The story is only average for a RPG (make that above average if you love the air pirates setting), the combat system is mildly interesting but lacks much in the way of depth and the presentation is a bit dated.

This could be the best looking console game yet... Sadly for fans of the sport, the beach volleyball gameplay is just plain lacking.

The efforts put into the acting and story deserve a game with better graphics, less glitches, and more refined gameplay.

In this game a good offense is your best defense-attacking indiscriminately is simply more effective than trying to use the clumsy block button. There is a target button similar to Zelda and Soul Reaver, but the difficulty in selectively targeting a particular enemy is troubling.

It sounds great, as all Star Wars games do, but the graphics are bland at best and nauseating at worst, and the action is a redundant mess of blaster fire and jumping puzzles.

While not perfect, Haven: Call of the King works on many levels—as a platformer, as vehicular racing title, as a centerpiece for fine soundtrack work.

Although the Japanese influenced gameplay is engaging at first, countless deathmatch battles and only three arenas hurt the overall appeal.

Essentially the game takes the original premise, adds a few minor twists, and slaps some mediocre next-generation 3D graphics onto the product.

Although Sub Rebellion isn't the best-looking game on the block, it is still a lot of fun to play. Huge bosses have numerous targets to destroy and the action can get intense.

Instead of going back and fine-tuning the game's fundamentals, the developers let the broken stuff stay broken and added in some cheap new bells and whistles.

Robotech will likely give all players a buzz with the incredible visuals, but ultimately the repetitive play and unrewarding control scheme will leave them wanting more.

While it may get 10 out of 10 for style, this title is plagued by clunky controls and a rather short shelf life. [Import]

An interesting concept marred by a poor save system, lackluster visuals, a frustrating time system, and slow-as-molasses gameplay.

It's replete with an array of entertaining modes, it suffers from average graphics and sorely unbalanced gameplay.

The action is solid enough and there's plenty of challenge to keep you busy for a while, but key features of the game were scrapped entirely, and what's present at all is still buggy and unfinished.

In the form of fine visuals and interesting gameplay, it has some redeeming qualities. It doesn't have the depth or character designs to make it a memorable fighting title.

A unique title with controls too complex for an arcade title and action too ridiculous for a simulation.

The action is solid, the presentation is average with flashes of brilliance, and the story surrounding it is alternately fascinating and flat.

Full of unrealized potential and will likely be quickly forgotten as new games succeed where this game failed.

The only facet of the game that even comes close to satisfying is the abundance of match types.

An appropriately nasty, brutish and short-lived game.

Thanks to a ludicrous save scheme, once you start, you had better not stop until you reach the end.

WSB for the Xbox feels much more like an upgrade than a complete overhaul...This game is easily the best baseball game on the market, but as fans of the genre know, that's not really saying much.

A surprising good dancing game, featuring excellent graphics and motion-capture work.

Unfortunately, this version of Capcom's seminal survival horror title doesn't play as good as it looks. As a matter of fact, it plays a whole heck of a lot like the original Resident Evil.

A unique title with controls too complex for an arcade title and action too ridiculous for a simulation.

A variety of cool weapons and powerups combined with intense aerial battles go a long way to compensate for the graphics.

Put simply, BRPF thrives on button mashing. For those unfamiliar with the term, this means that even the most skilled player can fall victim to a first-timer's frenzied and haphazard button presses.
