    Why wasn't this fun?

    Super Monkey Ball DS

    By JMC47 | Review Date: Sep 04, 2006 | DS

    Why wasn't this fun?

    I love the monkey ball series... well used to, this year has been a bad year for monkeyball. This game, has all the levels, multiplayer, and anything else the console games had except the fun. GAME PLAY Difficult.... Read Full Review

    By JMC47 | Review Date: Sep 01, 2006 | DS

    Turn based strategy on the DS, say it isn't so

    Even though, I never played an advance war title before this point, I knew what the series was about, and I jumped right in. GAME PLAY I have to say I love the game play. Its turn based strategy at its best for a ... Read Full Review

    By JMC47 | Review Date: Sep 01, 2006 | DS

    Falls into the abyss of slow downs

    I played a lot of soccer games. I'm the rare American who enjoys the video games, but overall could care less about the sport itself. Anyway, this game is too easy, too rudimentary, but can be fun in short... very shor... Read Full Review

    Simple fun in a short game.

    Canvas Curse, is one of the first kirby games I've played in a long time, and I have to say I liked Kirby 64 much better, but as with touch controlled games, they are much different. You have to admire what Nintendo di... Read Full Review

    By JMC47 | Review Date: Sep 01, 2006 | DS

    A 10 year old concept finally put in a commercial game.

    Let us all go back 10 or so years for a moment. Back in the last days of the SNES, there was a Star Fox 2 game in development. Unfortunately, it wasn't finished in time for the consoles life. The beta does exist on th... Read Full Review

    By JMC47 | Review Date: Aug 28, 2006 | GBA

    Far from perfect, but still a hell of a ride.

    This game, is a fun, but short romp through a linear, but engaging story. The game isn't completely different than something you probably played before, but for what its worth, your bound to have fun at some point. G... Read Full Review

    This game was a disappointment for the sole reason it was not as good as its predecessor.

    I hate to compare games... actually I don't myself. Most people don't like to compare games to other games, but then how can you say one is better than the other. This game is no where near as good as MP1, from its lin... Read Full Review

    Hands down the greatest hand held port ever.
