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]

You’ll be hard pressed to find another game that even comes close to matching the quality found in Kingdom Hearts. Games just don’t come as beautiful and well thought out as this, it’s a virtual masterpiece that excels in every way possible.

Everything in the game just reeks of shine and polish and though it's flawed in some areas, it's still one of the best games to come down the line this year.

This is one of the poorest expansion packs for any game in recent memory. It’s so bad, in fact, that I want my money back.

This game isn’t perfect, however, I found that the running game was a little too stingy for my tastes. I had a hard time breaking a run for more than 10 yards and more often than not, the gaps in the defense would close far too fast.

I’ve had a lot of fun with Beach Spikers and if you have 3 friends, you can really have a blast with hot 2-on-2 action, if you know what I mean.

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.

It has some great fighting elements as well as some of the elements from the Thief series and finally some adventure elements. Add that to a pretty good graphics engine and sound, and you have yourself a darn good game.

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.

Although there are still more titles to be released, I’m not quite sure that any of them will be able to compete with the high standard that EA has set with their latest offering, the bar has been raised.

Even with the XBOX being the most powerful console, frame rate problems still plague the game...Still fun to play even with the AI problems and control scheme on the XBOX.

I can personally verify that multiplayer is much much smoother than before – not that it was awful before, but I haven’t been getting as many disconnects as I did before.

An enjoyable game, to be sure, but it could have been so much more.

And as if uninspired gameplay wasn’t enough, the game is chock full of the dandiest bugs this side of my bathtub. Let’s see - where to begin. Clipping, bad frame rates, stuck fighters, horrid camera movement, moves that just don’t work and sluggish controls.

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.

A great shooter, the best that has come my way in over a year.

You wouldn’t think stats would be such a big deal in an arcade over the top game, but they’re here – by player and by team. Pretty impressive – I wasn’t expecting that at all.

From cover to cover this game was full of originality.

So, we have annoying sound, minimalist save features, poor dialogue and voice acting, clumsy controls, and frustrating gameplay. Not exactly a recipe for success.

You’ll be given the pleasure of tricking and tearing your way through some of the most crazy and freakish settings that the sick minds at EA Sports BIG could conjure up in their conspicuously concealed laboratories.

This is without a doubt the single best looking and playing hovercraft racing game on any next generation platform.

Combine excellent gameplay and some of the most in-depth gaming modes with the vocal talents of the legendary Vin Scully and what do you get? You get one hell of a baseball title.

This is the Next Big Thing that roleplaying fans have been waiting for.

There are just so many features and things to unlock, you'll be playing this one for a long long time – it's almost too difficult.

Tecmo may not be offering the most beautiful or technically advanced soccer game on the market but whatever it is, it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

AoW2 has the “just one more turn” quality common to many great turn-based games like "Civilization" and "Master of Orion."

The best F1 sim to date. Featuring true to life physics and tight gripping gameplay, it’s only weakness lies in the insanely astronomical system requirements.

Not only is it very realistic in it’s approach to the game, it is, hands down, the most fun and funniest golf game I have played.

The gameplay is just devoid of fun.

This ain't no Final Fantasy where you are told who to be and where to go, this is real role playing.

If you’re looking for a single-player experience that rivals most of today’s other RTS games… look elsewhere.

Not only a horrible example of game making, but terribly insulting to just about anybody who’s even familiar with the original versions on the 16 bit systems.

What makes this game look and feel so different from the competition is its amazing ability to render realistic looking environments.

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

What’s great about this game is that it includes vehicles to suit the tastes of every type of motorhead out there.

Z-Axis and Acclaim have done something really special here in that they’ve turned an absolutely mundane sport, like rollerblading, and turned it into an exciting and exhilarating experience that you won’t soon want to put down.

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.

What differentiates Hunter from the other titles is the creativity in the weapons and monsters and something I like to call the 'oh (expletive)' factor. The 'oh (expletive)' factor is that 'oh my god' feeling when you see the amazing monsters scare the crap out of you in the game--and believe me they will.

