Brilliant in some places, just plain dull in most of the others. [NGC]

Fantastic short-term shooting jollies with superb atmosphere, but the size of the thing makes it difficult to recommend. [GamesMaster]

Whether you're struggling to pop an ollie, or reverting your way to a 57-string combo - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 will keep you enthralled long into the winter. [GamesMaster]

A decently solid shooter that's good for a few hours fun. Shame they couldn't include the original as a bonus, though. [GamesMaster]

With so much chasing and fighting in the movie, the scrolling slasher genre seems ideal. However, the result is a simplistic and repetitive game. [PSM2]

An enjoyably brainless, highly destructive romp. It doesn't offer anything new but it does do everything well. [PSM2]

But why Surreal Software decided to make the playing the game such hard work is anyone's guess. [GamesMaster]

A challenging single-player, stupidly addictive multiplayer and a whopping great lifespan. [NGC]

Truth is, "THPS4" is better in every respect. [PSM2]

Zen-balanced succulent gameplay. Sublime in single-player, supreme with friends. [PSM2]

The true brilliance shines through whenever you get enough mates together to unearth the full potential of the multiplayer.

An instant classic with the best multiplayer mode of any console title. [XGamer]

Looks a bit rubbish at first, but scratch the surface and you'll find one of the strongest and most rewarding Xbox games yet. [GamesMaster]

It might lack the polish to be genius, but there aren't many more enjoyable or expansive driving games. [GamesMaster]

Challenging, cerebral, and maddening. Hitman 2 keeps you coming back but there just aren't enough saves in the game. [PC Format]

The most pulsating, nut-chafing, wind-in-the-hair experiences that can be prised from a game console. [GamesMaster]

In a game where individual acts of heroism are as important as a coherent plan, one brilliant feature is the rewards system. [XGamer]

The ineffable sense of charm, the hypnotically addictive gameplay, and the sheer cartoon histrionics on offer offset any minor niggles. [Edge]

Best tennis game on the PC. [PC Format]

Better than the original. [GamesMaster]

As a stand-alone game, Unreal Champ doesn't offer the same package as "Halo" or "TimeSplitters 2." [Offline review by XGamer]

A leaner, more vicious Tekken for a competitive age - surprising how much two new characters add to an already classy game. [Import, PSM2]

Offers just enough variety and story to keep you hanging until its early end. [GamesMaster]

An underwhelming conversion can't quite obscure its brilliance. [XGamer]

The whole look and feel of the game suggests that most of the budget was splurged on the licence alone, leaving very little left in the kitty for production values or a solitary new idea. [PSM2]

For all its faults [camera, linear progress], this is one of the most vividly imagined, sprawling and openly heart-warming games on PS2. [PSM2]

Thankfully, the whole thing is also infinitely better-lit than previous outing Circle of the Moon, which means that playing it without industrial-strength lighting overhead is now an option. [NGC]

Hardly the deepest but certainly the coolest game of its type. [NGC]
