More like a chore than an experience.

They toss some gore and sex into the mix and hope to distract us from the fact that it’s a really average action-adventure game.

The level design is uninspired, the controls ... well don't, and the game's sense of speed is nonexistent.

A nagging generic sameness that, despite a wonderful localization, robs the game of any joy in playing it.

Has problems galore, most noticeably in the controls, and to be perfectly frank: it’s just not fun to play.

The promising foundation is very nearly forgotten due to a rickety structure atop it. Regardless of whether or not you’ve watched the movies, chances are, you’ll be disappointed with this one.

One of the worst games found on the PS2.

Not only is it bland, simplistic, and limited, but the technical problems it has makes this game virtually unplayable.

With poor design, few "levels" and frustrating gameplay, there’s not a lot here to praise.

Lacking in the depth that even arcade-style fans look for, the only strength of the game is in its unique fish-landing interface, which is very PS2-centric.

This game should be avoided by all means. A complete game engine overhaul is much needed, along with a graphics engine rework, better and less repetitious dialogue.

The grappling system is decent, but grows weary soon enough. And considering how much the success of professional wrestling depends on the showmanship of its combatants, the game delivers a pretty bland experience.

The type of game that makes people claim PS2 is all about graphics and no gameplay. With no career mode, no WCW/ECW stars and an incredibly shallow Story Mode, there's simply NO reason to even rent this game.

Just stay away from Driven, for the love of God, stay away.

Although it does have some neat elements, such as being able to play as the bad guy and several spell elements, it doesn't make up for the lack of texture quality, as well as the shaky framerate and bad camera.

In a field of its own somewhere near the bottom of the bottomless gaming abyss.

This easily pales in comparison next to "Z.O.E." or "Armored Core 2," and I'm not interested in spending more time with it.

WDL War Jetz falls well short in its bid for great arcade flight fun, and although easily controllable and fairly simple, it's barely a rental.

Not many people will be entertained enough to see the game through to the end, mainly because the bad control will cause you to snap your controller in two.

A big mess from top to bottom. The graphics are fine, but everything else needed a gigantic overhaul worse than a Chevy Corvair.

Lifeless and mundane "hits," atrocious control, impossible scoring, non-existent defense and offense set-ups, and jerky, flawed replays that happened WAY too fast, and you've got a game that is seriously lacking in the gameplay category.

Some of the worst gameplay I've ever had the misfortune of laying eyes on, and the entire look and feel of the game is seriously lacking.

Underneath the silver lining of good graphics and bunches of options lies seriously flawed gameplay that ultimately ruins the experience.

The entire game will most likely leave most gamers (not just basketball fans) feeling disgusted.

The gameplay is leaps and bounds ahead of the game's graphical prowess, but then, that's probably not saying too much, now is it?

The track editor adds lots of replay value, but when the base game is so uninspiring there's not much of a point.

Until next year, avoid the weak gameplay, shoddy animation, and disappointing graphics. Stick to meaty, mighty, Madden.

If you're desperate for a surfer on your PS2, you are better off wallowing in that desperation, alone in bed, and shivering violently, as H30 will do more bad for you than good.

It's just the mediocrity of everything - the story, voice acting, character development, plot progression, translation, combat system - that make it an average gaming experience.
