gamers hoping for Top Gun-style dogfights.

    Quite simply, it’s a very early contender for worst game of 2007, and a game this bad will be etched into every fibre of my being right up until December I’m sure.

    Kids have done this all before over and over again in more distinct and sleeker settings. Besides the cool runaway Robot sequences there's nothing that's challenging, innovative or eye-catching about Zathura.

    A mundane experience that is probably best forgotten. If, however, you’re still curious, consider a rental first, and see if you like it.

    In the hands of some more creativity (and maybe less time constrictions that most movie-based video games have), this could have been something worth a second look. As it is, this game should be judo-chopped immediately to the bargain bin.

    If you ignore the fact that the responses you are able to give often don't seem to be what you really want to say; if you ignore that there are only about 10 people total on the mountain and everyone becomes the town "bike;" and if ignore there is practically no continuity between the "missions," the game does what it claims to do.

    The twittering is so irritating it will take all of your self-control not to purposely heave that Wiimote through your television screen to shut those fowl up for good.
