Simplicity is normally a virtue on a handheld, but I'd say this game is too simple.

Those who want more than a clone will be disappointed, those just looking for a good game will be pleasantly rewarded.

For those in the know, the actual Tokyo highways have been painstakingly recreated, so consider this the ultimate vacation.

The best addition is definitely the new multi-passenger fares you can pick up, adding a new, and quite difficult challenge to your taxi driving skills as you try to beat the timer while delivering up to four passengers to different locales.

Due to a sometimes plodding pace, occasionally repetitious environments and one cliché too many, it's no "Half Life." But in a way that's good.

WSPC’s physics make for distractingly wobbly, touchy handling, where oversteering due to jouncing shocks after the smallest of bumps is the norm.

Ultimately, despite the mission briefings and added element of switching cockpits and taking over as the bombardier, the game still gets repetitive.

It is time to stop the bleeding, end the time consuming trend of monster training games and demand something better.

Almost identical to the Dreamcast version. Like a 98% clone identical.

It's a fun game. The more people you get gathered around the PlayStation (up to eight) to play, the more fun it is.

These sort of games are reviewer-proof. They are targeted at a very specific market and are deliberately made as simple as possible.

Will be warmly received by those jonesin’ for a hit of simulated gunplay mayhem. For the rest of us, it’s a worth a shot then best forgot.

So essentially, the graphics, the sound, the story and the puzzles are marvellous. They all add up to one fantastic adventure game.

There isn’t a single satisfying mode you can play Mario Party 3 in, and the sad thing is, all of this boredom could have been solved with one very, very simple option; let the player set the level of game animations they desire.

For what it is, a fast hack ’n’ slash, GDL is a great game. If you’re looking for an action RPG, this ain’t it.

Sounds interesting, and at times it is, but the game often lacks the immediacy to draw players into the Merchant Prince II universe.

If you enjoyed Rune but wanted more multiplayer play, these two new modes offered in Halls of Valhalla will likely do very little to satiate your needs. Action fans should pass on this game altogether and put that same $20 towards "Serious Sam."

Rumble Racing really is all about pin-your-noggin-to-the-headrest-and-flatten-your-cheeks speed.

If you like Kart games, it's worth picking up.

Just consider it a still-good, if a little threadbare hand-me down from your PC-gaming big brother Trip Hawkins.

While not quite as big as "Baldur's Gate II," this game is considerably large, totalling about 100 hours of the single-player gameplay.

It's idiotic. It's also pulse-pounding, addictive, cartoony, loud and grating, and essentially engineered to lay the audio/visual Stigmata on mom and dad hard if they happen to be in the same room trying to read US News & World Report.

In only a few days my anti-videogame girlfriend had become a wide-eyed, pixel staring “let me try this level just one more time” gaming geek.

Even hardcore sim-nuts won't have any quality issues with Tropico; it's the less-experienced who will find themselves initially bewildered, even with the talky tutorial--there's just a lot of detail here, and Tropico seems to take for granted that players know the city-sim drill.

If you are looking for the most authentic title on the market, then this is it.

I'm hooked. It's been a long while since I found myself staying up until 3:00 in the morning for days on end. Come to think of it, the last time I did that was when I used to play "Starsiege: Tribes."

Really, the whole cartridge is more like an added gimmick to the Game Boy games than an actual stand alone product.

[Its] frantic, hard-as-heck action has apparently fused those vital language-center synapses, so fongoo, this review's just gonna peter out because your reviewer's brain is fried.

But although it introduces some exciting new concepts into its gameplay and environment, some of these don’t seem to be as well thought out or tested as they ought to have been, and a few other important game elements seem to have been sacrificed altogether.

I strangely feel a very strong maternal instinct towards my monkey (don't tell my children). I find myself telling him out loud what a good boy he is while rubbing his belly or explaining why I have to spank him.

Its mists, textures, particle blood sprays and lighting make it the best-looking shooter on the PlayStation 2, and maybe even a competitor for best-looking overall game.

