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.

Marred by a dodgy interface, "Toy Story 2" nonetheless knows how to flex its might like a championship weightlifter.

The design leans far too heavily on passive, informational sequences rather than immersing the user in what is potentially an incredibly interactive environment.

Where this game excels, though, is the fast, fluid gameplay and the tight controls, which thankfully weren't changed, and which are enhanced by the analog controller.

A below-average game with little in the way of compelling gameplay.

Lame graphics, poor audio, and a definite lack of features once again reduce the beleaguered franchise to NIT status.

While certainly not a spectacular, original work of gaming art, The Grinch is a solidly done 3D platformer that effectively makes fun use of a well-known license.

A game that blends all the fun of a long tedious board game with the excitement of staring at a loading screen!

"Fighter Destiny 2" is not a total crime against humanity, but it's pretty close, and given the fact that it plays almost exactly the same as the dusty original, there can be no doubt that the fighting throne certainly doesn't go to this pretender.

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.

With sloppy controls, an uncomfortable camera, poor voices, and awful music, BLSC has little to get excited about, even if you're a hard-core "Toy Story" fan.

The problem is that unless you have the patience to put up with the AI's single-minded fighting style, for the most part you will find joy only in the two-player battles.

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.

An Olympics-licensed title that could have been great is marred by a shoddy control setup and lack of production.

It goes where no Trek game has gone before -- and it should stay there!

If you consider yourself even a casual gamer, don't be enticed by the pretty box: tap the buttons in your mind and run far, far away.

This "Resident Evil" wanna-be falls flat on its undead face.

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

A terrible fishing game that sinks right to the bottom of the pond.

Despite its humongous selection of teams and clean-looking graphics, this version of Sony's college-hoops franchise is just as horrible as last year's "NCAA Final Four" on the PSX, thanks to lackluster, unbalanced gameplay and an incomplete control scheme.

While there are a few interesting spots and plot points, Evil Dead the game has managed to turn one of the most original and entertaining of all B-horror-film franchises into nothing more than a boring, uninspired, and pedestrian attempt to cash in on a license.

Run about? No. Run far, far away.

Even though Freestyle Motorcross's outlandish trick selection and arcade-style flair make it somewhat entertaining, the simplistic gameplay, poor graphics, and limited selection of riders simply don't make it compelling enough to belong in your library.

By far the weakest of the Sega Sports lineup.

Want to play volleyball? Go to the beach and stick to the real thing; this game sucks.

A surfing game that even the biggest poseur would classify as fairly bogus.

Oddly enjoyable for a few hours, but the fun runs out quicker than your AA guns' ammo.

No matter how much fun you had with the first game, this is one to avoid.
