    The loading times will put you to sleep. The difficulty doesn’t even seem to change when you increase the settings. The gameplay becomes too repetitive and has little to no variety.

    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.

    If you're a fan of Resident Evil then playing this game will be like a dream for you. This is how Capcom must have wanted to do it the first time but couldn't due to limiting technology of the time they got the idea. I guess you could say RE came before it's time…kind of like Leonardo de Vinci making plans for a helicopter.

    2002 FWC suffers from a lack of teams, little weather and time of day conditions and the frustrating inability to change the stadium and match duration while setting up a game, this has to be done in the options.

    It's good but lacks having any special feel. It's got all the ingredience of a fighter that we have all grown towards and learnt to love.

    I can't really say more than 'YOU NEED THIS TITLE' for no other reason than to prove how games should be done.

    Yeah, the game is really long, but is there any variety or challenge? Not really. And, if you're not sick of playing by the end of just a couple of these annoyingly long levels, I admire your patience.

    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.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    While not as bad as the majority of critics are reporting it's certainly not worthy of a full price title.

    If you've already purchased "Crazy Taxi" then there's little here to tempt you into buying what is essentially the same product unless, of course, you're a huge Simpsons fan.

    Orchestra-style music and finely tuned sound effects liven up the battlefield quite dramatically and are executed extremely well; I just simply love the music for the Pokemon Stadium stage.

    • 92 Critic Score
    Its length is a slightly worrying factor but it’s not that bad, after all its quality not quantity and this game is quality in leaps and bounds.

    Lifespan is the main issue here, as everything else is in place. It took me a week to finish Race and Showoff mode with one character. There is loads left, though, so the potential for a long lasting game is there, it just really depends on whether or not you want to go through it all again and again.

    This is a hard game, and it will take you a lot of time to complete if you hope to collect all the gold medals in the game and find all the tech upgrades.

    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Good for quick laugh, but that's about it. No multiplayer, and limited gameplay means there's not much life in this game.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It’s a great laugh in 4-player and the 1-player Championship mode is well tough to beat.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The graphics are top-notch, the sound is catchy and simply lovable, the controls are delightful and the gameplay is original and just so much fun. But the whole thing is dragged down by the frighteningly short game time.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An incredibly fast paced sports game with the intention of causing as many broken bones as possible. A great laugh on your own but with 2-3 friends it becomes an absolute hoot!
    • 61 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    This game took me less than two hours, as a pose to "Resident Evil’s" 18 hours, first time round.
