While the game isn't bad by any means, it just doesn't stand up to the other games on the market.

With four people joining in, the number of onscreen explosions, pig-speech comments, and all-around nuttiness nearly lifts the game into the same sphere of quality as Worms or Bomberman.

With so many better supercross games on the market, many of them older and available at similar bargain-basement price points, Motocross Mania has no place in the market.

MTV: Pure Ride is an excellent snowboarding game, but it's yet another example of a development house shifting the majority of its resources to the next generation of hardware.

MTV Skateboarding is a perfect example of cashing in on a recently established genre, yet unlike games like Street Sk8er 2 or Grind Session, it doesn't bring anything worthwhile to the table.

EA added the new coach mode and polished an already stellar game into the best college hoops simulation for the PlayStation.

NFL Blitz 2001 takes a low-key approach, delivering much the same features as last year's release while offering a number of minor refinements in key areas.
