    The fluid animations and in-depth gameplay will allow experienced and first time players to pick up the game and have fun.

    A pleasant little trip.

    Ridge Racer V is liable to give players flashbacks to the Commodore 64 days when you could start the game loading, go off and eat lunch, and then return to play the game.

    There really aren't a lot of flaws that I can point out in this game, but I do wish that Blake had the ability to jump.

    Despite the repetitive combat and other shortcomings, I found Wild Arms 3 to be pretty engrossing.

    Expect well over 120 hours of play from this bundle, and the three main titles truly are worth your time.

    While not the best first person shooter on the Xbox, Nightfire does an admirable job of capturing the essence of a Bond film and should please the majority of 007 fans.

    As Samuel Johnson once said, “He who has not played "Midtown Madness" will find this game a treat indeed; others may be visited by an unsettling sense of déjà vu.” And that’s also a direct quote. I think.

    The in-game menus are terribly slow to load, f’rinstance, and the era-specific theme music in Evolution mode will quickly drive you over the edge.

    • 95 Critic Score
    A rich, polished game from a developer obviously intent on improving the credibility of its franchise with a focus on solid gameplay, and not just pushing the same tired character into different locations year after year. Right Lara?

    Might I remind you this is the game that finally combines using the Force and starship combat, a concept that is so cool it could chill all the beer at five consecutive Oktoberfests.

    With the increased resolution of the Xbox, the visuals in the game are now simply breathtaking.

    Aside from the talented AI, there are a lot more impressive game features. One of the first things to come to mind is the incredibly deep playbook and coverage set.

    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.

    A few minor tweaks, and maybe some fan-based testing would have put this game closer to greatness, but it still manages to come together and deliver a solid game.

    A well-told story set on a lush planet with varied environments and a strong action heroin makes FAKK2 one of the best 3rd person action games around.

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

    RPGs live and die on factors other than graphics and while LUNAR is weak in the graphic department (other than the first class anime sequences), it makes it up in spades in the more important areas such as plot, characterization and game system.

    What was supposed to be Red Faction’s raison d’être – French for “cool feature designed to make it seem like more than just a cheap Half-Life clone set on Mars”--[the Geo Mod technology] turns out to be its biggest disappointment.

    The thing that I enjoy most about this arcade style hockey is the big hits. You can actually practice the many skills you will need in this game, including driving your opponent through the glass.

    Even if Madden NFL 2001 wasn’t the only game in town, it would still be one of the best football games ever.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Innovative, exciting, and once you look past the visuals (which aren't really awful, just plain), a truly great game to play.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A fun little racing game that has a lot going for it, though nothing sticks out as being overly great.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Striking graphics, realistic environments, interesting and diverse characters--what’s not to like? Really nothing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.

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

    Considering none of the developers are taking the time to make a new game, I'm not going to take the time to write a new review.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Just an especially well polished game.

    Easy to get into but hard to master, Amped offers a surprising amount of depth and graphical splendor for what is basically such a simple premise: point your board down a mountain and become famous in the process.

    In this journalist’s opinion, it was a lot easier to perform tricks on the GameCube version of this game than the Xbox version, thanks to Nintendo’s comfortable and form-fitting controller.
