    Virtua Tennis
    No matter how much you tweak it, no matter how realistic you make it, tennis eventually boils down to a game of "Pong."
    • 75 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    X-Men: Mutant Academy
    In the end, this is about as standard as fighting games come, though the strong graphics and smooth framerate keep it a step ahead of total mediocrity.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Soulbringer
    It's got decent graphics, lots of depth, a cool combat system and it's really long.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Warlords Battlecry
    The frustrating linearity, at times crappy AI and dated graphics keep it from snatching a place in history as a markedly innovative title.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dark Reign 2
    Fans of 3D strategy could do much worse.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Rally Challenge 2000
    The hobo outside could do a better job than whomever they picked to do the voice acting.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!
    Little kids might be willing to look past the unoriginality and outdated gameplay.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Icewind Dale
    It doesn't try to do anything new or revolutionary, and as a result, is remarkably fun and easy to play.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Marvel vs. Capcom 2
    Perhaps the crowning achievement of "Marvel vs. Capcom 2"'s is the game's ability to get around the Dreamcast controller's lack of six buttons.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Diablo II
    There's a feeling that sinks in after awhile that "Diablo" was more direct, more enveloping, more focused than Diablo 2.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Deus Ex
    It is, as a game, everything you could ask for... and it's absolutely a blast to play.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Street Fighter III: Double Impact
    The game feels like a return to what made "Street Fighter 2" such a blast back in the day.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Shogun: Total War
    And what I really appreciate is having everything spoken to me in Japanese. It does wonders for authenticity.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The Legend of Dragoon
    Despite the hype, Legend of Dragoon is a soulless creature, a subpar game held aloft by deceptive marketing. Don't trust it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
    When it works, it sucks you right in, and when it doesn't you just end up slogging through, expecting the good stuff around the next corner.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Ground Control
    From its amazing level of detail to its fantastic game engine, this is one that fans of strategy should not miss.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Perfect Dark
    So there's no doubt in anyone's mind... there is not now, nor will there ever be a nude code for Joanna Dark. Go get a girlfriend!
    • 92 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Vagrant Story
    After all, it's still just the gunblade attack wearing a new dress. But what a pretty dress it is - curvy customizations, tight chain attacks, and sparkly exploration. Despite its somewhat limited action elements, VS presents a unique RPG with terrific storytelling.

    Army Men: World War
    We're not laughing with you, guys, we're laughing at you.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    StarLancer
    It's a near-perfect traditional space combat game. I'm one of the most discriminating space combat fans out there, and StarLancer was just a joy to review.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Allegiance
    More than anything, it's just very cool to play a part in a massive, real time strategy epic in which everything, save for the miners and constructors, is piloted by real people.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Thief II: The Metal Age
    Older graphics aside, Thief 2 is a great game. Though I'm sure some sociology professor might decry the glorification of breaking into people's houses and stealing their stuff, there's no denying that it's a lot of fun.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
    A forgettable racer with all the depth of a shallow puddle, better suited for a rental than a purchase. It's more a footnote to the Need for Speed series than a chapter in itself.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The Sims
    This is one of the most original and innovative games we've seen in ages.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Zombie Revenge
    I wish Sega had taken more time with "Zombie Revenge;" removed the loading times, made some graphical improvements, hired actual voice actors, and added another mission or two.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Parasite Eve II
    More work should have been put into the plot and storytelling of the game.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Gran Turismo 2
    The enormous number of tracks and cars on top of the realistic Gran Turismo gameplay gives this game some of the best replay value there is.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Planescape: Torment
    The most amazing part is the environmental audio. The intermittent background music is great and the background noise is fantastic.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Unreal Tournament (1999)
    Not really a revolutionary game, but it is almost perfect at what it does. This is the definitive straight multi-player first person shooter. It is an amazing game that never fails to impress or entertain.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Donkey Kong 64
    The real problem is that right to the end, it's just more of the same. There isn't the sharp contrast that DKCountry brought to the SNES as most hoped and expected. While no major ground is broken from Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong is still all there as a 3D platform game.