It’s more of the same, and slightly better.

It's a fun game for those looking for a 3D shooter gone back to the basics, offering not only a fantastic array of weapons, but incredible graphics, stunning levels and hours of non-stop bullet-spraying frenzy.

Hmmm...step on a landmine, play Green Rogue. Landmine, Green Rogue...Ah! Landmine it is!

One thing I found (and liked) about Away Team is that the direct approach works more often than it did in "Commandos."

Aside from the so-so visuals, High Heat Baseball is the coolest baseball game on the market. If you are looking for life-like action and real baseball strategy, this is the title for you.

This is a great game for those who tire of the endless tank-rushes of real-time strategy games past. Victory is determined not by the speed of the clicks, but rather the strength of decisions.

Combines a top-notch economic/civic model, attractive graphics, and solid real-time combat to give gamers a slice of Chinese history. And that, like all things Asian, is tres cool.

The game has plenty of swearing, and lots of gore. I like running around nearly dead--you leave a big trail of red wherever you go. Ok, so maybe it is over the top, but at least somebody still has some cajones out there.

This attempt to add strategy to combat brings the entire gaming experience (slowly) crashing down, and ruins any chance of the gamer enjoying the story being presented.

Whether you’re old-school or newbie-fresh, there’s no getting away from the perennial curse of survival horror games: Cheesy Voice Acting.

Fans of anime should rejoice in the story, and those looking for a strategic level game for the PlayStation 2 will no doubt be captivated by this intense title.

If you are more interested in a game that looks great and has easy controls and simplified gameplay, then Triple Play Baseball is the right title for you.

Possibly the best all-around baseball game for the PlayStation 2.

This is quality adventure gaming at its best.

The perfect game for the casual baseball fan. The controls are easy to learn, hitting is a breeze, and even at the hardest levels, the AI isn’t that hard.

There’s poo humor galore, but there’s also sly satire, clever parody and deep belly-laughs aplenty. To say nothing of the challenging gameplay, engaging storyline and whacked-out characters.

For right now I would only recommend a purchase to somebody who doesn’t become easily bored by the same course over and over again.

A great-looking simulation but only the hardest of the hardcore are going to be able to get into this game, let alone be able to advance very far.

It had a proven track record of great arcade basketball gaming behind it, and although it is entertaining, this year’s offering fails to live up to that legacy.

It's Kubrick's "The Shining" to most other developers' "Scream 2," and it's the kind of game to play alone, in the dark, with the back door open and a dose of prescription medication in you.

A solid "B" title that could have been better if it was longer, had more bug testing and the designers spent more time working on the quality of the puzzle-solving. It sure is funny, though. Stupid, but funny.

With no horrible complaints or exciting highs it is just another basketball game for the PS2.

The numerous engine tweaks, the engaging new story and the insane challenge of the Heart of Fury mode make HOW a very appealing expansion.

It certainly doesn’t take top ranking for hoop games on the PS2, but it has a lot of nice features to offer.

Now that I've finished this game, I'm kind of hoping the developers will go ahead and create another.

Unfortunately, this writer is unable to provide a worthwhile explanation for such a pitiful display of graphical engineering.

The graphics in this game are awe-inspiring, breathtaking, and at times you might find yourself ducking to avoid a punch from the onscreen opponent you're trying to defeat.

This game fails to make the PS2 hockey play-offs.

Although ATV Offroad Fury is not a keeper for everyone, you don't want to miss playing it at least once.

What it does have is a great story, fun puzzles, and epic battles. Any RPG fan would be absolutely nuts to pass on Paper Mario.

Jaw-dropping graphics, sound and gameplay herein combine and form a lone fabulous, must-have package.

You know you’re in trouble when it takes you five times to get through the first training level of a game, and it freezes on the second.

I'd say this is better than "Sim Theme Park," and worth getting, but if you've already got "Sim Theme Park," you'll probably wonder where the fresh meat is.

