    The Watchmaker (2001)
    The story is fairly solid, though sci-fi based, and the background and environments are quite beautiful in places, but the voice-acting, pace, gameplay, and interface conspire to set the entire production only slightly above amateur material.

    Blair Witch Volume III: The Elly Kedward Tale
    There are several logic flaws that severely diminish the game's storyline.

    Bust-A-Move 3000
    Since there is almost certainly going to be another release in the series, pass on this and get "EggMania" instead.

    Alfred Hitchcock presents The Final Cut
    This "nail-biting thriller" has more plod to the plot than most Agatha Christie novels, and use of the psychic abilities of the protagonist, Joseph Shamley, is sorely needed to make sense of some of the baffling leaps in continuity.

    Nightcaster
    The current system is too cumbersome for an action-oriented game, and the inability to save anywhere only makes things even more frustrating.

    Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball
    Has a few brief flashes of fun but no sustained action. Fanatics of the sport may keep it for awhile, but most gamers will recapture the hard disk space as quickly as possible.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Futurama
    Is Futurama fun for fans of 3D platform or shooter games? As Leela once said, "At the risk of sounding negative, no."
    • 73 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
    There is an expression that beauty is only skin deep, which fits Xtreme Beach Volleyball to a tee. Those who purchase this game will soon discover the beautiful graphics are hiding a shallow, pointless game underneath.

    Legend of the North: Konung
    A good idea that fails to survive the transition from concept to actual gameplay.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Silhouette Mirage
    This once excellent, oddly addicting title that appeared on the Saturn three years ago has become little more than a tedious chore to play.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    X: Beyond the Frontier
    With over 10,000 objects in the game's universe, there is quite a bit to see and no one's going to tell you how or when to see it in this open-ended space adventure.

    ESPN International Winter Sports 2002
    Yet another Olympic-style contest failing to deliver gold when it comes to the most important aspect of any title: gameplay.
    • 64 Metascore

    Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open
    All of the problems the off-road games have experienced in the past are as visible in this version as a Hummer with its high beams on.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor
    Most significantly, Ruins of Myth Drannor does not accomplish the depth of story, the detail of character customization, or the engulfing campaign world that made the original Pool of Radiance such a memorable adventure.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Timeline (2000)
    The battles, the excitement, and the potential mix of science fiction with history, is all lost in a stilted game environment that was obviously crafted by Crichton's vision of what the game should be vs. the ultimate goal of creating a good game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Star Trek Away Team
    More of the same uninspiring gameplay that makes the license unappealing to game developers. Its failure to adhere to simple precedents or develop surprising action involving interesting characters empties yet another promise of a quality title.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Turok: Evolution
    Perhaps Turok would have been more acceptable had it been released a few years ago, but the genre has, interestingly enough, "evolved" to the point where this game looks and plays downright primitive.
    • 61 Metascore

    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
    As an adventure, CSI should be considered DOA -- its gameplay, clueless.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Nightcaster II: Equinox
    There is nothing in this game that hasn't been done better in every single way than "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance."
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Iridion 3D
    Besides proving it's possible to depict a fast-paced, three-dimensional environment on the GBA, Iridion 3D is yet another reminder of what gamers everywhere already knew: eye candy is no substitute for meaningful gameplay.
    • 73 Metascore

    Oni
    It's an interesting premise with a fine fighting scheme – squandered by sloppy design and bugs. Definitely a title destined for demo-status gone awry and certainly little more than a game for those who like their games with little substance.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Gunman Chronicles
    It's very short and predictable, leaving the graphics to stand on their own as the best feature of the game.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pac-Man All-Stars
    Feels like some goofy little game you might download for free on the Internet and play for a couple of minutes.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Soccer America
    A disappointment.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Stupid Invaders
    Comedy that fails to deliver much of anything in the way of humor is a sad product. All the components for a successful funfest are present but the end result falls flat.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ultimate Fighting Championship: Throwdown
    The action is not nearly violent enough to satisfy one's bloodlust, the characters look different but function essentially the same, and matches lack any form of strategy associated with the sport.

    Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits
    What’s missing is anything to differentiate this collection from the other re-releases these games have seen. Even the most nostalgic gamers won’t find anything to get excited about.

    Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire
    When in search of a movie souvenir to bring home, this may be the better choice, dollar for dollar, compared to the Disney's Atlantis games on other platforms.

    Roadsters
    Could have been a decent racing game, but due to some of the worst physics and controls ever seen in a racing game, it is nothing more than a worthless rip-off.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Triple Play 2002
    Lacking just about everything that makes their top-shelf titles great, namely the depth of modes and the attempt at re-creating the nuances of the sport, Triple Play 2002 is an action-heavy game that needs a complete overhaul in player models, fielding, pitching, and options.
