    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.

    As fun as the game is, it is devilishly hard.

    Not only does AvP2 send chills down the spine, it also fuels the adrenaline with hyperkinetic action.

    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.

    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.

    It really does not matter what difficult level you are playing on, because regardless you will find that you throw far too many interceptions and intercept too many yourself. I played several games where the total number of interceptions in the game was 10!

    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.

    Slowdowns and lack of a franchise mode really makes this a try before you buy game even for hockey fans.

    This game kicks ass, some SERIOUS ASS!!...A perfect game for the gamer who really don’t care too much about solving a bunch of puzzles and would rather mow down literally hundreds of enemies per level.

    This game is so simple and easy to play that you’ll have a great golf course up and running in no time. In fact, crafting holes is the easy part; making them challenging and entertaining is where the difficulty arises.

    With stunning graphics and superb gameplay, Starfighter succeeds in rescuing the franchise from movie license purgatory.

    Believe me, if you play baseball or enjoy watching it, you’ll love this game—it has that certain something that makes you play ‘just one more’ time and time again.

    I really don’t think I’ve been this disappointed with a game since the day I first laid eyes on "Black and White." I’ve been looking forward to this one for a very long time and I feel it in my heart that it should have been so much more.

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

    You won't hear complaints about the graphics, which are absolutely gorgeous. For one, there is a certain style to the artwork; it's not quite anime, but it does have a hint of it.

    The gameplay, however – solve logic puzzles and shoot/swing/stomp away, is pretty average.

    It's difficult to remember which tricks you’ve performed in a race, and which ones have yet to be done... It would have been nice to have stunts “reset” after a while.

    If you think back to the days when you plunked quarter after quarter into the SM series of games (or played them on the NES) with fondness, you'll have a ball reliving it with a fresh coat of paint.

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

    Escape from Monkey Island is a wonderful romp filled with memorable characters, excellent voice acting, and clever puzzles.

    When I do click play, I find it very hard to stop.

    Driving the Interceptor is really easy so even those who aren’t into driving games can pick this up easily. The graphics are nicely done and it runs pretty smoothly.

    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.

    Stupid, brainless fun for the frag-inclined masses, but--no--it's not "Halo Live."

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

    In terms of how it compares to other music games I play, Frequency is a nice little title that some people will find quite addicting. Like most music games, though, gameplay can be quite tedious.

    From the graphics to the sound to the razor sharp control and even the international broadcast standards, this game has it all.

    Perhaps most impressive are the stellar animations. I don’t want to exaggerate, but the animation is perhaps the best of any sports game currently on the PS2.

    By far, it is the best racing game I've seen on the PlayStation 2.
