"What in the world was Midway thinking?” That was the exact thought that went through my head as I continually played this travesty of a game.

This game did really well in all areas that a game could do well in. The only thing that kept it from getting it a perfect Seal of Excellence is the fact that there is a frustration involved in the game that will turn many people off to it.

Starts off as a strong racing title, but begins to fall short with an unorthodox campaign system and poor sound track.

While none of these modes excels to a great degree, the sum of the different play modes is quite a lot of fun.

As long as you're patient and can handle the complexity that goes into managing a hotel, you'll do just fine with Hotel Giant.

Even the inclusion of some new game variations (for Tetris anyways) cannot eliminate the feeling of having been here, done that, and seen everything there is to see many times before.

Definitely more fun multiplayer than alone, I'm still not sure how long you'll want to play this one after the novelty wears off.

The smooth mixture of classic baseball gameplay and new-school baseball violence works well, and had the game’s defensive system been better, MLB Slugfest 20-03 would’ve been the perfect arcade baseball game.

Its gameplay is solid while it still holds true to the original Tetris concept and is addictively fun.

If you play through it three times, you get a super ending, which is a nice incentive.

Nothing short of an utter failure. Though Seven Studios did many things right, the horrible gameplay drags the rest of the game down.

While the action levels are exciting, things like the stealth levels, a bad draw-in distance, and ill-placed music detract from the experience.

It is a rare thing indeed when the builders’ tools are as addictive as the game but the AT presents such a slick, clean interface and ease of use that it is hard to stay away from at least trying your hand in a little Module creation.

The graphics are somewhat outdated for being on the PlayStation 2 and unfortunately the gameplay lacks as well.

A phenomenal game.

Lacks any great game modes, the controls are wacky at times, the AI needs some major work and the name just doesn’t fit.

The game has more freedom and options than any game I have played, but this also comes at a cost of containing several minor and some major glitches.

A mindlessly entertaining strategy game...it doesn’t break any new ground, and it becomes somewhat repetitive in a short amount of time.

I did feel that certain tasks took a lot of time and the need to search everything made for some tedious work, but the comedy relief did its job and made up for the shortcomings and created a decent play experience.

Although the game plays similarly to previous Red Storm games, The Sum of All Fears is much easier, and it lacks both preplanning and character advancement elements.

The gameplay is simple but never lacking, keeping me glued to the screen.

One of the most interesting and odd games that I have played in recent years.

Exceptionally bad. The graphics are terrible, the sound is worse, and the gameplay is boring and slow.

Beyond some frustrating gameplay, Night of 100 Frights brings the visuals and sounds of the long running cartoon to life in this title, with a huge map to explore on your way to solving the mystery.

The plot is interesting and well told. The sounds effects and graphics are detailed, realistic, and both beautiful and gory. The enemy AI is outstanding and provides players of all skill levels with a stiff challenge.

An excellent racing game that has plenty of depth and unlockable features.

The final battle isn’t a huge deal, and the ending isn’t spectacular, but it’s one hell of a ride to get there.

The ability to control 250 in an army is almost too many; of course that is what makes it great-the ability to have gigantic battles that truly bring out the galactic conflict that is underway.

With a combination of repetitive tasks, mundane fighting, and the fact that the game only takes five hours to beat, Legacy of Goku is not a game, it is an insult to the fans.

The missions are not terribly hard, but yet it still makes for a fulfilling experience to complete a mission.

Simplistic in concept and design, and tends to feel like a mini-game that was included in a more ambitious product.

While the lack of strategic depth and animal-centric theme might have made this a good candidate for younger gamers, an under-developed audio/visual presentation will probably lose their attention quickly.

An impressive project, and I have an ocean full of respect and admiration for the ambition, energy, and devotion that the developers poured into this game.

Any true baseball fan will be amazed at the amount of information and the good times they'll have playing Baseball Mogul.

The gameplay is not worth spending the dough for unless you have children that are dinosaur fanatics in your household.

The crashes are a great gimmick, but after the first couple of hours the replays become more of a nuisance than a positive effect.

I really don't understand why anyone would want to own this game unless they were a die hard fan of "Die Hard" (sorry).

The end result is mired in too many gameplay inconsistencies for me to give the game my full blessing as a reviewer.

What this boils down to is fun aerial levels being broken up all to often by boring ground levels.

Players who enjoy spending three, four, or more hours on a single game mission will find a lot of enjoyment in Warrior Kings.

The terrible dialogue and silly horror aspects make the game feel much more like a modern ‘B’ horror story than a Hitchcock tale.

RPG fans may scoff at it's hack-n-slash nature, but they are missing out in this case, as Dungeon Siege provides spades of real-time tactical delight.

JO is a fun game with plenty of action and unique areas but I just had a feeling that I had done all this before.

The graphics are very dated, and aside from some of the complications and innovations it has a pretty old school RTS feel.

This feels like a fairly competent, but incomplete game.

It didn’t look good, it didn’t play good, and it didn’t sound good. You’d probably have more fun playing backgammon online with your mother-in-law.

A satisfying single-player campaign along with an incredibly engaging character creation system, however, makes this one a heartily recommended buy.

I enjoyed the playing but thought that it might get very boring to play this game multiple times unless you are the most die hard of baseball simulation fans.

The first thing that drew me into the game was the amazingly beautiful world in which the game takes place.

DP:BfN has numerous elements that make the game cumbersome to play, and drain it of enjoyment.

One of my favorite games of the year. I think once the novelty of the Diggles' antics wears off there is plenty of playtime left.

