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."- GamePen

If you want beautifully rendered mountains and an awesome soundtrack, get Amped; if you want to actually have fun, get "SSX Tricky."- GamePen

No matter how you stack it, Kinetica plays like "F-Zero" and "SSX"’s evil offspring. Taking the best of both games, Sony has made a great genre slightly better.- GamePen

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.- GamePen

Where the Clone Campaigns really excels is in multiplayer mode.- GamePen

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.- GamePen

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]- GamePen

Maybe it’s because I’m such a big fan of the series but I absolutely love this game.- GamePen

While there are plenty of game modes, the brain dead AI and the lack of an auto save, especially in King of The Ring, really bring this game down.- GamePen

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

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.- GamePen

Grating commentary by announcers Michael Cole and Tazz will have you scouring to find the mute button on your remote.- GamePen

The way NBA Live uses the controller is as maddening as watching Derrick Coleman squander enough gifts for two hall of famers.- GamePen

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

It's more a rehash of "Fighting Force 2" than anything else, only with a half-cyborg chick at the helm instead of the typical Rambo/Duke Nukem character.- GamePen

A good looking Western that has half a brain, takes most of your brains to figure out, and makes you want to scream, "Give me a real Western! Give me a damn Western RPG, for the Duke’s sake!"- GamePen

No worse than the original, in some ways it’s even better than. But where "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" or "Metal Gear Solid 2" improved the engine, graphics, feel, and design, Sony seems content in only making PaRappa 2 look better.- GamePen

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.- GamePen

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

Crappy character interaction, bland level design and sour eye candy clashes hard with an elegant combat system.- GamePen

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

The computer AI is the game's weakest point. Although the offensive play calling is pretty good and kept me on my toes defensively, the AI seems to have a tough time on the defensive side of the ball.- GamePen

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.- GamePen

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.- GamePen

The graphics and sound are incredible, and it's obvious that this game has a lot of potential, if only the developers would utilize that potential.- GamePen

The problem with the game, aside from the derivative gameplay, is that the computer is way too competent, and can build faster.- GamePen

This is one of those games that perhaps should have stayed on the Dreamcast. The main problem is that the game wasn’t all that fun to begin with.- GamePen
