SCII is a rare thing. It has expertly designed fighting mechanics, a gorgeous graphical presentation, and a magnitude of features and play modes... The fighting still feels perfect. [Grade = A+ ; Sept 2003, p.48]- GameNow

Like "Wario Ware," this is a perfect handheld game. Instantly playable. [Nov 2003, p.72]- GameNow

I couldn't stop playing F-Zero GX. It's refreshing to see a racing game ditching the sim elements that seem to be a prerequisite nowadays in favor of more arcadey gameplay. [Oct 2003, p.46]- GameNow

The puzzles are more interesting, the learning curve isn't as steep, and the opportunity to take control of all of Buffy's pals mixes up gameplay nicely. [Oct 2003, p.50]- GameNow

Aside from its lousy story, poorly designed levels, and uninspired character design, Alter Echo does have some good points - tight control, pretty visuals, decent cameras, and smart A.I. [Nov 2003, p.58]- GameNow

The longer you play, the worse this RPG gets... After a few hours, the hate sets in. [Nov 2003, p.64]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
A brilliant fighting game, perhaps second only to "Soul Calibur II." [Sept 2003, p.53]- GameNow

- Critic Score
Without question, the year's best football game...again. [Oct 2003, p.61]- GameNow

Apart from the minute-to-minute madness, Chaos Legion rocks a pretty cool amount of depth. [July 2003, p.56]- GameNow

- Critic Score
Newbies may be shocked at the strategy and planning this game requires, but they'll most likely enjoy the quick learning curve, thanks to Ghost's user-friendly interface. [Sept 2003, p.60]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
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]- GameNow

If only Ride Gone Wild was online this year, I'd be even more impressed. [Oct 2003, p.60]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
Cheap play mechanics and absurd difficulty level totally sink the experience. [Sept 2003, p.58]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
A console-friendly RTS that delivers lots of tactical action without the headaches of ports like "Commandos 2." [Sept 2003, p.59]- GameNow
-

License aside, this is the best golf title I've ever played. If you dig the sport and don't have a GameCube, it's time to buy one. [Oct 2003, p.48]- GameNow

- Critic Score
There's almost no sense of strategy once you learn that bum-rushing the opposition is the best (and sometimes only) course of action. [July 2003, p.62]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
The technical courses can get devilishly demanding. [Sept 2003, p.53]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
Not that the missions in this game aren't good - they're just hampered by a control scheme that needs to be more intuitive. [Aug 2003, p.36]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
The delicate balance of combat and exploration is done to perfection. [Sept 2003, p.61]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
One of the great things about this MMORPG is that it's just <I>massive</I>. [Grade = A+]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
This game may be deep and technical, but playing it is almost as fun as getting beat up. [Aug 2003, p.34]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
It feels like a new game, so you'd better start rethinking your strategies, 'cause the old ones ain't gonna work anymore... A must for fans of "Warcraft III." [Sept 2003, p.62]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
What it lacks in curves and naughty bump-mapping, it makes up for in sheer gameplay. [Sept 2003, p.54]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
Naval battles are where Pirates shines. The game's ocean settings look spectacular, with some of the most gorgeous graphics on Xbox. [Sept 2003, p.56]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
The PC version has better visuals, more comfortable control, and fewer bugs. And online patches might stamp out the bugs that do exist. [Sept 2003, p.51]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
No, it's not revolutionary, but there's enough variety that it never feels monotonous or repetitive. [July 2003, p.54]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
FMX is crippled by a trick-modifier system that makes big combos too irritating to complete. [Aug 2003, p.34]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
The drawing system is brilliant - simple sketches transform with ease into wonderfully animated creatures. [June 2003, p.50]- GameNow
-
- Critic Score
Since it uses the same engine as the GBA "Tony Hawk" games, the skaing and grinding action works very well. [July 2003, p.52]- GameNow
