When the levels are as easy as this, you end up spending less time with the music, which is where most of the joy in this game comes from.

While [it] might not be as polished or have the better AI and all the bells and whistles of Madden, it is a very solid football game and offers up plenty of new and innovative features that Madden doesn't.

For those with the patience and will to eventually master the control interface that buries it, Commandos 2 is still an excellent game.

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.

The combination of the game's way-frenetic pace and the fact that you can only carry one weapon at a time (which translates to this being a game you play with a single button) adds up to an undeniably action-packed but ultimately shallow game.

Makes a nice package, and is a good ride for fans of the series. It's probably a little rough on newbies though.

There’s no compelling reason to pull you though the game, like Max Payne’s revenge theme or Solid Snake’s score to settle with his ex-teammates.

A lot of fun, with many different kinds of activities, with an immediate sense of accomplishment. It also has copious amount of practise modes.

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.

A bit of a bimbo, pretty but mindless.

AID:TNN comes off, despite its graphical wizardry, a little…sophomoric. The majority of the cinematic cuts and voice acting are god-awful-bad, and not even in that charming, maybe-they-meant-it, B-movie "Resident Evil" way.

They got it all in there, it's just a little discordant and rough around the edges. And, despite the failings of this game, there is every reason to believe that All-Star Baseball 2003 will be the best console baseball game available next season.

A good softcore tease with a decent wrestling game thrown in. If you're into that sort of thing.

Overall, the game doesn't look bad, but it loses it in the details.

Not only is the gameplay un-revised on this much more powerful platform, but much of the former joy in the series has been drained away. The characters, levels and gameplay are essentially flat.

If you like the combat, you'll be satisfied with Enclave. If you're not, you won't find much else to take an interest in.

At the very least, this is nowhere near the zany, offbeat baseball game ads promise.

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 things they have added do not drag the game down. In many ways they are great improvements. But they don’t go as far towards making the game a truly deep, satisfying RPG as they could.

There is some basic strategy, but once you've got the hang of it, Casino Empire is a pretty simple game.

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.

A decent game. It looks pretty darn good, has a swell sense of speed, and the music adds to the frantic pace (though the sounds bites in the game are kinda repetitive).

This great engine and these great visuals are draped over gameplay that is just so-so.

The poor maneuverability of Mister Mosquito seriously shrink-rays that already little fun, and makes the game a lot more frustrating than it ought to be. Fresh, though, you've got to give it that.

It has strong characters and a story that's better plotted than the last movie, quite frankly. If only that camera was a little more tame.

And while there's only so much that can be done within the confines of the Rocky films, Rocky Legends does an admirable job of giving something solid to not only fans of the movies, but to general boxing fans as well.

Just imagine what it could've been like if Capcom had put some effort into it.

Difficult to recommend despite its points of quality, because its points of...well, weirdness...are so prominent.
