Une adaptation correcte pour le titre de Sega, mais qui ne présente aucun intérêt pour ceux qui auront déjà joué à la version GameCube. Super Monkey Ball demeure malgré tout un jeu sympathique et idéal pour tester sa maîtrise de soi.

Conflict: Desert Storm II è un titolo sicuramente migliore del mediocre prequel, ma che tuttavia non riesce a raggiungere livelli qualitativi particolarmente elevati a causa di una serie di lacune a livello di struttura di gioco e di realizzazione tecnica. Il sistema di controllo non è sempre preciso, le routine di AI dei propri compagni di squadra e dei nemici non sono particolarmente brillanti e il gioco può rivelarsi a tratti eccessivamente frustrante a causa di discutibili scelte tecniche. Frame rate non sempre costante e una cosmesi caratterizzata da notevoli alti e bassi sono invece le pecche di un comparto grafico tutto sommato comunque discreto. Ciò detto, Conflict: Desert Storm II rimane nonostante tutto un prodotto piacevole, i cui punti di forza sono principalmente costituiti da un buon level design, uno schema di gioco flessibile e la presenza di una divertente modalità co-operative. Un titolo dunque consigliabile agli amanti del genere, un po’ meno a tutti gli altri.

Line Of Sight déçoit. En dépit des bonnes idées qui président à son gameplay, la platitude de ses missions, la mollesse et la redondance de l'action, et enfin la difficulté du jeu avec ses ennemis au yeux à rayons X dépitent, énervent, fatiguent. C'est pas drôle tous les jours la guerre.

C'est bien dommage pour Heaven & Hell qui partait avec un petit capital sympathie grâce à son concept et son parti pris loufoque mais au final, le titre se révèle presque soporifique tant il est mou et peu varié. Les développeurs auraient-ils cédé à la tentation de la paresse ?

XGRA is a fun racer, but if you're expecting something that plays like XG3 -- don't. These are two different games. Acclaim's latest offering has a lot going for it still. Tight, if heavy control, a seriously improved weapon system that makes for a lot of fun, and the insane tracks that XG fans have come to expect from the franchise. This is a bigger game -- more courses and a slightly expanded Season Mode, too. No doubt, die-hard racing fans will find a good amount to be happy over here, especially at XGRA's reduced price tag. But there are some drawbacks, too, particularly if you -- like me -- know and love XG3 before it. Acclaim for some reason modified the control and physics systems for this sequel -- not bad, but in my opinion for the worse. Meanwhile, some of the additions are nearly useless; there are secondary objectives in races, yes, but most of them barely qualify as a challenge and seem to be added as an afterthought. Finally, what happened to the stunning 60-frames-per-second-fludity of XG3? XGRA runs at half that with constant dips in motion -- a disappointment that has a real bearing on the game as it lessens the sensation of speed, the primary element of any racer. All said and done XGRA is still a worthy racer. But it's far from a perfect one. A few more months of development time might have gone a long way toward ironing out some of the iffy design choices and technical shortcomings. Give it a rental at the very least.

The Advance Wars design is incredibly fun and addictive, and the sequel proves that the game design still works even if you've played the original to death. But you'll just have to keep in mind that the game is made for players looking for more of the same, not for players looking for "more." It's such an incremental improvement over the original that the number 2 in the title honestly doesn't deserve to be there. But don't take this gripe the wrong way; Advance Wars 2 is still one of the finest games to hit the Game Boy Advance, and it's the version to get if you haven't been introduced to the stunning game design.
