UFC fans should be more than satisfied. It’s not as polished as I would’ve liked, and the depth is somewhat hindered by overly similar modes of play.

What could have been in the top ten games of the year has been brought down by dropping frame rates, repetitive gameplay, and agonizing load times.

A pretty, well-designed, stylish, and captivating piece of work that unfortunately suffers a bit with some distant and muted sound effects and less-than-engaging races.

It really delivers when it comes to captivating gameplay and incredible sound...It has the potential to provide hours of entertainment, but only for the right individual looking for this kind of game.

Don't forget to bring your patience though because Maximo's poorly implemented camera system, semi-cheap enemy placement at the end of jumps, and save system may be the difference between you liking this game, and you hating this game.

This is a curiously addictive game, and with the various modes offered, you'll be busy hauling bass and making a name for yourself in no time. Just don't forget to grow out those sideburns.

The non-stop action can get a bit repetitive and ultimately tiresome, and the sound effects may begin to wear on the nerves after a few hours of playing.

If the game had been more realistic, it actually would’ve been easier. No Stuntman will do some of these scenes and expect to survive...jumping onto and through a train? Nor would they do so many stunts in one take.

I really enjoyed Gungrave. I was able to come to terms with it’s short play length and old school simplicity, but I understand that this game might not pack enough staying power to warrant the $50 price tag.

A solid videogaming experience and one that, for a relatively inexperienced American public, is well worth trying out. Die-hard fans of the sport will be a tad disappointed with a number of aspects.

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

Offers a good amount of playability for anyone even remotely interested in motocross or racing games in general.

One of the best puzzlers to ever grace a console, and almost a must-have party game.

For being button-masher friendly and suffering from uninspiring Career and Tournament modes, the game still somehow manages to end up as a rather top-notch boxer.

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

The graphics are excellent, the replays are amazing, the gameplay is solid, and even though the sound is sub-par, it's definitely worth a rent for racing fans.

A solid game, but I just wish it brought more to the genre as far as originality.

Great graphics, good sound, mediocre gameplay. We were soooo close.

The game is fun for a limited amount of time, but due to its lack of depth and lackluster at best multi-player mode, you will probably not find yourself playing this game whole a helluva lot once that initial excitement wears off.

It's not the giant that its characters are, but it is a pretty big fish that should be checked out, by rental at least.

With no online mode, and a limited set of additions, there isn't much of a difference here when compared to Blitz 20-02.

Maybe my expectations were set so low that there was nowhere to go but up the scale, but I truly found myself enjoying the gameplay. It was a relief to play a Star Wars title that made fun of itself before I could.

Somehow Remedy Entertainment made the PS2 look like an old man when compared to the new console and the tried and true personal computer.

Most definitely in the same vein as other EA Sports titles like "FIFA 2001" and "NHL 2001," but nowhere near the almost perfect stature of "Madden 2001."

Loads of potential. As for this year's game, it “bumbles and stumbles” out of the gate to a third-place finish behind Madden 2002 and NFL2K2.

Short length and repetitive gameplay take a little away from it, but action fans should be pleased.

The game is pretty simple in terms of menus and navigation, yet incredibly in-depth in terms of styles of music you can mix and match.

The most entertaining feature in Barbarian is, without a doubt, the interactive environments.
