    Creativity can be one of the deadliest weapons in your arsenal in this free-form third-person shooter. Playing with toy soldiers was never this fun.

    Day 1 has upped the ante, and created something far better then their original, but only those who crave Mech games, and need their online fix should give it serious consideration.

    The Legend Tour is limiting, and there isn’t really a challenge system like other Tiger games out there. Also there is a lack of information given to the player, which often keeps you guessing.

    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.

    If you like Star Wars you won't be disappointed.

    While a bit of a novelty, the mic works well, even if the games could have just as easily been played with a regular joystick.

    If you think you’d enjoy playing an RTS you played 4 years ago, but with wickedly updated graphics/sound/cut scenes and with a dual layered map, then by all means pick [it] up.

    The game’s tone may have changed drastically from Sands of Time but we personally still love everything it has to offer -- Definite recommendation.

    Given today's evolution in RPG's (even for handheld RPG's), I find it hard to believe this compilation will hold the attention of newer gamers for longer then 15 minutes. Any old school players out there with a GBA however will get plenty nostalgic with this duo of games.

    The creators of Alien Hominid tout their independence in an era of corporate consolidation in the video game industry. Fortunately, there's enough originality and heart-pounding action to warrant a look by any fan of retro action gaming.

    The repetitiveness of the levels and sub-par AI makes the 8 missions seem a lot longer than they should be.

    If not for some small issues with the control, it would have been a great expansion on the original, and deserving of the same accolades the original had.

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

    Your friends won’t like it because it’s too hard, and you might get bored because once you master the funky physics it becomes pretty repetitive.

    A gaming masterpiece that combines groundbreaking technology, atmosphere and all-out action. It's the closest you'll get to starring in your own sci-fi flick.

    A clunky combat system and too many immersion-breaking design oddities mar an otherwise excellent RPG adventure.

    Simply put, if you are a Dragon Ball Z fan, or know someone who is, get this game. It’s the title they’ve been waiting for, for 10 plus years now.

    If you're seeking a title to show off the new approaches to gaming that the Nintendo DS offers, look no further than this beautiful, bizarre gem.

    If, on the other hand, you enjoy this type of genre, it's still a solid card game, albeit no substitute for playing with real cards.

    Without giving too much away, I can say this: There is a plot-twist in this game that is so great that even the most hard-core RPG veterans won't see it coming.

    The graphics, while suffering a slight sacrifice in the parallax shading, are nevertheless incredible for the GBA.

    Sadly though the multiplayer only serves to bring down the quality of the game.

    Given its target audience, you’d have a hard time finding anything on the market quite this good that is also targeted at the 12 and under crowd.

    The keyword here is variety. If you like to try many different things and fight many different ways, then Jak 3 is the game for you.

    • 95 Critic Score
    While the story is an improvement on the first, the fact that the sequel is so much better means the story should have been great too.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Because of the very convoluted and hard to understand story it knocks the game back a few notches in the enjoyment factor. Running blindly through a game is never as fun as having a reason to do so.
