Using some of the finest visuals to grace a next-generation platform, and solid gameplay, the game proves that PlayStation 2 has more than a bit of fight left in it.

While the PS2-level graphics make the game prettier than its PSone predecessors, the basics of gameplay remain essentially unchanged since the debut of the first title.

Some baseball games may offer sharper graphics or more voice acting, but no game offers a deeper, more realistic simulation of America's pastime.

The amount of playing time between save points and the lengthiness of the story segments might annoy a less patient gamer, but if you wanted a shallow storyline, why are you buying RPGs?

Takes the ideas presented in the original game and expands and improves upon its predecessor in every imaginable way, and by leaps and bounds at that.

Highly original and addictive, .hack is more interesting than most of the MOM-RPGs the game attempts to simulate.

A groovy game surround by a "so what?" story. Here's hoping the inevitable sequel will see both aspects "get it right" at the same time.

If this game didn't have such a robust (yes, that's right, robust) track creation engine, then HSX would only be worth a weekend rental.

This game deserves a look at, even if just to admire the scope to which Lindon was recreated and the movie-like feel.

This is a straight up monster brawler done right.

Easily the best college basketball game ever made.

By far a breath of fresh air on PlayStation 2, a system with far too many FPS games that simply have lackluster plots and characters that are basically on a mission to kill everything using the biggest explosions possible.

Although it is hampered with framerate issues and a bit of a clumsy interface, the game delivers on mostly every other aspect.

Fast, frenetic, and most importantly fun.

The replay value for this title is huge and the amount of time that it's going to require to unlock everything is significant and will keep gamers glued to see what they can unlock next.

Definitely one of the best Rally racing games out in the market.

The gameplay is tight (after a few initial tweaks) and it blurs the line between sim and arcade styles of gameplay.

It’s incredibly fun, and incredibly addicting. It’s just too bad that the camera system is incredibly flawed.

You get tight gameplay, flawless control, addictive mini games, and fun, competitive racing. Too bad about the online aspect though.

A gaming masterpiece... Combines action, platforming, and RPG elements convincingly, creating one of the best platformers in recent memory.

Sets a new standard when it comes to wrestling games.

Contains a lot more of what people loved about GTA3, along with a dream-come-true soundtrack and voice cast, and over twice as many missions.

The best DDR out right now. You get a plethora of songs, better graphics than those found on the PSone versions, the new freeze arrows, and more difficulty settings.

Tells a great story with great characters, offers a lot of variety and, despite its graphical and audio deficiencies, is still the best RPG of 2002.

A great online game that will give you tons of replayability long after you are done playing its single player mode. Hats off to Neversoft for creating such a stable online environment with GameSpy.

Due to the sheer difficulty, it's actually only for a select few.

Well-presented, deep and involving.

It's still great, but I felt that the original Red Faction was a bit more engaging.
