    When all is said and done, The LoD is like your typical one-night stand: it's OK for a quick fix but it's nothing that will get you emotionally involved.

    If you don't mind a lot of draw-in and bad sound effects, you'll be able to stomach this game.

    A grand illustration of a space shooter/space sim hybrid, yet is incessantly hindered by inherent shortcomings and idiosyncrasies.

    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Still contains all the white-knuckle, suspense-filled gameplay that made the PlayStation version so great. Don't go in expecting something extraordinary or new, because you won't find it here.

    A solid combat flight sim that rivals many PC games for challenge and realism.

    Multiplayer novelties aside, 4x4 offers a solid racing experience, even if the game is hampered a bit by some poorly designed night races and cruddy collision detection.

    Part of you will want to see where the story goes, even as another part will want to go back into the dark to suck blood and kill the wicked, and that mix will keep you plowing onward.

    Though decent for the most part, and occasionally fun, the latest entry in the series remains lackluster and is easily overshadowed by the competition.

    A refreshing change of pace from the usually horrid Army Men franchise thanks to its top-notch action, improved mission structure, cleaner visuals, and added multiplayer elements.

    Once the visual thrill and initial excitement passes, there is little here to draw you back for more.

    Although it brings many new things to the table, for every good attribute the game adds, a new problem comes along, be it awkward camera control or flaky targeting.

    Classic blast-everything-in-sight gameplay that's wildly entertaining and highly addictive.

    Should have been an A-list title. But the steep learning curve combined with the touchy controls and unforgiving physics make what's supposed to be fun just plain infuriating.

    Deep gameplay and cross-platform online racing make 4x4 Evolution the best 4x4 game going.

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

    Relies heavily on stealth tactics and interesting scenarios, but often finds itself without a clear course for entertaining and compelling gameplay.

    Competent in all regards yet spectacular in none, it's a pleasantly surprising title worthy of attention from fans of the genre.

    Featuring an all-new game engine to complement its fully licensed collection of Winston Cup drivers and tracks, NASCAR 2001 is a very slick and entertaining new addition to the series.

    A fine example of arcade-flavored supercross action done right.

    There isn't much to complain about with Maze Madness, except that the game is short and easy.

    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    • 60 Critic Score
    More of the same NFL Blitz antics you know and love, but a shamefully sparse set of upgrades steals its thunder.

    While the graphics certainly aren't horrendous, they lack overall polish.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A breath of fresh air on the PlayStation that has the total package of graphics, gameplay, and an arsenal of incredible weapons.

    • 72 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    An incredibly monotonous, extremely boring family game devoid of fun.

    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite the fact that the control interface will do a number on your fingers and forearms, this game gets a gold medal for capturing the Olympic action with its combination of frenetic gameplay and excellent graphics.
