Ci chiedevamo, prima di cominciare, se fosse l'ennesimo flop, l'ennesimo porting da piccolo schermo tanto per far qualcosa; ebbene la risposta è si, anzi, The Shield è addirittura peggio. Con un gameplay da incubo, fatto di ripetitività, frustrazione e noia ed un comparto tecnico che di buono ha solo la realizzazione del protagonista, la creatura Point Of View si colloca tra gli ultimi posti nella classifica ludica del momento, tanto che non ne consigliamo l'acquisto nemmeno ai fan più accaniti della serie. Se proprio volete spendere dei soldi, fatevi un favore, risparmiatevi la delusione e comprate i cofanetti di dvd che raccolgono le puntate del serial televisivo, di tutt'altro livello rispetto al videogioco, davvero da dimenticare.

When it comes to dropping $40 on a game, there better be some lasting appeal to the design to really justify the cash spent. In the case of Legend of the Dragon, The Game Factory has put together a Wii product that – while not broken in any way – has little to no real entertainment value to it. Sure there’s multiplayer and a few different modes, but when it all hinges on a basic, one-dimensional fighting engine it really doesn’t matter. Each fighter feels nearly identical, uses the same three super attacks, and there’s no real depth to the experience to add on top of that. The few Wii motion mini-games (that’s really what they are) can be entertaining a few times, as you’ll drum the controllers against an opponent for a real-world test of strength, but it grows tiresome after only a few iterations, and you’re left with a shell of a fighter with very little to add to the experience. Wrap that mundane fighting experience in a visually unappealing package reminiscent of early GameCube endeavors, and you’re left with a game that’s neither visually or mentally stimulating. There’s simply no getting around it; Legend of the Dragon is a sub-par effort on Wii, and should be avoided at all costs.

The Game Factory has put together a PSP product that – while not broken in any way – has little to no real entertainment value to it. In fact, the game is just as faulty and sub-par on PSP as it was on PS2 and Wii, but sits at a higher price of $39.99. Really? The PSP version is more simply because of the general software prices on the system? What a joke. Ad Hoc multiplayer was included, but when it all hinges on a basic, one-dimensional fighting engine it really doesn’t matter. In fact, there’s even less of an incentive to play this one in vs. mode due to the combined $80 price to do so. Not only is the gameplay poor, but it’s damn expensive as well, and we wouldn’t put $10 towards two copies of the game, much less more than the cost of a PS3 title. As for the core fighting mechanic, each fighter feels nearly identical, uses the same three super attacks, and there’s no real depth to the experience to add on top of that. The super-attack mini-games (that’s really what they are) can be entertaining a few times, as you’ll mindlessly button-mash against an opponent or make on-the-fly combo attacks, but it grows tiresome after only a few iterations, and you’re left with a shell of a fighter with very little to add to the experience. Wrap that mundane fighting experience in a visually unappealing package reminiscent of early PS2 endeavors, and you’re left with a game that’s neither visually or mentally stimulating, and costs as much as any top-tier PSP title. There’s simply no getting around it; Legend of the Dragon is a sub-par effort, and should be avoided at all costs.

Cette compilation porte bien son nom et n'oublie quasiment aucun point important. Entre le choix des Continus infinis ou non, le mode Coop, les différents types d'affichage et bien entendu l'intégralité des épisodes (hors portables et Metal Slug 3D), Metal Slug Anthology représente un beau morceau de choix, qui plus est vendu à bas prix.

Une nouvelle adaptation de licence en dents de scie que cette Légende Du Dragon. Graphiquement très fade, moyennement jouable et surtout terriblement ennuyeux, voici bien un jeu qui ne rameutera pas les foules de jeunes gens bien comme il faut et de passionnés et ce malgré les 18 personnages jouables.

Ce nouveau Mortal Kombat perd d'un côté ce qu'il gagne de l'autre. Tout le monde ne s'y retrouvera pas mais ce parti-pris a le mérite de recentrer le débat en offrant bien plus de personnages jouables dont un inédit sur Wii. De plus, le mode Konquest est plus travaillé et nous fera rapidement oublier le Moteur Kombat qui n'a pas grand-chose pour lui, à commencer par un championnat. Quoiqu'il en soit, cette adaptation d'Armageddon sur la console de Nintendo est parfaitement maîtrisée et offre d'aussi bonnes sensations que sur les consoles concurrentes.

The Shield is one of the most boring, generic games we've ever played, even with a strong character like Vic Mackey. There's really nothing about the gameplay, visuals, sound, or story that can justify a purchase. Both gamers and fans of the show should avoid this one entirely, or else be doomed to a life of self-hatred for spending money on this bust.

On retiendra en priorité de DIRT qu'il est exceptionnellement beau. Destiné à combler les attentes d'un public peu exigeant en terme de réalisme de conduite, il décevra ceux qui l'attendaient comme le premier jeu de rallye de la machine. Plus près d'un TOCA que d'un WRC, il emprunte donc une voie différente de celle que l'on associait à la série Colin McRae. Mais au final, on adhère très rapidement au concept et les heures de jeu s'enchaînent à grande vitesse.
