    Having one of the greatest RPGs ever made in your pocket is simply too awesome not to recommend.

    While "Final Fantasy IV Advance" has always been a favorite of mine from the SNES era as I grew up with it and enjoyed the shorter game with the emotional plot, this game really knocks the bar up a notch with quality gameplay and a more involving and ever evolving plot.

    There truly is much to do here for those who are fans of the game Sudoku given the 1,000 puzzles and the ability to create and save 20 of your own as well.

    An excellent title overall and has been modified and upgraded in a way that it comfortably moves its way into this decade.

    It's true that Tales of Phantasia isn't the huge RPG that it was back in the SNES era, or even the shadow of newer RPGs from last generation, but it is still a warm, heart-filling experience that anyone who can overcome hours of tough, continuous battling will enjoy.

    Any way you look at it Drill Dozer is an amazing piece of software. Although Drill Dozer looks like it has taken some cues from some of the best 2D games in history, it still manages to create a style of its own.

    With the added new perks to the gameplay, new adaptive areas, and added fan service allows for enjoyment from old fans and new.

    Its deep RPG mode and over-the-top game mechanics are perfect for gamers who are willing to try something different in the world of tennis.

    This must-buy game is not for the weak of heart. There's enough action here to wear your thumbs out for entire days.

    A great way to show off the DS’s innovative features, and it is also a great game with a humorous story.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Some areas can be moderately to excessively aggravating which can bring down the amusement value of the title, especially for the younger audiences I would imagine.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Bland, uninspiring visuals that include big-headed characters, dull environments, and insipid art direction. The cutscenes are nicely done, though.

    Is the game perfect? No, it has some problems, but if you are willing to look past the little qualms, you will be surprised at what a remarkable game Sigma Star Saga really is.

    I was delighted to find such a different approach and concept that somehow worked so well. My only real complaint is the inventory system, and frankly that is in itself, trivial.
    • 67 Metascore

    I hate to penalize an overall score just because the game feels re-hashed, but some of the gameplay is feeling old. Still, MMBN 5 is above average.

    There is truly no game experience like Yoshi: Topsy Turvy, and this puts it in a unique place. For what it is, Yoshi's latest adventure is a success, but one could only imagine what a great game this could have been.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Just as good as the original, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table. For fans of the series and newcomers this is a great thing.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Its fun and quirky nature will pull you in and won't let you go until you're done with the game, and even then you'll come back for more.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    It's just not enough substance or challenge for a serious gamer.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The graphics capture the charm of the beloved cartoons series, but the repetitive game structure hampers the overall gaming experience.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The variation and additional game modes lack brilliance and make the game suffer from being a completely enjoyable experience.

    Taking Mario Party on the go is a great idea, it just wasn't implemented in the best fashion possible this time around.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    The overworld map -- while bearing minor resemblance to the layout of previous games -- is much larger than you'd think and the dungeons are as big, fiendish and ingenious as ever with a perfect learning curve.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game contains an unprecedented amount of detail to make this experience as close to the previous Metal Slug games as possible.
    • 79 Metascore

    These games aren't as flashy as current greats like "Golden Sun," but they are solid old-school RPG's and great in their own right.
    • 30 Metascore

    A game that shouln't have been as bad as it is. If you take away the frustration and boredom, this game might have worked.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Great overall game, challenging and fun, you'll be playing for hours.

    All things considered Castlevania holds up extrememly well dispite its age. The level design is great, and the overall experience of fighting the undead is not so much different then modern games.
    • 73 Metascore

    Any game that holds up more than a decade later is definitely one to watch, and Zelda II is one of these games.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great game worthy of the Classic line, but the difficulty will turn off many prospective gamers.
