    Though the game is still technically and visually sound, the control is just so horrid that it’ll make you wonder why this project was even green-lighted. [Import]

    I have yet to understand what the big deal about delivering packages is.

    While it's probably true that 99% of PS2 owners have never played "Tennis 2K2" for the Dreamcast, Sega should still have given them something more than an almost direct port.

    So, when you have great graphics, decent audio, okay gameplay but a horrible 3rd person control scheme with jump on right thumbstick and a horrible camera system what do you get? You get an average game that never fully delivers.

    Consider this version a mildly tweaked Crazy Taxi with a new city.

    I’m not kidding, nearly every facet of this game screams ‘PSONE!’, had Reflections not decided to include the excellent DVD add-ons, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one appear on the little gray box.

    Think of The Sum of All Fears as the horribly ill-conceived marriage of "Rainbow Six" and your basic arcade first person shooter.

    Playing this game really reminds me of what it feels like to be on the Autobahn. You’re cruising along at a comfy 120mph, everything is going great and you’re taking in sun and then all of a sudden, some a-hole cuts you off and you crash head on into a brick wall...the gameplay is just absolutely horrendous.

    If you’re looking for an adventure game with familiar characters, some pretty funny jokes, and a laugh track, well, there’s just no where else to turn.

    Although it features perhaps the most impressive visuals to appear in a baseball game to date, there are too many flaws in the infrastructure that prevent it from reaching the upper echelons of baseball gaming.

    It’s a simple game, with simple controls that give a simple pleasure.

    Where the Clone Campaigns really excels is in multiplayer mode.

    It should have stuck to its roots a bit more.

    Feels stale in this day and age. It does have a different feel, and holds up compared to a few of the platformers I’ve seen on the system, so I do recommend it.

    With a combination of good characters, good graphics, good sound and good levels I think it’s safe to say that this is a good game.

    The only real goal in the game is to unlock multimedia extras. Very little Britney! I want to play with Britney more!

    How fondly do you look back on the “Golden” age of gaming? Do you look back on it at all? Do you even know what I’m referring to when I say “Golden” age?

    While many of the same elements that made "Counter-Strike" successful are duplicated, it’s the ones that deviate from the norm that really hurt this package.
    • 54 Metascore

    Perhaps the only redeeming quality of the game is the always entertaining Die Hard movie license, other than that you have a run of the mill shooter.

    I give mad props to the guys at EA Sports for creating a game that so accurately captures the atmosphere of the World Cup, the only problem is, that’s all they’ve done.

    Spiderman is meant to be a console game. It works on the PC, but would just feel better on a console system. I also encountered a few bugs and an occasional crash on the PC.

    Given that you can walk on walls, swing rapidly in different directions, and crawl through tight spaces, programming a good camera system can be quite difficult. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work well indoors.

    A fun game that’s worth getting for the kids in the house. I would’ve liked to see some multiplayer options thrown in.

    The gameplay is strong, and entertaining.

    It was worth every penny I paid for it, though it took me a while to realize how good the game really was.

    It pains me to give Jedi Knight II such a low rating but I don’t think I’ve ever been this bored with a game in my entire life.

    The most baffling part of the game's design [is] the horribly inept control scheme. Instead of fully taking advantage of the Xbox controller's functions, everything is crammed and clumped together.

    The whole ‘look’ of the game is superb, from the metal clanking of the menus to the fireworks and confetti that erupt when you score, everything is crisp and vibrant.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Don’t get me wrong, some of the levels had a lot of exciting, action packed moments, but it would have done MUCH better as an action/adventure game than as a pure racing/shooting one.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    To not feature a four player option feels almost archaic in this era of gaming.
