    If Carmen Sandiego had more educational value I may have raised the overall a point, but with the lack of educational value, we are given a platformer that doesn't have a lot to offer. There are better educational games out there and there are better platformers out there.

    This homage to the old series includes Street Fighter III, which is more than enough to win over 2D fighting game fans. The rest of the collection, however, pales in comparison.

    The pace on the battle system was perfect, and more games should be moving towards the real time battle systems.

    There is not enough new in the game to make you need to upgrade.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    One of the downsides that I thought took away from the game was the lack of a story in the game. So you really never get that connection in the game that really makes you want to go all the way through the game.

    For all of the fans of the original Pikmin, or any strategy enthusiast, you need to go our and buy this game right away.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A huge step ahead of last year's version with a solid Story Mode, great graphics, and plenty of game modes to choose from.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The multiplayer portion of the game is where the game does its best.

    Almost everything about Ghosthunter is great, from the amazing visuals, genuinely creepy sound, and decent story. All it needed was a little bit more behind the gameplay.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The addition of mini-games and online mode are welcome, but the absence of upgrades to the gameplay and the lack of a career mode are huge downsides to the game.
    • 84 Metascore

    For any fan of the tactical shooter fan out there this is one of those games that is just plain fun.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good hack and slash title but not a great one. The lack of variety to the game hurts it in the long run.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Solid in all departments. It has some great RPG elements but nothing that is going to catch the gaming market's eye quite like "Knights of the Old Republic."
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    More of an expansion pack, and a solid one at that.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The single player mode is really missing that premier mode that I only wish was there. If they had a good solid career mode you would have seen a much higher score.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Doesn't make any ground breaking moves to the RPG genre but it does give Gamecube fans an RPG to be proud of.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Unless you are a die-hard fan of the series, most of us can probably stay clear of this one.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game has too many instances where things will be going great and you will be enjoying it and then you will be stuck having to get enough hero points to complete the chapter. The other big downside to the game is the fact that the enemies are more of an annoyance then a challenge.

    Midway has almost got their series down, just add more depth, and some more interesting features, and I can see next year's game is going to be a true winner.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A mediocre wrestling title that has a great list of wrestlers, and game modes, but doesn't have the goods to back it all up.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the best budget titles I have played in quite sometime.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With all of the hype and anticipation surrounding Driv3r, it's a shame the game had to fail so miserably like it did.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The gameplay is average, and the graphics aren't anything to write home about.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An average shooter through and through. The gameplay is average and so are the graphics. There isn't anything new or exciting happening in this game, but mostly things we have seen done better in other titles.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It was a nice breath of fresh air to have these telepathic abilities that worked so well with the game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not the best one on the current generation consoles, but it is the best PS2 tennis game out there.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A game that has plenty to offer fans of the genre, combining great strategy with great action.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    As you get to the later levels of the game the strategy becomes even more complex and the game starts going at its full potential.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Aside from a few missions which have some unexciting objectives, you have a game that combines fun stealth with a good storyline.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For anyone out there who are in dire need of a pure action Mech title for your PS2 you really can't go wrong with Transformers.
