An entertaining, sidesplitting funny game in spite of some significant technical issues. The horrid camera needs constant adjustment, and enemy targeting is spotty.

Enriching the gameplay experience significantly, the audio design stands out among the best this year. Sound effects garnish every movement and action, equally emphasizing visual and audio stimulation.

The seductive power of its plot is relatively weak and you may find yourself too overwhelmed by the absurdity of the gameplay to even care what develops in the story, but this title does in fact have a plot.

A variety of paths for each mission promises near infinite replayability.

With outdated graphics that showcase choppy animations and low-resolution textures, and below average audio, plagued by horrible voice acting, the game’s presentation fails.

Game of the year material. It’s rare these days to play a game that excels in every area-but this one does so.

While not perfect by any means, there's enough fun in Bombing Run and Double Domination alone to make this one worth picking up for some multiplayer fun.

There weren’t any killer mistakes, but all the little details like the unnatural character animations and the poor control setup start to add up.

The graphics are quite goods, as are the maps, with lots of little places to work around and use for cover. For the snipers out there, you will be pleased.

The game also finds a nice balance in navigating your Robotech jets, and aiming the guns that they possess.

The game play is exciting and difficult at times but all in all it is an astounding chance to take on the role of a Veritech fighter pilot.

Represents everything good about gaming. Hands down, the best platform game of 2002.

Only stifled by its lack of variety, Rayman Arena features well-designed and engaging gameplay.

A graphically eye catching title offering multiple game choices and services to use in the development of your perfect casino, but looking past this glitter and technical stability is a title offering no long term gameplay or challenge even to novice fans of the genre.

Adds a whole new dimension to The SIMS world that I felt it was dearly missing.

The lack of text chat capabilities and a workable inventory system prevent Tribes from greatness.

The game's gorgeous graphical presentation makes for a pleasant experience that eases the moments when excessively polished design bogs gameplay down.

The extra additions of the grooves and super combos was also a stroke of genius, and now that I look at this tiny little disc, I have to ask myself, “How did they fit it all in there?”

If you could somehow combine watching paint dry and reading a choose- your-own-adventure novel, you'd have Myst III.

With the exception of new culture specific powers that are only available in multiplayer gaming, there is nothing in EEAC that enhances the gameplay experience or adds to what is available from the core Empire Earth game.

The whole game concept is worn and exhausted, the graphics are shallow, the gameplay is repetitive, and the sounds are poor.

I was amazed at the strength of the gameplay. With the tremendous online abilities and the multiple options for each player, the game has great depth.

Such a well-crafted, polished (aside from the camera), and entertaining experience that it managed to win over this jaded gaming cynic, inevitable merchandising tie-ins and all.

The courses are well laid out and challenging at the higher levels, but they are no different than a normal oval pavement track offering players nothing to see but the other opponents' vehicles.

Although not graphically superior, KSPS holds the essence of surfing in solid gameplay, authenticity, and depth.

It offered fair and fun gameplay and easy controls that were simple to maneuver...For a non-sports game fan, I was delighted to play a sports game and like it.

The game ultimately fails due to flawed and shallow gameplay.

For fans of the genre, Animal Crossing can best be explained as a mix between "Harvest Moon" and "The Sims," and it's just so damn fun.
