It's unfortunate that a few things like a more intuitive training level and a lock-on button prevent "Ecco" from greatness.

Even now after two weeks with the fella I feel great joy and look forward to each morning to see what will happen next.

Go in peace son, as your indiscretion with yet another Acclaim-sponsored disappointment has been forgiven... again!

WWF Royal Rumble will appeal more to those who remember those great old arcade WWF games than the more recent offerings.

The game's sound system is simply awful. The game features a single commentator with about as much life as a rock.

Do yourself a favor and definitely check out these furry fighters as they prove that cuteness can be deadly.

"Virtua Tennis" is what "WSB2K1" (baseball) and "Virtua Striker 2" (soccer) should have been (but weren't), and comes highly recommended by this former tennis hater that is all psyched about next week's U.S. Open tournament.

I can see its depth and replayability, but it'll be a cold day in the Florida Peninsual before you see me pick "H&D" for rent anytime soon. It's not my cup of tea.

The control in "Toy Story 2" lies somewhere between barely-acceptable and woefully-inadequate.

The "Soul Calibur" of two-dimensional fighting games.

Recommended, if you're willing to invest the time and six-button controllers to learn the layers of nuisance and depth that go into controlling a 7.2" tall, 445 lb. German wrestler named Hugo (or a Brazilian Capeoira female fighter named Elena that weighs considerably less... ahem!).

As far as graphics and music go, "Bust a Move 4" looks and sounds the nicest of any previous games.

I'd still rather play "Dynamite Cop" with its humor and imagination. "ZR" was game I had high hopes for but in the end falls way too flat.

Let's just put it this way, if you have a Dreamcast and there isn't a "Soul Calibur" Disk sitting close by then you're getting ripped off.

This will be Dreamcast's best baseball game ever, but it's just as flawed and full of imperfections as the line-up of PS2 contenders.
