    Ikaruga
    The game has 5 fast skull breaking levels which may look like it's not much, but it takes a while to get through them all, because it is unbelievably hard.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Freedom Fighters
    The story may be weak and the opposition dumb; the lack of depth doesn’t have to stop you from having a great time blasting some Soviets in this otherwise decent game.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Star Fox Adventures
    Not enough was spent to really think about the story or the gameplay in my opinion as should have been.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    Credible, honest stealth; but imperfect, limited stealth too. The Xbox version is, again, vastly superior, but the GC game's Co-op still throws up a memorable experience.
    • 77 Metascore

    I-Ninja
    This game has a huge lifespan, as I eventually found it such a pain to play I couldn’t play for more than 15 minutes max a day.

    Polarium
    It is very addictive and a lot of fun. But the puzzle mode has a replay factor of absolute zero. Anyone who would go back to it for fun would be a mad man.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Nanostray
    Truthfully, it isn’t a bad game, but its appeal only reachs a small niche.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    NBA Courtside 2002
    The lack of options is a real bummer, as there isn’t much that will keep you entertained, other than the impressively large NBA season mode.

    Mario Party 6
    If you have 4 players then you would struggle to find a more entertaining game, but with fewer players it's just slow and pointless.

    Vexx
    So enjoy this game for what it is, a fun jumping game that can keep you amused for several hours if your willing to spend time trying to collect all the bonuses and complete the mini-games that Acclaim has arranged for you.

    RedCard 20-03
    All credit to Midway for trying their luck with the football market, but they should have left things up to the big boys; ‘FIFA’, ‘ISS’ and ‘PES’.

    Hulk
    While I'd usually applaud this type of game design this one is simply too repetitive to truly recommend.

    Trace Memory
    If only Another Code was double its length... It’s enjoyable and unputdownable until finish.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Batman: Vengeance
    Batman has never looked so good and for once the developers have taken as much care with the gameplay and story as they have with the overall presentation.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
    What hurts the game though is the fact that it's so short, with little replay value and most players are likely to complete the whole thing in two or three sittings.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2
    Thanks to a poorly constructed objective and progression system in the career mode, many players will find themselves giving up too soon.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    ATV Quad Power Racing 2
    The first play through is genuinely enjoyable and the two-player option just about as good as it gets. Given the number of bikes on the track it's a shame that a four-player option wasn't included.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Shark Tale
    Unless you have an unhealthy obsession with the film, or are young don’t bother. But if those two descriptions match you, it will bring you hours of happiness.

    Crazy Taxi
    Good for quick laugh, but that's about it. No multiplayer, and limited gameplay means there's not much life in this game.

    Serious Sam: Next Encounter
    If you can look beyond the dated graphics, the basic gameplay model and of course if shooters are your thing, then you are in for quite some fun, and that’s what it is all about really.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights
    The camera becomes very annoying and only leads to build up frustration at times. The story takes time to get going which I find is the main cause of the boredom.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
    A nice game, but it doesn't offer enough to be anywhere near special. The AI is not above average and the lack of online modes hurts the longevity.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Medal of Honor: Rising Sun
    Rising Sun has some great parts like the train level, but also some frustrating moments. Trying to aim properly while the framerate is unsteady and the only guns at your disposal are machine guns with terrible recoil is the most important cause of these.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
    Although it has more than its fair share of good points, Need for Speed 2 should have been so much more and you can't help but come back to that annoying frame rate.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
    The lack of depth doesn’t ruin the game, but only younger sports lovers and dedicated Harry Potter fans will appreciate this.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO
    Overall the Streetfighter games have always been annoyingly hard, and in times where gameplay is focused on a merely mainstream type of gamers, this game probably suits the need for those hardcore arcade action lovers.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Star Fox: Assault
    It's lazy, it's textbook and less than half of it is worth playing.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    It’s a pleasant experience, though. Not as good as Zelda, but the Harry Potter-sauce surely lifts it above average.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    ZooCube
    The actual gameplay lends itself far more to a handheld format and for that reason alone, if you actually own a Gameboy Advance, you're probably better going for that version.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    R: Racing Evolution
    An entertaining racing game, but also has quite some faults, most notably overtaking and handling. If you think you can live with the shortcomings mentioned above, and are eagerly awaiting something like GT for your purple box, this is what comes closest.
