    Its weak event lineup will leave it in a prime spot to be overcome once "International Track and Field" enters the competition.

    Nothing more than a fun, nostalgic 2D platforming romp that will only appeal to true hard-core fans.

    Oni
    Definitely more interesting than most third-person action games, though it's hindered by a variety of interface problems.

    A good diversion for bored cyber-deer hunters itching for diverse creatures that stalk back, but it's obvious that this series is falling somewhat behind the curve.

    By no means a bad game, but it's going to require a lot more than a quick tune-up and lube job if it ever wishes to turn the corner and become a great PS2 racing game.

    Despite its flaws, serious Quake III fans will want to snatch this up right away.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Although slightly better than "NFL GameDay 2001," and we mean slightly, GameBreaker 2001 falls way short of our expectations because of its poor gameplay and spotty AI.

    Despite the graphical shortcomings, Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo offers some of the best shooter action on the Nintendo 64, especially now that the system is hurting for good titles.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Most gamers will enjoy the game's straightforward approach, and there is plenty for hard-core fans to sink their teeth into.

    Despite its flaws and little imperfections, it still manages to deliver a fun gaming experience...though we can't help but feel that it's missing something...(multiplayer).

    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The slow-paced gameplay and monotonous platform-style action is likely to grate on your nerves and provide more than a few bouts of exhausted frustration.

    • 70 Critic Score
    An incredibly deep and versatile tactical battle simulator, which is fun at first, but not complete enough to provide a compelling long-term play experience.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A light and fluffy offering that's just right for kids, albeit a bit too shallow for more mature gamers looking for a challenge.
    • CNET Gamecenter
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solid, fun to play, and irritatingly addictive.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Even with the game's wealth of gameplay modes and excellent sound, the developers' failure to provide analog support and to improve the game's frame rate really hampers the franchise.

    If you like the horror-survival genre, or are a big fan of Resident Evil-style gameplay on the PC, Dino Crisis is definitely worth checking out.
    • CNET Gamecenter
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Apart from a small assortment of new moves and costumes, there is almost nothing in the game to distinguish it from previous installments.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Frequent and unexplained crashes, constant lockups, myriad bugs, and an insane difficulty level mar what otherwise could have been an outstanding and addictive adventure on the high seas.
    • CNET Gamecenter
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though the gameplay is somewhat old hat, there is enough variety and challenge in this game to make it a worthwhile purchase. The adventures are well balanced, and the visuals are outstanding.

    Though not dithpicable, this game is merely average compared to other third-person action-adventure titles for the PlayStation.
    • CNET Gamecenter
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite the fact that Dinosaur boasts 12 full levels, each is pathetically short, not to mention extremely easy, usually only consisting of a couple of quick puzzles briefly interrupted by occasional fight sequences. Unfortunately, those are also short and terribly dull.

    The same old Tomb Raider action.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A fine example of arcade-flavored supercross action done right.

    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While the graphics certainly aren't horrendous, they lack overall polish.

    It still feels like a "Civilization II" knockoff at times, rather than its own game. As such, it should pacify fans until "Civ III" comes out.
    • CNET Gamecenter
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A good first effort, but it's too derivative of Half-Life in many spots, and it lacks focus and polish.
    • CNET Gamecenter
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Relies heavily on stealth tactics and interesting scenarios, but often finds itself without a clear course for entertaining and compelling gameplay.

    • 60 Critic Score
    The tight handling we grew accustomed to in Vigilante 8 is nowhere to be found. Instead of having massive tires to keep you on the road, you have to deal with unruly floating vehicles that glide all over the place; turning and weaving in and out of tight spaces can prove difficult.

    Because Gunbird 2 is such an insanely hard game, casual gaming fans are warned to stay away. Only hard-core fans of the genre need apply.

    With all those freshly minted copies of "Madden 2001" on the shelves, there's no reason to pick up NFL GameDay 2001.
