    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite a new locale and seven characters, this Diablo clone does little to rise above its progenitor.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An exciting ride that successfully expands on the aspects that made the original so popular.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The fact that it sticks so closely to the formula of its predecessors is both its greatest strength and biggest weakness.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    An exceptional game and one that stays with you long after you've switched off the power button.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The manner in which the screen moves can actually make you sick, and the enjoyment isn't enough to overcome that aspect.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It just performs exactly like a superhero-based game should, delivering solid gameplay, a smooth learning curve, and enough variety to keep the levels fresh.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In the hands of designers who will use Geo-Mod technology to mine its full effects to combine creative gameplay and a well-told story, it could be awesome.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Even the game's trick system is automatic; there's literally nothing that takes any skill for you to do.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Ostensibly a fast-paced, “adrenaline-style” rendition of football, the Game Boy Advance version of Blitz is a slow, bare-bones pigskin game that bears little resemblance to its souped-up arcade inspiration.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Although the game applies properties of physics to problem solving, it is so delightfully entertaining that gamers of all ages won't realize the depth of learning involved.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There are flashes of progress to be found in this title, and if 3DO continues to build upon Portal Runner's shortcomings, there is a possibility for a truly decent Army Men game in the future.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ingeniously designed, Advance Wars manages to be both in-depth, and instantly accessible, simply because it presents the game in easily manageable chunks.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A suitable challenger to "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" for best extreme sports game on the PlayStation 2.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Whether re-fueling in midair, trashing a multi-million dollar aircraft by miscalculating your landing corridor, or blowing enemy fighter jocks from the sky in a blaze of glory, the level of sophistication in F-14 Tomcat is as welcome as it is surprising.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Shoddily produced in almost every possible way, Sports Illustrated for Kids Baseball is an inert rendition of the sport that ranks among the worst games based on the national pastime.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    One of the most enjoyable tactical shooters released to date (circa 2002).
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The novelty of the idea soon gives way to awkward controlling and discombobulating camera angles, resulting in an experience sometimes more frustrating than fun.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Suspect physics completely ruin the experience, making the game entirely too easy and ultimately unsatisfying.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Amazingly, the game exceeds both its Super NES and Nintendo 64 ancestors, making it a serious contender for the best kart-racer yet released.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    New features and a solid storyline should keep even the most veteran players busy for quite sometime.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has loads of style, especially in the front end. If you tally up the overall features of the game -- such as the complete design, the front end, the art, graphics, and animation -- instead of just the racing elements themselves, this game comes out way ahead.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Little more than a convoluted, poorly executed variation on "Tetris."
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The presentation is really where Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo shines.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a short ride, but one that's filled with wondrous images, an engrossing story and solid, thoroughly entertaining gameplay.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid entry in the genre, but it doesn't do much that hasn’t been done before in games from Konami or Capcom.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The pace is maintained throughout the game and nearly compels you to finish in one sitting, with the occasional awe-inspiring moment driving you to continue.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While it's not inconceivable that someone would find pleasure playing this game, the vast majority of the buying public should wait for Namco's "Ace Combat 4."
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There are few games that can sustain interest after the initial "oh wow!" factor wears off, but this title does just that with solid, if less convoluted action, that requires RTS thinking with an empire building twist.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Not only is the control awkward and difficult to master, levels are poorly designed and seemingly impossible to complete.
