    If multiplayer had been added to this game, I could like it a lot more.

    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.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    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.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Almost identical to the Dreamcast version. Like a 98% clone identical.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a fun game. The more people you get gathered around the PlayStation (up to eight) to play, the more fun it is.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    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.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    So essentially, the graphics, the sound, the story and the puzzles are marvellous. They all add up to one fantastic adventure game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore

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

    • 80 Critic Score
    [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.
    • 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.
