May disappoint some die-hard fans of survival horror because of its relatively short length and the way it occasionally trades action for atmosphere.

Incorporates many elements familiar to the genre in different ways, and wraps them all in an intriguing story that gives this game its own distinct feel.

Just enough to satisfy the average player without including statistical and gameplay options that would have stretched the release date and production costs out to an unacceptable level.

Leveraging great depth, wonderfully simple play mechanics, and competent graphic touches, this game should last as long as an official baseball season.

While it suffers from a few somewhat glaring flaws, it contains a deep narrative structure and a surprisingly interesting adventure motif that should excite fans of the genre and those who like complex storytelling.

There's not much else to be excited about. It is an average beat-'em up with some nice visuals...The combat is too disjointed, the gameplay feels distant, and the fighting engine is too simple.

Small issues aside, it's hard to go wrong with the generally realistic, technically superb and enjoyable gameplay found in Triple Play Baseball.

With a simple-to-use swing interface and fast, fluid gameplay, Tiger Woods 2001 offers a level of playability that users will take pleasure in for a long time.

The racing environments suffer from the PlayStation 2's notorious texture limitations.

Certainly a unique first-person shooter and despite the feeling that this particular variety of horror and suspense seems a tad contrived at times, gameplay is actually fresh and warrants a good look by fans of both first-person shooters and survival horror.

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.

A decent game with the mammoth Star Wars license couldn't have come at a better time for the system.

Ultimately, the story makes the game, albeit with interspersed and occasionally annoying action sequences. But each combat has a purpose, which makes gameplay challenging and rewarding.

The point of the cut-scenes is simply to connect the different, playable parts of the game and, since those parts of The Messenger are so good, small cracks in the method of connection can be forgiven.

A great game for any console, with fun control and a variety of options that will keep players coming back for more.

The military model is the most simplistic with limited troop options and strategies. As war-gaming, it's barely more complex than "Civ II."

The game interface is not easy to understand or utilize. The tiny icons are difficult to make out and the small written cues that pop up at the bottom of the screen are in a thematic naval font that is impossible to read.

Unfortunately, all of these nicely designed elements are somewhat wasted due to the irritation caused by actually flying the planes.

An unoriginal clone of most other kart games available for consoles and for the PC. If you don't have a kart game in your collection, it might be worth picking up, but if you do, skip it.

It is creative, beautiful, and most importantly, it is a great deal of fun from the very beginning to the very end.

Don't believe the hype.

The final problem, though, is the game's absurdly easy nature. It takes no time at all to expand your park to crazy dimensions, and most of the challenges are quickly dispensed with.

Driving Emotion Type-S is to racing what fingernails are to a chalkboard.

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.

Playing the larger missions is more tedious than fun because of path finding and unit management problems.

Just the right mix of graphics, sound and strategy to make for an entertaining evening of orc-bashing.

The simple fact of the matter is that the Championship Mode, which by all standards should offer a wealth of challenges, is much too easy and predictable to keep even casual fans interested for very long.

An awkward interface, combined with a limited plot, makes for an unfulfilling rote adventure.