What started out as a 10-minute compatibility check turned into an all-night rampage, after I got past all the bugs that is.

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.

Excellent level and mission variety leads to an experience that ranks among the best seen this year.

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.

Highly addictive.

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.

This is a great game just as long as you keep it away from your PC. It is only until it comes in contact with a PC-Cdrom drive that it is able to spread it’s evils across your office or living room...Horrible in every single meaning of the word.

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!

To put it simply, Morrowind is truly a game of epic proportions and will most likely only be finished by the most hardcore of gamers.

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?

An arcade racer with tight controls and graphics, plays great and a blast to watch.

While it's certainly pretty, its basic strengths and weaknesses still come through, just like other surgical enhancements in southern California.

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.

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.

Really good...The game-play is where Spiderman really shines.

The gameplay is strong, and entertaining.

The Diablo games don't have the weird imbalances and ambiguities Dungeon Siege does, where you're stuck trying to figure out if you want to keep an item or not. In Diablo, it was always easy to tell which items were the best and its class system, if more restrictive, is also more focused.

If you liked the first three games in the series, you’re going to love Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

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

This is also a rare case where a console-to-PC port actually turned out for the better.

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.

For the first time in a video game, I actually felt that I could relate to the character. I didn’t feel like I was controlling some generic on-screen persona, I felt that I was James Bond.

The single player campaign alone makes it worth buying, and the powerful fanbase that already existed before the game was even released is a definite plus.

It's got great track variety, quality graphics, and a bevy of options.

That is the real problem with Dark Planet, it doesn’t do anything that might keep me interested in playing it (and with over 40 missions it should be trying to).

Very enjoyable but short on depth.

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.

At all costs, do not expose yourself to the undying horror known as Triple Play 2002.

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.

Even though the game isn’t much of a challenge for me, I still find it incredibly addictive and fun.

Solid fighting gameplay coupled with some very good graphics.

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.

Usually a person will hate a game when they lose at it on a consistent basis, the case is completely different here. This is just a testament of how fun and gripping this game is to play.

Excellent game balance.

To not feature a four player option feels almost archaic in this era of gaming.

An incredibly linear story, limited save points, and slightly behind-the-curve graphics move Grandia 2 as a PC RPG to the category of merely "pretty good."

If you're looking for a no-frills, number-crunching, "old school" 4X strategy game, pull up a chair and relax. You're gonna be here for a while.

Saying that Knockout Kings requires extreme wit is almost as heinous as claiming that George W. Bush is the most intelligent man on the planet, it just ain't gonna happen.

Even though the game is more than three months old it still manages to retain a special part on my shelf, the part that never gathers dust. As it stands right now, we have an early contender for my vote of Game of the Year.

"NASCAR Heat" and "Project Gotham Racing" had their graphical moments, but they can't hold a candle to RalliSport Challenge. This game is incredible in how gorgeous it is.

If they wanted to make a realistic and fun boxer then they’ve fallen short. I’m not sure which they were shooting for. And that’s the problem.

Improves on the original. Unfortunately, that means the game is now merely a competent production, as opposed to anything really attention getting.

The email system is the new way that an owner is given important breaking information, trade requests. The system is absolutely dynamite...The premiere text baseball sim on the market. Check it out.

It may not be the best Trek game out there, but it really manages to capture the feel of commanding one of the most powerful vessels in the Federation, and it’s a blast to boot.

The epitomy of a game whose long development period has caused it to be already dated on release. It's at once very new <I>and</I> very old.

The gameplay bugs are so bad at times it almost makes up for all the great things about the game.

I personally believe all of these problems stem from the fact that there is no "save anywhere", because the single player campaign is more or less easy.

One of those games which can drive a gamer nuts. It tantalizes with a couple of neat ideas, but botches every else so completely it makes the player say, "Arrrrgh."

With Real Pool 2&#146;s timed shots, choppy graphics, obtuse camera control and bland technology upgrades the game feels like Kinda Real But Not Really Pool.

Simply put, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 does so many things right that it&#146;s hard to imagine any golf game that existed before it, "Links" included.
