    The graphics are stunning, especially some of the effects on your visor. From steam fogging it and forming condensation, to water running off of it, there are a lot of cool visual effects. The morph ball transition is seamless and gorgeous.

    To our delight, Rage has done a wonderful job of putting the movie into game form, and at the same time has made a game that is actually good.

    The gameplay is absolutely atrocious. Imagine a game where you can’t turn around without fighting the controller, where jumping is completley inaccurate, and the only way to finish the game is completing controller functions that will quite literally have you hating yourself for picking up this title in the first place.

    The gameplay is very nice, but we’re lacking seriously in the visuals department. While the levels are huge, there is this thick fog around most of them.

    Unlike "Steel Batalion" which could take months to learn how to play, you can learn how to play MechAssault in just a matter of minutes.

    If you can get past the cheap deaths, bottomless pits and no save points, you’ll have a great time with this remake of a classic.

    If I thought the first SONIC was good, I was completely blown away by the second game.

    There is a decidedly cool sense of style to Ratchet & Clank. The game feels much like the classic sci-fi movies, very rounded and artistic, almost retro at times.

    If you’re obsessed with the series, though, and love the super hard modes, you might want to pick the game up. This is also the definitive version for folks who might not have played the game before either.

    The epitome of what a wrestling game should be like.
    • 85 Metascore

    It’s a fan’s dream come true.

    If you want an absorbing game that has everything you could want, I would recommend buying Shenmue II. But you really have to be able to devote tons of time to the game.

    Good, not great.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    There’s not really a grand innovation to the gameplay, and the concept of seeing how much havoc you can cause hasn’t changed much from the last game.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The first thing gamers will notice is that the levels are huge, the goals are plentiful, and basically its everything you know and love about Tony Hawk, except bigger.

    While Contra: Shattered Soldier is a short game, fans of the original will eat it up. It’s also a game for anyone looking for a challenge.

    If you can stomach the language, or have a terrific mute button, Deathrow really is a fun game that can be played alone or with a few friends.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It’s filled with action, and has enough RPG elements to keep it interesting (although the replay value would be subdued for a non-fan because the extras are for the fans).
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A lot of fun, and definitely worthwhile if you have a lot of friends. For solitary gameplay though, you might want to pass this one up.
    • 84 Metascore

    The game looks ten times more impressive that its predecessor, and really outshines almost any other console first-person shooter on the market right now. Explosions look extremely realistic, and the enemies are modeled and rendered pretty well.

    Without a doubt the most realistic basketball game ever to hit the market. It’s got everything a fan could want: franchise mode, online mode, create a player, and the best gameplay around.

    Why is this version so much different than the Playstation 2 one? I understand there were different developers, but the games are so much different and the Playstation 2 version is so much better.

    I like the idea of a simulation driving game but I just don’t think it’s feasible. Confining it to one car hurts the game’s replay value.

    A big problem I’ve had with the game is load times. You can walk across large plots of land with no slowdown whatsoever. But enter a house, and be prepared to sit for a while waiting for the game to load.

    • 67 Critic Score
    As whole, things like the fine tuning of the free throw shooting and shooting just don’t quite compare to some of the other games that will be released over the next couple of weeks. It’s a shame really, but ShootOut doesn’t play as well as the competitors.

    There is some slowdown from time to time, which typical of the platformers of this age. For the most part, though, it's a perfect translation.

    I really enjoyed listening to the music of Summoner 2. The orchestrated music is done perfectly, and really fits the game’s theme.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The gameplay is addictive; there are tons of items in the environment to destroy, tricky enemies to sneak by, and some puzzles to figure out.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The game plays a lot like the Genesis version, but seems a bit more confined as the Game Boy Advance screen size plays a big role in this.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    While outdated, it’s still the best (only?) 2D fighter for the GameCube, and worth a rental.
