    A simplified interface and a stronger focus on plot may alienate some fans of previous games in the series, but there’s an outside chance it will broaden the appeal to a wider audience.

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

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

    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.

    The strong multiplayer establishes Bomberman Online as a worthwhile purchase. Though the story mode is challenging, once finished, there is little incentive to continue play.

    It isn’t a bad game; it’s just not exceptionally good, either.

    It’s pretty much a given that beating up Nazis is inherently fun, but the developers threw in some truly entertaining wrinkles into the combat to make the Nazi-bashing especially enticing.

    While multiplayer accessibility is limited, head-to-head play is better than it ever has been before.

    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.

    There's nothing wrong with 80's cartoons, and this strange hybrid of snowboarding and adventure is actually pretty fun, despite its shortcomings. Sometimes, two great tastes really do taste great together.

    Fast and frantic.

    Even without the bells and whistles that other recent rhythm-based games have offered, PaRappa the Rapper 2 is a lot of fun.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The music alone will draw you back for a few repeat plays, just don’t expect it to last much longer than a single rental period.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It just can’t match up to the PC and Xbox versions due to the difference in graphics quality and the lack of an important gameplay element.

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

    The shoddy AI compensates for the game’s substandard targeting system.
    • 81 Metascore

    Although Capcom vs. SNK 2 doesn’t break any new ground, there is enough depth here to keep any 2D fighting game fan happy.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    While containing a wealth of songs to master and many bonus games to unlock, the relatively difficult control mechanics may hamper its appeal.

    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.
    • 71 Metascore

    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.

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

    People with ADD will drop out first, followed by those looking for instant graphic gratification, then the casual gamers, and lastly the diehards.

    • 67 Critic Score
    A unique title with controls too complex for an arcade title and action too ridiculous for a simulation.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Because it demands a lot of precision during play, sometimes the fun gets lost in the shuffle.

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

    Too short and on the easy side.

    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's a great diversion, and it really is fun for a while, but Nightcaster's overly defensive gameplay will likely turn people away.

    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.
