    A few new weapons, a 3D take and cleaner visuals can't hide the fact that this is essentially five year old game play that Nintendo could have done in its sleep. Although I found Mario Kart 64 to be eminently playable, I just couldn't shake the feeling that it was a knock off of the first game.

    Despite some control issues and flaky computer AI, Ridge Racer 64 is an extremely satisfying addition to Namco's prized franchise. It may have taken a full generation for Ridge Racer to hit the N64 but I think you'll agree with me here, it's never too late for this much fun.

    Gitaroo Man's key is that it truly makes you feel that you are producing the music with your actions and that is very satisfying.

    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.

    As wrestling games go it is probably the best total package.

    A few rough spots, but the "ultimate" in the game's name is no exaggeration.

    The game is full of the little details that define greatness. If Warlords Battlecry II isn't one of the early leaders for real-time strategy game of the year I'll eat my magical staff.

    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.

    It's a decent expansion pack, but nothing so bold that it would cause heart palpitations.

    The game is also annoyingly dark during night missions. Even with the brightness cranked, it was pretty hard to see.

    I like the new modes because each one puts the player on the defensive at some point, and I love being the centre of attention in a multiplayer game and facing overwhelming odds. Yeah, I'm a masochist, sue me.

    Definitely not for the casual gamer or anyone into pretty graphics, Sid Meier’s Antietam! is great game nonetheless, providing an accurate and historic simulation of one of the bloodiest (i.e. casualty-filled) single days in American history.

    What a classy, clever package. Without a doubt, Extreme-G has the coolest futuristic atmosphere I've seen on the Nintendo 64. Probe may have lifted design ideas for its game but they obviously took the time to borrow from the best. Extreme-G is simply magnificent to watch.

    One of the best comic games to come along in years … and it's certainly the best X-Men game I've ever played.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Though it would seem like a completely different experience, StarFox Adventures is a little like "Eternal Darkness"--a beautiful, well put together action and adventure game with so much to do and see.

    It might not be the prettiest game, but Warlords: Battlecry proves that good gameplay certainly makes up for blunt edge graphics.

    A lot more difficult to learn and to play than it ought to be... [but] a great game.

    The single player is fun, but the real lasting value can be found online.

    Not only does it add to the original product, but it seems to morph it into something slightly different and new, something definitely a bit more comedic and a bit larger than life.

    Whether you're looking at the graphics, the gameplay, the server response, the community activity, this is one staggeringly good game.

    On both the Xbox and PlayStation 2, EA Sports has brought the Thunder with authority as far as this race fan is concerned. I've played both versions and the Xbox version is the better of the two.

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

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

    The shortness of the game is partially forgiven by the richness of its production.

    Technological inferiority aside, Suikoden II has the best game system of any current PSX RPG and is a must for every RPG gamer's library.

    The game really has the Trek flavour pegged...Bridge Commander's sore spot is that mission structure is not nearly as open-ended as it could be.

    Is it a fresh and unusual take on shooters, on horror survival, or both? Ah, let's just say it's fresh and unusual and leave it at that.
