In spite of a few omissions, Another Age is near exactly the expansion that gamers were looking for.

The handling is drastically better than it was on the PSone, but horrendous anti-aliasing issues, draw-in, and loading times are still present.

It's as close to a non-EA Sports "must-have" game as any of the PS2 launch titles.

What's the point of having 3D graphics if the gameplay doesn't even make an attempt to break into the Z-axis?

What set out to be "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" with bikes has turned into a pretty dull aping of the Pro Skater experience with numerous graphic and gameplay issues.

Features the same ingredients that made the original delightful, but with new villains and a well thought out story.

Some of the mini-games are pretty bad and the single player mode is still not worth trying, but on the whole this is a very enjoyable game.

At times the game is a confusing mix between the real and the surreal, but the saddest truth is that this unique experience is over much too soon.

A fine squad-level strategy RPG and one of the last excuses you'll have to spend 30 or 40 hours with your PSone.

Full of eye-candy and finger-blistering, non-stop action, Silpheed will please any shooting fan.

The actual gameplay has changed imperceptibly in Mutant Academy 2, but six new characters and six new stages make it feel like a much more complete fighting game.

A leaden interface almost completely nullifies any enjoyment one might derive from this otherwise unique blend of action, adventure and puzzle elements.

If you are looking for a historical strategy sim you will be disappointed with Kessen's superficial treatment of military planning. But if you are seeking eye candy and a trite but entertaining story you'll likely be thrilled with this title.

Offers precious little new to the series, and is sorely lacking in inspiration. Namco has released a derivative knock-off of its own series.

Unless you've got a thing for mediocre fighting games with half-animal women dressing in shamelessly whorish outfits, there's not much to see here.

Just another kart racer. It's really not interesting or fun enough to set itself apart from the million other kart racers on the market.

With new gameplay modes and new challenges, Dr. Mario 64 is a fresh and entertaining experience even to gamers who have spent countless hours playing its forerunners. It may be short on innovation, but it's a pleasing remake of a masterfully crafted formula.

While some subtle improvements have been made, many of the game's original flaws remain, including lackluster gameplay and a dull story.

Slightly above average graphics, bland and repetitive gameplay and little to no innovation combine to make this arcade racer quite forgettable.

With its frantic pace and gorgeous visuals, it’ll have everyone in the room clamoring for a shot at the action.

Though it has plenty of rough edges, the wacky cartoonish graphics and the bizarre sense of humor compensate nicely. Excessive loading is obnoxious.

A few scattered mini-games and some creative segments help to break up the been-there, done-that monotony, but still don't manage to extend the game's lifespan more than a couple of hours.

While it lacks multiplayer and there isn't a whole lot to do once the game has been completed, Deep Fighter's 36 missions will keep the gamer interested for long enough to justify its cost.

Gameplay is pretty shallow stuff, but it's also somehow more intense, and much more challenging, than recent games in the series.

The pitcher-batter interface works well but an enormous list of bugs and flaws probably related to a shrinking development budget are just too much to bear.

If you're looking for a deliciously shallow, unquestionably mindless action platformer (the kind they don't make like they did back in the proverbial day), "Strider 2" is a perfect shelter from the storm of "Tomb Raider" clones diluting the market.

Despite expectations, many gamers will find themselves disappointed by Oni's frustrating gameplay and lack-luster presentation. However, Oni is not a total loss, and succeeds at moving us one step closer to a true three-dimensional representation of classics like "Streets of Rage."

The game succeeds on so many levels that the flawed gameplay borders on tragedy. The only reason I felt compelled to play the game was to enjoy the graphics and sound, but unfortunately that isn't enough.
