    Moving and controlling Wario is very simple, and very fun.
    • Metascore: 65
    • Critic Score 85
    Overall, you’ll find yourself playing all day, wanting to reach 100% in each level. And you'll have a fun time doing it, too.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 85
    Definitely recommended for the experienced gamer due to its difficulty; it would have been a wise move by Crawfish to include a setting in options.
    • Metascore: 58
    • Critic Score 85
    Although there’s no multiplayer, the replay value is durable, not to mention the nicely done graphics and the incredibly impressive sound.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 85
    Simply the pinnacle of portable racing so far. Sure, there’s more to come in the genre, but this game is the definition of perfection. Developer Spellbound and publisher Ubi Soft really outdid themselves with this one and it shows.

    Phantasy Star Collection can last you for over 100+ hours of pure RPG bliss over the three games.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 85
    You must realize Ghouls n’ Ghosts is a very hard game and you have to forgive the occasional instant death. Then you will really get addicted to the gameplay with the help of the good graphics and music that Capcom has created.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Critic Score 85
    I love the variety of choice in the matches, but I hated the grapple-controls.
    • Metascore: 72
    • Critic Score 85
    Another solid FPS GBA game that has great multiplayer modes and twenty-two intense and varied levels.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    The extreme fun will end with a short trek but you'll get true gaming bliss during the process.
    • Metascore: 69
    • Critic Score 85
    In my opinion, ANY game that actually makes you want to see the movie and even read the books is a good one, and that game did just that.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    It’s one of best top-down racers we have ever seen... I love the mixing of 2D and 3D graphics seen here.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 85
    While it may not be as complex as the GameCube version, it certainly does what it intends to do well.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 85
    As I got more into it, the game hooked me more with deeper, more challenging levels. It also has me coming back trying to find all the bonus levels and scrapbook shots. Another great platformer for the GBA.
    • Metascore: 82
    • Critic Score 85
    There's only a few things that keep Ninja Five-O from being a perfect game: one save file, tiny graphics, and most importantly, the lack of a connection to "Hawaii Five-O."
    • Metascore: 72
    • Critic Score 85
    An awesome pickup for any Yu-Gi-Oh! fan.
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 85
    Trying to describe why this game is fun, why the challenge of playing these games, which alone are stupid and even moronic, but together mesh so well and are fun, is not easy.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 85
    It has great new features like instant replay, swinging on poles, punks who control the park and of course the music is totally revolutionary.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 85
    A fun but short adventure that is worthy of a rental.
    • Metascore: 83
    • Critic Score 85
    A great platformer but can be beaten fairly quickly.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 85
    It's simple, it's easy to learn, and it's fun. I declare the GameCube's first online game to be a success... However, I cannot stress enough that it isn't worth your time and money if you're not going to play online.
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 85
    The only real problem I had with the game is one you have to push "A" 71 consecutive times to pull that many Pikmin out of the ground, and with only 30 days this gets time consuming.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Critic Score 85
    If you really dig "SSX though," you might not take too kindly to 1080. If you’re just somebody wanting to have a little fun from time to time, 1080 is your game. Unfortunately, like most racing games, it can be mastered rather quickly.

    Even my friends, those who hate anime with a burning passion have found love in this cel-shaded action game. Definitely the best mech game in existence.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 85
    Hands down this is by far the best Mortal Kombat ever made and possibly the best fighter available for the GC. There is so much to this game, a deep and satisfying fighting system, new fatalities (although not enough), beautiful visuals and tons of goodies to unlock.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 85
    The massive levels are probably the highlight of the game and they themselves offer hours of fun just driving through enjoying the scenery.
    • Metascore: 87
    • Critic Score 85
    I found the replay value to be a little too shallow for my liking. I need a game that pulls me into its world and keeps me there.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Critic Score 85
    There's no limit to the replay value here, unless you just flat out don't like the game or its multiplayer mode.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 85
    For amateurs it is a button-mashing contest, for professionals it takes skill and strategy. That’s the only catch. People who dislike the randomness of hitting as many buttons as fast as they can will be turned off by the first impressions Knockout Kings presents.
    • Metascore: 71
    • Critic Score 85
    Anybody who loves platforming will like this game. But I’ll warn you that the platforming is a difficult challenge at times, and the final boss is one of the hardest I've met since maybe Jet Force Gemini.
