By far the most enjoyable incarnation of the series, as the use of Microsoft's Xbox specific online service enhances the whole community idea thing.

If you are looking for a very rich, fantasy-themed MMO with a very large community behind it and an enjoyable PvP system, this is definitely the game for you. If you are looking for twitchy instant gratification, carry on... There is nothing to see here.

Super Mario Sunshine plays pretty much like it's 64-bit predecessor and controlling Mario has never been easier.

There is definitely a good foundation here but with average graphics, mediocre gameplay and a lack of depth this title stays behind the pack.

The sound is fairly lackluster. But overall the game is rich and inviting, with a great storyline, lots of playable characters and an abundance of items for you to collect.

While the game conveys a good sense of realism, I can't help feel that it's somewhat linear. The tracks become too familiar until more are unlocked. Otherwise, Tokyo Extreme Racer is excellent.

This game takes all the best aspects of "SSX" and combines them with some Tony Hawk style gameplay to create a happy medium. While Cool Boarders 2001 can't hold a candle to "THPS," there is a very solid game here.

Echelon didn’t live up to its hype, and although the graphics can keep your eyes interested, the shallow entertainment of air combat will not.

With very few negatives and a lot of positives you cannot go wrong with this game.

A kick ass looking shooter. Unfortunately the length of the game combined with the unlimited continues makes it a short experience.

It plays well, and above all it is fun.

With great graphics and addictive gameplay Sega again shows why they are a leader in both the arcade and home videogame market. The only real problem here is that this game has to be played with a light gun.

Colorful environments and entertaining animations complete with Nintendo's patented stable of sounds ensure repeat enjoyment and lasting value.

The great difficulty is a good challenge to the hardcore shooter fan, and the extras are well worth the effort.

Control is generally good and the sound really helps out. Unfortunately, I cannot overlook the sometimes overly sensitive camera and the instances when the aforementioned control does become confusing.

This game is perfect for the promising portable (GBA), but on the N64 it comes across as a haphazard attempt at putting *one more game* on the market before the system's demise.

A very complex and fun to play strategy game, with enough modular options to keep the gameplay different each time you play it.

The learning curve is straight up with no handholds or shortcuts; there is just no quick way to get going on the servers. However, once you get a hand on the gameplay, Tribes 2 will definitely be a title that will keep you coming back for more.

The extensive Pokedex and library reference guide are almost worth the price of admission alone. Add to that, the capability of the Transfer Pak to access Pokemon from the Game Boy versions and things really begin looking up.

Improvements over the PSX version graphically, and the inclusion of more missions make this title a sure bet for owners of the PS2.

I think this game offers us far more than any other game we have seen before. Think of its functionality! Buy six and you’ll have the most fashionable coaster set a gamer could ever want!

The humor and voice acting are at the very top of any game list and make playing MDK2 an absolute pleasure.

I can only recommend this game to those who still play UO and enjoy it for the obvious benefits of the new interface and access to the new continent.

Plain and simple, Black and White is the most engrossing game I've seen in a while.

All of this as well as crisp, colourful graphics and clean, clear entertaining sound make it the definite BEST first person shooter to come out on PS2 so far.

Stellar.

I found that In Cold Blood moved along too slowly, and the action to be far too tame in some levels, and practically nonexistent in others. The plot had huge potential but it really failed in pushing the player forward with any kind of enthusiasm.

The process of learning prolonged dance patterns as the game unfolds can be a bit of a bummer. Still, the story and characters are enteraintaining, the graphics are uplifting, and selection of familiar popular dance tunes will keep you grooving.