Driving Emotion Type-S’ poor physics engine, overly touchy simulation mode, and mediocre graphics regulate the title to the horde of Gran Turismo also-rans that populate the discount bins.

I loved the fighting and I would love to see this engine used again, though I still wonder about what might have been with a little more money and a little more time.

Reminds me a lot of those so-called summer blockbusters. The game itself isn’t that bad, but it just can’t live up to the hype surrounding it.

More dialogue or commentary from your character as you experiment would go a long way to nudging people in the right direction.

After all this time and two tries at the genre, I hoped for something more.

With a boring story and uninspired game play, there is hardly reason to recommend this game, especially with the market filled with RTSes and RPGs that stand head and shoulders above KUF.

America had the potential here for a great game, but that limited multiplayer and weak AI really is a let down.

Unfortunately, the game design doesn’t quite live up to the game play.

A good mythological storyline goes a long way towards making a sometimes-frustrating game a whole lot of fun.

It’s sort of ketchup chip gaming, a little bit sweet, a little bit sour, compelling enough that you keep at it past the point of real enjoyment and feel like your time might be better spent elsewhere, [shrug], wipe the red stain off your hands and have some more.

The game is among the best looking on the N64. The music and sound effects are N64bulous, and a solid narrative connects the game together and ties it into the Star Wars universe.

Better tomb raiding fare than Lara Croft's adventures, and console-wise, it's only available for Nintendo 64 --tell your Sony loving friends to sit that in their CD tray and rotate.

It gets hefty points for not being just a "prettified" version of the one available for PlayStation, N64 and Dreamcast.

Military buffs will no doubt find this an immersive game, even if only in solo play.

Seeing Top Gear Dare Devil’s virtual landscape is like visiting a world-famous tourist attraction on psychoactives.

Riddle of the Sphinx's immersive storyline, hearty exploration sequences and challenging puzzles make this three-CD set an enjoyable--albeit somewhat taxing--experience for the seasoned adventurer looking for a value-priced fix.

Provides a lot of gameplay, and while it can be a bit on the redundant side – which is a problem with the genre as much as this particular title – it does offer a diverse number of environments and themes.

The most important thing to do before setting out to play Earth 2150 is to remember to synchronize your watch, because it does not count to be slow in this game, or things will burn up.

Chock full of the same brain-straining combat that made the series famous, Unfinished Business will delight turn-based tacticians. Conversely, the game is difficult, perhaps needlessly so, and newcomers are warned to either stay away or prepare themselves for many hours of frustration.

Straight-forward, fun, and original gaming.

It falls right in the middle of mediocrity. It may not be good, but it’s not bad either, just very gray.

What is up with the baby?

While not as spooky as a "Resident Evil," there is still a good enough atmosphere to keep gamers at the edge of their chairs.

All it needs for 2002 is the ability to start a riot and you won’t be able to tell it from the real thing.

A very fun--yet flawed--RPG at sea with lots of gameplay to keep you sailing for weeks (if not months) on end.

It’s beautiful, it’s challenging, and it will keep you occupied for a long, long time.

Vastly improves on the original "Civilization: Call to Power" but still falls far short of the original, original "Civilization" series.

Even though there are some weak moments, overall it’s a great deal of fun being the guy who can stop the horrifying Xenomes from destroying humanity.

The physics model in Hitman is a definite milestone in computer gaming. No other computer game to date has been able to achieve the realistic effects you’ll find here.

Brendan Fraser’s running may look a bit…umm…queer, but tight spaces, quick puzzles, and lots of exploration make The Mummy well worth the already-in-the-discount-bin price.

One of the most beautiful, thought-provoking games I've ever played.

Buggy doesn’t quite describe the gaming experience with this rush-job.

While flight sim or "Pilotwings" fans will dig the emphasis on pure flight skill rather than on possessing an itchy trigger finger, they may still be put off by the drab visuals that would look more at home on the N64 than the PS2.

Chess can be intimidating for some people, and the makers of Chessmaster 8000 make it easy for everyone to enjoy the game.