The game is held back from greatness by a few gameplay issues that sometimes create feelings of repetitiveness (in campaign mode), confusion (losing track of heroes and important characters in battle), and frustration (heroes dying because you cannot locate them in pitched battles, and accidentally misdirecting troops due to erroneous mouse clicking).

Hours of enjoyment, but not overly original.

The fighting is slow and boring, with even slower controls, the graphics aren’t much, and the sound is just average.

From the texturized polygons on the characters for extra realism to the bone crunching sound effects, this game simply delivers everything you could ever want in a game, including a multiplayer mode.

The interface of this game has been stream lined and is quite intuitive. The functionality tends to be well organized and rides the line between useful and overcrowded quite well.

Overall the game was more than I expected and truly made me feel like I was onboard a starship.

The real fun of this game, of course, is playing online (or networked) multiplayer games. Be warned; heed the system requirements. Otherwise, this game is unplayable both online and offline.

Ubisoft captured all of the elements needed to control a WWII era destroyer except what it might actually feel like to command one.

For the first time I truly felt like I was on the track controlling a fully functional Nascar vehicle, and I believe that is what they were trying to accomplish.

Personally, it would not be something I would buy unless I was heavily into puzzle adventure games and was itching to solve a Scottish mystery.

The turn based strategy game was surprisingly fast paced-there is so little waiting that I almost felt like I was playing an RTS.

Another problem that I found with the audio was that the voices of soldiers and prisoners did not match up at all with the movement of their mouths.

A fun little time waster that keeps on bringing the fun with countless levels of increasing difficulty.

The only problems were with the interfaces, which get confusing and messy, kind of like my desk, so I guess that is a little too realistic.

It attempts to focus on stealth, but fails. It features poor combat, and there are not any puzzles to speak of. The game lacks any significant focus, and as a result, lacks any specific strength. Of course, the god-awful controls didn't help either.

It's a rush job, pure and simple, and it really is a shame that a once respectable series was reduced to this level of pure and utter deplorability.

A very creative game; baked with remarkable graphics, a nicely furnished plot and sprinkled with dazzling effects, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance is definitely worth buying.

There just isn’t enough variation or unique game play to make me want to play it often or probably ever again.

They took an FPS and turned it into a racing game. I don't know about you, but that seems a bit weird, and once you play the game, it gets much weirder, indeed.

A very cool game, with some minor shortcomings. The fact that it has 200 stages, and a cast of misplaced nostalgia inducers makes this a nice one to grab.

Bass 2002 seems to have tried to make this both a simulation and an arcade game, but has failed on both fronts, making this a lackluster experience at best.

The game is very pretty, and features some huge, fun levels, but it just wasn't enough to keep me playing.

This game was a frustrating mess, and I wouldn’t even recommend renting it for a couple of bucks.

The dark and mature theme gave this game a distinctive feel and the graphics take the player in deep within the prison world.

Mediocre at best, but the straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that there is no battery to save your scores to. No battery, no scores, no fun.

Rally Trophy claims to be the only Rally racing game based on historic automobiles… So What!?! Historic or not, they are still just tools used to get around the same old boring tracks.

Visually stunning.

This game gets more addicting by the hour, with secrets and new paths around every corner.

It's a lot of fun, features some good writing and an engaging story, and is the best first person RPG experience I have had in years.

The game certainly has potential, but various flaws-bad user interface, poor presentation, fairly weak AI-kept it from truly finding a place in my heart.

There are some major glitches on the Martinsville track, but NASCAR Heat 2002 is a solid and enjoyable game overall that will appeal to both NASCAR fans and casual racing gamers.

A fun-filled, fast-action title with missions of all difficulty levels, which is achieved at the cost of in depth graphics and technical stability.

Adds some needed worldly interaction into The Sims, which is a welcome addition to the game.

The variety of options available made me enjoy this game more, but it balanced out with the not so great graphics and audio.

It would be a shame to pass up Europa Univeralis II over something flashier because the likelihood is that others just can’t compete with the combined epicness and fun of the game.

A very good game, with great graphics and gameplay, but with lackluster sound. I really liked this game and that’s why I was quite disappointed with the length of it.

If you love Star Wars and enjoy RTS games look no further.

The crowning glory of Golden Sun lies in its stunning graphics. Great environments, characters, and especially fight scenes.

This game is an MMORPG that leaves me with some doubts regarding the first M. While the total population of the servers seems to fluctuate in the 10,000 area, in an average town I've visited I have found no more than ten other players, with far lower numbers in the wilderness or dungeons.

At the very least, this is an orange in a sea of apple multi-player online games … and an orange that is worth investigating in my view, especially for the current price.

If you're looking for a great action game that has an extremely intense feeling to it and 30+ hours of gameplay (excluding multiplayer), then this game is for you.

It’s a shame when a good-looking game gets ruined by the fact that it’s not any fun to play.

The only thing I can complain about is the sound, but the added features and modes definitely make this worthy of a purchase in my books.

What makes DB a good puzzle game is it’s intelligent design masked by a cute, cartoon façade.

At its very heart, it’s Doom, and the graphics can be bad, the music can stink the place out, and the Cyber Demon can be taken out, but there’s still that sick satisfaction that comes with blowing up a ring of barrels around a group of demons and watching them explode into a pile of goo.

A bit of a disappointment. I was expecting a little more action in the adventure, but it did come through when it came to the beauty and sound of the game.

Overall the game was exciting and thrilling, but in the long run this game will get tired and repetitive. The speed will keep you thrilled for a long time.
