    • 75 Critic Score
    If you can make it past the cuddliness, there is some good napalm throwing fun to be had.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    An excellent game, but needs some polish to catch up to "NBA 2K3" and "NBA Live 2003."
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    In any full 3D combat game, targeting can sometimes be a difficulty, and in War of the Monsters, that manifests as an irritating inability to switch cleanly between targets.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A lot more difficult to learn and to play than it ought to be... [but] a great game.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Clearly designed by people who by-God know their Simpsons minutiae...An excellent-looking, perfect-sounding, perfectly-playable arcade game, albeit one of many missed opportunities.
    • 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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Absolutely runs away with the title of most visually and technically impressive game for the PlayStation 2... Unfortunately, the developers shot themselves in the foot with the actual game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore

    A truly Kaufmanesque moment occurs in Exhibition mode, when you can elect to face Andy Kaufman as Andy Kaufman. He would have loved that.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you just want something to race in circles while oohing and aahing over the purty but extremely exaggerated lens flare, this isn't for you. Sega GT 2002 is a game with substance.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Delivers what you'd expect. You want lots of explosions, and lots of things to shoot at, and they're on the disk.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Racing along bumpy gravel or icy roads at breakneck speeds is a great thrill, despite some unrealistic collision mechanics.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The lack of a two-player mode (reportedly dropped due to shipping deadlines) and no ability to simply roam around the city without time limits and seek out its many hidden areas and shortcuts is nigh-on criminal, especially the latter.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Together, the sum of these interesting parts holds up quite well.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Some of the puzzles were just a little too peculiar and, if you even manage to figure them out, may leave you thinking “How was I supposed to figure THAT out?”
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The zoo theme is a lot of fun. Newcomers to sim gaming may get more bang for their buck, but oldtimers with a Noah (as in the Ark) complex will enjoy it as well.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Eerily successful at creating a creepy, spine tingling atmosphere. The music and sound effects perfectly match the suspenseful story.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The biggest disappointment of Hot Pursuit 2 comes in the multiplayer. There is no way to have one player be the speeder and the other player be the cop. Either you're both racers, or you're both cops. This is a terrible omission.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a hefty new multiplayer package, considering that this an expansion and you sometimes don't get 12 multiplayer maps in a regular full game. Frankly, it helps compensate for the fact that the single player campaign is so short.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The numerous engine tweaks, the engaging new story and the insane challenge of the Heart of Fury mode make HOW a very appealing expansion.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It took me almost an hour before I GOT King's Field: The Ancient City--and then the experience suddenly became charming, challenging and rewarding.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Depending on your gaming tastes and how much you played Wave Race 64, you will either love this game or think it is nothing more than a technology demo that showcases the graphical prowess of the GameCube and offers nothing that gamers haven't played before.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    You mostly-thumbs types will find single-handedly controlling the chariot (while ever watching the pace meter) a bit of a nightmare on the medium and hard levels, but it's all the more reason to bring a friend in for some co-operative race combat.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The best kind of console conversion--one that isn't obvious. PC gamers wanting an extreme sports rush have found their hit.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Only improves on its ancestor title, and rewards the tenacious gamer with a big story, creepy locales, big weapons, and lots of frenetic grue.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There is tons of RPG combat, which is a little too slow for some people and slowed even further by all of the spectacular but lengthy spell animations.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    I was pleasantly surprised by the upgrades made from last year's version...The two biggest problems that I had were with the passing game and fast breaks.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you're a fan of action games and don't mind a dense storyline and some hunt and peck adventure-style clicking, you'll get a thrill or two out of Headhunter.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A very fun--yet flawed--RPG at sea with lots of gameplay to keep you sailing for weeks (if not months) on end.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It will keep you playing, and provide reason to replay. It doesn't however, manage to maintain the brilliance that it hints at in the opening level.
