The most beautiful MMORPG currently available. Its environments are second to none, and the character models are elegant and, frankly, a pleasure to behold. The world also feels more alive than any other.

It's an interactive nightmare, complete with off-kilter logic and unnerving imagery, both of which are bound to stay with you for weeks. [Sept 2003, p.52]

What sets this game apart from every other is the obscene amount of tweakage you can do to your character. [Dec 2003, p.70]

While Disgaea sure isn't as elegant and polished a game as "FFTA," it's definitely fun. [Oct 2003, p.58]

Other than the lackluster practice mode, everything in FIFA 2004 is spot-on.

In general, Generals is "Command & Conquer," just a lot more of it. [Apr 2003, p.45]

It's nice to see an enhanced port that exceeds the original PC game in every way... A "Halo" beater? Definitely close - and definitely worth picking up. [July 2003, p.60]

The Skies experience is bright, poppy, and exciting. [Feb 2003, p.50]

Intense. [Dec 2002, p.63]

Great sequel for the one and only city sim game out there. [A+; Apr 2003, p.45]

A brilliantly executed first-person adventure. [Oct 2003, p.64]

A fantastic party game. [June 2002, p.66]

More of what made the original great, while adding welcome new touches. [May 2003, p.43]

Easily the best college hoops game around. [Feb 2003, p.47]

Sure, you won't be spending "Final Fantasy X"-calibur time with it, but it's a good way to kill a dozen or so hours. [Sept 2002, p.30]

Far and away the best sports title to hit the GBA. [Nov 2002, p.68]

Creepier than any of the earlier games, and as an exercise in horror, it's terrific. Just get ready for a high frustration factor. [Jan 2003, p.60]

Co-op mode didn't make the cut. This was one feature that kept the repetitive level design from showing its ugly face - between those great, open terrain stages are lots of boring back-and-forth mazes.

Easily the coolest "Diablo"-style RPG available on any console, and the fact that it looks almost hotter than it plays is icing on the cake. [Jan 2003, p.58]

You're really going to have to learn which units to use, when to use them, and how to use them effectively. [Nov 2003, p.64]

Bottom line: if you like to have fun, play Rygar. [Jan 2003, p.54]

Voice chat makes this the best version of PSO by far. [July 2003, p.61]

Other than the lackluster practice mode, everything in FIFA 2004 is spot-on.

Everything a good sports title should be. We'd love to see online play in 2005, but this is a true diamond. [May 2003, p.51]

It's so well put together, too, that despite the immense speed, you're able to control the cars unbelievably well. [Jan 2004, p.61]

Imagine that Rainbow Six is "Splinter Cell" injected full of steroids...you get the same stealthy action, but it's pumped up on reality. [June 2003, p.57]

If you're into epic insanity, giant robots, and turn-based combat, you'll love it. [Mar 2003, p.48]
