    PaRappa the Rapper 2
    What began as a simple tale of a dog and the flower he loves has become a farcical, overblown imitation of a cheesy action movie with little challenge or replay value. As unfortunate as it is for gamers to be let down so early in the new year, it must be said that PaRappa 2 is the first disappointment of 2002.

    Tennis Masters Series 2003
    True followers of the ATP will love the in-depth simulation of the pro tennis world, and any gamer who appreciates a well-designed, good-looking sports title will not be disappointed, either.

    Worms Forts: Under Siege
    Crippled by a lack of online play and a horrible camera system. Yet despite the problems, the core game is so good that it's still worth playing, as long as you have human opponents to compete against.

    Haunting Ground
    It may not be a revolutionary new type of horror or even the beginning of a great new series, but for what it is Haunting Ground is generally worth trying.

    CivCity: Rome
    Civ City: Rome doesn’t do much to meaningfully innovate, but it does successfully take the more important design elements of past games and incorporates them into a challenging, great looking, and great playing package.

    Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
    Overall Kane & Lynch is an interesting -- if overly violent -- take on the “buddy” game. The tag-team setup adds something to what would already be a solid action game and makes it that much better.

    Dynasty Warriors Next
    Poor touch controls and a lack of dedicated online multiplayer drag down an otherwise serviceable portable Dynasty Warriors game. Fans of the series will find things to like in Next, but the offering is mediocre at best.
    • 67 Metascore

    Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Protoman
    Even though fans of the series will have seen most of this before, Battle Network 5 is a very strong game in a technical sense.

    Legaia 2: Duel Saga
    The game is so cookie-cutter and average that it becomes an empty vessel.

    Top Spin
    Why the presentation is so flat is a mystery worthy of Veronica Mars, since there are only two athletes on-screen at once (four during doubles matches).

    Tycoon City: New York
    It’s just not a terribly compelling game in any way.

    Resident Evil 6
    Worst of all, it's difficult in a way that feels like the game is cheating you through broken mechanics somehow, and that isn't fun for anyone.

    The Simpsons Road Rage
    While it may sound fun, the play control and physics in the game are rather loose, resulting in unresponsive vehicle controls and collision detection that has you occasionally hitting objects you aren't even touching as you drive.

    Mega Man X: Command Mission
    It's a capably constructed RPG, to be sure, but it's hard to explicitly recommend Mega Man X: Command Mission to anyone who isn't already a fan of Mega Man or RPGs. If you're a little bit of both, chances are you'll dig it immensely.

    Extermination
    Survival horror veterans will be drawn to Extermination right up to the very end, but casual gamers might find this title hard to swallow because of its inconsistent presentation, low replay value and mediocre story.

    Lupin the 3rd: Treasure of the Sorcerer King
    Gamers who aren't familiar with the show won't find much to like here, but fans will appreciate the chance to control and interact with the characters they know and love.

    Full Auto 2: Battlelines
    Cars skid for no reason. Frames slow down just as the action heats up. Full Auto 2: Battlelines spins its wheels keeping the same controls and not improving the over all experience.

    Blood Will Tell
    A cut above your average jilted-samurai-seeks-revenge-against-the-demonic-hordes-who-wronged-him game.

    Disney's Meet the Robinsons
    Disney’s Meet the Robinsons, with its solid look and feel, succeeds in being lot better than 95% of the film-based games you’re liable to play. However, it still doesn’t stand up to the better action/platformers out there, primarily due to objectives and levels that too often drag on to tedium.

    Cooking Mama
    It's like one of those pricey meals that foodies order at swank restaurants. Three bites and the plate is clean. It's a good thing that Cooking Mama has an early bird special price tag, because right about now we're ready for the desert menu.

    Dark Summit
    Dark Summit is rated H for half-baked...Though pretty, [it] manages to be both repetitive and too short.

    Circus Maximus: Chariot Wars
    The biggest problem is that despite the large number of tracks, the racing starts to feel the same after a while. The races are exercises in cutting off your opponents, grabbing the turbo power-ups at the right time, and learning to take curves properly.

    Freestyle MetalX
    An amazing trick system only bolsters the game's personality. You can literally land three or four maneuvers before touching down, given enough momentum.

    MVP Baseball
    One look at the out-of-date rosters (frozen in time at the original release date) will show you how little attention was paid to the development of this game.

    Midway Arcade Treasures 3
    We can’t stress how much fun we had with Super Off Road. It truly is one of the more timeless arcade racing games.

    Major League Baseball 2K8
    A positive step forward for an already good series.

    Turok
    Unfortunately, what aim-assist there is in Turok is woefully inadequate. Getting the reticule to move that last quarter inch often proved impossible and aggravating.

    Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle
    If you’re into quirky stories, environments worth exploring, memorable characters, and a gameplay experience that doesn’t feel like a jumbled bag of puzzles, this is your game.

    Fisherman's Challenge
    Dull, and not just because of its subject matter or slow pace. Obviously, fishing can only be so exciting, but the repetitive nature of the gameplay, the lack of rewards, and the high frustration level make for a tiresome experience.

    The Urbz: Sims in the City
    A perfect example of what lazy game publishers will urge their developers to crank out in order to make a profit at a system's launch.
