    No other Star Wars game, including "Star Wars Galaxies," has done a better job of completely immersing you in the Star Wars universe. It's impossible to finish the game without somehow feeling like your actions have made a difference.

    A delightful mix of different gameplay elements.

    Though SWON can be a little linear and two-dimensional (in a console-kinda way), it succeeds in being fun and gives you an immersive (if romanticized) jaunt through the terrifying and fascinating world of flight during WW2.

    Magic players might like it as a diversion from the card game, or they might hate it with it's dumbing down and changing of the rules.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Essentially the same game that was put out for Dreamcast. The graphics might be better, the sound certainly isn't, but the gameplay is in tact and sprinkling of a lame story about street racing leaves much to be desired.

    Yet another badly made isometric Gameboy Advance game; yet another below-average action game. Why developers don't put their hearts into what they create, I'll never know.

    It has wonderful atmosphere, and wonderful graphics, but the gameplay just isn't as strong as it should be, especially for a rail shooter. Also, the enemy patterns are not very well crafted.

    Just a very, very bad game. The included battery save feature is about the only good thing about it, since it means that you can shut the game off without fear that you'll have to retread the same boring levels next time you pick it up.

    Easily one of the best on-line titles for Xbox and is still one of the most fun and addicting games out there. Valve could have done a lot more with this title, specially in the off-line modes, but as it is, it is still a fine game, assuming you have XBL.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Some of the best graphics of any game to date, especially when compared to other racing games, but this time around the eye candy comes coupled with compelling, entertaining gameplay that is simply a blast to play.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Simply fails to deliver what the player has paid for, which is as unforgivable as giving up a goal with ten seconds left in the period.
    • 82 Metascore

    Even strictly offline as it is, Metal Arms is a damned fine game, combining an actual, real challenge with an idiosyncratic sense of humor and a sense of scale that's all too often AWOL in console releases.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The mediocre graphics bring the quality of the game down somewhat, and, while the need for frantic strategies will probably keep you playing, the lack of any sort of selection of different game modes may reduce Battlegrounds to being a rental, at best.

    No basketball game before has represented the NBA quite like this, and this game should definitely not be missed.
    • 74 Metascore

    It's not too often a game comes around that breathes new life into a genre. But I think that's just what XIII has done. With a little creativity and determination, Ubisoft has succeeded in creating an interactive comic book.

    By no means a stand out in the genre, SWON does a decent job of providing a fun WWII shooter that is easily accessible to all.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The most striking aspect of this game is the unity of its high production values. No corners were cut on this project. While most games excel at one aspect and falter in another, POP strives to achieve in every aspect.

    It's not exactly teeming with innovation, but it is fun enough to warrant at least a rental for those interested.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Its fun for a while, but doesn't exhibit staying power. The game designers capitalized on the game's lore, but could've done better in that department if they had chosen a different race to focus on.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The graphics are first rate, the dialogue was tight and witty, and most importantly, the story is fantastic and the game plays out like a well written book.

    Far and away, the best feature of the PS2 version of NFSU is its online ability. Being able to play this game against my friends is not only superb but puts it at a whole new level.

    If EA paid as much attention to the career mode and track layout that they spent on graphics and sound, this game would have been the racing game to get.
    • 56 Metascore

    At many times I found myself very frusterated by the extremely fast motion of the scrolling feature. Sometimes it seems as if it's impossible to find your men.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It has very advanced controls that you must try to understand and learn by heart.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If the controls were a bit more comfortable, and the car battle mode wasn't so hard to control, it might have made the game a better experience overall, but still not near the magic of Rare's entry.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It may not play much like a traditional Medal of Honor title, but it is easy to see that it is part of the same series, and not just because it shares a World War II setting with it's 3D brethren; the same method of executing a mission is very much intact in Infiltrator.
    • 87 Metascore

    While its sad to say that the two character carts in Double Dash is more of a gimmick than a significant gameplay enhancement to the Mario Kart franchise, the game is certainly entertaining in its own right, though a little more polish and refinement could have lead to a spectacular game, instead of a pretty good one.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Since the game gives more than a passing glance at animal satisfaction, this game could have been much better if it built upon that better. This one just didn't hold my interest.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The camera and controls can be a little flakey at times and some of the missions can go from being repetitive to just about impossible. However, there is just too much that has been done right to capture the characters and the town of Springfield to hold this game back from a good recommendation.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The game is not much fun from a single-player perspective, but it can be incredibly entertaining if you are playing with friends.
