    If there were a way to “Mystery Science Theater 3000” a game, this would be considered one of the best games to do that with. Shellshock: Nam ’67 is the Manos: Hand of Fate of video games.
    • Metascore: 52
    • Critic Score 49
    It’s not a fun game, and what little is here gets real old real fast.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Critic Score 49
    Really disappointing. It's short, repetitive, and just not a lot of fun.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Critic Score 49
    A repetitive game that looks decent but has a horrible (lack of a) save game feature, Scooby-Doo! Unmasked is a perfect example of [a] recipe for mediocrity.

    I felt like I was getting more of the movie's story, but playing through this was an aggravating chore. It's a rental, please don't buy it.

    While there are plenty of game modes, not a one of them is a challenge.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 48
    Shockingly boring.
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 48
    The game draws heavily on Sid Meier’s Pirates!, with some minor differences in setting and more action-oriented gameplay. Still, it lacks the polish of Pirates! and gets bogged down by some questionable interface decisions reminiscent of older, less-refined games.

    Ultimately Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble is a shallow game.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 48
    It's a rush job, a disservice to the franchise, and its just not a very good game.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Critic Score 48
    It’s too bad that this game wasn’t better developed and given more time to polish. Instead of a fine dish of Klingon gagh, we end up with poorly sung Klingon opera.

    For the sake of the people in our profession, please quality check titles before publishing them. If at any point in the testing you sense an urgency to find something sharp and jab yourself with it repeatedly then make a mental note that it’s the fault of a poor game.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Critic Score 47
    If you like mediocrity and stupid storylines, this game is definitely for you.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 47
    If you are yearning for a multiplayer beat-em-up, this might satisfy you for a bit. Be warned though: since there is no story, I found the limited appeal is for all but hardcore fighting fans.
    • Metascore: 61
    • Critic Score 46
    Gameplay is horrible.
    • Metascore: 52
    • Critic Score 46
    It is nice that the game controls so easily so that parents don’t have to constantly be watching over their kids. Still, it’s a bit too short to really justify the purchase.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Critic Score 46
    I can't even recommend this title to fans of the series. This game plays poorly, and has little new or redeeming gameplay value.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Critic Score 45
    After playing Zoids Assault, I really had to wonder why it was made or why Atlus decided to bring it over to these shores.
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 45
    If this were a PSP game I may be able to overlook a lot of these short comings, but as a PS3 game, Last Rebellion is disappointing.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 45
    Just running around blasting things and hunting for keys isn't fun anymore. When you also remove the feeling of having a LAN party from the multiplay, you're not exactly left with a must-play game.
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 45
    Please don’t buy this game. Not for your kid, not for you. It’s not worth it. Get them more cards or something. They won’t get anything out of this Yu-Gi-Oh game other than story.
    • Metascore: 63
    • Critic Score 45
    Croixleur isn't broken, but it is aggressively mediocre.
    • Metascore: 60
    • Critic Score 44
    The game is fraught with issues that pop up cryptic error messages and sound bugs that should have been taken care of a long time before this was shipped.

    I tend to review KOEI titles higher than some other reviewers as I have no interest in panning a game that people have put some effort into; on the surface this is not one of those games.
    • Metascore: 51
    • Critic Score 43
    This formula one just has a few faults and nothing that successfully improves on that formula.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Critic Score 43
    The glaring use of 8-bit menus and what seems to be very low effort produce a game with any depth or redeeming qualities.
    • Metascore: 59
    • Critic Score 43
    It's obvious that they put little or no effort into developing this turd, and Atlus should be embarrassed charging a full $60 for it.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Critic Score 43
    However, I get very angry when a game aims for the ground and misses. And falls over. And then poops itself. That's Arcade Sports in a nutshell.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Critic Score 43
    It’s a shame that Bientôt l’été is a game that is almost certain to be forgotten as the broken mess that it is. I really thought this game had some great concepts, but the unworkable controls and awful matchmaking destroy any chance it had. If you can find it on sale cheap—we’re talking under 5 bucks—and you really like the French New Wave, you might be interested. Otherwise, I’d definitely pass.

    If you wanted to play with the newly designed Transformers but only have a Wii, go out and purchase a PS3 or Xbox 360 and a copy of War for Cybertron. You might be spending more money, but it will be well spent compared to this game.
